See ‘Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures’ below

In the third quarter, consolidated net premiums totaled $2.8 billion, an increase of 1% over last year’s third quarter, with a favorable net foreign currency effect of $11 million. Compared with the year-ago period, excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, investment income decreased 16%, and the average investment yield decreased from 4.83% in the prior year to 3.66% due to lower variable investment income and an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

The effective tax rate this quarter was 25.5% on pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 20.4% on pre-tax adjusted operating income for the quarter, below the expected range of 23% to 24% due to the release of valuation allowances, bases differences in foreign jurisdictions and favorable adjustments from tax returns filed.

Anna Manning, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased with our third quarter results and we continue to be proud of the resilience of our business in this challenging environment. While we experienced a material level of COVID-19 claims, the impact was manageable, and many of our segments reported strong results. Excluding COVID-19 claim costs, our U.S. individual mortality performance was very favorable in the quarter driven by positive large claims volatility.

“Estimated COVID-19 individual mortality claim costs in the U.S. were $100 million, at the low end of our range, while COVID-19 claim costs elsewhere totaled $40 million. This was partially offset by an estimated $30 million of favorable longevity experience, which is believed to be COVID-19 related.

“Our balance sheet remains strong, and we ended the quarter with excess capital of approximately $1.5 billion. While there remains uncertainty as to the ongoing and ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our business, we believe that our strong financial condition and global business platform position us to successfully manage through this period.”

SEGMENT RESULTS

Traditional

The U.S. and Latin America Traditional segment reported pre-tax income of $14 million, compared with $113 million in the third quarter of 2019. Pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $22 million, compared with $123 million the year before. Results reflected estimated individual mortality COVID-19 claim costs of $100 million, very favorable large claims experience partially offset by elevated frequency of non-large claims, as well as lower variable investment income.

Traditional net premiums increased 1% from last year’s third quarter to $1,420 million.

Financial Solutions

The Asset-Intensive business reported pre-tax income of $50 million, compared with pre-tax income of $100 million last year. Third quarter pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $77 million, compared with $65 million a year ago. The current-year period results reflected favorable investment spreads and equity markets.

The Capital Solutions business reported pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income of $24 million, an increase from $19 million the year before due to new business.

Canada

Traditional

The Canada Traditional segment reported pre-tax income of $30 million, compared with $43 million the year before. Pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $29 million, compared with $44 million a year ago. The current period reflected modestly unfavorable claims experience, primarily due to the impact from COVID-19, while the year-ago period reflected favorable individual mortality experience. Foreign currency exchange rates had an immaterial effect on pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income.

Reported net premiums totaled $254 million for the quarter, a 6% decrease from the year-ago period due to the non-recurrence of a one-time premium on an existing treaty in 2019. Foreign currency exchange rates adversely affected net premiums by $2 million.

Financial Solutions

The Canada Financial Solutions business segment, which consists of longevity and fee-based transactions, reported third quarter pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income of $6 million, up $3 million from a year ago due to more favorable longevity experience and increased fees.

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)

Traditional

The EMEA Traditional segment reported pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income of $7 million, compared with $25 million the year before.

Pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $86 million, compared with $59 million in the year-ago period. Both periods were above expectations, with the current quarter reflecting favorable longevity experience, the majority of which is believed to be COVID-19 related. Net foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable effect of $4 million on pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income.

Asia Pacific

Traditional

The Asia Pacific Traditional segment’s pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $78 million, compared with $22 million in the prior-year period. The current-period results in Asia reflected very favorable overall experience, and Australia had a modest profit. Net foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable effect of $1 million on pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income.

Reported net premiums totaled $653 million, down slightly from the prior-year period. Foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable effect of $6 million on net premiums.

Financial Solutions

The Asia Pacific Financial Solutions business segment, which consists of asset-intensive and fee-based transactions, reported third quarter pre-tax income of $10 million, compared with $2 million in the prior-year period. Pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $9 million, compared with $5 million the year before, attributable to growth of existing business in Asia. Net foreign currency fluctuations had an immaterial effect on pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income.

Reported net premiums totaled $35 million, up 17% from the year-ago period, due to the addition of new business over the last year. Foreign currency exchange rates had an immaterial effect on net premiums.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment’s pre-tax losses for the third quarter totaled $26 million, compared with pre-tax losses of $41 million the year before. Pre-tax adjusted operating losses totaled $37 million, compared with pre-tax adjusted operating losses of $30 million in the prior-year period. The current-period loss was more than the average expected run rate, primarily due to lower variable investment income, and an increase in interest expense due to the June 2020 senior debt issuance.

Dividend Declaration

The board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.70, payable December 3 to shareholders of record as of November 17.

Earnings Conference Call

A replay of the conference call will be available at the same address for 90 days following the conference call.

The Company has posted to its website an earnings presentation and a Quarterly Financial Supplement that includes financial information for all segments as well as information on its investment portfolio. Additionally, the Company posts periodic reports, press releases and other useful information on its Investor Relations website.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called adjusted operating income as a basis for analyzing financial results. This measure also serves as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under RGA’s management incentive programs. Management believes that adjusted operating income, on a pre-tax and after-tax basis, better measures the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the Company’s continuing operations, primarily because that measure excludes substantially all of the effect of net investment related gains and losses, as well as changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives and related deferred acquisition costs. These items can be volatile, primarily due to the credit market and interest rate environment, and are not necessarily indicative of the performance of the Company’s underlying businesses. Additionally, adjusted operating income excludes any net gain or loss from discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, tax reform and other items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. The definition of adjusted operating income can vary by company and is not considered a substitute for GAAP net income.

Book value per share excluding the impact of AOCI is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is important in evaluating the balance sheet in order to ignore the effects of unrealized amounts primarily associated with mark-to-market adjustments on investments and foreign currency translation.

Adjusted operating income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as adjusted operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted operating return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as adjusted operating income divided by average stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI. Similar to adjusted operating income, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures better reflect the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the Company’s continuing operations, they also serve as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under RGA’s management incentive programs.

Reconciliations from GAAP net income, book value per share, net income per diluted share and average stockholders’ equity are provided in the following tables. Additional financial information can be found in the Quarterly Financial Supplement on RGA’s Investor Relations website at www.rgare.com in the “Financial Information” section.
