Equitable Holdings swings to $349 million Q2 net loss; non-GAAP EPS falls to $1.10
Equitable Holdings reported a second-quarter 2025 net loss attributable to Holdings of $349 million, or $(1.21) per share, compared with net income of $428 million a year earlier. Non-GAAP operating earnings fell to $352 million, or $1.10 per share, from $495 million, or $1.43 per share, which the company attributed mainly to elevated mortality in its Individual Life block. Shareholders may weigh the July 31 closing of the Individual Life reinsurance deal with RGA, which the company says frees over $2 billion of capital, against the weaker quarterly earnings.
