Richmond, VA (July 31, 2012) — Genworth Financial, Inc. (NYSE: GNW) today reported results for the second quarter of 2012. The company reported net income¹ of $76 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $136 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011. Net operating income² for the second quarter of 2012 was $80 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with a net operating loss of $113 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011.

“Total net operating income increased both year over year and sequentially, with substantial improvement in Global Mortgage Insurance results partly offset by declines in Insurance and Wealth Management,” said Martin P.

U.S. Life Insurance Segment

Highlights

• U.S. Life Insurance segment net operating income remained unchanged sequentially at $64 million and was down from $100 million in the prior year.

• As part of the company’s strategy to actively manage new business for improved profitability and statutory earnings, a combination of targeted product changes and price increases in life and long term care insurance were recently announced.

• In the third quarter of 2012, the company plans to request another round of long term care in force premium rate increases with the goal of achieving an average premium increase in excess of 50 percent on the older generation policies and an average premium increase in excess of 25 percent on an earlier series of new generation policies over the next five years. Subject to regulatory approval, this premium rate increase would generate approximately $200 to $300 million of additional annual premiums when fully implemented.

• The consolidated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio is estimated to be approximately 405 percent⁶, down from 425 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2012 from equity market and interest rate declines and an extraordinary cash dividend of $100 million which was paid in April to the holding company.

Life insurance net operating income was $30 million, compared with $6 million in the prior quarter and $57 million in the prior year. Results in the quarter included less favorable term mortality versus the prior quarter driven by slightly higher severity of claims. Results in the current quarter reflected higher mortality which was $9 million less favorable than the prior year although still in line with pricing expectations. Prior quarter results included a $41 million after-tax net loss on the life block sales transaction and $13 million of favorable interest expense associated with an adjustment related to the tax matters agreement with our former parent. Prior year results included an $11 million after-tax gain from the selective repurchase of notes secured by non-recourse funding obligations and $7 million of investment income from bond calls and limited partnerships. Sales were up $4 million versus the prior quarter and $3 million versus the prior year. As part of the company’s strategy to actively manage new business volume for improved profitability and statutory earnings, sales of its 15 year and 30 year term universal life insurance products were suspended in April and June of 2012, respectively. The company continues to utilize reinsurance in life insurance as part of its capital optimization strategies.

Long term care net operating income was $14 million, compared with $35 million in the prior quarter and $18 million in the prior year. The reported loss ratio in the quarter increased eight points from the prior quarter and

four points over the prior year to 74 percent. Lower claim termination rates, higher new claim severity and modestly higher new claim counts all negatively impacted the quarter. We expect variations to continue quarter to quarter. Results in the current quarter also included a $3 million unfavorable impact versus the prior quarter and an $8 million favorable impact versus the prior year from the most recent premium rate increase on older issued policies. Results in the prior quarter included a $10 million favorable actuarial reserve adjustment as part of a multi-stage system conversion. Individual long term care sales increased to $53 million during the quarter from normal seasonal increases and accelerated sales as additional states transitioned to the latest product offering. The company continues to utilize reinsurance in long term care insurance as part of its capital optimization strategies.

Effective July, the company introduced changes to its individual long term care product to strengthen profitability and reduce risk. Certain lifetime benefits coverages and limited pay options will no longer be available, underwriting was further tightened, first year commissions were lowered and certain discounts were reduced or eliminated effectively increasing average pricing by more than 20 percent on the products impacted. In addition, the company began filing a new product scheduled for early 2013 release, which will include several transformational concepts such as gender distinct pricing for single applicants and blood and lab underwriting requirements for all applicants. As of July 27, 2012, the new product has been filed in 38 states and has received approval from seven states. There may be temporary increases in long term care insurance sales levels of the current product before it is replaced by the new product.

The previously announced premium rate increase of approximately 18 percent on the majority of older issued policies has been substantially implemented. As of June 30, 2012, the company had received approvals for price increases in 45 states, representing approximately 80 percent of the targeted premiums. In the third quarter of 2012, the company plans to request another round of long term care in force premium rate increases with the goal of achieving an average premium increase in excess of 50 percent on the older generation policies and an average premium increase in excess of 25 percent on an earlier series of new generation policies over the next five years. Subject to regulatory approval, this premium rate increase would generate approximately $200 to $300 million of additional annual premiums when fully implemented. The goal of these premium rate increases is to mitigate losses on the older generation and, on the earlier series of the newer generation which has generated positive operating earnings to date, help offset lower than priced-for returns due to lower interest rates, unfavorable business mix and lower lapse rates than expected.

Fixed annuities net operating income was $20 million, compared with $23 million in the prior quarter and $25 million in the prior year. Results in the prior quarter reflected a release of a $3 million expense accrual related to state guarantee fund assessments. The results for the quarter were down from the prior year driven by more unfavorable mortality in the current quarter. Sales in the quarter totaled $336 million and were flat sequentially as the company continues to maintain spreads through both asset portfolio management and crediting rate strategies to meet or exceed targeted returns in the low interest rate environment.

5

International Protection Segment

Highlights

• Reported net operating income was $3 million, compared with $5 million in the prior quarter and $25 million in the prior year. Results in the prior quarter were impacted by an unfavorable premium tax adjustment related to a tax court ruling and lower tax benefits.

• The reported loss ratio increased one point from the prior quarter and eight points from the prior year to 24 percent and the underwriting margin⁷ decreased six points from the prior year and one point from prior quarter to 13 percent. Improvements seen in certain markets were more than offset by profit sharing in those markets, lower premiums and an increase in reserves in certain Southern European markets where the unemployment rate continues to rise and profit sharing is lower.

• The regulatory capital ratio decreased three points to 357 percent⁶, well in excess of regulatory requirements.

International Protection earnings decreased $2 million sequentially and $22 million from the prior year from slowing sales and higher claims in contracts with lower profit sharing, which more than offset lower operating expenses. In light of the continued slow consumer lending environment in Europe, additional actions have been taken to reduce expenses and mitigate these impacts. Despite the continued challenging lending environment, sales increased 10 percent⁸ versus the prior quarter, but decreased four percent⁸ versus the prior year as Northern Europe performed stronger than Southern Europe. New claim registrations in Europe decreased eight percent versus the prior quarter and were flat versus the prior year. At quarter end, the lifestyle protection business had a regulatory capital ratio of approximately 357 percent⁶.

Wealth Management Segment

Highlights

• Net operating income was $12 million, compared with $12 million in the prior quarter and $13 million in the prior year.

• In July 2012, the company announced it expanded its investment platform for independent financial advisors in response to the current market environment and investor needs by adding eight new strategies to address challenges faced by financial advisors and their clients.

• On April 2, 2012, the company completed the sale of its tax and accounting financial advisors unit, GFIS, to Cetera Financial. The company recognized a realized gain of $15 million related to the sale in the second quarter of 2012 which has been included in net income but not in net operating income.

⁸  Percent change excludes the impact of foreign exchange.

Wealth Management net operating income was $12 million, compared with $12 million in the prior quarter and $13 million in the prior year. Net operating income in the prior quarter and prior year were approximately $2 million for GFIS. Assets under management (AUM) decreased approximately $3.4 billion sequentially to $22.3 billion reflecting a $2.8 billion decline related to the sale of GFIS. In addition, challenging market conditions impacted AUM by $348 million. Net flows for the quarter were negative $245 million, primarily related to prior year relative investment performance. Margins⁹ as a percentage of average AUM increased seven percent from the prior year, primarily from growth from the 2010 acquisition of the Altegris companies. As of the end of the quarter, total advisors with assets on the platform were 6,430.

Global Mortgage Insurance Division

Global Mortgage Insurance Division had net operating income of $51 million, compared with a net operating loss of $36 million in the prior quarter and a net operating loss of $177 million a year ago, benefitting sequentially from improved loss ratios across U.S. MI, Australia and Canada.

The loss ratio was 32 percent, down six points sequentially and down one point year over year.

• Australia operating earnings of $44 million were down from $54 million in the prior year from higher incurred losses.

• Other Countries had a net operating loss of $9 million, in line with the prior quarter.

• In Canada, flow new insurance written (NIW) was up 63 percent⁸ sequentially from seasonal variation and down nine percent⁸ year over year from a smaller origination market. In addition, the company completed several bulk transactions, consisting of low loan-to-value prime loans, of approximately $13.1 billion reflecting its selective participation in this market.

• In Australia, flow NIW was up eight percent⁸ sequentially and up 24 percent⁸ year over year as the current year origination market was larger primarily from refinancing activity.

• The Canadian and Australian businesses continue to maintain sound capital positions.

Canada operating earnings of $41 million were up from $37 million in the prior quarter and $28 million in the prior year. Prior year earnings included a $12 million negative tax adjustment associated with an increase in the effective tax rate resulting from the anticipated restructuring of the government guarantee fund. The loss

ratio in the quarter was 32 percent, down from 38 percent in the prior quarter and down from 33 percent in the prior year from continued improvement in Alberta. The lower losses in the current quarter were partially offset by lower earned premiums from the maturing of the larger 2007 and 2008 books of business. Flow NIW was up 63 percent⁸ sequentially from seasonal variation and down nine percent⁸ year over year from a smaller origination market. In addition, the company completed several bulk transactions, consisting of low loan-to-value prime loans, of approximately $13.1 billion reflecting its selective participation in this market. At quarter end, the Canada mortgage insurance business had a regulatory capital ratio of 160 percent⁶, well in excess of regulatory requirements. GAAP book value was $2.7 billion, of which $1.6 billion represented Genworth’s 57.5 percent ownership interest.

Australia reported net operating income of $44 million versus reported operating earnings of $54 million in the prior year and a net operating loss of $21 million in the prior quarter. Paid claims were higher in the current quarter, but in line with the first quarter reserve strengthening expectations. The loss ratio in the quarter was 54 percent, down 100 points sequentially and up six points from the prior year. Overall, delinquencies were down four percent from the prior quarter. Flow NIW was up eight percent⁸ sequentially and up 24 percent⁸ year over year as the current year origination market was larger primarily from refinancing activity. At quarter end, the Australia mortgage insurance business had a regulatory capital ratio of 161 percent⁶, well in excess of regulatory requirements. Consistent with the company’s capital management plan of obtaining external reinsurance to replace internal reinsurance, effective in July 2012, the company terminated a reinsurance agreement with an affiliate, which will lower the capital ratio by approximately 25 to 28 points but remain in compliance with regulatory requirements. The GAAP book value was $2.2 billion as of the end of the quarter.

Other countries net operating loss of $9 million was flat sequentially but increased $5 million from the prior year driven by an increase in losses in Europe.

U.S. Mortgage Insurance Segment

Highlights

• U.S. MI net operating loss improved to $25 million, compared with net operating losses of $43 million in the prior quarter and $255 million in the prior year. Results in the current quarter included a $12 million after-tax favorable impact from the termination of an external reinsurance contract.

• Total flow delinquencies of 71,878 decreased six percent sequentially and 15 percent from the prior year. New flow delinquencies declined approximately seven percent from the prior quarter and approximately 21 percent from the prior year.

• Loss mitigation savings were $162 million in the current quarter and $320 million through the second quarter of 2012, exceeding the low end of the previously announced full year loss mitigation savings target of $300 to $400 million.

• Flow NIW increased 20 percent over the prior quarter to $3.6 billion reflecting an increase in overall private mortgage insurance penetration and a larger origination market.

• The combined risk-to-capital ratio as of June 30, 2012 is estimated at 29.5:1⁶.

9

U.S. MI net operating loss improved to $25 million, compared with net operating losses of $43 million in the prior quarter and $255 million in the prior year. The improvement over the prior quarter reflects a decrease in new delinquency development and effective loss mitigation programs partially offset by modest changes in aging of existing delinquencies and lower cure activity. Results in the current quarter included a $12 million after-tax favorable impact from the termination of an external reinsurance contract.

Total flow delinquencies decreased six percent sequentially and 15 percent versus the prior year. New flow delinquencies declined approximately seven percent from the prior quarter and approximately 21 percent from the prior year, reflecting the continuing burn through of delinquencies from the 2005 to 2008 book years. The flow average reserve per delinquency was $30,600, flat to the prior quarter.

Total losses decreased $23 million from the prior quarter driven by continued improvement in new delinquencies partially offset by modest changes in aging. Sequentially, paid claims decreased slightly. Paid claims increased 37 percent from the prior year, driven by higher claim counts and a reduction in captive benefits partially offset by a reduction in severity from claims mitigation.

Loss mitigation savings were $162 million in the quarter, up three percent from the prior quarter, as an increase in claims mitigation was partially offset by an overall decline in workouts as the delinquency inventory declines and ages.

Flow NIW increased 20 percent over the prior quarter to $3.6 billion reflecting an increase in overall private mortgage insurance penetration and a larger origination market. Overall private mortgage insurance market penetration was up approximately one point versus the prior quarter and up approximately two points year over year. The company’s market share decreased slightly from the first quarter to an estimated 13 percent. Flow persistency was 82 percent. During the quarter, the company announced reduced pricing and expanded underwriting guidelines that will increase our competitiveness in the market while still meeting return thresholds. In addition, the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) accounted for about $2.3 billion of insurance that is treated as a modification of the coverage on existing insurance in force rather than NIW.

The combined U.S. MI statutory risk-to-capital ratio is estimated at 29.5:1⁶ at the end of the second quarter with the risk-to-capital ratio for Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation (GEMICO), the company’s primary mortgage insurance company, estimated at 34.3:1⁶. GEMICO currently maintains waivers or other authorizations from 44 states that permit the company to continue writing new business while its risk-to-capital ratio exceeds 25.0:1. Additionally, the company has separately capitalized and licensed legal entities to write new business for states where waivers are not in place, subject to the approval of applicable regulators and the

10

GSEs (government sponsored entities) approval. Currently, new business in five states is being written out of Genworth Residential Mortgage Assurance Corporation (GRMAC), a subsidiary of GEMICO. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the North Carolina Department of Insurance granted GEMICO an 18 month extension of the revocable waiver of compliance with its risk-to-capital requirement through July 31, 2014.

Runoff Segment

The Runoff segment’s net operating loss was $6 million, compared with net operating income of $35 million in the prior quarter and $18 million in the prior year. Results in the current quarter reflected lower tax benefits compared to the prior quarter and prior year of $15 million and $14 million, respectively. Excluding the lower tax benefits for the segment, earnings were lower by $26 million versus the prior quarter and $10 million versus the prior year primarily from unfavorable equity market and interest rate conditions impacting the variable annuity business.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other’s net operating loss was $44 million, compared with $49 million in the prior quarter and $92 million in the prior year. Results in the prior year reflected higher taxes. On a pre-tax operating basis, the loss increased modestly year over year.

11

Investment Portfolio Performance

Investment income increased modestly, with net investment income of $846 million, compared to $832 million in the first quarter. The core yield² increased sequentially to approximately 4.7 percent from approximately 4.6 percent primarily from improved limited partnership performance.

Net income in the quarter included $19 million of net investment losses, net of tax and deferred acquisition cost amortization of $3 million.

Net unrealized investment gains were $2.0 billion, net of tax and other items, as of June 30, 2012, compared with $264 million as of June 30, 2011 and $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2012. The fixed maturity securities portfolio had gross unrealized investment gains of $5.9 billion compared with $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2011 and gross unrealized investment losses of $1.0 billion compared with $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2011.

Holding Company

Genworth’s holding company ended the quarter with approximately $1.2 billion of cash and highly liquid securities, down approximately $250 million sequentially from the debt maturity of $222 million in June and approximately $110 million of debt interest payments, partially offset by dividends and sale proceeds, including taxes paid to the holding company of $193 million that included $100 million from the Medicare supplement sale and $73 million from the GFIS sale proceeds. The holding company targets maintaining cash balances of at least two times its annual debt service expense. The holding company has no debt maturities until June 2014.

The company excludes net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because the company does not consider them to be related to the operating performance of the company’s segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of the company’s net investment gains (losses) is the result of impairments, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to the company’s discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders if, in the company’s opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in

13

accordance with GAAP, the company believes that net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders, including net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders per common share on a basic and diluted basis, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. However, net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders per common share on a basic and diluted basis are not substitutes for net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders or net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders per common share on a basic and diluted basis determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s definition of net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders may differ from the definitions used by other companies. There were no infrequent or unusual non-operating items excluded from net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders during the periods presented other than a $15 million after-tax gain related to the sale of our tax and accounting financial advisor unit in the second quarter of 2012. The tables at the end of this press release reflect net operating income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting guidance related to segment reporting and a reconciliation of net operating income (loss) of the company’s segments and Corporate and Other activities to net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure entitled “core yield” as a measure of investment yield. The company defines core yield as the investment yield adjusted for those items that are not recurring in nature. Management believes that analysis of core yield enhances understanding of the investment yield of the company. However, core yield as defined by the company should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP investment yield. In addition, the company’s definition of core yield may differ from the definitions used by other companies. A reconciliation of core yield to reported GAAP yield is included in a table at the end of this press release.

Definition of Selected Operating Performance Measures

The company reports selected operating performance measures including “sales,” “assets under management” and “insurance in force” or “risk in force” which are commonly used in the insurance and investment industries as measures of operating performance.

Management regularly monitors and reports sales metrics as a measure of volume of new and renewal business generated in a period. Sales refer to: (1) annualized first-year premiums for term life and long term care insurance; (2) annualized first-year deposits plus five percent of excess deposits for universal and term universal life insurance products; (3) 10 percent of premium deposits for linked-benefits products; (4) new and

14

additional premiums/deposits for fixed annuities; (5) gross flows and net flows, which represent gross flows less redemptions, for the wealth management business; (6) written premiums and deposits, gross of ceded reinsurance and cancellations, and premium equivalents, where the company earns a fee for administrative services only business, for the lifestyle protection insurance business; and (7) new insurance written for mortgage insurance. Sales do not include renewal premiums on policies or contracts written during prior periods. The company considers annualized first-year premiums, premium equivalents, new premiums/deposits, gross and net flows, written premiums and new insurance written to be a measure of the company’s operating performance because they represent a measure of new sales of insurance policies or contracts during a specified period, rather than a measure of the company’s revenues or profitability during that period.

This press release also includes the metric entitled “underwriting margin” related to the lifestyle protection business. The company defines underwriting margin as underwriting profit divided by net earned premiums. Underwriting profit is defined as premiums less benefits and other changes in reserves, commissions (which include amortization of deferred acquisition costs) and profit share expenses. Management believes that this analysis of underwriting margin enhances the understanding of the lifestyle protection business.

Management regularly monitors and reports assets under management for the wealth management business, insurance in force and risk in force. Assets under management for the wealth management business represent third-party assets under management that are not consolidated in the company’s financial statements. Insurance in force for the life, international mortgage and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses is a measure of the aggregate face value of outstanding insurance policies as of the respective reporting date. For the risk in force in the international mortgage insurance business, the company has computed an “effective” risk in force amount, which recognizes that the loss on any particular loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the property. Effective risk in force has been calculated by applying to insurance in force a factor of 35 percent that represents the highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of the company’s businesses in Canada and Australia. Risk in force for the U.S. mortgage insurance business is the obligation that is limited under contractual terms to the amounts less than 100 percent of the mortgage loan value. The company considers assets under management for the wealth management business, insurance in force and risk in force to be a measure of the company’s operating performance because they represent a measure of the size of the business at a specific date which will generate revenues and profits in a future period, rather than a measure of the company’s revenues or profitability during that period.

This press release also includes information related to loss mitigation activities for the U.S. mortgage insurance business. The company defines loss mitigation activities as rescissions, cancellations, borrower loan modifications, repayment plans, lender- and borrower-titled presales, claims administration and other loan

15

workouts. Estimated savings related to rescissions are the reduction in carried loss reserves, net of premium refunds and reinstatement of prior rescissions. Estimated savings related to loan modifications and other cure related loss mitigation actions represent the reduction in carried loss reserves. For non-cure related actions, including presales, the estimated savings represent the difference between the full claim obligation and the actual amount paid. The company believes that this information helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of the U.S. mortgage insurance business as loss mitigation activities specifically impact current and future loss reserves and level of claim payments.

These operating measures enable the company to compare its operating performance across periods without regard to revenues or profitability related to policies or contracts sold in prior periods or from investments or other sources.
