Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will,” “may” or words of similar meaning and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements we make relating to potential dividends or share repurchases; future return of capital by Enact Holdings, Inc. (“Enact Holdings”), including share repurchases, and quarterly and special dividends; the cumulative economic benefit of approved and future rate increases and benefit reductions included in our multi-year in-force rate action plan and other reduced benefit options associated with the long-term care insurance products in our Closed Block segment; planned investments in and our outlook for new lines of business or new insurance and other products and services, such as those we are pursuing with our CareScout business (“CareScout”), including through our CareScout services business (“CareScout Services”) and our CareScout insurance business (“CareScout Insurance”); the expected benefits and/or synergies of the Seniorly, Inc.

PART I

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless the context otherwise requires, “Genworth,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Genworth Financial, Inc. on a consolidated basis. References to “Genworth Financial” refer solely to Genworth Financial, Inc., and not to any of its consolidated subsidiaries. Certain prior period balance sheet amounts included herein have been revised to ensure comparability across periods. See note 2 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information.

Item 1. Business

Overview

Genworth Financial offers mortgage insurance products through its principal mortgage insurance subsidiaries. Genworth Financial also has start-up businesses whereby it offers fee-based services, advice, consulting and other aging-care services through CareScout Services and long-term care insurance products through CareScout Insurance.

In October 2025, Genworth Financial began selling an individual long-term care insurance product through its CareScout Insurance subsidiary, CareScout Insurance Company, and ceased sales of long-term care insurance products through Genworth Life Insurance Company (“GLIC”). GLIC and its subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Genworth Financial and are referred to together as “Closed Block” or our “legacy insurance subsidiaries,” no longer offer or sell long-term care insurance, life insurance or annuity products. However, our legacy insurance subsidiaries will continue to service and manage their in-force blocks of business and may still issue a limited number of certificates under existing group long-term care insurance policies.

In connection with the cessation of sales through GLIC, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, we changed our reportable segments to better align with how we currently manage our business. Under the new reporting structure, we operate our business through the following two reportable segments: Enact, comprised primarily of private mortgage insurance products, and Closed Block, comprised of long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products that were previously sold through our legacy insurance companies. In addition to our two reportable segments, we disclose other business activities and operating results in Corporate and Other, including our start-up businesses, CareScout Services and CareScout Insurance. We believe the change helps to enhance understanding of business performance and better aligns with our strategic priorities, including to maintain self-sustaining legacy insurance subsidiaries, which are managed on a standalone basis, as further described below. All prior period financial information has been recast to reflect the reorganized segment reporting structure.

Genworth Financial is the parent company of Enact Holdings, a leading provider of private mortgage insurance in the United States through its mortgage insurance subsidiaries. Enact Holdings is a public company traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market exchange under the ticker symbol “ACT.” Genworth Financial maintains control of Enact Holdings through an indirect majority voting interest and accordingly, Enact Holdings remains a consolidated subsidiary of Genworth Financial. Enact Holdings and its mortgage insurance subsidiaries comprise, and can therefore generally be viewed as, our Enact segment, or commonly referred to as “Enact.”

Strategic Priorities

Create value

We continue to create shareholder value through Enact’s growing market value and capital returns. Enact Holdings provided $407 million of capital returns to Genworth Holdings, Inc. (“Genworth Holdings”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, in 2025. We believe capital returns from Enact will continue to benefit our shareholders by funding our strategic initiatives, including new CareScout products and services, as well as share repurchases and opportunistic debt reduction. In September 2025, Genworth Financial announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new share repurchase program under which Genworth Financial may purchase up to $350 million of its outstanding common stock. Since the initial authorization of Genworth Financial’s share repurchase program in May 2022 and through February 20, 2026, we have repurchased $828 million worth of shares of Genworth Financial’s common stock. For additional information on our share repurchase program, see “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Drive growth

We continue to drive future growth through CareScout with innovative, consumer-focused aging care services and funding solutions.

CareScout Services

CareScout Services made significant progress during 2025, expanding its network of care providers (“CareScout Quality Network”) to approximately 790 home care providers with more than 1,000 locations nationwide, and continued to see growth in the number of CareScout members who received first-time services from the network. Each CareScout Quality Network provider must meet CareScout Services’ rigorous credentialing standards.

In October 2025, we acquired Seniorly, a leading platform with a large network of senior living communities that helps families with care planning and placement. The acquisition of Seniorly will expand the CareScout Quality Network to include assisted living communities and is expected to accelerate our expansion into the direct-to-consumer market, allowing us to connect consumers to the full range of CareScout Services offerings. Credentialing of Seniorly’s major national senior living providers is underway and is expected to be complete by the end of 2026.

In addition to expanding the network, we are scaling other fee-based service offerings that we anticipate will generate a growing stream of recurring revenue, including our assessments service and our new Care Plans service, which launched in the second quarter of 2025. Our Care Plans offer a virtual or in-person care evaluation conducted by a licensed nurse and include a tailored aging-care strategy and a variety of local resources available to assist consumers.

Excluding the payment to acquire Seniorly, we contributed approximately $50 million to CareScout Services in 2025. The capital was used to scale our technology-enabled platform, along with marketing and brand awareness, as we seek to position the business for sustainable long-term growth. In 2026, we expect to continue to expand both the range of services offered by CareScout Services and the number of customers we serve. As the CareScout Quality Network continues to expand and brand awareness grows, we anticipate increased traction with consumers. In addition to the benefits to consumers, the discounts available through the network are expected to further mitigate risk in our long-term care insurance products in Closed Block by reducing claims costs over time.

CareScout Insurance

We continue to advance our strategy to roll out innovative solutions to meet the growing demand for aging-care funding through CareScout Insurance. In October 2025, CareScout Insurance launched a new individual long-term care insurance product, Care Assurance, with the product live in 40 states as of February 20, 2026, and additional approvals pending. Care Assurance features customizable levels of coverage, inflation protection and individualized policyholder experiences. It also includes access to the CareScout Quality Network, along with an array of wellness support tools and care planning services. This product has been developed with conservative pricing assumptions designed to help mitigate the need for future premium rate increases. We are actively engaging with partners to broaden our distribution channels and plan to launch worksite and association group offerings later in 2026. While we expect adoption to build gradually, we believe this product creates significant value for both our customers and distribution partners.

We contributed $85 million to our CareScout Insurance subsidiary in 2025 to meet its regulatory capital requirements. Though actual funding may vary based on business performance and other developments, we anticipate smaller capital investments will be allocated to this business over the next few years.

While it will take time to scale these businesses, we believe our investments in CareScout Services and CareScout Insurance will drive sustainable future growth for Genworth and are aligned with our overarching priority to maximize long-term value for our shareholders. We will continue to strive to maintain a disciplined approach in our capital allocation strategy, balancing investments in CareScout growth initiatives with returning value to shareholders and opportunistically retiring debt.

Maintain self-sustainability

We continue to actively manage our self-sustaining, customer-centric legacy insurance subsidiaries, comprising long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products included in our Closed Block segment. Our long-term care insurance multi-year in-force rate action plan continues to be our most effective tool in supporting this strategic priority. We achieved an estimated cumulative economic benefit of approximately $34.5 billion, on a net present value basis, of

Table of Contents

approved rate increases and benefit reductions from 2012 through 2025. As we manage our legacy insurance subsidiaries on a standalone basis, these entities will continue to rely on their statutory capital, significant reserves, prudent management of the in-force blocks and other management actions, including our long-term care insurance in-force rate actions, to satisfy policyholder obligations. For additional information regarding our in-force rate actions, see “—Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment—Closed Block segment” within “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Enact Segment

Through Enact Holdings and its mortgage insurance subsidiaries, we have been providing private mortgage insurance products and services in the United States since 1981 and operate in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Enact is engaged in the business of writing and assuming residential mortgage guaranty insurance. The insurance covers a portion of the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans where the loan amount exceeds 80% of the value of the home (“low down payment mortgages” or “high loan-to-value mortgages”) and protects lenders and investors against certain losses resulting from nonpayment of loans secured by mortgages, deeds of trust or other instruments constituting a first lien on residential real estate. Private mortgage insurance facilitates the sale of mortgages to the secondary market, including to private investors as well as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government-sponsored enterprises and are collectively referred to as the “GSEs.” Credit protection and liquidity through secondary market sales allow mortgage lenders to increase their lending capacity, manage risk and expand financing access to prospective homeowners, many of whom are first time home buyers. At present, mortgage insurance products are primarily geared towards secondary market sales to the GSEs. Enact’s mortgage insurance products predominantly insure prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans.

The overall U.S. residential mortgage market encompasses both primary and secondary markets. The primary market consists of lenders originating home loans to borrowers to support home purchases, which are referred to as purchase originations, and loans made to refinance existing mortgages, which are referred to as refinancing originations. The secondary market includes institutions buying and selling mortgages in the form of whole loans or securitized assets, such as mortgage-backed securities. The GSEs are the largest participants in the secondary mortgage market, buying residential mortgages from banks and other primary lenders as part of their governmental mandate to provide access, liquidity and stability in the U.S. housing finance system.

The GSE charters generally require credit enhancement for low down payment mortgages to be eligible for purchase by the GSEs. Such credit enhancement can be satisfied if a loan is insured by a GSE-qualified insurer, the mortgage seller retains at least a 10% participation in the loan, or the seller agrees to repurchase or replace the loan in the event of a default. Private mortgage insurance satisfies the GSEs’ credit enhancement requirement and historically has been the preferred method lenders have utilized to meet this GSE charter requirement. As a result, the nature of the private mortgage insurance industry in the United States is driven in large part by the business practices and mortgage insurance requirements of the GSEs. In furtherance of their respective charter requirements, each GSE maintains eligibility criteria to establish when a mortgage insurer is qualified to issue coverage that will be acceptable to the GSEs for their portfolio. For more information about the financial and other requirements of the GSEs for Enact Holdings and its mortgage insurance subsidiaries, see “—Regulation—Enact—Mortgage Insurance Regulation—Other U.S. regulation and agency qualification requirements.”

Enact operates the majority of its business through its primary mortgage insurance subsidiary, Enact Mortgage Insurance Corporation (“EMICO”), which is an approved insurer by the GSEs. Enact also offers mortgage and credit-related insurance and reinsurance through its other subsidiaries. Enact Re Ltd. (“Enact Re”), Enact’s wholly-owned Bermuda-based subsidiary, also reinsures EMICO’s new and existing insurance in-force under quota share reinsurance agreements.

Selected financial information and operating performance measures regarding our Enact segment are included under “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Enact segment.”

Table of Contents

Products and services

Enact offers the following mortgage insurance products:

Primary mortgage insurance

Substantially all of Enact’s policies are primary mortgage insurance, which provides protection on individual loans at specified coverage percentages. Primary mortgage insurance is placed on individual loans at the time of origination and is typically delivered to Enact on a loan-by-loan basis. Primary mortgage insurance can also be delivered to Enact on an aggregated basis, whereby each mortgage in a given loan portfolio is insured in a single transaction after the point of origination.

Customers who purchase primary mortgage insurance select a specific coverage level for each insured loan. To be eligible for purchase by a GSE, a low down payment mortgage must comply with the coverage percentages established by that particular GSE. For loans not sold to the GSEs, the customer determines its desired coverage percentage. Generally, Enact’s risk across all policies written is approximately 25% of the underlying primary insurance in-force, but may vary from policy to policy, typically between 6% and 35% coverage. The loan amount and coverage percentage determine Enact’s risk in-force on each insured loan.

Enact files premium rates, as required, with the insurance departments of U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Premium rates cannot be changed after the issuance of coverage. Premium payments for primary mortgage insurance coverage are typically made by the borrower and are referred to as borrower-paid mortgage insurance. Loans for which premiums are paid by the lender are referred to as lender-paid mortgage insurance. In either case, the payment of premium to Enact is generally the responsibility of the insured. Premiums are generally calculated as a percentage of the original principal balance and may be paid on a monthly or annual basis, as a single premium paid at the time of mortgage origination or split, where an initial lump sum premium is paid at the time of mortgage origination in addition to subsequent monthly payments.

Pool mortgage insurance

Pool mortgage insurance transactions provide coverage on a finite set of individual loans identified by the pool policy. Pool policies contain coverage percentages and provisions limiting the insurer’s obligation to pay claims until a threshold amount is reached (known as a “deductible”) or capping the insurer’s potential aggregate liability for claims payments (known as a “stop loss”) or a combination of both provisions. Pool mortgage insurance is typically used to provide additional credit enhancement for certain secondary market mortgage transactions. Pool insurance generally covers the excess of the loss on a defaulted mortgage loan that exceeds the claim payment under the primary coverage, if such loan has primary coverage, as well as the total loss on a defaulted mortgage loan that did not have primary coverage. In another variation, generally referred to as modified pool insurance, policies are structured to include both an exposure limit for each individual loan, as well as an aggregate loss limit or a deductible for the entire pool. Currently, Enact has an insignificant amount of pool insurance in-force.

Contract underwriting services

Enact also performs fee-based contract underwriting services for its customers. Contract underwriting services provide customers outsourced scalable capacity to underwrite mortgage loans. Enact’s underwriters can underwrite the loan on behalf of its customers for both investor compliance and mortgage insurance, thus reducing duplicative activities and increasing Enact’s ability to write mortgage insurance for these loans. Under contract underwriting agreement terms, Enact agrees to indemnify its customers against losses incurred in the event it makes material errors in determining whether loans underwritten by its contract underwriters meet specified underwriting or purchase criteria, subject to contractual limitations. As a result, Enact assumes credit and processing risk in connection with its contract underwriting services.

Underwriting and pricing

Enact establishes and maintains underwriting guidelines based on its risk appetite. Enact’s guidelines require borrowers to have a verified capacity and willingness to support their obligation and a well-supported valuation of the collateral. Enact’s underwriting guidelines incorporate credit eligibility requirements that, among other things, limit its coverage to mortgages that meet its thresholds with respect to borrower Fair Isaac Company (“FICO”) scores, maximum loan-to-value ratios, documentation requirements and maximum debt-to-income ratios. All loans must pass through its

Table of Contents

eligibility rules to ensure proper discharge of loans not meeting its guidelines and to maintain thorough underwriting standards.

Enact’s underwriting guidelines are largely consistent with those of the GSEs. Many of its customers use the GSEs’ automated loan underwriting systems for making credit determinations. Enact generally accepts the underwriting decisions and documentation requirements made by the GSEs’ underwriting systems, subject to its review as well as certain limitations and requirements.

FICO developed the FICO credit scoring model to calculate a score based upon a borrower’s credit history. Enact uses the FICO credit score as one indicator of a borrower’s credit quality. Typically, a borrower with a higher credit score has a lower likelihood of defaulting on a loan. FICO credit scores range up to 850, with a score of 620 or more generally viewed as a “prime” loan and a score below 620 generally viewed as a “sub-prime” loan. Generally, “A minus” loans are loans where the borrowers have FICO credit scores between 575 and 660 and have a blemished credit history. The weighted average FICO score of Enact’s primary insurance in-force was 746 as of December 31, 2025.

Loan applications for primary mortgage insurance are either directly reviewed by Enact (or its contract underwriters), or as noted below, by lenders under delegated authority. In either case, automated underwriting systems may be utilized. For non-delegated underwriting, customers submit loan files to Enact and Enact individually underwrites each application to determine whether it will insure the loan. Enact uses its mortgage insurance underwriting system to perform non-delegated underwriting evaluations, and its underwriting staff is dispersed throughout the United States. In addition to its employees, Enact uses contract underwriters to assist with underwriting capacity and drive efficiency.

Enact delegates to eligible lender customers the ability to underwrite mortgage insurance based on its delegated underwriting guidelines. To perform delegated underwriting, customers must be approved by Enact’s risk management team. Enact regularly performs quality assurance reviews on a statistically significant sample of delegated loans to assess compliance with its guidelines. Enact also offers a post-closing underwriting review when requested by customers for both non-delegated and delegated loans. Upon satisfactory completion of this review, Enact agrees to waive its right to rescind coverage under certain circumstances.

Pricing is highly competitive in the mortgage insurance industry, with industry participants competing for market share, customer relationships and overall value. To appropriately align price and risk, dynamic pricing engines utilize granular pricing models based on a number of loan, borrower, lender and property risk attributes. Enact’s risk-based pricing engine was developed to evaluate returns and volatility under both the private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements (“PMIERs”) capital framework and its internal economic capital framework, which is sensitive to economic cycles and current housing market conditions. The model assesses the performance of new business under expected and stress scenarios on an individualized loan basis, which is used to determine pricing and inform Enact’s risk selection strategy that seeks to optimize economic value by balancing return and volatility.

Enact seeks to charge premium rates commensurate with the underlying risk of each loan insured. Enact’s proprietary pricing platform provides a flexible, granular and analytical approach to selecting and pricing risk and its use allows Enact to adjust its risk tolerance by quickly changing prices in response to evolving economic conditions, new analytical insights or industry pricing trends.

Loss mitigation

Enact’s loss mitigation and claims department is led by seasoned personnel who are supported by default tracking and claims processing capabilities within their integrated platform. Enact’s loss mitigation staff is also actively engaged with the GSEs and servicers regarding appropriate servicing and loss mitigation practices. Enact has granted loss mitigation delegation to the GSEs and servicers, whereby they perform certain loss mitigation efforts on Enact’s behalf. Moreover, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (“CFPB”) mortgage servicing rule obligates servicers to engage in early intervention and loss mitigation efforts with a borrower prior to foreclosure. These efforts have traditionally involved loan modifications intended to enable qualified borrowers to make restructured loan payments or sell the property, thereby potentially reducing claim amounts. Borrower forbearance plans allow deferred or reduced payments for borrowers experiencing financial hardship under certain circumstances. At the conclusion of the forbearance term, a borrower may either bring the loan current, defer any missed payments until the end of the loan, pay missed payments through a repayment plan or have one or more terms of the original note modified via a loan modification. Enact’s goal is to keep borrowers in their homes. If a loan becomes delinquent, Enact works closely with the customer, investor and servicer to attempt to cure the delinquency and allow the homeowner to retain ownership of the property.

Table of Contents

Claims result from delinquencies that are not cured, or from losses on short sales, other third-party sales or deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure that Enact approves. Under the terms of Enact’s primary insurance master policy, customers are required to file claims within 60 days of the earliest of: (i) the date the customer acquired title to the underlying property (typically through foreclosure); (ii) the date of an approved short sale (or other third-party sale of the underlying property); or (iii) the date a request is made by Enact to file a claim. Upon review and determination that a filed claim is valid, Enact may pay the coverage percentage specified in the certificate of insurance and related expenses, pay the amount of the claim required to make the customer whole, commonly referred to as the “actual loss amount,” following the approved sale or pay the full claim amount and acquire title to the property.

Claim activity is not evenly spread across the coverage period of loans Enact insures. The number of delinquencies may not correlate directly with the number of claims received because the rate at which delinquencies are cured is influenced by borrowers’ financial resources and circumstances, as well as regional economic differences. For those loans that fail to cure, whether delinquency leads to a claim principally depends upon the borrower’s equity at the time of delinquency and the borrower’s or the insured’s ability to sell the home for an amount sufficient to satisfy all amounts due under the mortgage loan.

When claim notices are received, Enact reviews the loan and servicing files to determine the appropriateness of a claim amount. Failure to deliver the required documentation or Enact’s review of such documentation may result in a rescission, cancellation or claim denial. Enact’s insurance policies allow for the reduction or denial of a claim if the servicer does not materially comply with its obligations under Enact’s policies, including the requirement to pursue reasonable loss mitigation actions. Enact also periodically receives claim notices that request coverage for costs and expenses associated with items not covered under its policies, such as losses resulting from property damage to a covered home. Enact actively reviews claim notices in an effort to ensure it pays only for covered expenses. A reduction in the claim amount paid relative to the amount requested in the claim notice is deemed to be a curtailment.

When reviewing loan and servicing files in connection with the delinquency or claims process, Enact may also decide to rescind coverage of the underlying mortgages or deny payment of claims. Enact’s ability to rescind coverage is limited by the terms of its master policies. Enact may rescind coverage in situations where, among other things, (i) fraudulent misrepresentations were made or materially inaccurate information was provided regarding a borrower’s income, debts, intention to occupy a property or property value or (ii) a loan was originated in material violation of Enact’s underwriting guidelines.

Consideration is given to an insured’s appeal of rescinded coverage. If Enact agrees with the appeal, it takes the necessary steps to reinstate insurance coverage and reactivate the loan certificate or otherwise address the issues raised in the appeal. If the parties are unable to agree on the outcome of the appeal, the insured may choose to pursue arbitration or litigation under the terms of the applicable master policy and challenge the results. Subject to applicable limitations in Enact’s policies and by state law, legal challenges to Enact’s actions may be brought several years after the disposal of a claim.

From time to time, Enact enters into agreements with policyholders to accelerate claims and negotiate an agreed-upon payment amount for claims on an identified group of delinquent loans. In exchange for the accelerated claim payment, mortgage insurance is canceled and Enact is discharged from any further liability on the identified loans.

Distribution and customers

Enact distributes its mortgage insurance products through a dedicated sales force located throughout the United States, including inside sales representatives. Enact’s sales force utilizes a digital marketing program designed to expand its customer reach beyond traditional sales. Enact’s sales force primarily markets to financial institutions and mortgage originators that impose a requirement for mortgage insurance as part of the borrower’s financing.

Enact’s industry presence has enabled it to build active customer relationships with mortgage lenders across the United States. Enact’s customers are broadly diversified by size, type and geography and include large money center banks, non-bank lenders, national and local mortgage bankers, community banks and credit unions. Enact’s principal mortgage insurance customers are originators of residential mortgage loans who typically determine which mortgage insurer or insurers they will use for the placement of mortgage insurance written on loans they originate.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, Enact’s largest customer accounted for 22% of its new insurance written and 12% of its total revenues. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenues or new insurance written for the

year ended December 31, 2025. Enact’s largest five lender customers generated 33% of its new insurance written in 2025. For information on the potential impacts due to customer concentration, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Changes in the composition of Enact Holdings’ business or undue concentration by customer or geographic region could cause a significant loss of business or adverse performance of a small segment of its portfolio.”

Competition

Enact’s principal sources of competition are U.S. federal, state and local government agencies and other private mortgage insurers. Enact also competes with mortgage lenders and other investors, the GSEs, portfolio lenders who self-insure, reinsurers, and other capital markets participants who may utilize financial instruments designed to mitigate risk.

U.S. federal, state and local government agencies

Enact and other private mortgage insurers compete for mortgage insurance business directly with U.S. federal agencies, principally the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), and to a lesser extent, state and local housing finance agencies. Enact’s competition with government agencies is principally on the basis of price and underwriting guidelines. In contrast to private mortgage insurers, government agencies generally have less restrictive guidelines and apply a flat pricing structure regardless of an individual borrower’s credit profile. As a result, we believe borrowers with lower FICO scores are more likely to secure mortgage loans with coverage by government agencies, and borrowers with higher FICO scores are more likely to secure mortgage loans with coverage by private mortgage insurers.

Private mortgage insurers

The U.S. private mortgage insurance industry is highly competitive. Enact competes on pricing, underwriting guidelines, customer relationships, service levels, policy terms, loss mitigation practices, perceived financial strength (including comparative financial strength ratings), reputation, product features, and effective use and ease of technology. There are currently six active private mortgage insurers in the United States, including Enact.

GSEs, portfolio lenders, reinsurers and other capital markets participants

Enact also competes with various participants in the mortgage finance industry including the GSEs, portfolio lenders, reinsurers and other participants in the capital markets. Enact competes with these participants primarily based on pricing, policy terms and perceived financial strength. The GSEs enter into risk sharing transactions with financial institutions designed to reduce the risk of their mortgage portfolios. Competition also comes from portfolio lenders that are willing to hold credit risk on their balance sheets without credit enhancement. In addition, investors can make use of risk-sharing structures designed to mitigate the impact of mortgage defaults in place of private mortgage insurance. Finally, although their presence is a fraction of what it was in the past, there are products designed to eliminate the need for private mortgage insurance, such as “simultaneous seconds,” which combine a first lien loan with a second lien loan in order to meet the 80% loan-to-value threshold required for sale to the GSEs without certain credit protections.

Closed Block Segment

We service a variety of protection and retirement income products that were previously sold through our legacy insurance subsidiaries. Our primary protection products include long-term care and life insurance. Long-term care insurance products are intended to protect against the significant and escalating costs of long-term care services provided in the insured’s home or assisted living or nursing facilities. Our life insurance products include traditional and non-traditional life insurance (term, universal and term universal life insurance as well as corporate-owned life insurance and funding agreements). Our retirement income products include fixed and variable annuities.

On October 1, 2025, we ceased sales of long-term care insurance products through GLIC. We have not actively sold our life insurance and fixed annuity products since 2016 and our variable annuity products since 2011. These long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products that were previously sold through our legacy insurance subsidiaries comprise our Closed Block segment. Our legacy insurance subsidiaries continue to service their existing in-force blocks of business.

As part of our strategy for the long-term care insurance products included in our Closed Block segment, and in connection with our strategic priority to maintain self-sustaining, customer-centric legacy insurance subsidiaries, we have

Table of Contents

been implementing, and expect to continue to pursue, significant premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions in order to reduce the strain on the segment’s earnings and capital. For certain risks related to our long-term care insurance products and in-force rate actions, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—The inability to execute in-force management actions (including obtaining in-force rate actions) on our long-term care insurance products in Closed Block could have a material adverse impact on our business, including our results of operations and financial condition.”

See “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Closed Block segment” for selected operating performance measures related to our long-term care insurance in-force rate actions.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other includes debt financing expenses that are incurred at the Genworth Holdings level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, and eliminations of inter-segment transactions. Corporate and Other also includes the results of other businesses that are not individually reportable, such as CareScout Services, CareScout Insurance and certain international businesses. See “—Business—Strategic Priorities” for additional details on our CareScout growth initiatives.

Risk Management

Risk management is a critical part of all of our businesses. We have an enterprise risk management framework that includes risk management processes relating to strategic priorities and risks (including emerging risks); product development and pricing; management of in-force business (including certain mitigating strategies and claims risk management); credit risk management; asset-liability management; liquidity management; investment activities (including derivatives); model risk management; portfolio diversification; underwriting and loss mitigation; technology, data and cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence risks; business acquisitions and dispositions; operational risk assessment capabilities; and overall operational risk management. For additional information regarding cybersecurity risk management, see “Item 1C—Cybersecurity.”

We have identified the following as the most significant risk types to our business: credit risk, market risk, insurance risk, housing risk, operational risk, model risk, and technology, data and cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence risk. In addition, we have processes in place to identify, understand and manage emerging risks, with the goal of mitigating adverse impacts to our business and to enhance decision making. We regularly report both our top and selected emerging risks to senior management and the risk committee of Genworth Financial’s Board of Directors. Our risk management framework includes seven key components: risk type key attributes; risk exposures; business strategy and planning; governance; risk assessment (both qualitative and quantitative); risk appetite and limits; and stress testing. Our risk management framework also includes the ongoing management, monitoring and reporting of material risks.

Our Closed Block business continues to pursue significant premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions on its long-term care insurance in-force. In support of this initiative, we have developed processes that include experience studies to analyze emerging experience, reviews of in-force product performance, an assumption review process, and comprehensive monitoring and reporting. In connection with these processes, our risk management team works closely with our Closed Block business to ensure proper governance and to better align the development of assumptions with the identified risks.

As part of our evaluation of overall in-force product performance, new product initiatives and service offerings, and risk mitigation alternatives, we monitor regulatory and rating agency capital models as well as internal economic capital models to determine the appropriate level of risk-adjusted capital requirements. We utilize a stress testing framework to assess the risk of loss to our capital resources based upon the portfolio of risks we underwrite and retain and upon our asset and operational risk profiles. Our commitment to risk management involves the ongoing review and expansion of internal risk management capabilities aligned with industry best practices.

Operations and Technology

Service and support

Enact Holdings and its U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries have introduced technology enabled services to help their customers (lenders and servicers) as well as consumers (borrowers and homeowners). Enact Holdings relies heavily upon technology, and a number of critical aspects are highly automated. Our legacy insurance subsidiaries and CareScout Insurance Company also rely heavily upon technology to support and improve their overall operations. Our insurance

Table of Contents

subsidiaries accept insurance applications, issue approvals, process claims and reconcile premium remittance through electronic submissions. For Enact Holdings, in order to facilitate these processes, direct connections have been established with many of its customers’ and servicers’ systems to enable the selection of its mortgage insurance products and to allow for direct communication. Our insurance subsidiaries also provide their customers secure access to their web-based portals to facilitate transactions and provide customers with access to their account information. Our insurance subsidiaries regularly upgrade and enhance their systems and technology in an effort to achieve their goals of expanding their capabilities, improve productivity and enhance the customer experience. In addition, we are investing in and exploring the use of artificial intelligence with an initial focus on enabling better productivity and efficiency for all of our employees, as well as improving the speed and effectiveness of our operations and in serving our customers.

Operating centers

We have established scalable, efficient operating centers for our legacy insurance subsidiaries and CareScout Insurance Company in Virginia and for Enact Holdings in North Carolina. In addition, through an arrangement with an outsourcing provider, we have a team of professionals in India and the Philippines who provide a variety of services primarily to our legacy insurance subsidiaries and certain corporate functions, including data entry, transaction processing and functional support.

In June 2022, we outsourced operational servicing of our life insurance and fixed annuity blocks to a third-party servicer. In connection with the outsourcing, we are converting certain administrative systems to those used by the third-party servicer over the next few years. In 2024, we completed the first phase of the conversion for our term and whole life insurance products. There was no impact to the servicing of our long-term care insurance products because they were not a part of the third-party outsourcing agreement.

Reinsurance

We reinsure a portion of our annuities and our life, long-term care and mortgage insurance with unaffiliated reinsurers. In a reinsurance transaction, a reinsurer agrees to indemnify another insurer for part or all of its liability under a policy or policies it has issued for an agreed upon premium. We participate in reinsurance activities in order to minimize exposure to significant risks, limit losses and provide additional capacity for future growth. We also obtain reinsurance to reduce certain capital requirements, including sometimes utilizing intercompany reinsurance agreements to manage our statutory capital positions. However, these intercompany agreements do not have an effect on our consolidated U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) financial statements as they eliminate in consolidation.

We enter into various agreements with reinsurers that cover individual risks, group risks or defined blocks of business, primarily on a coinsurance, yearly renewable term, excess of loss or quota share basis. Under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, the reinsurer agrees to reimburse us for the ceded amount in the event a claim is paid. Cessions under reinsurance agreements do not discharge our obligations as the primary insurer. In the event that reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, reinsurance recoverable balances could become uncollectible. Our amounts recoverable from reinsurers represent receivables from and/or reserves ceded to reinsurers. The amounts recoverable from reinsurers, net of allowance for credit losses, were $17.8 billion and $17.6 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We focus on obtaining reinsurance from a diverse group of highly rated reinsurers. We regularly evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentration risk with our reinsurers at least annually.

Closed Block

Our legacy insurance subsidiaries have established standards and criteria for our use and selection of reinsurers. In order for a new reinsurer to participate in our current program, without collateralization, we require the reinsurer to have a S&P Global Rating (“S&P”) rating of “A-” or better or a Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) rating of “A3” or better and a minimum capital and surplus level of $350 million. If the reinsurer does not have these ratings, our legacy insurance subsidiaries generally require it to post collateral as described below. In addition, our legacy insurance subsidiaries may require collateral from a reinsurer to mitigate credit/collectability risk. Typically, in such cases, the reinsurer must either maintain minimum specified ratings and risk-based capital (“RBC”) ratios or provide the specified quality and quantity of collateral. Similarly, our legacy insurance subsidiaries have also required collateral in connection with books of business sold pursuant to indemnity reinsurance agreements.

Table of Contents

Reinsurers that are not licensed, accredited or authorized in the state of domicile of the reinsured (“ceding company”) are required to post statutorily prescribed forms of collateral for the ceding company to receive reinsurance credit. The three primary forms of collateral are: (i) qualifying assets held in a reserve credit trust; (ii) irrevocable, unconditional, evergreen letters of credit issued by a qualified U.S. financial institution; and (iii) assets held by the ceding company in a segregated funds withheld account. Collateral must be maintained in accordance with the rules of the ceding company’s state of domicile and must be readily accessible by the ceding company to cover claims under the reinsurance agreement. Accordingly, our legacy insurance subsidiaries require unauthorized reinsurers that are not so licensed, accredited or authorized to post acceptable forms of collateral to support their reinsurance obligations.

The following table sets forth our exposure, represented by the amount of reinsurance recoverable measured at the locked-in discount rate owed by the principal reinsurers to our legacy insurance subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025:


(Amounts in millions)	Reinsurance recoverable
UFLIC (1)	$	12,592
RGA Reinsurance Company	2,629
General Reinsurance Corporation	711
Riversource Life Insurance Company	306
SCOR Global Life USA Reinsurance Company	275

______________________

(1)We have several significant reinsurance transactions with Union Fidelity Life Insurance Company (“UFLIC”), an affiliate of General Electric Company, which now operates as GE Aerospace (“GE”), which results in a significant concentration of reinsurance risk. UFLIC’s obligations to us are secured by trust accounts. See note 7 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional details.

External new business reinsurance is dependent on a number of factors, including price, availability, risk tolerance and capital levels. For additional information on our reinsurance agreements and the associated risks and impacts on our business, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Reinsurance may not be available, affordable or adequate to protect us against losses.”

Enact

Enact Holdings, through EMICO, cedes a portion of its mortgage insurance risk to reduce the risk of loss and to obtain capital credit towards the financial requirements of the GSEs’ PMIERs. Enact Holdings’ credit risk transfer program distributes risk to highly rated counterparties through its traditional reinsurance program, as well as to insurance-linked note investors via fully collateralized special purpose reinsurance vehicles. Its traditional reinsurance program utilizes excess of loss and quota share insurance coverage. Enact Holdings’ excess of loss reinsurance transactions generally cover a subset of loans in a given book year where typically both the attachment and detachment points of the ceded risk tier are within the PMIERs capital requirements at inception, providing both loss volatility protection and PMIERs capital credit. Each reinsurance treaty has a term of ten years or more and provides a unilateral right to commute prior to the full term, subject to certain performance triggers. Enact Holdings selects the type and structure of the credit risk transfer transactions based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, capacity, cost, flexibility, sustainability and diversification. Under Enact Holdings’ quota share reinsurance agreements, the reinsurer receives a premium in exchange for covering an agreed-upon portion of incurred losses.

Enact Holdings’ traditional reinsurance coverage is provided by a panel of reinsurance partners each currently rated “A-” or better by S&P or A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”), or rated “A3” or better by Moody’s. These reinsurers are contractually required to collateralize a portion (typically 20% to 30%) of the reinsurance exposures consistent with PMIERs.

For additional information related to reinsurance, including reinsurance provided by Enact Re, see “—Business—Enact Segment” and note 7 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Ratings

Financial strength ratings

Ratings with respect to the financial strength of operating subsidiaries are an important factor in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies. Ratings are important to maintaining public confidence in us and our ability to market our products. Rating organizations review the financial performance and condition of most insurers and provide opinions regarding financial strength, operating performance and ability to meet obligations to policyholders.

As of February 24, 2026, EMICO was rated in terms of financial strength as follows:


Rating Agency	Rating	Rating categories
S&P	A- (7th highest of 21)	AAA to D
Moody’s	A2 (6th highest of 21)	Aaa to C
Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”)	A (6th highest of 21)	AAA to C
A.M. Best	A- (4th highest of 13)	A++ to D

As of February 24, 2026, our principal legacy insurance subsidiaries were rated in terms of financial strength by A.M. Best as follows:


Company			A.M. Best rating
Genworth Life Insurance Company			C++ (9th highest of 13)
Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company (“GLAIC”)			B- (8th highest of 13)
Genworth Life Insurance Company of New York (“GLICNY”)			C++ (9th highest of 13)

The financial strength ratings of our operating companies are not designed to be, and do not serve as, measures of protection or valuation offered to investors. These financial strength ratings should not be relied on with respect to making an investment in our securities.

Credit ratings

In addition to the financial strength ratings for our operating subsidiaries, rating agencies also assign credit ratings to the debt issued by our intermediate holding company, Genworth Holdings. In addition, S&P and A.M. Best assign credit ratings to Genworth Financial. These ratings are typically notched lower than the financial strength ratings of our primary operating subsidiaries, reflecting Genworth Holdings’ reliance on dividends from the operating subsidiaries to service its debt obligations. The unsecured debt ratings may be used in evaluating Genworth Holdings’ debt as a fixed-income investment and are only disclosed by us given their potential impact on our business, including their potential to affect, among other things, our ability to raise capital through the issuance of debt and other forms of credit. These credit ratings may change at any time and should not be relied on as a recommendation with respect to making an investment in our securities.

As of February 24, 2026, the issuer credit ratings of Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings were as follows:

Company

S&P rating

Moody’s rating(1)

A.M. Best rating

•On September 18, 2025, A.M. Best revised the outlook to positive from stable and affirmed the financial strength rating of “A-” of EMICO.

Table of Contents

•On September 17, 2025, A.M. Best revised the outlook to positive from stable and affirmed the financial strength rating of “C++” of GLIC and GLICNY. A.M. Best also affirmed the financial strength rating of “B-” of GLAIC and the credit rating of “bb-” of Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings with an outlook of stable.

•On August 6, 2025, Moody’s upgraded the credit rating of Genworth Holdings’ senior unsecured debt to “Baa3” from “Ba1” and upgraded the financial strength rating of EMICO to “A2” from “A3,” both with an outlook of stable.

•On January 17, 2025, Fitch upgraded the financial strength rating of EMICO to “A” from “A-” with an outlook of stable.

S&P, Moody’s, Fitch, and A.M. Best review their ratings periodically and we cannot assure you that we will maintain our current ratings in the future. These and other agencies may also rate our holding companies or insurance subsidiaries on a solicited or an unsolicited basis. We do not provide non-public information to agencies issuing unsolicited ratings and cannot ensure that any agencies that rate our holding companies or insurance subsidiaries on an unsolicited basis will continue to do so.

For information on adverse credit rating actions related to Genworth and the potential impact of credit ratings on our business, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Adverse rating agency actions have in the past resulted in a loss of business and adversely affected our results of operations, financial condition and business, and future adverse rating actions could have a further and more significant adverse impact on us.”

Investments

Under the direction of our Chief Investment Officer, our investments department is responsible for managing the assets in our various portfolios, including establishing investment and derivatives policies and strategies, reviewing asset-liability management, performing asset allocations and setting risk limits. We manage our assets to meet diversification, credit quality, yield and liquidity requirements of our policy and contract liabilities by investing primarily in fixed maturity securities, including government, municipal and corporate bonds and mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. We also hold commercial mortgage loans, limited partnerships, equity securities and other invested assets, which include derivatives, bank loans, corporate-owned life insurance and short-term investments. Investments for our insurance subsidiaries are required to comply with our risk management requirements, as well as applicable insurance laws and regulations. Investment strategies, policy and risk management are closely monitored by Genworth Financial’s management investment committee and the risk committee of Genworth Financial’s Board of Directors.

Our primary investment objective is to meet our obligations to policyholders and contractholders while increasing value to our stockholders by investing in a diversified, high-quality portfolio, comprised primarily of income producing securities and other assets. Our investment strategy focuses on:

•managing interest rate risk, as appropriate, through monitoring asset durations relative to policyholder and contractholder obligations;

•selecting assets based on fundamental, research-driven strategies;

•emphasizing fixed-income, low-volatility assets while pursuing active strategies to enhance yield;

•maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet financial obligations;

•regularly evaluating our asset class mix and pursuing additional investment classes when prudent; and

•continuously monitoring asset quality and market conditions that could affect our assets.

For further information related to our invested assets, see “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Investments and Derivative Instruments” and notes 4, 5 and 19 to our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Regulation

General

Our insurance operations are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations. U.S. state insurance laws and regulations (“Insurance Laws”) regulate most aspects of our U.S. insurance businesses, and our U.S. insurers are regulated

Table of Contents

by the insurance departments of the states in which they are domiciled and licensed. Our non-U.S. insurance operations are principally regulated by insurance regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which they are domiciled. Our insurance products and businesses are also affected by U.S. federal, state and local tax laws, and the tax laws of non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our securities operations, including our insurance products that are regulated as securities, such as variable annuities, are subject to U.S. federal and state securities laws and regulations. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, state securities authorities and similar non-U.S. authorities regulate and supervise these products.

The primary purpose of the Insurance Laws regulating our insurance businesses and their equivalents in the other countries in which we operate, and the securities laws affecting certain of our products and our broker-dealer, is to protect our policyholders, contractholders and clients. These laws and regulations are regularly re-examined and any changes to these laws or new laws may be more restrictive or otherwise adversely affect our operations.

Insurance and securities regulatory authorities (including state law enforcement agencies and attorneys general or their non-U.S. equivalents) periodically make inquiries regarding compliance with insurance, securities and other laws and regulations, and we cooperate with such inquiries and take corrective action when warranted.

U.S. Insurance Regulation

Our U.S. insurers are licensed and regulated in all jurisdictions in which they conduct insurance business. The extent of this regulation varies but Insurance Laws generally govern the financial condition of insurers, including standards for solvency, types and concentrations of permissible investments, establishment and maintenance of reserves, credit for reinsurance and capital adequacy requirements. Insurance Laws also govern the business conduct of insurers, including marketplace activities, affecting the form and content of disclosure to consumers, product illustrations, advertising, product replacement, sales and underwriting practices, and complaint and claims handling, and these provisions are generally enforced through periodic market conduct examinations. In addition, Insurance Laws usually require the licensing of insurers and agents, the filing or approval of policy forms and related materials prior to their use, and approval of premium rates for certain lines of insurance.

Our U.S. insurers must file periodic reports, including detailed annual financial statements, with insurance regulatory authorities in each jurisdiction in which they do business, and their operations and accounts are subject to periodic examination by such authorities. Insurance departments in U.S. jurisdictions conduct periodic detailed examinations of the books, records, accounts and business practices of domestic insurers. These examinations generally are conducted in cooperation with insurance departments of two or three other states or jurisdictions representing each of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) zones, under guidelines promulgated by the NAIC. State insurance departments may also conduct examinations of non-domiciliary insurers licensed in their states.

Applicable Insurance Laws are described below. Certain additional Insurance Laws specific to mortgage insurers are discussed below under “—Enact—Mortgage Insurance Regulation.”

Insurance holding company regulation

Our principal U.S. insurance subsidiaries are domiciled in Delaware, New York, North Carolina and Virginia and are required to register as members of an insurance holding company system under their domiciliary state’s insurance holding company act (except for our captive insurers). They are also required to submit annual reports to the state insurance regulatory authority identifying the members of the insurance holding company system and describing certain transactions between the insurer and any member of its insurance group that may materially affect the operations, management or financial condition of the insurers within the system. All transactions between an insurer and an affiliate must be fair and reasonable, and certain transactions are subject to prior approval by the domiciliary state insurance regulator. In addition, most states have adopted insurance regulations setting forth detailed requirements for cost sharing and management agreements between an insurer and its affiliates.

Our U.S. insurers’ ability to pay dividends or other distributions is regulated by their domiciliary state insurance regulators. Our principal U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries may pay dividends only from unassigned surplus; payments made from other sources, such as paid-in and contributed surplus, are categorized as distributions. Notice of all dividends or distributions must be submitted to the commissioner within five business days after declaration, and at least 30 days before payment thereof. No dividend may be paid unless the commissioner has not disapproved or has approved the payment within that 30-day period. Any distribution, regardless of amount, requires the commissioner’s affirmative

Table of Contents

approval before being paid. Under the insurance laws of North Carolina (our mortgage insurance subsidiaries’ primary state of domicile), an “extraordinary” dividend or distribution is defined as a dividend or distribution that, together with other dividends and distributions made within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the greater of: (i) 10% of the insurer’s statutory surplus as of the immediately prior year end; or (ii) the statutory net income during the prior calendar year. We manage our legacy insurance subsidiaries on a standalone basis, and accordingly, we do not expect to receive dividends or other capital returns from them.

In addition, insurance regulators may prohibit the payment of ordinary dividends and distributions or other payments by our insurers to group affiliates (such as a payment under a tax sharing agreement or for employment or other services) if they determine that such payment could be adverse to policyholders or contractholders.

Acquisition or change of control of a U.S. insurer requires the prior approval of the insurer’s domiciliary state insurance regulator. The domiciliary states of our U.S. insurers also require prior notice of a divestiture of control. Control is generally presumed to exist if any person, directly or indirectly, owns, controls, holds with the power to vote, or holds proxies representing 10% or more of the voting securities of the insurer or any parent company of the insurer. Certain state provisions may not require acquisition approval but can lead to imposition of conditions on an acquisition that could delay or prevent its consummation. Such laws may discourage potential acquisition proposals and may delay, deter or prevent an investment in or a change of control involving us, or one or more of our regulated subsidiaries, including transactions that our management and some or all of our stockholders might consider desirable.

The NAIC Risk Management and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (“ORSA”) Model Act requires an insurer to regularly, and at least annually, undertake a confidential internal assessment of material and relevant risks and, upon an insurance regulator’s request, submit a confidential, high-level summary assessment of the material and relevant risks associated with an insurer or insurance group’s current business plan and the sufficiency of capital and liquidity resources to support those risks. We file an ORSA summary report annually with Virginia, our lead domiciliary state.

The NAIC Corporate Governance Annual Disclosure Model Act and Corporate Governance Annual Disclosure Model Regulation require insurers to provide detailed information regarding their corporate governance practices to their lead state and/or domestic regulator.

The NAIC implemented a regulatory framework through Actuarial Guideline 48 (“AG 48”) applicable to the use of captive insurers in connection with Regulation XXX and Regulation AXXX transactions. Among other things, the framework calls for more disclosure of an insurer’s use of captives in its statutory financial statements and narrows the types of assets permitted to back statutory reserves that are required to support the insurer’s future obligations. AG 48 requires the actuary of the ceding insurer that opines on the insurer’s reserves to issue a qualified opinion if the framework is not followed. The NAIC adopted an amended version of AG 48, which applies to new policies issued and new reinsurance transactions entered into on or after January 1, 2017. AG 48 does not affect reinsurance arrangements that were pre-existing as of January 1, 2015, and the changes set forth in the amended version do not affect reinsurance arrangements that were pre-existing as of January 1, 2017. The NAIC also adopted the Term and Universal Life Insurance Reserve Financing Model Regulation, which contains the same substantive requirements as the amended version of AG 48. States must either adopt the model regulation or use AG 48 to satisfy the NAIC accreditation requirement. Virginia, the domestic state regulator for GLAIC, one of our principal life insurance subsidiaries, has adopted the model regulation.

The NAIC has developed and implemented a group capital calculation (“GCC”) tool using an RBC aggregation methodology for all entities within the insurance holding company system, including non-U.S. entities. The GCC provides regulators with an additional tool for conducting group-wide supervision and enhances transparency into how capital is allocated. We submit the required GCC filing annually to Virginia, our insurance holding company group’s lead state. It is unclear how the development of group capital measures by the NAIC will interact with existing capital requirements for U.S. insurance companies.

Long-term care insurance rate increase regulation

In general, we implement rate increases on our long-term care insurance policies in accordance with the laws of the state in which a policy was issued. In April 2022, the NAIC adopted the Long-Term Care Insurance Multistate Rate Review Framework, which was designed to define a consistent national approach for reviewing rate increase requests that results in actuarially appropriate increases being granted by the states in a timely manner and that eliminates cross-state rate subsidization. In 2025, the NAIC adopted amendments to the framework that include (i) a change from two actuarial rate review methodologies to a single one to be used for multistate long-term care insurance rate increase reviews and (ii) a

Table of Contents

revised cost-sharing formula that addresses how insurers and policyholders share the burden of rate increases. The amendments also moved governance of the rate review process to the Health Actuarial (B) Task Force, and other related work, such as reduced benefit options, to the Senior Issues (B) Task Force. We continue to work closely with state regulators on our in-force long-term care insurance rate action plan (including increased premiums and associated benefit reductions) to achieve a shared goal of ensuring that our legacy insurance subsidiaries can honor their policyholder commitments in the future. We will continue to seek rate increases primarily through individual state approval processes but will consider opportunities to leverage the NAIC’s efforts for a national approach in cases where it will support our existing rate action plans.

Guaranty associations and similar arrangements

Most jurisdictions in which our U.S. insurers are licensed require those insurers to participate in guaranty associations which pay contractual benefits owed under the policies of impaired or insolvent insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on each member insurer in a jurisdiction based on the proportionate share of the premiums written by such insurer in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer is engaged. Some jurisdictions permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets.

Aggregate assessments levied against our U.S. insurers were not significant to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Policy and contract reserve sufficiency analysis

The Insurance Laws of our U.S. life insurers’ domiciliary jurisdictions require each such insurer to conduct an annual analysis of the sufficiency of its life and health insurance and annuity reserves. Other jurisdictions where insurers are licensed may have certain reserve requirements that differ from those of their domiciliary jurisdictions. In each case, a qualified actuary must submit an opinion stating that the aggregate statutory reserves, when considered in light of the assets held with respect to such reserves, make good and sufficient provision for the insurer’s associated contractual obligations and related expenses. If such an opinion cannot be provided, the insurer must establish additional reserves by transferring funds from surplus. Our U.S. life insurers submit these opinions annually to their insurance regulatory authorities, and each year they conduct a statutory cash flow testing process to support these opinions. Different reserve requirements exist for our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries. See “—Enact—Mortgage Insurance Regulation—State regulation—Reserves.”

Surplus and capital requirements

Insurance regulators have discretionary authority, in connection with the licensing of our U.S. insurers, to limit or restrict insurers from issuing new policies, or policies having a dollar value over certain thresholds, if, in the regulators’ judgment, the insurer is not maintaining a sufficient amount of surplus or is in a hazardous financial condition. We seek to maintain capital management and new business strategies to support meeting related regulatory requirements.

Risk-based capital standards

The NAIC has established RBC standards for U.S. life insurers, as well as a Risk-Based Capital for Insurers Model Act (“RBC Model Act”). All 50 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the RBC Model Act or a substantially similar law or regulation. The RBC Model Act requires that life insurers annually submit a report to state regulators regarding their RBC based upon four categories of risk: asset risk, insurance risk, interest rate risk and business risk. The capital requirement for each is generally determined by applying factors which vary based upon the degree of risk to various asset, premium and reserve items. The formula is an early warning tool to identify potentially weakly capitalized companies for purposes of facilitating regulatory action.

The extent of regulatory action is determined by a ratio of a company’s total adjusted capital (“TAC”) to its authorized control level RBC (“ACL RBC”). The minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences (“Company Action Level”) is two times the ACL RBC or three times the ACL RBC with a negative trend. If an insurer’s ACL RBC ratio falls below specified levels, it would be subject to different degrees of regulatory action depending upon the level, ranging from requiring the insurer to propose actions to correct the capital deficiency to placing the insurer under regulatory control. Our legacy insurance subsidiaries’ reported RBC ratio measures the ratio of TAC to our Company Action Level.

Formed in early 2025, the Risk-Based Capital Model Governance (EX) Task Force (“RBC Task Force”) is charged with a number of tasks related to the oversight and governance of the RBC framework and in December 2025 adopted guiding principles which address the purpose and use of, and standards for maintaining and updating, RBC. In 2026, the RBC Task Force is also undertaking to identify gaps in the RBC framework that could pose a risk to regulators’ assessment of solvency and developing a governance process for retrospective and future adjustments to RBC.

As of December 31, 2025, the RBC ratio of each of our U.S. life insurance subsidiaries exceeded the level that would require any of them to take or become subject to any corrective action in their respective domiciliary state. For additional information on the RBC of our legacy insurance subsidiaries, see note 20 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Statutory accounting principles

U.S. insurance regulators developed statutory accounting principles (“SAP”) as a basis of accounting used to monitor and regulate the solvency of insurers. Since insurance regulators are primarily concerned with ensuring an insurer’s ability to pay its current and future obligations to policyholders, statutory accounting conservatively values the assets and liabilities of insurers, generally in accordance with standards specified by the insurer’s domiciliary jurisdiction. Uniform statutory accounting practices are established by the NAIC and are generally adopted by regulators in the various U.S. jurisdictions.

Due to differences in methodology between SAP and U.S. GAAP, the values for assets, liabilities and equity reflected in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are materially different from those reflected in financial statements prepared under SAP.

In December 2025, the NAIC adopted an amendment to the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual which requires combining reinsurance contracts that include both yearly renewable term reinsurance and coinsurance portions to be evaluated for risk transfer on an overall basis (as well as for each component individually). This amendment is effective immediately for new and amended contracts, and subject to reporting on or before December 31, 2026 for existing contracts. We have one reinsurance contract to which this would apply and are actively working to restructure the agreement to comply with this amendment on or before December 31, 2026.

Regulation of investments

Each of our U.S. insurers is subject to Insurance Laws that require diversification of its investment portfolio and limit the proportion of investments in different asset categories. Assets invested contrary to such regulatory limitations must be treated as non-admitted assets for purposes of measuring surplus, and in some instances, regulations require divestiture of such non-complying investments. We believe the investments made by our U.S. insurers comply with these Insurance Laws.

Enact—Mortgage Insurance Regulation

State regulation

General

Mortgage insurers generally are limited by Insurance Laws to directly writing only mortgage guaranty insurance business to the exclusion of other types of insurance. Mortgage insurers are not subject to the NAIC’s RBC requirements, but certain states and other regulators impose another form of capital requirement on mortgage insurers, requiring maintenance of a risk-to-capital ratio not to exceed 25:1. Each of Enact Holdings’ mortgage insurance subsidiaries met its capital requirements as of December 31, 2025. See note 20 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information.

The North Carolina Department of Insurance’s (“NCDOI”) current regulatory framework by which EMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio is calculated differs from the capital requirements of the GSEs as discussed under “—Other U.S. regulation and agency qualification requirements.”

In August 2023, the NAIC adopted amendments to the Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Model Act (the “MGI Model Act”) and is in the process of making conforming revisions to Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 58—Mortgage Guaranty Insurance. The revisions to the MGI Model Act are extensive, including with respect to risk

Table of Contents

concentration limits, capital and reserve requirements, reinsurance, underwriting practices and quality assurance. For a discussion of the potential risks to our business associated with these amendments, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Enact Holdings’ U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries are subject to minimum statutory capital requirements, which if not met or waived, would result in restrictions or prohibitions on them doing business and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

Reserves

Insurance Laws require our U.S. mortgage insurers to establish a special statutory contingency reserve reflected in their statutory financial statements to provide for claims and other expenses payable in the event of significant economic declines. Annual additions to the statutory contingency reserve must be at least 50% of net earned premiums as defined by Insurance Laws. These contingency reserves generally are held until the earlier of (i) 10 years, after which such amounts can be released into surplus, or (ii) when loss ratios exceed 35%, in which case the amount above 35% can be released under certain circumstances, although regulators have granted discretionary releases from time to time. However, approval by the NCDOI, the primary domiciliary regulator for our U.S. mortgage insurers, is required for contingency reserve releases when loss ratios exceed 35%. The establishment of the statutory contingency reserve is funded by premiums that would otherwise generate net earnings that would be reflected in policyholder surplus. This reduces the policyholder surplus of our U.S. mortgage insurers, and therefore, their ability to pay dividends to our holding companies until those contingency reserves are released back into surplus. See note 20 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for information on the statutory contingency reserve for our U.S. mortgage insurers.

Premium rates

In most states where our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries are licensed, premium rates are required to be filed before the authorization is granted to charge premiums. In some states, these premium rates must be approved before their use. Likewise, changes in premium rates must be filed and receive approval. In general, states may require actuarial justification on the basis of the insurer’s loss experience, expenses and future projections. In addition, states may consider general default experience in the mortgage insurance industry in assessing the premium rates charged by U.S. mortgage insurers.

Federal regulation

In addition to federal laws directly applicable to mortgage insurers, the laws and regulations applicable to mortgage originators and lenders, purchasers of mortgage loans such as the GSEs, and governmental insurers such as the FHA and VA indirectly affect mortgage insurers. Moreover, mortgage origination and servicing transactions are subject to compliance with various state and federal laws. Changes in federal housing legislation and other laws and regulations that affect the demand for private mortgage insurance, or the way in which such laws and regulations are interpreted or applied, may have a material effect on private mortgage insurers. For example, the Enterprise Capital Framework of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) that became effective in 2021 includes significantly higher regulatory capital requirements for the GSEs as compared to the previous framework. Higher GSE capital requirements could ultimately lead to increased costs to borrowers of GSE loans, which in turn could shift the market away from the GSEs to the FHA or lender portfolios. Such a shift could result in a smaller market for private mortgage insurance. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Changes to the charters or practices of the GSEs, including actions or decisions to decrease or discontinue the use of mortgage insurance, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

The Homeowners Protection Act of 1998 (“HOPA”) provides for the automatic termination, or cancellation upon a borrower’s request, of the borrower’s obligation to pay for private mortgage insurance upon satisfaction of certain conditions. HOPA applies to owner-occupied residential mortgage loans regardless of lien priority and to borrower-paid mortgage insurance closed after July 29, 1999. HOPA requires lenders to automatically terminate a borrower’s obligation to pay for mortgage insurance coverage once the loan-to-value ratio reaches 78% of the original value. A borrower generally may also request cancellation of mortgage insurance from the lender once the actual payments reduce the loan balance to 80% of the home’s original value. For borrower-initiated cancellation of mortgage insurance, the borrower must have a “good payment history” as defined by HOPA.

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974 (“RESPA”) applies to most residential mortgages insured by private mortgage insurers. Mortgage insurance is considered a “settlement service” for purposes of loans subject to RESPA. Subject to limited exceptions, RESPA precludes our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries from providing services

Table of Contents

to mortgage lenders or other settlement service providers free of charge, charging fees for services that are lower than their reasonable or fair market value, and paying fees for services that others provide that are higher than their reasonable or fair market value. In addition, RESPA prohibits persons from giving or accepting any portion or percentage of a charge for a real estate settlement service, other than for services actually performed. Although many states prohibit mortgage insurers from giving rebates, RESPA has been interpreted to cover many non-fee services as well. Mortgage insurers and their customers are subject to the potential sanctions of this law, which may be enforced by the CFPB, state insurance departments, state attorneys general and other enforcement authorities.

The Fair Housing Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) also affect the business of mortgage insurance in various ways. The Fair Housing Act generally prohibits discrimination in the terms, conditions or privileges in residential real estate-related transactions on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, familial status or national origin. Numerous courts have held that the Fair Housing Act prohibits discriminatory insurance practices. FCRA governs the access and use of consumer credit information in credit transactions and requires notices to consumers in certain circumstances. It imposes restrictions on the permissible use of credit report information and requires mortgage insurance companies to provide adverse action notices to consumers in the event an application for mortgage insurance is declined or offered at less than the best available rate for the loan program applied for due to information contained in a consumer’s credit report.

Other U.S. regulation and agency qualification requirements

The GSEs impose eligibility requirements that private mortgage insurers must satisfy in order to be approved to insure loans purchased by the GSEs. PMIERs aims to ensure that approved insurers possess the financial and operational capacity to serve as strong counterparties to the GSEs throughout various market conditions. PMIERs is comprehensive, covering virtually all aspects of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries’ business and operations as private mortgage insurers of GSE loans, including internal risk management and quality controls, underwriting, claim processing and loss mitigation, among other aspects. In addition, PMIERs requires private mortgage insurers to obtain the prior consent of the GSEs before taking certain actions, which may include entering into various intercompany agreements and commuting or reinsuring risk, among others. The financial requirements of PMIERs mandate that a mortgage insurer’s “Available Assets” (generally only the most liquid assets of an insurer) must meet or exceed “Minimum Required Assets” (which are based on an insurer’s risk in-force, are calculated from tables of factors with several risk dimensions and are subject to a floor amount).

In their respective letters approving credit for reinsurance against PMIERs financial requirements, the GSEs require our principal U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiary not to exceed a maximum statutory risk-to-capital ratio of 18:1 or they reserve the right to re-evaluate the amount of PMIERs credit indicated in their approval letters. Freddie Mac has also imposed additional requirements on our option to commute these reinsurance agreements. Both GSEs reserved the right to periodically review the reinsurance transactions for treatment under PMIERs.

On August 21, 2024, the GSEs and the FHFA released updated PMIERs requirements phasing in a revision to the available assets standards between March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026. The updated standards differentiate between bonds held as available assets under PMIERs based on credit quality and liquidity. The updates also established limits for assets backed by residential mortgages or commercial real estate to mitigate the impact if such assets lose value during periods of housing stress. Enact expects to hold capital sufficiency well in excess of these requirements and does not expect the impact of these updates to be material to its sufficiency. The ultimate impact of the PMIERs changes will be influenced by investment portfolio maturities, dispositions, reinvestments, and overall business and economic performance through the phase-in dates.

Each approved mortgage insurer is required to provide the GSEs with an annual certification and a quarterly report as to its compliance with PMIERs. As of December 31, 2025, Enact met the PMIERs financial and operational requirements. See note 20 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Although we expect Enact will continue to retain its eligibility status with the GSEs, there can be no assurance these conditions will continue. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—If Enact is unable to continue to meet the requirements mandated by PMIERs because the GSEs amend them or the GSEs’ interpretation of the financial requirements requires Enact to hold amounts of capital that are higher than planned or otherwise, Enact may not be eligible to write new insurance on loans acquired by the GSEs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.”

Non-U.S. Insurance Regulation

We operate in and have certain subsidiaries domiciled in countries outside the United States, principally including Mexico, Bermuda and India. Generally, our subsidiaries conducting business in these countries must obtain licenses from local regulatory authorities and satisfy local regulatory requirements, including those relating to rates, forms, capital, reserves and financial reporting, as well as certain restrictions on their ability to pay dividends and distributions.

Other Laws and Regulations

Changes in tax laws

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes certain tax provisions, was signed into law. Effective January 1, 2025, the Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Act of 2023 imposed a new 15% corporate income tax on in-scope entities that are resident in Bermuda or have a Bermuda permanent establishment, without regard to any assurances that had previously been given pursuant to the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966. Neither of these tax enactments had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. There was no other U.S. federal income tax-related legislation or administrative guidance issued in 2025 or 2024 that had a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Dodd-Frank Act and other federal initiatives

Although the federal government generally does not directly regulate the insurance business, federal initiatives often have an impact on the business in a variety of ways, including through regulation of financial services. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) made extensive changes to the laws regulating financial services firms and required various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of rules and regulations.

In the case of Enact Holdings, the Dodd-Frank Act prohibits a creditor from making a residential mortgage loan unless the creditor makes a reasonable and good faith determination that, at the time the loan is consummated, the consumer has a reasonable ability to repay the loan. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act created the CFPB, which regulates certain aspects of the offering and provision of consumer financial products or services but not the business of insurance. Certain rules and regulations established by the CFPB require mortgage lenders to demonstrate that they have effectively considered the consumer’s ability to repay a mortgage loan, establish when a mortgage may be classified as a Qualified Mortgage (“QM”) and determine when a lender is eligible for a safe harbor as a presumption that the lender has complied with the ability-to-repay requirements.

The Financial Stability Oversight Council (“FSOC”) is authorized to designate certain financial companies, which may include insurance companies, as non-bank systemically important financial institutions (“SIFIs”). The FSOC is authorized to subject SIFIs to stricter prudential standards, including a special orderly liquidation process outside the federal Bankruptcy Code, among other requirements. On November 3, 2023, the FSOC adopted new guidance that no longer requires the FSOC to conduct a cost-benefit analysis and assessment of the likelihood of a non-bank financial company’s material financial distress before designating the company as a non-bank SIFI. The new guidance could have the effect of simplifying and shortening the FSOC’s procedures for designating certain financial companies as non-bank SIFIs. We have not been, nor do we believe we will be, designated as a non-bank SIFI by the FSOC. A future determination that we or our counterparties are systemically important could impose significant burdens on us, impact the way we conduct our business, increase compliance costs, duplicate state regulation and result in a competitive disadvantage.

The Dodd-Frank Act established a Federal Insurance Office (“FIO”) within the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury Department”). While not having a general supervisory or regulatory authority over the business of insurance, the director of this office performs various functions with respect to insurance, including serving as a non-voting member of the FSOC and making recommendations to the FSOC regarding insurers to be designated for more stringent regulation.

The Dodd-Frank Act established a framework of regulation of over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives markets which requires us to pledge highly liquid securities or cash to meet initial and variation margin requirements for most interest rate derivatives we trade. In addition, federal bank regulations require certain bank-regulated counterparties to include in certain derivatives contracts terms that delay or restrict the rights of counterparties, which could adversely affect our ability to terminate, or realize amounts to be received under, such derivatives agreements. As the marketplace continues to evolve,

Table of Contents

we may have to alter or limit the way we use derivatives in the future, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

On December 13, 2023, the SEC adopted rules to require covered clearing agencies that provide central counterparty services for U.S. Treasury securities to have policies and procedures reasonably designed to require every direct participant of the agency to submit for clearance and settlement all eligible secondary market transactions in U.S. Treasury securities. On February 25, 2025, the SEC extended the rule’s compliance dates by one year to December 31, 2026 for eligible cash market transactions and June 30, 2027 for eligible repurchase market transactions. The rule’s potential effect on the U.S. Treasury securities markets is uncertain.

We cannot predict the effect of all the regulations adopted under the Dodd-Frank Act or other federal statutes on financial markets generally, or on our businesses specifically, the additional costs associated with compliance with such regulations, or any changes to our operations that may be necessary to comply with the Dodd-Frank Act or other federal statutes and the regulations thereunder, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. We also cannot predict whether other federal initiatives will be adopted or what impact, if any, such initiatives, if adopted as laws, may have on our business, financial condition or results of operations, or whether existing federal initiatives or agencies will be eliminated under the current U.S. Administration.

Environmental considerations

As an owner and operator of real property, we are subject to extensive U.S. federal and state and non-U.S. environmental laws and regulations. Potential environmental liabilities and costs in connection with any required remediation of our properties is also an inherent risk in property ownership and operation. In addition, we hold equity interests in companies, and have made loans secured by properties, which could potentially be subject to environmental liabilities. We routinely have environmental assessments performed with respect to real estate being acquired for investment and real property to be acquired through foreclosure. Based upon information currently available to us, we believe that any costs associated with compliance with environmental laws and regulations, or any remediation of such properties will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Climate and financial risks

The topic of climate risk has come under increased scrutiny by the NAIC and insurance regulators. The NAIC adopted a standard for insurance companies to report their climate-related risks as part of its annual Climate Risk Disclosure Survey, which applies to insurers that meet the reporting threshold of $100 million in countrywide direct premium and are licensed in one of the participating jurisdictions. The disclosure standard is consistent with the international Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures’ framework for reporting climate-related financial information.

The New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”) has stated that it expects domestic and foreign authorized insurers to integrate financial risks related to climate change into their governance frameworks, risk management processes and business strategies, and that insurers should develop their approach to climate-related financial disclosure. In addition, the NYDFS has issued guidance, applicable to GLICNY, that states that New York domestic insurers are expected to manage financial risks from climate change by outlining actions that are proportionate to the nature, scale and complexity of their businesses. For instance, the guidance that states that an insurer should: (i) incorporate climate risk into its financial risk management, including its ORSA; (ii) manage climate risk through its enterprise risk management functions and ensure that its organizational structure clearly defines roles and responsibilities related to managing such risk; (iii) use scenario analysis when developing business strategies and identifying risks; and (iv) incorporate the management of climate risk into its corporate governance structure at the group or insurer entity level. The NYDFS also requires an insurance group to include certain additional risks, such as climate change risk, in its enterprise risk management function. We have built a multi-phase climate risk management process and believe we are in compliance with the NYDFS guidance.

In addition, pursuant to its statutory authority to monitor the U.S. insurance industry under the Dodd-Frank Act, the FIO has been assessing how the insurance sector may mitigate climate risks and help achieve national climate-related goals. We expect the current U.S. Administration to bring about a new focus for many federal agencies, impacting rulemaking, supervision, examination and enforcement priorities. We cannot currently predict the nature and timing of future developments, including with respect to climate risks.

Table of Contents

On October 7, 2023, California enacted two climate disclosure laws that will require U.S. entities that do business in the state and meet certain annual revenue thresholds to provide climate-related disclosures. Insurance companies that are subject to regulation by the California Department of Insurance are specifically excluded from the disclosure requirements of the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (Senate Bill 261 as amended by Senate Bill 219, “SB 261”). While insurance companies were proposed to be exempted from the disclosure requirements of the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (Senate Bill 253 as amended by Senate Bill 219, “SB 253”), at a public hearing held on February 26, 2026 to approve initial regulations under SB 253 and SB 261, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) adopted a resolution directing the CARB Executive Officer (or their designee) to coordinate with the California Department of Insurance in order to evaluate and propose future regulatory requirements appropriate to include insurance companies within the scope of SB 253, provided that they are not otherwise required to submit that emissions data to the California Department of Insurance. SB 253 requires in-scope entities with more than $1.0 billion in annual revenue to annually disclose their Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and obtain assurance over those disclosures. SB 253 requires disclosures of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions beginning in 2026 (using fiscal year ended 2025 data), and Scope 3 emissions disclosures beginning in 2027. Scope 1 and Scope 2 disclosures require limited assurance beginning in 2027 and reasonable assurance beginning in 2030, and limited assurance may be required over Scope 3 disclosures beginning in 2030. On September 27, 2024, the governor of California signed into law final amendments to SB 261 and SB 253, which maintained the effective reporting dates but deferred by six months to July 1, 2025, the deadline for CARB to develop and adopt regulations that implement SB 253, including specific reporting deadlines (which deadline CARB did not meet). On February 26, 2026, CARB adopted regulations that established the initial reporting deadline of August 10, 2026 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions under SB 253, and that include definitions of “doing business in California” and “revenue” that align with existing California tax law. In November 2025, CARB confirmed that limited assurance will not be required for the first reporting year and also clarified that emissions reporting at the consolidated parent company level is permitted. On November 18, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an order granting a motion to enjoin enforcement of SB 261 but allowed implementation of SB 253 to proceed. It is too early to determine the scope and impact, if any, the new requirements will have on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Privacy and cybersecurity

In the United States, federal and state laws and regulations require financial institutions, including insurance companies, to protect the privacy and security of consumer financial information and to notify consumers about policies and practices relating to the collection, use and disclosure of consumer information, as well as policies to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of that information. Similarly, federal and state laws and regulations govern the disclosure and security of consumer health information. In particular, regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and various states regulate the disclosure and use of protected health information by health insurers and other covered entities, the physical and procedural safeguards employed to protect the security of that information, and the electronic transmission of such information. From time to time, Congress and state legislatures consider additional or amended legislation relating to privacy and other aspects of consumer information. We cannot predict whether such legislation will be enacted, how its application may be interpreted or reinterpreted by regulators, or what impact, if any, such legislation or regulation may have on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) is applicable to portions of our business and was significantly amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”). The CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, grants California residents the right to know what information a business has collected about them and the sourcing and sharing of that information, as well as the right to access and correct their personal information, and (subject to certain exemptions) the right to have a business delete their personal information. The CPRA created the California Privacy Protection Agency to enforce the CCPA and to promulgate regulations thereunder, imposed additional obligations regarding privacy notices to be provided to consumers and service provider contracts, created new requirements related to the collection and use of sensitive personal information and eliminated certain exemptions for personal information collected in employment or business-to-business contexts. The majority of the CPRA provisions went into effect on January 1, 2023. In 2025, the California Privacy Protection Agency promulgated regulations pursuant to the CCPA imposing obligations and restrictions on the use of automated decision-making technology as well as requirements for risk assessments and cybersecurity audits. Failure to comply with the CCPA and its regulations risks regulatory fines, and the law grants a private right of action for any unauthorized disclosure of certain personal information as a result of failure to maintain reasonable security procedures and practices.

Other jurisdictions have enacted, or are considering enacting, similar comprehensive or specific data privacy laws. These laws generally include entity-wide exemptions for financial institutions subject to Title V of the Gramm-Leach-

Table of Contents

Bliley Act, and exemptions for Covered Entities or data subject to HIPAA. However, such laws and regulations vary by jurisdiction and may apply to portions of our various businesses. Adapting our data privacy practices may reduce the risk of noncompliance but may increase our compliance costs.

The NAIC’s Privacy Protections (H) Working Group (“PPWG”) is currently drafting amendments to modernize the Privacy of Consumer Financial and Health Information Regulation (“Model Law 672”). The PPWG has a dedicated drafting group, which includes a representative from the life insurance industry, tasked with leading its model update effort. Throughout 2025, the PPWG released revised drafts of Model Law 672 by section in an iterative manner. The proposed amendments would expand the definition of nonpublic personal information; add consumer rights to request access, correction and deletion of nonpublic personal information; and add requirements for contracts with third-party service providers. In December 2025, the PPWG received an extension until the NAIC’s fall national meeting, scheduled for November 2026, to finalize the amendments to Model Law 672.

Cybersecurity continues to be an area of significant and increasing focus of legislatures and regulators. For example, on November 1, 2023, the NYDFS adopted amendments to its cybersecurity regulation specific to financial services institutions, including banking and insurance entities, under its jurisdiction. The regulation requires a company’s cybersecurity program to be reasonably designed to protect consumers’ private data and to include robust controls regarding access privileges, application security, policies and procedures for the disposal of nonpublic information, regular cybersecurity awareness training, encryption of nonpublic information, third-party due diligence and an incident response plan. The amendments expand requirements for notification to the NYDFS of cybersecurity events, including related to ransomware attacks, and expand technical requirements around system penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, risk assessments and audits. The amendments also add new requirements related to cybersecurity plans and expand cybersecurity governance requirements, among other things. We are required to file an annual certification of compliance with the NYDFS regarding our cybersecurity program.

In addition, the NAIC’s Insurance Data Security Model Law (the “Cybersecurity Model Law”), which is similar to New York’s cybersecurity regulation, establishes standards for data security and for the investigation of and notification to insurance commissioners of cybersecurity events involving unauthorized access to, or the misuse of, certain nonpublic information. The Cybersecurity Model Law provides requirements to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of covered information systems and the sensitive or business information thereon. At least 28 states and U.S. jurisdictions have adopted a version of the Cybersecurity Model Law, including Delaware and Virginia.

Effective in June 2023, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) amended the Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information Rules (known as the “Safeguards Rule”) to add requirements for certain covered financial institutions to implement and maintain certain data security practices in their information security programs. In November 2023, the FTC published a final rule further amending the Safeguards Rule to require notification to the FTC of certain data breach events. These additional amendments became effective in May 2024.

For additional information regarding our cybersecurity risk management and governance, see “Item 1C—Cybersecurity.”

Artificial intelligence

As a result of increased innovation and technology in the insurance sector, the NAIC and insurance regulators have been focused on the use of “big data” techniques, such as the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning and automated decision-making. In December 2023, the NAIC’s Innovation, Cybersecurity and Technology (H) Committee adopted the Model Bulletin on the Use of Artificial Intelligence Systems by Insurers (“AI Bulletin”). More than 20 states have adopted, and others may adopt, the AI Bulletin, which outlines insurance regulators’ expectations as to how insurers should govern the development, acquisition and use of certain artificial intelligence technologies, as well as the types of information that regulators may request during an investigation or examination of an insurer in regard to artificial intelligence systems.

The NAIC’s Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (H) Working Group (“Big Data and AI Working Group”) is evaluating artificial intelligence use outcomes and how well the current regulatory framework addresses potential harms from the use of artificial intelligence. The goal is to develop an overall artificial intelligence regulatory framework that could be incorporated into an NAIC regulatory handbook. For example, the Big Data and AI Working Group is developing a tool to collect information about an insurer’s use of artificial intelligence during an examination or investigation. In addition, the Third-Party Data and Models (H) Working Group is developing a framework for the regulatory oversight of insurers’ use of third-party data and predictive models.

See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Our computer systems, as well as those of our third-party service providers, have experienced failures or security compromises in the past and may do so again in the future, including as a result of cybersecurity incidents; we may experience issues from new and complex technology methodologies such as artificial intelligence; and unanticipated problems could materially adversely impact our disaster recovery systems and business continuity plans, any of which could expose confidential information such as personal information of our customers or employees, damage our reputation, impair our ability to conduct business effectively, result in enforcement action or litigation, and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

Risk Factor Summary

The following summarizes material risks to the Company and is qualified by the full description contained below. The occurrence of any of the following risks or of unknown risks and uncertainties may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Our Ability to Grow Our New Business, Products or Services

•New lines of business or new products and services, such as those we are pursuing with CareScout, may not be successful or may subject us to additional risks.

Risks Relating to Estimates, Assumptions and Valuations

•We may be required to increase our reserves as a result of deviations from our estimates and actuarial assumptions or other reasons, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•If the models used in our businesses are inaccurate, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•Our valuation of fixed maturity and equity securities uses methodologies, estimations and assumptions that are subject to change and differing interpretations which could result in changes to investment valuations that may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings depend on the ability of Enact Holdings and its subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other payments and distributions to each of them to meet their obligations.

•Our sources of capital have become more limited, and under certain conditions we may need to seek additional capital on unfavorable terms.

•Adverse rating agency actions have in the past resulted in a loss of business and adversely affected our results of operations, financial condition and business, and future adverse rating actions could have a further and more significant adverse impact on us.

•Defaults by counterparties to our reinsurance arrangements or to derivative instruments we use to hedge our business risks, or defaults by us on agreements we have with these counterparties, may expose us to risks we sought to mitigate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•Defaults or other events impacting the value of our fixed maturity securities portfolio may reduce our income.

Risks Relating to Economic and Market Conditions

•Interest rates and changes in rates could materially adversely affect our business and profitability.

•A deterioration in economic conditions, a severe recession or a decline in home prices, all of which could be driven by many potential factors, may adversely affect our business, profitability and Enact Holdings’ loss experience.

Regulatory and Legal Risks

Table of Contents

•Changes to the charters or practices of the GSEs, including actions or decisions to decrease or discontinue the use of mortgage insurance, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•If Enact is unable to continue to meet the requirements mandated by PMIERs because the GSEs amend them or the GSEs’ interpretation of the financial requirements requires Enact to hold amounts of capital that are higher than planned or otherwise, Enact may not be eligible to write new insurance on loans acquired by the GSEs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•Enact Holdings’ U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries are subject to minimum statutory capital requirements, which if not met or waived, would result in restrictions or prohibitions on them doing business and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

•Changes in regulations that adversely affect the mortgage insurance markets in which Enact Holdings operates could affect its operations significantly and could reduce the demand for mortgage insurance.

•Our legacy insurance subsidiaries may not be able to continue to mitigate the impact of Regulations XXX or AXXX and, therefore, they may incur higher operating costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Operational Risks

•If we are unable to retain, attract and motivate qualified employees or senior management, our results of operations, financial condition and business operations may be adversely impacted.

•Changes in the composition of Enact Holdings’ business or undue concentration by customer or geographic region could cause a significant loss of business or adverse performance of a small segment of its portfolio.

•We rely upon third-party vendors who may be unable or unwilling to meet their obligations to us.

Insurance and Product-Related Risks

•Enact Holdings may be unable to maintain or increase capital in its mortgage insurance subsidiaries in a timely manner, on anticipated terms or at all, including through improved business performance, reinsurance or similar transactions, securities offerings or otherwise, in each case as and when required.

•Reinsurance may not be available, affordable or adequate to protect us against losses.

•A decrease in the volume of high loan-to-value home mortgage originations or an increase in the volume of mortgage insurance cancellations could result in a decline in Enact Holdings’ revenue.

•The amount of mortgage insurance written by Enact Holdings could decline significantly if alternatives to private mortgage insurance are used or lower coverage levels of mortgage insurance are selected.

•Enact Holdings’ delegated underwriting and loss mitigation programs may subject its mortgage insurance subsidiaries to unanticipated claims.

•Medical advances, such as genetic research and diagnostic imaging, emerging new technology, including artificial intelligence and related legislation, could materially adversely affect the financial performance of our life insurance, long-term care insurance and annuity products.

Other Emerging Risks

Risks Relating to Our Ability to Grow Our New Business, Products or Services

New lines of business or new products and services, such as those we are pursuing with CareScout, may not be successful or may subject us to additional risks.

CareScout offers fee-based services, advice and consulting through CareScout Services and aging-care funding solutions, including long-term care insurance, through CareScout Insurance. These offerings constitute new lines of business we are pursuing. There are risks and uncertainties associated with any new line of business. In developing and marketing new lines of business and new products and services, we have invested significant time and resources, including capital. As we continue to invest in our growth initiatives, the attention of management and our Board of Directors could be diverted from other business operations. Our planned timeline for the development and introduction of new products or services may not be achieved, our expenditures may exceed revenues for longer than we anticipate, and our price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. Our ability to achieve anticipated business performance and financial results from CareScout could be adversely impacted for a variety of reasons and unforeseen events, including but not limited to, lower than anticipated customer demand, care providers not meeting our credentialing standards or delays in the credentialing process, higher capital needs, experience that differs from our assumptions, staffing shortages and extended workflow disruptions, and impediments to Genworth Holdings’ liquidity caused by, among other things, downturns in the U.S. economy that reduce its strategic investments in CareScout. Furthermore, if customers do not perceive our new offerings as providing significant value, they may fail to accept our new products and services in the way we anticipate. External factors, such as competitive alternatives, including potential U.S. federal government programs, shifting market preferences and commercial and/or regulatory challenges, including our ability to achieve desired financial strength ratings or obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for new insurance products offered by CareScout Insurance, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business or a new product or service. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of our new lines of business or new products or services, and specifically, the inability to achieve anticipated business performance and financial results from CareScout, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Estimates, Assumptions and Valuations

We may be required to increase our reserves as a result of deviations from our estimates and actuarial assumptions or other reasons, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We calculate and maintain reserves for estimated future payments of claims to our policyholders and contractholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP and industry accounting practices. We release these reserves as those future obligations are paid, experience changes or policies lapse. The reserves we establish reflect estimates and actuarial assumptions with regard to our future experience. These estimates and actuarial assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment. Our future financial results depend significantly upon the extent to which our actual future experience is consistent with the assumptions and methodologies we have used in pricing our products and calculating our reserves.

Many factors, and changes in these factors, can affect future experience, including but not limited to: interest rates; investment returns and volatility; economic and social conditions, such as inflation, unemployment, home price appreciation or depreciation, and health care experience (including the type of care and cost of care); policyholder persistency or lapses (i.e., the probability that a policy or contract will remain in-force from one period to the next); insured mortality (i.e., life expectancy or longevity); insured morbidity (i.e., frequency and severity of claim, including claim termination rates, claim incidence, duration of claim and benefit utilization rates); future premium rate increases and benefit reductions; expenses; and doctrines of legal liability and damage awards in litigation. Because these factors are not known in advance, change over time, are difficult to accurately predict and are inherently uncertain, we cannot determine with precision the ultimate amounts we will pay for actual claims or the timing of those payments.

At least annually, as part of our ongoing assessment of our business performance and risks, we review our assumptions to determine the adequacy of reserves. Generally, we do not anticipate trends in actual variances from expected experience to change significantly in the short-term and, to the extent these trends may change, we expect such changes to be gradual over the long-term. However, this may not prove to be the case. If we conclude that our reserves are insufficient to cover actual or expected policy and contract benefits and claim payments as a result of changes in experience, assumptions or otherwise, we would be required to increase our reserves and record a charge through earnings in the period in which we make the determination. The amounts of such increases to reserves and charges to earnings may be significant, and this could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Small changes in

Table of Contents

assumptions or small deviations of actual experience from assumptions can have, and in the past have had, material impacts on our reserves, results of operations and financial condition.

Closed Block Segment

The expected future profitability of the long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products included in our Closed Block segment is based in part upon expected patterns of premiums, expenses and benefits, using a number of assumptions, including, but not limited to, morbidity, mortality, persistency, lapse, and future premium rate increases and benefit reductions. The long-term profitability of these products depends upon the accuracy of our long-term assumptions used to calculate our reserves and how our actual experience compares with our expected experience. If any of our long-term assumptions prove to be inaccurate, our reserves may be inadequate.

See “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” and notes 8, 9, 10 and 11 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information. Significant increases to our reserves may, among other things, limit our ability to execute on our business initiatives and adversely impact our credit or financial strength ratings. Any of these results could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We also perform cash flow testing or “asset adequacy analysis” separately for each of our legacy insurance subsidiaries on a statutory accounting basis. To the extent that the cash flow testing margin is negative in any of our legacy insurance subsidiaries, we would need to increase statutory reserves in that company, which would decrease our RBC ratios. For additional information regarding impacts to statutory capital as a result of reserve increases, see “—An adverse change in the regulatory requirements on our legacy insurance subsidiaries, including risk-based capital requirements, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.”

Long-term care insurance

The risk that our claims experience may differ significantly from our valuation assumptions is particularly significant for our long-term care insurance products. Long-term care insurance policies provide for long-duration coverage and, therefore, our actual claims experience will emerge over many years, or decades.

For our long-term care insurance policies, actual persistency that is higher than our expected persistency assumptions could have a negative impact on profitability. If these policies remain in-force longer than we assumed, then we could be required to make greater benefit payments than we anticipated. A significant number of our long-term care insurance policies have experienced higher persistency than we had originally assumed, which has resulted in higher claims and an adverse effect on profitability.

In addition, if morbidity rates are higher or mortality rates are lower than our valuation assumptions, we could be required to make greater payments and thus establish more reserves under our long-term care insurance policies than we had expected, and such amounts could be significant. Among other factors, changes in economic and interest rate risk, staffing shortages, socio-demographics, behavioral trends (e.g., location of care and level of benefit use) and medical advances, may also have a material adverse impact on our future claims trends. For example, the impact of inflation on claims could be more pronounced for our long-term care insurance products than our other businesses given the long-duration nature of long-term care insurance. We have observed an increase in the cost of care in recent years due in part to elevated inflation, resulting in higher claim payments in our long-term care insurance products in Closed Block. To the extent inflation or other factors cause health care costs to increase more than we anticipated, we will be required to increase our reserves which could negatively impact our profitability. Although we considered the potential effects of inflation when setting premium rates, our premiums may not fully offset the effects of inflation and may result in our underpricing of the risks we insure. Given these inherent challenges, our ability to precisely forecast future claim costs for long-term care insurance is limited.

For additional information on our long-term care insurance reserves, see “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates—Liability for future policy benefits.”

Table of Contents

Assumption updates and actual variances from expected experience

We use best estimate assumptions for our long-term care insurance products, and the impacts of assumption updates are reflected as liability remeasurement gains or losses in the statements of operations based on issue-year cohorts. As a result, cash flow assumption updates as well as actual variances from expected experience on these long-duration products will continue to drive volatility in our long-term care insurance results in our Closed Block segment. Approximately 50% of our cohorts currently have net premium ratios capped at 100%. The net premium ratio represents the portion of the gross premiums required to provide for all benefits and certain expenses in our long-term care insurance products. These capped cohorts are generally our older long-term care insurance policies, largely sold prior to 2003. The other approximately 50% of our cohorts have a net premium ratio of less than 100% and are currently expected to be profitable, on a cohort basis. We would expect ongoing earnings impacts and volatility related to assumption updates and variances between actual and expected experience in our older, unprofitable capped cohorts going forward. Our profitable uncapped cohorts have had a more modest earnings impact related to assumption updates and variances between actual and expected experience, to date, with a portion of the impact reflected in current period results and the remaining majority of the impact recognized over the life of the cohort. However, as we move further from the January 2021 transition date of the accounting guidance for long-duration insurance contracts adopted on January 1, 2023, we may see increased volatility from the uncapped cohorts, with more of the impact related to assumption updates and actual variances from expected experience recognized immediately in net income (loss). While quarterly variations are typically expected to be relatively small compared to the overall size of our liability for future policy benefits of $44.1 billion, at the locked-in discount rate, for our long-term care insurance products as of December 31, 2025, these variations have had, and may in the future have, a material impact on our quarterly results of operations and can result in material losses in our long-term care insurance products in our Closed Block segment.

See “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Closed Block segment” for the impacts of cash flow assumption updates and actual variances from expected experience.

In-force management actions

The adequacy of our current long-term care insurance reserves in Closed Block depends significantly on our assumptions regarding our ability to execute in-force management actions, including our multi-year in-force rate action plan (through premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions) and other reduced benefit options outside of our in-force rate action plan. In measuring our long-term care insurance reserves under U.S. GAAP, we include assumptions for significant future premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions resulting from rate actions that have been approved, as well as assumptions for rate actions that are anticipated to be approved (including premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions not yet filed) under our in-force rate action plan.

As part of our cash flow testing process for our legacy insurance subsidiaries, we also consider incremental benefits from expected future in-force rate actions in our long-term care insurance products that help mitigate the impact of deteriorating experience. We may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for the future in-force rate actions we assumed in connection with our cash flow testing for our legacy insurance subsidiaries. If we do not obtain regulatory approval, we may be required to significantly further increase statutory reserves which could have a material adverse effect on our business, statutory results of operations and financial condition.

The NYDFS, which regulates GLICNY, our New York insurance subsidiary, also requires specific adequacy testing scenarios that are generally more severe than those deemed acceptable in other states. Moreover, the required testing scenarios by the NYDFS have a disproportionate impact on our long-term care insurance products. In addition, we use New York specific experience for setting assumptions in our long-term care insurance products in GLICNY. While the NYDFS generally does not permit in-force rate increases for long-term care insurance to be used in asset adequacy analysis until such increases have been approved, it has allowed GLICNY to incorporate recently filed in-force rate actions in its asset adequacy analysis prior to approval in the past. As a result, after discussions with the NYDFS and through the exercise of professional actuarial judgment, GLICNY incorporated assumptions for future in-force rate actions for long-term care insurance products in its 2024 asset adequacy analysis to offset the emerging adverse experience for these products. With these assumption updates, GLICNY’s 2024 asset adequacy analysis produced a negative margin. To address the negative margin, GLICNY recorded an incremental $79 million of additional statutory reserves in 2024, which resulted in a Company Action Level RBC ratio of 200% for GLICNY as of December 31, 2024. For GLICNY’s 2025 asset adequacy analysis, which included a conditional approval of an in-force rate action but not an assumption for additional future in-force rate actions, the margin was positive. Accordingly, no additional statutory reserves were required to be recorded and GLICNY’s Company Action Level RBC ratio was 207%. For additional information on GLICNY asset adequacy testing, see note 20 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and

Table of Contents

Supplementary Data.” If the NYDFS disapproves or limits a filed in-force rate action in the future, or does not allow GLICNY to incorporate assumptions in its asset adequacy analysis for future in-force rate actions it may file in the future, this could result in a material decrease in GLICNY’s cash flow testing margin and could require GLICNY to further significantly increase its statutory reserves. This could have a material adverse effect on GLICNY’s financial condition and RBC ratio.

For additional information on our in-force rate actions on our long-term care insurance products, see “—The inability to execute in-force management actions (including obtaining in-force rate actions) on our long-term care insurance products in Closed Block could have a material adverse impact on our business, including our results of operations and financial condition.”

Life insurance

If mortality rates are higher than our pricing and valuation assumptions, we could be required to make greater payments than we had projected under our life insurance policies. For our universal life insurance contracts, increased persistency that is the result of the sale of contracts by the insured to third parties that continue to make premium payments on contracts that would otherwise have lapsed, also known as life settlements, could have an adverse impact on profitability because of the higher claims rate associated with settled contracts.

The risk that our lapse experience may differ significantly from our valuation assumptions is also significant for our term life and term universal life insurance products. These products generally have a level premium period for a specified period of years (e.g., 10 years to 30 years) after which the premium increases, which may be significant. If the frequency of lapses is higher than our expected reserve assumption, we would experience lower premiums and could experience higher benefit costs, as it may be that healthy policyholders are the ones who lapse (as they can more easily replace coverage), creating adverse selection where less healthy policyholders remain in our portfolio. We have experienced both a greater frequency of policyholder lapses and more severe adverse selection after the level premium period than originally assumed, and this experience could continue or worsen. If lapse experience continues or worsens on future 10-, 15- and 20-year level premium period blocks, we would expect volatility in premiums and mortality experience, which would reduce profitability in our term life insurance products, in amounts that could be material, if persistency is lower than our original assumptions. For additional information on our term life insurance reserves, including select sensitivities, see “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates—Liability for future policy benefits.”

Annuities

If mortality rates are higher than our pricing and valuation assumptions, we could be required to make greater payments under our annuity contracts with guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDBs”) than we had projected. Conversely, if mortality rates are lower than our valuation assumptions, we could be required to make greater payments and thus establish additional reserves under our annuity contracts without GMDBs, and such amounts could be significant.

For our deferred annuity products with guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits and guaranteed annuitization benefits, actual persistency that is higher than our persistency assumptions could have an adverse impact on profitability because we could be required to make withdrawal or annuitization payments for a longer period of time than the account value would support.

The valuation of market risk benefits associated with our fixed and variable annuity contracts is subject to capital market risks, primarily through equity market and interest rate volatility. We attempt to mitigate some of these risks through hedging strategies; however, adverse changes in equity market performance or interest rate fluctuations could devalue the expected benefits to contractholders resulting in the need to increase our market risk benefit reserves, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Enact Segment

The establishment of loss reserves for Enact Holdings and its mortgage insurance subsidiaries is subject to inherent uncertainty and requires significant judgment and numerous assumptions. Enact Holdings establishes loss reserves using its best estimate of the rate at which delinquencies go to claim (“claim rate”) and claim severity to calculate estimated losses on loans reported by servicers as being in default as of the end of each reporting period. Enact Holdings also establishes incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves for estimated losses incurred on loans in default that have not yet been

Table of Contents

reported by servicers. The sources of uncertainty affecting estimates are numerous and include both internal and external factors. Internal factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the mix of exposures, loss mitigation activities and claim settlement practices. Significant external factors include changes in general economic conditions, such as home prices, unemployment/underemployment, interest rates, tax policy, credit availability, government housing policies, government and GSE loss mitigation and mortgage forbearance programs, state foreclosure timelines, GSE and state foreclosure moratoriums and types of mortgage products. Because assumptions related to these factors are based on inputs that are inherently uncertain, Enact Holdings cannot determine with precision the ultimate amounts it will pay for actual claims or the timing of those payments.

In addition, sudden and/or unexpected deterioration of economic conditions may cause estimates of loss reserves to be materially understated. For example, during recessionary periods in the past, accompanied by increased unemployment and declining home prices, Enact Holdings has experienced higher delinquencies and increased losses. Furthermore, consistent with industry practice, Enact Holdings does not record losses on insured loans that are not in default. To the extent actual losses are greater than current loss reserves or if loans not in default become delinquent and go to claim, it could materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition and restrict Enact Holdings’ ability to distribute dividends to Genworth Holdings, thereby negatively impacting our liquidity.

Enact Holdings depends on the reliability of third-party servicing of the loans that it insures. If a servicer were to experience adverse effects to its business, Enact Holdings could experience delays in the servicer fulfilling its reporting and premium payment requirements. Without reliable, consistent third-party servicing, Enact Holdings may be unable to properly recognize and establish reserves on loans when a delinquency exists or occurs but is not reported. In addition, if these servicers fail to limit and mitigate losses when appropriate, Enact Holdings’ losses may unexpectedly increase.

Enact Holdings regularly reviews its reserves and associated assumptions. If Enact Holdings concludes its reserves are insufficient to cover actual or expected claim payments as a result of changes in experience, assumptions or otherwise, it would be required to increase its reserves and incur charges in the period in which the determination was made. The amounts of such increases could be significant, and this may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

If the models used in our businesses are inaccurate, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We employ models to, among other uses, price products, calculate reserves, value assets, make investment decisions and generate projections used to estimate future pre-tax income, as well as to evaluate risk, determine internal capital requirements and perform stress testing. These models rely on estimates and projections that are inherently uncertain, may use data and/or assumptions that do not adequately reflect recent experience and relevant industry data, and may not operate as intended. In addition, from time to time we seek to improve certain actuarial and financial models, and the conversion process may result in material changes to assumptions and financial results. The models we employ are complex, which increases our risk of error in their design, implementation or use. Also, the associated input data, assumptions and calculations and the controls we have in place to mitigate these risks may not be effective in all cases. The risks related to our models often increase when we change assumptions and/or methodologies, add or change modeling platforms or implement model changes under time constraints. These risks are exacerbated when the process for assumption changes strains our overall governance and timing around our financial reporting.

We intend to continue developing our modeling capabilities, including new and emerging artificial intelligence methodologies. During or after the implementation of model updates or enhancements, we may discover errors, risks or other deficiencies in existing models, assumptions and/or methodologies. Moreover, we may use additional, more granular and detailed information through enhancements in our reserving and other processes or we may employ more simplified approaches in the future, either of which may cause us to refine or otherwise change existing assumptions and/or methodologies and thus associated reserve levels, which in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Specific to Enact Holdings, the models rely on accurate data, including financial statements, credit reports or other information, much of which comes from third parties. Models may prove to be less predictive than expected for a variety of reasons, including changes in credit scoring and reporting processes, economic conditions that develop differently than forecasted, unique conditions for which we do not have good historical comparators, unexpected economic and unemployment conditions that arise, changes in the law or in PMIERs and the use of short-term financial metrics that do not reveal long-term trends. For example, there are proposals to change the credit score landscape including the acceptance

Table of Contents

of VantageScore in addition to FICO, or the adoption of FICO 10T. Proposals like this could limit comparability to historical data used in Enact Holdings’ models and lead to inaccurate results.

Enact Holdings establishes premium rates for the duration of a mortgage insurance certificate upon issuance and cannot adjust the premiums after a certificate is issued. As a result, Enact Holdings cannot offset the impact of unanticipated claims with premium increases on coverage in-force. Enact Holdings’ premium rates vary with the perceived risk of a claim and prepayment on the insured loan and are developed using models based on long-term historical experience, which take into account a number of factors including, but not limited to, the loan-to-value ratio, whether the mortgage provides for fixed payments or variable payments, the term of the mortgage, the borrower’s credit history, the borrower’s income and assets, and home price appreciation. In the event the premiums Enact Holdings charges do not adequately compensate for the risks and costs associated with the provided coverage, including costs associated with unforeseen higher claims, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our valuation of fixed maturity and equity securities uses methodologies, estimations and assumptions that are subject to change and differing interpretations which could result in changes to investment valuations that may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We report fixed maturity and equity securities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. These securities represent the majority of our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets. Our portfolio of fixed maturity securities consists primarily of investment grade securities. Valuations use inputs and assumptions that are less observable or require greater estimation, as well as valuation methods that are more complex or require greater estimation, thereby resulting in values that are less certain and may vary significantly from the value at which the investments may be ultimately sold. The methodologies, estimates and assumptions we use in valuing our investment securities evolve over time and are subject to different interpretation (including based on developments in relevant accounting literature), all of which can lead to changes in the value of our investment securities. Rapidly changing and unanticipated interest rate, external macroeconomic, credit and equity market conditions could materially impact the valuation of investment securities as reported within our consolidated financial statements, and the period-to-period changes in value could vary significantly. Decreases in value may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Liquidity, Financial Strength and Credit Ratings, and Counterparty and Credit Risks

Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings depend on the ability of Enact Holdings and its subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other payments and distributions to each of them to meet their obligations.

Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings each act as a holding company and do not have business operations of their own. Dividends and other capital returns from Enact Holdings and its subsidiaries, permitted payments to Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings under tax sharing and expense reimbursement arrangements with their subsidiaries and proceeds from borrowings are their principal sources of cash to meet their obligations. These obligations principally include operating expenses, including income taxes, and interest and principal payments on current and future borrowings. We began paying federal income taxes in 2023, resulting in lower intercompany cash tax payments retained by Genworth Holdings from its subsidiaries in 2024 and 2025 as compared to the amounts retained during recent prior years. We anticipate lower intercompany cash tax payments to be retained going forward, as we utilized our remaining foreign tax credits in 2023. We manage our legacy insurance subsidiaries on a standalone basis, and accordingly, we do not expect to receive dividends or other capital returns from them. Therefore, our holding companies’ liquidity and capital positions are highly dependent on the performance of Enact Holdings and its ability to pay future dividends and other forms of capital returns.

If the cash Genworth Financial or Genworth Holdings receives pursuant to dividends, other capital returns and tax sharing and expense reimbursement arrangements is insufficient to fund any of their obligations, or if Enact Holdings is unable or unwilling for any reason to pay dividends to Genworth Holdings, our liquidity would be materially adversely impacted which would likely have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and overall business. Moreover, if Genworth Financial or Genworth Holdings do not receive sufficient cash to fund their obligations, they may be forced to raise cash through unfavorable arrangements or terms, including but not limited to, the incurrence of debt (including convertible or exchangeable debt), the sale of assets or the issuance of equity. See “—Our sources of capital have become more limited, and under certain conditions we may need to seek additional capital on unfavorable terms” for additional details.

Table of Contents

Enact Holdings’ evaluation of future dividend payments to Genworth Holdings and our holding companies’ overall resulting liquidity plans are subject to and dependent on, among other things, current and future market conditions, Enact Holdings’ business performance and capital preservation, corporate law restrictions, insurance laws and regulations, Enact Holdings’ ability to maintain adequate capital to meet its current and future requirements mandated by PMIERs or other GSE requirements, and business and regulatory approvals.

For additional details on PMIERs and risks associated with an inability to meet its requirements, see “—If Enact is unable to continue to meet the requirements mandated by PMIERs because the GSEs amend them or the GSEs’ interpretation of the financial requirements requires Enact to hold amounts of capital that are higher than planned or otherwise, Enact may not be eligible to write new insurance on loans acquired by the GSEs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition” and “Regulation—Enact—Mortgage Insurance Regulation—Other U.S. regulation and agency qualification requirements.”

In general, dividends and distributions are required to be submitted to an insurer’s domiciliary department of insurance for review, and distributions from sources other than unassigned surplus require affirmative approval before being paid. In addition, insurance regulators may prohibit the payment of dividends and distributions or other payments by the insurance subsidiaries (such as a payment under a tax sharing agreement or for employee or other services, including expense reimbursements) if they determine that such payment could be adverse to policyholders.

Genworth Financial has the right to appoint a majority of directors to the board of directors of Enact Holdings; however, actions taken by Enact Holdings and its board of directors (including in the case of the payment of dividends, the approval of Enact Holdings’ independent capital committee) are subject to and may be limited by the interests of Enact Holdings, including but not limited to, its use of capital for growth opportunities and regulatory requirements.

Our sources of capital have become more limited, and under certain conditions we may need to seek additional capital on unfavorable terms.

Although Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings continue to significantly improve their overall financial condition, they still need liquidity to pay operating expenses, debt servicing costs and other obligations. As of December 31, 2025, Genworth Holdings had $783 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt that matures starting in 2034. Absent receiving dividends or other capital returns from Enact Holdings as anticipated, we would likely need to access additional liquidity through third-party sources. However, we may not be able to raise capital and/or borrowings on favorable terms based on our credit ratings and current business prospects, particularly given the aforementioned risks associated with launching new business initiatives offered by CareScout. There is no guarantee that any of these factors will improve in the future when we would seek additional capital. Disruptions, volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and downgrades in our credit ratings may force us to delay raising capital, issue shorter term securities than would be optimal, bear an unattractive cost of capital or be unable to raise capital at any price. Furthermore, our ability to raise additional capital, including through additional minority equity offerings of Enact Holdings or the issuance of equity or debt, could depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, regulatory considerations, the general availability of credit, the level of activity and availability of reinsurance, our credit ratings and credit capacity and the performance of and outlook for Enact Holdings. Market conditions and a variety of other factors may make it difficult or impracticable to generate additional liquidity on favorable terms or at all. Similarly, market conditions and a variety of other factors may make it difficult or impracticable to generate additional liquidity through asset sales or the issuance of additional equity, and any issuance of equity in such circumstances could be highly dilutive to our stockholders. Any failure to meet our financial obligations as they become due would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not currently have a revolving credit facility at the Genworth Holdings level to provide liquidity. To the extent we need additional funding to satisfy our additional liquidity needs, we may not be able to enter into a new credit facility on terms (or at targeted amounts) acceptable to us or at all.

For a further discussion of our liquidity, see “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Adverse rating agency actions have in the past resulted in a loss of business and adversely affected our results of operations, financial condition and business, and future adverse rating actions could have a further and more significant adverse impact on us.

Financial strength ratings, which various rating agencies publish as measures of an insurance company’s ability to meet contractholder and policyholder obligations, are important to maintaining public confidence in our products, the ability to market our products, including new insurance products offered by CareScout Insurance, and our competitive position. Credit ratings, which rating agencies publish as measures of an entity’s ability to repay its indebtedness, are important to our ability to raise capital through the issuance of debt and other forms of credit and to the cost of such financing. Our ratings are subject to periodic review and could be downgraded. Rating agencies could change or expand their requirements or could find that our insurance subsidiaries no longer meet the criteria established for current ratings.

Over the course of the last several years prior to 2021, the ratings of our holding companies and all our insurance subsidiaries were downgraded, placed on negative outlook and/or put on review for potential downgrade on various occasions. A ratings downgrade, negative outlook or review could occur again for a variety of reasons, including reasons specifically related to our company, generally related to our industry or the broader financial services industry or as a result of changes by the rating agencies in their methodologies or rating criteria. A negative outlook on our ratings or a downgrade in any of our financial strength or credit ratings, the announcement of a potential downgrade, negative outlook or review, or customer, investor, regulator or other concerns about the possibility of a downgrade, negative outlook or review, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business.

See “Item 1—Business—Ratings” for information regarding the current financial strength ratings of our principal insurance subsidiaries.

The direct or indirect effects of such adverse ratings actions or any future actions could include, but are not limited to:

•ceasing and/or reducing new sales of our products or limiting the business opportunities with which we are presented;

•adversely affecting our relationships with existing distributors, including the loss of exclusivity under certain agreements with our independent sales intermediaries and distribution partners, or negatively impacting our ability to establish relationships with new distributors;

•causing us to lose key distributors that have ratings requirements that we may no longer satisfy (or resulting in our renegotiation of new, less favorable arrangements with those distributors);

•requiring us to modify some of our existing products or services to remain competitive, including reducing premiums we charge, or introduce new products or services;

•materially increasing the number or amount of policy surrenders, withdrawals and loans by contractholders and policyholders;

•requiring us to post additional collateral for our derivatives or hedging agreements tied to the credit ratings of our holding companies;

•requiring us to provide support, or to arrange for third-party support, in the form of collateral, capital contributions or letters of credit under the terms of certain of our reinsurance and other agreements, or otherwise securing our commercial counterparties for the perceived risk of our financial strength;

•adversely affecting our ability to maintain reinsurance or obtain new reinsurance or obtain it on reasonable pricing and other terms;

•increasing the capital charge associated with affiliated investments within certain of our legacy insurance subsidiaries thereby lowering capital and RBC of these subsidiaries and negatively impacting our financial flexibility;

•regulators requiring certain of our subsidiaries to maintain additional capital, limiting thereby our financial flexibility and requiring us to raise additional capital;

•adversely affecting our ability to raise capital;

•increased scrutiny by the GSEs and/or by customers, potentially resulting in a decrease in the amount of new insurance written;

Table of Contents

•increasing our cost of borrowing and making it more difficult to borrow in the public debt markets or enter into a credit agreement; and

•making it more difficult to execute on CareScout initiatives.

Under PMIERs, the GSEs require maintenance of at least one rating with a rating agency acceptable to the respective GSE. The current PMIERs do not include a specific eligibility ratings requirement, but if this were to change, Enact would become subject to a ratings requirement in order to retain its eligibility status under PMIERs. Ratings downgrades that result in the inability of Enact to insure new mortgage loans sold to the GSEs, or the transfer by the GSEs of its existing policies to an alternative mortgage insurer, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. See “—If Enact is unable to continue to meet the requirements mandated by PMIERs because the GSEs amend them or the GSEs’ interpretation of the financial requirements requires Enact to hold amounts of capital that are higher than planned or otherwise, Enact may not be eligible to write new insurance on loans acquired by the GSEs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition” for additional information regarding the requirements under PMIERs. Relationships with mortgage insurance customers may be adversely affected by the ratings assigned to Genworth Holdings or our principal insurance subsidiaries which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. EMICO, our principal U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiary, has financial strength ratings that are relatively consistent with its competitors. However, any assigned financial strength rating that is below other private mortgage insurers, or any future downgrade or the announcement of a potential downgrade in EMICO’s financial strength ratings, could hinder our competitiveness in the marketplace and could result in an adverse impact to our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Defaults by counterparties to our reinsurance arrangements or to derivative instruments we use to hedge our business risks, or defaults by us on agreements we have with these counterparties, may expose us to risks we sought to mitigate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We routinely execute reinsurance and derivative transactions with reinsurers, broker-dealers, commercial banks, investment banks and other institutional counterparties to mitigate our risks in various circumstances and to hedge various business risks. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of our counterparty or client or change in collateral value. Reinsurance does not relieve us of our direct liability to our policyholders, even when the reinsurer is liable to us. Accordingly, we bear credit risk with respect to our reinsurers. It is possible that our reinsurers may not pay the reinsurance recoverable owed to us now, in the future or on a timely basis. A reinsurer’s insolvency, inability or unwillingness to make payments under the terms of its reinsurance agreement with us could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Collateral is often posted by the counterparty to offset this risk; however, we bear the risk that the collateral declines in value or otherwise is inadequate to fully compensate us in the event of a default. We also enter into a variety of derivative instruments, including options, swaps, forwards, and interest rate and currency swaps with a number of counterparties. If our counterparties fail or refuse to honor their obligations under the derivative instruments, and collateral posted, if any, is inadequate, our hedges of the related risk will be ineffective. In addition, if we trigger downgrade provisions on risk-hedging or reinsurance arrangements, the counterparties to these arrangements may be able to terminate our arrangements with them and take possession of the collateral or require us to take other measures, such as post additional collateral, contribute capital or provide letters of credit. We have agreed to terms with almost all of our counterparties concerning our collateral arrangements given our low ratings and, in most cases, agreed to post excess collateral to maintain our existing derivative agreements. Moreover, these terms also removed the credit downgrade provisions from all of the insurance company master swap agreements and replaced them with a provision that allows the counterparty to terminate the derivative transaction if the RBC ratio of the applicable insurance company goes below a certain threshold. Although we believe this has allowed us to maintain effective hedging relationships with our counterparties, it has added additional strain on liquidity and collateral sufficiency. Furthermore, we may not be able to maintain these current arrangements in the foreseeable future or at all. If counterparties exercise their rights to terminate transactions, we may be required to make cash payments to the counterparty based on the current contract value, which would hinder our ability to manage future risks.

We ceded to UFLIC our in-force structured settlements block of business issued prior to 2004, certain variable annuity business issued prior to 2004 and the long-term care insurance business assumed from legal entities now a part of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company. UFLIC has established trust accounts for our benefit to secure its obligations under the reinsurance arrangements. GE is obligated to maintain UFLIC’s RBC above a specified minimum level pursuant to a Capital Maintenance Agreement. If UFLIC becomes insolvent notwithstanding this agreement, and the amounts in the trust accounts are insufficient to pay UFLIC’s obligations to us, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition

and results of operations. The loss of material risk-hedging or reinsurance arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For additional information on UFLIC reinsurance, see note 7 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Defaults or other events impacting the value of our fixed maturity securities portfolio may reduce our income.

We are subject to the risk that the issuers or guarantors of investment securities we own may default on principal or interest payments they owe us. As of December 31, 2025, fixed maturity securities of $45.8 billion in our investment portfolio represented 75% of our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets. Events reducing the value of our investment portfolio other than on a temporary basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Levels of write-downs or expected credit losses are impacted by our assessment of the financial condition of the issuer, whether or not the issuer is expected to pay its principal and interest obligations, and our expected recoveries in the event of a default or circumstances that would require us to sell securities that have declined in value.

Risks Relating to Economic and Market Conditions

Interest rates and changes in rates could materially adversely affect our business and profitability.

Insurance Products and Investments

Our products and investment portfolio are impacted by interest rate fluctuations. In 2022 through 2024, we experienced significant declines in investment valuations as a result of elevated interest rates, which had an adverse impact on our financial position. This negative trend abated in 2025, as the U.S. Federal Reserve began decreasing the federal funds rate in September 2025. The U.S. Federal Reserve held rates constant at its January 2026 meeting and continues to monitor labor market conditions and inflation under an uncertain economic outlook; therefore, there is uncertainty as to whether interest rates will further decline or increase in the near term.

Interest rate fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the results of our investment portfolio by increasing reinvestment risk and reducing our ability to achieve adequate investment returns. During periods of declining market interest rates, the interest we receive on variable interest rate investments decreases. In addition, during those periods, we reinvest the cash we receive as interest or return of principal on our investments in lower-yielding high-grade instruments or in lower-credit instruments to maintain comparable returns. Issuers of fixed-income securities may decide to prepay their obligations in order to borrow at lower market rates, which exacerbates our reinvestment risk.

The pricing and/or expected future profitability of our long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products are based in part on expected investment returns. Generally, life and long-term care insurance products are expected to initially produce positive cash flows as customers pay periodic premiums, which we invest as they are received. The premiums, along with accumulated investment earnings, are needed to pay claims, which are generally expected to exceed premiums in later years. Given the average life of our assets is shorter than the average life of the liabilities on these products, our reinvestment risk is also greater in low interest rate environments as a significant portion of cash flows used to pay benefits to our policyholders and contractholders comes from investment returns. If interest rates return to low levels, it would adversely affect the profitability of our long-term care insurance, life insurance and fixed annuity products. Low interest rates may also increase hedging costs on our in-force block of variable annuity products. In addition, certain statutory capital requirements for our legacy insurance subsidiaries are based on models that consider interest rates. Prolonged periods of low interest rates may increase the statutory reserves we are required to hold as well as the amount of assets and capital we must maintain to support amounts of statutory reserves in these companies.

Our insurance and investment products, such as those included in our policyholder account balances and separate accounts, are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations and expose us to the risk that declines in interest rates or tightening credit spreads will reduce our interest rate margin or net spreads (the difference between the returns we earn on the investments that support our obligations under these products and the amounts we pay to policyholders and contractholders). We may reduce the interest rates we credit on most of these products only at limited, pre-established intervals, and some contracts have guaranteed minimum interest crediting rates. As a result of historic low interest rates prior to 2022, a lack of new deposits and declines in our interest rate margin on these products, our business and profitability have been adversely impacted. During 2025, we continued to experience lower net spread income on our annuity products due to crediting rates outpacing investment returns, coupled with lower annuity account values driven by

Table of Contents

block runoff. This unfavorable trend occurred in spite of the higher interest rate environment, and if it persists, could result in further net spread compression and an adverse impact to our results of operations.

During periods of increasing market interest rates, we may increase crediting rates on interest-sensitive in-force products, such as universal life insurance and fixed annuities. Rapidly rising interest rates may lead to increased policy surrenders, withdrawals from life insurance policies and annuity contracts and requests for policy loans, as policyholders and contractholders shift assets into higher yielding investments. Increases in crediting rates, as well as surrenders and withdrawals, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, including the requirement to liquidate fixed-income investments in an unrealized loss position to satisfy surrenders or withdrawals.

In addition, our insurance reserves are sensitive to movements in interest rates as we are required to remeasure our liability for future policy benefits and related reinsurance recoverables at the current discount rate, commonly interpreted to be a single-A rated bond rate. This will likely result in volatility to our stockholders’ equity. For example, if the U.S. Federal Reserve continues to reverse its monetary tightening by reducing interest rates, our insurance reserves would increase and our stockholders’ equity would decrease by amounts that could be material, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. See note 2 in “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional details on the measurement of our insurance reserves.

Rising interest rates erode the value of our investment portfolio and reduce our unrealized investment gains. As experienced in recent years, during periods of increasing interest rates, market values of lower-yielding assets will decline resulting in unrealized losses on our investment portfolio. Any material reduction in unrealized gains or increase in unrealized losses on our investment portfolio or forward starting swap derivatives due to higher interest rates could impede our ability to utilize certain deferred tax assets and/or result in the need to establish higher tax valuation allowances, either of which could materially adversely impact our results of operations and financial position.

Enact—Mortgage Insurance

Rising interest rates generally reduce the volume of new mortgage originations and refinances, which could cause new insurance written by Enact Holdings to decline materially and could thereby pressure earnings and lead to an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. The U.S. housing market experienced a dramatic decline in the volume of mortgage originations in 2022 through 2024 due largely to rising interest rates, a low supply of homes and pressured affordability, resulting in lower new insurance written at Enact Holdings. The decrease in new insurance written was generally offset by higher persistency on Enact Holdings’ existing insured loans as a result of prevailing market interest rates being above the mortgage interest rates of the majority of Enact Holdings’ loan portfolio. Despite a trend of declining rates during the second half of 2025, future rate changes and the ultimate impact on Enact Holdings’ premiums and new insurance written are difficult to predict. We could experience a future adverse impact to our results of operations if the volume of new insurance written were to remain suppressed for a prolonged period of time.

Higher interest rates can lead to an increase in defaults, as borrowers who default will find it harder to qualify for a replacement loan. Rising interest rates can also have a negative impact on home prices, which increases our risk of loss. Any significant decline in home values, either due to rising rates or otherwise, particularly if accompanied by increased unemployment in a recessionary environment, could increase delinquencies and foreclosures at Enact Holdings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. See “—A deterioration in economic conditions, a severe recession or a decline in home prices, all of which could be driven by many potential factors, may adversely affect our business, profitability and Enact Holdings’ loss experience.”

As seen prior to 2022, declining interest rates historically have increased the rate at which borrowers refinance their existing mortgages, resulting in cancellations of the mortgage insurance covering the refinanced loans. Declining interest rates have also contributed to home price appreciation, which may provide borrowers in the United States with the option of cancelling their mortgage insurance coverage earlier than we anticipated when pricing that coverage. Lower persistency rates can result in reduced insurance in-force and earned premiums, which could have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations. See “—A decrease in the volume of high loan-to-value home mortgage originations or an increase in the volume of mortgage insurance cancellations could result in a decline in Enact Holdings’ revenue.”

See “Part II—Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for additional information about interest rate risk.

Table of Contents

A deterioration in economic conditions, a severe recession or a decline in home prices, all of which could be driven by many potential factors, may adversely affect our business, profitability and Enact Holdings’ loss experience.

The U.S. economy faces lingering uncertainty due to continued inflationary and unemployment concerns, the geopolitical environment, U.S. national debt and ongoing budget deficits, changes in immigration policy and other macroeconomic concerns, including international trade and escalating tariffs. The potential of rising unemployment rates and deterioration in economic conditions across the United States or in specific regional economies generally increases the likelihood of borrower defaults and can adversely affect housing values, which increases our risk of loss. Loss experience in Enact Holdings generally results from adverse economic or other events, such as a borrower’s reduction of income, unemployment, underemployment, divorce, illness, inability to manage credit, or a change in interest rate levels or home values, that reduce a borrower’s willingness or ability to continue to make mortgage payments.

Housing values could be adversely impacted due to trends that affect the housing and mortgage markets, such as changes in supply or demand for homes, changes in homebuyers’ expectations for potential home price appreciation, increased restrictions or costs for obtaining mortgage credit due to tightened underwriting standards, tax policy, regulatory developments, higher interest rates and customers’ liquidity issues. Recent home price appreciation coupled with high interest rates has placed pressure on housing affordability. The pace of existing single-family home sales remains slow as homeowners are reluctant to sell their house and pay higher mortgage rates for a new one.

Should home values decline, Enact Holdings could experience a higher frequency and severity of defaults. A decline in home values typically makes it more difficult for borrowers to sell or refinance their homes, increasing the likelihood of a default followed by a claim if borrowers experience a job loss or other life events that reduce their incomes or increase their expenses. Declines in home values may also decrease the willingness of borrowers with sufficient financial resources to make mortgage payments when their mortgage balances exceed the values of their homes. In addition, declining housing values may impact the effectiveness of Enact Holdings’ loss mitigation programs, eroding the value of the underlying collateral and reducing the likelihood that properties with defaulted mortgages can be sold for an amount sufficient to offset the unpaid principal and interest. As a result, declines in home values may increase the risk of loss and typically increase the severity of claims Enact Holdings may pay.

The ultimate amount of the potential loss depends in part on whether the home of a borrower who defaults on a mortgage can be sold for an amount that will cover the unpaid principal balance, interest and the expenses of the sale. In previous economic slowdowns in the United States, a pronounced weakness in the housing market ensued, as well as declines in home prices driving high levels of delinquencies. If we experience a future economic slowdown or an economic recession in the United States that impacts the housing market in a similar way as compared to past economic slowdowns, we would expect higher levels of delinquencies in Enact Holdings.

Any of the events outlined above may have a material adverse effect on Enact Holdings, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

Regulatory and Legal Risks

Changes in accounting and reporting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard-setting bodies and insurance regulators could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our financial statements are subject to the application of U.S. GAAP, which is periodically revised and/or expanded. Accordingly, from time to time, we are required to adopt new or revised accounting standards issued by recognized authoritative bodies, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board. It is possible that future accounting and reporting standards we are required to adopt could change the current accounting treatment that we apply to our financial statements and that such changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, insurance regulators or the SEC could disagree with our interpretation of these new standards, which could cause us to incur significant costs and suffer reputational harm. In addition, the required adoption of future accounting and reporting standards may result in significant costs to implement. For example, see “Regulation—Other Laws and Regulations—Climate change and financial risks” for recently enacted and proposed climate disclosure laws and regulatory guidance. These requirements would likely require us to make significant changes to systems and controls, and add additional resources, either of which may be material to our business and results of operations.

Table of Contents

The inability to execute in-force management actions (including obtaining in-force rate actions) on our long-term care insurance products in Closed Block could have a material adverse impact on our business, including our results of operations and financial condition.

The continued sustainability of our legacy insurance subsidiaries is heavily dependent on our ability to continue to execute in-force management actions, such as obtaining significant premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions as part of our in-force rate action plan and implementing other reduced benefit options outside of the in-force rate action plan.

Although the terms of our long-term care insurance policies permit us to increase premiums under certain circumstances during the premium-paying period, these increases generally require regulatory approval, which can often take a long time to obtain and may not be obtained in all relevant jurisdictions or for the full amounts requested. In addition, some states have adopted or are considering adopting laws that would further limit increases in long-term care insurance premium rates beyond the statutes and regulations they had previously adopted, which would adversely impact our ability to achieve anticipated rate increases. Furthermore, some states have refused to approve actuarially justified rate actions or have required that approved rate actions be phased in over an extended period of time.

We will not be able to implement our future premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions in the future if we cannot obtain the required regulatory approvals. In this event, we would have to increase our long-term care insurance reserves in Closed Block by amounts that would likely be material and would result in a material adverse impact to earnings. Moreover, if we were to see unexpected, materially adverse experience, securing regulatory approval for all necessary premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions would become more difficult. Given the claims history in our long-term care insurance products in Closed Block and its related pressure to reserve levels and earnings, and the expectation that claims will continue to rise due to the aging of the block and from higher incidence and severity, among other factors, our results of operations, capital levels, RBC levels and financial condition would be materially adversely affected absent future premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions, and implementing other reduced benefit options.

Our policyholders may not react as anticipated to our in-force rate increases. In certain circumstances, our policyholders have brought legal action against us due to alleged misleading and inadequate disclosures regarding premium rate increases. See “—Litigation and regulatory investigations or other actions are common in the insurance business and may result in financial losses and harm our reputation” and “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Closed Block segment” for additional information.

We also plan to offer existing, and to design and implement additional, reduced benefit options outside of in-force rate actions to enhance sustainability of our legacy insurance subsidiaries. We may not be able to implement certain benefit reduction options outside of our in-force rate action plan, and any failure to do so could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our insurance businesses are extensively regulated and changes in regulation may reduce our profitability and limit our growth.

Our insurance operations are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations and are extensively regulated. State insurance laws regulate most aspects of our U.S. insurance businesses, and our insurance subsidiaries are regulated by the insurance departments of the states in which they are domiciled and licensed. Our international operations, predominantly located in Mexico as well as a subsidiary of Enact Holdings domiciled in Bermuda, are principally regulated by insurance regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which they are domiciled. Failure to comply with applicable regulations or to obtain or maintain appropriate authorizations or exemptions under any applicable laws could result in restrictions on our ability to do business or engage in activities regulated in one or more jurisdictions in which we operate and could subject us to fines and other sanctions which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the nature and extent of regulation of our activities in applicable jurisdictions could materially change, causing a material adverse effect on our business. Although future regulatory changes are unknown, we expect certain of our regulators to continue to pursue new regulation or supplement existing regulations in the areas of environmental, social and corporate governance, as well as cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.

Insurance regulatory authorities have broad administrative powers, which at times, are coordinated and communicated across regulatory bodies. These administrative powers include, but are not limited to:

•licensing companies and agents to transact business;

Table of Contents

•calculating the value of assets and determining the eligibility of assets to determine compliance with statutory requirements;

•mandating certain insurance benefits;

•regulating certain premium rates;

•reviewing and approving policy forms;

•regulating discrimination in pricing, coverage terms and other insurance practices, as well as unfair trade and claims practices, including through the imposition of restrictions on marketing and sales practices, distribution arrangements and payment of inducements;

•establishing and revising statutory capital and reserve requirements and solvency standards;

•fixing maximum interest rates on insurance policy loans and minimum rates for guaranteed crediting rates on life insurance policies and annuity contracts;

•approving premium increases and associated benefit reductions;

•evaluating enterprise risk to an insurer;

•approving changes in control of insurance companies;

•restricting the payment of dividends and other transactions between affiliates;

•regulating the types, amounts and valuation of investments;

•restricting the types of insurance products that may be offered; and

•imposing insurance eligibility criteria.

State insurance regulators and the NAIC regularly re-examine existing laws and regulations, specifically focusing on modifications to SAP, interpretations of existing laws and the development of new laws and regulations applicable to insurance companies and their products. Any adopted future legislation or regulations may be more restrictive on our ability to conduct business than current regulatory requirements or may result in higher costs or increased statutory capital and reserve requirements. Further, because laws and regulations can be complex and sometimes inexact, there is also a risk that any particular regulator’s or enforcement authority’s interpretation of a legal, accounting or reserving issue may change over time to our detriment or expose us to different or additional regulatory risks. The application of these regulations and guidelines by insurers involves interpretations and judgments that may differ from those of state insurance departments. Such differences of opinion may result in regulatory, tax or other challenges to the actions we have taken to date. The result of those potential challenges could require us to increase levels of statutory capital and reserves or incur higher operating costs and/or have implications on certain tax positions.

Litigation and regulatory investigations or other actions are common in the insurance business and may result in financial losses and harm our reputation.

In our insurance operations, we are, have been, or may become subject to class actions and individual suits alleging, among other things, issues relating to sales or underwriting practices, increases to in-force long-term care insurance premiums, payment of contingent or other sales commissions, claims payments and procedures, product design, product disclosure, product administration, additional premium charges for premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, charging excessive or impermissible fees on products, recommending unsuitable products to customers, our pricing structures and business practices in our mortgage insurance subsidiaries, such as captive reinsurance arrangements with lenders and contract underwriting services, violations of RESPA or related state anti-inducement laws, and mortgage insurance policy rescissions and curtailments, as well as breaching fiduciary or other duties to customers, including but not limited to cybersecurity breaches of customer information. We also from time to time have had, and may in the future have, disputes with reinsurance partners relating to the parties’ rights and obligations under reinsurance treaties and/or related administration agreements. In our investment-related operations, we are subject to litigation involving commercial disputes with counterparties. We are also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities such as our contractual and employment relationships, including claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and we are also subject to shareholder putative class action lawsuits alleging securities law violations. In addition, we are subject to

Table of Contents

various regulatory inquiries, such as information requests, subpoenas, books and record examinations and market conduct and financial examinations from state, federal and international regulators and other authorities.

Plaintiffs in class action and other lawsuits against us, as well as regulators, may seek very large or indeterminate amounts, which may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action (including uncertainty about the outcome of pending legal and regulatory investigations and actions) against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if we ultimately prevail in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we could suffer significant reputational harm and incur significant legal expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. At this time, it is not feasible to predict, nor determine, the ultimate outcomes of any pending investigations and legal proceedings, nor to provide reasonable ranges of possible losses other than those that have been disclosed.

For a further discussion of certain current investigations and proceedings in which we are involved, see note 22 in “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” These investigations and proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, business, financial condition or results of operations. It is also possible that we could become subject to further investigations and have lawsuits filed or enforcement actions initiated against us. In addition, increased regulatory scrutiny and any resulting investigations or legal proceedings could result in new legal precedents and industry-wide regulations or practices that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

An adverse change in the regulatory requirements on our legacy insurance subsidiaries, including risk-based capital requirements, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our legacy insurance subsidiaries and CareScout Insurance Company are subject to the NAIC’s RBC standards and other minimum statutory capital and surplus requirements imposed under the laws of their respective states of domicile. The failure of our insurance subsidiaries to meet applicable RBC requirements or minimum statutory capital and surplus requirements could subject our insurance subsidiaries to further examination or corrective action imposed by state insurance regulators, including limitations on their ability to write additional business, or the addition of state regulatory supervision, rehabilitation, seizure or liquidation.

As of December 31, 2025, the RBC ratio of each of our legacy insurance subsidiaries exceeded the level that would require any of them to take or become subject to any corrective action in their respective domiciliary state. However, we continue to face challenges in our legacy insurance subsidiaries, particularly those subsidiaries that rely heavily on in-force rate actions as a source of earnings and capital. We may see variability in statutory results and a decline in the RBC ratios of these subsidiaries given the time lag between the request for an in-force rate action and when the request is approved, and/or if approved, when the benefits from the in-force rate actions (including increased premiums and associated benefit reductions) are fully realized in our financial results. Additionally, the RBC ratio of our legacy insurance subsidiaries would be negatively impacted by future increases in our statutory reserves, including results of Actuarial Guideline 38, cash flow testing and assumption reviews, particularly in our long-term care and life insurance products.

An adverse change in our legacy insurance companies’ RBC ratios or our ability to meet other minimum regulatory requirements could cause rating agencies to downgrade the financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries and the credit ratings of Genworth Holdings, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to execute our strategic priorities, including maintaining self-sustaining legacy insurance subsidiaries and advancing CareScout’s new lines of business or new products and services, and would further restrict our ability to retain and write new business. Furthermore, it may cause regulators to take regulatory or supervisory actions with respect to our legacy insurance subsidiaries, thereby limiting the financial flexibility of our holding company, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business.

Changes to the charters or practices of the GSEs, including actions or decisions to decrease or discontinue the use of mortgage insurance, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The requirements and practices of the GSEs impact the operating results and financial performance of GSE-approved mortgage insurers, including Enact Holdings. Changes in the charters or practices of Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae could materially reduce the number of mortgages they purchase that are insured by Enact Holdings. The GSEs could be directed to make such changes by the FHFA, which was appointed as their conservator in September 2008 and has the authority to control and direct the operations of the GSEs. Congress may legislate, or the U.S. Administration may implement through

Table of Contents

administrative reform, structural and other changes to the GSEs and the functioning of the secondary mortgage market. In the absence of legislation and actions by the U.S. Administration, the FHFA continues to move forward on administrative reform efforts to prepare the GSEs for the end of conservatorship, once fully and adequately capitalized. Collectively, the FHFA and the U.S. Treasury Department possess significant capacity to effect administrative GSE reforms.

The FHFA’s Enterprise Capital Framework imposes a capital framework on the GSEs, including risk-based and leverage capital requirements and capital buffers in excess of regulatory minimums that can be drawn down in periods of financial stress. The Enterprise Capital Framework became effective on February 16, 2021. However, the GSEs will not be subject to any requirement under the Enterprise Capital Framework until the applicable compliance date. Compliance with the Enterprise Capital Framework, other than the requirements to maintain a prescribed capital conservation buffer amount (“PCCBA”) and a prescribed leverage buffer amount (“PLBA”), is required on the later of (i) the date of termination of the conservatorship of a GSE or (ii) any later compliance date provided in a consent order or other transition order applicable to such GSE. The FHFA contemplates that the compliance dates for the PCCBA and the PLBA will be the date of termination of the conservatorship of a GSE. The Enterprise Capital Framework’s advanced approaches requirements will be delayed until a compliance date provided by a transition order applicable to such GSE. The Enterprise Capital Framework significantly increases capital requirements and reduces capital credit on credit risk transfer transactions as compared to the previous framework. This could cause the GSEs to increase their guarantee pricing in order to meet the new capital requirements, which could have a negative impact on the private mortgage insurance market and our business. Furthermore, higher GSE capital requirements could ultimately lead to increased costs to borrowers for GSE loans, which in turn could shift the market away from the GSEs to the FHA or lender portfolios. Such a shift could result in a smaller market size for private mortgage insurance. This rule could also accelerate the diversification of the GSEs’ risk transfer programs to encompass a broader array of instruments beyond private mortgage insurance, which could adversely impact Enact Holdings and our business.

On January 14, 2021, the FHFA and the U.S. Treasury Department agreed to amend the preferred stock purchase agreements (“PSPAs”) between the U.S. Treasury Department and each of the GSEs to increase the amount of capital each GSE may retain. Among other things, the amendments to the PSPAs limit the number of certain mortgages the GSEs may acquire with two or more prescribed risk factors, including certain mortgages with combined loan-to-value ratios above 90%. However, on September 14, 2021, the FHFA and U.S. Treasury Department suspended certain provisions of the amendments to the PSPAs, including the limit on the number of mortgages with two or more risk factors that the GSEs may acquire. Such suspensions end six months after the U.S. Treasury Department notifies the GSEs of termination. The limit on the number of mortgages with two or more risk factors was based on the market size at the time. While Enact Holdings does not expect any material impact to the private mortgage market, changes in the provisions or enforcement of this rule could impact our results of operations.

On January 2, 2025, the FHFA and the U.S. Treasury Department agreed to again amend the PSPAs between the U.S. Treasury Department and each of the GSEs to establish a methodical process for eventual public input on the termination of conservatorship to minimize disruption to the housing and financial markets.

The adoption of any GSE reform, whether through legislation or administrative action, could impact the current role of private mortgage insurance as credit enhancement, which would have an adverse effect on our business, revenue, results of operations and financial condition. At present, it is uncertain what role private capital, including mortgage insurance, will play in the U.S. residential housing finance system in the future or the impact any such changes could have on our business. Any changes to the charters or statutory authorities of the GSEs would require congressional action to implement. Any such changes that occur could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The FHFA has set goals for the GSEs to transfer significant portions of the GSEs’ mortgage credit risk to the private sector. This mandate builds upon the goal established by the GSEs to increase the role of private capital through experimenting with different forms of transactions and structures. Enact Holdings participates in credit risk transfer programs developed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The GSEs have in the past piloted and may in the future attempt to launch alternative products or transactions that compete with private mortgage insurance. To the extent these credit risk products evolve in a manner that displaces primary mortgage insurance coverage, the amount of insurance Enact Holdings writes may be reduced. It is difficult to predict the impact of alternative credit risk transfer products that are developed to meet the goals established by the FHFA.

Table of Contents

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac also possess substantial market power, which enables them to influence Enact Holdings and the mortgage insurance industry in general, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If Enact is unable to continue to meet the requirements mandated by PMIERs because the GSEs amend them or the GSEs’ interpretation of the financial requirements requires Enact to hold amounts of capital that are higher than planned or otherwise, Enact may not be eligible to write new insurance on loans acquired by the GSEs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In furtherance of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s respective charter requirements, each GSE adopted PMIERs effective December 31, 2015. The GSEs have since amended PMIERs on several occasions. For a discussion of PMIERs requirements and recent amendments to PMIERs, see “Regulation—Enact—Mortgage Insurance Regulation—Other U.S. regulation and agency qualification requirements.”

The amount of capital that may be required to maintain the Minimum Required Assets, as defined in PMIERs, is dependent upon, among other things: (i) the way PMIERs are applied and interpreted by the GSEs and the FHFA; (ii) future PMIERs amendments; (iii) the future performance of the U.S. housing market; (iv) Enact Holdings’ generation of earnings, available assets and minimum required assets, reducing risk in-force and reducing delinquencies as anticipated, and writing anticipated amounts and types of new mortgage insurance business; and (v) Enact Holdings’ overall financial performance, capital and liquidity levels. More specifically, Enact Holdings’ subsidiaries’ ability to continue to meet the PMIERs financial requirements and maintain a prudent amount of capital in excess of those requirements, given the dynamic nature of asset valuations and requirement changes over time, is dependent upon, among other things: (i) Enact Holdings’ ability to complete credit risk transfer transactions on its anticipated terms and timetable, which as applicable, are subject to market conditions, third-party approvals and other actions (including approval by the GSEs), and other factors that are outside its control; and (ii) Enact Holdings’ ability to contribute its holding company cash or other sources of capital to satisfy the portion of the financial requirements that are not satisfied through credit risk transfer transactions.

Although we believe Enact Holdings has sufficient capital as required under PMIERs and it remains an approved insurer, it is possible these conditions may not continue. In addition, Enact Holdings may not continue to meet the conditions contained in the GSE letters granting PMIERs credit for reinsurance and other credit risk transfer transactions including, but not limited to, its ability to remain below a statutory risk-to-capital ratio of 18:1. The GSEs also reserve the right to re-evaluate the credit for reinsurance and other credit risk transfer transactions available under PMIERs. Freddie Mac has also imposed additional requirements on Enact’s option to commute its reinsurance agreements. If Enact is unable to continue to meet the requirements mandated by PMIERs, or any additional restrictions which may be imposed on Enact by the GSEs, whether because the GSEs amend them or the GSEs’ interpretation of the financial requirements requires Enact to hold amounts of capital that are higher than planned or otherwise, Enact may not be eligible to write new insurance on loans acquired by the GSEs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, compliance with PMIERs requires Enact Holdings to seek the GSEs’ prior approval before taking many actions, including implementing certain new products or services or entering into intercompany agreements, among others. PMIERs’ approval requirements could prohibit, materially modify or delay Enact Holdings’ intended course of action. Further, the GSEs may modify or change their interpretation of terms they require Enact Holdings to include in its mortgage insurance coverage for loans purchased by the GSEs, requiring Enact Holdings to modify its terms of coverage or operational procedures to remain an approved insurer, and such changes could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and operating results. It is possible the GSEs could, at their discretion, require additional limitations and/or conditions on Enact Holdings’ activities and practices that are not currently in PMIERs in order for Enact Holdings to remain an approved insurer. Additional requirements or conditions imposed by the GSEs could limit Enact Holdings’ operating flexibility and the areas in which it may write new business. Any of these events would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Enact Holdings’ U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries are subject to minimum statutory capital requirements, which if not met or waived, would result in restrictions or prohibitions on them doing business and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition to PMIERs, mortgage insurers are required by certain states and other regulators to maintain a minimum amount of statutory capital relative to their level of risk in-force. While formulations of minimum capital vary in certain

Table of Contents

states, the most common measure applied allows for a maximum permitted risk-to-capital ratio of 25:1. If one of Enact Holdings’ U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries that is writing business in a particular state fails to maintain that state’s required minimum capital level, it would generally be required to immediately stop writing new business in the state until the insurer re-establishes the required level of capital or receives a waiver of the requirement from the state’s insurance regulator, or until it establishes an alternative source of underwriting capacity acceptable to the regulator. If Enact Holdings’ insurance subsidiaries exceed required risk-to-capital levels in the future, Enact Holdings and Genworth Financial would seek required regulatory and GSE forbearance and approvals or seek approval for the utilization of alternative insurance vehicles. However, such forbearance and approvals may not be obtained or may be obtained on unfavorable terms.

In August 2023, the NAIC adopted amendments to the MGI Model Act and is in the process of making conforming revisions to Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 58—Mortgage Guaranty Insurance. The revisions to the MGI Model Act are extensive, including with respect to risk concentration limits, capital and reserve requirements, reinsurance, underwriting practices and quality assurance. At this time, we cannot predict which states, if any, will adopt the amended MGI Model Act or any of its specific provisions, the effect changes in the MGI Model Act will have on the mortgage guaranty insurance market generally, or on our business specifically, the additional costs associated with compliance with any such changes, or any changes to our operations that may be necessary to comply, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We also cannot predict whether other regulatory initiatives will be adopted or what impact, if any, such initiatives, if adopted as laws, may have on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Changes in regulations that adversely affect the mortgage insurance markets in which Enact Holdings operates could affect its operations significantly and could reduce the demand for mortgage insurance.

In addition to the general regulatory risks that are described under “—Our insurance businesses are extensively regulated and changes in regulation may reduce our profitability and limit our growth,” we are also affected, through our ownership of Enact Holdings, by various additional regulations related specifically to mortgage insurance operations.

Federal and state regulations affect the scope of competitor operations, which influences the size of the mortgage insurance market and the intensity of the competition. This competition includes not only other private mortgage insurers, but also federal and state governmental and quasi-governmental agencies, principally the FHA and the VA, which are governed by federal regulations. Increases in the maximum loan amount that the FHA can insure, and reductions in the mortgage insurance premiums the FHA charges, can reduce the demand for private mortgage insurance. Decreases in the maximum loan amounts or maximum loan-to-value ratio of loans the GSEs will purchase or guarantee or increases in GSE fees can also reduce demand for private mortgage insurance. Legislative, regulatory or administrative changes could cause demand for private mortgage insurance to decrease.

Enact Holdings and its U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries, as credit enhancement providers in the residential mortgage lending industry, are also subject to compliance with or otherwise impacted by various federal and state consumer protection and insurance laws, including RESPA, the Fair Housing Act, HOPA and FCRA, among others. Changes in these laws or regulations, changes in the appropriate regulator’s interpretation of these laws or regulations or heightened enforcement activity could materially adversely affect the operations and profitability of Enact Holdings.

Dodd-Frank Act Risk Retention

The Dodd-Frank Act requires an originator or issuer to retain a specified percentage of the credit risk exposure on securitized mortgages that do not meet the definition of a Qualified Residential Mortgage (“QRM”), which aligns with the definition of a QM. If the QRM definition is changed in a manner that is unfavorable to Enact Holdings, such as to require a large down payment for a loan to qualify as a QRM, without considering mortgage insurance in computing loan-to-value ratios, the attractiveness of originating and securitizing loans with lower down payments may be reduced, which may adversely affect the future demand for mortgage insurance.

Basel III

Basel III, issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision following the financial crisis of 2008, established RBC and leverage capital requirements for most U.S. banking organizations (although banks with less than $10.0 billion in total assets may choose to comply with an alternative community bank leverage ratio framework established by the Federal Banking Agencies in 2019). In 2013, the U.S. federal banking regulators confirmed the role of mortgage insurance as a component of prudential bank regulation for high loan-to-value mortgages. In July 2023, the U.S. Federal Reserve, the

Table of Contents

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency proposed for comment the Basel III Endgame rule. As originally proposed, the rule would have eliminated the 50% risk-based capital benefit for high loan-to-value portfolio loans with mortgage insurance for banking organizations with $100.0 billion or more of total assets, which, if adopted could reduce demand for mortgage insurance. Since the Basel III Endgame proposal was issued, U.S. banking regulators have since withdrawn that proposal and indicated that the standard will be re-proposed with significant revisions. As a result, the timing, substance and ultimate impact of the Basel III Endgame rule on financial institutions and the mortgage insurance market remain uncertain.

Our legacy insurance subsidiaries may not be able to continue to mitigate the impact of Regulations XXX or AXXX and, therefore, they may incur higher operating costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have increased term and universal life insurance statutory reserves in response to Regulations XXX and AXXX and have taken steps to mitigate the impact these regulations have had on our business, including increasing premium rates and implementing reserve funding structures. One way that we and other insurance companies have mitigated the impact of these regulations is through captive reinsurance companies. If we were to discontinue our use of captive life reinsurance subsidiaries to finance statutory reserves in response to regulatory changes on a prospective basis, the reasonably likely impact would be increased costs related to alternative financing, such as third-party reinsurance, which would adversely impact our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we cannot be certain that affordable alternative financing would be available.

While we are no longer writing new life insurance business, we may not be able to continue to implement actions to mitigate the impacts of Regulations XXX or AXXX on our in-force term and universal life insurance products which are not currently part of reserve funding structures, or which may be part of existing reserve arrangements and need refinancing.

Additionally, there may be future regulatory, tax or other impacts to existing reserve funding structures and/or future refinancing, which could require us to increase statutory reserves or incur higher operating and/or tax costs.

Operational Risks

If we are unable to retain, attract and motivate qualified employees or senior management, our results of operations, financial condition and business operations may be adversely impacted.

Our success is largely dependent on our ability to retain, attract and motivate qualified employees and senior management. We face intense competition in our industry for key employees with demonstrated ability, including actuarial, finance, legal, investment, risk, compliance, technology and other professional skills. On top of recruitment challenges associated with the ongoing labor shortage and low labor participation rate, our ability to attract, recruit, retain and motivate experienced and qualified employees may be adversely impacted by current and prospective employees’ perception of the inherent risks involved with Genworth’s strategic growth initiatives. Furthermore, work arrangements, such as remote work environments, have become more flexible and commonplace, which could further challenge our ability to compete for qualified employees. A remote work environment has expanded competition among employers, which has likely exacerbated the battle for talent in an already tight labor market. We may not be able to attract, retain and motivate the desired workforce, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business operations. In addition, we may not be able to meet regulatory requirements relating to required expertise in various professional positions.

Managing key employee succession and retention is also critical to our success. While we have succession plans and long-term compensation plans, including retention programs, designed to retain our employees, our succession plans may not operate effectively, and we would be adversely affected if we fail to adequately plan for the succession of our senior management and other key employees. Moreover, our compensation plans cannot guarantee that the services of these employees will continue to be available to us.

Changes in the composition of Enact Holdings’ business or undue concentration by customer or geographic region could cause a significant loss of business or adverse performance of a small segment of its portfolio.

Our businesses depend on our relationships with our customers, and in particular, our relationships with our largest lending customers in Enact Holdings. Customers place private mortgage insurance provided by Enact Holdings directly on loans they originate and indirectly through purchases of loans that already have mortgage insurance coverage provided by Enact Holdings. Customer relationships may influence the amount of direct business written with Enact Holdings and the customers’ willingness to continue to approve Enact Holdings as a mortgage insurance provider for loans they purchase. In 2025, Enact Holdings’ largest customer accounted for 22% of its total new insurance written and 12% of its total revenues. Its top five customers generated 33% of its new insurance written in 2025. An inability to maintain a relationship with one or more of these customers could have an adverse effect on the amount of new business Enact Holdings is able to write and consequently, our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, customer concentration may adversely affect our financial condition if a significant customer chooses to increase its use of other mortgage insurers, merges with a competitor or exits the mortgage finance business, chooses alternatives to mortgage insurance or experiences a decrease in its business. Loss of business from significant customers, or any single customer, may not be replaced by business from other customers, existing or new. As a result of market conditions or changes in regulatory requirements, Enact Holdings’ lending customers may decide to write business only with a limited number of mortgage insurers or only with certain mortgage insurers.

Geographic concentration in Enact Holdings’ mortgage portfolio increases its exposure to losses due to localized economic conditions. Enact Holdings seeks to diversify its insured loan portfolio geographically; however, customer concentration might lead to concentrations in specific regions in the United States.

Our businesses could be adversely impacted if our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting are not effective.

The design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all errors, misstatements or misrepresentations. While management continually reviews the effectiveness of internal controls, it is possible that they may not be effective in fully accomplishing our control objectives. Any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, such as those we have reported in the past, or any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures could result in material errors or restatements in our historical financial statements or untimely filings, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, that would result in a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

Our computer systems, as well as those of our third-party service providers, have experienced failures or security compromises in the past and may do so again in the future, including as a result of cybersecurity incidents; we may experience issues from new and complex technology methodologies such as artificial intelligence; and unanticipated problems could materially adversely impact our disaster recovery systems and business continuity plans, any of which could expose confidential information such as personal information of our customers or employees, damage our reputation, impair our ability to conduct business effectively, result in enforcement action or litigation, and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems. We also have arrangements in place with our partners and other third-party service providers through which we share and receive information. We rely on these systems throughout our business for a variety of functions, including processing claims and applications, providing information to customers and distributors, performing actuarial analyses and maintaining financial records. We have implemented and maintain what we believe to be reasonable security controls and back-up measures, but despite this, our computer systems and those of our partners and third-party service providers have been, and may in the future be, vulnerable to physical or electronic intrusions, computer malware, malicious code or other attacks, system failures, programming errors, employee and third-party errors or wrongdoing, and similar disruption or adverse outcomes. The failure of these systems for any reason could cause significant interruptions to our operations, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Technology continues to evolve and plays an ever-increasing role in our business. While it is our goal to safeguard information assets from physical theft and cybersecurity threats including by preventing cybersecurity incidents, our information security measures may not detect, and protect information assets from, or fully mitigate, these ever-increasing

Table of Contents

risks. Information assets include both information itself in the form of computer data, written materials, knowledge and supporting processes, and the technology systems, networks, other electronic devices and storage media used to store, process, retrieve and transmit that information. As more information is used and shared by our employees, customers and suppliers, both within and outside our company, cybersecurity threats become expansive in nature. Additionally, cybersecurity threats have continued to grow in sophistication, in part through the deployment of artificial intelligence technologies. The confidentiality, integrity and availability of information are essential to maintaining our reputation and ability to conduct our operations. Although we have implemented controls and continue to train our employees and conduct cybersecurity-related due diligence on third-party service providers, a cybersecurity event could still occur and could go undetected for an extended period of time, either of which would cause damage to our reputation with our customers, distributors and other stakeholders, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, especially if the amount of insurance coverage we maintain is not sufficient to cover claims or liabilities from an incident, or expose us to litigation or other enforcement actions.

We retain large volumes of customer data and other confidential information in our computer systems, and we rely on commercial technologies to maintain the security, integrity and availability of those systems, including computers and mobile devices. Anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures and penetrate our computer systems or misuse authorized access could access, view, misappropriate, alter, delete or disclose any information in the systems, including personal information, personal health information and proprietary business information. Our employees, distribution partners and other vendors use portable computers or mobile devices which may contain similar information to that in our computer systems, and these devices have been and can be lost, stolen or damaged, and therefore subject to the same risks as our other computer systems. In addition, an increasing number of states and foreign countries require that affected parties be notified or other actions be taken (which could involve significant costs to us) if a security breach results in the unlawful disclosure of personal information. We have experienced occasional, actual or attempted breaches of our cybersecurity, although to date, none of these breaches has had a material effect on our business, operations or reputation. Any compromise of the security of our computer systems or those of our partners and third-party service providers that results in the unauthorized disclosure of customer personal information or other sensitive business information could damage our reputation in the marketplace, deter people from purchasing our products, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and significant civil and criminal liability and require us to incur significant technical, legal and other expenses.

Cybersecurity, data privacy and artificial intelligence risks and uncertainties have come under increased scrutiny in recent years, with various countries, government agencies and insurance regulators introducing and/or passing legislation in an attempt to safeguard personal information from escalating cybersecurity threats and other unknown risks and uncertainties, as well as to ensure the responsible use of artificial intelligence. For additional details, see “Regulation—Other Laws and Regulations—Privacy and cybersecurity” and “Regulation—Other Laws and Regulations—Artificial intelligence.” We have implemented internal policies, practices and controls designed to comply with applicable data privacy and security laws. Additional and evolving regulatory requirements and compliance obligations may increase our operational complexity and costs. Moreover, artificial intelligence technologies offer numerous potential benefits (e.g., creating or increasing operational efficiencies), but deployment of such technologies also poses certain risks, including that they may be misused, or the models or datasets on which the models are trained may be flawed or otherwise may function in an unexpected manner. Failure, by us or any third party on which we rely, to comply with applicable data privacy and data protection laws, regulations and rules may result in enforcement action, litigation, monetary fines or other penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and reputation. With respect to artificial intelligence, the relative newness of the technology, the speed at which it is being adopted, and the relative paucity of artificial intelligence-specific regulations and standards, combined with the increased interest of legislators and potentially conflicting proposed artificial intelligence-related legislation across jurisdictions, increases these risks. For additional details on our cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance, see “Item 1C—Cybersecurity.”

In addition, unanticipated problems with, or failures of, our disaster recovery systems and business continuity plans could have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct business and on our results of operations and financial condition, particularly if those problems affect our technology systems and destroy, lose or otherwise compromise the integrity or availability of valuable data. Furthermore, in the event of a failure in telecommunications or other critical infrastructure, or that a significant number of our employees were unavailable in the event of a disaster or a pandemic, our ability to effectively conduct business could be severely compromised. The failure of our disaster recovery systems and business continuity plans could adversely impact our profitability and our business.

We rely upon third-party vendors who may be unable or unwilling to meet their obligations to us.

We rely on third-party vendors to efficiently execute in-house processes and other outsourcing arrangements, as well as to provide unique or cost-efficient products or services. We rely on the controls and risk management processes of these third parties. Our reliance on third-party vendors that we do not control does not relieve us of our responsibilities and requirements. While we have certain contractual protections and perform third-party vendor due diligence procedures, it is possible that third-party vendors may not provide accurate and complete information to us, maintain adequate internal controls, meet their obligations on a timely basis and adhere to the provisions of our agreements. If any third-party provider (or such third party’s supplier, vendor or subcontractor) experiences any deficiency in internal controls, determines that its practices and procedures used in providing services to us (including administering any of our policies) require review, or it otherwise fails to provide services to us in accordance with appropriate standards, we could incur expenses and experience other adverse effects as a result. Additionally, if a third-party vendor is unable to source and maintain a capable workforce or supply us with contractors during times of peak volume, then we may be unable to satisfy our customer obligations and/or regulatory reporting requirements. In addition, some third-party vendors may provide unique services and the loss of those services may be difficult to replace and/or the cost to receive the third-party services may be significant, including conversion costs to establish the appropriate technology infrastructure. Any of the above scenarios could lead to reputational damage and/or an adverse financial impact, including the imposition of penalties or being subject to litigation costs.

Insurance and Product-Related Risks

Enact Holdings may be unable to maintain or increase capital in its mortgage insurance subsidiaries in a timely manner, on anticipated terms or at all, including through improved business performance, reinsurance or similar transactions, securities offerings or otherwise, in each case as and when required.

Enact Holdings may require incremental capital to support its growth, meet regulatory or GSE capital requirements, comply with rating agency criteria to maintain ratings, repay its debt, operate and meet unexpected cash flow obligations. Our ability to support the capital needs of Enact Holdings is limited. Accordingly, we are largely reliant on Enact Holdings to support its own capital needs. Furthermore, our current plans do not include any additional minority sales resulting in Genworth owning less than 80% of Enact Holdings, and accordingly, Enact Holdings’ ability to raise additional capital by issuing its stock to third parties is limited. Enact Holdings’ inability to fund or raise the capital required in the anticipated timeframes and on the anticipated terms, including refinancing its existing debt, could cause a reduction in its business levels or subject it to a variety of regulatory actions, which would have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, the implementation of any further credit risk transfer transactions or other transactions with third parties to provide additional capital depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to, market conditions, necessary third-party approvals (including approval by regulators and the GSEs) and other factors which are outside Enact Holdings’ control. Therefore, Enact Holdings may not be able to successfully implement these actions on the anticipated timetable and terms, or at all. Even if Enact Holdings is able to successfully implement these actions, it may not be able to achieve the anticipated benefits from the actions.

Reinsurance may not be available, affordable or adequate to protect us against losses.

As part of our overall risk and capital management strategy, we purchase reinsurance from external reinsurers, use credit risk transfer transactions and provide internal reinsurance support for certain risks underwritten by our various business segments. These reinsurance arrangements and credit risk transfer transactions are intended to enable our businesses to transfer risks in exchange for some of the associated economic benefits and, as a result, improve our statutory capital position, manage risk to within our tolerance level and improve the PMIERs position of Enact Holdings. The availability and cost of reinsurance protection are impacted by our operating and financial performance, including ratings, as well as conditions beyond our control, including changes in regulation. For example, our legacy insurance subsidiaries’ low financial strength ratings may reduce the availability of certain types of reinsurance and have made it more costly when it is available, as reinsurers have been less willing to take on credit risk in the volatile market. Accordingly, we may continue to be forced into incurring additional expenses for reinsurance and/or we may not be able to obtain new reinsurance or renew existing reinsurance arrangements on acceptable terms, or at all, which could increase our risk and adversely affect our ability to obtain statutory capital credit for new reinsurance or could require us to make capital contributions to maintain regulatory capital requirements. Moreover, absent the availability and affordability to enter into

new credit risk transfer transactions, the ability of Enact Holdings to obtain PMIERs or statutory credit for new transactions would be adversely impacted. See “—If Enact is unable to continue to meet the requirements mandated by PMIERs because the GSEs amend them or the GSEs’ interpretation of the financial requirements requires Enact to hold amounts of capital that are higher than planned or otherwise, Enact may not be eligible to write new insurance on loans acquired by the GSEs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.”

We also manage risk and capital in our long-term care insurance products through utilization of external reinsurance in the form of coinsurance. Our legacy insurance subsidiaries have executed external reinsurance agreements to reinsure some of their older blocks of long-term care insurance products (10% of new business issued from 2003 to 2008; 20% to 30% of new business issued from 2009 to 2011; and 40% of new business issued from 2011 to early 2013). We also have external reinsurance on some older blocks of business which includes a treaty on a yearly renewable term basis on business that was written between 1998 and 2003. This yearly renewable term reinsurance provides coverage for claims on those policies for 15 years after the policy was written. After 15 years, reinsurance coverage ends for policies not on claim, while reinsurance coverage continues for policies on claim until the claim ends. The 15-year coverage on the policies written in 2003 expired in 2018; therefore, any new claims will not have reinsurance coverage under this treaty. Since 2013, we have seen, and may continue to see, an increase in our benefit costs as policies with reinsurance coverage exhaust their benefits or terminate and policies which are not covered by reinsurance go on claim. Over time, affordable or any reinsurance may not continue to be available.

A decrease in the volume of high loan-to-value home mortgage originations or an increase in the volume of mortgage insurance cancellations could result in a decline in Enact Holdings’ revenue.

Enact Holdings provides mortgage insurance primarily for high loan-to-value mortgages, a decline in the volume of which would reduce the demand for mortgage insurance. Factors that could lead to a decrease in the volume of high loan-to-value mortgage originations include, but are not limited to:

•an increase in home mortgage interest rates;

•limitations on the tax benefits of homeownership and mortgage interest;

•implementation of more rigorous mortgage lending regulation;

•a decline in economic conditions generally, or in conditions in regional and local economies;

•events outside of Enact Holdings’ control, including natural and man-made disasters and pandemics adversely affecting housing markets and home buying;

•the level of consumer confidence, which may be adversely affected by economic instability, war or terrorist events;

•an increase in the price of homes relative to income levels;

•a lack of housing supply at lower home prices;

•adverse population trends, including lower homeownership rates;

•high rates of home price appreciation, which for refinancings affect whether refinanced loans have loan-to-value ratios that require mortgage insurance; and

•changes in government housing policy encouraging loans to first-time home buyers.

As Enact Holdings recognizes a significant percentage of its earned premiums from insurance policies written in previous years, the length of time insurance remains in-force is an important determinant of Genworth’s mortgage insurance revenues. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and many other mortgage investors generally permit a borrower to ask the loan servicer to cancel the borrower’s obligation to pay for mortgage insurance when the principal amount of the mortgage

Table of Contents

falls below 80% of the home’s value. Factors that tend to reduce the length of time our mortgage insurance remains in-force include:

•declining interest rates, which may result in the refinancing of the mortgages underlying the insurance policies with new mortgage loans that may not require mortgage insurance or that Enact Holdings does not insure;

•customer concentration levels with certain customers that actively market refinancing opportunities to their existing borrowers;

•significant appreciation in the value of homes, which causes the unpaid balance of the mortgage to decrease below 80% of the value of the home and enables the borrower to request cancellation of the mortgage insurance; and

•changes in mortgage insurance cancellation requirements or procedures of the GSEs or under applicable law.

Enact Holdings has experienced elevated persistency since 2022 primarily as a result of the higher interest rate environment in response to inflationary pressures. Higher persistency on certain higher-risk products could have a material adverse effect if claims generated by such products increase, while a decrease in persistency generally would reduce the amount of Enact Holdings’ insurance in-force.

A decline in the volume of high loan-to-value mortgage originations, changes in the methodology by which servicers determine the cancellation dates of mortgage insurance and changes in persistency could have a material adverse effect on Enact Holdings and our financial condition and results of operations.

The amount of mortgage insurance written by Enact Holdings could decline significantly if alternatives to private mortgage insurance are used or lower coverage levels of mortgage insurance are selected.

There are a variety of alternatives to private mortgage insurance that may reduce the amount of mortgage insurance written by Enact Holdings. These alternatives include:

•originating mortgages that consist of two simultaneous loans, known as “simultaneous seconds,” comprising a first mortgage with a loan-to-value ratio of 80% and a simultaneous second mortgage for the excess portion of the loan, instead of a single mortgage with a loan-to-value ratio of more than 80%;

•using government mortgage insurance programs;

•holding mortgages in the lenders’ own loan portfolios and self-insuring;

•using programs, such as those offered by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the United States, requiring lower mortgage insurance coverage levels;

•originating and securitizing loans in mortgage-backed securities whose underlying mortgages are not insured with private mortgage insurance or which are structured so that the risk of default lies with the investor, rather than a private mortgage insurer; and

•using risk-sharing insurance programs, credit default swaps or similar instruments, instead of private mortgage insurance, to transfer credit risk on mortgages.

If one or more of the alternatives described above, or new alternatives that enter the market, are chosen over private mortgage insurance, Enact Holdings’ revenue could be adversely impacted. The loss of business in general or the specific loss of more profitable business in Enact Holdings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, Enact Holdings competes with the FHA and the VA, as well as certain local- and state-level housing finance agencies. Separately, the GSEs compete with Enact Holdings through certain of their risk-sharing insurance programs. Those competitors may establish pricing terms and business practices that may be influenced by motives such as advancing social housing policy or stabilizing the mortgage lending industry, which may not be consistent with maximizing return on capital or other profitability measures. In addition, those governmental enterprises typically do not have the same capital requirements or cost of capital that Enact Holdings and other mortgage insurance companies have and therefore may have financial flexibility in their pricing and capacity that could put Enact Holdings at a competitive disadvantage. In the event that one of these enterprises decides to change prices significantly or alter the terms and conditions of its mortgage insurance or other credit enhancement products in furtherance of social or other goals rather than

Table of Contents

a profit or risk management motive, Enact Holdings may be unable to compete effectively, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “—Changes to the charters or practices of the GSEs, including actions or decisions to decrease or discontinue the use of mortgage insurance, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

Enact Holdings’ delegated underwriting and loss mitigation programs may subject its mortgage insurance subsidiaries to unanticipated claims.

Certain of Enact Holdings’ customers commit Enact Holdings to insure loans that use its pre-established guidelines under delegated underwriting authority. Delegated underwriting represented approximately 73% and 71% of Enact Holdings’ total new insurance written by loan count for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Once a customer is accepted into Enact Holdings’ delegated underwriting program, a loan originated by that customer is generally insured without validating the accuracy of the data submitted, investigating for fraud or reviewing to ensure the customer followed the pre-established delegated underwriting guidelines. Under this program, it is possible a customer could commit Enact Holdings to insure a material number of loans that would fail Enact Holdings’ pre-established guidelines for delegated underwriting but pass its model, among other criteria, before Enact Holdings discovers the problem and terminates the customer’s delegated underwriting authority. Although coverage on such loans may be rescindable or otherwise limited under the terms of Enact Holdings’ master policies, the burden of establishing the right to rescind or deny coverage lies with the insurer. To the extent that Enact Holdings’ customers exceed their delegated underwriting authorities, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Enact Holdings has delegated to the GSEs, which have in turn delegated to most of their servicers, the authority to accept modifications, short sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure on loans Enact Holdings insures. Servicers are required to operate under protocols established by the GSEs in accepting these loss mitigation alternatives. Enact Holdings depends on servicers in making these decisions and mitigating its exposure to losses. In some cases, loss mitigation decisions favorable to the GSEs may not be favorable to Enact Holdings and may increase the incidence of paid claims. Inappropriate delegation protocols or failure of servicers to service in accordance with the protocols may increase the magnitude of Enact Holdings’ losses and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Enact Holdings’ delegation of loss mitigation decisions to the GSEs is subject to cancellation, but exercise of these cancellation rights may have an adverse effect on Enact Holdings’ relationship with the GSEs and customers.

Medical advances, such as genetic research and diagnostic imaging, emerging new technology, including artificial intelligence and related legislation, could materially adversely affect the financial performance of our life insurance, long-term care insurance and annuity products.

Genetic testing research and discovery is advancing at a rapid pace. In addition, future reliance on new artificial intelligence methodologies may drastically change medical research and science. Though some of this medical research is focused on identifying the genes associated with rare diseases, much of the research is focused on identifying the genes associated with an increased risk of various common diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Diagnostic testing utilizing various blood panels or imaging techniques, including the use of artificial intelligence, may allow clinicians to detect similar diseases during an earlier treatment phase and prescribe more acute medicine or treatments. We believe that if an individual learns through such testing that they are predisposed to a condition that may reduce their life expectancy or increase their chances of requiring long-term care, they potentially will be more likely to purchase life and long-term care insurance policies or avoid lapsing their existing policy. In contrast, if an individual learns that they lack the genetic predisposition to develop the conditions that reduce longevity or require long-term care, they potentially will be less likely to purchase life and long-term care insurance products or allow their life and long-term care insurance policies to lapse but would be more likely to purchase certain annuity products.

Being able to access and use the medical information (including the results of genetic research, diagnostic testing and artificial intelligence methodologies) known to CareScout Insurance’s prospective policyholders and our legacy insurance subsidiaries’ policyholders at the time their products were priced is important to ensure that an underwriting risk assessment matches the anticipated risk priced into our life and long-term care insurance products, as well as our annuity products. Currently, there are some state level restrictions related to an insurer’s access and use of genetic information, and periodically new genetic testing legislation is being introduced. However, further restrictions on the access and use of such medical information could create a mismatch between an assessed risk and the product pricing for CareScout Insurance. Such a mismatch has the potential to increase product pricing causing a decrease in sales to lower risk individuals resulting in higher risk individuals becoming the more likely buyer. In addition, it is possible that regulators may enforce anti-

Table of Contents

discrimination provisions even when medical information is available that indicates a purchaser is at higher risk. The net result of this could cause a deterioration in the risk profile of our CareScout Insurance portfolio which could lead to payments to our policyholders and contractholders that are materially higher than anticipated. Any of these events could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition to earlier diagnosis or knowledge of disease risk, medical advances may also lead to newer forms of preventive care which could improve an individual’s overall health and/or longevity. If this were to occur, the duration of payments made by our legacy insurance subsidiaries under certain forms of life insurance policies or annuity contracts would likely increase thereby reducing our profitability on those products. Conversely, slower progressing medical advances, particularly in the areas of cognitive decline, could adversely impact our long-term care insurance products as policyholders may remain on claim for a long period of time resulting in higher severity and duration of claims.

Other Emerging Risks

Other emerging risks, such as the occurrence of natural or man-made disasters, including geopolitical tensions and war; a public health emergency, including pandemics; climate change; or unknown risks and uncertainties associated with artificial intelligence could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to various risks arising out of natural disasters, including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes and other extreme weather events, many of which could be exacerbated by climate change. Increasing geopolitical tensions and war (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, instability in the Middle East and economic competition between the United States and China, among others) could impact the economic environment, result in escalating trade wars and reduce available resources or increase costs due to supply chain impacts or trade policies, including increasing tariffs and restricting oil supply and/or increasing the price of oil. The risk of a public health emergency, including from a pandemic, exposes us to risks similar to those experienced during the coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”). A future natural or man-made disaster could disrupt our computer systems and our ability to conduct or process business, as well as lead to unexpected changes in mortgage borrower, policyholder and contractholder behavior. We are also exposed to the continued threat of terrorism, military actions and other man-made disasters, which may cause significant volatility in global financial markets and could trigger an economic downturn in the areas directly or indirectly affected by the disaster. These consequences could, among other things, result in a decline in business and increased claims from those areas, as well as an adverse effect on home prices in those areas, which could result in increased loss experience in our mortgage insurance subsidiaries. Disasters or a public health emergency, including a pandemic, could also disrupt public and private infrastructure, including communications and financial services, which could disrupt our normal business operations.

Our inability to anticipate and leverage new technology developments, such as artificial intelligence, could adversely affect the future success of our business. We cannot predict how existing and emerging guidance, rules and regulations governing the use of artificial intelligence will be interpreted or applied, or what, if any, actions may be taken regarding artificial intelligence, but any applicable regulations and limitations could result in increased compliance costs and/or lead to changes in business practices and policies. We may not be successful in anticipating or responding to these developments on a timely and cost-effective basis, and our investments in these capabilities may not deliver the benefits anticipated or perform as expected. Moreover, our competitors may adopt artificial intelligence technologies more quickly or more effectively than we do, which could cause competitive harm. Poor implementation of new technologies, including artificial intelligence, by us or our third-party service providers, could subject us to additional risks we cannot adequately mitigate, which could have a material adverse impact to our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

We have no unresolved comments from the staff of the SEC.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

We have identified technology and cybersecurity risk as some of the most significant risk types to our business. Related to these identified risk types, we have classified our top risks and report them to both senior management and the risk committee of Genworth Financial’s Board of Directors, which in turn reports to the Board of Directors. For additional information regarding the risks associated with these matters, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors.”

Risk Management and Strategy

Genworth’s risk management framework recognizes the significant operational risk, including risk of losses, from cybersecurity incidents and the importance of a strong cybersecurity program for effective risk management. As part of our overall risk management, we have implemented a formal Data Security and Cybersecurity Program (the “DSCP”) which sets policy expectations, ensures broad coverage over technology and cybersecurity risks, integrates the Technology Risk Management Framework into our broader risk management systems, establishes clear roles and governance, and aligns control expectations to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework. Under the DSCP, we have processes for identifying, assessing, escalating and managing technology and cybersecurity risk. The DSCP employs various controls and policies to secure our operations and information, which include monitoring, reporting, managing and remediating cybersecurity threats and incidents. Key features of the DSCP include access controls, security training, system security testing, dedicated security personnel, security event monitoring and regular consultation with third-party data security experts. Through a cross-functional team, we assess and mitigate risks associated with our third-party providers and have processes in place to regularly monitor and evaluate cybersecurity risks, threats and incidents associated with the use of third-party providers, as well as monitoring rights, as appropriate. Our information security team, overseen by our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), conducts annual, role-based information security awareness training for employees. We also conduct periodic cybersecurity awareness training with management and the Board of Directors, including regular cybersecurity preparedness and response exercises. In addition, the DSCP includes an incident response plan, which coordinates the activities we take to prepare for, detect, respond to and recover from cybersecurity incidents, which include processes to assess the materiality of the incident, escalate, contain, investigate and remediate the incident, as well as to comply with potentially applicable legal reporting and other obligations and to mitigate reputational damage. We also carry insurance that provides protection against certain losses arising from a cybersecurity incident.

Additionally, we have procedures set forth in the DSCP for reporting and responding to potential cybersecurity incidents as well as determining applicable disclosure requirements, including timely incident reporting. As of the date of this report, no known cybersecurity threats have had or, in our assessment, are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Our computer systems, as well as those of our third-party service providers, have experienced failures or security compromises in the past and may do so again in the future, including as a result of cybersecurity incidents; we may experience issues from new and complex technology methodologies such as artificial intelligence; and unanticipated problems could materially adversely impact our disaster recovery systems and business continuity plans, any of which could expose confidential information such as personal information of our customers or employees, damage our reputation, impair our ability to conduct business effectively, result in enforcement action or litigation, and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

Governance

Our Board of Directors recognizes the importance of maintaining the privacy and security of customer information, as well as the availability and integrity of our systems, and consequently dedicates meaningful time and attention to the oversight of cybersecurity risk. In light of these risks, our Board of Directors is actively engaged in the oversight of the Company’s technology, which includes periodic briefings on cybersecurity threats and participation in cybersecurity preparedness exercises. Our Board of Directors has established a technology committee to assist in its oversight responsibilities relating to Genworth’s technology initiatives, strategy, investments and innovation, and the DSCP. Furthermore, under its charter, the Board’s risk committee has primary responsibility for technology and cybersecurity risk oversight. In this capacity, the risk committee oversees the Company’s processes for identifying, assessing and managing technology and cybersecurity risk, including a risk-based escalation process, which requires that the risk committee be notified by management and, as necessary, receive regular briefings on the matter, and work with management, including Genworth’s CISO and Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”), to assess and manage the risk and implement the Company’s response to the incident, as appropriate.

Genworth’s Chief Information Officer (“CIO”), CISO and CRO, all members of management, support the cybersecurity risk oversight responsibilities of the Board and its committees and involve relevant management personnel in cybersecurity risk management. The technology committee receives regular reports from the CIO on technology initiatives and strategy, periodically reviews and oversees Genworth’s DSCP and receives regular updates, at least annually, related to data security and cybersecurity matters from the CISO. The risk committee receives periodic reports from the CRO on the Company’s risks related to technology and cybersecurity. Additionally, the CRO follows a formal risk-based escalation process to notify the risk committee outside of the regular reporting cycle when actual or potential substantive cybersecurity risks or issues are identified.

Item 2. Properties

Genworth leases a 174,000 square foot facility for use as its corporate headquarters in Richmond, Virginia and owns one facility in Lynchburg, Virginia with approximately 210,000 square feet, both of which are used by our Closed Block segment. In addition, Genworth leases 11,000 square feet in Lynchburg, Virginia, and another 154,000 square feet of office space in four locations throughout the United States. One of Genworth’s international subsidiaries leases approximately 4,000 square feet of office space in Mexico. Enact Holdings leases its headquarters facility in Raleigh, North Carolina, which consists of approximately 130,000 square feet, and leases one other office space of approximately 2,000 square feet in Washington, D.C.

On December 11, 2025, Genworth sold its former headquarters facility in Richmond, Virginia, for a pre-tax gain of approximately $9 million. Prior to the sale, the asset group was classified as held-for-sale and was included within other assets in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024.

impacted by the change in reportable segments, including our Enact segment, can be found in “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Overview

Our business

Genworth Financial offers mortgage insurance products through its majority-owned subsidiary, Enact Holdings, a leading provider of private mortgage insurance in the United States through its mortgage insurance subsidiaries. Genworth Financial also has start-up businesses whereby it offers fee-based services, advice, consulting and other aging-care services through CareScout Services and long-term care insurance products through CareScout Insurance. Genworth Financial’s legacy insurance subsidiaries no longer offer or sell long-term care insurance, life insurance or annuity products. However, these subsidiaries continue to service and manage their in-force blocks of business and may still issue a limited number of certificates under existing group long-term care insurance policies.

We report our business results through two segments: Enact and Closed Block. In addition to our two reportable segments, we disclose other business activities and operating results in Corporate and Other, including our start-up businesses, CareScout Services and CareScout Insurance.

Our financial information

The financial information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K has been derived from our consolidated financial statements.

Revenues and expenses

Our revenues consist primarily of the following:

•Premiums. Premiums consist primarily of premiums earned on insurance products for mortgage, long-term care and term life insurance.

•Net investment income. Net investment income represents the income earned on our investments. For discussion of the change in net investment income, see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

•Net investment gains (losses). Net investment gains (losses) consist primarily of realized gains and losses from the sale of our investments, credit losses, and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, limited partnership investments and derivative instruments. For discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

•Policy fees and other income. Policy fees and other income consist primarily of fees assessed against policyholder and contractholder account values, surrender charges, cost of insurance assessed on universal and term universal life insurance policies, advisory and administration service fees assessed on investment contractholder account values, broker-dealer commission revenues, fee revenue from contract underwriting services and other fees.

Our expenses consist primarily of the following:

•Benefits and other changes in policy reserves. Benefits and other changes in policy reserves consist primarily of benefits paid, interest accretion expense and other reserve activity related to future policy benefits for long-term care insurance, life insurance, and fixed and variable annuities, and claim costs incurred related to mortgage insurance products.

•Liability remeasurement (gains) losses. Liability remeasurement (gains) losses represent changes to the net premium ratio for actual variances from expected experience and updates to cash flow assumptions used to measure long-duration traditional and limited-payment insurance contracts.

•Changes in fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges. Changes in fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges consist of fair value changes of market risk benefits (other than changes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk), net of changes in the fair value of non-qualified derivative instruments that support our market risk benefits.

Table of Contents

•Interest credited. Interest credited represents interest credited on behalf of policyholder and contractholder general account balances.

•Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals. Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, represent costs and expenses related to the acquisition and ongoing maintenance of insurance and investment contracts, including commissions, policy issuance expenses and other underwriting and general operating costs. These costs and expenses are net of amounts that are capitalized and deferred, which are costs and expenses that are related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance policies and investment contracts, such as first-year commissions in excess of ultimate renewal commissions and other policy issuance expenses. We allocate certain corporate expenses to each of our segments using various methodologies.

•Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles. Amortization of deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) and intangibles consists primarily of the amortization of capitalized acquisition costs, present value of future profits and capitalized software.

•Interest expense. Interest expense primarily represents interest incurred on borrowings of Genworth Holdings and Enact Holdings.

•Provision (benefit) for income taxes. We allocate tax to our businesses at the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate of 21%. Each segment is then adjusted to reflect the unique tax attributes of that segment, such as permanent differences between U.S. GAAP and tax law. The difference between the consolidated provision for income taxes and the sum of the provision for income taxes in each segment is reflected in Corporate and Other.

The effective tax rates disclosed herein are calculated using whole numbers. As a result, the percentages shown may differ from an effective tax rate calculated using rounded numbers.

•Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests represents third-party ownership interests in income (loss) of Enact Holdings, a consolidated subsidiary of Genworth Financial.

Unless otherwise stated, all references to net income (loss), net income (loss) per share, adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) per share found in “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read as net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders, net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders per share, adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders per share, respectively.

Use of non-GAAP measures

Reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted operating income (loss)

Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates performance and allocates resources based on a non-GAAP financial measure entitled “adjusted operating income (loss).” Our CODM evaluates adjusted operating income (loss) as a key measure to assess performance and support new business initiatives because the measure more accurately reflects

Table of Contents

overall operating performance, as it minimizes the impact of macroeconomic volatility. Our legacy insurance subsidiaries, which comprise our Closed Block segment, are managed on a standalone basis; therefore, we do not allocate capital to our Closed Block segment.

We define adjusted operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), changes in fair value of market risk benefits attributable to interest rates, equity markets and associated hedges, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. A component of our net investment gains (losses) is the result of estimated future credit losses, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to our discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. We exclude net investment gains (losses), changes in fair value of market risk benefits attributable to interest rates, equity markets and associated hedges, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items from adjusted operating income (loss) because, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating performance.

While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that adjusted operating income (loss), and measures that are derived from or incorporate adjusted operating income (loss), are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Adjusted operating income (loss) is not a substitute for net income (loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of adjusted operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to adjusted operating income (loss) assume a 21% current tax rate, plus any associated deferred taxes, and are net of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests. Changes in fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges are adjusted to exclude changes in reserves, attributed fees and benefit payments.

Below is an executive summary of our consolidated financial results for the periods indicated. Amounts within this “Executive Summary of Consolidated Financial Results” and in our discussion of adjusted operating income (loss) within

Table of Contents

“—Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment” are net of taxes, unless otherwise indicated. After-tax amounts assume a tax rate of 21%.

For a discussion of selected financial information and detailed descriptions of operating performance measures see “—Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment.”

2025 compared to 2024

•Net income in 2025 and 2024 was $223 million and $299 million, respectively, and adjusted operating income was $144 million and $273 million, respectively.

•Enact segment

•Adjusted operating income decreased primarily due to lower reserve releases and higher new delinquencies, partially offset by higher net investment income and lower operating expenses in 2025.

•Closed Block segment

•The adjusted operating loss in our long-term care insurance products increased primarily driven by unfavorable cash flow assumption updates in 2025 compared to favorable updates in 2024, net insurance recoveries of $22 million in 2024 that did not recur and aging of the in-force block. These adverse developments were partially offset by higher limited partnership income and a $21 million gain related to a third-party reinsurance recapture in 2025.

•The adjusted operating loss in our life insurance products decreased largely due to continued block runoff.

•Adjusted operating income in our annuity products increased primarily from favorable assumption updates of $20 million in 2025 largely related to mortality assumptions compared to unfavorable updates of $14 million in 2024 largely related to lapse assumptions, partially offset by lower spread income in 2025 driven mostly by block runoff.

•Corporate and Other

•The adjusted operating loss decreased primarily from a $17 million tax benefit related to a release of a portion of the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, mostly offset by higher expenses related to CareScout growth initiatives in 2025.

2024 compared to 2023

•Net income in 2024 and 2023 was $299 million and $76 million, respectively, and adjusted operating income was $273 million and $41 million, respectively.

•Enact segment

•Adjusted operating income increased primarily attributable to higher net investment income and premiums, partially offset by higher new delinquencies in 2024.

•Closed Block segment

•The adjusted operating loss in our long-term care insurance products decreased primarily driven by lower liability remeasurement losses, net insurance recoveries and higher income from limited partnerships, partially offset by lower renewal premiums in 2024.

•The adjusted operating loss in our life insurance products decreased primarily from liability remeasurement gains in 2024 compared to losses in 2023, partially offset by lower premiums and a less favorable change in reserves in 2024 in our term life insurance products related to block runoff.

•Adjusted operating income in our annuity products decreased primarily from unfavorable assumption updates of $14 million in 2024 largely related to lapse assumptions compared to favorable assumption updates in 2023 and lower net spreads primarily related to block runoff.

Table of Contents

•Corporate and Other

•The adjusted operating loss increased primarily from higher expenses related to CareScout growth initiatives, partially offset by a higher benefit for income taxes in 2024.

Significant Developments and Key Highlights

Enact segment

•Mortgage insurance portfolio. Enact’s primary persistency rate remained slightly elevated at 82% during 2025, though down from 83% during 2024. Elevated persistency and an increase in new insurance written led to primary insurance in-force growth of $4.3 billion in 2025.

•Loss performance. Enact recorded pre-tax net reserve releases of $200 million in 2025 primarily related to strong cure performance and loss mitigation activities, compared to pre-tax reserve releases of $252 million in 2024.

•PMIERs compliance. Enact’s PMIERs sufficiency ratio was 162% or $1,919 million above the PMIERs requirements as of December 31, 2025.

•Liquidity and financial flexibility. On September 30, 2025, Enact Holdings entered into a $435 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (“2025 Credit Facility”), which replaced the previous $200 million revolving credit facility dated June 30, 2022 (“2022 Credit Facility”). The 2025 Credit Facility remained undrawn as of December 31, 2025.

•New share repurchase program. On February 3, 2026, Enact Holdings announced the authorization of a new share repurchase program under which it may repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock.

Closed Block segment

•Long-term care insurance in-force management actions

•Based on our current updated assumptions, we estimate that the cumulative economic benefit of approved rate increases and benefit reductions from 2012 through 2025 was approximately $34.5 billion, on a net present value basis. This reflects meaningful progress toward our latest estimate of approximately $39.5 billion total net present value included in our multi-year in-force rate action plan, and an estimated $5.0 billion remaining to be achieved, based on our current updated assumptions.

•Annual assumption reviews

•Long-term care insurance. Our long-term care insurance products had an unfavorable pre-tax impact of $47 million from our annual review of cash flow assumptions in the fourth quarter of 2025. Unfavorable benefit utilization and healthy life assumption updates were largely offset by favorable assumption updates reflecting in-force rate action approval experience and benefit reductions as well as favorable claim termination assumption updates. See “—Critical Accounting Estimates—Liability for future policy benefits” for additional information on the impact of changes in our long-term care insurance cash flow assumptions.

•Life insurance. As part of our annual review of cash flow assumptions in the fourth quarter of 2025, our universal and term universal life insurance products had a favorable pre-tax impact of $15 million reflecting updates to interest rate assumptions given the recent rate environment. See “—Critical Accounting Estimates—Policyholder account balances—additional insurance liabilities” for additional information on the impact of changes in our life insurance cash flow assumptions.

•Annuities. As part of our annual review of cash flow assumptions in the fourth quarter of 2025, our annuity products had a favorable pre-tax impact of $25 million to adjusted operating income primarily from fixed annuity mortality assumption updates.

•Capital of legacy insurance subsidiaries

•As of December 31, 2025, the consolidated RBC ratio on a company action level basis of our legacy insurance subsidiaries was approximately 300%, down from 306% as of December 31, 2024

Table of Contents

primarily due to higher required capital as our limited partnership portfolio grows, partially offset by statutory earnings in 2025.

Capital and liquidity

•Holding company liquidity. Genworth Holdings had $234 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025, which included approximately $127 million of cash held for future obligations, including advance cash payments from our subsidiaries.

•Share repurchases. During 2025, Genworth Financial executed $245 million of share repurchases, before excise taxes and other associated costs. On September 18, 2025, Genworth Financial announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new share repurchase program under which Genworth Financial may purchase up to $350 million of its outstanding common stock.

•Capital returns. During 2025, Genworth Holdings received $407 million of capital returns from Enact Holdings. Enact Holdings expects to return approximately $500 million of capital to its shareholders in 2026. Based on our approximately 81% ownership, we expect to receive approximately $405 million in capital returns from Enact Holdings for the full year 2026.

Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment

Enact segment

Trends and conditions

Results of our Enact segment are affected primarily by the following factors: competitor actions; unemployment or underemployment levels; other economic and housing market trends, including interest rates, home prices, the number of first-time homebuyers, and mortgage origination volume mix and practices; the size of the overall private mortgage insurance market and the effect of regulatory actions thereon; the levels and aging of mortgage delinquencies; the effect of seasonal variations; the inventory of unsold homes; loan modification and other servicing efforts; and litigation, among other items. References to “Enact” included in “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Enact segment” are, unless the context otherwise requires, to our Enact segment.

Macroeconomic environment

Throughout 2025, the U.S. economy was subject to significant volatility and uncertainty, largely related to changing economic policies, including new and variable tariffs, continued inflationary pressure, the U.S. federal government shutdown, and certain domestic and geopolitical tensions. The ancillary effects of these factors on the domestic and global economies could materially impact the U.S. housing market and Enact’s business.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index decreased to 2.7% year-over-year in December 2025 compared to 2.9% year-over-year in December 2024. The unemployment rate increased to 4.4% in December 2025 compared to 4.1% in December 2024.

Purchase originations in the U.S. mortgage origination market remained relatively slow in response to elevated mortgage rates. Over the past few years, housing affordability has deteriorated as elevated mortgage rates and home price appreciation outpaced median family income, according to the National Association of Realtors Housing Affordability Index. Affordability pressures eased slightly toward the end of 2025 as mortgage rates began to decline and national home price growth has slowed, according to the FHFA Monthly Purchase-Only House Price Index (seasonally adjusted).

Regulatory developments

Private mortgage insurance market penetration and overall market size are affected in part by actions that impact housing or housing finance policy taken by the GSEs and the U.S. government, including but not limited to, the FHA and the FHFA. In the past, these actions have included announced changes, or potential changes, to underwriting standards, including changes to the GSEs’ automated underwriting systems, FHA pricing, GSE guaranty fees, loan limits and alternative products.

Table of Contents

In July 2025, the FHFA announced that it will implement the acceptance of VantageScore 4.0 for mortgages delivered to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The GSEs have not yet released implementation details and timelines, and the full impact of this initiative on Enact’s business, processes and financial results remains uncertain.

Competitive environment

The U.S. private mortgage insurance industry is highly competitive. Enact Holdings’ market share is influenced by the execution of its go to market strategy, including but not limited to, pricing competitiveness relative to its peers and its selective participation in forward commitment transactions. Enact continues to manage the quality of new business through pricing and its underwriting guidelines, which are modified from time to time when circumstances warrant. The market and underwriting conditions, including the mortgage insurance pricing environment, are within Enact’s risk-adjusted return appetite, enabling it to write new business at returns it views as attractive.

Mortgage insurance portfolio

New insurance written of $51.5 billion in 2025 increased 1% compared to 2024. Changes in new insurance written are primarily impacted by the size of the mortgage insurance market and Enact’s market share. Enact’s primary persistency rate decreased to 82% during 2025 compared to 83% during 2024. Persistency remained slightly elevated due to high interest rates but decreased compared to 2024 due to rate volatility throughout 2025. Elevated persistency and modest new insurance written growth led to an increase in primary insurance in-force of $4.3 billion, or 2%, since December 31, 2024.

Net earned premiums in 2025 were consistent with 2024 as higher average insurance in-force and higher assumed premiums were offset by higher ceded premiums and slightly lower average premium rates.

Loss experience

Enact’s loss ratio was 11% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 4% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Both periods were impacted by net favorable reserve adjustments due to strong cure performance and loss mitigation activities. Enact released reserves of $200 million in 2025, the majority of which were related to prior year delinquencies. A portion of the releases also related to lower expected claim rates on 2025 delinquencies reflecting sustained favorable cure performance and current market expectations. This compares to reserve releases of $252 million in 2024 primarily on delinquencies from prior years.

New primary delinquencies in 2025 increased slightly compared to 2024 primarily due to the normal loss development pattern on newer books of business. New primary delinquencies of 50,481 contributed $299 million of loss expense in 2025, while Enact incurred $287 million of loss expense from 48,537 new primary delinquencies in 2024. In determining the loss expense estimate, considerations were given to recent cure and claim experience and the prevailing and prospective economic conditions.

The severity of loss on loans that go to claim may be negatively impacted by extended forbearance and foreclosure timelines, the associated elevated expenses and the higher loan amount of recent new delinquencies. These negative influences on loss severity could be mitigated in part by embedded home price appreciation. The majority of Enact’s mortgage insurance policies limit the number of months of unpaid interest and associated expenses that are included in the mortgage insurance claim amount to a maximum of 36 months.

Reinsurance transactions

During 2025, Enact executed excess of loss reinsurance transactions that provide approximately $225 million of reinsurance coverage on a portion of new insurance written for the 2025 book year, and $260 million and $170 million of coverage on a portion of expected new insurance written for the 2026 and 2027 book years, respectively. Enact also entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with a panel of reinsurers under which it will cede approximately 34% of a portion of its expected new insurance written for the 2027 book year. See note 7 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional details on Enact’s reinsurance transactions. Enact may execute future credit risk transfer transactions to maintain a prudent level of financial flexibility in excess of the PMIERs capital requirements in response to potential changes in performance and PMIERs requirements over time.

Table of Contents

Capital requirements

As of December 31, 2025, EMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio under the current regulatory framework as established under North Carolina law and enforced by the NCDOI, EMICO’s domestic insurance regulator, was approximately 10.1:1, compared with a risk-to-capital ratio of 10.5:1 as of December 31, 2024. EMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio remains below the NCDOI’s maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25:1. North Carolina’s calculation of risk-to-capital excludes the risk in-force for delinquent loans given the established loss reserves against all delinquencies. EMICO’s ongoing risk-to-capital ratio will depend principally on the magnitude of future losses incurred by EMICO, the effectiveness of ongoing loss mitigation activities, new business volume and profitability, the impact of quota share reinsurance, the amount of policy lapses and the amount of additional capital that is generated or distributed by the business.

Under PMIERs, Enact is subject to operational and financial requirements that private mortgage insurers must meet in order to remain eligible to insure loans that are purchased by the GSEs. As of December 31, 2025, Enact had estimated available assets of $5,015 million against $3,096 million net required assets under PMIERs, compared to available assets of $5,095 million against $3,043 million net required assets as of December 31, 2024. The sufficiency ratio as of December 31, 2025 was 162% or $1,919 million above the PMIERs requirements, compared to 167% or $2,052 million above the PMIERs requirements as of December 31, 2024. Enact’s PMIERs required assets benefited from a reinsurance credit of $1,932 million and $1,885 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to third-party reinsurance transactions. Enact’s PMIERs required assets as of December 31, 2024 benefited $28 million from the application of a 0.30 multiplier applied to the risk-based required asset amount factor for certain non-performing loans as defined under PMIERs. Per guidance released by the GSEs, use of the multiplier was discontinued effective March 31, 2025.

On August 21, 2024, the GSEs and the FHFA released updated PMIERs requirements phasing in a revision to the available assets standards between March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026. Enact expects to hold capital sufficiency well in excess of these requirements and does not expect the impact of these updates to be material to its sufficiency. For additional details, see “Item 1—Regulation—Enact—Mortgage Insurance Regulation—Other U.S. regulation and agency qualification requirements.”

Capital returns

EMICO paid dividends to Enact Holdings during each quarter of 2025 that support Enact Holdings’ ability to return capital to shareholders. On May 1, 2024, Enact Holdings announced the approval by its board of directors of a share repurchase program under which Enact Holdings could repurchase up to $250 million of its common stock. Enact Holdings completed the repurchase of shares under this authorization in the second quarter of 2025. On April 30, 2025, Enact Holdings announced the authorization of a new share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to an additional $350 million of its common stock. Genworth Holdings entered into an agreement with Enact Holdings to participate in the share repurchase program in order to maintain its ownership interest in Enact Holdings. In addition to its share repurchase program, Enact Holdings pays a quarterly dividend. As the majority shareholder, Genworth Holdings received $407 million of capital returns from Enact Holdings during 2025, comprised of $309 million of share repurchases and $98 million of quarterly dividends.

Returning capital to shareholders, balanced with growth and risk management priorities, remains a key commitment for Enact Holdings as it looks to enhance shareholder value through time. Future return of capital will be shaped by Enact Holdings’ capital prioritization framework, which sets the following priorities: supporting its existing policyholders, growing its mortgage insurance business, funding attractive new business opportunities and returning capital to shareholders. Enact Holdings’ total return of capital will also be based on its view of the prevailing and prospective macroeconomic conditions, regulatory landscape and business performance.

2025 compared to 2024

Adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders

Adjusted operating income decreased primarily due to lower reserve releases and higher new delinquencies, partially offset by higher net investment income and lower operating expenses in 2025.

Revenues

Premiums were flat as insurance-in force growth and higher assumed premiums were offset by higher ceded premiums and slightly lower average premium rates in 2025.

Net investment income increased primarily from higher investment yields and higher average invested assets in 2025.

Table of Contents

For a discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves increased largely from lower reserve releases and higher new delinquencies in 2025. Both periods were impacted by favorable reserve adjustments due to strong cure performance and loss mitigation activities. Enact released reserves of $200 million in 2025, the majority of which were related to prior year delinquencies. A portion of the releases also related to lower expected claim rates on 2025 delinquencies reflecting sustained favorable cure performance and current market expectations. During 2024, Enact recorded reserve releases of $252 million.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, decreased primarily due to an $11 million loss in 2024 on the early redemption of Enact Holdings’ 6.50% senior notes due in August 2025 (“2025 Notes”) that did not recur. The decrease was also driven by lower restructuring expenses and operating costs in 2025.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The effective tax rate was 21.5% and 21.6% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, consistent with the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate.

Enact selected operating performance measures

Management regularly monitors and reports insurance in-force and risk in-force for our Enact segment. Insurance in-force is a measure of the aggregate unpaid principal balance as of the respective reporting date for loans insured by our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries. Risk in-force is based on the coverage percentage applied to the estimated current outstanding loan balance. These metrics are presented on a direct basis and exclude reinsurance. We consider insurance in-force and risk in-force to be measures of Enact’s operating performance because they represent measures of the size of its business at a specific date which will generate revenues and profits in a future period, rather than measures of its revenues or profitability during that period.

Management also regularly monitors and reports new insurance written for our Enact segment as a measure of volume of new business generated in a period. We consider new insurance written to be a measure of Enact’s operating performance because it represents a measure of new sales of mortgage insurance policies during a specified period, rather than a measure of revenues or profitability during that period.

The following table sets forth selected operating performance measures regarding Enact as of and for the dates indicated:


	Years ended December 31,						Increase (decrease) and percentage change
(Amounts in millions)	2025		2024		2023		2025 vs. 2024
Primary insurance in-force	$	273,147	$	268,825	$	262,937	$	4,322	2%

New insurance written	$	51,506	$	51,002	$	53,081	$	504	1%

2025 compared to 2024

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force

Primary insurance in-force increased mainly from new insurance written and elevated persistency, partially offset by lapses and cancellations. The primary persistency rate was 82% and 83% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Total risk in-force increased primarily as a result of higher primary insurance in-force.

Table of Contents

New insurance written

Changes in new insurance written are primarily impacted by the size of the mortgage insurance market and Enact’s market share.

Loss and expense ratios

Management regularly monitors and reports a loss ratio and an expense ratio for our Enact segment. We consider the loss ratio, which is the ratio of benefits and other changes in policy reserves to net earned premiums, to be a measure of underwriting performance. The expense ratio is the ratio of general expenses to net earned premiums. Enact’s general expenses consist of acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, and amortization of DAC and intangibles. We believe these ratios help to enhance the understanding of Enact’s operating performance.

The following table sets forth the loss and expense ratios for Enact for the dates indicated:


	Years ended December 31,				Increase (decrease)
	2025	2024	2023		2025 vs. 2024
Loss ratio	11%	4%	3	%	7%
Expense ratio	22%	24%	23%		(2)%

The loss ratio increased largely from lower net favorable reserve adjustments and higher new delinquencies in 2025.

The expense ratio decreased primarily due to an $11 million loss in 2024 on the early redemption of Enact Holdings’ 2025 Notes that did not recur, which increased the expense ratio by one percentage point in 2024. The decrease was also driven by lower restructuring expenses and operating costs in 2025.

Delinquent loans and claims

Enact’s delinquency management process begins with notification by the loan servicer of a delinquency on an insured loan. “Delinquency” is defined in Enact’s master policies as the borrower’s failure to pay when due an amount equal to the scheduled monthly mortgage payment under the terms of the mortgage. Generally, the master policies require an insured to notify Enact of a delinquency if the borrower fails to make two consecutive monthly mortgage payments prior to the due date of the next mortgage payment. Borrowers default for a variety of reasons, including a reduction of income, unemployment, divorce, illness/death, inability to manage credit, falling home prices and interest rate levels. Borrowers may cure delinquencies by making all of the delinquent loan payments, agreeing to a loan modification or by selling the property in full satisfaction of all amounts due under the mortgage. In most cases, delinquencies that are not cured result in a claim under Enact’s policy.

The following table sets forth the number of loans insured, the number of delinquent loans and the delinquency rate for Enact’s loan portfolio as of December 31:


	2025		2024		2023

Percentage of delinquent loans (delinquency rate)	2.62	%	2.45	%	2.10%

The delinquency rate as of December 31, 2025 increased compared to December 31, 2024 primarily due to new delinquencies exceeding cures and paid claims.

The number of delinquencies may not correlate directly with the number of claims received because delinquencies may cure. The rate at which delinquencies cure is influenced by borrowers’ financial resources and circumstances and regional economic differences. Whether a delinquency leads to a claim correlates highly with the borrower’s equity at the time of delinquency, as it influences the borrower’s willingness to continue to make payments, and the borrower’s or the insured’s ability to sell the home for an amount sufficient to satisfy all amounts due under the mortgage loan, as well as the borrower’s financial ability to continue making payments. When Enact receives notice of a delinquency, it uses its proprietary model to determine whether a delinquent loan is a candidate for a modification. When the model identifies such a candidate, Enact’s loan workout specialists prioritize cases for loss mitigation based upon the likelihood that the loan will result in a claim. Loss mitigation actions include loan modification, extension of credit to bring a loan current, foreclosure forbearance, pre-foreclosure sale and deed-in-lieu. These loss mitigation efforts often are an effective way to reduce Enact’s claim exposure and ultimate payouts.

Loss reserves in policy years 2008 and prior are outsized compared to their representation of risk in-force. The size of these policy years at origination, particularly 2005 through 2008, combined with the significant decline in home prices led to significant losses in policy years prior to 2009. Although uncertainty remains with respect to the ultimate losses Enact will experience on these policy years, they have become a smaller percentage of its total mortgage insurance portfolio. The concentration of loss reserves has shifted to newer book years in line with changes in risk in-force. As of December 31, 2025, Enact’s 2018 and newer policy years represented approximately 96% of its primary risk in-force and 85% of its total direct primary case reserves.

The ratio of the claim paid to the current risk in-force for a loan is referred to as “claim severity.” The current risk in-force is equal to the unpaid principal amount multiplied by the coverage percentage. The main determinants of claim severity are the age of the mortgage loan, the value of the underlying property, accrued interest on the loan, expenses advanced by the insured and foreclosure expenses. These amounts depend partly upon the time required to complete foreclosure, which varies depending upon state laws. Pre-foreclosure sales, acquisitions and other early workout and claim administration actions help to reduce overall claim severity. Enact’s average primary mortgage insurance claim severity was 96%, 99% and 97% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was impacted by low claim volumes and lifetime home price appreciation. The average claim severities do not include the effects of agreements on non-performing loans.

Closed Block segment

We no longer solicit sales of the long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products included in our Closed Block segment. However, our legacy insurance subsidiaries continue to service and manage their in-force blocks of business and may still issue a limited number of certificates under existing group long-term care insurance policies.

Trends and conditions

Many factors can affect the results of our long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products, as further discussed below. Because these factors are not known in advance, change over time, are difficult to accurately predict and are inherently uncertain, we cannot determine with precision the ultimate amounts we will pay for actual claims or the timing of those payments. Results of the products in our Closed Block segment depend significantly upon the extent to which our actual future experience is consistent with assumptions and methodologies we have used in calculating our

Table of Contents

reserves. We will continue to monitor our experience and assumptions closely and make changes to our assumptions and methodologies, as appropriate, for these products. Even small changes in assumptions or small deviations of actual experience from assumptions could have, and in the past have had, material impacts on our reserve levels, results of operations and financial condition.

For a discussion of potential impacts of assumption updates and actual variances from expected experience on our results of operations, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—We may be required to increase our reserves as a result of deviations from our estimates and actuarial assumptions or other reasons, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.”

Results of our life insurance and annuity products and the financial condition of our long-term care insurance products are also impacted by interest rates. We remeasure our liability for future policy benefits and the related reinsurance recoverables at the single-A bond rate each quarter. As a result, our reported insurance liabilities are sensitive to movements in interest rates, which will likely result in continued volatility to our reserve balances and equity. For a discussion of the potential impacts and risks associated with changes in interest rates, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Interest rates and changes in rates could materially adversely affect our business and profitability.”

Fourth quarter assumption review

We completed the required annual review of our cash flow assumptions for our long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products in the fourth quarter of 2025. While our 2025 assumption review considered trends during and following the pandemic years, our updates to long-term assumptions generally exclude or adjust experience data from 2020 to 2022, as we do not have sufficient information around the long-term effects of COVID-19.

In our long-term care insurance products, we had an unfavorable pre-tax impact of $47 million from cash flow assumption updates in the fourth quarter of 2025. Unfavorable benefit utilization and healthy life assumption updates were largely offset by favorable assumption updates reflecting in-force rate action approval experience and benefit reductions as well as favorable claim termination assumption updates. Our benefit utilization assumption updates included near-term experience related to cost of care inflation, and our healthy life assumptions were updated to better align with recent mortality and incidence trends, incorporating post-COVID-19 trends. Our claim termination assumption updates also incorporated post-COVID-19 trends.

In our universal and term universal life insurance products, we had a favorable pre-tax impact of $15 million from cash flow assumption updates reflecting favorable updates to interest rate assumptions given the recent rate environment. Certain of our universal life insurance products with secondary guarantees are subject to additional reserves on a statutory basis using regulatory prescribed assumptions, including mortality improvement and the reinvestment rate. The updates to the prescribed mortality improvement assumption had a favorable impact from a statutory income (loss) perspective.

In our annuity products, we had a favorable pre-tax impact of $25 million to adjusted operating income primarily from mortality assumption updates in our fixed annuity products.

We also completed statutory cash flow testing for our legacy insurance subsidiaries in the fourth quarter of 2025 and concluded that the margin in those companies was positive.

Long-term care insurance

The results of our long-term care insurance products depend upon how our actual experience compares with our valuation assumptions, including but not limited to in-force rate actions, morbidity, mortality and persistency. Estimates for in-force rate actions reflect certain simplifying assumptions that may vary materially from actual results, including but not limited to consistent policyholder behavior over time in addition to a uniform rate of coinsurance and premium taxes. Actual policyholder behavior may differ significantly from these assumptions. Results of our long-term care insurance products are also influenced by our ability to improve investment yields and manage expenses and reinsurance, among other factors. Changes in laws or government programs, including long-term care insurance rate action legislation, regulation and/or practices, also impact our long-term care insurance products either positively or negatively.

Our actual claims experience will emerge over many years, or decades. Average claim reserves for new claims have trended higher over time as the mix of claims continues to evolve, with an increasing number of policies with higher daily benefit amounts and higher inflation factors going on claim. Although new claim counts on certain of our oldest long-term

Table of Contents

care insurance blocks of business have reached their peak claim years and will decrease as the blocks run off, we expect overall claims costs to continue to increase as the approximately 592,000 insured individuals in our two largest blocks, Choice I and Choice II, with average attained ages of 78 and 75, respectively, reach their peak claim years, which are age 85 and over.

Additionally, we have observed an increase in the cost of care in our long-term care insurance products, due in part to elevated inflation. Increases in cost of care have resulted in higher claim payments, which could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition if the increases persist.

The impacts of assumption updates and actual variances from expected experience will continue to drive volatility in our long-term care insurance results, particularly for our unprofitable capped cohorts. Our profitable uncapped cohorts have had a more modest earnings impact related to assumption updates and actual variances from expected experience, to date, as a portion of the impact is reflected in current period results with the remaining majority of the impact recognized over the life of the cohort. However, we may see increased volatility as the uncapped cohorts continue to age, with more of the impact related to assumption updates and actual variances from expected experience recognized immediately in net income (loss). It is important to note that quarterly variations resulting from assumption updates and actual variances from expected experience are typically expected to be relatively small compared to the overall size of our liability for future policy benefits of $44.1 billion, at the locked-in discount rate, for our long-term care insurance products as of December 31, 2025.

In-force management actions

Given the ongoing challenges in our long-term care insurance products, we continue to pursue initiatives to improve the risk and profitability profile of our business, including premium increases and benefit reductions on our in-force policies. Executing on our multi-year long-term care insurance in-force rate action plan with premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions on our in-force long-term care insurance policies is critical to Closed Block. Although approvals in 2025 were lower than previous years due to past successes in achieving approvals, this does not impact our overall strategy for rate actions. In some cases, we received large approvals that either materially completed the current multi-year rate action plan or resulted in multi-year implementations. For an update on in-force rate actions, refer to the selected operating performance measures below.

In addition, we previously reached three legal settlements regarding alleged disclosure deficiencies in premium increases for certain long-term care insurance policies. These legal settlements covered approximately 70% of our long-term care insurance in-force in Closed Block and accelerated benefit reductions. The legal settlements resulted in an overall net favorable economic impact to our long-term care insurance products as they reduced tail risk on these long-duration liabilities.

While we expect renewal premiums to decline over time as the block runs off, benefit reductions elected by policyholders in connection with our in-force rate actions and legal settlements have accelerated that decline. However, we expect this decline to be partially offset by future approved rate actions.

We also plan to continue to offer existing, and to design and implement additional, reduced benefit options outside of in-force rate actions to enhance sustainability of our legacy insurance subsidiaries and to reduce the risk on certain product features of our long-term care insurance policies.

Life insurance

Results of our life insurance products are impacted primarily by mortality, persistency, investment yields, expenses, reinsurance and statutory reserve requirements, among other factors.

Mortality levels may deviate each period from historical trends; however, we typically experience seasonally unfavorable mortality in the first quarter of each year. Mortality improved slightly during the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to third quarter of 2025 but was in line with the fourth quarter of 2024. We have also experienced unfavorable mortality compared to our then-current and priced-for assumptions in recent years for our universal life insurance block. Reinsurance costs typically increase due to natural aging of the yearly renewable term reinsured blocks. In prior periods, we have received some yearly renewable term reinsurance premium increases from some of our reinsurance partners that reflect unfavorable mortality.

Table of Contents

Annuities

Results of our fixed and variable annuity products are affected primarily by investment performance, interest rate levels, the slope of the interest rate yield curve, net interest spreads, equity market conditions, mortality, persistency, expense and commission levels, surrenders and scheduled maturities.

We monitor and change crediting rates on fixed deferred annuities on a regular basis to maintain spreads and targeted returns, if applicable. However, we have seen and could continue to see declines in our fixed annuity spreads and margins as interest rates change, depending on the severity of the change.

Equity market volatility and interest rate movements have caused, and may continue to cause, fluctuations in the results of our fixed indexed and variable annuity products and can significantly impact our regulatory capital requirements and liquidity. We use hedging strategies as well as liquidity planning and asset-liability management to help mitigate these impacts. In addition, we have used reinsurance to help mitigate volatility in our variable annuity results.

Equity market performance was more favorable in 2025 compared to 2024. Interest rate performance had an unfavorable impact in 2025 compared to a favorable impact in 2024.

2025 compared to 2024

Adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders

•The adjusted operating loss in our life insurance products decreased largely due to continued block runoff.

Revenues

Premiums

•Our long-term care insurance products increased $34 million primarily driven by $97 million of higher premiums in 2025 from newly implemented in-force rate actions, partially offset by lower renewal premiums from prior benefit reduction elections made by policyholders in connection with our in-force rate actions and legal settlements. Policy terminations also drove lower renewal premiums in 2025.

•Our life insurance products decreased $15 million largely due to the continued runoff of our in-force blocks.

Net investment income

•Our long-term care insurance products increased $28 million largely due to $44 million of higher income from limited partnerships, partially offset by lower investment yields in 2025.

•Our life insurance products decreased $52 million primarily from lower policy loan rates in our corporate-owned life insurance products in 2025.

•Our annuity products decreased $35 million primarily attributable to lower average invested assets in 2025 driven mostly by block runoff.

Net investment gains (losses). For a discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

Policy fees and other income. The decrease was primarily driven by our life insurance and annuity products principally due to block runoff.

Table of Contents

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

•Our long-term care insurance products increased $74 million primarily from a higher unfavorable change in reserves due to an increase in net premiums collected and from aging of the in-force block, including higher interest accretion, in 2025.

•Our life insurance products decreased $87 million largely due to continued block runoff.

Liability remeasurement (gains) losses

•Our long-term care insurance products had a liability remeasurement loss of $316 million in 2025 largely due to unfavorable actual variances from expected experience primarily driven by higher claims and lower terminations, partially offset by a $26 million gain related to a third-party recapture of a block of long-term care insurance policies. For additional information on the third-party reinsurance recapture, see note 22 in our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” The liability remeasurement loss also included unfavorable cash flow assumption updates primarily related to benefit utilization and healthy life assumptions, largely offset by favorable assumption updates reflecting in-force rate action approval experience and benefit reductions as well as favorable claim termination assumption updates.

Our long-term care insurance products had a liability remeasurement loss of $172 million in 2024 mainly attributable to adverse actual variances from expected experience principally driven by lower terminations and higher claims. This was partially offset by net favorable cash flow assumption updates largely related to approval amounts and implementation timing of our in-force rate action plan and a favorable update to our short-term incidence assumption for IBNR claims.

See “—Critical Accounting Estimates—Liability for future policy benefits—Long-term care insurance” for a discussion of the fourth quarter annual review of assumptions.

•Our life insurance products had a liability remeasurement loss of $28 million in 2025 primarily driven by unfavorable actual variances from expected experience largely due to unfavorable mortality. This was partially offset by favorable cash flow assumption updates primarily related to interest rate assumptions given the recent rate environment. Our life insurance products had a gain of $12 million in 2024, which included a $58 million model refinement related to certain universal life insurance products with secondary guarantees, partially offset by $28 million of unfavorable updates to our mortality assumptions for universal life insurance contracts and our interest rate assumptions. See “—Critical Accounting Estimates—Policyholder account balances – additional insurance liabilities” for a discussion of the fourth quarter annual review of assumptions.

•The liability remeasurement gain in our annuity products increased $24 million largely due to favorable cash flow assumption updates in 2025 related to fixed annuity mortality assumptions.

Changes in fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges. The change to a loss in 2025 from a gain in 2024 was primarily attributable to unfavorable interest rate impacts in our annuity products in 2025 compared to favorable impacts in 2024, partially offset by lower derivative losses and more favorable equity market impacts in 2025. We also had favorable interest rate assumption updates in 2025 compared to unfavorable lapse assumption updates in 2024.

Interest credited

•Our life insurance products decreased $54 million primarily driven by lower policy loan rates in our corporate-owned life insurance products in 2025.

•Our annuity products decreased $13 million largely due to block runoff.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals. The increase was primarily driven by our long-term care insurance products principally from $28 million of net insurance recoveries in 2024 that did not recur related to previously incurred legal settlement expenses. The increase was also driven by higher operating costs, including higher employee-related expenses, in 2025.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles. The decrease was primarily driven by lower DAC amortization in our life insurance products in 2025 due to block runoff.

Table of Contents

Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The tax benefit in 2025 and 2024 was primarily attributable to the tax benefit on the pre-tax loss, partially offset by tax expense on certain forward starting swap gains that are tax effected at the previously enacted federal income tax rate of 35% as they are amortized into net investment income.

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

•Our long-term care insurance products decreased $28 million primarily due to lower net premiums collected resulting from benefit reduction elections made by policyholders in connection with our in-force rate actions and legal settlements and from policy terminations. This was partially offset by aging of the in-force block, including higher interest accretion, and higher loss adjustment expenses in 2024.

•Our life insurance products increased $21 million primarily from a less favorable change in reserves in our term life insurance products in 2024 related to block runoff and a favorable flooring adjustment in 2023 that did not recur. These increases were partially offset by an increase in cost of reinsurance reserves related to a ceded reinsurance transaction in 2023 that did not recur.

•Our annuity products decreased $22 million largely attributable to block runoff and higher reserve releases in 2024.

Liability remeasurement (gains) losses

•Our long-term care insurance products had a liability remeasurement loss of $172 million in 2024 largely due to adverse actual variances from expected experience primarily driven by lower terminations and higher claims. This was partially offset by net favorable cash flow assumption updates primarily related to approval amounts and implementation timing of our in-force rate action plan and a favorable update to our short-term incidence assumption for IBNR claims.

Our long-term care insurance products had a liability remeasurement loss of $321 million in 2023 largely driven by adverse actual variances from expected experience primarily related to higher claims and unfavorable timing impacts from the second legal settlement. In addition, cash flow assumption updates were unfavorable in 2023 primarily driven by unfavorable updates to our healthy life assumptions to better reflect near-term experience, partially offset by a favorable update to our disabled life mortality assumptions.

•Our life insurance products had a liability remeasurement gain of $12 million in 2024 compared to a $276 million loss in 2023. The liability remeasurement gain in 2024 included a $58 million model refinement related to certain universal life insurance products with secondary guarantees, partially offset by $28 million of unfavorable updates to our mortality assumptions for universal life insurance contracts and our interest rate assumptions.

The liability remeasurement loss in our life insurance products in 2023 was principally driven by unfavorable cash flow assumption updates of $256 million primarily related to our persistency assumptions for certain universal life insurance products with secondary guarantees and unfavorable mortality updates, including more modest mortality improvement. These unfavorable updates were partially offset by net favorable impacts related to a ceded reinsurance transaction.

Changes in fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges. The gain increased slightly as favorable interest rate impacts were mostly offset by unfavorable lapse assumption updates of $13 million in our annuity products in 2024 compared to favorable assumption updates in 2023. Our variable annuity products also had higher derivative losses in 2024.

Interest credited

•Our life insurance products decreased $37 million primarily driven by lower policy loan rates in our corporate-owned life insurance products in 2024.

•Our annuity products decreased $13 million largely due to block runoff, partially offset by higher crediting rates in 2024.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals

•Our long-term care insurance products decreased $29 million principally from $28 million of net insurance recoveries in 2024 related to previously incurred legal settlement expenses, as well as a $13 million accrual for legal settlement costs in 2023 that did not recur. These decreases were partially offset by higher employee-related expenses in 2024.

•Our life insurance products increased $13 million primarily driven by higher operating costs and a $5 million legal settlement accrual in 2024.

•Our annuity products increased $9 million mainly from higher operating costs in 2024.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles. The decrease was largely due to block runoff in our term life insurance products.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The tax benefit decreased primarily due to a lower pre-tax loss in 2024. The tax benefit in 2024 and 2023 was partially offset by tax expense on certain forward starting swap gains that are tax effected at the previously enacted federal income tax rate of 35% as they are amortized into net investment income.

Long-term care insurance

Liability remeasurement (gains) losses

We include expectations for benefit reductions related to in-force rate actions in our assumptions for the liability for future policy benefits, which have impacted and will continue to impact our reported U.S. GAAP financial results. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we also included estimates of other benefit reductions outside of in-force rate actions in our assumptions. We update the net premium ratio quarterly for actual variances from expected experience; therefore, forecasted cash flow assumptions will be replaced with actual cash flows each quarter with any difference recorded in net income (loss). As a result, variances between actual experience and our expectations for benefit reductions will be reflected in liability remeasurement (gains) losses in our operating results on a quarterly basis.

The following table sets forth the pre-tax components of the liability remeasurement (gains) losses, net of reinsurance, of our long-term care insurance products for the periods indicated:


	Years ended December 31,						(Favorable) unfavorable change and percentage change

In-force management actions

As part of our strategy for our long-term care insurance products in our Closed Block segment, we have been implementing, and expect to continue to pursue, significant premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions as well as other reduced benefit options outside of in-force rate actions in order to maintain the self-sustainability of our legacy insurance subsidiaries and reduce the strain on earnings and capital in our Closed Block segment.

Management regularly monitors and reports in-force rate actions, including state filing approvals; impacted in-force premiums; weighted-average percentage rate increases approved; and gross incremental premiums approved for the long-term care insurance products included in our Closed Block segment.

We also estimate the cumulative economic benefit of approved rate actions in our long-term care insurance multi-year in-force rate action plan on a net present value basis, discounted at our investment portfolio yield. This is based on current assumptions and is defined as the net present value of historical and future expected premium increases and benefit reductions as a result of rate increases approved on our long-term care insurance policies. It also includes the net present value of reserve reductions related to prior legal settlements less cash payments made to policyholders who elected certain reduced benefit options in connection with the legal settlements, referred to as settlement payments. We monitor these selected operating performance measures for in-force management actions to track our progress on maintaining the self-sustainability of our legacy insurance subsidiaries. We consider these in-force management action metrics to be measures of financial performance and help to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of our Closed Block segment.

We estimate that the cumulative economic benefit of approved rate increases and benefit reductions from 2012 through 2025 was approximately $34.5 billion, on a net present value basis. This represents a significant increase in estimated rate increases and benefit reductions achieved since December 31, 2024, including $1.0 billion of value from rate action approvals in 2025 and an increase of $2.3 billion in the value of benefit reductions connected with our previously achieved rate actions and legal settlements from the impact of our assumption updates.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth filing approvals as part of our multi-year in-force rate action plan for the years ended December 31:



(Dollar amounts in millions)	2025			2024			2023
State filings approved	83			97			117
Impacted in-force premiums	$	549		$	870		$	697
Weighted-average percentage rate increase approved	38		%	39		%	51		%
Gross incremental premiums approved	$	209		$	343		$	354

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we also submitted 83 new filings on approximately $763 million in annualized in-force premiums.

The approval process for in-force rate actions and the amount and timing of the premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions approved vary by state and product. In certain states, the decision to approve or disapprove a rate increase can take a significant amount of time, and the approved amount may be phased in over time. After approval, insureds are provided with written notice of the increase, and increases are generally applied on the insured’s next policy anniversary date. At that time, policyholders make an election to either pay the full increase or reduce their benefits, and therefore, mitigate some or all of the rate increase. As a result, the benefits of any rate increase are not fully realized until the implementation cycle is complete and are, therefore, expected to be realized over time.

We continue to work closely with the NAIC and state regulators to demonstrate the broad-based need for actuarially justified rate increases in order to pay future claims. Because obtaining actuarially justified rate increases and associated benefit reductions is important to our ability to pay future claims and reduces cross-state premium inequities, we will consider litigation against states that decline to approve those actuarially justified rate increases. As of December 31, 2025, we were in litigation with one state that has refused to approve actuarially justified rate increases for certain products.

2025 compared to 2024

Adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders

The adjusted operating loss decreased primarily from a $17 million tax benefit related to a release of a portion of the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, mostly offset by higher expenses related to CareScout growth initiatives in 2025.

Revenues

For a discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

Benefits and expenses

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, increased primarily from higher expenses related to CareScout growth initiatives in 2025.

Interest expense decreased from a lower floating interest rate on Genworth Holdings’ junior subordinated notes in 2025 and from the repurchase of Genworth Holdings’ debt in 2024.

The increase in the benefit for income taxes was primarily related to a $41 million release of a portion of the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets in 2025.

Investments and Derivative Instruments

Trends and conditions

Investments

During the year ended December 31, 2025, our investment portfolio was impacted, and we believe will continue to be impacted, by the following macroeconomic trends:

•The U.S. Federal Reserve decreased interest rates by 75 basis points in 2025 while it continued to monitor labor market conditions and inflation, including any impacts from rising tariffs, which will influence its plan for any additional changes to interest rates in 2026.

•During the fourth quarter of 2025, the U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened compared to both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 as short-term yields decreased more than changes experienced in long-term yields driven by mixed economic data and increased concerns with the U.S. federal government’s fiscal deficit.

•Credit spreads ended the fourth quarter of 2025 wider compared to September 30, 2025 as the U.S. federal government shutdown and expectations for high artificial intelligence-driven data center capital expenditures resulted in periods of credit spread widening during the quarter. However, the market shifted towards a more positive sentiment towards the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, and credit spreads began to tighten as the U.S. federal government shutdown ended and strong demand from yield-focused investors supported a renewed shift toward a willingness to take on higher risk. Equity markets mirrored these trends and fluctuations, achieving all-time highs by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.

•As of December 31, 2025, our fixed maturity securities portfolio, which was 97% investment grade, comprised 75% of our total invested assets and cash.

Derivatives

•As of December 31, 2025, $1.0 billion notional of our derivatives portfolio was cleared through the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”).

•The customer swap agreements that govern our cleared derivatives contain provisions that enable our clearing agents to request initial margin in excess of CME requirements. As of December 31, 2025, we posted initial margin of $76 million to our clearing agents, which represented $38 million more than was otherwise required by the clearinghouse. Because our clearing agents serve as guarantors of our obligations

Table of Contents

to the CME, the customer agreements contain broad termination provisions that are not specifically dependent on ratings.

•As of December 31, 2025, $12.7 billion notional of our derivatives portfolio was in bilateral OTC derivative transactions pursuant to which we have posted aggregate independent amounts of $585 million and are holding collateral from counterparties in the amount of $17 million.

_______________________

(1)Limited partnership investments are primarily equity-based and do not have fixed returns by period.

(2)Investment income for other invested assets includes amortization of terminated cash flow hedges, which have no corresponding book value within the yield calculation.

Yields are based on net investment income as reported under U.S. GAAP and are consistent with how we measure our investment performance for management purposes. Yields are annualized, for interim periods, and are calculated as net investment income as a percentage of average quarterly asset carrying values except for fixed maturity securities, derivatives and derivative counterparty collateral, which exclude unrealized fair value adjustments.

Gross annualized weighted-average investment yields were unchanged for 2025 compared to 2024 from lower net investment income on lower average invested assets in 2025. Net investment income decreased as higher income from limited partnerships was more than offset by lower policy loan rates in our corporate-owned life insurance products, lower amortization of terminated cash flow hedges and lower returns on our short-term investments due to a decrease in interest rates in 2025.

2025 compared to 2024

•We recorded $69 million of higher unrealized gains on limited partnerships driven by more favorable private equity market performance in 2025. We recorded $27 million of lower net unrealized gains on equity securities driven by less favorable public equity market performance in 2025.

•During 2025, we increased the provision for credit losses for commercial mortgage loans primarily as a result of updates to the analytical model used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. During 2024, we increased the provision for credit losses for both commercial mortgage loans and bank loan investments as a result of annual updates to the underlying metrics included in the analytical model used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, as well as updates to certain assumptions for bank loan investments. We also recorded a higher net change in the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities of $10 million in 2025.

We hold fixed maturity and equity securities, limited partnerships, derivatives, embedded derivatives and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 6% of our investment holdings recorded at fair value was based on significant inputs that were not market observable and were classified as Level 3 measurements. See note 19 to our consolidated financial statements under “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information related to fair value.

The following table presents our public, private and total fixed maturity securities by the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSRO”) designations and/or equivalent ratings, as well as the percentage, based upon fair value that each designation comprises. Certain fixed maturity securities that are not rated by an NRSRO are shown based upon internally prepared credit evaluations.

Table of Contents

We invest in privately placed fixed maturity securities to increase diversification and obtain higher yields than can ordinarily be obtained with comparable public market securities. Generally, private placements provide us with protective covenants, call protection features and, where applicable, a higher level of collateral. However, our private placements are not as freely transferable as public securities because of restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws, the terms of the securities and the characteristics of the private market. Based upon fair value, public and private fixed maturity securities represented 68% and 32%, respectively, of total fixed maturity securities as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

We diversify our corporate securities by industry and issuer. As of December 31, 2025, our combined holdings in the 10 corporate issuers to which we had the greatest exposure was $1.6 billion, which was approximately 3% of our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets. The exposure to the largest single corporate issuer held as of December 31, 2025 was $256 million, which was less than 1% of our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets. See note 4 to our consolidated financial statements under “Part II—Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information on diversification by sector.

Derivatives

The activity associated with derivative instruments can generally be measured by the change in notional value over the periods presented. However, for fixed indexed annuity and indexed universal life embedded derivatives, the change between periods is best illustrated by the number of policies. The following tables represent activity associated with derivative instruments as of and for the periods indicated:


(Notional in millions)	Measurement	December 31, 2024		Additions		Maturities/ terminations		December 31, 2025

Derivatives not designated as hedges
Fixed indexed annuity embedded derivatives	Policies	4,867	—	(696)	4,171
Indexed universal life embedded derivatives	Policies	717	—	(29)	688

The decrease in the notional value of derivatives was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest rate swaps that support our long-term care insurance products, partially offset by the addition of foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk.

The number of policies with embedded derivatives decreased as these products are no longer being offered and continue to run off.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The accounting estimates and assumptions (including sensitivities) discussed in this section are those that we consider to be critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements because their application places significant demands on our ability to judge the effect of inherently uncertain matters on our financial results. For all of these accounting estimates and assumptions (including sensitivities), we caution that future events seldom develop as estimated and management’s best estimates often require adjustment. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements.” For a detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies, see note 2 in our consolidated financial statements under “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

The sensitivities in the tables below are changes that we consider to be reasonably possible given historical changes in market conditions and our experience with these products. The impacts are discrete and do not reflect the impact one factor may have on another. In any period and over time, our actual experience may have a positive or negative variance from our long-term assumptions, either singularly or collectively, and these variances may offset each other.

Table of Contents

Liability for future policy benefits

The measurement of the liability for future policy benefits reflects estimates and actuarial assumptions and methodologies which involve the exercise of significant judgment and are inherently uncertain. Because these assumptions relate to factors that are not known in advance, change over time, are difficult to accurately predict and are inherently uncertain, we cannot determine with precision the ultimate amounts we will pay for actual claims or the timing of those payments. Establishing assumptions for the liability for future policy benefits is complex and involves many factors. Any future adverse changes in our assumptions would likely result in the establishment of additional future policy benefit reserves with a corresponding loss recognized in net income (loss). Our future financial results depend significantly upon the extent to which our actual future experience is consistent with the assumptions we have used in determining our liability for future policy benefits. Even small changes in assumptions or small deviations of actual experience from assumptions could have, and in the past have had, material impacts on our reserve levels, results of operations and financial condition.

The liability for future policy benefits is equal to the present value of expected future benefits and claim-related expenses, less the present value of expected future net premiums. Cash flow assumptions, as applicable, used to estimate the liability for future policy benefits include health care experience (including type of care and cost of care), policyholder persistency or lapses (i.e., the probability that a policy or contract will remain in-force from one period to the next), insured mortality (i.e., life expectancy or longevity) and insured morbidity (i.e., frequency and severity of claim, including claim termination rates and benefit utilization rates). Cash flow assumptions associated with our long-term care insurance products in our Closed Block segment also include expected impacts of our in-force management actions, such as future in-force rate actions (including premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions) and other reduced benefit options outside of our in-force rate actions. The liability is measured for each group of contracts, or cohorts, using best estimate cash flow assumptions, which are reviewed at least annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if actual experience indicates a change is required. The change in the liability for future policy benefits, at the locked-in discount rate, resulting from cash flow assumption updates and actual variances from expected experience is reflected as liability remeasurement (gains) losses in the consolidated statements of operations.

See notes 2 and 8 in our consolidated financial statements under “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information related to the liability for future policy benefits.

Long-term care insurance

The liability for future policy benefits for our long-term care insurance products is estimated using assumptions related to both insured individuals on claim (disabled life assumptions) and insured individuals not on claim (healthy life assumptions). Key cash flow assumptions used to estimate the liability for future policy benefits include claim termination rates, incidence and benefit utilization rates, mortality, lapse rates and in-force rate actions. Claim termination rates represent the expected rates at which claims end. Incidence rates represent the likelihood the policyholder will go on claim. Benefit utilization rates represent how much of the available policy benefits are expected to be used. In-force rate actions represent the remaining premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions not yet achieved in our long-term care insurance multi-year in-force rate action plan in Closed Block and are based on our best estimate given our current plans for rate increase filings and our historical experience regarding rate increase approvals.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, liability remeasurement gains (losses) within net income (loss) included unfavorable cash flow assumption updates of $47 million. Unfavorable benefit utilization and healthy life assumption updates were largely offset by favorable assumption updates reflecting in-force rate action approval experience and benefit reductions as well as favorable claim termination assumption updates. Our benefit utilization assumption updates included near-term experience related to cost of care inflation, and our healthy life assumptions were updated to better align with recent mortality and incidence trends, incorporating post-COVID-19 trends. Our claim termination assumption updates also incorporated post-COVID-19 trends. While our 2025 assumption review considered trends during and following the pandemic years, our updates to long-term assumptions generally exclude or adjust experience data from 2020 to 2022, as we do not have sufficient information around the long-term effects of COVID-19.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, liability remeasurement gains (losses) within net income (loss) included unfavorable cash flow assumption updates of $20 million primarily related to updates to healthy life and near-term benefit utilization assumptions to better align with recent experience, including cost of care inflation. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by favorable assumption updates for future in-force rate action approvals given our plans for rate increase filings and our recent experience regarding approvals and regulatory support. The unfavorable impacts were also partially

offset by favorable updates to our short-term incidence assumptions for IBNR claims, reducing sufficiency held through a period of heightened uncertainty around incidence during and immediately following COVID-19.

Life insurance

Key cash flow assumptions used to estimate the liability for future policy benefits for our life insurance products include mortality and lapse rates.

In the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024, our annual review of cash flow assumptions did not have a significant impact on liability remeasurement gains (losses) within net income (loss) for our life insurance products.

Fixed annuities

The key cash flow assumption used to estimate the liability for future policy benefits for our fixed annuity products is mortality.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, liability remeasurement gains (losses) within net income (loss) included favorable cash flow assumption updates of $22 million primarily as a result of updates to our mortality assumptions. In the fourth quarter of 2024, our annual review of cash flow assumptions did not have a significant impact on liability remeasurement gains (losses) within net income (loss) for our fixed annuity products.

A summary of certain of our significant estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of our fixed annuities liability for future policy benefits, net of reinsurance recoverable, was as follows for the years ended December 31:

(1)At the locked-in discount rate.

A hypothetical decrease of 10% to our mortality assumption would have an unfavorable impact of approximately $50 million on liability remeasurement gains (losses) within pre-tax income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Policyholder account balances – additional insurance liabilities

The liability for policyholder account balances represents the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the balance sheet date for investment-type and universal and term universal life insurance contracts. We are also required to establish additional benefit reserves for guarantees or product features in addition to the contract value where the additional benefit reserves are calculated by applying a benefit ratio to accumulated contractholder assessments, and then deducting accumulated paid claims, commonly referred to as the additional insurance liability. The benefit ratio is equal to the present value of total expected benefit payments over the life of the contract divided by the present value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract, discounted by the projected crediting rate. The assumptions used to calculate the benefit ratio include insured mortality, interest rates and policyholder persistency or lapses, among other assumptions.

We perform an annual review of assumptions for our universal and term universal life insurance products in the fourth quarter. Our 2025 review resulted in a benefit recorded to pre-tax income (loss) of $15 million primarily as a result of favorable updates to interest rate assumptions. Our 2024 review resulted in an expense recorded to pre-tax income (loss) of $28 million largely associated with an unfavorable update to our mortality assumptions for universal life insurance contracts originating from term life insurance conversions and an unfavorable update to interest rate assumptions given the recent rate environment.

Liability for policy and contract claims

The liability for policy and contract claims represents the amount needed to provide for the estimated ultimate cost of settling claims relating to insured events that have occurred on or before the end of the respective reporting period. The estimated liability includes requirements for future payments of: (i) losses that have been reported to the insurer; (ii) losses related to insured events that have occurred but that have not been reported to the insurer as of the date the liability is estimated; and (iii) loss adjustment expenses. Loss adjustment expenses include costs incurred in the claim settlement process such as legal fees and costs to record, process and adjust claims.

Our liability for policy and contract claims is reviewed regularly, with changes in our estimates of future claims recorded through net income (loss).

Estimates and actuarial assumptions used for establishing loss reserves involve the exercise of significant judgment, and changes in assumptions or deviations of actual experience from assumptions can have material impacts on Enact’s loss reserves and net income (loss). Because these assumptions relate to factors that are not known in advance, change over time, are difficult to accurately predict and are inherently uncertain, Enact cannot determine with precision the ultimate amounts it will pay for actual claims or the timing of those payments. The sources of uncertainty affecting the estimates are numerous and include factors internal and external to Enact. Internal factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the mix of exposures, loss mitigation activities and claim settlement practices. Significant external influences include changes in home prices, unemployment, government housing policies, state foreclosure timelines, general economic conditions, interest rates, tax policy, credit availability and mortgage products. Small changes in assumptions or small deviations of actual experience from assumptions can have, and in the past have had, material impacts on Enact’s reserves, results of operations and financial condition.

Enact establishes reserves to recognize the estimated liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses related to defaults on insured mortgage loans. Loss reserves are established by estimating the number of loans in the inventory of delinquent loans that will result in a claim payment, which is referred to as the claim rate, and further estimating the amount of the claim payment, which is referred to as claim severity. The estimates are determined using a factor-based approach, in which assumptions of claim rates for loans in default and the average amount paid for loans that result in a claim are calculated using traditional actuarial techniques. Over time, as the status of the underlying delinquent loans moves toward foreclosure and the likelihood of the associated claim loss increases, the amount of the loss reserves associated with the potential claims may also increase.

Enact’s management monitors actual experience, and where circumstances warrant, will revise its assumptions. The liability for loss reserves is reviewed regularly, with changes in estimates of future claims recorded through net income (loss). Estimation of losses is based on historical claim and cure experience and covered exposures and is inherently judgmental. Future developments may result in losses greater or less than the liability for loss reserves provided.

Enact’s loss reserves were $572 million and $525 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In considering the potential sensitivity of the factors underlying Enact’s best estimate of its mortgage insurance reserves, it is possible that even a relatively small change in the estimated claim or severity rate could have a significant impact on loss reserves and, correspondingly, on our results of operations. For example, based on Enact’s actual experience during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, a quarterly change of 4% in its average claim rate would change the gross loss reserve amount for such quarter by approximately $79 million, and a change of 3% in its average severity rate would change the gross loss reserve amount for such quarter by approximately $16 million.

Valuation of fixed maturity securities. Our portfolio of fixed maturity securities comprises primarily investment grade securities, which are carried at fair value.

The methodologies, estimates and assumptions used in valuing our fixed maturity securities evolve over time and are subject to different interpretations, all of which can lead to materially different estimates of fair value. Additionally, because the valuation is based on market conditions at a specific point in time, the period-to-period changes in fair value may vary significantly due to changing interest rates, as well as external macroeconomic and credit market conditions. For example, widening credit spreads will generally result in a decrease, while tightening credit spreads will generally result in an increase, in the fair value of our fixed maturity securities. Additionally, during periods of increasing interest rates, the market values of lower-yielding assets will decline. See “Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Sensitivity Analysis—Interest Rate Risk” for the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on our investment portfolio.

Our valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs. However, for certain less liquid securities, categorized as Level 3, the valuation inputs and assumptions cannot be corroborated with observable market data and require greater estimation, resulting in values that are less certain. Additionally, the availability of observable market information may change as certain inputs may be more direct drivers of valuation at the time of pricing, or if certain assets previously in active markets become less liquid due to changes in the financial environment. As a result, more securities may be categorized as Level 3 and require more subjectivity and management judgment. As of December 31, 2025, 6% of our total fixed maturity securities related to Level 3 fixed maturity securities valued using internal pricing models. See notes 2, 4 and 19 in our consolidated financial statements under “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information related to the valuation of fixed maturity securities and a description of the fair value measurement estimates and level assignments.

The following tables summarize the primary sources of data considered when determining the fair value of fixed maturity securities as of December 31:

Consolidated Balance Sheets

Total assets. Total assets increased $1,262 million from $86,821 million as of December 31, 2024 to $88,083 million as of December 31, 2025.

•Invested assets increased $1,244 million primarily attributable to increases of $860 million in fixed maturity securities, $342 million in limited partnerships and $122 million in other invested assets, partially offset by a decrease of $107 million in commercial mortgage loans. The increase in fixed maturity securities was predominantly related to lower interest rates and tightening credit spreads increasing the fair value of our fixed maturity investment portfolio, partially offset by net sales and maturities in 2025. Limited partnerships increased largely from capital calls, and other invested assets increased primarily driven by the purchase of

corporate-owned life insurance in 2025. Commercial mortgage loans decreased mostly due to payments outpacing originations in 2025.

•Deferred acquisition costs decreased $193 million largely driven by amortization in our life and long-term care insurance products in 2025.

•Reinsurance recoverable increased $245 million primarily due to a decrease in the single-A interest rate used to discount the reinsurance recoverable in 2025.

Total liabilities. Total liabilities increased $876 million from $77,440 million as of December 31, 2024 to $78,316 million as of December 31, 2025.

•The liability for future policy benefits increased $1,618 million primarily from a decrease in the single-A interest rate used to discount the liability for future policy benefits. Our long-term care insurance reserves also increased largely driven by the unfavorable impact of actual variances from expected experience and cash flow assumption updates, as well as aging of the in-force block, including higher interest accretion, partially offset by benefit payments outpacing premiums collected in 2025. See “—Critical Accounting Estimates—Liability for future policy benefits” for additional information on the impact of cash flow assumption updates. These increases were partially offset by the runoff of our fixed annuity and life insurance products.

•Policyholder account balances decreased $751 million largely driven by net benefit payments, surrenders and withdrawals in our fixed annuity and universal and term universal life insurance products in 2025.

Total equity. Total equity increased $386 million from $9,381 million as of December 31, 2024 to $9,767 million as of December 31, 2025.

•We reported net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders of $223 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

•Unrealized gains (losses) on investments increased total equity by $1,169 million primarily due to a decrease in interest rates and tightening credit spreads in 2025.

•Derivatives qualifying as hedges decreased total equity by $305 million largely due to amortization of forward starting swap gains into net investment income and an increase in interest rates compared to contracted notional interest rates in 2025.

•The change in the discount rate used to measure future policy benefits and related reinsurance recoverables decreased total equity by $559 million largely attributable to a decrease in the single-A interest rate in 2025.

•Treasury stock increased $248 million due to the repurchase of Genworth Financial’s common stock, at cost, including excise taxes and other associated costs, resulting in a decrease to total equity in 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and capital resources represent our overall financial strength and our ability to generate cash flows from our businesses, borrow funds at competitive rates and raise new capital to meet our operating and growth needs.

Overview of cash flows—Genworth and subsidiaries

Our principal sources of cash include premiums and other payments received on our insurance products and services, income from our investment portfolio and proceeds from sales and maturities of investments. Cash flows related to operating activities are affected by the timing of premiums, fees and investment income received and benefits, claims and expenses paid. Cash flows from operating activities have been invested to support the obligations of our insurance and investment products and required capital supporting these products. In analyzing our cash flows, we focus on the change in the amount of cash available and used in investing activities. Changes in cash from financing activities primarily relate to deposits to, and redemptions and benefit payments on, universal life insurance and investment contracts; the issuance of debt and equity securities; the repayment or repurchase of borrowings; the repurchase of common stock presented as treasury stock; and other capital transactions.

The following table sets forth our condensed consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31:



(Amounts in millions)	2025		2024		2023
Net cash from (used by) operating activities	$	327	$	88	$	597
Net cash from (used by) investing activities	518		861		1,261
Net cash from (used by) financing activities	(857)		(1,115)		(1,443)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents before foreign exchange effect	$	(12)	$	(166)	$	415

2025 compared to 2024

We had higher net cash inflows from operating activities in 2025 primarily driven by lower benefit payments on the long-term care insurance products in our Closed Block segment resulting from lower settlement payments as the implementation of the third legal settlement was materially completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net cash inflows from investing activities were lower in 2025 mainly due to commercial mortgage loan payments outpacing originations at a lower rate than in 2024.

Net cash outflows related to financing activities were lower primarily due to lower net withdrawals from our investment contracts and lower repurchases of Genworth Holdings’ debt in 2025.

Genworth—holding company liquidity

In consideration of our liquidity, it is important to separate the needs of our holding companies from the needs of their respective subsidiaries. Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings each act as a holding company for their respective subsidiaries and do not have any significant operations of their own. Genworth Financial’s and Genworth Holdings’ principal sources of cash are derived from dividends and other returns of capital from Enact Holdings. Additional sources of cash have included subsidiary payments to them under tax sharing and expense reimbursement arrangements and proceeds from borrowings or securities issuances. The primary uses of funds at Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings include payments of principal, interest and other expenses on borrowings or other obligations, payment of holding company general operating expenses (including employee benefits and taxes), payments under guarantees (including guarantees of certain subsidiary obligations), payments to subsidiaries (or, in the case of Genworth Holdings, to Genworth Financial) under tax sharing agreements, investments in CareScout, repurchases of debt securities, repurchases of Genworth Financial’s common stock and, in the case of Genworth Holdings, loans, dividends or other distributions to Genworth Financial. For more information on our tax obligations, refer to note 16 in our consolidated financial statements under “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Management’s focus is predominantly on Genworth Holdings’ liquidity given it is the issuer of our outstanding public debt. We manage our legacy insurance subsidiaries on a standalone basis and accordingly, do not expect to receive any dividends or other returns of capital from them. Therefore, our liquidity at the holding company level is highly dependent on the performance of Enact Holdings and its ability to pay timely dividends and other forms of capital returns to Genworth Holdings as anticipated. Genworth Financial has the right to appoint a majority of directors to Enact Holdings’ board of directors; however, actions taken by Enact Holdings and its board of directors are subject to and may be limited by the interests of Enact Holdings, including but not limited to, its use of capital for growth opportunities and regulatory requirements. In addition, insurance laws and regulations regulate the payment of dividends and other distributions to Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings by their insurance subsidiaries. See “—Regulated insurance subsidiaries” for additional details.

Enact Holdings’ capital allocation strategy includes supporting its existing policyholders, growing its mortgage insurance business, funding attractive new business opportunities and returning capital to its shareholders. On May 1, 2024, Enact Holdings announced the approval by its board of directors of a share repurchase program under which Enact Holdings could repurchase up to $250 million of its common stock. Enact Holdings completed the repurchase of shares under this authorization in the second quarter of 2025. On April 30, 2025, Enact Holdings announced the authorization of a new share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to an additional $350 million of its common stock. Genworth Holdings entered into an agreement with Enact Holdings to participate in the share repurchase program in order to maintain its ownership interest in Enact Holdings. In addition to its share repurchase program, Enact Holdings pays a

102

Table of Contents

quarterly dividend. As the majority shareholder, Genworth Holdings received $407 million of capital returns from Enact Holdings in 2025, comprised of share repurchases and quarterly dividends.

On February 3, 2026, Enact Holdings announced the authorization of a new share repurchase program under which it may repurchase up to $500 million of its common stock. Genworth Holdings entered into an agreement with Enact Holdings to participate in the share repurchase program in order to maintain its ownership interest in Enact Holdings. Enact Holdings expects the timing and amount of any future share repurchases will be opportunistic and will depend on a variety of factors, including Enact Holdings’ stock price, capital availability, business and market conditions, regulatory requirements and debt covenant restrictions, among other factors. Future dividend payments will be subject to quarterly review and approval by Enact Holdings’ board of directors and Genworth Financial and will also be dependent on a variety of economic, market and business conditions, among other considerations.

Enact Holdings expects to return approximately $500 million of capital to its shareholders in 2026. Based on our approximately 81% ownership, we expect to receive approximately $405 million in capital returns from Enact Holdings for the full year 2026.

On July 31, 2023, Genworth Financial’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $350 million of share repurchases under Genworth Financial’s existing share repurchase program that began in May 2022. On September 18, 2025, Genworth Financial announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new share repurchase program under which Genworth Financial may purchase up to $350 million of its outstanding common stock. Under the new program, share repurchases may be made at Genworth’s discretion from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The timing and number of future shares repurchased under the new share repurchase program will depend on a variety of factors, including Genworth Financial’s stock price and trading volume, and general business and market conditions, among other factors. The authorization has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time.

Pursuant to the programs, during 2025, Genworth Financial repurchased 30,662,006 shares of its common stock at an average price of $7.99 per share for a total of $245 million, before excise taxes and other costs, and finalized repurchases under the July 2023 authorization.

During the period January 1 through February 20, 2026, Genworth Financial repurchased 4,344,376 shares of its common stock through a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan at an average price of $8.75 per share, leaving approximately $222 million available for repurchase under the new share repurchase program as of February 20, 2026. Future share repurchases will be funded from holding company capital, as well as future cash flow generation, including expected future capital returns from Enact Holdings.

Our future use of liquidity and capital will prioritize strategic investments in CareScout and returning capital to Genworth Financial’s shareholders through share repurchases. In addition, we also expect to repurchase or redeem outstanding debt from time to time (with cash on hand, proceeds from the issuance of new debt and/or the proceeds from asset or stock sales) in open market purchases, tender offers, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Genworth Holdings had $234 million and $294 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease was principally driven by repurchases of Genworth Financial’s common stock, capital contributions to CareScout and interest payments on Genworth Holdings’ debt, partially offset by capital returns from Enact Holdings. The $234 million of Genworth Holdings’ cash and cash equivalents included approximately $127 million of cash held for future obligations, including advance cash payments from our subsidiaries. We do not consider this cash held for future obligations when evaluating holding company liquidity for the purposes of allocating capital or computing our cash position relative to the cash management target discussed below. We believe Genworth Holdings’ unrestricted cash and cash equivalents provide sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations over the next twelve months as well as in the longer term. We expect Genworth Holdings’ liquidity to continue to be impacted by the amounts and timing of Genworth Financial’s share repurchases, investments in CareScout, and future dividends and other forms of capital returns from Enact Holdings. In addition, we anticipate lower intercompany cash tax payments to be retained by Genworth Holdings from its subsidiaries going forward.

We actively monitor our liquidity position (most notably at Genworth Holdings), liquidity generation options and the credit markets given changing market conditions. Genworth Holdings’ cash management target is to maintain a cash buffer of two times expected annual external debt interest payments. Genworth Holdings may move below or above this targeted cash buffer during any given quarter due to the timing of cash outflows and inflows or as a result of planned future actions.

Management of Genworth Financial continues to evaluate Genworth Holdings’ target level of liquidity as circumstances warrant.

Capital resources and financing activities

Our current capital resource plans do not include any additional debt offerings by Genworth Holdings or minority sales of Enact Holdings. The availability of additional capital resources will depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, regulatory considerations, the general availability of credit, credit ratings and the performance of and outlook for Enact Holdings and the payment of dividends and other returns of capital therefrom. For a discussion of certain risks associated with our liquidity and dependency on dividends paid by Enact Holdings, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings depend on the ability of Enact Holdings and its subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other payments and distributions to each of them to meet their obligations,” and “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Our sources of capital have become more limited, and under certain conditions we may need to seek additional capital on unfavorable terms.”

During 2025 and 2024, Genworth Holdings repurchased $7 million and $66 million, respectively, principal amount of its debt. As of December 31, 2025, Genworth Holdings had $783 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt, with no maturities due until June 2034.

In 2024, given the current interest rate environment, Genworth Holdings entered into an interest rate swap designed to hedge the variable interest payments on $100 million aggregate principal amount of its floating rate junior subordinated notes due in 2066 (“2066 Notes”), locking in an approximate 5.5% fixed interest rate for a period of five years from the hedge origination date.

On September 30, 2025, Enact Holdings entered into a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders in the initial aggregate principal amount of $435 million, which replaced the 2022 Credit Facility. Enact Holdings may use any future borrowings under the 2025 Credit Facility for working capital needs and general corporate purposes, including the execution of dividends to its shareholders and capital contributions to its insurance subsidiaries. The 2025 Credit Facility includes customary representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions. As of December 31, 2025, Enact Holdings was in compliance with all covenants and the 2025 Credit Facility remained undrawn.

On May 28, 2024, Enact Holdings issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes, maturing on May 28, 2029 (“2029 Notes”). The 2029 Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6.25% payable semi-annually in arrears on May 28 and November 28 of each year. On June 3, 2024, Enact Holdings redeemed all $750 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 2025 Notes for a pre-tax loss of $11 million. Enact Holdings funded the redemption primarily through the net proceeds from the issuance of its 2029 Notes.

For further information about Genworth Holdings’ and Enact Holdings’ borrowings, refer to note 15 in our consolidated financial statements under “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Regulated insurance subsidiaries

Insurance laws and regulations regulate the payment of dividends and other distributions to us by our insurance subsidiaries. See note 20 in our consolidated financial statements under “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information regarding the payment of dividends. In general, dividends and distributions are required to be submitted to an insurer’s domiciliary department of insurance for review, and distributions from sources other than unassigned surplus require affirmative approval before being paid. Based on estimated statutory results as of December 31, 2025, in accordance with applicable dividend restrictions, Enact Holdings’ U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries could pay dividends from unassigned surplus of approximately $3 million in 2026 without affirmative regulatory approval.

The liquidity requirements of our regulated insurance subsidiaries principally relate to the liabilities associated with their various insurance and investment products, operating costs and expenses, the payment of dividends to us, contributions to their subsidiaries, payments of principal and interest on their outstanding debt obligations and income taxes. Liabilities arising from insurance and investment products include the payment of benefits and claims, as well as cash payments in connection with policy surrenders and withdrawals, policy loans and obligations to redeem funding agreements. Our insurance subsidiaries’ principal cash inflows from operating activities are derived from premiums, annuity deposits and insurance and investment product fees and other income, including commissions, cost of insurance, mortality, expense and surrender charges, contract underwriting fees, investment management fees, investment income, and

104

Table of Contents

dividends and distributions from their subsidiaries. We manage our legacy insurance subsidiaries on a standalone basis. Accordingly, these subsidiaries will continue to rely on their statutory capital, significant reserves, prudent management of the in-force blocks and other management actions, including our long-term care insurance in-force rate actions, to satisfy policyholder obligations.

For long-duration coverage products, we generally anticipate a significant amount of claim payments will come due in five or more years from the date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In our long-term care insurance products in Closed Block, we expect overall claims costs to continue to increase over time as our blocks age, with peak claim years over a decade away. For information on discounted and undiscounted expected future benefit payments, see note 8 in our consolidated financial statements under “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” We also expect renewal premiums on the in-force block of our long-term care insurance products in Closed Block to decline over time as the block runs off and as policyholders elect benefit reductions in connection with our in-force rate actions; however, we expect this decline to be partially offset by future approved rate actions.

Given the challenging macroeconomic environment in 2024 and 2025, employee costs have increased driven in part by wage inflation, the competitive labor market and low labor participation. Additionally, in our long-term care insurance products, we have observed an increase in the cost of care due in part to elevated inflation. These inflationary pressures have not had a significant impact on our liquidity to date; however, if these conditions persist, they could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

The U.S. economy also faces uncertainty and volatility due to variable tariff policies and negotiations taking place across global markets. The insurance industry and our insurance subsidiaries are not directly impacted by tariffs. However, if the ultimate outcome of the global tariff negotiations significantly impacts the U.S. and global economies and equity and fixed income markets, this could have an adverse impact on the housing industry or our investment income, and as a result, may adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity. We will continue to monitor macroeconomic trends, including inflation and any ancillary effects of tariff policies, to help mitigate any potential adverse impacts to our liquidity.

Our insurance subsidiaries maintain investment strategies intended to provide adequate funds to pay benefits without forced sales of investments. Products having liabilities with longer durations, such as certain long-term care and life insurance policies, are typically matched with investments having similar duration such as long-term fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans. Shorter-term liabilities are typically matched with fixed maturity securities that have short- and medium-term fixed maturities. In addition, our insurance subsidiaries hold highly liquid, high quality short-term investment securities and other liquid investment grade fixed maturity securities to fund anticipated operating expenses, surrenders and withdrawals. As of December 31, 2025, our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets were $61.2 billion. Our investments in privately placed fixed maturity securities, commercial mortgage loans, policy loans, limited partnership investments, select mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, bank loans and corporate-owned life insurance are relatively illiquid. These asset classes represented approximately 45% of the carrying value of our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets as of December 31, 2025.

Off-balance sheet commitments

As of December 31, 2025, we were committed to fund $1,916 million in limited partnership investments, $362 million in private placement investments, $118 million of bank loan investments and $7 million in commercial mortgage loan investments.

Genworth—holding company guarantees

As previously disclosed, in connection with pending litigation between AXA and Santander related to the payment protection insurance (“PPI”) mis-selling losses, Genworth has certain rights to share in any recoveries by AXA to recoup payments it previously made to AXA for the underlying PPI mis-selling losses. Genworth is not a named party in the litigation with Santander, and, therefore, does not ultimately control the litigation. In order to better align the interests of AXA and Genworth in the litigation, in March 2025, Genworth agreed to provide AXA a guarantee for the recovery of certain of AXA’s PPI mis-selling losses not previously reimbursed by Genworth, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the litigation. The guarantee was provided through a stand-by letter of credit (“LC”) issued by a third-party financial institution for the benefit of AXA and a reimbursement agreement between Genworth and the third-party financial institution. Whether AXA could draw upon the LC was subject to the amount of any settlement between AXA and Santander, or certain milestones in the court proceedings. The LC was terminated in November 2025. Prior to the termination, no amounts were recorded in 2025 related to the guarantee. On July 25, 2025, the High Court issued a liability judgment in

105

Table of Contents

favor of AXA in the legal proceedings against Santander. The judgment finds Santander liable for AXA’s losses resulting from Santander’s mis-selling. The judge awarded AXA damages, interest and costs of approximately £680 million ($911 million based on the exchange rates at that point in time). Santander subsequently applied for permission to appeal, and the Court of Appeal granted that request on October 21, 2025. AXA sought permission to cross-appeal certain aspects of the High Court judgment and was granted permission in January 2026. The hearing before the Court of Appeal has been scheduled for July 21 to July 23, 2026. Under prior agreements between Genworth and AXA, Genworth is entitled to share in funds that AXA recovers from third parties related to the mis-selling losses. If the appeal is resolved in favor of AXA, Genworth could be entitled to receive a total recovery of approximately $750 million, depending upon the applicable exchange rate at that time. In November 2025, we received £15 million ($20 million) from AXA related to a portion of the liability judgment not subject to dispute. We recorded this loss recovery to income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes, in the consolidated statement of operations. See note 2 for a discussion of our policy for recognizing loss recoveries. Loss recoveries have not been factored into our capital allocation plans, including the sizing of the September 2025 share repurchase authorization discussed above. We would expect to deploy any loss recoveries in line with our stated capital allocation priorities, which are investing in growth through CareScout, returning cash to shareholders through our share repurchase program and opportunistically paying down debt.

Genworth Holdings has provided a limited guarantee of up to $175 million, subject to adjustments, to one of its insurance subsidiaries to support its mortgage insurance business in Mexico. In January 2022, Genworth Holdings terminated this limited guarantee in regard to new business. Based on the risk in-force of policies subject to the guarantee, we estimate that Genworth Holdings’ exposure under the guarantee was approximately $135 million as of December 31, 2025. We believe this insurance subsidiary has adequate reserves to cover its underlying obligations.

Genworth Holdings provided an unlimited guarantee for the benefit of policyholders for the payment of valid claims by our European mortgage insurance subsidiary prior to its sale in May 2016. Following the sale of this United Kingdom subsidiary to AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., the guarantee was limited to the payment of valid claims on policies in-force prior to the sale date and those written approximately 90 days subsequent to the date of the sale, and AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. has agreed to provide us with a limited indemnification in the event there is any exposure under the guarantee. As of December 31, 2025, the risk in-force of active policies was approximately $800 million.

Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

Genworth Financial provides a full and unconditional guarantee to the trustee and holders of Genworth Holdings’ outstanding senior and subordinated notes (registered securities under the Securities Act of 1933), on an unsecured unsubordinated and subordinated basis, respectively, of the full and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any and interest on, and all other amounts payable under, the outstanding senior and subordinated notes and their respective indentures. Genworth Holdings is a direct, 100% owned subsidiary of Genworth Financial.

Excluding investments in subsidiaries, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings, on a combined basis, are not material to the consolidated financial position or the consolidated results of operations of Genworth. In addition, none of Genworth Financial’s direct or indirect subsidiaries, other than Genworth Holdings, are issuers or guarantors of any guaranteed securities. Therefore, in accordance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, we are permitted, and we elected, to exclude the summarized financial information for both the issuer and guarantor of the registered securities.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of the loss of fair value resulting from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. Market risk is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related financial instruments are traded.

While we enter into derivatives to mitigate certain market risks, our agreements with futures commission merchants and derivative counterparties require that we provide securities for initial margin to futures commission merchants and securities as collateral to our derivative counterparties to reflect changes in the fair value of our derivatives. We may hold more high-quality securities to ensure we have sufficient collateral to post to derivative counterparties or futures commission merchants in the event of adverse changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments. If we do not have sufficient high-quality securities to provide as collateral, we may need to sell certain other securities to purchase assets that would be eligible for collateral posting, which could adversely impact our future investment income.

Interest Rate Risk

We enter into market-sensitive instruments primarily for purposes other than trading. The carrying value of our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $59.2 billion and $57.9 billion, respectively, of which 77% and 78%, respectively, was invested in fixed maturity securities. The primary market risk to our investment portfolio is interest rate risk associated with investments in fixed maturity securities. During periods of increasing interest rates, market values of lower-yielding assets will decline resulting in unrealized losses on our investment portfolio. In addition, the value of our interest rate hedges will decline during periods of increasing interest rates, requiring us to post/return additional collateral with/to our derivative counterparties, which could add additional strain to our short-term liquidity. For additional information on interest rate risks associated with our insurance and investment contract liabilities, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Interest rates and changes in rates could materially adversely affect our business and profitability.”

Interest rate fluctuations could also have an adverse effect on the results of our investment portfolio. During periods of declining market interest rates, the interest we receive on variable interest rate investments decreases. In addition, during those periods, we reinvest the cash we receive as interest or return of principal on our investments in lower-yielding high-grade instruments or in lower-credit instruments to maintain comparable returns. Issuers of fixed-income securities or borrowers to our commercial mortgage loans may also decide to prepay their obligations in order to borrow at lower market rates, which exacerbates the risk that we may have to invest the cash proceeds of these securities in lower-yielding or lower-credit instruments.

The primary market risk for our long-term borrowings is interest rate risk at the time of maturity or early redemption, when we may be required to refinance these obligations. As of December 31, 2025, Genworth Holdings had outstanding principal of $783 million of long-term debt, with no debt maturities until June 2034, and Enact Holdings had outstanding principal of $750 million of long-term debt due in May 2029. We continue to monitor the interest rate environment and other market influences to evaluate repurchasing Genworth Holdings’ debt prior to maturity.

Genworth Holdings’ variable interest rate debt is comprised of junior subordinated notes due in November 2066. While we are exposed to interest rate risk from Genworth Holdings’ 2066 Notes, we attempt to mitigate this risk through an interest rate swap designed to hedge the variable interest payments. The principal amount, weighted-average interest rate and fair value of Genworth Holdings’ 2066 Notes were as follows as of December 31:


(Dollar amounts in millions)	2025			2024
Principal amount	$	539		$	546
Weighted-average interest rate (1)	6.53		%	7.44		%
Fair value (2)	$	453		$	451

_______________________

(1)Genworth Holdings’ 2066 Notes have an annual interest rate equal to the three-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a tenor spread adjustment of 0.26161%, plus an additional spread of 2.0025%. The weighted-average interest rate excludes the impact of the interest rate swap Genworth Holdings entered into in 2024, which locked in an approximate 5.5% fixed interest rate on $100 million aggregate principal amount of the 2066 Notes for a period of five years. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

(2)The fair value methodology is based on the then-current coupon, revalued based on the three-month Term SOFR Reference Rate set and commercially available data using the current spread assumption. The model is a floating rate coupon model using the risk premium or spread assumption to derive the valuation.

We use derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, financial futures and option-based financial instruments, as part of our risk management strategy. We use these derivatives to mitigate certain interest rate risk by reducing the risk between the timing of the receipt of cash and its investment in the market and better aligning the duration of assets with the duration of the liabilities.

As a matter of policy, we have not and will not engage in derivative market-making, speculative derivative trading or other speculative derivative activities.

Equity Market Risk

Our exposure to equity market risk within our insurance companies primarily relates to variable annuities and life insurance products and certain equity-linked products. Certain fixed and variable annuity products have market risk

benefits that expose us to equity market risk if the performance of the underlying investments in the contractholder accounts experiences downturns or volatility for an extended period of time. Additionally, continued equity market volatility could result in additional losses in our variable annuity products and associated hedging program which could lead to increased hedging costs.

We are exposed to equity market risk on our holdings of equity securities. We manage equity price risk through industry and issuer diversification, asset allocation techniques and hedging strategies. We also hold limited partnership investments accounted for using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient to fair value primarily concentrated in private equity investments that are subject to private market exposures and have been excluded from this discussion. Equity exposures associated with limited partnership investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting are excluded from this discussion as they are not considered financial instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We use derivative instruments, such as financial futures and option-based financial instruments, as part of our risk management strategy. We use these derivatives to mitigate equity risk by reducing our exposure to fluctuations in equity market indices that underlie some of our products.

Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis measures the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates and other market rates or prices on the profitability of market-sensitive financial instruments.

The following discussion about the potential effects of changes in interest rates and equity market prices is based on so-called “shock-tests,” which model the effects of interest rate and equity market price shifts on our financial condition and results of operations. Although we believe shock-tests provide the most meaningful analysis permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, they are constrained by several factors, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and by their inability to include the extraordinarily complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts modeled. Although the following results of shock-tests for changes in interest rates and equity market prices may have some limited use as benchmarks, they should not be viewed as forecasts. These forward-looking disclosures also are selective in nature and address only the potential impacts on our financial instruments. In addition, this sensitivity analysis does not include a variety of other potential factors that could affect our business as a result of these changes in interest rates and equity market prices.

Interest Rate Risk

One means of assessing exposure to interest rate changes is a duration-based analysis that measures the potential changes in fair value resulting from a hypothetical change in interest rates of 100 basis points across all maturities. This is referred to as a parallel shift in the yield curve. Note that all impacts noted below exclude any effects of deferred taxes unless otherwise noted.

Under this model, with all other factors constant and assuming no offsetting change in the value of our liabilities, we estimated that such an increase in interest rates would cause the fair value of our fixed maturity securities to decrease by approximately $3.1 billion based on the fair value of our fixed maturity securities as of December 31, 2025, as compared to an estimated decrease of $3.0 billion under this model as of December 31, 2024.

We performed a similar sensitivity analysis on our derivatives portfolio and noted that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates resulted in a decrease in fair value of $605 million based on our derivatives portfolio as of December 31, 2025, as compared to an estimated decline of $675 million under this model as of December 31, 2024. The estimated decrease in fair value of our derivatives portfolio would also require us to post collateral to certain derivative counterparties of $555 million and would require us to post cash margin related to our cleared swaps and futures contracts of $95 million based on our derivatives portfolio as of December 31, 2025. Of the $605 million estimated decrease in fair value of our derivatives portfolio as of December 31, 2025, $50 million related to non-qualified derivatives used to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our variable annuity market risk benefits.

We also performed a similar sensitivity analysis on our variable annuity market risk benefits and noted that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, with all other factors held constant, would result in a decrease in the fair value of the net liability after reinsurance of approximately $75 million as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Table of Contents

Equity Market Risk

One means of assessing exposure to changes in equity market prices is to estimate the potential changes in market values on our equity investments resulting from a hypothetical broad-based decline in equity market prices of 10%. Under this model, with all other factors constant, we estimated that such a decline in equity market prices would cause the fair value of our equity investments to decline by approximately $50 million based on our equity positions as of December 31, 2025, as compared to a decline of approximately $45 million under this model as of December 31, 2024.

We performed a similar sensitivity analysis on our equity market derivatives and noted that a 10% decline in equity market prices would result in an increase in fair value of $40 million based on our equity market derivatives as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024. The estimated increase in fair value primarily relates to non-qualified derivatives used to mitigate equity market risk associated with our variable annuity and fixed indexed annuity liabilities.

We also performed a similar sensitivity analysis on our variable annuity market risk benefits and noted that a 10% broad-based decline in equity market prices, with all other factors held constant, would result in an increase in the fair value of the net liability after reinsurance of approximately $55 million as of December 31, 2025, as compared to an increase of approximately $60 million as of December 31, 2024.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Genworth Financial, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genworth Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedules I to III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 27, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Liability for future policy benefits for long-term care insurance and life insurance

As discussed in Notes 2 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the liability for future policy benefits is equal to the present value of expected future benefits and claim-related expenses, less the present value of expected future net premiums. Cash flow assumptions, as applicable, used to estimate the liability for future policy benefits include health care experience (including type of care and cost of care), policyholder persistency or lapses (i.e., the probability that a policy or contract will remain in-force from one period to the next), insured mortality (i.e., life expectancy or longevity), insured morbidity (i.e., frequency and severity of claim, including claim termination rates and benefit utilization rates), estimates of future in-force rate actions (including premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions), and expected impacts of other reduced benefit options outside of in-force rate actions

Table of Contents

associated with long-term care insurance. Estimates of future in-force rate actions include those that are approved or anticipated to be approved, including premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions not yet filed. The Company’s liability for future policy benefits was $55,228 million as of December 31, 2025, of which $43,157 million related to long-term care insurance and $1,467 million related to life insurance.

We identified the evaluation of assumptions used in estimating the liability for future policy benefits for long-term care insurance (future in-force rate actions and insured morbidity) and for life insurance (insured mortality and lapses), collectively the key assumptions, as a critical audit matter. Due to the extent of audit effort required for the measurement uncertainty, the evaluation of the key assumptions required especially subjective auditor judgment, and specialized skills and knowledge.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. With the assistance of actuarial professionals, we evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s liability for future policy benefits for long-term care insurance and life insurance. This included controls related to the development of the key assumptions. We also involved actuarial professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:

•evaluating the actuarial methodologies and key assumptions used to estimate the liability for future policy benefits for long-term care insurance and life insurance for consistency with generally accepted actuarial methodologies and industry practice

•evaluating certain of the Company’s key assumptions by assessing them in comparison to the Company’s relevant historical experience data and industry data or qualitative factors, and the consistency of the assumptions with each other

•assessing the reasonableness of estimated future in-force rate action assumptions for long-term care insurance for a selection of estimated rate increases by a) comparing to the Company’s historical regulatory approvals and regulatory information and b) assessing the Company’s ability to achieve the estimated future in-force rate actions by reperforming the Company’s calculations and comparing to the requirements to request a rate action.

Additional insurance liabilities for secondary guarantees for universal and term universal contracts

As discussed in Notes 2, 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the additional insurance liabilities consist of secondary guarantees or product features in addition to the policyholder account balance on universal and term universal contracts. The additional insurance liability is equal to the sum of cumulative assessments multiplied by the current benefit ratio plus accrued interest, less excess payments. These additional benefit reserves are included in the liability for policyholder account balances in the consolidated balance sheets. The benefit ratio is equal to the present value of total expected benefit payments over the life of the contract divided by the present value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract, discounted by the projected crediting rate. The assumptions used to calculate the benefit ratio include insured mortality (i.e., life expectancy or longevity), interest rates and policyholder persistency or lapses, among other assumptions. The Company’s total policyholder account balances of $13,843 million as of December 31, 2025, included $2,986 million of additional insurance liabilities related to universal and term universal contracts.

We identified the assessment of the estimate of the additional insurance liabilities related to universal and term universal contracts (secondary guarantees) as a critical audit matter. Specifically, the evaluation of the mortality and lapse assumptions used in the estimation of the additional insurance liabilities required especially subjective auditor judgment. Increased effort and specialized skills were needed to evaluate the Company’s mortality and lapse assumptions and the impact of those assumptions on the additional insurance liabilities.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. With the assistance of actuarial professionals, where appropriate, we evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the valuation of the additional insurance liabilities. This included controls related to the development of the mortality and lapse assumptions. We tested the Company’s process to develop the universal and term universal contract additional insurance liabilities through the procedures below. We involved actuarial professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in:

•evaluating the methods and assumptions for consistency with generally accepted actuarial methodologies and industry practice

•evaluating the Company’s mortality and lapse assumptions by assessing the consistency of the assumptions with the underlying historical claims and lapse experience data and industry data

Mortgage insurance loss reserves

As discussed in Notes 2 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company estimates the liabilities for losses on insured mortgage loans (loss reserves) by estimating the number of loans in their inventory of delinquent loans that will result in a claim payment, which is referred to as the claim rate, and further estimating the amount of the claim payment, which is referred to as claim severity. The estimates are determined using a factor-based approach, in which assumptions of claim rates for loans in default and the average amount paid for loans that result in a claim are calculated using traditional actuarial techniques. The Company’s Enact segment’s mortgage insurance loss reserves were $572 million of a total liability for policy and contract claims of $727 million as of December 31, 2025.

We identified the assessment of the valuation of mortgage insurance loss reserves to be a critical audit matter. Specifically, the claim severity and claim rate assumptions used to estimate reserves required especially subjective auditor judgment. Additionally, the audit effort to assess the valuation of mortgage insurance loss reserves required the involvement of professionals with specialized knowledge and experience.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address the critical audit matter. With the assistance of actuarial professionals, we evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the valuation of mortgage insurance loss reserves. This included controls related to the review and approval of the claim severity and claim rate reserve factors used in the estimate for mortgage insurance loss reserves. We involved actuarial professionals with specialized knowledge and experience, who assisted in:

•assessing the Company’s reserving methodology by comparing to accepted actuarial methodologies

•developing an independent estimate and range for a portion of the mortgage insurance loss reserves, using the Company’s underlying historical claims and delinquency data and independently developed models and assumptions and assessing the position in the range and the year-over-year movements of the Company’s recorded mortgage insurance loss reserves within the developed independent range.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the Company’s auditor; however, we are aware that we have served as the Company’s auditor since at least 1996.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

(1) Nature of Business

Genworth Holdings, Inc. (“Genworth Holdings”) (formerly known as Genworth Financial, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware in 2003 in preparation for an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock, which was completed on May 28, 2004. On April 1, 2013, Genworth Holdings completed a holding company reorganization pursuant to which Genworth Holdings became a direct, 100% owned subsidiary of a new public holding company that it had formed. The new public holding company was incorporated in Delaware on December 5, 2012, in connection with the reorganization, and was renamed Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth Financial”) upon the completion of the reorganization.

The accompanying financial statements include on a consolidated basis the accounts of Genworth Financial and its affiliate companies in which it holds a majority voting interest or power to direct activities of certain variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which on a consolidated basis is referred to as “Genworth,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” unless the context otherwise requires. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. References to “Genworth Financial” refer solely to Genworth Financial, Inc., and not to any of its consolidated subsidiaries.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025 and in connection with the cessation of sales of long-term care insurance products through Genworth Life Insurance Company (“GLIC”), Genworth Financial’s wholly-owned subsidiary, we changed our reportable segments to better align with how we currently manage our business. Under the new reporting structure, we operate our business through the following two reportable segments:

•Enact. Enact Holdings, Inc. (“Enact Holdings”) comprises our Enact segment. Through Enact Holdings’ mortgage insurance subsidiaries, we offer private mortgage insurance products predominantly insuring prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans at specified coverage percentages (“primary mortgage insurance”). Enact Holdings also selectively enters into insurance transactions with lenders and investors, under which it insures a portfolio of loans at or after origination (“pool mortgage insurance”).

•Closed Block. We service a variety of protection and retirement income products that were previously sold through GLIC and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as our “legacy insurance subsidiaries.” Our primary protection products include long-term care and life insurance. Long-term care insurance products are intended to protect against the significant and escalating costs of long-term care services provided in the insured’s home or assisted living or nursing facilities. Life insurance products include traditional and non-traditional life insurance (term, universal and term universal life insurance as well as corporate-owned life insurance and funding agreements). Our retirement income products include fixed and variable annuities.

We believe the change in our reporting structure helps to enhance understanding of business performance and better aligns with our strategic priorities, including to maintain the self-sustainability of our legacy insurance subsidiaries, which are managed on a standalone basis. All prior period financial information has been recast to reflect the reorganized segment reporting structure.

In addition to our two reportable segments, we also have Corporate and Other, which includes debt financing expenses that are incurred at the Genworth Holdings level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, and eliminations of inter-segment transactions. Corporate and Other also includes the results of other businesses that are not individually reportable, such as start-up results of our CareScout business (“CareScout”), including aging care services offered through our CareScout services business (“CareScout Services”) and long-term care insurance products offered through our CareScout insurance business (“CareScout Insurance”), and certain international businesses.

Financial’s stock price and trading volume, and general business and market conditions, among other factors. The authorization has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time.

Pursuant to the programs, during 2025, Genworth Financial repurchased 30,662,006 shares of its common stock at an average price of $7.99 per share for a total cost of $248 million, including excise taxes and other costs paid in connection with acquiring the shares, and finalized repurchases under the July 2023 authorization. The repurchased shares were recorded at cost and presented as treasury stock in a separate caption in equity in our consolidated balance sheets.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

a) Premiums

For traditional long-duration insurance contracts, we report premiums as earned when due. For monthly mortgage insurance contracts, we report premiums as revenue over the period that coverage is provided. For single premium mortgage insurance contracts, we report premiums over the estimated policy life in accordance with the expected pattern of risk emergence as further described in our accounting policy for unearned premiums. In addition, we refund post-delinquent premiums received to the insured party if the delinquent loan goes to claim. We record a liability for premiums received on the delinquent loans consistent with our expectations of the rates at which delinquencies go to claim (“claim rates”).

Premiums received under annuity contracts without significant mortality risk and premiums received on investment and universal life insurance products are not reported as revenues but rather as deposits and are included in liabilities for policyholder account balances.

b) Net Investment Income and Net Investment Gains and Losses

Net investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and reflects amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on an effective yield basis. Income or loss upon call or prepayment of available-for-sale fixed maturity securities is recognized in net investment income, except for hybrid securities where the income or loss upon call is recognized in net investment gains and losses.

Investment income on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities is initially based upon yield, cash flow and prepayment assumptions at the date of purchase. Subsequent revisions in those assumptions are recorded using the retrospective or prospective method. Under the retrospective method used for mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities of high credit quality (ratings equal to or greater than “AA” or that are backed by a U.S. agency), which cannot be contractually prepaid in such a manner that we would not recover a substantial portion of the initial investment, amortized cost of the security is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the revised assumptions been in place at the date of purchase. The adjustments to amortized cost are recorded as a charge or credit to net investment income. Under the prospective method, which is used for all other mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, future cash flows are estimated and interest income is recognized going forward using the new internal rate of return.

Net investment gains and losses consist primarily of realized gains and losses from the sale of our available-for-sale fixed maturity securities and equity securities, changes to the allowance for credit losses, and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, limited partnership investments and derivative instruments. Investment gains and losses are calculated on the basis of specific identification on the trade date.

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

c) Policy Fees and Other Income

Policy fees and other income consist primarily of insurance charges assessed on universal and term universal life insurance contracts and fees assessed against customer account values. For universal and term universal life insurance contracts, charges to policyholder accounts for cost of insurance are recognized as revenue when due. Variable product fees are charged to variable annuity contractholders based upon the daily net assets of the contractholder’s and policyholder’s account values and are recognized as revenue when charged. Policy surrender fees are recognized as income when the policy is surrendered.

d) Investment Securities

At the time of purchase, we designate our fixed maturity securities as either available-for-sale or trading and report them in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Our portfolio of fixed maturity securities comprises primarily investment grade securities. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, net of the effect on policyholder contract balances and deferred income taxes, are reflected as unrealized investment gains or losses in a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Equity securities are recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets and changes in the fair value are reflected in net investment gains (losses).

Allowance for Credit Losses and Write-Downs of Available-For-Sale Fixed Maturity Securities

We regularly review securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in fair value is related to credit losses or other factors. If we have either (i) the intent to sell the security, or (ii) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security prior to recovering the amortized cost, we record a reduction to the security’s amortized cost and recognize the loss in net investment gains (losses) for the difference between the security’s amortized cost and fair value. If neither of the two preceding conditions exist, we determine whether the decline in fair value is related to credit losses or not completely due to other factors. In making this assessment, we assess the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency/agencies and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other considerations. If a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and a credit loss allowance is recognized in net investment gains (losses), limited to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Losses are written off against the allowance when deemed uncollectible or when we intend to sell or expect we will be required to sell a security prior to recovering its amortized cost. When there is an allowance for credit losses, we reassess the credit losses each balance sheet date and subsequent increases or decreases are recorded as an adjustment to the allowance for credit losses, with a corresponding gain or loss recorded in net investment gains (losses).

Estimating the cash flows expected to be collected is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with internal assumptions and judgments. When developing the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected at the individual security level, we utilize an analytical model that provides for various loss scenarios and consider the industry sector, current levels of subordination, geographic location and other relevant characteristics of the security or underlying assets, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts. We regularly monitor our investment portfolio to ensure that securities with a credit loss are identified in a timely manner and any losses are recognized in the proper period.

Accrued interest is included in accrued investment income in our consolidated balance sheet. We exclude accrued interest related to available-for-sale fixed maturity securities from the estimated allowance for credit losses. Accrued interest on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities is deemed uncollectible and typically written off after 90 days; therefore, we do not measure an allowance for credit losses related to accrued interest. Amounts written off related to accrued interest are recorded as a credit loss expense included in net investment gains (losses).

e) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We have fixed maturity securities, equity securities, short-term investments, limited partnerships, derivatives, embedded derivatives, separate account assets and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value.

121

Table of Contents

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations for which inputs are observable or where those significant value drivers are observable.

•Level 3—Instruments for which significant value drivers are unobservable.

Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as actively traded equity securities and actively traded mutual fund investments.

Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using industry-standard pricing methodologies, models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various inputs, such as interest rate, credit spread and foreign exchange rates for the underlying financial instruments. All significant inputs are observable, or derived from observable information in the marketplace or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Financial instruments in this category primarily include certain public and private corporate fixed maturity and equity securities, government or agency securities, certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, certain non-exchange-traded derivatives such as interest rate or foreign currency swaps and short-term investments.

Level 3 comprises financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on industry-standard pricing methodologies and internally developed models utilizing significant inputs not based on, nor corroborated by, readily available market information. In certain instances, this category may also utilize non-binding broker quotes. This category primarily consists of certain less liquid fixed maturity and equity securities, certain derivative instruments or embedded derivatives where we cannot corroborate the significant valuation inputs with market observable data and market risk benefits (“MRBs”).

As of each reporting period, all assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability, such as changes in fair value attributable to a particular input. We review the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3 at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. See note 19 for additional information related to fair value measurements.

f) Commercial Mortgage Loans

The carrying value of commercial mortgage loans is stated at principal amounts outstanding, net of unamortized premium or discount, deferred expenses and allowance for credit losses. Interest on loans is recognized on an accrual basis at the applicable interest rate on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and direct costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are amortized as level yield adjustments over the respective loan terms. Unamortized net fees or costs are recognized upon early repayment of the loans. Loan commitment fees are deferred and amortized on an effective yield basis over the term of the loan.

Commercial mortgage loans are considered past due when contractual payments have not been received from the borrower by the required payment date. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management’s opinion, the collection of principal or interest is not probable, typically when the collection of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. In determining whether it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due, we consider current payment status, debt service coverage ratios, occupancy levels and current loan-to-value. Income on loans on non-accrual

122

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

status is not recognized until we believe it is probable that we will collect all future contractual principal and interest. Commercial mortgage loans are written off against the allowance to the extent principal or interest is deemed uncollectible.

We determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses utilizing an analytical model that provides various loss scenarios based on historical experience adjusted for current events, trends, economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that result in a loss in the loan portfolio over the estimated life of the loans. We revert to historical credit loss experience for periods beyond forecasts that are reasonable and supportable. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective basis with consideration for debt service coverage ratio, debt-to-value, property type and geographic location. Key inputs into the analytical model include exposure, weighted-average life, return, historical loss rates and forecast scenarios. Actual amounts realized over time could differ from the amounts estimated for the allowance for credit losses reported in the consolidated financial statements. Additions and reductions to the allowance through periodic provisions or benefits are recorded in net investment gains (losses). See note 4 for additional disclosures related to commercial mortgage loans.

Accrued interest related to commercial mortgage loans is included in accrued investment income in our consolidated balance sheet and had a carrying value of $21 million and $23 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We do not measure an allowance for credit losses related to accrued interest as uncollectible accrued interest related to our commercial mortgage loans is written off after 90 days and once collectability is determined to be uncertain and not probable. Amounts written off related to accrued interest are recorded as a credit loss expense included in net investment gains (losses).

g) Limited Partnerships

Limited partnerships are accounted for at fair value when our partnership interest is considered minor (generally less than 3% to 5% ownership in the limited partnerships) and we exercise no influence over operating and financial policies. For limited partnerships that do not have a readily determinable fair value, we utilize the net asset value (“NAV”) from the underlying fund statements as a practical expedient for fair value. Changes in the estimated fair value of these investments are included in net investment gains (losses) and income and expenses are reported in net investment income. Investment distributions are evaluated to determine whether the distribution is a return on investment, such as capital gains, interest income and dividend income, or a return of capital. If our ownership percentage exceeds the minor threshold, limited partnerships are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Our proportionate share of the earnings or losses for limited partnerships accounted for using the equity method of accounting is included in net investment income. In applying either method, we use financial information provided by the investee generally on a one- to three-month lag. However, we consider whether an adjustment to the value is necessary when the measurement date is not aligned with our reporting date.

h) Derivatives

Derivative instruments are used to mitigate or reduce our exposure to interest rate, equity market and foreign currency exchange risk associated with assets and liabilities held and forecasted transactions.

On the date we enter into a derivative contract, management designates the derivative as a hedge of the identified exposure (cash flow or foreign currency). If a derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting, the changes in its fair value and all scheduled periodic settlement receipts and payments are reported in net income (loss).

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. In this documentation, we specifically identify the asset, liability or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item, state how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to the hedged item and set forth the method that will be used to retrospectively and prospectively assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness. We generally determine hedge effectiveness based on total changes in fair value of a perfectly effective hypothetical derivative for hedges of forecasted transactions and the total changes in fair value of the derivative instrument.

We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when: (i) it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; (iii) the derivative is de-designated as a hedge instrument; or (iv) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur.

123

Table of Contents

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

For all qualifying and highly effective cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the derivative continues to be carried in the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) are recognized immediately in net income (loss). When the hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, but is reasonably possible, the accumulated gain or loss remains in OCI and is recognized when the transaction affects net income (loss); however, prospective hedge accounting for the transaction is terminated. In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued on a cash flow hedge, amounts previously deferred in OCI are reclassified into net income (loss) when net income (loss) is impacted by the variability of the cash flow of the hedged item.

We may enter into contracts that are not themselves derivative instruments but contain embedded derivatives. For each contract, we assess whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to those of the host contract and determine whether a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative instrument.

If it is determined that the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and that a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a stand-alone derivative. Such embedded derivatives are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and are classified consistent with their host contract. Changes in their fair value are recognized in current period net income (loss). If we are unable to properly identify and measure an embedded derivative for separation from its host contract, the entire contract is carried in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current period net income (loss).

Changes in the fair value of non-qualifying derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are reported in net investment gains (losses) with the exception of financial futures, which are associated with our MRBs and are reported in changes in fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges.

The majority of our derivative arrangements require the posting of collateral upon meeting certain net exposure thresholds. The amounts recognized for derivative counterparty collateral received by us are recorded in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash with a corresponding amount recorded in other liabilities to represent our obligation to return the collateral retained by us. We held no cash collateral from counterparties as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. We also receive non-cash collateral that is not recognized in our consolidated balance sheet unless we exercise our right to sell or re-pledge the underlying asset. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of non-cash collateral received was $17 million and $11 million, respectively, and the underlying assets were not sold or re-pledged. We pledged $1,717 million and $1,592 million of fixed maturity securities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Fixed maturity securities that we pledge as collateral remain in our consolidated balance sheet within fixed maturity securities available-for-sale. Any cash collateral pledged to a derivative counterparty is derecognized with a receivable recorded in other assets for the right to receive our cash collateral back from the counterparty. Daily changes in the fair value of the derivative contract, commonly referred to as variation margin, for derivatives cleared through a central clearing party, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, are treated as daily settlements of the derivative contract.

i) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Certificates of deposit, money market funds and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows. Items with maturities greater than three months but less than one year at the time of acquisition are generally considered short-term investments.

j) Deferred Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs include costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts and are capitalized in the period incurred and deferred.

124

Table of Contents

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

Acquisition costs related to our long-duration insurance contracts primarily include commissions in excess of ultimate renewal commissions and for contracts issued, certain other costs such as underwriting, medical inspection, premium taxes and issuance expenses. Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) is measured on a grouped basis consistent with cohorts used to estimate the related liability for future policy benefits. DAC is deferred and amortized on a constant level basis for each cohort over the expected term of the related contracts, which approximates straight-line amortization.

For our long-term care insurance products, DAC is amortized in proportion to total life count. For our life insurance products, DAC is amortized in proportion to the face amount in-force. For our fixed and variable annuity products, DAC is amortized in proportion to policy count. Assumptions used to amortize DAC are consistent with the assumptions used to estimate the related liability for future policy benefits. Revised assumptions are recognized prospectively over the remaining term of the related contract. The amortization rate is applied at the beginning of the current reporting period and reflects information available through the end of the current reporting period, including assumption updates, if applicable, and actual experience.

Policyholders can elect to modify the benefits of certain products. If a contract modification results in substantial changes to the contract, the DAC on the original contract is written off immediately through income and any new deferrable costs associated with the new contract are deferred. If a contract modification does not substantially change the contract, the DAC on the original contract will continue to be amortized and any acquisition costs associated with the related modification are expensed immediately.

Acquisition costs related to our mortgage insurance contracts primarily consist of underwriting costs and are amortized in proportion to estimated gross profit to the extent they are recoverable from future profits.

k) Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Present Value of Future Profits. In conjunction with the acquisition of a block of insurance policies or investment contracts, a portion of the purchase price is assigned to the right to receive future gross profits arising from existing insurance and investment contracts. This intangible asset, called PVFP, represents the actuarially estimated present value of future cash flows from the acquired policies. PVFP is amortized in a manner consistent with the amortization of DAC, which is in proportion to the face amount in-force for life insurance products. We test PVFP annually for recoverability as part of premium deficiency testing.

Deferred Sales Inducements to Contractholders. We defer sales inducements to contractholders for features on variable annuities that entitle the contractholder to an incremental amount to be credited to the account value upon making a deposit, and for fixed annuities with crediting rates higher than the contract’s expected ongoing crediting rates for periods after the inducement. Deferred sales inducements to contractholders are reported as a separate intangible asset and amortized in benefits and other changes in policy reserves using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC.

Other Intangible Assets. We amortize the costs of other intangibles over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, and are written down to fair value if impaired. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment using a qualitative or quantitative assessment and are written down to fair value as required.

Goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. The determination of fair value requires the use of estimates and judgment, at the “reporting unit” level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business, one level below that operating segment (the “component” level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at the component level. If the reporting unit’s fair value is below its carrying value, we recognize an impairment in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the reporting unit up to the amount of recorded goodwill. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded in 2025.

l) Reinsurance

Premium revenue, benefits and acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, are reported net of the amounts relating to reinsurance ceded to other companies in the consolidated statements of operations. Amounts due from reinsurers for incurred and estimated future claims are reflected in the reinsurance recoverable asset in the consolidated balance sheets. Amounts received from reinsurers that represent recovery of acquisition costs are netted against DAC so that the net amount is capitalized. The cost of reinsurance, or the difference between amounts paid and the liabilities ceded at the inception of the reinsurance agreement, is deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with DAC over the terms of the related reinsurance treaties using the same assumptions as those used to account for the underlying reinsured policies. If we determine that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk, we record the agreement using the deposit method of accounting.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Reinsurance Recoverables

The allowance for credit losses related to reinsurance recoverables is evaluated based on historical loss experience adjusted for current events and reasonable and supportable forecasts from both internal and external sources. The allowance is measured by reinsurer, taking into consideration the reinsured product type and collateral type, and is calculated based on an externally reported probability of default corresponding to the reinsurer’s credit rating and the expected duration of the reinsurer’s contractual obligation to reimburse us for ceded claims on the underlying policies. Our estimate of the allowance reflects consideration for collateral securing the reinsurance agreements and expected recoveries of amounts previously charged off and expected to be charged off. We also consider other credit risk factors, including, among other factors, the historical frequency and severity of the associated insurance claims, aging of recoverables and regulatory, legal and economic factors, to determine if an additional incremental allowance for credit losses is required. No reversion adjustments are necessary as the starting point for our allowance for credit losses reflects historical loss experience covering the expected duration of the reinsurer’s contractual obligation to reimburse us. If available facts and circumstances indicate the reinsurance recoverable does not reflect expectations consistent with the collective analysis, the reinsurance recoverable is assessed on a separate basis. Write-offs are deducted from the allowance in the period the reinsurance recoverable is determined to be uncollectible.

m) Separate Accounts

Separate account assets represent funds for which the investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to the contractholders and are reflected in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value, reported as summary total separate account assets with an equivalent summary total reported for liabilities. Amounts assessed against the contractholders for mortality, administrative and other services are included in revenues. Net investment income and net investment gains (losses) accrue to the benefit of the contractholder and are offset within the same line item in the consolidated statements of operations; as a result, there is no impact to net income (loss). There are no gains or losses on transfers of assets from the general account to the separate account.

n) Insurance Reserves

Future Policy Benefits

The liability for future policy benefits is equal to the present value of expected future benefits and claim-related expenses, less the present value of expected future net premiums. Cash flow assumptions, as applicable, used to estimate the liability for future policy benefits include health care experience (including type of care and cost of care), policyholder persistency or lapses (i.e., the probability that a policy or contract will remain in-force from one period to the next), insured mortality (i.e., life expectancy or longevity) and insured morbidity (i.e., frequency and severity of claim, including claim termination rates and benefit utilization rates). Cash flow assumptions associated with our long-term care insurance products in our Closed Block segment also include expected impacts of our in-force management actions, such as future in-force rate actions (including premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions) and other reduced benefit options. Estimates of future in-force rate actions include those that are approved or anticipated to be approved, including anticipated premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions from rate actions not yet filed. Other reduced benefit options represent alternative options offered to our policyholders outside of in-force rate actions. Claim termination rates for our long-term care insurance products represent the expected rates at which claims end, and benefit utilization rates represent

126

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

the available policy benefits expected to be used. Both claim termination rates and benefit utilization rates are influenced by, among other things, gender, age at claim, diagnosis, type of care needed, benefit period and daily benefit amount.

All payments under an insurance contract, including future expected claims and claims incurred, as well as related expenses, are measured together as an integrated reserve. As a result, the aggregate liability is presented as one line item within the liability for future policy benefits in our consolidated balance sheets, excluding amounts related to our Enact segment and certain life insurance and fixed annuity products.

The net premium ratio for long-duration traditional and limited-payment contracts is the portion of gross premiums required to provide for all future benefits. The net premium ratio is equal to the present value of actual historical and expected future benefits and expenses divided by the present value of actual historical and expected future gross premiums. For the purposes of calculating the net premium ratio, traditional and limited-payment long-duration insurance contracts are generally grouped into annual calendar-year cohorts based on the contract issue date, product type and company. Limited-payment contracts are grouped into cohorts separately from other traditional products, and riders are combined with the associated base policies. Acquired contracts are grouped by acquisition date, and reinsurance recoverables are grouped by treaty effective date.

Cash flow assumptions used to estimate the liability for future policy benefits are monitored quarterly and are updated if emerging experience indicates a change is necessary. As a result, we expect to update the cash flow assumptions related to the implementation timing and approval amounts of our long-term care insurance in-force rate actions in our Closed Block segment on a quarterly basis. We update the net premium ratio quarterly for actual historical experience; therefore, during interim reporting periods we replace forecasted cash flow assumptions with actual cash flows with any difference recorded in net income (loss).

In addition, all cash flow assumptions are reviewed at least annually in the same period each year. We conduct a formal review and update cash flow assumptions as necessary based on experience studies during the fourth quarter each year. Changes in cash flow assumptions are recorded using a retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment by recalculating the net premium ratio using actual historical experience and updated future cash flow estimates over the expected remaining life of the contracts.

The liability for future policy benefits is measured using two different discount rates, a current discount rate and a locked-in discount rate. The current discount rate is used to remeasure the liability for future policy benefits recorded in the consolidated balance sheets and is a current upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield, commonly interpreted to be a single-A rated bond rate, with the same duration as the corresponding liability. The current discount rate is updated quarterly, and the difference between the liability measured using the locked-in rate and the liability measured using the current rate is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The methodology used to determine the current discount rate assumption maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The current discount rate assumption is based on a single-A curve published by a market data service. For cash flows projected beyond the observable curve, we use estimation techniques consistent with Level 3 fair value measurements to interpolate from the last observable rate to an estimated ultimate long-term rate.

The locked-in discount rate is used to determine amounts recorded to net income (loss) and is held constant for the purposes of calculating the net premium ratio and interest accretion on the liability for future policy benefits. For policies in-force prior to January 1, 2021, the locked-in discount rate is equal to the discount rate in effect immediately prior to January 1, 2021. For contracts issued on or after January 1, 2021, the locked-in discount rate for each issue-year cohort is determined as a single discount rate, calculated as the weighted-average monthly single-A fixed-income instrument forward curves over the calendar year determined using the methodology used for the current discount rate assumption, weighted using annualized premiums, face amounts and monthly premiums for long-term care insurance, life insurance and fixed and variable annuities, respectively.

When the net premium ratio is updated, the liability for future policy benefits is remeasured at the beginning of the current reporting period using the updated cash flows and revised net premium ratio discounted by the locked-in discount rate. The remeasured liability for future policy benefits is compared to the liability for future policy benefits as of the prior reporting period using the locked-in discount rate, with any difference recorded as liability remeasurement (gains) losses in current period net income (loss). If the present value of future expected benefits and claim-related expenses exceeds the

127

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

present value of future expected gross premiums, the net premium ratio is capped at 100% and the liability for future policy benefits is increased with a corresponding adjustment to net income (loss). In the event the liability for future policy benefits is negative as a result of the present value of future net premiums exceeding the present value of future expected benefits, we record a flooring adjustment to ensure the liability for future policy benefits for each cohort is not less than zero. This is most prevalent in our term life insurance products due to their product design of a level premium period followed by annual premium rate increases. Impacts for flooring adjustments are recorded to benefits and other changes in policy reserves in current period net income (loss).

Estimates and actuarial assumptions used for establishing the liability for future policy benefits involve the exercise of significant judgment, and changes in assumptions or deviations of actual experience from assumptions can have, and in the past have had, material impacts on our liability for future policy benefits and net income (loss). Assumptions are based on management’s best estimate and consider a variety of factors including historical and industry experience and trends, as well as market conditions and other factors. Refer to note 8 for additional information related to deviations between actual and expected experience during the period.

Deferred Profit Liability

We establish a deferred profit liability within the liability for future policy benefits in the consolidated balance sheets for limited-payment products at the time of contract issuance for any amount of gross premiums received in excess of net premiums, which is amortized and recognized in benefits and other changes in policy reserves in net income (loss) in proportion to expected future benefit payments for our fixed annuity products. We accrue interest on the unamortized deferred profit liability balance using the locked-in discount rate for the related liability for future policy benefits. Cash flow assumptions related to the deferred profit liability are consistent with the assumptions used to estimate the related liability for future policy benefits and are updated at the same time as the related liability for future policy benefits. We recalculate the deferred profit liability using updated cash flow assumptions as of the beginning of the current reporting period and compare it to the carrying amount as of the prior reporting period, with any difference recorded as liability remeasurement (gains) losses in current period net income (loss).

Policyholder Account Balances

The liability for policyholder account balances represents the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the balance sheet date for investment-type and universal and term universal life insurance contracts. Investment-type contracts are broadly defined to include contracts without significant mortality or morbidity risk. Payments received from sales of investment contracts are recorded as deposits to the policyholder account balance. The policyholder account balance liability consists of accumulated account deposits, plus interest credited, less policyholder withdrawals and other charges assessed against the account balance. Interest rates credited to investment contracts are guaranteed for the initial policy term with renewal rates determined as necessary by management.

In addition, some indexed crediting features included in our fixed annuity and universal life insurance products are accounted for as embedded derivatives. See notes 5 and 19 for additional information on these embedded derivatives and related fair value measurement disclosures.

Additional Insurance Liabilities

Additional insurance liabilities consist of secondary guarantees or product features in addition to the policyholder account balance on universal and term universal life insurance contracts that do not meet the criteria to be classified as MRBs or embedded derivatives. The additional insurance liability is equal to the sum of cumulative assessments multiplied by the current benefit ratio plus accrued interest, less excess payments. These additional benefit reserves are included in the liability for policyholder account balances in the consolidated balance sheets. The benefit ratio is equal to the present value of total expected benefit payments over the life of the contract divided by the present value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract, discounted by the projected crediting rate. The assumptions used to calculate the benefit ratio include insured mortality (i.e., life expectancy or longevity), interest rates and policyholder persistency or lapses, among other assumptions. The change in the additional insurance liability from the beginning of the current quarterly reporting period to the end of the current quarterly reporting period due to applying a revised benefit ratio is recorded as liability remeasurement (gains) losses in current period net income (loss).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The calculation of our additional insurance liabilities includes investment performance. Therefore, we are required to analyze the impacts from net unrealized investment gains and losses on our available for-sale investment securities backing our additional insurance liabilities, as if those unrealized investment gains and losses were realized. These “shadow adjustments” result in the recognition of unrealized gains and losses on our additional insurance liabilities in a manner consistent with unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities, which are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Changes to net unrealized investment gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities backing our additional insurance liabilities may increase or decrease the shadow adjustments recorded within our additional insurance liabilities balance from period to period.

Premium Deficiency Testing

We conduct annual premium deficiency testing for all reserves related to our universal and term universal life insurance products included in additional insurance liabilities. A premium deficiency exists when the total liability currently established plus the current present value of expected future gross premiums (expected deposits to be paid by the policyholders, including any unearned revenue, and anticipated investment income) is less than the current present value of expected future benefits and settlement costs (including any unamortized PVFP). If it is determined a premium deficiency exists, PVFP is first written off, followed by an accrual for a premium deficiency reserve, if necessary. If a premium deficiency is recorded, PVFP amortization and the associated liabilities are remeasured using updated assumptions.

o) Market Risk Benefits

MRBs are benefit features associated with our fixed and variable annuity contracts that provide protection to the contractholder while exposing us to other-than-nominal capital market risk. MRBs are measured at fair value using an income-based valuation model. Changes in fair value of market risk benefits, excluding changes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk (or non-performance risk) are reported as changes in fair value of market risk benefits and associated hedges in current period net income (loss). The portion of the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

We offer certain minimum guarantees associated with our fixed annuity contracts that are classified as MRBs, including living benefits such as a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (“GMWB”). The GMWB allows contractholders to withdraw a pre-defined percentage of account value or benefit base each year, either for a specified period of time or for the contractholders’ lifetime.

In addition, we offer certain minimum guarantees associated with our variable annuity contracts that are classified as MRBs. Our variable annuity contracts usually contain a basic guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”) which provides a minimum benefit to be paid upon the annuitant’s death equal to the larger of account value or the return of net deposits. Some variable annuity contracts permit contractholders to purchase through riders, at an additional charge, enhanced death benefits such as the highest contract anniversary value, accumulated net deposits at a stated rate or a combination thereof. Some of our variable annuity contracts provide the contractholder with living benefits such as a GMWB or certain types of guaranteed annuitization benefits. Additionally, some of our variable annuity contracts provide the contractholder with a guaranteed payout annuity floor (“GPAF”), which provides protection to the contractholder from the capital market risk of the variable annuity payment falling below the guaranteed floor.

See notes 11 and 19 for additional information related to MRBs and related significant inputs, judgments, valuation methods and assumptions used in the fair value measurement.

p) Liability for Policy and Contract Claims

The liability for policy and contract claims, or loss reserves, represents the amount needed to provide for the estimated ultimate cost of settling claims relating to insured events that have occurred on or before the end of the respective reporting period. The estimated liability includes requirements for future payments of: (i) losses that have been reported to the insurer; (ii) losses related to insured events that have occurred but that have not been reported to the insurer as of the date the liability is estimated; and (iii) loss adjustment expenses. Loss adjustment expenses include costs incurred in the claim settlement process such as legal fees and costs to record, process and adjust claims. As is common accounting

practice in the mortgage insurance industry and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we do not establish loss reserves for future claims on insured loans that are not in default or believed to be in default.

Estimates and actuarial assumptions used for establishing the liability for policy and contract claims involve the exercise of significant judgment. Because these assumptions relate to factors that are not known in advance, change over time, are difficult to accurately predict and are inherently uncertain, we cannot determine with precision the ultimate amounts we will pay for actual claims or the timing of those payments. Small changes in assumptions or small deviations of actual experience from assumptions can have, and in the past have had, material impacts on our reserves, results of operations and financial condition.

The liabilities for our mortgage insurance policies represent our best estimates of the liabilities at the time based on known facts, trends and other external factors, including home prices, unemployment, government housing policies, state foreclosure timelines, general economic conditions, interest rates, tax policy, credit availability and mortgage products. Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are based on notices of mortgage loan defaults and estimates of defaults that have been incurred but have not been reported by loan servicers. Reserves for losses are established by estimating the number of loans in our inventory of delinquent loans that will result in a claim payment, which is referred to as the claim rate, and further estimating the amount of the claim payment, which is referred to as claim severity. The estimates are determined using a factor-based approach, in which assumptions of claim rates for loans in default and the average amount paid for loans that result in a claim are calculated using traditional actuarial techniques. Over time, as the status of the underlying delinquent loans moves toward foreclosure and the likelihood of the associated claim loss increases, the amount of the loss reserves associated with the potential claims may also increase.

Management considers the liability for policy and contract claims provided to be its best estimate to cover the losses that have occurred. Management monitors actual experience, and where circumstances warrant, will revise its assumptions. Our liability for policy and contract claims is reviewed regularly, with changes in our estimates of future claims recorded in net income (loss). Future developments may result in losses greater or less than the liability for policy and contract claims provided.

q) Unearned Premiums

For single premium mortgage insurance products, we recognize a portion of the revenue in premiums earned in the current period, while the remaining portion is deferred as unearned premiums and earned over time in accordance with the expected pattern of risk emergence. If single premium policies are cancelled and the premium is non-refundable, the remaining unearned premium related to each cancelled policy is recognized to earned premiums upon notification of the cancellation. Expected pattern of risk emergence on which we base premium recognition is inherently judgmental and is based on actuarial analysis of historical experience. We periodically review our premium earnings recognition models with any adjustments to the estimates reflected as a cumulative adjustment in current period net income (loss). Our reviews include the consideration of recent and projected loss experience, policy cancellation experience and refinement of actuarial methods.

r) Stock-Based Compensation

For share-based equity awards, we determine fair value on the grant date and recognize the related compensation expense, adjusted for expected forfeitures, in net income (loss) over the respective vesting period of the awards.

s) Employee Benefit Plans

We provide employees with a defined contribution pension plan and recognize expense throughout the year based on the employee’s age, service and eligible pay. We make an annual contribution to the plan. We also provide employees with defined contribution savings plans. We recognize expense for our contributions to the savings plans at the time employees make contributions to the plans.

Some employees participate in defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans. We recognize expense for these plans based upon actuarial valuations performed by external experts. We estimate aggregate benefits by using assumptions for employee turnover, future compensation increases, rates of return on pension plan assets and future health

130

care costs. We recognize an expense for differences between actual experience and estimates over the average future service period of participants. We recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit plan as an asset or liability in our consolidated balance sheets and recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through OCI. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized a liability for these plans in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

t) Income Taxes

We determine deferred tax assets and/or liabilities by multiplying the differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such differences are recovered or settled if there is no change in law. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in net income (loss) in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are estimated based on our assessment of the realizability of such amounts.

Our companies have elected to file a single U.S. consolidated income tax return (the “life/non-life consolidated return”). All companies domesticated in the United States are included in the life/non-life consolidated return as allowed by the tax law and regulations, with the exception of CareScout Insurance Company, which became a life insurance company and is required to file separately for a period of five years effective 2025. We have a tax sharing agreement in place and all intercompany balances related to this agreement are settled at least annually.

u) Loss Recoveries

We recognize loss recoveries when the recovery is probable to occur and reasonably estimable. To be considered probable to occur, recovery amounts may not be subject to dispute. Loss recoveries include amounts Genworth has received or expects to collect from AXA S.A. (“AXA”) related to previously recognized payment protection insurance (“PPI”) mis-selling losses paid to AXA, which are reported as income (loss) from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. See note 22 for additional information on the AXA litigation with Santander Cards UK Limited (“Santander”) and Genworth’s related loss recoveries.

v) Variable Interest Entities

We are involved in certain entities that are considered VIEs as defined under U.S. GAAP, and accordingly, we evaluate the VIE to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary and are required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the entity. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise that has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of the primary beneficiary for a VIE can be complex and requires management judgment regarding the expected results of the entity and how those results are absorbed by variable interest holders, as well as which party has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIEs. Our primary involvement related to VIEs includes certain investments and reinsurance transactions.

We hold investments in certain structures that are considered VIEs. Our investments represent beneficial interests that are primarily in the form of structured securities or limited partnership investments. Our involvement in these structures typically represents a passive investment in the returns generated by the VIE and typically does not result in having significant influence over the economic performance of the VIE. Investments in limited partnerships or similar entities are generally limited partner or non-managing member equity investments in a widely held fund that is sponsored and managed by a reputable asset manager. We are not the primary beneficiary of any VIE investment in a limited partnership or similar entity. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total carrying value of these investments was $3,450 million and $3,104 million, respectively. Our maximum exposure to loss is equal to the outstanding carrying value and future funding commitments. We have not contributed, and do not plan to contribute, any additional financial or other support outside of what is contractually obligated.

We have excess of loss reinsurance agreements with entities that are considered VIEs. These entities finance the reinsurance coverage by issuing mortgage insurance-linked notes to unaffiliated investors. The assets of the VIEs are deposited in reinsurance trusts for our benefit that will be the source of reinsurance claim payments. Our involvement with these VIEs represents mortgage insurance claim coverage through excess of loss reinsurance, which includes significant

insurance risk and a reasonable possibility of a significant loss but does not result in the unilateral power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIEs’ economic performance or result in the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits. Accordingly, consolidation of the VIEs is not required. Refer to note 7 for additional information related to our reinsurance agreements with entities that are considered VIEs.

w) Leases

We have leased assets predominantly classified as operating leases, which are recognized both as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability in our consolidated balance sheets. Our leased assets consist of office space in eight locations in the United States and one location in Mexico. Lease payments included in the calculation of our lease liability include fixed amounts contained within each rental agreement and variable lease payments that are based upon an index or rate. We combine lease and non-lease components and as a result, non-lease components are included in the calculation of our lease liability. Our remaining lease terms ranged from less than one year to 13 years and had a weighted-average remaining lease term of eight years as of December 31, 2025. The implicit rate of our lease agreements was not readily determinable; therefore, we utilized our incremental borrowing rate to discount future lease payments. The weighted-average discount rate was 6.9% as of December 31, 2025. The amount of contractual undiscounted lease obligations due in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030 and thereafter is $12 million, $11 million, $5 million, $4 million and $26 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the operating lease liability recorded in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet of $45 million was net of imputed interest of $13 million.

x) Accounting Changes

Derivative Accounting Scope Refinement

On December 31, 2025, we elected to early adopt new accounting guidance to refine the scope of derivative accounting. The guidance added a scope exception for certain contracts that are not exchange-traded and have underlying variables based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract. In accordance with the new accounting guidance, we adopted this guidance prospectively as of December 31, 2025, which did not have any impact at adoption.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

On January 1, 2025, we adopted new accounting guidance to improve income tax disclosures. The guidance requires annual disclosure of specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation, separate disclosure of additional information related to reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and additional disclosures about income taxes paid, among other qualitative and quantitative disclosure improvements. We adopted this guidance using the retrospective method, which had no impact on our consolidated financial statements but expanded our income tax disclosures reflected in note 16 herein.

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

On January 1, 2024, we adopted new accounting guidance to improve reportable segment disclosures, which was effective for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and interim reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2025. The guidance requires annual and interim disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and other segment items. The guidance also requires disclosures about a segment’s profit or loss and assets, previously only required annually, to be disclosed on an interim basis. We adopted this guidance using the retrospective method, which had no impact on our consolidated financial statements but expanded our segment disclosures reflected in note 21 herein.

Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions

On January 1, 2024, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the fair value measurement of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The guidance clarified existing fair value guidance on measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions and added new disclosures related to these securities. We adopted this guidance using the prospective method, which did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Long-Duration Targeted Improvements

On January 1, 2023, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the recognition and measurement of long-duration insurance contracts, commonly known as long-duration targeted improvements. This new accounting guidance significantly changed the recognition and measurement of the assets and liabilities associated with the long-duration insurance contracts in our legacy insurance subsidiaries, and also significantly increased our disclosure requirements. The new guidance did not impact our Enact segment or Corporate and Other.

We adopted this new accounting guidance using the modified retrospective transition method for all topics except for MRBs, which was required to be applied using the retrospective transition method. The modified retrospective transition method generally resulted in applying the guidance to contracts on the basis of existing carrying values as of January 1, 2021 (the “Transition Date”). The new accounting guidance, for all topics, was applied as of the Transition Date with an adjustment to beginning retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Our long-term care insurance products were most significantly impacted by the adoption due to the requirement to remeasure the liability for future policy benefits and related reinsurance recoverables at the single-A bond rate as of the Transition Date, which at that time was materially lower than the locked-in discount rate.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, January 2021 and December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to reference rate reform, which was effective for us on January 1, 2020 and effective for contract modifications made through December 31, 2024. The guidance temporarily eased the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform, which included the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). This guidance provided optional practical expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to investments, derivatives or other transactions affected by reference rate reform such as those that impact the assessment of derivative hedge effectiveness and contract modifications, to include continuing hedge accounting when certain critical terms of a hedging relationship change and modifying certain effectiveness assessments to exclude certain potential sources of ineffectiveness. The guidance was updated to clarify that the optional practical expedients and exceptions can be applied to derivatives that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment. In addition to the optional practical expedients, the guidance included a general principle that permits an entity to consider contract modifications due to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. We adopted this guidance prospectively and it did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

y) Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In September 2025, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to accounting for internal-use software costs. The new guidance modified the cost capitalization threshold by removing project development stages and adding new capitalization considerations. Under the new standard, eligible costs are capitalized when management has authorized and committed funds to the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose, commonly referred to as “the probable-to-complete threshold.” Additional disclosure will be required of internal-use software and related amortization regardless of how the internal-use software is classified on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2028 using the prospective, modified retrospective or retrospective method, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the guidance may have on our processes, controls and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to require disaggregated disclosures in the notes to the financial statements of certain categories of expenses included in our consolidated statements of operations, including employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. This guidance is effective for us for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2028 using the prospective or retrospective method, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the guidance may have on our processes, controls and disclosures.

z) Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we corrected the measurement of our reinsurance recoverable for our traditional life insurance products that include non-proportional reinsurance treaties by aligning the recognition of gains on the recoverable assets with the underlying losses on the direct liabilities on a cohort basis. The correction only affected our reinsurance recoverable assets, deferred income taxes and total equity, and had no impact on the underlying reinsurance agreements or cash flows. We evaluated the effects of the correction on our previously issued financial statements, on a qualitative and quantitative basis, in accordance with accounting guidance issued by the FASB and the Securities and Exchange Commission related to accounting changes and error corrections and concluded the error was not material to our previously issued consolidated financial statements in any of the prior periods in which it occurred. However, we corrected the error in our historical financial statements included in this annual report by reducing equity as of December 31, 2022 by $50 million after-tax and by adjusting earnings in the fourth quarter of 2025, which increased net income by $11 million.

Under the corrected accounting treatment, non-proportional ceded reinsurance is floored and a gain is immediately recognized only to the extent that a flooring adjustment is recorded to the underlying direct liability for future policy benefits. The total ceded reinsurance gain in any given period is limited to the loss recognized on the underlying direct liability for future policy benefits in the same period, and no gain or loss is recognized upon entering into a reinsurance contract. See note 2(n) for a discussion of our policy for flooring the liability for future policy benefits.

The following table presents the impact of correcting the affected components of equity as of December 31:


	2023						2022
(Amounts in millions)	As reported		Adjustments		As revised		As reported		Adjustments		As revised

We did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on securities in an unrealized loss position included in the tables above. Based on a qualitative and quantitative review of the issuers of the securities, we believe the decline in fair value was largely due to increased interest rates since purchase and was not indicative of credit losses. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments. For all securities in an unrealized loss position without an allowance for credit losses, we expect to recover the amortized cost based on our estimate of the amount and timing of cash flows to be collected. We do not intend to sell nor do we expect that we will be required to sell these securities prior to recovering our amortized cost.

The scheduled maturity distribution of fixed maturity securities as of December 31, 2025 is set forth below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers of securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.


(Amounts in millions)	Amortized cost		Fair value
Due one year or less	$	1,543	$	1,543
Due after one year through five years	8,379		8,306

Commercial mortgage-backed	1,536		1,309
Other asset-backed	2,101		2,086
Total	$	48,150	$	45,762

As of December 31, 2025, securities issued by finance and insurance, utilities, consumer—non-cyclical and technology and communications industry groups represented approximately 26%, 15%, 14% and 10%, respectively, of our domestic and foreign corporate fixed maturity securities portfolio. No other industry group comprised more than 10% of our investment portfolio.

As of December 31, 2025, we did not hold any fixed maturity securities in any single issuer, other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, which exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, securities of $42 million and $44 million, respectively, were on deposit with various state government insurance departments in order to comply with relevant insurance regulations.

(e)Commercial Mortgage Loans

Our mortgage loans are collateralized by commercial properties, including multi-family residential buildings. The carrying value of commercial mortgage loans is stated at original cost net of principal payments, amortization and allowance for credit losses.

We diversify our commercial mortgage loans by both property type and geographic region. The following tables set forth the distribution across property type and geographic region for commercial mortgage loans as of December 31:

Total	$	6,304			$	6,411

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had one commercial mortgage loan in the office and industrial property types, respectively, with an amortized cost of $6 million and $7 million, respectively, that were more than 90 days past due and on non-accrual status. We wrote off $3 million and $4 million of these commercial mortgage loans during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to adjust the carrying value down to the fair value of the collateral. These loans did not have an allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we foreclosed on the commercial mortgage loan that was past due as of December 31, 2024 and recorded the property as real estate owned in other invested assets in our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, we also had two commercial mortgage loans in the industrial property type with an aggregate amortized cost of $3 million that were 31 to 60 days past due. For a discussion of our policy related to placing commercial mortgage loans on non-accrual status, see note 2.

Occasionally, we may make modifications of interest rate reductions, term extensions and/or principal forgiveness related to commercial mortgage loans. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. As the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses as a result of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we modified one commercial mortgage loan where the borrower was determined to be experiencing financial difficulty. This loan was included in the office property type with an amortized cost of $9 million as of December 31, 2025, which represented 1% of the total property type. The modification extended the contractual term of the loan by two years, with the option to extend by one additional year up to three times, and resulted in an increase to the interest rate. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we modified two commercial mortgage loans where the borrower was determined to be experiencing financial difficulty. These loans were included in the office and mixed use property types with an amortized cost of $35 million and $25 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024, which represented 3% and 7% of their total respective property types. The modifications extended the contractual term of each loan by ten years and resulted in an increase to the interest rate. The commercial mortgage loan in the office property type was also changed from interest-only to amortizing. We continue to account for these modified loans as existing loans. As of December 31, 2025, all loans modified during the 12 months prior remained current.

The following table sets forth the allowance for credit losses related to commercial mortgage loans as of and for the years ended December 31:



(Amounts in millions)	2025		2024		2023
Allowance for credit losses:
Beginning balance	$	39	$	27	$	22
Provision	23		16		5
Write-offs	(3)		(4)		—
Recoveries	—		—		—
Ending balance	$	59	$	39	$	27

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we increased the provision for credit losses primarily as a result of updates to the analytical model used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we increased the provision for credit losses primarily as a result of annual updates to underlying metrics included in the analytical model used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, which resulted in higher estimated loss rates.

In evaluating the credit quality of commercial mortgage loans, we assess the performance of the underlying loans using both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Certain risks associated with commercial mortgage loans can be evaluated by reviewing both the debt-to-value and debt service coverage ratio to understand both the probability of the borrower not being able to make the necessary loan payments as well as the ability to sell the underlying property for an amount that would enable us to recover our unpaid principal balance in the event of default by the borrower. The average debt-to-value ratio is based on our most recent estimate of the fair value for the underlying property which is evaluated at least annually and updated more frequently if necessary to better indicate risk associated with the loan. A lower debt-to-value indicates that our loan value is more likely to be recovered in the event of default by the borrower if the property were sold. The debt service coverage ratio is based on “normalized” annual income of the property compared to the payments required under the terms of the loan. Normalization allows for the removal of annual one-time events such as capital expenditures, prepaid or late real estate tax payments or non-recurring third-party fees (such as legal, consulting or contract fees). This ratio is evaluated at least annually and updated more frequently if necessary to better indicate risk associated with the loan. A higher debt service coverage ratio indicates the borrower is less likely to default on the loan. The debt service coverage ratio is not used without considering other factors associated with the borrower, such as the borrower’s liquidity or access to other resources that may result in our expectation that the borrower will continue to make the future scheduled payments.

(5) Derivative Instruments

Our business activities routinely deal with fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, currency exchange rates and other asset and liability prices. We use derivative instruments to mitigate or reduce some of these risks. We have established policies for managing each of these risks, including prohibitions on derivatives market-making and other speculative derivatives activities. These policies require the use of derivative instruments in concert with other techniques to reduce or mitigate these risks. While we use derivatives to mitigate or reduce risks, certain derivatives do not meet the accounting requirements to be designated as hedging instruments and are denoted as “derivatives not designated as hedges” in the following disclosures. For derivatives that meet the accounting requirements to be designated as hedges, the following disclosures for these derivatives are denoted as “derivatives designated as hedges,” which include cash flow hedges.

The following table sets forth our positions in derivative instruments as of December 31:

Cash Flow Hedges

Certain derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded as a component of OCI. We designate and account for the following as cash flow hedges when they have met the effectiveness requirements: (i) various types of interest rate swaps to convert floating rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities; (ii) receive U.S. dollar fixed on foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated investments; (iii) forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge against changes in interest rates associated with future fixed rate bond purchases and/or interest income; (iv) forward bond purchase commitments to hedge against the variability in the anticipated cash flows required to purchase future fixed rate bonds; and (v) other instruments to hedge the cash flows of various forecasted transactions.

The total balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) from derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of $187 million, net of taxes, recorded in stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2025 is expected to be reclassified to net income (loss) in the future, concurrently with and primarily offsetting changes in interest expense and interest income on floating rate instruments and interest income on future fixed rate bond purchases. Of this amount, $112 million, net of taxes, is expected to be reclassified to net income (loss) in the next 12 months. Actual amounts may vary from this amount as a result of market conditions. All forecasted transactions associated with qualifying cash flow hedges are expected to occur by 2057. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we reclassified $13 million, $10 million and $10 million, respectively, to net income (loss) in connection with forecasted transactions that were no longer considered reasonably possible of occurring.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges

We enter into certain non-qualifying derivative instruments such as equity index options and financial futures to mitigate the risks associated with liabilities that have guaranteed minimum benefits, fixed indexed annuities and indexed

universal life. Our fixed indexed annuity and indexed universal life insurance products with certain features are required to be bifurcated as embedded derivatives. Additionally, we have forward bond purchase commitments to hedge against the variability in the anticipated cash flows required to purchase future fixed rate bonds, as well as foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate currency risk associated with anticipated future foreign currency denominated cash flows.

(7) Reinsurance

We reinsure a portion of our policy risks to other insurance companies in order to reduce our ultimate losses, diversify our exposures and provide capital flexibility. We also assume certain policy risks written by other insurance companies. Reinsurance accounting is followed for ceded transactions when there is adequate insurance risk transfer. Otherwise, the deposit method of accounting is followed.

Reinsurance does not relieve us from our obligations to policyholders. In the event that the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations, we remain liable for the reinsured claims. We monitor both the financial condition of individual reinsurers and risk concentrations arising from similar geographic regions, activities and economic characteristics of reinsurers to lessen the risk of default by such reinsurers. Other than the relationship discussed below with Union Fidelity Life Insurance Company (“UFLIC”), we do not have significant concentrations of reinsurance with any one reinsurer that could have a material impact on our financial position.

Closed Block

As of December 31, 2025, the maximum amount of individual ordinary life insurance normally retained by us on any one individual life policy was $5 million.

We have several significant reinsurance transactions (“Reinsurance Transactions”) with UFLIC, an affiliate of General Electric Company, which now operates as GE Aerospace (“GE”). In the Reinsurance Transactions, we ceded to UFLIC in-force blocks of structured settlements issued prior to 2004, substantially all of our in-force blocks of variable annuities issued prior to 2004 and a block of long-term care insurance policies that we reinsured in 2000 from legal entities now a part of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company. Although we remain directly liable under these contracts and policies as the ceding insurer, the Reinsurance Transactions have the effect of transferring the financial results of the reinsured

156

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

blocks to UFLIC. To secure the payment of its obligations to us under the reinsurance agreements governing the Reinsurance Transactions, UFLIC has established trust accounts to maintain an aggregate amount of assets with a statutory book value at least equal to the statutory general account reserves attributable to the reinsured business less an amount required to be held in certain claims-paying accounts. A trustee administers the trust accounts and we are permitted to withdraw from the trust accounts amounts due to us pursuant to the terms of the reinsurance agreements that are not otherwise paid by UFLIC. In addition, pursuant to a Capital Maintenance Agreement, GE is obligated to maintain sufficient capital in UFLIC to maintain UFLIC’s risk-based capital (“RBC”) at not less than 150% of its company action level, as defined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”).

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our reinsurance recoverable related to UFLIC at the locked-in discount rate was $12,592 million and $12,773 million, respectively.

Under the terms of certain reinsurance agreements that our legacy insurance subsidiaries have with external parties, we pledged assets, including cash, in either separate portfolios or trusts for the benefit of external reinsurers. These assets support the reserves ceded to those external reinsurers. We have pledged fixed maturity securities, commercial mortgage loans and cash of $8,670 million, $329 million and $32 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025 and $8,337 million, $413 million and $33 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024 in connection with these reinsurance agreements. However, we maintain the ability to substitute these pledged assets for other qualified collateral, and may use, commingle, encumber or dispose of any portion of the collateral as long as there is no event of default and the remaining qualified collateral is sufficient to satisfy the collateral maintenance level.

Enact

Enact Holdings, through Enact Mortgage Insurance Corporation (“EMICO”), its principal U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiary, engages in various reinsurance transactions. EMICO engages in excess of loss transactions either through a panel of traditional reinsurance providers or through collateralized reinsurance with unaffiliated special purpose insurers that are considered VIEs. During the respective coverage periods of these agreements, EMICO retains the first layer of aggregate loss exposure on covered policies while the reinsurer provides the second layer of coverage, up to the defined reinsurance coverage amount, and EMICO retains losses in excess of the respective reinsurance coverage amount. Traditional reinsurance providers collateralize a portion of their coverage by holding funds in reinsurance trust accounts, and the VIEs fully collateralize their coverage by issuing mortgage insurance-linked notes to eligible capital market investors in unregistered private offerings. The notes are non-recourse to EMICO, and to Genworth Financial and its affiliates. EMICO has rights to terminate the insurance-linked notes or reinsurance agreements upon the occurrence of certain events.

In 2025, EMICO executed three excess of loss reinsurance transactions that provide approximately $225 million of reinsurance coverage on a portion of new insurance written for the 2025 book year and approximately $260 million and $170 million of reinsurance coverage on a portion of expected new insurance written for the 2026 and 2027 book years, respectively.

157

Table of Contents

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

In 2024, EMICO executed two excess of loss reinsurance transactions with a panel of reinsurers that provide up to $270 million of reinsurance coverage on a portion of new insurance written for the 2024 book year and approximately $90 million of reinsurance coverage on a portion of mortgage insurance written from July 2023 to December 2023.

EMICO also engages in quota share reinsurance agreements with a panel of third-party reinsurers. Under the agreements, EMICO cedes a percentage of premiums earned, claims and claims expenses on eligible policies. The agreements also include a specific ceding commission and a profit commission that is determined based on ceded claims. EMICO has rights to terminate the reinsurance agreements upon the occurrence of certain events.

In 2025, EMICO entered into a quota share reinsurance agreement with a panel of reinsurers under which it will cede 33.75% of a portion of its expected new insurance written for the 2027 book year. In 2024, EMICO entered into quota share reinsurance agreements under which it ceded 21.225% and 27.15% of a portion of new insurance written for its 2024 and 2025 book years, respectively, and will cede, subject to certain conditions, 27.00% of a portion of expected new insurance written for its 2026 book year.

In connection with its reinsurance activities, Enact Holdings maintained assets in trust of $336 million and $142 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for the benefit of its contractual counterparties.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Reinsurance Recoverables

Our policy for evaluating and measuring the allowance for credit losses related to reinsurance recoverables utilizes the reinsurer’s credit rating, updated quarterly, to assess the credit quality of reinsurance recoverables. The following tables set forth A.M. Best Company, Inc.’s credit ratings related to our reinsurance recoverables at the locked-in discount rate, gross of the allowance for credit losses, as of December 31:

Total reinsurance recoverable	$	14,249	$	2,676	$	16,925

_______________________

(1)Primarily relates to amounts associated with UFLIC, which is not rated. However, UFLIC has trust accounts and a guarantee from its parent, as discussed above, and is sufficiently collateralized and fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Reinsurance recoverables are considered past due when contractual payments have not been received from the reinsurer by the required payment date. Claims submitted for payment are generally due in less than one year. We had no reinsurance recoverables past due as of December 31, 2025 and less than $1 million past due as of December 31, 2024.

Prior to 2023, we had amounts past due on a reinsurance recoverable associated with Scottish Re US Inc. (“Scottish Re”), a reinsurance company domiciled in Delaware that was ordered into receivership for the purposes of rehabilitation in 2019. In 2023, the receiver concluded that Scottish Re should be liquidated based upon adverse changes in its financial condition subsequent to the filing of the proposed and subsequently amended plan of rehabilitation. Scottish Re’s board of directors consented to the liquidation order, which was made final by the court shortly thereafter. In addition, the court’s

159

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

liquidation order mandated all reinsurance agreements in-force with Scottish Re be terminated (or expire) by no later than September 30, 2023. In 2023, we determined that the reinsurance recoverable was uncollectible. As a result, we recorded an additional credit loss of $33 million and wrote off the entire reinsurance recoverable of $69 million against the allowance for credit losses, which included a previously established allowance of $36 million. We also recaptured all our life insurance policies from Scottish Re in 2023, which did not have a significant impact on our earnings for the year ended December 31, 2023, as the credit loss recognized during 2023 was offset by the derecognition of ceded premiums payable of approximately $33 million where we had the right of offset for the amounts owed to us by Scottish Re.

Effective December 31, 2023, we executed treaties with a third party to cede, on a yearly renewable term basis, certain term and universal life insurance products recaptured from Scottish Re, as well as some smaller blocks. This transaction resulted in a gain of $34 million that was deferred as cost of reinsurance and recorded as part of the reinsurance recoverable balance as of December 31, 2023; therefore, there was no impact to net income (loss).

Long-term care insurance

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we completed our annual review of cash flow assumptions including benefit utilization, expected claim incidence, terminations and benefit reductions related to in-force rate actions, among other assumptions. The impact of changes in cash flow assumptions in 2025 resulted in an increase of $286 million in the liability for future policy benefits primarily driven by higher expected benefit utilization reflecting near-term experience related to cost of care inflation and unfavorable updates to our healthy life assumptions to better align with recent mortality and incidence trends. This was partially offset by favorable assumption updates reflecting in-force rate action approval experience and benefit reductions as well as favorable claim termination assumption updates. Our healthy life and claim termination assumption updates incorporated trends following the coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”). The impact of actual variances from expected experience in 2025 resulted in an increase of $368 million in the liability for future policy benefits. This increase was primarily due to higher claims and lower terminations, partially offset by a $26 million gain related to a third-party recapture of a block of long-term care insurance policies. See note 22 for additional information on the third-party reinsurance recapture. The unfavorable impacts of cash flow assumption updates and actual variances from expected experience were partially offset in net income (loss) as a portion of the updates and lower termination experience was related to fully reinsured blocks of business.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, we completed our annual review of cash flow assumptions including benefit utilization, incidence, mortality and in-force rate actions, among others. The impact of changes in cash flow assumptions in 2024 resulted in an increase of $146 million in the liability for future policy benefits primarily related to unfavorable updates to healthy life and near-term benefit utilization assumptions to better align with recent experience, including cost of care inflation. Although we did not make significant changes to our multi-year in-force rate action plan, the increase to the liability for future policy benefits was partially offset by favorable assumption updates for future in-force rate action approvals given our plans for rate increase filings and our recent experience regarding approvals and regulatory support. The increase to the liability for future policy benefits was also partially offset by favorable updates to our short-term incidence assumptions for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims, reducing sufficiency held through a period of heightened uncertainty around incidence during and immediately following COVID-19. The unfavorable impact of changes in cash flow assumptions was partially offset in net income (loss) as a portion of the updates was related to fully reinsured blocks of business. The impact of actual variances from expected experience in 2024 resulted in an increase of $280 million in the liability for future policy benefits primarily due to lower terminations and higher claims.

Life insurance

There were no significant cash flow assumption changes in the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024. The impact of actual variances from expected experience resulted in increases of $32 million and $19 million in the liability for future policy benefits during 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily due to unfavorable mortality experience.

Fixed annuities

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we completed our annual review of cash flow assumptions and decreased our liability for future policy benefits by $66 million primarily as a result of favorable updates to our mortality assumptions. These favorable impacts were partially offset in net income (loss) as a portion of the updates was related to reinsured blocks of business.

There were no significant cash flow assumption changes in the fourth quarter of 2024. The impact of actual variances from expected experience in 2024 resulted in a decrease of $39 million in the liability for future policy benefits primarily due to favorable mortality.

During 2025, we recorded a charge of $6 million to net income (loss) for our life insurance products due to expected benefits exceeding expected gross premiums, resulting in net premium ratios capped at 100% for certain cohorts primarily due to higher claim severity.

(3)Represents additional liabilities related to death or other insurance benefits that are recorded within policyholder account balances and are considered long-duration insurance contracts. See note 10 for additional information.

The contracts underlying the minimum guarantees, such as GMWBs and guaranteed annuitization benefits, are considered “in the money” if the present value of the contractholder’s benefits is greater than the account value, or commonly referred to as the net amount at risk. For GMWBs and guaranteed annuitization benefits, the only way the contractholder can monetize the excess of the benefits over the account value of the contract is through lifetime withdrawals or lifetime income payments after annuitization. For those guarantees of benefits that are payable in the event of death, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the current GMDB in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date.

(1)Excludes universal life insurance and investment contracts of $4,495 million that have an equity market component to their crediting strategy.

Certain of our legacy insurance subsidiaries are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system in their respective regions. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we held $31 million and $34 million, respectively, of FHLB common stock related to those memberships, which was included in equity securities. The FHLBs have been granted a lien on certain of our invested assets to collateralize our obligations; however, we maintain the ability to substitute these pledged assets for other qualified collateral, and may use, commingle, encumber or dispose of any portion of the collateral as long as there is no event of default and the remaining qualified collateral is sufficient to satisfy the collateral maintenance level. Upon any event of default by us, the FHLB’s recovery on the collateral is limited to the amount of our funding agreement liabilities to the FHLB. These funding agreements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were collateralized by fixed maturity securities with a fair value of $336 million and $360 million, respectively. We had no funding agreements outstanding with the FHLBs as of December 31, 2025 and $50 million as of December 31, 2024, which was included in policyholder account balances.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, as part of our annual review of assumptions, we decreased our additional insurance liabilities primarily related to favorable interest rate assumptions given the recent rate environment. The increase in our additional insurance liabilities from the effect of actual variances from expected experience during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by unfavorable mortality.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, as part of our annual review of assumptions, we increased our additional insurance liabilities primarily related to an unfavorable update to mortality assumptions for universal life insurance contracts originating from term life insurance conversions and an unfavorable update to interest rate assumptions given the recent rate environment. The decrease in our additional insurance liabilities from the effect of actual variances from expected experience during the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a model refinement related to certain universal life insurance products with secondary guarantees.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, equity market performance was favorable, resulting in a decrease in the net MRB liability of our variable annuity products. This was partially offset by a decrease in risk-free interest rates, which increased the net MRB liability of our fixed indexed and variable annuity products.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, risk-free interest rates increased and equity markets were favorable, resulting in a decrease in the net MRB liability of our fixed indexed and variable annuity products. This was partially offset by unfavorable updates to our lapse assumptions.

The liability for policy and contract claims represents our current best estimate; however, there may be future adjustments to this estimate and related assumptions. Such adjustments, reflecting any variety of new and adverse trends, could be significant and result in increases in reserves by an amount that could be material to our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Given the extended period of time that may exist between the reporting of a delinquency and the claim payment in our Enact segment, and changes in economic conditions and the real estate market, significant uncertainty and variability exist on amounts actually paid.

The favorable development related to insured events of prior years for the year ended December 31, 2025 was largely driven by strong cure performance and loss mitigation efforts in our Enact segment. Our Enact segment recorded $200 million of net favorable reserve adjustments in 2025, the majority of which were related to prior year delinquencies. A portion of the releases also related to lower expected claim rates on current year delinquencies reflecting sustained favorable cure performance and current market expectations.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, our Enact segment recorded reserve releases of $252 million primarily related to insured events of prior years, largely driven by favorable cure performance and loss mitigation activities. As part of these reserve releases, Enact decreased its claim rate assumptions primarily as a result of sustained favorable cure performance and lessening uncertainty in the economic environment, impacting reserves for insured events of both current and prior years.

The favorable development related to insured events of prior years for the year ended December 31, 2023 was predominantly associated with $241 million of reserve releases in our Enact segment primarily driven by favorable cure performance, including on delinquencies related to COVID-19. In addition, cure performance on delinquencies from 2022 had not been negatively impacted by uncertainty in the economic environment to the extent initially expected.

(14) Employee Benefit Plans

(a)Pension and Retiree Health and Life Insurance Benefit Plans

Essentially all of our employees are enrolled in a qualified defined contribution pension plan. The plan is 100% funded by Genworth. We make annual contributions to each employee’s pension plan account based on the employee’s age, service and eligible pay. Employees are vested in the plan after three years of service. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a liability related to these benefits of $9 million and $8 million, respectively.

In addition, certain employees also participate in non-qualified defined contribution plans and in qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans. The plan assets and pension liabilities, including the projected and accumulated benefit obligations of these plans, were not material to our consolidated financial statements individually or in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a liability related to these plans of $52 million and $51

million, respectively, which we accrued in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. In 2025 and 2024, we recognized a decrease of $1 million and an increase of $2 million, respectively, in OCI.

We provide retiree health benefits to domestic employees hired prior to January 1, 2005 who meet certain service requirements. Under this plan, retirees over 65 years of age receive a subsidy towards the purchase of a Medigap policy, and retirees under 65 years of age receive medical benefits similar to our employees’ medical benefits. In December 2009, we announced that eligibility for retiree medical benefits would be limited to employees who were within 10 years of retirement eligibility as of January 1, 2010. We also provide retiree life and long-term care insurance benefits. The plans are funded as claims are incurred. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation associated with these benefits was $52 million and $51 million, respectively, which we accrued in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. In 2024, we recognized an increase of $2 million in OCI.

Our cost associated with our pension and retiree health and life insurance benefit plans was $16 million, $15 million and $12 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(b)Savings Plans

Our domestic employees participate in qualified and non-qualified defined contribution savings plans that allow employees to contribute a portion of their pay to the plan on a pre-tax basis. We make matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 4% of pay deferred by an employee and 50% of the next 2% of pay deferred by an employee so that our matching contribution does not exceed 5% of an employee’s pay. Employees do not vest immediately in Genworth matching contributions but fully vest in the matching contributions after two complete years of service. One option available to employees in the defined contribution savings plan is the ClearCourse® variable annuity option offered by certain of our legacy insurance subsidiaries. The amount of deposits recorded by our legacy insurance subsidiaries in 2025 and 2024 in relation to this plan option was less than $1 million for each year.

Our cost associated with these plans was $13 million, $11 million and $13 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(c)Health and Welfare Benefits for Active Employees

We provide health and welfare benefits to our employees, including health, life, disability, dental and long-term care insurance, among others. Our long-term care insurance is provided through our group long-term care insurance products. The premiums recorded by this business related to these benefits were insignificant during 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Genworth Holdings

Long-Term Senior Notes

As of December 31, 2025, Genworth Holdings had outstanding fixed rate senior notes with an aggregate principal balance of $244 million, with an interest rate of 6.50% due in June 2034 (“2034 Notes”). The 2034 Notes are Genworth Holdings’ direct, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all its existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. Genworth Financial provides a full and unconditional guarantee to the trustee and holders of Genworth Holdings’ 2034 Notes, on an unsecured unsubordinated basis, of the full and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, and all other amounts payable under, the outstanding 2034 Notes and their respective indentures. Genworth Holdings has the option to redeem all or a portion of its 2034 Notes at any time with notice to the noteholders at a price equal to the greater of 100% of principal or the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest discounted at the then-current treasury rate plus an applicable spread.

Long-Term Junior Subordinated Notes

As of December 31, 2025, Genworth Holdings had outstanding floating rate junior notes having an aggregate principal amount of $539 million and a discount of $1 million, with interest payable quarterly until the notes mature in November 2066 (“2066 Notes”). The 2066 Notes have an annual interest rate equal to the three-month Term SOFR Reference Rate, plus a tenor spread adjustment of 0.26161%, plus an additional spread of 2.0025%. Subject to certain conditions, Genworth Holdings has the right, on one or more occasions, to defer the payment of interest on the 2066 Notes during any period of up to 10 years without giving rise to an event of default and without permitting acceleration under the terms of the 2066 Notes. Genworth Holdings will not be required to settle deferred interest payments until it has deferred interest for five years or made a payment of current interest. In the event of our bankruptcy, holders would have a limited claim for deferred interest.

In connection with the issuance of the 2066 Notes, we entered into a Replacement Capital Covenant, whereby we agreed, for the benefit of holders of Genworth Holdings’ 2034 Notes, that Genworth Holdings would not repay, redeem or repurchase all or any part of the 2066 Notes on or before November 15, 2046, unless such repayment, redemption or repurchase was made from the proceeds of the issuance of certain replacement capital securities and pursuant to the other terms and conditions set forth in the Replacement Capital Covenant. On October 25, 2023, Genworth Holdings completed a consent solicitation from bondholders representing a majority in principal amount of its 2034 Notes to amend the Replacement Capital Covenant. The amendment permits Genworth Holdings to repay, redeem or repurchase $2,000

principal amount of its 2066 Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of its 2034 Notes repaid, redeemed or repurchased. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Genworth Holdings repurchased $7 million of its 2066 Notes for a pre-tax gain of $1 million.

During the 180-day period prior to November 15, 2036, the “scheduled redemption date,” Genworth Holdings must use its commercially reasonable efforts, subject to certain conditions, to raise sufficient net proceeds from the sale of certain qualifying capital securities to redeem the 2066 Notes on the scheduled redemption date. If Genworth Holdings has not raised sufficient net proceeds to repay the 2066 Notes in full on the scheduled redemption date, it shall repay the 2066 Notes in part on such date and on each quarterly interest payment date thereafter to the extent that it has received net proceeds from the sale of such qualifying capital securities, until the 2066 Notes have been redeemed in full. Genworth Holdings may otherwise redeem the 2066 Notes at any time in whole or in part at their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, subject to compliance with the amended Replacement Capital Covenant.

The 2066 Notes will be subordinated to all existing and future senior, subordinated and junior subordinated debt of Genworth Holdings, except for any future debt that by its terms is not superior in right of payment, and will be effectively subordinated to all liabilities of our subsidiaries. Genworth Financial provides a full and unconditional guarantee to the trustee and holders of the 2066 Notes, on an unsecured subordinated basis, of the full and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, and all other amounts payable under, the outstanding 2066 Notes and their respective indentures.

Enact Holdings

As of December 31, 2025, Enact Holdings had $750 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding unsecured senior notes due in May 2029 (“2029 Notes”). The 2029 Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6.25%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 28 and November 28 of each year. Enact Holdings has the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2029 Notes at any time prior to April 28, 2029 with notice to the noteholders at a price equal to the greater of the present value of the remaining scheduled principal and interest payments discounted at the then-current treasury rate plus 30 basis points or 100% of the principal, plus in either case, accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after April 28, 2029, Enact Holdings may redeem all or a portion of its 2029 Notes with notice to the noteholders at a price equal to 100% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 2029 Notes contain customary events of default, which subject to certain notice and cure conditions, can result in the acceleration of the principal and accrued interest on the outstanding notes if Enact Holdings breaches the terms of the indenture.

(b) Revolving Credit Facility

Enact Holdings

On September 30, 2025, Enact Holdings entered into a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (“2025 Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders in the initial aggregate principal amount of $435 million to replace its then outstanding $200 million revolving credit facility dated June 30, 2022. The 2025 Credit Facility includes the ability for Enact Holdings to increase the commitments on an uncommitted basis, by an additional aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $218 million. Any borrowings under the 2025 Credit Facility will accrue interest at a floating rate tied to a standard short-term borrowing index selected at Enact Holdings’ option, plus an applicable margin, pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement. The applicable margin is based on Enact Holdings’ ratings established by certain debt rating agencies for its senior unsecured debt. The 2025 Credit Facility includes customary representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions. As of December 31, 2025, Enact Holdings was in compliance with all covenants and the 2025 Credit Facility remained undrawn.

An aggregate principal amount of $750 million of our long-term borrowings matures in 2029, with the remaining combined $783 million aggregate principal amount maturing thereafter.

The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was below the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% primarily driven by a valuation allowance release in 2025, partially offset by tax expense on certain forward starting swap gains that are tax effected at the previously enacted federal income tax rate of 35% as they are amortized into net investment income. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was above the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% largely due to tax expense on certain forward starting swap gains that are tax effected at the previously enacted federal income tax rate of 35% as they are amortized into net investment income.

The gross amount of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, which include U.S. federal and Mexico, was $25 million as of December 31, 2025. Capital loss carryforwards amounted to $402 million as of December 31, 2025, and, if unused, will expire in 2026.

Our valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $545 million and $639 million, respectively. In 2025, we released $100 million of the domestic federal valuation allowance related to capital deferred tax assets. The release was a result of the change in unrealized gains (losses) on our fixed maturity securities due to decreasing interest rates and an increase in unrealized gains on our limited partnerships due to current market conditions, and a corresponding increase in unrealized capital gains expected to be available in the future to offset our capital loss carryforwards and other capital deferred tax assets. Of the $100 million released, $53 million was recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), $41 million was recognized in income (loss) from continuing operations, and $6 million was recognized in income (loss) from discontinued operations resulting in an ending valuation allowance of $200 million related to domestic federal deferred tax assets of a capital character as of December 31, 2025. The remainder of the valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was related to state deferred tax assets and foreign NOLs. The state deferred tax assets related primarily to the non-insurance NOL carryforwards.

Our ability to realize our net deferred tax asset of $1,800 million, which includes deferred tax assets related to capital loss and NOL carryforwards, is primarily dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income and capital gains in future years. We have net deferred tax assets of $923 million that have or will produce capital losses. As part of the assessment of the amount of the valuation allowance, management has asserted that it has the ability and intent to execute tax planning strategies including holding certain investment assets with unrealized losses to recovery or maturity or realizing gains on certain investment assets with unrealized gains to the extent necessary to ensure realization of the capital related deferred tax assets, net of the $200 million valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025.

We have net deferred tax assets of $877 million that will produce ordinary income (loss) in future years. Management has concluded that there is sufficient positive evidence to support the expected realization of these deferred tax assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This positive evidence includes the fact that: (i) we are currently in a cumulative three-year income position, and (ii) our U.S. operating forecasts are profitable, which include ongoing income from our mortgage insurance business and in-force premium rate increases and associated benefit reductions already obtained in our long-term care insurance business in our Closed Block segment.

After consideration of all available evidence, we have concluded that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets, with the exception of capital loss carryforwards, other capital deferred tax assets, state deferred tax assets and certain foreign NOLs for which a valuation allowance has been established, will be realized. If our actual results do not validate the current projections of pre-tax income, we may be required to record an additional valuation allowance that could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in future periods.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows:

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $21 million as of December 31, 2025, which if recognized would affect the effective tax rate on continuing operations by $21 million. These unrecognized tax benefits include the impact of foreign currency translation from our international operations.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of income tax expense. We recorded $2 million, $2 million and $— of expense in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Our companies have elected to file a single U.S. consolidated income tax return (the “life/non-life consolidated return”). All companies domesticated in the United States and our Bermuda subsidiary, a company treated as a U.S. domestic company for U.S. tax purposes, are included in the life/non-life consolidated return as allowed by the tax law and regulations, with the exception of CareScout Insurance Company, which became a life insurance company and is required to file separately for a period of five years effective 2025. We have a tax sharing agreement in place and all intercompany balances related to this agreement are settled at least annually. We are not currently subject to any significant examinations by federal or state income tax authorities. Generally, we are no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations for years prior to 2022.

(17) Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Cash paid for interest was $101 million, $124 million and $110 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See note 16 for cash paid for taxes in 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Plan (the “2012 Plan”) and the 2018 Genworth Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). In May 2021, the 2021 Genworth Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by stockholders. Under the 2021 Plan, we were authorized to grant 25 million equity awards, plus a number of additional shares not to exceed 20 million underlying awards outstanding under the prior Plans. In May 2025, the 2025 Genworth Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”) was approved by stockholders. Under the 2025 Plan, we are authorized to grant 10.5 million equity awards, plus the number of shares not to exceed 12.8 million remaining available for grant under the 2021 Plan, plus a number of additional shares not to exceed 19 million underlying awards outstanding under the prior Plans. The 2004 Plan together with the 2012, 2018, 2021 and 2025 Plans are referred to collectively as the “Omnibus Incentive Plans.”

We recorded long-term incentive compensation expense under the Omnibus Incentive Plans of $39 million, $32 million and $34 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, which included stock-based compensation expense of $39 million, $31 million and $29 million, respectively. Long-term incentive compensation expense was recognized evenly on a straight-line attribution method over the awards’ respective vesting period.

During 2025, 2024 and 2023, we issued RSUs with average restriction periods of three years and a weighted-average grant date fair value of $6.80, $6.15 and $6.05, respectively, measured at the market price of a share of our Common Stock on the grant date.

During 2025, 2024 and 2023, we granted PSUs with a fair value of $7.22, $6.48 and $6.76, respectively, calculated as described in further detail below as of the approval date by Genworth Financial’s Board of Directors. PSUs may be earned over a three-year period based upon the achievement of certain performance goals.

The PSUs granted in 2025 have a three-year measurement period starting on January 1, 2025 going through December 31, 2027. The performance measures include Genworth’s total shareholder return compared to certain of its peer companies established as of the grant date, our Enact segment’s book value per share growth and the net present value of rate actions. Rate actions are defined as future expected premium increases and benefit reductions on our long-term care insurance products in our Closed Block segment as a result of rate increases approved on individual and group long-term care insurance policies and reserve releases less cash payments to policyholders related to legal settlements or other in-force management actions, net of reinsurance.

The PSUs granted in 2024 have a three-year measurement period starting on January 1, 2024 going through December 31, 2026. The performance measures include the net present value of rate actions, Genworth’s total shareholder return compared to certain of its peer companies established as of the grant date and the adjusted operating income (loss) of our Enact segment. See note 21 for our definition of adjusted operating income (loss).

The PSUs granted in 2023 have a three-year measurement period starting on January 1, 2023 going through December 31, 2025. The performance measures include the consolidated statutory pre-tax income of our legacy insurance subsidiaries, the adjusted operating income (loss) of our Enact segment and Genworth’s total shareholder return compared to certain of its peer companies established as of the grant date.

For the PSUs granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023, the grant-date fair value for the total relative shareholder return performance measure was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation, and the grant-date fair value for all other performance measures was based on market price of a share of our Common Stock as of the approval date. The grant-date fair value and the valuation assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation were as follows:

(19) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We have fixed maturity securities, equity securities, limited partnerships, derivatives, short-term investments, embedded derivatives, separate account assets, MRBs and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. Below is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to determine fair value by class of instrument.

Table of Contents

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

Fixed maturity securities, equity securities and short-term investments

The fair value of fixed maturity securities, equity securities and short-term investments is estimated primarily based on information derived from third-party pricing services (“pricing services”), broker quotes and/or internal models, which may use a market approach, income approach or a combination of the market and income approach depending on the type of instrument and availability of information. In general, a market approach is utilized if there is readily available and relevant market activity for an individual security. In certain cases where market information is not available for a specific security but is available for similar securities, that security is valued using market information for similar securities, which is also a market approach. When market information is not available for a specific security (or similar securities) or is available but such information is less relevant or reliable, an income approach or a combination of a market and income approach is utilized. For securities with optionality, such as call or prepayment features (including mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities), an income approach may be used. These valuation techniques may change from period to period, based on the relevance and availability of market data.

Further, while we consider the valuations provided by pricing services and broker quotes to be of high quality, management determines the fair value of our investment securities after considering all relevant and available information.

In general, we first obtain valuations from pricing services. If prices are unavailable, we obtain broker quotes. For all securities, excluding certain private fixed maturity securities, if neither a pricing service nor broker quotes valuation is available, we determine fair value using internal models. For certain private fixed maturity securities where we do not obtain valuations from pricing services, we utilize an internal model to determine fair value since transactions for similar securities are not readily observable and these securities are not typically valued by pricing services.

Given our understanding of the pricing methodologies and procedures of pricing services, the securities valued by pricing services are typically classified as Level 2 unless we determine the valuation process for a security or group of securities utilizes significant unobservable inputs, which would result in the valuation being classified as Level 3. Broker quotes may be utilized when pricing services data is not available and are typically classified as Level 3 due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

For certain private fixed maturity securities, we utilize an income approach where we obtain public bond spreads and utilize those in an internal model to determine fair value. Other inputs to the model include rating and weighted-average life, as well as sector which is used to assign the spread. We then add an additional premium, which represents an unobservable input, to the public bond spread to adjust for the liquidity and other features of our private placements. We utilize the estimated market yield to discount the expected cash flows of the security to determine fair value. We utilize price caps for securities where the estimated market yield results in a valuation that may exceed the amount that would be received in a market transaction. When a security does not have an external rating, we assign the security an internal rating to determine the appropriate public bond spread that should be utilized in the valuation. While we generally consider the public bond spreads by sector and maturity to be observable inputs, we evaluate the similarities of our private placements with the public bonds, price caps, liquidity premiums applied, and whether external ratings are available for our private placements to determine whether the spreads utilized would be considered observable inputs, leading to a classification of Level 2. We classify private securities without an external rating or public bond spread as Level 3. In general, a significant increase (decrease) in credit spreads would have resulted in a significant decrease (increase) in the fair value for our fixed maturity securities as of December 31, 2025.

For remaining securities priced using internal models, we determine fair value using an income approach. We maximize the use of observable inputs but typically utilize significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. Accordingly, the valuations are typically classified as Level 3.

Our assessment of whether or not there were significant unobservable inputs related to fixed maturity securities was based on our observations obtained through the course of managing our investment portfolio, including interaction with other market participants, observations related to the availability and consistency of pricing and/or rating, and understanding of general market activity such as new issuance and the level of secondary market trading for a class of securities. Additionally, we considered data obtained from pricing services to determine whether our estimated values incorporate significant unobservable inputs that would result in the valuation being classified as Level 3.

A summary of the inputs used for our financial instruments carried at fair value based on the level in which instruments are classified is included below. We have combined certain classes of instruments together as the nature of the inputs is similar.

Level 1 measurements

Equity securities. The primary inputs to the valuation of exchange-traded equity securities include quoted prices for the identical instrument.

Separate account assets. The fair value of separate account assets is based on the quoted prices of the underlying fund investments and, therefore, represents Level 1 pricing.

Level 2 measurements

Fixed maturity securities

•Third-party pricing services: In estimating the fair value of fixed maturity securities, 88% of our portfolio was priced using pricing services as of December 31, 2025. These pricing services utilize industry-standard valuation techniques that include market-based approaches, income-based approaches, a combination of market-based and income-based approaches or other proprietary, internally generated models as part of the valuation processes. These third-party pricing vendors maximize the use of publicly available data inputs to generate valuations for each asset class. Priority and type of inputs used may change frequently as certain inputs may be more direct drivers of valuation at the time of pricing. Examples of significant inputs incorporated by pricing services may include sector and issuer spreads, seasoning, capital structure, security optionality, collateral data, prepayment assumptions, default assumptions, delinquencies, debt covenants, benchmark yields, trade data, dealer quotes, credit ratings, maturity and weighted-average life. We conduct regular meetings with our pricing services for the purpose of understanding the methodologies, techniques and inputs used by the third-party pricing providers.

securities based on the external ratings of the instrument and related industry sector of the issuer. Additionally, we may apply certain price caps and liquidity premiums in the valuation of private fixed maturity securities. Price caps and liquidity premiums are established using inputs from market participants.

Equity securities. The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical assets, or similar assets in markets that are not active.

Short-term investments. The fair value of short-term investments classified as Level 2 is determined after considering prices obtained by pricing services.

Level 3 measurements

Fixed maturity securities

•Third-party pricing services: A portion of our non-U.S. government, U.S. corporate, non-U.S. corporate and other asset-backed securities are valued using pricing services. These pricing services utilize income-based approaches and internally generated models as part of the valuation processes. Pricing services utilized for valuation are reviewed annually. The fair value of our Level 3 fixed maturity securities priced by pricing services was $241 million as of December 31, 2025.

•Broker quotes: A portion of our non-U.S. government, U.S. corporate, non-U.S. corporate, residential mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are valued using broker quotes. Broker quotes are obtained from third-party providers that have current market knowledge to provide a reasonable price for securities not routinely priced by pricing services. Brokers utilized for valuation of assets are reviewed annually. The fair value of our Level 3 fixed maturity securities priced by broker quotes was $184 million as of December 31, 2025.

•Internal models: A portion of our U.S. corporate, non-U.S. corporate, residential mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are valued using internal models. The primary inputs to the valuation of the bond population include quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, duration, call provisions, issuer rating, benchmark yields and credit spreads. Certain private fixed maturity securities are valued using an internal model using market observable inputs such as the interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar securities, which can include significant unobservable inputs. Additionally, we may apply certain price caps and liquidity premiums in the valuation of private fixed maturity securities. Price caps are established using inputs from market participants. For structured securities, the primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, weighted-average coupon, weighted-average maturity, issuer rating, structure of the security, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, collateral type, current and forecasted loss severity, average delinquency rates, vintage of the loans, geographic region, debt service coverage ratios, payment priority with the tranche, benchmark yields and credit spreads.

We utilize the NAV from the underlying fund statements as a practical expedient for fair value.

Derivatives

We consider counterparty collateral arrangements and rights of set-off when evaluating our net credit risk exposure to our derivative counterparties. Accordingly, we are permitted to include consideration of these arrangements when determining whether any incremental adjustment should be made for both the counterparty’s and our non-performance risk in measuring fair value for our derivative instruments. As a result of these counterparty arrangements, we determined that any adjustment for credit risk would not be material, and we have not recorded any incremental adjustment for our non-performance risk or the non-performance risk of the derivative counterparties for our derivative assets or liabilities.

Interest rate swaps. The valuation of interest rate swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary input into the valuation represents the forward interest rate swap curve, which is generally considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2. For certain interest rate swaps, the inputs into the valuation also include the total returns of certain bonds that would primarily be considered an observable input and result in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Foreign currency swaps. The valuation of foreign currency swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve and foreign currency exchange rates, both of which are considered observable inputs, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Equity index options. We have equity index options associated with various equity indices. The valuation of equity index options is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent forward interest rates, equity index volatility, equity index and time value component associated with the optionality in the derivative. The equity index volatility surface is determined based on market information that is not readily observable and is developed based upon inputs received from several third-party sources. Accordingly, these options are classified as Level 3. As of December 31, 2025, a significant increase (decrease) in the equity index volatility discussed above would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Financial futures. The fair value of financial futures is based on the closing exchange prices. Accordingly, these financial futures are classified as Level 1. The period end valuation is zero as a result of settling the margins on these contracts on a daily basis.

Forward bond purchase commitments. The valuation of forward bond purchase commitments is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent current bond prices and interest rates, as well as an estimate of the cost of counterparty financing to acquire and carry the bond during the forward period. The estimated cost of counterparty financing is not readily observable and is developed based upon an assumed spread; accordingly, these derivatives are classified as Level 3.

Foreign currency forward contracts. The valuation of foreign currency forward contracts is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward foreign currency exchange rates, which are generally considered observable inputs and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Fixed indexed annuity and indexed universal life embedded derivatives. We have fixed indexed annuity and indexed universal life insurance products where interest is credited to the policyholder’s account balance based on equity index changes. This feature is required to be bifurcated as an embedded derivative and recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach where the present value of the excess cash flows above the guaranteed cash flows is used to determine the value attributed to the equity index feature. The inputs used in determining the fair value include policyholder behavior (lapses and withdrawals), near-term equity index volatility, expected future interest credited, forward interest rates and an adjustment to the discount rate to incorporate non-performance risk and risk margins. As a result of our assumptions for expected future interest credited being considered significant unobservable inputs, we classify these

instruments as Level 3. As expected future interest credited decreases, the value of our embedded derivative liability will decrease. As of December 31, 2025, a significant change in the unobservable inputs discussed above would have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Market risk benefits

MRBs are contracts or contract features that provide protection to the contractholder while exposing us to other-than-nominal capital market risk. MRBs include certain contract features on fixed and variable annuity products that provide minimum guarantees, in addition to the policyholder account balance, such as GMDBs, GMWBs and GPAFs. MRBs are measured at fair value using an income-based valuation model based on current net amounts at risk, market data, experience and other factors. See note 2 for a discussion of our policy for recording changes in fair value of MRBs.

MRB assets and liabilities for minimum guarantees are valued and presented separately from the related separate account and policyholder account balances.

Fixed indexed annuities

The valuation of fixed indexed annuities MRBs, which includes GMWB features, is based on an income approach that incorporates inputs such as policyholder behavior (GMWB utilization, lapses and mortality), equity index volatility, expected future interest credited, forward interest rates and an adjustment to the discount rate to incorporate non-performance risk and risk margins. Our discount rate used to determine fair value of our fixed indexed annuities MRBs includes market credit spreads above U.S. Treasury rates to reflect an adjustment for the non-performance risk of the fixed indexed annuities MRBs. We determine fair value using an internal model based on the various inputs noted above. As a result of our assumptions for GMWB utilization, expected future interest credited and non-performance risk being considered significant unobservable inputs, we classify these instruments as Level 3. As expected future interest credited decreases or GMWB utilization increases, the value of our fixed indexed annuities MRB liability will increase. Any increase in non-performance risk would increase the discount rate and would decrease the fair value of the liability. As of December 31, 2025, a significant change in the unobservable inputs discussed above would have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Refer to note 11 for additional details related to the changes in the fair value measurement of fixed indexed annuities MRBs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Variable annuities

The valuation of our variable annuities MRBs, which includes GMWB, GMDB and GPAF features, is based on an income approach that incorporates inputs such as policyholder behavior (GMWB utilization, lapses and mortality), equity index volatility, interest rates, equity index and fund correlation and an adjustment to the discount rate to incorporate non-performance risk and risk margins. Our discount rate used to determine fair value of our variable annuities MRBs includes market credit spreads above U.S. Treasury rates to reflect an adjustment for the non-performance risk of the variable annuities MRBs. We determine fair value using an internal model based on the various inputs noted above. We classify the variable annuities MRBs valuation as Level 3 based on having significant unobservable inputs, with policyholder behavior (GMWB utilization and lapses), equity index volatility and non-performance risk being considered the more significant unobservable inputs. As equity index volatility increases, the fair value of the variable annuities MRBs will increase. An increase in our lapse assumption would decrease the fair value of the variable annuities MRBs, whereas an increase in our GMWB utilization rate would increase the fair value. Any increase in non-performance risk would increase the discount rate and would decrease the fair value of the liability. As of December 31, 2025, a significant change in the unobservable inputs discussed above would have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Refer to note 11 for additional details related to the changes in the fair value measurement of variable annuities MRBs as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements represent the activity that occurred during the period that results in a change of the asset or liability but does not represent changes in fair value for the instruments held at the beginning of the period. Such activity primarily consists of purchases, sales and settlements of fixed maturity and equity securities and purchases, issuances and settlements of derivative instruments.

Issuances for fixed indexed annuity and indexed universal life embedded derivative liabilities represent the amount of the premium received that is attributed to the value of the embedded derivative. Settlements of embedded derivatives are characterized as the change in fair value upon exercising the embedded derivative instrument, effectively representing a settlement of the embedded derivative instrument. We have shown these changes in fair value separately based on the classification of this activity as effectively issuing and settling the embedded derivative instrument with all remaining changes in the fair value of these embedded derivative instruments being shown separately in the category labeled “included in net (income) loss” in the tables presented above.

Assets and Liabilities Not Required to Be Carried at Fair Value

Assets and liabilities that are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value are not included in the following disclosure of fair value. Such items include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, investment securities, MRBs, separate accounts and derivative instruments. Apart from certain of our borrowings and certain marketable securities, few of the instruments are actively traded and their fair values must often be determined using internal models. The fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon available market information and judgments about the financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $29 million and $25 million, respectively, of real estate owned and associated assets included in other invested assets in our consolidated balance sheets acquired through foreclosure in full or partial settlement of commercial mortgage loan obligations. These properties are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs (the carrying value) and are subsequently valued at the lower of the carrying value or current fair value less estimated selling costs. As of December 31, 2024, these properties were recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs, which was less than the carrying value. These amounts represented the fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The fair value of the real estate owned assets is classified as Level 2.

Assets Measured Using Net Asset Value

Limited partnerships include partnership interests accounted for using NAV per share (or its equivalent) or fair value for those interests considered minor and partnership interests accounted for under the equity method of accounting for

those interests exceeding the minor threshold. Our limited partnership interests accounted for using NAV per share (or its equivalent) are generally not redeemable by the investees and generally cannot be sold without approval of the general partner. We receive distributions of income and proceeds from the liquidation of the underlying assets of the investees, which usually takes place in years five to ten of the typical contractual life of ten to 12 years.

(20) Insurance Subsidiary Financial Information and Regulatory Matters

Dividends

Our insurance subsidiaries are subject to oversight by applicable insurance laws and regulations as to the amount of dividends they may pay to their parent in any year, the purpose of which is to protect affected insurance policyholders or contractholders, not stockholders. In general, dividends and distributions are required to be submitted to an insurer’s domiciliary department of insurance for review, and the payment of any dividend or distribution from a source other than unassigned surplus requires prior written regulatory approval. Enact Holdings’ ability to pay dividends is limited in part by such regulatory restrictions on its insurance subsidiaries. Based on estimated statutory results as of December 31, 2025, in accordance with applicable dividend restrictions, Enact Holdings’ U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries could pay dividends from unassigned surplus of approximately $3 million in 2026 without affirmative regulatory approval, although notice of the intent to pay must be provided to the state insurance commissioner 30 days in advance thereof, during which time the commissioner may review the dividend pursuant to statutory standards. Our legacy insurance subsidiaries had negative unassigned surplus of $368 million under statutory accounting as of December 31, 2025 and as a result, cannot pay dividends to us in 2026. In addition, we manage our legacy insurance subsidiaries on a standalone basis and accordingly, do not expect to receive any dividends or other returns of capital from them in the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2025, Genworth Financial’s and Genworth Holdings’ consolidated subsidiaries had restricted net assets of $8.9 billion and $9.3 billion, respectively.

As the majority shareholder, Genworth Holdings received $98 million, $91 million and $174 million, respectively, of dividends in 2025, 2024 and 2023 from Enact Holdings. Future dividends paid by Enact Holdings are subject to quarterly review and approval by its board of directors and Genworth Financial, and will also be dependent on a variety of economic, market and business conditions. None of our life insurance subsidiaries paid dividends in 2025, 2024 or 2023.

U.S. domiciled insurance subsidiaries—statutory financial information

Our U.S. domiciled insurance subsidiaries file financial statements with state insurance regulatory authorities and the NAIC that are prepared on an accounting basis either prescribed or permitted by such authorities. Statutory accounting practices differ from U.S. GAAP in several respects, causing differences in reported net income (loss) and stockholders’ equity.

Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed but that have been specifically allowed by individual state insurance authorities. Our U.S. domiciled insurance subsidiaries have no material permitted accounting practices, except for River Lake Insurance Company VI (“River Lake VI”) and River Lake Insurance Company X (“River Lake X”). The permitted practices of River Lake VI and River Lake X were an essential element of their design and were expressly included in their plans of operation and in the licensing orders issued by their domiciliary state regulators, and without those permitted accounting practices, these entities could be subject to regulatory action. Accordingly, we believe that the permitted accounting practices will remain in effect for so long as we maintain these entities. The material permitted accounting practices were as follows:

•In 2025 and 2024, River Lake VI had a permitted accounting practice from the State of Delaware to carry its excess of loss reinsurance agreements with The Canada Life Assurance Company for its universal and term life insurance business assumed from Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company (“GLAIC”) as an admitted asset.

•In 2025 and 2024, River Lake X had a permitted accounting practice from the State of Vermont to carry its excess of loss reinsurance agreement with Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America for its term life insurance business assumed from GLAIC as an admitted asset.

The impact of these permitted accounting practices of River Lake VI and River Lake X on our combined U.S. domiciled life insurance subsidiaries’ statutory capital and surplus was zero as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. If these permitted accounting practices had not been used, no regulatory event would have been triggered.

For regulatory purposes, our U.S. mortgage insurers are required to establish a special statutory contingency reserve. Annual additions to the statutory contingency reserve must be at least 50% of net earned premiums, as defined by state insurance laws and regulations. These contingency reserves generally are held until the earlier of (i) the time that loss ratios exceed 35% or (ii) 10 years. However, approval by the North Carolina Department of Insurance (“NCDOI”) is required for contingency reserve releases when loss ratios exceed 35%. The statutory contingency reserve for our U.S. mortgage insurers was approximately $4.5 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and is included in the table below containing combined statutory capital and surplus balances.

_______________________

(1)Includes our legacy insurance subsidiaries as well as our start-up insurance subsidiary, CareScout Insurance Company.

The statutory net income from our captive life reinsurance subsidiaries, River Lake VI and River Lake X, relates to the reinsurance of term and universal life insurance statutory reserves assumed from GLAIC. These reserves are, in turn, secured by excess of loss reinsurance treaties with third parties. Additionally, the life insurance subsidiaries’ combined statutory net income (loss) and distributable income are not affected by the statutory net income of the captives, except to the extent dividends are received from the captives. The combined statutory capital and surplus of our life insurance subsidiaries does not include the capital and surplus of our captive life reinsurance subsidiaries of $105 million and $101 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Capital Requirements of U.S. Life Insurers

The NAIC has adopted RBC requirements to evaluate the adequacy of statutory capital and surplus in relation to risks associated with: (i) asset risk; (ii) insurance risk; (iii) interest rate risk; and (iv) business risk. The RBC formula is designated as an early warning tool for the states to identify potentially weakly capitalized companies for purposes of facilitating regulatory action. In the course of operations, we periodically monitor the RBC level of each of our life insurance subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, each of our life insurance subsidiaries exceeded the minimum required RBC levels in their respective domiciliary state. The consolidated RBC ratio on a company action level basis of GLIC and its U.S. domiciled life insurance subsidiaries was approximately 300% and 306% as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, we released $60 million, $85 million and $99 million, respectively, of statutory reserves resulting from updates to our universal and term universal life insurance products with secondary guarantees as part of Actuarial Guideline 38 8D in our Virginia and Delaware licensed life insurance subsidiaries.

As a part of our cash flow testing process for our legacy insurance subsidiaries, we consider incremental benefits from expected future in-force rate actions in our long-term care insurance products that would help mitigate the impact of deteriorating experience. The New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”), which regulates Genworth

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

Life Insurance Company of New York (“GLICNY”), requires specific adequacy testing scenarios that are generally more severe than those deemed acceptable in other states. Moreover, the required testing scenarios by the NYDFS have a disproportionate impact on our long-term care insurance products. In addition, we use New York specific experience for setting assumptions in our long-term care insurance products in GLICNY. While the NYDFS generally does not permit in-force rate increases for long-term care insurance to be used in asset adequacy analysis until such increases have been approved, it has allowed GLICNY to incorporate recently filed in-force rate actions in its asset adequacy analysis prior to approval in the past.

As a result, after discussions with the NYDFS and through the exercise of professional actuarial judgment, GLICNY incorporated in its 2024 asset adequacy analysis assumptions for future in-force rate actions for long-term care insurance products to offset the emerging adverse experience for these products. With these assumption updates, GLICNY’s 2024 asset adequacy analysis produced a negative margin. To address the negative margin, GLICNY recorded an incremental $79 million of additional statutory reserves in 2024. As a result of the 2024 activity, the aggregate amount of statutory reserves established by GLICNY for asset adequacy deficits increased to $871 million ($836 million related to long-term care insurance and $35 million related to variable annuities) as of December 31, 2024. For GLICNY’s 2025 asset adequacy analysis, which included a conditional approval of an in-force rate action but not an assumption for additional future in-force rate actions, the margin was positive. Accordingly, no additional statutory reserves were required to be recorded.

Capital Requirements of U.S. Mortgage Insurers

Mortgage insurers are not subject to the NAIC’s RBC requirements, but certain states and other regulators impose another form of capital requirement on mortgage insurers requiring maintenance of a risk-to-capital ratio not to exceed 25:1. Enact Holdings’ mortgage insurance subsidiaries are domiciled in North Carolina, and fifteen other states maintain similar risk-to-capital requirements. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the risk-to-capital ratio of Enact Holdings’ combined mortgage insurance subsidiaries was approximately 10.1:1 and 10.5:1, respectively, under the current regulatory framework as established under North Carolina law and enforced by the NCDOI, Enact Holdings’ insurance subsidiaries’ domestic insurance regulator. Each of Enact Holdings’ mortgage insurance subsidiaries met its respective capital requirements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Private mortgage insurers must meet the operational and financial requirements under private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements (“PMIERs”) as set forth by the government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”) in order to remain eligible to insure loans that are purchased by the GSEs. Each approved mortgage insurer is required to provide the GSEs with an annual certification and a quarterly report evidencing its compliance with PMIERs.

Enact has met all PMIERs reporting requirements as required by the GSEs. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Enact had estimated available assets of $5,015 million and $5,095 million, respectively, against $3,096 million and $3,043 million, respectively, net required assets under PMIERs. The sufficiency ratio as of December 31, 2025 was 162%, or $1,919 million above the PMIERs requirements, compared to 167%, or $2,052 million above the PMIERs requirements as of December 31, 2024.

Securities on deposit

Certain of our insurance subsidiaries have securities on deposit with various state or foreign government insurance departments in order to comply with relevant insurance regulations. See note 4(d) for additional information related to these deposits. Additionally, under the terms of certain reinsurance agreements that our insurance subsidiaries have with external parties, we pledged assets in either separate portfolios or in trust for the benefit of external reinsurers. These assets support the reserves ceded to those external reinsurers. See note 7 for additional information related to these pledged assets under reinsurance agreements. Certain of our U.S. life insurance subsidiaries are also members of regional FHLBs, and the FHLBs have been granted a lien on certain of our invested assets to collateralize our obligations. See note 9 for additional information related to these pledged assets with the FHLBs.

subsidiary to AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., the guarantee was limited to the payment of valid claims on policies in-force prior to the sale date and those written approximately 90 days subsequent to the date of the sale, and AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. has agreed to provide us with a limited indemnification in the event there is any exposure under the guarantee. As of December 31, 2025, the risk in-force of active policies was approximately $800 million.

(21) Segment Information

(a) Reportable Segment Information

We have the following two reportable segments: Enact, comprised primarily of private mortgage insurance products, and Closed Block, comprised of long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products that were previously sold through our legacy insurance subsidiaries. In addition to our two reportable segments, we also have Corporate and Other, which includes debt financing expenses that are incurred at the Genworth Holdings level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, and eliminations of inter-segment transactions. Corporate and Other also includes the results of other businesses that are not individually reportable, such as CareScout Services, CareScout Insurance and certain international businesses.

We allocate tax to our businesses at the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate of 21%. Each segment is then adjusted to reflect the unique tax attributes of that segment, such as permanent differences between U.S. GAAP and tax law. The difference between the consolidated provision for income taxes and the sum of the provision for income taxes in each segment is reflected in Corporate and Other.

We use the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment income (loss) and assets as our consolidated net income (loss) and assets. Our CODM, who is our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates performance and allocates resources for our reportable segments based on “adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders.” Our CODM evaluates adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders as a key measure to assess performance and support new business initiatives because the measure more accurately reflects overall operating performance, as it minimizes the impact of macroeconomic volatility. Our legacy insurance subsidiaries, which comprise our Closed Block segment, are managed on a standalone basis; therefore, we do not allocate capital to our Closed Block segment.

We define adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), changes in fair value of market risk benefits attributable to interest rates, equity markets and associated hedges, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. A component of our net investment gains (losses) is the result of estimated future credit losses, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to our discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. We exclude net investment gains (losses), changes in fair value of market risk benefits attributable to interest rates, equity markets and associated hedges, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items from adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders because, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating performance.

Adjustments to reconcile reportable segment adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders to consolidated net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders assume a 21% current tax rate, plus any associated deferred taxes, and are net of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests.

(22) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Litigation and Regulatory Matters

We face the risk of litigation and regulatory investigations or other actions in the ordinary course of operating our businesses, including the risk of class action lawsuits. Our pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings specific to us and others generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which we operate. In our insurance operations, we are, have been, or may become subject to class actions and individual suits alleging, among other things, issues relating to sales or underwriting practices, increases to in-force long-term care insurance premiums, payment of contingent or other sales commissions, claims payments and procedures, product design, product disclosure, product administration, additional premium charges for premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, charging excessive or impermissible fees on products, recommending unsuitable products to customers, our pricing structures and business practices in our mortgage insurance subsidiaries, such as captive reinsurance arrangements with lenders and contract underwriting services, violations of the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act of 1974 or related state anti-inducement laws, and mortgage insurance policy rescissions and curtailments, and breaching fiduciary or other duties to customers, including but not limited to cybersecurity breaches of customer information. We also from time to time have had, and may in the future have, disputes with reinsurance partners relating to the parties’ rights and obligations under reinsurance treaties and/or related administration agreements. In our investment-related operations, we are subject to litigation involving commercial disputes with counterparties. We are also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities such as our contractual and employment relationships, including claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), post-closing obligations associated with previous dispositions and securities lawsuits. In addition, we are also subject to various regulatory inquiries, such as information requests, subpoenas, books and record examinations and market conduct and financial examinations from state, federal and international regulators and other authorities.

Plaintiffs in class action and other lawsuits against us have sought and/or may seek very large or indeterminate amounts which may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if we ultimately prevail in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we could suffer significant reputational harm, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We record an accrual in our consolidated financial statements for pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. At this time, while it is reasonably possible that an unfavorable outcome in a case may occur, except to the extent discussed below, management has concluded that it is not probable that a loss has been incurred in any of the pending cases, and management is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome in any of the pending cases. Therefore, we have not recorded any amounts in our consolidated financial statements for unfavorable outcomes, if any.

TVPX ARS, INC. v. GLAIC

In September 2018, GLAIC, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, was named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia captioned TVPX ARS, INC., as Securities Intermediary for Consolidated Wealth Management, LTD. on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated v. Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company. The plaintiff alleges unlawful and excessive cost of insurance charges were imposed on policyholders. The complaint asserts claims for breach of contract, alleging that Genworth improperly considered non-mortality factors when calculating cost of insurance rates and failed to decrease cost of insurance charges in light of improved expectations of future mortality, and seeks unspecified compensatory damages, costs and equitable relief. On October 29, 2018, we filed a motion to enjoin the case in the Middle District of Georgia, and a motion to dismiss and motion to stay in the Eastern District of Virginia. We moved to enjoin the prosecution of the Eastern District of Virginia action on the basis that it involves claims released in a prior nationwide class action settlement (the “McBride settlement”) that was approved by the Middle District of Georgia. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on November 13, 2018. On December 6, 2018, we moved the Middle District of Georgia for leave to file our counterclaim, which alleges that the plaintiff breached the covenant not to sue contained in the prior settlement agreement by filing its current action. On March 15, 2019, the Middle District of Georgia granted our motion to enjoin and denied our motion for leave to file our counterclaim. As such, the plaintiff is enjoined from pursuing its class action in the Eastern District of Virginia. On March 29, 2019, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal in the Middle District of Georgia, notifying the Court of its appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit from the order granting our motion to enjoin. On March 29, 2019, we filed our notice of cross-appeal in the Middle District of Georgia, notifying the Court of our cross-appeal to the Eleventh Circuit from the portion of the order denying our motion for leave to file our counterclaim. On April 8, 2019, the Eastern District of Virginia dismissed the case without prejudice, with leave for the plaintiff to refile an amended complaint only if a final appellate Court decision vacates the injunction and reverses the Middle District of Georgia’s opinion. On May 21, 2019, the plaintiff filed its appeal and memorandum in support in the Eleventh Circuit. We filed our response to the plaintiff’s appeal memorandum on July 3, 2019. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on the plaintiff’s appeal and our cross-appeal on April 21, 2020. On May 26, 2020, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the Middle District of Georgia’s order enjoining the plaintiff’s class action and remanded the case back to the Middle District of Georgia for further factual development as to whether Genworth has altered how it calculates or charges cost of insurance since the McBride settlement. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals did not reach a decision on Genworth’s counterclaim.

On June 30, 2021, we filed in the Middle District of Georgia our renewed motion to enforce the class action settlement and release and renewed our motion for leave to file a counterclaim. The briefing on both motions concluded in October 2021. On March 24, 2022, the Court denied our motions. On April 11, 2022, we filed an appeal of the Court’s denial to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. On June 22, 2022, we filed our opening brief in support of the appeal. The plaintiff filed its respondent’s brief on September 20, 2022, and we filed our reply brief on November 10, 2022. The appeal was orally argued on August 17, 2023, and on January 8, 2025, the Eleventh Circuit entered an order affirming the district court’s order. On January 29, 2025, we moved for rehearing by the panel and by the full court. On March 4, 2025, the Eleventh Circuit denied our motion for rehearing. On March 7, 2025, the plaintiff refiled its complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. On May 9, 2025, we moved to dismiss the refiled complaint for failure to state a cause of action. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on June 24, 2025 and a second amended complaint on July 14, 2025. On July 28, 2025, we moved to dismiss the second amended complaint for failure to state a cause of action. The plaintiff opposed our motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on August 25, 2025, and the court denied our motion to dismiss on November 18, 2025. On February 13, 2026, we moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, and the plaintiff moved for class certification. A trial date has been scheduled for late April 2026. We intend to continue to vigorously defend this action.

Burkhart et al. v. Genworth Financial et al.

In September 2018, Genworth Financial, Genworth Holdings, Genworth North America Corporation, Genworth Financial International Holdings, LLC (“GFIH”) and GLIC were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware captioned Richard F. Burkhart, William E. Kelly, Richard S. Lavery, Thomas R. Pratt, Gerald Green, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated v. Genworth et al. The plaintiffs allege that GLIC paid dividends to its parent and engaged in certain reinsurance transactions causing it to maintain inadequate capital capable of meeting its obligations to GLIC policyholders and agents. The complaint alleges

causes of action for intentional fraudulent transfer and constructive fraudulent transfer and seeks injunctive relief. We moved to dismiss this action in December 2018. On January 29, 2019, the plaintiffs exercised their right to amend their complaint. On March 12, 2019, we moved to dismiss the plaintiffs’ amended complaint. On April 26, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a memorandum in opposition to our motion to dismiss, which we replied to on June 14, 2019. On August 7, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to prevent proceeds that GFIH expected to receive from the then planned sale of its shares in Genworth MI Canada Inc. (“Genworth Canada”) from being transferred out of GFIH. On September 11, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a renewed motion seeking the same relief as their August 7, 2019 motion with an exception that allowed GFIH to transfer $450 million of expected proceeds from the sale of Genworth Canada through a dividend to Genworth Holdings to allow the pay-off of a senior secured term loan facility dated March 7, 2018 among Genworth Holdings as the borrower, GFIH as the limited guarantor and the lending parties thereto. Oral arguments on our motion to dismiss and the plaintiffs’ motion occurred on October 21, 2019, and the plaintiffs’ motion was denied. On January 31, 2020, the Court granted in part our motion to dismiss, dismissing claims relating to $395 million in dividends GLIC paid to its parent from 2012 to 2014 (out of the $410 million in total dividends subject to the plaintiffs’ claims). The Court denied the balance of the motion to dismiss leaving a claim relating to $15 million in dividends and unquantified claims relating to the 2016 termination of a reinsurance transaction. On March 27, 2020, we filed our answer to the plaintiffs’ amended complaint.

On May 26, 2021, the plaintiffs filed a second amended and supplemental class action complaint adding additional factual allegations and three new causes of action. On July 26, 2021, we moved to dismiss the three new causes of action and answered the balance of the second amended and supplemental class action complaint. The plaintiffs filed an opposition to our motion to dismiss on September 30, 2021. The Court heard oral arguments on the motion on December 7, 2021 and ordered each party to file supplemental submissions, which were filed on January 28, 2022. On May 10, 2022, the Court granted our motion to dismiss the three new causes of action. On January 27, 2022, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin GFIH from transferring any assets to any affiliate, including paying any dividends to Genworth Holdings, and to enjoin Genworth Holdings and Genworth Financial from transferring or distributing any value to Genworth Financial’s shareholders. On June 2, 2022, the plaintiffs withdrew their motion for a preliminary injunction. On January 12, 2024, the plaintiffs moved for class certification. We filed our opposition papers on February 23, 2024. On March 25, 2025, we filed a motion for summary judgment dismissing the second amended complaint, and the plaintiffs filed opposition papers as well as a motion for Rule 56(d) relief on May 14, 2025. On June 18, 2025, we filed reply papers in further support of our motion for summary judgment and moved separately to strike the plaintiffs’ motion. The plaintiffs opposed our motion to strike on July 11, 2025. On January 21, 2026, the court heard oral argument on our summary judgment motion, the plaintiffs’ Rule 56(d) motion and our motion to strike. We intend to continue to vigorously defend this action.

On August 1, 2022, a putative class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by two former Genworth employees against Genworth Financial, its Board of Directors and the Fiduciary and Investments Committee of Genworth Financial’s Retirement and Savings Plan (“Savings Plan”). The plaintiffs purport to act on behalf of the Savings Plan and all similarly situated participants and beneficiaries of the Savings Plan. The complaint asserts that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under ERISA by imprudently offering and inadequately monitoring a suite of BlackRock Target Date Funds as a retirement investment option for Genworth employees. The plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief, monetary damages and attorney’s fees. By stipulation entered September 6, 2022, the complaint was dismissed, without prejudice, against the Board of Directors and the Fiduciary and Investments Committee of Genworth Financial’s Savings Plan. On October 17, 2022, we moved to dismiss the complaint against the sole remaining defendant, Genworth Financial. The plaintiffs filed opposition papers on November 10, 2022, and we filed our reply papers on November 16, 2022. By order dated January 20, 2023, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion to serve an amended complaint, rendering our initial motion to dismiss moot. On January 20, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, and on February 2, 2023, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On March 16, 2023, the Court directed the plaintiffs to file a second amended complaint and denied our motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed the second amended complaint on April 17, 2023. On May 15, 2023, we answered and moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. On September 13, 2023, the Court granted in part and denied in part our motion to dismiss the second amended complaint.

The plaintiffs moved for class certification on October 16, 2023, and we filed opposition papers on December 4, 2023. Oral argument on the plaintiffs’ class certification motion was heard on February 12, 2024. On February 20, 2024,

we moved for summary judgment dismissing the claims, and the plaintiffs filed opposition papers on March 5, 2024. Oral argument was conducted on our summary judgment motion on March 25, 2024. On August 15, 2024, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion and certified the case as a class action. On August 29, 2024, the Court denied our motion for summary judgment. We filed a motion for leave to appeal from the trial court’s class certification order, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit granted leave to appeal on September 13, 2024. On March 7, 2025, we filed our opening appellate brief in the Fourth Circuit, and the plaintiffs filed their responding brief on April 7, 2025. The case is now stayed in trial court pending the determination of our appeal to the Fourth Circuit, oral argument of which occurred on October 21, 2025. We intend to continue to vigorously defend this action.

M/O Arbitration Between Blue Cross Blue Shield Nebraska and GLIC

On December 16, 2022, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska (“BCBSNE”) served an arbitration demand on GLIC in relation to BCBSNE’s stated intent to recapture a block of long-term care insurance policies for which the risk was partly ceded to GLIC. In its arbitration demand, BCBSNE alleged that GLIC breached the governing reinsurance agreement by refusing to agree to transfer assets equal to the fair value of the liabilities being recaptured. BCBSNE asserted it had satisfied all of its obligations under the reinsurance agreement and sought to recapture the ceded block of reinsurance. BCBSNE sought damages equal to the fair value of the recaptured liabilities, plus interest and other damages, including attorneys’ fees and costs. The arbitration proceeding occurred in September 2024, and the arbitration panel issued its final decision on May 19, 2025. Following the arbitration panel’s final decision, we made a $24 million payment to BCBSNE and released $50 million in insurance reserves, at the locked-in discount rate, related to the policies recaptured, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $26 million in the second quarter of 2025.

In Re MOVEit Customer Data Security Breach Litigation

Starting in June 2023, various Genworth entities (including Genworth Financial, GLIC and GLAIC) have been named as defendants in certain putative class action lawsuits in the United States District Courts for the Eastern District of Virginia and the District of Massachusetts. These cases are captioned as follows: Anastasio v. Genworth Financial, Inc. et al; Hauser v. Genworth Life Insurance Company; Smith v. Genworth Financial, Inc.; Behrens v. Genworth Life Insurance Company; Hale et al v. Genworth Financial, Inc.; Burkett, Jr. v. Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company; Manar v. Genworth Financial, Inc.; Romine et al. v. Progress Software Corporation et al.; Schwarz et al. v. Progress Software Corporation et al.; Casey et al. v. Genworth Life & Annuity Insurance Company; and Bailey v. Genworth Financial, Inc. The actions relate to the data security events involving the MOVEit file transfer system, which PBI Research Services (“PBI”), a third-party vendor, uses in the performance of its services (“MOVEit Cybersecurity Incident”). Our legacy insurance subsidiaries previously used PBI to, among other things, satisfy applicable regulatory obligations to search various databases to identify the deaths of insured persons under life insurance policies, and to identify deaths under long-term care insurance and annuity policies which can impact premium payment obligations and benefit eligibility. The plaintiffs seek to represent various classes and subclasses of Genworth long-term care insurance policyholders and agents whose data was accessed or potentially accessed by the MOVEit Cybersecurity Incident, alleging that Genworth breached its purported duty to safeguard their sensitive data from cybercriminals. The complaints assert claims for, inter alia, negligence, negligence per se, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and violations of various consumer protection and privacy statutes, and they seek, inter alia, declaratory and injunctive relief, compensatory and punitive damages, restitution, attorneys’ fees and costs. On October 4, 2023, the Joint Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an order consolidating all actions relating to the MOVEit Cybersecurity Incident before a single federal judge in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. All defendants, including the Genworth entities, filed a joint motion to dismiss the complaints on July 23, 2024. Oral argument on this motion occurred on October 9, 2024. On December 12, 2024, as relevant to Genworth, the court denied the motion. On February 4, 2025, several defendants, including the Genworth entities, filed a second motion to dismiss the complaints, and the plaintiffs filed opposition papers on April 7, 2025. Oral argument was conducted on the second motion to dismiss on May 12, 2025. On July 31, 2025, the court granted the second motion to dismiss in part and dismissed most of the causes of action against Genworth, retaining only the claims for common law negligence, breach of implied contract, and a Massachusetts statutory violation. On September 9, 2025, we moved for partial reconsideration of certain aspects of the July 31, 2025 decision, and the plaintiffs opposed that motion on September 23, 2025. On January 9, 2026, the court granted in part our motion for partial reconsideration by dismissing a certain negligence claim under California law and by confirming the dismissal of an Illinois statutory claim. We intend to continue to vigorously defend these actions.

Fox v. GLAIC

In March 2024, GLAIC was served with a putative class action lawsuit venued in the Superior Court of the State of California, Sacramento County, captioned James Fox, individually and on behalf of the class v. Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Co. The plaintiff, the holder of a lapsed California GLAIC life insurance policy, seeks to represent a class of current and former California GLAIC policyholders and beneficiaries whose policies were allegedly wrongfully terminated. The complaint alleges that GLAIC wrongfully terminated hundreds of California life insurance policies by failing to provide the policyholders with the notices and grace periods mandated by the contract and by the California Insurance Code as interpreted by the California Supreme Court in McHugh v. Protective Life Ins. Co. The complaint asserts causes of action for breach of contract, violation of the California Insurance Code, unfair competition and bad faith, and it seeks, inter alia, declaratory and injunctive relief, compensatory damages, restitution, attorneys’ fees and costs. The action was removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California on April 3, 2024. On May 8, 2024, we answered the complaint. On October 15, 2024, the court granted our motion to stay the action pending final determination of an appeal in a related case. On March 4, 2025, the court lifted the stay, and the plaintiff filed an amended complaint on April 21, 2025. On June 2, 2025, we answered the complaint and moved to strike its class action allegations. The plaintiff filed opposition papers to our motion to strike on June 16, 2025. The plaintiff moved to remand the matter to state court on June 30, 2025, and we opposed that motion on July 22, 2025. On August 19, 2025, the court denied both our motion to strike the class allegations and the plaintiff’s motion to remand the case to state court. The plaintiff filed a notice of appeal from that order on September 18, 2025, but the appeal was dismissed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on October 1, 2025. We intend to continue to vigorously defend this action.

Kaplan v. GLIC

On January 17, 2025, GLIC, GLICNY and various AARP entities were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia captioned Sharon R. Kaplan and Richard A. Kaplan on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated v. Genworth Life Insurance Co. et al. The complaint alleges that the Genworth and AARP defendants violated the District of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act by affirmatively misrepresenting and failing to adequately disclose information regarding the pricing structure and likelihood of rate increases for the My Future My Plan 2 series of long-term care insurance policies. The complaint further alleges that the Genworth defendants breached the terms of the relevant insurance contracts by increasing premiums because of the policies’ inflation protection component and by acting unreasonably in violation of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The complaint seeks, among other things, monetary damages and civil penalties. We removed the action to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on April 17, 2025. We moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action on May 15, 2025, and the plaintiff opposed that motion on July 7, 2025. We intend to continue to vigorously defend this action.

At this time, except to the extent discussed above, we cannot determine or predict the ultimate outcome of any of the pending legal and regulatory matters specifically identified above or the likelihood of potential future legal and regulatory matters against us. It is possible that related investigations and proceedings may be commenced in the future, and we could become subject to additional unrelated investigations and lawsuits. Increased regulatory scrutiny and any resulting investigations or proceedings could result in new legal precedents and industry-wide regulations or practices that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

(b) Commitments and Guarantees

See note 19 for amounts we were committed to fund related to our investments as of December 31, 2025.

As previously disclosed, in connection with pending litigation between AXA and Santander related to the PPI mis-selling losses, Genworth has certain rights to share in any recoveries by AXA to recoup payments it previously made to AXA for the underlying PPI mis-selling losses. Genworth is not a named party in the litigation with Santander, and, therefore, does not ultimately control the litigation. In order to better align the interests of AXA and Genworth in the litigation, in March 2025, Genworth agreed to provide AXA a guarantee for the recovery of certain of AXA’s PPI mis-selling losses not previously reimbursed by Genworth, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the litigation. The guarantee was provided through a stand-by letter of credit (“LC”) issued by a third-party financial institution for the benefit of AXA and a reimbursement agreement between Genworth and the third-party financial institution. Whether AXA could draw

upon the LC was subject to the amount of any settlement between AXA and Santander, or certain milestones in the court proceedings. The LC was terminated in November 2025. Prior to the termination, no amounts were recorded in 2025 related to the guarantee.

On July 25, 2025, the High Court issued a liability judgment in favor of AXA in the legal proceedings against Santander. The judgment finds Santander liable for AXA’s losses resulting from Santander’s mis-selling. The judge awarded AXA damages, interest and costs of approximately £680 million ($911 million based on the exchange rates at that point in time). Santander subsequently applied for permission to appeal, and the Court of Appeal granted that request on October 21, 2025. AXA sought permission to cross-appeal certain aspects of the High Court judgment and was granted permission in January 2026. The hearing before the Court of Appeal has been scheduled for July 21 to July 23, 2026. Under prior agreements between Genworth and AXA, Genworth is entitled to share in funds that AXA recovers from third parties related to the mis-selling losses. If the appeal is resolved in favor of AXA, Genworth could be entitled to receive a total recovery of approximately $750 million, depending upon the applicable exchange rate at that time. In November 2025, we received £15 million ($20 million) from AXA related to a portion of the liability judgment not subject to dispute. We recorded this loss recovery to income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes, in the consolidated statement of operations. See note 2 for a discussion of our policy for recognizing loss recoveries.

Genworth Financial provides a full and unconditional guarantee to the trustee and holders of Genworth Holdings’ outstanding senior and subordinated notes, on an unsecured unsubordinated and subordinated basis, respectively, of the full and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable under, the outstanding senior and subordinated notes and their respective indentures. For additional information on Genworth Holdings’ outstanding debt, see note 15 in the consolidated financial statements of Genworth Financial and its subsidiaries.

During 2024, Genworth Holdings entered into an interest rate swap designed to hedge the variable interest payments on $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 2066 Notes, locking in an approximate 5.5% fixed interest rate for a period of five years from the hedge origination date. In connection with the hedge agreement, Genworth Financial provided an unconditional guarantee to the counterparty, covering the obligations associated with the hedge transaction.

Genworth Financial also provides guarantees to third parties for the performance of certain lease obligations of its subsidiaries. Genworth Financial estimates that its potential obligations under such guarantees were approximately $47 million as of December 31, 2025.

In 2025, 2024 and 2023, Genworth Holdings forgave intercompany loans of $189 million, $127 million and $302 million, respectively, due from Genworth Financial. The extinguishment of the loans between the related parties was treated as non-cash deemed dividends to Genworth Financial and accordingly had no impact on Genworth Financial’s cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2025, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.

Management’s Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

Our independent auditor, KPMG LLP, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This attestation report appears below.
