Genworth Financial, Inc. (NYSE: GNW) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The company reported a net loss³ of $441 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020, compared with net income of $168 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019.  The company reported an adjusted operating loss⁴ of $21 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020, compared with adjusted operating income of $178 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019.

In July 2020, the company reached a settlement agreement with AXA regarding a dispute over payment protection insurance claims underwritten by the company's former lifestyle protection insurance business that was acquired by AXA in 2015. As a result, Genworth recorded an after-tax loss of $516 million for the settlement as part of discontinued operations in the current quarter.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact Genworth in the current quarter. Genworth's priority remains servicing its customers while maintaining the health and safety of all employees and their families. The company successfully transitioned to a fully remote work environment in March, and employees have continued to serve customers and policyholders effectively with minimal disruption. As cases have continued to surge in some regions of the U.S. and given the organization's seamless transition to remote operations, Genworth has decided to extend remote working conditions until at least January 1, 2021. Genworth is constantly monitoring and evaluating the impact of COVID-19 and will continue to act in the best interests of its investors and employees while effectively addressing customer needs.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related macroeconomic volatility negatively impacted the company's financial results in the quarter primarily as a result of higher unemployment, increased home borrower participation in forbearance programs and increased new delinquencies which were partly mitigated by the effects of government stimulus. These effects were partially offset by benefits from sequential equity market improvement and higher mortality in the LTC business.  

Genworth is closely monitoring macroeconomic indicators and is conducting extensive scenario planning to tailor its actions to mitigate adverse effects of the pandemic. The economic impact to U.S. MI for the remainder of 2020 is uncertain and will depend on the speed of recovery and the amount and duration of government stimulus reaching borrowers. Mortgage originations remained strong during the current quarter driven by the low interest rate environment which resulted in higher refinance origination volumes. New delinquencies increased significantly in the current quarter, peaking in the month of May consistent with forbearance trends seen earlier in the quarter. Although uncertainty remains high, as economic activity resumes and forbearance options provide borrowers with financial stability, higher new delinquencies may be mitigated by higher cure rates in the second half of 2020. In order to preserve capital in the company's mortgage insurance subsidiaries during this period of uncertainty, Genworth does not expect to receive further dividends from its mortgage insurance businesses in 2020. Additionally, in response to COVID-19, the U.S. MI business is subject to the temporary PMIERs requirement to obtain pre-approval from the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) for certain capital related transactions, including dividends. The amount and timing of dividends in 2021 will depend on a variety of factors, including the timing of economic recovery from COVID-19.

In the U.S. life insurance companies, interest rate and equity market movements are expected to continue to impact U.S. GAAP and statutory results. Results may also continue to be impacted by higher mortality, dependent on the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company continues to manage the U.S. life insurance businesses on a standalone basis with no plans to infuse or extract capital other than as committed in connection with the completion of the Oceanwide transaction.

"Genworth's leadership team and employees have shown incredible resilience and dedication to our customers, policyholders and each other during this difficult period," said Tom McInerney, President and CEO of Genworth. "While the severity and duration of the pandemic remains to be seen, we continue to plan for various scenarios to ensure we are taking the right steps to best position our businesses to navigate the impacts of the pandemic."

Strategic Update

On June 30, Genworth and Oceanwide announced they agreed to extend the merger agreement deadline to not later than September 30, 2020, which provides Oceanwide with additional time to secure funding for the transaction and receive clearance for currency conversion and transfer of funds from China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE). Oceanwide has indicated that the financing has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertain macroeconomic conditions.

"Although the closing process has been further delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Oceanwide transaction continues to represent the best strategic option for Genworth's shareholders, and benefits policyholders, customers and employees," said Tom McInerney, president and CEO of Genworth. "The fifteenth waiver and extension of the merger agreement provides both parties with the flexibility needed to navigate this uncertain environment. In order to address our near-term financial obligations including the recently announced AXA settlement, we are moving forward with steps to enhance our liquidity while working diligently towards closing the transaction."

LU Zhiqiang, chairman of Oceanwide, continued. "The acquisition of Genworth is a strategically important transaction and a priority for China Oceanwide. The financing progress has been delayed given the significant economic impacts of lock-downs associated with the global pandemic, but we remain committed to securing financing for the transaction in order to close the transaction as soon as possible."

As part of the fifteenth waiver and extension, Genworth and Oceanwide also agreed to additional interim milestones designed to provide more clarity to Genworth on Oceanwide's progress towards financing the transaction. Specifically, the fifteenth waiver includes provisions for Oceanwide to submit satisfactory evidence to Genworth by August 31, 2020 confirming that:

• Approximately $1.0 billion is available to Oceanwide from sources in Mainland China to fund the acquisition of Genworth; and
• Hony Capital and/or other acceptable third parties have committed to provide Oceanwide $1.0 billion or more from sources outside of China to fund the transaction.

Given the delay in the closing process, Genworth is moving forward with plans to address its near-term liabilities and financial obligations, which include the recently announced settlement agreement with AXA and approximately $1.0 billion of debt maturing in 2021. Genworth expects these steps to include a debt financing in the near term and taking the necessary steps to launch a 19.9 percent initial public offering of its U.S. Mortgage Insurance business, subject to market conditions, in the event the China Oceanwide transaction is terminated.

As previously announced, Genworth paid AXA £100 million, or $125 million, on July 21, 2020 (which amount is in addition to a £100 million interim cash payment Genworth made to AXA in January 2020 and expensed in the fourth quarter of 2019). In addition, Genworth issued a secured promissory note to AXA, pursuant to which Genworth will make deferred cash payments totaling approximately £317 million in two installments: the first on June 30, 2022 and the second on September 30, 2022, subject to certain prepayment obligations. Genworth has also agreed to pay a significant portion of mis-selling losses incurred by AXA from the ongoing processing of previously submitted mis-selling complaints, which losses will be added to and paid with the second installment on September 30, 2022. 

Under the terms of the settlement and the sale and purchase agreement, if AXA recovers amounts from third parties related to the mis-selling losses, including from the distributor responsible for the sale of the policies, Genworth has certain rights to share in those recoveries to recoup payments for the underlying mis-selling losses.

The net loss in the quarter included investment gains of $101 million, net of taxes and other adjustments. The investment gains were driven by sales of U.S. Treasury bonds and mark-to-market gains on limited partnerships and equity securities. Net income in the second quarter of 2019 included $35 million from investment losses, net of taxes and other adjustments.

Net investment income was $786 million in the quarter, compared to $793 million in the prior quarter and $816 million in the prior year. Net investment income was lower than the prior quarter as a result of lower income from bond calls and prepayments and an unfavorable inflation impact on U.S. Government Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) in the quarter compared to favorable inflation in the prior quarter, partially offset by higher income from limited partnerships. Net investment income was lower than the prior year due to unfavorable inflation impact of TIPS in the quarter compared to favorable inflation in the prior year. The reported yield and the core yield⁴ for the quarter were 4.65 percent and 4.59 percent, respectively, compared to 4.71 percent and 4.57 percent, respectively, in the prior quarter.

Genworth's effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the quarter was approximately 31.1 percent. The effective tax rate was increased from the tax effect of forward starting swap gains settled prior to the change in the corporate tax rate under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which continue to be tax effected at 35 percent as they are amortized into net investment income, as well as by the higher tax expense related to foreign operations and nondeductible goodwill. The effective tax rate on the loss from discontinued operations for the quarter was 21 percent.

Adjusted operating income (loss) results by business line are summarized in the table below:

Adjusted operating income (loss) represents income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions, restructuring costs and other adjustments, net of taxes. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted operating income (loss) is included at the end of this press release.

Loss ratio					94 %			8 %			—   %

U.S. MI reported an adjusted operating loss of $3 million, compared with adjusted operating income of $148 million in the prior quarter and $147 million in the prior year. U.S. MI's flow insurance in force increased 16 percent versus the prior year from strong NIW, driving continued growth in earned premiums. Flow NIW increased 59 percent from the prior quarter due to higher purchase and refinance originations and was up 80 percent versus the prior year primarily driven by higher refinance originations, a larger private mortgage insurance market and higher estimated market share. Flow insurance in force growth from NIW was partially offset by low persistency, which was 60 percent for the quarter, down from 76 percent in the prior quarter and 82 percent in the prior year. The growth in earned premiums versus the prior quarter and prior year was also driven by increased single premium policy cancellations from lower persistency and higher mortgage refinancing activity, partially offset by lower average premium rates and higher ceded premiums associated with the company's credit risk transfer program.

U.S. MI losses of $228 million and loss ratio of 94 percent were up from both the prior year and sequentially driven by an increase in new delinquencies from the COVID-19 pandemic. Total flow delinquencies increased from 15,246 to 53,372 sequentially driven by 48,249 new delinquencies in the quarter, of which 87 percent are subject to a forbearance plan and may cure at an elevated rate. New delinquencies contributed $170 million of loss expense in the quarter, and in addition, losses included approximately $28 million of incremental loss expense associated with incurred but not reported (IBNR) delinquencies. U.S. MI also strengthened reserves on existing delinquencies by $28 million, primarily due to the deterioration of early cure emergence patterns impacting the frequency of claim, along with a modest increase in the estimated claim severity.

Australia MI reported adjusted operating income of $1 million, down from $9 million in the prior quarter and $13 million in the prior year primarily from lower earned premiums and higher losses in the current quarter. Australia MI flow NIW increased 15 percent sequentially and increased 32 percent versus the prior year due to higher mortgage origination volume with continued low interest rates and improving consumer confidence. Through the second quarter, over 48,000 of Australia MI's insured loans, or 4% of its insured loans in force, were enrolled in a payment deferral or payment holiday program. Under regulatory guidance, these loans, unless previously delinquent, are reported as current. The business strengthened its loss reserve by $18 million in the current quarter, including IBNR reserving for the loan payment deferrals, to reflect anticipated economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The loss ratio in the quarter was 63 percent, up 29 points both sequentially and versus prior year primarily due to the increases in loss reserves.

Long Term Care Insurance

Long term care insurance reported adjusted operating income of $48 million, compared with $1 million in the prior quarter and $37 million in the prior year. Mortality in the current quarter was higher compared to the prior quarter and prior year, impacting active claims, pending claims and active policies. Although it is not the company's practice to track cause of death for LTC policyholders and claimants, current quarter LTC results were likely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of the significant decrease in LTC new claim incidence the company has experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, IBNR claim reserves were strengthened $37 million in the current quarter, reflecting the assumption that incidence during the quarter was temporarily delayed. The IBNR reserve strengthening partially offset the continued favorable development on IBNR claims. Premiums from in force rate actions were higher than the prior quarter and prior year, partially offset by less favorable impacts from benefit reductions.

Life Insurance

Life insurance reported an adjusted operating loss of $81 million, compared with an adjusted operating loss of $77 million in the prior quarter and adjusted operating income of $10 million in the prior year. Results reflected higher amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) compared to the prior year, primarily associated with higher lapses from the large 20-year level-premium term life insurance block entering its post-level premium period. Results also reflected reserve increases during the premium grace period in the 10-year term universal life insurance block associated with policies entering the post-level premium period that were higher than the prior year and lower than the prior quarter. Universal life mortality was higher compared to the prior quarter and prior year, attributable in part to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior year results included a reinsurance correction and a refinement resulting in a net favorable after-tax impact of $17 million.

Fixed Annuities

Fixed annuities reported adjusted operating income of $28 million, compared with $6 million in the prior quarter and $19 million in the prior year. Results versus the prior quarter and prior year reflected favorable reserve changes and DAC amortization due to the favorable equity market changes and higher mortality in the single premium immediate annuity product. Results versus the prior year also reflected lower net spreads and DAC amortization reflecting higher lapses. Results in the prior year included unfavorable after-tax charges of $4 million from loss recognition testing on the single premium immediate annuity block.

Runoff

Runoff reported adjusted operating income of $24 million, compared with an adjusted operating loss of $13 million in the prior quarter and adjusted operating income of $9 million in the prior year. Results in the current quarter reflected impacts in the company's variable annuity business from favorable equity market performance compared to the prior quarter and prior year.

Corporate And Other

Corporate and Other reported an adjusted operating loss of $38 million, compared with $41 million in the prior quarter and $57 million in the prior year. Operating expenses in the current quarter were favorable compared to the prior quarter and prior year primarily from lower corporate spending. Additionally, results in the current quarter and prior quarter reflected lower interest expense compared to the prior year from the early redemption of Genworth Holdings, Inc.'s June 2020 senior notes in January 2020.

Key Points

• U.S. MI's PMIERs sufficiency ratio is estimated to be 143 percent, $1,275 million above requirements. The PMIERs sufficiency ratio was up one percent, or $104 million sequentially, with improvement driven primarily from business cash flows, elevated lapse of existing business and an increase in reinsurance credit, partially offset by incremental new delinquencies and capital consumed by NIW. Both the current quarter and prior quarter ratios benefited from a 0.30 multiplier applied to the risk based required asset factor for loans, pursuant to recently announced GSE PMIERs guidance, which resulted in a reduction of PMIERs required assets by an estimated $1,057 million at the end of the quarter;
• In the current quarter, U.S. MI executed an aggregate excess of loss reinsurance transaction which provided up to $300 million of reinsurance coverage on the 2009-2019 book years to provide PMIERs capital credit for elevated delinquencies as a result of COVID-19. The PMIERs sufficiency in the current quarter included approximately $180 million of capital credit in respect of this transaction. Combined with the other outstanding credit risk transfer transactions, including the insurance linked note, the credit risk transfer program provided an aggregate of approximately $1.0 billion of PMIERs capital credit as of June 30, 2020;
• Australia MI's PCA ratio is estimated to be 177 percent, above the company's target operating range of 132 to 144 percent. The PCA ratio was down one point sequentially;
• Subsequent to quarter end, Australia MI executed a series of Tier 2 debt transactions that extended favorable regulatory capital credit;
• U.S. life insurance companies' consolidated statutory risk-based capital is estimated to be 220%, up from the prior quarter primarily due to statutory income on LTC from favorable mortality and favorable equity market impacts on variable annuities during the current quarter; and
• The holding company ended the quarter with $554 million of cash and liquid assets, including $59 million that is restricted, which is above the company's target of two times expected annual debt interest payments excluding restricted cash and liquid assets. During the second quarter, the holding company repurchased $52 million of its 2021 maturities at a $4 million discount. Subsequent to quarter end, the company made a £100 million payment ($125 million) to AXA related to the settlement agreement on July 21, 2020.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures entitled "adjusted operating income (loss)" and "adjusted operating income (loss) per share." Adjusted operating income (loss) per share is derived from adjusted operating income (loss). The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of adjusted operating income (loss). The company defines adjusted operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Gains (losses) on insurance block transactions are defined as gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of non-recourse funding obligations, early termination fees for other financing restructuring and/or resulting gains (losses) on reinsurance restructuring for certain blocks of business. 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 estimated future credit losses, 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. Goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions and restructuring costs are also excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) because, in the company's opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. Infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from adjusted 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) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.'s common stockholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the company believes that adjusted operating income (loss) and measures that are derived from or incorporate adjusted operating income (loss), including adjusted operating income (loss) per 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. Management also uses adjusted operating income (loss) as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. However, the items excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) have occurred in the past and could, and in some cases will, recur in the future. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) per 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 share on a basic and diluted basis determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the company's definition of adjusted operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.'s common stockholders to adjusted operating income (loss) assume a 21 percent tax rate for the company's domestic segments and a 30 percent tax rate for its Australia Mortgage Insurance segment and are net of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net investment gains (losses) are also adjusted for DAC and other intangible amortization and certain benefit reserves.

In the second quarter of 2020, the company recorded a goodwill impairment of $3 million, net of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests, in its Australia mortgage insurance business.

During the second and first quarters of 2020, the company repurchased $52 million and $14 million, respectively, principal amount of Genworth Holdings, Inc.'s (Genworth Holdings) senior notes with 2021 maturity dates for a pre-tax gain of $3 million and $1 million, respectively. In January 2020, the company paid a pre-tax make-whole expense of $9 million related to the early redemption of Genworth Holdings' senior notes originally scheduled to mature in June 2020 and Rivermont Life Insurance Company I, the company's indirect wholly-owned special purpose consolidated captive insurance subsidiary, early redeemed all of its $315 million outstanding non-recourse funding obligations originally due in 2050 resulting in a pre-tax loss of $4 million from the write-off of deferred borrowing costs. These transactions were excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) as they relate to gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt.

The company recorded a pre-tax expense of $1 million in both the second and first quarters of 2020 related to restructuring costs as it continues to evaluate and appropriately size its organizational needs and expenses. There were no infrequent or unusual items excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) during the periods presented.

The tables at the end of this press release provide a reconciliation of net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.'s common stockholders to adjusted operating income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, as well as for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and reflect adjusted operating income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting guidance related to segment reporting.

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 items that do not reflect the underlying performance of the investment portfolio. Management believes that analysis of core yield enhances understanding of the investment yield of the company. However, core yield is not a substitute for investment yield determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the company's definition of core yield may differ from the definitions used by other companies. A reconciliation of reported U.S. GAAP yield to core yield is included in a table at the end of this press release.

Definition of Selected Operating Performance Measures

The company taxes its international businesses at their local jurisdictional tax rates and its domestic businesses at the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate of 21 percent. The company's segment tax methodology applies the respective jurisdictional or domestic tax rate to the pre-tax income (loss) of each segment, which is then adjusted in each segment to reflect the tax attributes of items unique to that segment such as foreign withholding taxes and permanent differences between U.S. GAAP and local tax law. The difference between the consolidated provision for income taxes and the sum of the provision for income taxes in each segment is reflected in Corporate and Other activities.

The annually-determined tax rates and adjustments to each segment's provision for income taxes are estimates which are subject to review and could change from year to year.

The company reports selected operating performance measures including "sales" and "insurance in force" or "risk in force" which are commonly used in the insurance industry as measures of operating performance.

Management regularly monitors and reports sales metrics as a measure of volume of new business generated in a period. Sales refer to new insurance written for mortgage insurance products. The company considers new insurance written to be a measure of the company's operating performance because it represents a measure of new sales of insurance policies during a specified period, rather than a measure of the company's revenues or profitability during that period.

Management regularly monitors and reports insurance in force and risk in force. Insurance in force for the company's mortgage insurance businesses is a measure of the aggregate original loan balance for outstanding insurance policies as of the respective reporting date. Risk in force for the company's U.S. mortgage insurance business is based on the coverage percentage applied to the estimated current outstanding loan balance. Risk in force in the Australia mortgage insurance business is computed using 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 mortgage insurance business in Australia. The company also has certain risk share arrangements in Australia where it provides pro-rata coverage of certain loans rather than 100 percent coverage. As a result, for loans with these risk share arrangements, the applicable pro-rata coverage amount provided is used when applying the factor. The company considers insurance in force and risk in force to be measures of its operating performance because they represent measures of the size of its business at a specific date which will generate revenues and profits in a future period, rather than measures of its revenues or profitability during that period.

Management also regularly monitors and reports a loss ratio for the company's businesses. For the mortgage insurance businesses, the loss ratio is the ratio of benefits and other changes in policy reserves to net earned premiums. For the long term care insurance business, the loss ratio is the ratio of benefits and other changes in reserves less tabular interest on reserves less loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The company considers the loss ratio to be a measure of underwriting performance in these businesses and helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of the businesses.

These operating performance 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 economic, market and political conditions including: downturns and volatility in global economies and equity and credit markets, including as a result of prolonged unemployment, a sustained low interest rate environment and other displacements caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; interest rates and changes in rates have adversely impacted, and may continue to materially adversely impact, the company's business and profitability; deterioration in economic conditions or a decline in home prices that adversely affect the company's loss experience in mortgage insurance; political and economic instability or changes in government policies; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and international securities markets;

⁷ The PMIERs sufficiency ratio is calculated as available assets divided by required assets as defined within PMIERs. The current period PMIERs sufficiency ratio is an estimate due to the timing of the PMIERs filing for the U.S. mortgage insurance business. As of June 30, 2020, March 31, 2020, and June 30, 2019, the PMIERs sufficiency ratios were in excess of $1.2 billion, $1.1 billion and $0.65 billion, respectively, of available assets above the applicable PMIERs requirements.

Genworth Holdings, Inc. also held $50 million, $50 million and $45 million in U.S. government securities as of June 30, 2020, March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, which included $49 million, $50 million and $42 million, respectively, of restricted assets.
¹⁰ Under applicable accounting guidance, companies in a loss position are required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share. Therefore, as a result of the loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the company was required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as the inclusion of shares for stock options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights of 5.4 million would have been antidilutive to the calculation. If the company had not incurred a loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, dilutive potential weighted-average common shares outstanding would have been 509.7 million.
¹¹ For the three months ended June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020, net investment (gains) losses were adjusted for DAC and other intangible amortization and certain benefit reserves of $(4) million, $(3) million and $(11) million, respectively, and adjusted for net investment gains (losses) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $32 million, $— million and $(26) million, respectively.
