Jackson Reports Record EPS and 34% Growth in Retail Annuity Sales in Q2

Laura Prieskorn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jackson, stated, "Our second quarter results reflect the growing strength and diversification of our business. We delivered record earnings per share and 34% growth in retail annuity sales compared to the same period last year. This demonstrates our distribution reach and the momentum in our spread business, supported by the enhanced capabilities of PPM and the growth of our partnership with TPG. Our robust in-force book of business drove strong progress toward our financial targets, with more than $300 million of free capital generation in the second quarter, $290 million of capital return to common shareholders, and healthy levels of excess cash at the holding company. We believe we are well positioned for the second half of 2026 and remain committed to helping Americans achieve financial freedom for life."
