Thread regarding Mutual of America Life layoffs

Just the facts

This is reality regardless of what the disenchanted and haters stay.These are just the facts.

Bottom line: Under the leadership team in place since mid-2024, Mutual of America has made measurable progress—dramatically smaller losses, meaningful cost cuts, stable capital, and constructive rating-agency outlooks. It is on a recovery path and management is targeting sustained profitability in 2026. Success is not yet locked in, but the trajectory is positive and the worst of the capital erosion and large losses appears to be behind it.

SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS:

Mutual of America is showing clear signs of recovery, though it is not yet fully restored to consistent profitability.Key evidence of progress (through 2025 / early 2026)Sharply reduced operating losses: Operating losses fell from roughly $223 million in 2023 → ~$150 million in 2024 → $27.6 million in 2025. This is a major improvement driven by aggressive cost actions.

Cost reductions: In 2025 the company cut operating expenses by about $90 million (roughly 25%) through a smaller real-estate footprint, workforce optimization, and lower third-party spending.

Positive (though thin) net income: Statutory net income was positive at ~$2.4 million in 2025 (vs. large losses in prior years). Much of the positivity still came from one-time investment/real-estate gains, similar to the 2024 building-sale boost.

streetinsider.com

Balance-sheet and operating metrics: Total assets under administration rose to $27.9 billion. Client retention remained solid (assets ~91%). Management reports “significant progress,” “positive momentum,” and a clear path toward profitability, with a stated goal of reaching it in 2026.

Rating agency outlooks stabilized: Fitch affirmed BBB+ and revised the outlook to Stable (from Negative) in June 2026.

fitchratings.com

S&P lowered the rating to A- in April 2026 but assigned a Stable outlook, citing the turnaround plan focused on revenue growth and expense reduction.

spglobal.com

AM Best rates it A- (as of April 2026).

Remaining challenges Core operations are still loss-making (though the losses are now much smaller).
Statutory surplus edged down slightly in 2025 (to ~$549 million from ~$577 million at year-end 2024). The broader “Total Surplus” figure highlighted by the company was $651 million (vs. $715 million the prior year).

Business remains concentrated in nonprofit/group retirement products, with ongoing execution risk on the turnaround and potential for further regulatory reserve pressure.
Ratings are lower than historical peaks (they were higher a few years ago).

@OP Rich only went to Princeton ? No wonder we are failing. Another sl--eball from NJ or yardley PA running the company. If we had a Yale grad running things we’d be in much better shape.

HUH???

Obviously that was a typo, you can't figure that out.

Reason for BIO? Read the post is it very clear what the reason is.

As usual you are wrong and nonsensical due to your hate from your own failures.

@dm I thought KPMG was fired ? You are stating that KPMG is actually validating and verifying the actual “active” participant count numbers or allowing the company to decide who is an “active” participant ?

So funny.

You are just a hater and will be negative on everything.

It takes time to recover. First step is to cut cost and become profitable, then expansion follows. MOA is on the right path.

Secondly, it was stated before MOA may be planning to be sold, so if they become profitable it will become more appealing.

Why is everyone blaming Rich, he didn't cause the problem Greed and Festog did.

So you believe you are smarter than Rick. Below is some of his bio before MOA.

From 1991 to 1999, he was Vice President at JP Morgan Investment Management, having roles in the Large Cap Structured Equity and the Small Cap Active Management groups. From 1999 to 2001, he served as Director, Senior Portfolio Manager, at Citigroup Asset Management. In 2001, Mr. Rich rejoined JP Morgan Investment Management as Vice President, Senior Portfolio Manager, responsible for the Active Small Cap Value Group, until he joined Capital Management in 2004.Mr. Rich is a graduate of Princeton University and has an MBA from New York University’s Stern School of Business. Mr. Rich has served on the Board of Trustees of the Randall’s Island Park Alliance (RIPA).

Fake news! LMAO.

Everything is reference to the source.

What fake news specifically are you referring to.

@a9 you will also notice in the “Just the Facts” ma’am posts, that they don’t truly address the actual comments posted by others. Instead, they make their own posts, dodging the actual posts and facts by the other commentators.

Has anyone independently audited their participant counts ? How are they defining active employees ? There is only less than $1B in individual accounts. Less than 50,000 & it will become less as more and more is moved over to Matrix. It’s no longer on MoA’a platform any longer so the firm can’t counts those outside accounts at Matrix as their own. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. I’d like to see two independent audit firms audit the firm’s claims.

Bottom line is the company can cut costs but they find it nearly impossible to raise revenue. You can not cut your way to profitability. You must find raise to raise substantial revenue.

The c-Suite never has an answer for it. They dodge and can’t address it because they have no answer for it.

@OP why did you only print & cherry pick the most favorable fake news. I challenge the company to post the FULL & COMPLETE analysts reports. All 15 pages of the sobering news & not one page snippets posted by Malarki, Rich, or people in team Sucx or Admin Ops Comms

@a9

It's not anything that was written, is FACTS!!

So funny. If your an employee quit,if not why do you care.

Secondly, that is a what a reorganization is, it takes a while to recover and heal.

Even with the facts you are still angry. LMAO.

Mutual will recover in time. The reputation you are talking about is the concern with the employees that are unhappy.

As i said, FACTS ARE FACTS, they are going in the right direction. Even the rating agencies are raising their outlook.

Look for a profit this current year.

@OP Anything can be written to make the company appear to be out of the weeds or trending in the right direction. Yet what is NOT taken into account is the reputation! This is something will never be undone by the leadership at MofA or the past ten years of leadership. This will never be the company it was.
