Jackson swings to Q1 net loss of $35 million; adjusted earnings rise to $376 million
Jackson Financial reported a first-quarter 2025 net loss attributable to common shareholders of $35 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared with net income of $784 million, or $9.94 per diluted share, a year earlier. The company attributed the loss partly to a $161 million loss from business reinsured to third parties, and said adjusted operating earnings, a non-GAAP measure, better reflect underlying performance. Adjusted operating earnings rose to $376 million, or $5.10 per diluted share, from $334 million, or $4.23 per diluted share, helped by higher spread income and fewer diluted shares.
