Principal Financial Group^® (Nasdaq: PFG) announced results for second quarter 2021.

• Net income attributable to PFG for second quarter 2021 of $361.8 million, compared to $398.3 million for second quarter 2020. Net income per diluted share of $1.32 for second quarter 2021 compared to $1.45 in the prior year quarter.

The dividend will be payable on Sept. 24, 2021, to shareholders of record as of Sept. 1, 2021.

“Second quarter results were strong, driven by continued execution of our long-term strategy and improving macroeconomic conditions across many of our businesses,” said Dan Houston, chairman, president, and CEO of Principal^®. “We delivered $467 million of non-GAAP operating earnings in the second quarter, totaling $891 million year-to-date, which is 23% percent higher than the first half of 2020. Second quarter results were led by strong performance in our global asset management business, the successful integration of the retirement business from the Institutional Retirement and Trust acquisition, and encouraging fundamentals in many of our businesses as COVID-19 impacts continue to lessen.”

“During our 2021 investor day, we announced changes to our business portfolio and capital management strategy to drive future growth, reduce capital intensity, sharpen our strategic focus, and reinforce our commitment to returning more capital to shareholders as we continue to create long-term shareholder value," said Houston. “In the first half of the year, we’ve returned over $683 million to shareholders including $266 million of share repurchases in second quarter. Additionally, we announced a 2 cent, or 3%, increase in our third quarter common stock dividend over second quarter 2021. Between 2021 and 2022, excluding proceeds from any transactions, we anticipate deploying approximately $3 billion to shareholders.”

Use of Non-GAAP financial measures

The company uses a number of non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful to investors because they illustrate the performance of normal, ongoing operations, which is important in understanding and evaluating the company’s financial condition and results of operations. They are not, however, a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial measures. Therefore, the company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure at the end of the release. The company adjusts U.S. GAAP measures for items not directly related to ongoing operations. However, it is possible these adjusting items have occurred in the past and could recur in future reporting periods. Management also uses non-GAAP measures for goal setting, as a basis for determining employee and senior management awards and compensation and evaluating performance on a basis comparable to that used by investors and securities analysts.

*U.S. GAAP (GAAP) net income attributable to PFG versus non-GAAP operating earnings

Management uses non-GAAP operating earnings, which is a financial measure that excludes the effect of net realized capital gains and losses, as adjusted, and other after-tax adjustments the company believes are not indicative of overall operating trends, for goal setting, as a basis for determining employee and senior management awards and compensation, and evaluating performance on a basis comparable to that used by investors and securities analysts. Note: it is possible these adjusting items have occurred in the past and could recur in future reporting periods. While these items may be significant components in understanding and assessing our consolidated financial performance, management believes the presentation of non-GAAP operating earnings enhances the understanding of results of operations by highlighting earnings attributable to the normal, ongoing operations of the company’s businesses.

________________________________

1 Use of non-GAAP financial measures is discussed in this release after segment results. Non-GAAP operating earnings for total company is after tax.

2 Pre-tax return on operating revenues less pass-through expenses = pre-tax operating earnings, adjusted for noncontrolling interest divided by operating revenues less pass-through expenses.

3 Represents the percentage of Principal actively managed mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), insurance separate accounts, and collective investment trusts (CITs) in the top two Morningstar quartiles. Excludes Money Market, Stable Value, Liability Driven Investment, Hedge Fund Separate Account and US Property Separate Account.

4 Pre-tax operating earnings = operating earnings before income taxes and after noncontrolling interest.

5 Net revenue = operating revenues less benefits, claims and settlement expenses less dividends to policyholders.

6 Pre-tax return on net revenue = pre-tax operating earnings divided by net revenue.

7 The company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures at the end of the release. The company has determined this measure is more representative of underlying operating revenues growth for PGI as it removes commissions and other expenses that are collected through fee revenue and passed through expenses with no impact to pre-tax operating earnings.

8 Combined net revenue (a non-GAAP financial measure): net revenue for all PI companies at 100% less pass-through commissions. The company has determined combined net revenue (at PFG share) is more representative of underlying net revenue growth for PI as it reflects our proportionate share of consolidated and equity method subsidiaries. In addition, using this net revenue metric provides a more meaningful representation of our profit margins.

9 Premium and fees = premiums and other considerations plus fees and other revenues. Pre-tax return on premium and fees = pre-tax operating earnings divided by premium and fees.
