In addition to the particular regulations restricting dividend payments and establishing subsidiary capitalization requirements, we take into account the overall health of the business, capital levels and risk management considerations in determining a strategy for payments to our parent holding company from our subsidiaries, and in deciding to use cash to make capital contributions to our subsidiaries.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the parent holding company received cash dividends or a return of capital from its subsidiaries of $2.8 billion (including $425 million from RiverSource Life, $505 million from Ameriprise Bank and $1.2 billion from AMPF Holding, LLC) and contributed cash to its subsidiaries of $300 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the parent holding company received cash dividends or a return of capital from its subsidiaries of $2.9 billion (including $450 million from Ameriprise Bank, $500 million from RiverSource Life and $1.3 billion from AMPF Holding, LLC) and contributed cash to its subsidiaries of $230 million.

In 2009, RiverSource Life established an agreement to protect its exposure to Genworth Life Insurance Company (“GLIC”) for its reinsured LTC. In 2016, substantial enhancements to this reinsurance protection agreement were finalized. The terms of these confidential provisions within the agreement have been shared, in the normal course of regular reviews, with our domiciliary regulator and rating agencies. GLIC is domiciled in Delaware, so in the event GLIC were subjected to rehabilitation or insolvency proceedings, such proceedings would be located in (and governed by) Delaware laws. Delaware courts have a long tradition of respecting commercial and reinsurance affairs, as well as contracts among sophisticated parties. Similar credit protections to what we have with GLIC have been tested and respected in Delaware and elsewhere in the United States, and as a result we believe our credit protections would be respected even in the unlikely event that GLIC becomes subject to rehabilitation or insolvency proceedings in Delaware. Accordingly, while no credit protections are perfect, we believe the correct way to think about the risks represented by our counterparty credit exposure to GLIC is not the full amount of the gross liability that GLIC reinsures, but a much smaller net exposure to GLIC (if any that might exist after taking into account our credit protections). Thus, management believes that our agreement and offsetting non-LTC legacy arrangements with GLIC will enable RiverSource Life to recover on all net exposure in all material respects in the event of a rehabilitation or insolvency of GLIC.

Dividends Paid to Shareholders and Share Repurchases

We paid regular quarterly dividends to our shareholders totaling $465 million and $461 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. On October 29, 2026, we announced a quarterly dividend of $1.70 per common share. The dividend will be paid on November 27, 2026 to our shareholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2026.

Index

On April 22, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized $4.5 billion for the repurchase of our common stock through June 30, 2027. As of September 30, 2026, we had $185 million remaining under this share repurchase authorization. On September 29, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $5.5 billion for the repurchase of our common stock through September 30, 2028. We intend to fund share repurchases through existing excess capital, future free cash flow generation and other customary financing methods. The share repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares, and depending on market conditions and other factors, these purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without prior notice. Acquisitions under the share repurchase program may be made in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or block trades or other means. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repurchased a total of 4.9 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $494.78 per share.

Cash Flows

Cash flows of CIEs and restricted and segregated cash and cash equivalents are reflected in our cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Cash held by CIEs is not available for general use by Ameriprise Financial, nor is Ameriprise Financial cash available for general use by its CIEs. Cash and cash equivalents segregated under federal and other regulations is held for the exclusive benefit of our brokerage customers and is not available for general use by Ameriprise Financial.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $838 million to $4.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $5.7 billion for the prior year period primarily reflecting a decrease in cash collateral received from derivative counterparties as they increased use of securities collateral.

Our investing activities primarily relate to our Available-for-Sale investment portfolio and are significantly affected by the net flows supporting our bank deposit, structured variable annuity, insurance and certificate products.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $65 million for the prior year period. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is driven by an increase of $2.1 billion in net cash outflows related to maturities, sales and purchases of Available-for-Sale securities.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $886 million to $3.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $4.3 billion for the prior year period. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities primarily reflects a $1.5 billion decrease in net cash outflows from investment certificates partially offset by a $556 million increase in common share repurchases.
