In the third quarter, consolidated net premiums totaled $2.8 billion, up 10% from last year’s third quarter of $2.6 billion, with adverse net foreign currency effects of $34.9 million. Excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, investment income increased 13% versus a year ago, reflecting asset growth of 7% and higher variable investment income. The average investment yield, excluding spread business, was up 26 basis points from the third quarter of 2018 to 4.83% primarily due to higher variable investment income.

The effective tax rate this quarter was 24.3% on pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 23.5% on pre-tax adjusted operating income for the quarter, at the higher end of the expected range of 21% to 24%.

Anna Manning, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This was a very good quarter for us in many respects, as bottom-line results, premium growth and capital deployment were all strong. We continue to benefit from earnings diversity that comes from our global operating platform. Outstanding performances by several of our key businesses helped us to deliver strong bottom-line results in spite of earnings variability by segment and ongoing macroeconomic headwinds including lower interest rates and a strong U.S. dollar.

“Highlights for the quarter included strong results in EMEA, Canada and U.S. Asset-Intensive, and the U.S. Group business performed above expectations. Investment results were very good, as alternative investments produced strong returns. These areas of strength more than offset a loss in Australia and unfavorable U.S. Individual Mortality experience.

“We had another successful quarter with $150 million of capital deployed into in-force and other transactions, bringing the year-to-date total to $385 million. We also repurchased $30 million of common shares during the quarter for a year-to-date total of $80 million. We ended the quarter with an excess capital position of approximately $1.0 billion.

“Looking forward, we remain optimistic about the future and our business prospects, as RGA is well positioned in its markets, and we have a proven strategy. Ours is a long-term business and can be best judged by results over longer periods of time. We point to a long track record of successful execution and strong financial results, and we expect to continue to deliver attractive financial returns into the future.”

SEGMENT RESULTS

U.S. and Latin America

The U.S. and Latin America Traditional segment reported pre-tax income of $112.5 million, compared with $116.3 million in the third quarter of 2018. Pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $122.1 million, compared with $116.4 million the year before, benefiting from favorable experience in the Group business and strong variable investment income, in part offset by unfavorable individual mortality experience. The year-ago period reflected favorable mortality experience and above-average variable investment income.

Traditional net premiums were up 3% from last year’s third quarter to $1,404.2 million.

Financial Solutions

The Asset-Intensive business reported pre-tax income of $99.7 million compared with $65.5 million last year. Third quarter pre-tax adjusted operating income increased to $65.6 million, up from $63.8 million a year ago, attributable to new business and favorable longevity experience on a block of payout annuities.

Canada

Traditional

The Canada Traditional segment reported pre-tax income of $43.7 million, compared with $21.1 million the year before. Pre-tax adjusted operating income more than doubled to $44.3 million from $20.0 million a year ago, reflecting continued favorable individual mortality experience. The prior-year quarter reflected unfavorable individual mortality experience. Foreign currency exchange rates had an adverse effect of $0.5 million on pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income.

Reported net premiums totaled $270.8 million for the quarter, up 11% over the year-ago period, primarily due to in-force transactions entered into in 2018. Net foreign currency fluctuations had an adverse effect of $2.9 million on net premiums.

The current period reflected favorable longevity experience. Net foreign currency fluctuations had an immaterial effect on pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income.

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)

Traditional

The EMEA Traditional segment reported pre-tax income of $25.3 million compared with $18.4 million in last year’s third quarter. Pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $25.5 million, compared with $18.4 million, attributable primarily to favorable underwriting experience overall, while the year-ago period reflected modestly favorable underwriting results. Net foreign currency fluctuations adversely affected pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income by $1.2 million for the quarter.

Reported net premiums increased 6% to $359.4 million in the third quarter. Foreign currency exchange rates adversely affected net premiums by $17.1 million.

Financial Solutions

The EMEA Financial Solutions business segment, which consists of longevity, asset-intensive and fee-based transactions, reported third quarter pre-tax income of $61.2 million, compared with $56.2 million in the year-ago period. Pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $59.0 million, compared with $56.4 million the year before. Both periods were above expectations, reflecting favorable experience in both asset-intensive and longevity business. Net foreign currency fluctuations adversely affected pre-tax income by $3.4 million and pre-tax adjusted operating income by $3.3 million.

Asia Pacific

Traditional

The Asia Pacific Traditional segment’s pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $21.5 million, compared with $62.0 million in the prior-year period. The current-period results reflected a larger loss than experienced in recent quarters in Australia and modestly unfavorable results in Asia. The year-ago period reflected favorable experience in Asia, which was slightly offset by a loss in Australia. Net foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable effect of $3.1 million on pre-tax income and pre-tax adjusted operating income.

Reported net premiums increased 19% to $655.9 million, reflecting growth on new and existing treaties in Asia, partially offset by a reduction in Australia. Foreign currency exchange rates had an adverse effect of $11.9 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 $1.9 million, compared with $0.2 million in the prior-year period. Pre-tax adjusted operating income totaled $4.6 million, compared with $1.3 million the year before, attributable to new business in Asia. Net foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable effect of $0.4 million on pre-tax income and $0.1 million on pre-tax adjusted operating income.

Reported net premiums increased significantly to $30.0 million, attributable to new treaties added in this year. Foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable effect of $0.8 million on net premiums.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment’s pre-tax losses totaled $41.0 million, compared with pre-tax losses of $40.3 million the year before. Pre-tax adjusted operating losses totaled $29.9 million, compared with year-ago pre-tax adjusted operating losses of $18.1 million. The current-period loss was higher than the average expected run rate due primarily to costs related to higher incentive based compensation accruals, strategic initiatives and service businesses. The prior-year period benefited from higher variable investment income.

Dividend Declaration

The board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.70, payable December 3 to shareholders of record as of November 12.

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.
