See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Definitions” below

In the second quarter, consolidated net premiums totaled $3.9 billion, an increase of 17.5% over the 2023 second quarter, with an adverse net foreign currency effect of $33 million. Excluding the net foreign currency effect, consolidated net premiums increased 18.5% in the quarter. Net premiums for the quarter included a $282 million contribution from a single premium pension risk transfer transaction in the U.S. Financial Solutions business.

Compared with the year-ago period, excluding spread-based businesses, second quarter investment income increased 10.9%, primarily due to the addition of large asset-intensive in-force transactions in recent periods. Average investment yield increased to 4.65% in the second quarter compared with 4.42% in the prior-year period due to higher new money rates.

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 24.3% on pre-tax income, slightly above the expected range of 23% to 24%, primarily related to income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions.

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 25.5% on pre-tax adjusted operating income, above the expected range of 23% to 24%, primarily related to income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Tony Cheng, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter was good overall, and we continue to have strong momentum, on the back of a particularly strong first quarter. Our Asia Traditional and Financial Solutions businesses had a very good quarter, and our U.S. Traditional and EMEA Financial Solutions areas also performed well. We had a solid quarter of in-force transactions, with $307 million of capital deployed. Additionally, we continued to see good momentum in organic new business activity.

“Our balance sheet remains strong, and we ended the quarter with excess capital of approximately $1.0 billion. Based on favorable business conditions and RGA’s global leadership position, we are optimistic about the future and expect to continue to deliver attractive financial results over time.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Definitions

Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (the “Company”) discloses certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company principally uses such non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating performance because the Company believes that such measures, when reviewed in conjunction with relevant U.S. GAAP measures, present a clearer picture of our operating performance and assist the Company in the allocation of its resources. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and other third parties with a better understanding of the Company’s results of operations, financial statements and the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s businesses by excluding specified items which may not be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and may fluctuate significantly from period to period. These measures should be considered supplementary to the Company’s financial results that are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures. Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way the Company calculates such measures. Consequently, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

The following non-GAAP financial measures are used in this document or in other public disclosures made by the Company from time to time:

1.

Adjusted operating income, on a pre-tax and after-tax basis, and adjusted operating income per diluted share. The Company uses these measures as a basis for analyzing financial results because the Company believes that such measures better reflect the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the Company’s continuing operations. Adjusted operating income is calculated as net income available to the Company’s shareholders (or, in the case of pre-tax adjusted operating income, income before income taxes) excluding, as applicable:

 

  • substantially all of the effect of net investment related gains and losses;
  • changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives;
  • changes in the fair value of contracts that provide market risk benefits;
  • non-economic losses at contract inception for direct pension risk transfer single premium business (which are amortized into adjusted operating income within claims and other policy benefits over the estimated lives of the contracts);
  • any net gain or loss from discontinued operations;
  • the cumulative effect of any accounting changes;
  • the impact of certain tax-related items; and
  • any other items that the Company believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations

as such items can be volatile and may not reflect the underlying performance of the Company’s business. In addition, adjusted operating income per diluted share is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. These measures also serve as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under the Company’s management incentive programs.

2.

Adjusted operating income (on a pre-tax and after-tax basis), excluding notable items.
Notable items are items the Company believes may not be indicative of its ongoing operating performance which are excluded from adjusted operating income to provide investors and other third parties with a better understanding of the Company’s results. Such items may be unexpected, unknown when the Company prepares its business plan or otherwise. Notable items presented may include the financial impact of the Company’s assumption reviews on business subject to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-12, “Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts” and related amendments, reflected in future policy benefits remeasurement gains or losses.

3.

Adjusted operating revenue. This measure excludes the effects of net realized capital gains and losses, and changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives.

4.

Shareholders’ equity position excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), shareholders’ average equity position excluding AOCI, and book value per share excluding the impact of AOCI. The Company believes that these measures provide useful information since such measures exclude AOCI-related items that are not permanent and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, and may not reflect the impact of the underlying performance of the Company’s businesses on shareholders’ equity and book value per share. AOCI primarily relates to changes in interest rates, credit spreads on its investment securities, future policy benefits discount rate measurement gains (losses), market risk benefits instrument-specific credit risk remeasurement gains (losses) and foreign currency fluctuations. The Company also discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Shareholders’ average equity position excluding AOCI and B36, where B36 refers to the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld embedded derivatives;
  • Shareholders’ average equity position excluding AOCI and notable items; and
  • Shareholders’ average equity position excluding AOCI, B36 and notable items.

5.

Adjusted operating return on equity. This measure is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by average shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI. Adjusted operating return on equity also serves as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under the Company’s management incentive programs. The Company also discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Adjusted operating return on equity excluding AOCI and B36;
  • Adjusted operating return on equity excluding AOCI and notable items, which is calculated as adjusted operating income excluding notable items divided by average shareholders’ equity excluding notable items and AOCI; and
  • Adjusted operating return on equity excluding AOCI, B36 and notable items.

Reconciliations of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures (to the extent disclosed in this document) to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the Appendix at the end of this document.

 

Other definitions:

  • Uncapped (profitable) cohorts: cohorts with a net premium ratio under 100%.
  • Capped (loss) cohorts: cohorts with a net premium ratio equal to or greater than 100%.
  • Floored cohorts: cohorts with reserves floored at zero as reserves cannot be negative.
