Third quarter results reflected net investment losses of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, requires that tax benefits be recorded during the year in proportion to pre-tax income. As a result, tax benefits on operating income that would otherwise have been recognized earlier in the year are recognized in the third quarter, and the operating effective tax rate was nearly eight percent in the quarter and 26 percent year to date. On a full year basis, Genworth's effective tax rate on operating income is expected to be between 23 percent and 25 percent. "This was a disappointing quarter for the company, which was compounded by
the ongoing turmoil in the credit, equity and housing markets," said Strategic Highlights: -- Genworth is managing its liquidity profile effectively, and currently

global financial security company. Genworth has more than Conference Calls and Financial Supplement Information This press release and the Third Quarter 2008 Financial Supplement are now posted on the company's website. Investors are encouraged to review all of these materials. Genworth will conduct a conference call on The webcast will be archived on the company's website and a replay of the
call will be available at 800 406.7325 or 303 590.3030 (outside the U.S.)
passcode 3939696#. The replay will be available through Use of Non-GAAP Measures This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure entitled "net
operating income (loss)." The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment
performance and allocates resources on the basis of net operating income
(loss). The company defines net operating income (loss) as income (loss) from
continuing operations excluding after-tax net investment gains (losses) and
other adjustments and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. This metric
excludes these items because the company does not consider them to be related
to the operating performance of its segments and Corporate and Other
activities. A significant component of the net investment gains (losses) is
the result of impairments, including changes in intent to hold securities to
recovery and credit-related gains and losses, the timing of which can vary
significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and
timing of other investment gains (losses) are often subject to Genworth'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) 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) in accordance
with GAAP, the company believes that net operating income (loss), and measures
that are derived from or incorporate net operating income (loss), 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) is not viewed as a substitute for GAAP
net income (loss). In addition, the company's definition of net operating
income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies. There
were no infrequent or unusual non-operating items excluded from net operating
income (loss) during the periods presented in this press release. The tables
at the end of this press release reflect net operating income (loss) as
determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.

Definition of Selected Operating Performance Measures Management regularly monitors and reports a production volume metric referred to as "sales," which is a measure commonly used in the insurance industry as a measure of volume of new and renewal business generated in a period. "Sales" refers to (1) annualized first-year premiums for term life insurance, long term care insurance and Medicare supplement insurance; (2) new and additional premiums/deposits for universal life insurance, linked- benefits, spread-based and variable products; (3) gross and net flows for the wealth management business which represent gross flows less redemptions; (4) written premiums and deposits, gross of ceded reinsurance and cancellations, and premium equivalents, where we earn a fee for administrative services only business, for lifestyle protection insurance; (5) new insurance written for mortgage insurance, which in each case reflects the amount of business the company generated during each period presented; and (6) written premiums, net of cancellations, for the Mexican insurance operations. Sales do not include renewal premiums on policies or contracts written during prior periods. The company considers annualized first-year premiums, new premiums/deposits, gross and net flows, written premiums, premium equivalents and new insurance written to be measures of the company's operating performance because they represent measures of new sales of insurance policies or contracts during a specified period, rather than measures of the company's revenues or profitability during that period. 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 financial statements. Insurance in-force for the life insurance, international mortgage insurance and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses is a measure of the aggregate face value of outstanding insurance policies as of the respective reporting date. Risk in-force for the international and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses is a measure that recognizes that the loss on any particular mortgage loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the underlying property. The company considers assets under management for its wealth management business, insurance in-force and risk in-force to be measures of the company's operating performance because they represent measures of the size of the business at a specific date, rather than measures of the company's revenues or profitability during that period. 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.

-- Risks relating to the company's common stock, including the suspension
