"Genworth delivered strong operating performance in the third quarter, driven by outstanding top line and bottom line results in our U.S. mortgage insurance business," said Tom McInerney, President and CEO of Genworth. "While the economic environment remains unpredictable because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are confident that we are taking the right steps to enhance liquidity, position our businesses to navigate continued uncertainty and maximize shareholder value. In addition to pursuing the closing of the Oceanwide transaction, we are also making progress against our strategic priorities which include addressing our near-term debt obligations, strengthening our balance sheet and executing our LTC multi-year rate action plan, which remains critical to stabilizing our U.S. life insurance businesses."
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and impact Genworth's businesses in a number of ways. In the current quarter, the company saw sequential improvement in unemployment trends, lower levels of new delinquencies relative to the second quarter and a robust mortgage origination market, which benefited the U.S. MI business. Mortality remained elevated relative to last year, which had a mixed impact on the LTC and life insurance businesses. While uncertainty remains high, the company is continuing to operate effectively, and its mortgage insurance businesses are maintaining strong capital positions to ensure the businesses are resilient across a wide range of scenarios.
Strategic Update
On October 1, Genworth and Oceanwide announced they agreed to extend the merger agreement deadline to not later than November 30, 2020 to provide Oceanwide with additional time to finalize the funding plan for the transaction, which was delayed due to challenges presented by the global pandemic.
On November 2, the company announced that Oceanwide has made significant progress on the Hony Capital funding and has provided satisfactory documentation to Genworth indicating that Hony Capital expects to be able to finalize the
The parties are hopeful that Oceanwide's transaction funding will be completed in time to close the transaction by November 30, without the need for an additional extension.
"I am very pleased with Oceanwide's excellent progress since our last update," said Tom McInerney, President and CEO of Genworth. "They have made significant strides to finalize the financing with Hony Capital, and to update the filings required to close the transaction. Based on this progress, we are hopeful we will be able to close the transaction by November 30 and deliver the best value to our shareholders."
LU Zhiqiang, chairman of Oceanwide, continued, "The Oceanwide team and I are working to finalize the remaining steps of the transaction process as quickly as possible. The acquisition of Genworth remains a strategically important priority for Oceanwide, and we remain committed to finalizing the funding plan for the transaction with the goal of closing the transaction by November 30."
The transaction has now received all U.S. regulatory approvals needed to close the transaction, subject to confirmation from the Delaware Department of Insurance that the acquisition of Genworth's Delaware-domiciled insurer may proceed under the existing approval. With respect to recent regulatory matters: the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has confirmed that the transaction may close under FINRA Rule 1017(c) prior to receiving its final approval; the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) recently re-approved the transaction, subject to certain conditions; and the North Carolina Department of Insurance extended its previously-granted approval through January 24, 2021. Oceanwide needs to receive clearance for currency conversion and transfer of funds from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and the NDRC needs to confirm the extension of the acceptance of filing with respect to the transaction, as its prior acceptance of filing has expired. All other required approvals and clearances have been secured.

Genworth's effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the quarter was approximately 25.6 percent. The effective tax rate was above 21 percent due to 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.

Key Points
- U.S. MI's PMIERs11 sufficiency ratio is estimated to be 132 percent,
$1,074 million above published PMIERs requirements, which does not take into consideration the impact of restrictions recently imposed by the GSEs12. The PMIERs sufficiency ratio was down 11 points, or approximately$200 million , sequentially, driven in part by elevated NIW, partially offset by elevated lapse from prevailing low interest rates in the current quarter. Additionally, elevated lapses drove an acceleration of the amortization on existing reinsurance transactions, which caused a reduction in PMIERs capital credit in the current quarter; - Both the current quarter and prior quarter PMIERs sufficiency benefited from a 0.30 multiplier applied to the risk based required asset factor for certain non-performing loans, which resulted in a reduction of the published PMIERs required assets by an estimated
$1,217 million at the end of the quarter, compared to$1,057 million at the end of the second quarter; - On October 22, 2020, U.S. MI completed an insurance linked note transaction, which will add
$350 million of additional PMIERs capital credit in the fourth quarter of 2020. Had the recently completed transaction occurred in the third quarter of 2020, U.S. MI's current quarter PMIERs sufficiency would have been$1,424 million or 147 percent above the published PMIERs requirements; - Australia MI's PCA ratio is estimated to be 179 percent, above the company's target operating range of 132 to 144 percent. The PCA ratio was up two points sequentially;
- Subsequent to the third quarter of 2020, Australia MI redeemed the remainder of its AUD
$48 million of Tier 2 debt due July 2025 and has AUD$190 million in Tier 2 subordinated notes remaining due July 2030; - U.S. life insurance companies' consolidated statutory risk-based capital is estimated to be 240 percent, which is up from the prior quarter primarily from strong statutory income in the quarter driven by LTC results and favorable equity market impacts on variable annuities; and
- The holding company ended the quarter with
$814 million of cash and liquid assets, including$74 million that is restricted, which is above the company's target. During the third quarter, the holding company received a$436 million dividend from U.S. MI from the GMHI debt offering of$750 million . Additionally, the holding company repurchased$18 million of its 2021 bonds.

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
During the second quarter of 2020, the company repurchased
The company recorded a pre-tax expense of
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 September 30, 2020 and 2019, as well as for the three months ended June 30, 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.

- strategic risks in the event the proposed transaction with Oceanwide is not consummated including: the company's inability to successfully execute alternative strategic plans to effectively address its current business challenges (including with respect to stabilizing its U.S. life insurance businesses, debt and other obligations, cost savings, ratings and capital); the risk that the impacts of or uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic delay or hinder alternative transactions or otherwise make alternative plans less attractive; the company's inability to attract buyers for any businesses or other assets it may seek to sell, or securities it may seek to issue, in each case, in a timely manner and on anticipated terms; failure to obtain any required regulatory, stockholder and/or noteholder approvals or consents for such alternative strategic plans, or the company's challenges changing or being more costly or difficult to successfully address than currently anticipated or the benefits achieved being less than anticipated; inability to achieve anticipated cost-savings in a timely manner; adverse tax or accounting charges; and the company's ability to raise the capital needed in its mortgage insurance businesses in a timely manner and on anticipated terms, including through business performance, reinsurance or similar transactions, asset sales, securities offerings or otherwise, in each case as and when required;

- insurance and product-related risks including: the company's inability to increase premiums and reduce benefits sufficiently, and in a timely manner, on its in force long term care insurance policies, in each case, as currently anticipated and as may be required from time to time in the future (including as a result of a delay or failure to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, or unwillingness or inability of policyholders to pay increased premiums and/or accept reduced benefits), including to offset any negative impact on the company's long term care insurance margins; availability, affordability and adequacy of reinsurance to protect the company against losses; decreases in the volume of high loan-to-value mortgage originations or increases in mortgage insurance cancellations; increases in the use of alternatives to private mortgage insurance and reductions in the level of coverage selected; potential liabilities in connection with the company's U.S. contract underwriting services; and medical advances, such as genetic research and diagnostic imaging, and related legislation that impact policyholder behavior in ways adverse to the company;
- other risks including: impairments of or valuation allowances against the company's deferred tax assets and the occurrence of natural or man-made disasters or a pandemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could materially adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
