Genworth Financial Announces $350 Million Expansion of Existing Share Repurchase Program

Genworth Financial, Inc. (NYSE: GNW) today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the company to repurchase an additional $350 million of shares of its Class A common stock under its existing share repurchase program. As of July 31, 2023, approximately 52 million shares of Class A common stock had been acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $264 million since the inception of the company’s share repurchase program in May 2022. After increasing the authorization, and as of July 31, 2023, an aggregate of approximately $436 million will be available for purchase under the program.

“We are pleased to announce the expansion of our existing share repurchase program by another $350 million, the same level of our previous authorization. The Board’s decision to expand our share repurchase plan reflects the transformative progress we have made in recent years and the Board’s confidence in our strategy and our future,” said Tom McInerney, Genworth President and CEO. “The position of our balance sheet and continued strong performance by our mortgage insurance subsidiary, Enact, gives us confidence in our ongoing ability to generate free cash flow and return capital to shareholders.”

Repurchases under the authorized program will be funded from holding company capital, as well as future cash flow generation, including expected future capital returns from Genworth’s ownership in Enact Holdings, Inc.

Under the program, share repurchases may be made at the company’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 shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, and general business and market conditions. The authorization has no expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.
