In the second quarter, consolidated net premiums totaled $2.8 billion, up 7% from last year’s second quarter of $2.6 billion, with adverse net foreign currency effects of $60.0 million. Excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, investment income increased 7% versus a year ago, reflecting asset growth of 6%. The average investment yield, excluding spread business, was up six basis points from the second quarter of 2018 to 4.38% due to higher variable investment income.

The effective tax rate this quarter was 22.1% on pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 21.1% on pre-tax adjusted operating income for the quarter, at the lower end of the expected range of 21% to 24%.

Anna Manning, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This was a solid quarter for us, with a number of positives. Income slightly exceeded our expectations, and we experienced strong momentum both from organic growth and in-force transactions. The benefits from our global operating platform helped to deliver diverse earnings in the quarter, as strong results in U.S. Financial Solutions, EMEA and Canada offset some modest weakness elsewhere.

“This quarter we deployed $185 million of capital into a number of in-force and other transactions across a range of product areas and geographies, bringing our year-to-date total to $236 million. We ended the quarter with an excess capital position of approximately $1.0 billion.

“We are optimistic about our business, and in recognition of our ongoing earnings power, the board increased the common stock dividend by 17%, marking the tenth straight year of double-digit percentage increases. RGA is well positioned for expanding opportunities, we have a proven strategy and a proven track record of execution, and we expect to continue to produce attractive financial returns.”

The Company has posted to its website 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.
