COLUMBUS, Ga. - Aflac Incorporated is scheduled to release its third-quarter 2026 financial results after the stock market closes today, Wednesday, Nov. 4, followed by an investor webcast Thursday, Nov. 5, at 8 a.m. Eastern. The Columbus-based company announced the reporting schedule in a Sept. 30 press release, stating that its earnings release, financial supplement and a video update from Chief Financial Officer Max K. Brodén will be available through its investor relations website. Chairman and CEO Daniel P. Amos and Brodén are scheduled to discuss the results during Thursday's conference call, according to Aflac.
The company's third-quarter results have not yet been released as of this morning's publication. Its most recently reported quarterly figures are for the second quarter of 2026, when Aflac recorded $825 million in net earnings and $4.1 billion in total revenues, according to its Aug. 6 earnings release. The scheduled announcement will provide the next quarterly financial report, with additional discussion planned during the following morning's webcast.
1. When will Aflac report its third-quarter results?
Aflac Incorporated, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol AFL, is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 financial results after the market closes Wednesday, Nov. 4. The company confirmed that date in a Sept. 30 announcement issued from Columbus, Georgia. The announcement does not specify an exact clock time for the earnings release.
According to Aflac, the earnings announcement will be accompanied by a financial supplement and a video update from Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Max K. Brodén. All three materials are scheduled to become available through the company's investor relations website. The financial update video is separate from the live webcast scheduled for Thursday morning.
The timing creates two distinct events for readers following the company's financial reporting. Wednesday's release will provide the quarterly results and supporting materials after the market closes. Thursday's webcast will provide an opportunity to hear company executives discuss those reported results and address questions.
Aflac's September announcement establishes the reporting schedule but does not contain the actual third-quarter financial results. Figures from the second quarter therefore remain the latest reported quarterly earnings information. No third-quarter earnings figures or estimates are included in this report.
2. What time is Thursday's Aflac earnings webcast?
Aflac has scheduled its third-quarter earnings conference call for Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, at 8 a.m. Eastern. The webcast follows Wednesday's planned release of the financial results and CFO video update. According to the company's announcement, participants can register through investors.aflac.com.
Aflac instructs participants to register five to seven minutes before the webcast begins. That places the recommended registration window between approximately 7:53 a.m. and 7:55 a.m. Thursday. The company provides the registration information through its investor relations website.
The conference call is scheduled to address the company's third-quarter results following their release. Aflac identifies its senior executives as the participants who will discuss the report and take questions. The webcast schedule is included in the same Sept. 30 announcement that establishes the Nov. 4 earnings release date.
For readers distinguishing between the two events, the results are scheduled for Wednesday after the market closes, while the executive discussion is scheduled for Thursday at 8 a.m. The CFO's financial update video is also expected to accompany Wednesday's materials. Wednesday's materials and Thursday's call are separate events. Both sets of information are directed through Aflac's investor relations website.
3. Which Aflac executives will speak during the call?
Aflac's announcement identifies Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel P. Amos and Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Max K. Brodén as the executives scheduled to discuss the third-quarter results. Amos and Brodén are the two principal speakers named for that discussion. The company also identifies additional executives who will participate in the question-and-answer portion.
Virgil R. Miller, president of Aflac Incorporated and Aflac U.S., is scheduled to join the question-and-answer session. Aflac says other executives from its U.S. and Japan operations will also participate. The September announcement does not provide the names of those additional executives.
Brodén has a separate role in Wednesday's planned disclosure because the company will publish a financial update video featuring him. The video is scheduled to accompany the earnings release and financial supplement. The next morning's webcast will include Amos and Brodén discussing the results with the other identified participants.
The company's announcement provides the names and roles of the executives but does not include their statements about the upcoming quarter's financial performance. Their scheduled participation identifies who will address the report once it becomes public. The reported results themselves remain pending until Wednesday's release.
4. What did Aflac report in the second quarter of 2026?
Aflac's most recent quarterly earnings announcement was released Aug. 6, 2026, covering the second quarter of the year. According to the company's earnings release filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Aflac reported net earnings of $825 million, equivalent to $1.63 per diluted share. The same report listed adjusted earnings of $1.75 per diluted share.
The company's adjusted earnings per diluted share declined 1.7% compared with the corresponding quarter a year earlier. Aflac also reported total quarterly revenues of $4.1 billion, a decrease of 1.0% from the prior-year period. Those figures describe the second quarter and should not be interpreted as the results for the third quarter scheduled to be reported today.
| Second-quarter 2026 measure | Reported result |
|---|---|
| Net earnings | $825 million |
| Net earnings per diluted share | $1.63 |
| Adjusted earnings per diluted share | $1.75 |
| Change in adjusted earnings per diluted share | Down 1.7% year over year |
| Total revenues | $4.1 billion |
| Change in total revenues | Down 1.0% year over year |
The figures come from Aflac's Aug. 6 earnings disclosure, which is available through the SEC. They provide the latest completed quarterly comparison ahead of Wednesday's scheduled announcement. The company's new report will cover the third quarter rather than the second-quarter period represented in the table.
In the August announcement, Amos said, "Aflac delivered solid earnings for the quarter and for the first six months." The statement accompanied the company's reported second-quarter results. It was not a comment on the third-quarter results scheduled for release today.
5. What dividend did Aflac announce with its last earnings report?
Aflac's second-quarter earnings materials also reported a quarterly dividend of $0.61 per share. According to the company's August disclosure, the dividend was payable Sept. 1, 2026, to shareholders of record on Aug. 19, 2026. Those dates relate to the dividend declared with the second-quarter financial report.
For illustration, a quarterly dividend of $0.61 per share would equal $2.44 per share over four quarters if the same payment rate remained unchanged. That calculation multiplies the reported quarterly amount by four. It is not an announcement of a future annual dividend or a projection of what Aflac will pay.
The $0.61 quarterly figure is part of the company's last reported earnings information. The scheduled Nov. 4 announcement concerns third-quarter financial results, and the September scheduling release does not establish a third-quarter dividend amount. No new dividend declaration is being reported here.
The dividend information and second-quarter earnings figures come from the same August disclosure. They provide historical financial information for readers reviewing the company's previously announced results. Wednesday's scheduled release is a separate reporting event.
6. Where will the earnings release and financial supplement be posted?
Aflac says the third-quarter earnings release will be published on its investor relations website at investors.aflac.com after the market closes Wednesday. The company also plans to post a financial supplement and the video update featuring CFO Max K. Brodén. These materials are identified in its Sept. 30 announcement.
The financial supplement is listed as a separate component of the scheduled disclosure. The company identifies the CFO video as an additional update accompanying the results. Both are scheduled to be made available alongside the earnings announcement through the investor relations site.
The same website provides registration access for Thursday's 8 a.m. conference call. Aflac instructs participants to complete registration five to seven minutes before the webcast starts. The announcement therefore directs readers to one website for the release materials and the following morning's discussion.
The September release describes when and where the information will become available but does not contain the figures that will be announced today. Readers looking for the third-quarter numbers will need the scheduled earnings release rather than the earlier scheduling notice. The August second-quarter release remains a separate historical disclosure.
7. How can investors and news organizations contact Aflac?
Aflac identifies separate contacts for analysts and investors and for members of the news media in its Sept. 30 announcement. David A. Young is listed as the analyst and investor contact. Ines Gutzmer is identified as the company's media contact.
Official contacts listed by Aflac:
| Contact | Information |
|---|---|
| Analyst and investor relations | David A. Young |
| Investor telephone | 706-596-3264 or 800-235-2667 |
| Investor email | [email protected] |
| Media contact | Ines Gutzmer |
| Media telephone | 762-207-7601 |
| Media email | [email protected] |
These contact details come directly from the company's scheduled earnings announcement. They are listed separately from the website registration process for the webcast. The announcement also directs readers to Aflac's investor relations website for the financial reporting materials.
The official contact information provides different channels for investor-related and media-related questions. The earnings release, financial supplement and CFO video are scheduled for publication through the company's website. Thursday's webcast remains the announced forum for executives to discuss the reported financial results.
8. What happens next in Aflac's reporting schedule?
Aflac's announced schedule begins with the third-quarter earnings release after the market closes today, Wednesday, Nov. 4. The company will also provide its financial supplement and a video update from CFO Max K. Brodén. The exact publication time after the market closes is not specified in the Sept. 30 announcement.
The next scheduled event is Thursday's 8 a.m. Eastern conference call. Chairman and CEO Daniel P. Amos and Brodén are scheduled to discuss the newly released results, with President Virgil R. Miller and other executives from the United States and Japan participating in the questions. Aflac recommends registering through its investor relations website five to seven minutes before the call begins.
Until the new results are published, the last reported quarterly figures remain those released Aug. 6 for the second quarter of 2026. Those results included $825 million in net earnings, $4.1 billion in total revenues and adjusted earnings of $1.75 per diluted share. The figures are historical results and do not indicate what the company will report for the third quarter.
The company's official earnings announcement provides the confirmed dates, participating executives and publication arrangements. Its investor relations website is the designated location for both the Wednesday materials and Thursday webcast registration. The scheduled release after today's market close will provide Aflac's next set of quarterly financial results.
