Business

Voya Financial, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), is a financial services organization that offers a broad range of retirement services, group insurance and supplemental health products, investment management services and mutual funds primarily in the United States. Products and services are provided by the Company through three segments: Retirement, Investment Management and Employee Benefits. Activities not directly related to the Company's segments and certain run-off activities that are not meaningful to the Company's business strategy are included within Corporate. See the Segments Note to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On January 2, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of the full-service retirement plan business of OneAmerica Financial through the purchase of legal entities and an indemnity reinsurance agreement. The acquisition adds scale and a broader set of capabilities to the Company's full-service business in Retirement, including incremental assets in emerging and mid-market segments, employee stock ownership plan capabilities and new distribution partnerships. The purchase consideration included $50 in cash paid at closing and contingent consideration based on plan persistency and transition incentives. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company paid $129 of contingent consideration, with up to $20 remaining payable later in 2026 based on the achievement of transition incentives.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and are unaudited. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Voya Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as other voting interest entities ("VOEs") and variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. See the Consolidated and Nonconsolidated Investment Entities Note to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to current-period reporting classifications. These reclassifications had no impact on Net income or Total shareholders' equity.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and reflect adjustments (including normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires the following disclosures:
Disclose the amounts of (a) employee compensation; (b) depreciation; and (c) intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption.
Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under U.S. GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements.
Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively.
Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is in the process of determining the disclosures that may be required by the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2024-03.

Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"), which amends certain aspects of accounting for, and disclosure of, internal-use software costs. Key amendments include:
Elimination of software development stages used to determine capitalization
Capitalization of software costs when both of the following occur:
Management has authorized and committed to funding the software project
It is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended ("probable-to-complete recognition threshold")
Disclosures in Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment, are required for all capitalized internal-use software costs, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may adopt ASU 2025-06 using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of adopting the provisions of ASU 2025-06.
