AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Insurance Subsidiaries of OneMain Holdings, Inc.

Business Wire
AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++
(Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings of “bbb” (Good) of
American Health and Life Insurance Company (AHLIC) and Triton
Insurance Company (Triton) (both domiciled in Fort Worth, TX). Both
companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of OneMain Holdings, Inc.
(OneMain) [NYSE: OMF] (headquartered in Evansville, IN). The
outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
The ratings of AHLIC reflect its balance sheet strength, which
AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating
performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise
risk management (ERM). AHLIC’s ratings also reflect drag from the
parent company OneMain, a consumer finance company, which has
considerable financial leverage within our measurement. While
OneMain has exhibited an improved risk profile in recent years,
AHLIC and Triton are dependent on it as a primary distribution
source, and both insurance companies continue to have significant
concentration in credit insurance products. AHLIC also provides
term life insurance, which adds some diversity to its relatively
narrow portfolio of products. AHLIC has maintained the strongest
level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best’s
Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), and generates consistent, favorable
operating performance relative to peers and industry
benchmarks.
The ratings of Triton reflect its balance sheet strength, which
AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating
performance, neutral business profile and appropriate ERM. Triton’s
ratings also reflect a drag from OneMain. Triton maintains the
strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by
BCAR. In addition, AM Best considers Triton’s financial constraints
in terms of dividends in the ratings, as these constraints may
stress risk-adjusted capitalization in the future. Triton has
generated strong operating results in the last two years, which
followed significant volatility in premium volume and incurred
losses in 2020, due to the economic and financial impact of
COVID-19 on its main product, involuntary unemployment
insurance.
