Regulation FD Disclosure - Form 8-K
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Voya Financial, Inc. (the "Company", "we" and "our") is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose alternative investment income and prepayment fees above (below) long-term expectations prior to the availability of the Company's quarterly earnings release and quarterly financial supplement for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, scheduled for release on April 30, 2024.
For the first quarter 2024, the Company's alternative investment income and prepayment fees are estimated to be approximately $35 million - $45 million (pre-tax), which is approximately $8 million - $18 million below our long-term expectations, before variable and incentive compensation. Included in these figures are alternative investment income and prepayment fees in our general account and investment capital returns in our Investment Management segment.
The long-term expectation for alternative investments is a 9% annual return, and the long-term expectation for prepayment fees is a 10-basis-point annual contribution to yield.
The preliminary financial results presented above are the responsibility of management and have been prepared in good faith on a consistent basis with prior periods. However, we have not completed our financial closing procedures for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and our actual results could be materially different from these preliminary financial results. In addition, Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to these preliminary financial results and does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to these preliminary financial results or their achievability. During the course of the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, we may identify items that would require us to make material adjustments to the preliminary financial results presented above. As a result, prospective investors should exercise caution in relying on this information and should not draw any inferences from this information regarding financial or operating data not provided. These preliminary financial results should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these preliminary financial results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved in any future period.
As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information provided pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
