Revenue Growth
Big picture, insurers generate revenue from three key sources. The first is the core business of underwriting policies. The second source is income from investing the “float” (premiums collected upfront not yet paid out as claims) in assets such as fixed-income assets and equities. The third is fees from various sources such as policy administration, annuities, or other value-added services. Regrettably, Assurant’s revenue grew at a mediocre 6.6% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This fell short of our benchmark for the insurance sector and is a poor baseline for our analysis.
Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Assurant’s annualized revenue growth of 7.9% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting some bright spots. 
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
This quarter, Assurant reported year-on-year revenue growth of 9.5%, and its $3.45 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 0.6%.
Net premiums earned made up 83.1% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning Assurant barely relies on non-insurance activities to drive its overall growth.
While insurers generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net premiums earned as the cornerstone — their direct link to core operations stands in sharp contrast to the unpredictability of investment returns and fees.

Net Premiums Earned
When insurers sell policies, they protect themselves from extremely large losses or an outsized accumulation of losses with reinsurance (insurance for insurance companies). Net premiums earned are therefore net of what’s ceded to reinsurers as a risk mitigation and transfer strategy.
Assurant’s net premiums earned has grown at a 5.2% annualized rate over the last five years, worse than the broader insurance industry and slower than its total revenue.
When analyzing Assurant’s net premiums earned over the last two years, we can see that growth accelerated to 6.5% annually. Since two-year net premiums earned grew slower than total revenue over this period, it’s implied that other line items such as investment income grew at a faster rate. These extra revenue streams are important to the bottom line, yet their performance can be inconsistent. Some firms have been more successful and consistent in managing their float, but sharp fluctuations in the fixed income and equity markets can dramatically affect short-term results.
This quarter, Assurant’s net premiums earned was $2.77 billion, up 6.9% year on year and in line with Wall Street Consensus estimates.
