Reportable catastrophes include catastrophe losses, net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments, as well as reinstatement and other premiums.
Total Assurant
Net operating income, excluding CATs(1,2), increased 22% compared to prior year period, primarily due to more favorablenon-catastropheloss experience in Global Housing and continued growth in Connected Living within Global Lifestyle
Earnings per diluted share, excluding CATs(1,2), increased 25% compared to prior year period, driven primarily by the factors noted above
Global Lifestyle
Earnings increased from prior year period, driven primarily by Connected Living mainly due to mobile from continued subscriber growth in North America and Asia Pacific, as well as improved profitability from extended service contracts
Results were partially offset by lower investment income and unfavorable foreign exchange, as well as lower volumes and unfavorable loss experience in Global Financial Services, including impacts from COVID-19
Global Housing
Earnings, excluding catastrophes, increased mainly due to more favorable non- catastrophe loss experience across specialty products and lender-placed driven by lower claims frequency, reserve releases related to run-off business and previously implemented underwriting initiatives
Growth in multifamily housing and specialty products also contributed to the increase
Global Preneed
Earnings increased in third quarter 2020 compared to the prior year period. Third quarter 2019 included a charge of $9.9 million for an accounting adjustment. Excluding this adjustment, underlying results decreased primarily due to lower investment income compared to the prior year period

We undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or other developments. The following factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those currently estimated by management, including those projected in the company outlook: (i) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the scope and duration of the outbreak, government actions and restrictive measures taken in response, and its effect on the global economic and financial markets; (ii) the loss of significant clients, distributors or other parties with whom we do business, or if we are unable to renew contracts with them on favorable terms, or those parties facing financial, reputational or regulatory issues; (iii) significant competitive pressures, changes in customer preferences and disruption; (iv) the failure to find suitable acquisitions, integrate completed acquisitions, or grow organically, and risks associated with joint ventures and franchise ownership and operations; (v) the impact of general economic, financial market and political conditions, including unfavorable conditions in the capital and credit markets and in the markets in which we operate, including as a result of COVID-19; (vi) risks related to our international operations, including the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union, or fluctuations in exchange rates; (vii) the impact of catastrophic and non-catastrophe losses, including as a result of climate change; (viii) our inability to recover should we experience a business continuity event, including as a result of COVID-19; (ix) our inability to develop and maintain distribution sources or attract and retain sales representatives and executives with key client relationships; (x) the failure to manage vendors and other third parties on whom we rely to conduct business and provide services to our clients; (xi) declines in the value of mobile devices, the risk of guaranteed buybacks or export compliance risk in our mobile business; (xii) negative publicity relating to our products and services or the markets in which we operate; (xiii) the failure to implement our strategy and to attract and retain key personnel, including senior management; (xiv) employee misconduct; (xv) the adequacy of reserves established for claims and our inability to accurately predict and price for claims; (xvi) a decline in financial strength ratings or corporate senior debt ratings; (xvii) an impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets; (xviii) the failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; (xix) a decrease in the value of our investment portfolio, including due to market, credit and liquidity risks, changes in interest rates and COVID-19; (xx) the impact of U.S. tax reform legislation and impairment of deferred tax assets; (xxi) the unavailability or inadequacy of reinsurance coverage and the credit risk of reinsurers, including those to whom we have sold business through reinsurance; (xxii) the credit risk of some of our agents, third-party administrators and clients;
the inability of our subsidiaries to pay sufficient dividends to the holding company and limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends, including as a result of COVID- 19; (xxiv) changes in the method for determining LIBOR or the replacement of LIBOR; (xxv) the failure to effectively maintain and modernize our information technology systems and infrastructure, or the failure to integrate those of acquired businesses; (xxvi) breaches of our information systems or those of third parties with whom we do business, or the failure to protect data in such systems, including due to cyber-attacks and as a result of working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic; (xxvii) the costs of complying with, or the failure to comply with, extensive laws and regulations to which we are subject, including those related to privacy, data security and data protection; (xxviii) the impact from litigation and regulatory actions, including those arising from COVID-19; (xxix) reductions or deferrals in the insurance premiums we charge, including as a result of COVID-19; and

Assurant uses the following non-GAAP financial measures to analyze the company's operating performance. Because Assurant's calculation of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing Assurant's non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.
Net operating income equals net income attributable to common stockholders, excluding the Global Preneed goodwill impairment, net realized gains (losses) on investments (which includes unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and changes in fair value of direct investments in collateralized loan obligations), COVID-19 direct and incremental expenses, the CARES Act tax benefit, foreign exchange gains (losses) from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities, the net charge related to Iké, as well as other highly variable or unusual items other than reportable catastrophes. Net operating income, excluding reportable catastrophes, excludes reportable catastrophes, which represent catastrophe losses net of reinsurance and client profit sharing adjustments and including reinstatement and other premiums. The company believes net operating income, excluding reportable catastrophes, provides investors a valuable measure of the performance of the company's ongoing business because it excludes items that do not represent the ongoing operations of the company and because it excludes reportable catastrophes, which can be volatile. The comparable GAAP measure is net income attributable to common stockholders.

Because Assurant's calculation of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing Assurant's non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.
Assurant uses net operating income per diluted share, excluding reportable catastrophes, as another important measure of the company's stockholder value. Net operating income per diluted share equals net operating income (defined in prior slide) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding, excluding any dilutive effect from the assumed conversion of the mandatory convertible preferred stock prior to the acquisition date. The company believes this metric provides investors a valuable measure of stockholder value because it excludes items that do not represent the ongoing operations of the company. In addition, it excludes the effect of the mandatory convertible preferred stock, which was used to finance the TWG acquisition, prior to the acquisition date. The comparable GAAP measure is net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share, defined as net income attributable to common stockholders plus any dilutive preferred stock dividends divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Corporate and Other net operating loss equals Corporate and Other segment net loss attributable to common stockholders, excluding the Global Preneed goodwill impairment, interest expense, net realized gains (losses) on investments (which includes unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities and changes in fair value of direct investments in collateralized loan obligations), COVID-19 direct and incremental expenses, the CARES Act tax benefit, foreign exchange gains (losses) from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities, the net charge related to Iké, as well as other highly variable or unusual items other than reportable catastrophes. The company believes Corporate and Other net operating loss provides investors a valuable measure of the performance of the company's corporate segment because it excludes highly variable items that do not represent the ongoing results of the company's corporate segment. The comparable GAAP measure is Corporate and
Other segment net loss attributable to common stockholders.
