Phoenix Companies (PNX) Reports Significant Improvement in Net Income, Further Growth in Statutory Capital and Continued Strong Annuity Sales for Third Quarter 2011

HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (NYSE:PNX) today reported net income of $31.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, and operating income of $29.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011. These results compare with a net loss of $25.0 million, or $0.22 per share, and an operating loss of $7.1 million, or $0.06 per share, for the third quarter of 2010.

Excluding a $9.0 million tax benefit and a net $1.4 million deferred acquisition cost (DAC) unlocking charge, third quarter 2011 operating income was $21.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. Third quarter 2010 operating income was $17.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share net of taxes and DAC unlocking charges. Given the significant volatility in the company’s GAAP tax provision, certain operating comparisons are given on a pre-tax basis.

“Our results this quarter demonstrate the strong fundamentals of our business, including mortality, persistency, investment performance and expense management. Mortality in particular was favorable this quarter and more than offset the negative effects of the equity markets and low interest rates,” said James D. Wehr, president and chief executive officer. “We continue to generate capital, adding to the strength of our balance sheet, and sustain risk-based capital above 300 percent,” he added.

“Importantly, our two principal growth initiatives – middle market annuities and Saybrus Partners – maintained their positive momentum. Annuity deposits are increasing meaningfully, and Saybrus Partners posted a profit for the first time since it was established almost two years ago,” Mr. Wehr said.

¹Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the correction of an error related to the historical presentation of ceded premiums related to certain reinsurance contracts within the closed block. The adjustments reflect the reclassification of ceded premiums from benefits and reserves to revenue. The adjustment reduced revenues and benefits and reserves by $24.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. There was no impact to net income (loss), stockholders’ equity or earnings per share.

THIRD QUARTER 2011 OPERATING RESULTS

• Third quarter 2011 pre-tax operating income of $20.0 million, compared with a pre-tax operating loss of $18.4 million for the third quarter of 2010, was driven by very favorable mortality experience, particularly in the universal life product line, solid investment performance and lower expenses that helped offset the effect of negative markets in the quarter.
• Third quarter 2011 revenues decreased 4 percent from the third quarter of 2010, due to lower premiums and fee income, partially offset by higher net investment income. The change in premium revenue relates almost exclusively to closed block policies (sold before the 2001 demutualization) and is consistent with the expected gradual decline of this block.
• Net investment income was $198.3 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared with $211.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $195.5 million for the third quarter of 2010. The decrease from the prior quarter was driven primarily by lower alternative asset returns. The increase from the prior year period was driven primarily by higher income from long term debt securities.
• Total individual life surrenders were at an annualized rate of 7.0 percent for the third quarter, compared with 6.1 percent for the second quarter of 2011 and 8.2 percent for the third quarter of 2010. The change from the prior quarter was primarily the result of scheduled surrenders in a large corporate-owned life insurance case in Phoenix’s closed block. The closed block’s annualized surrender rate was 7.0 percent for the third quarter of 2011, compared with 5.6 percent for the second quarter of 2011 and 7.7 percent for the third quarter of 2010.
• Annuity surrenders for the third quarter of 2011 were at an annualized rate of 11.3 percent, improved from 11.6 percent for the second quarter of 2011 and 11.8 percent for the third quarter of 2010.
• Overall mortality experience for the third quarter of 2011 was favorable compared with expectations, with open block results very favorable, particularly in the universal life product line, and closed block unfavorable compared with expectations. Overall mortality experience has been favorable in four of the last five quarters.
• Phoenix conducted a comprehensive annual review of DAC and certain reserves and made a number of unlocking adjustments. These adjustments resulted in a net charge of $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2011. Phoenix’s annual review in the third quarter of 2010 resulted in a net $36.3 million DAC unlocking charge.
• Total operating expenses improved for the third quarter of 2011 to $57.3 million from $64.0 million for the third quarter of 2010. Core operating expenses before deferrals were $48.3 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared with $55.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. The improvement primarily reflects lower professional fees and other outside services, which more than offset $3 million in additional expenses associated with a previously announced policy administration system conversion. Core operating expenses before deferrals represent total operating expenses excluding premium taxes, reinsurance allowances, commissions, sales incentives and unusual expenses. The company will take actions with a target of reducing annual expenses by an additional $20 million by 2013.
• The company recorded a $9.0 million tax benefit in third quarter 2011 operating income primarily related to the recognition of operating loss carryforwards that reversed estimated alternative minimum tax payments made earlier in the year.
• Strong sales continued in Phoenix’s repositioned annuity product line, which is distributed through independent marketing organizations that focus on the middle market. Annuity deposits were $279.0 million for the third quarter of 2011, improved from $191.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $38.7 million for the third quarter of 2010. New sales were primarily fixed indexed annuities. The company is targeting $1 billion to $1.4 billion in annuity sales for 2012.
• Net annuity flows remained positive for the fourth consecutive quarter at $158.6 million, compared with negative net flows of $71.9 million for the third quarter of 2010, contributing to an 8 percent year-over-year increase in annuity funds under management to $4.2 billion at September 30, 2011.
• Life insurance annualized premium was $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared with $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2010. Gross life insurance in-force at September 30, 2011 was $127.4 billion, a 9 percent decrease from September 30, 2010.
• Phoenix’s distribution company, Saybrus Partners, turned profitable in the third quarter of 2011 with $0.2 million of EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, including inter-company revenues) compared with an EBITDA loss of $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 and an EBITDA loss of $4.7 million for the third quarter of 2010. Saybrus revenues more than tripled from a year ago to $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2011 through deeper penetration within its third-party distribution relationships and continued strong sales of Phoenix products.

REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES

Net unrealized gains on fixed income securities increased to $512.7 million at September 30, 2011 from net unrealized gains of $415.9 million at June 30, 2011. The improvement was due primarily to lower treasury rates.

Net realized gains for the third quarter of 2011 were $6.1 million, compared with net realized losses of $14.1 million for the third quarter of 2010. The change was due primarily to fluctuations in the non-performance risk factor. Other-than-temporary impairments were $8.4 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared with $11.9 million for the third quarter of 2010, reflecting the improved credit environment.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The company recognized a loss of $4.1 million in its discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business during the quarter as a result of an increase in reserves reported to it by certain ceding companies.

BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY

Phoenix retains its focus on maintaining appropriate levels of capital and liquidity. As of September 30, 2011, the proportion of the most highly liquid assets in its fixed income portfolio was 7.8 percent. In addition, a significant portion of the portfolio is invested in highly liquid public bonds that have market values in excess of their book values.

The quality of the portfolio improved significantly in the third quarter of 2011 primarily as a result of upgrades and repayments of lower-rated debt. The proportion of below investment grade bonds was 7.6 percent at September 30, 2011 compared with 8.5 percent at June 30, 2011.

Debt-to-total-capital at September 30, 2011 remains relatively low at 24.5 percent. Phoenix has no debt maturities until 2032.

As of September 30, 2011, cash and securities at the holding company were $66.7 million. The annual run rate for 2011 holding company interest and operating expenses is estimated to be $26 million.

⁽¹⁾ In addition to financial measures presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we use non-GAAP financial measures such as operating income, as well as components of and financial measures derived from operating income, in evaluating our financial performance. Net income and net income per share are the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for net income and net income per share. Therefore, investors should evaluate both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures when reviewing our performance. A reconciliation of net income to our non-GAAP financial measures is set forth in the financial highlights table earlier in this release. Investors should note that our calculation of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies. For additional information, please see our financial supplement in the Investor Relations section at www.phoenixwm.com.

Operating income, and components of and measures derived from operating income, are internal performance measures we use in the management of our operations, including our compensation plans and planning processes. In addition, management believes that these measures provide investors with additional insight into the underlying trends in our operations.

Operating income represents income from continuing operations, which is a GAAP measure, before realized investment gains and losses, and certain unusual items.

• Net realized investment gains and losses are excluded from operating income because their size and timing are frequently subject to management’s discretion.
• Unusual items may be excluded from operating income because we believe they are not indicative of overall operating trends and are items that management believes are non-recurring and material, and which result from a business restructuring, a change in regulatory environment, or other unusual circumstances. For the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, unusual items excluded from operating income at the beginning of this release were:

⁽¹⁾ Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the correction of an error related to the historical presentation of ceded premiums related to certain reinsurance contracts within the closed block. The adjustments reflect the reclassification of ceded premiums from policy benefits to premiums. The adjustment reduced premiums and policy benefits, excluding policyholder dividends, by $24.3 million and $73.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. There was no impact to net income(loss), stockholders’ equity, or earnings per share.
