Full-year net income totaled $415 million, or $6.31 per diluted share, compared with $870 million, or $13.62 per diluted share in 2019. Adjusted operating income for the full year totaled $496 million, or $7.54 per diluted share, compared with $853 million, or $13.35 per diluted share the year before. Net foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable effect of $0.11 per diluted share on net income and $0.06 per diluted share on adjusted operating income for the full year. Net premiums totaled $11.7 billion, increasing 4% in 2020. Full-year premiums reflected adverse foreign currency effects of $32 million.

In the fourth quarter, consolidated net premiums totaled $3.3 billion, an increase of 9% over last year’s fourth quarter, with a favorable net foreign currency effect of $35 million. Compared with the year-ago period, excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, fourth quarter investment income increased 2% over the prior year, reflecting an 11% higher average asset balance and the effects of lower new money rates. Average investment yield decreased to 4.20% in the fourth quarter from 4.55% in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter and the full year was 21.6% and 24.9%, respectively, on pre-tax income. The effective tax rate on adjusted operating income was 18.3% and 20.9% for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively. The rate was below expectations as a result of utilizing foreign tax credits and tax benefits associated with differences in bases in foreign jurisdictions.

Anna Manning, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Results benefited from our diversified global platform with a number of our segments performing very well this quarter; our overall premium growth was a solid 9%, and we were successful in closing a number of in-force transactions. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we ended the quarter with excess capital of approximately $1.3 billion.

“Our fourth quarter and full-year results were negatively impacted by a significant level of COVID-19 mortality claim costs, resulting in earnings that were lower than would have been expected in a normal quarter and year. While we expect our results to continue to be affected by COVID-19 in the short term, the RGA franchise has shown resilience and produced very good results in many respects. We believe that our strong financial condition and global business platform position us to both successfully manage through the immediate challenges and create substantial long-term value.

“I am proud of how our organization has performed in this challenging environment. Our employees have demonstrated perseverance, dedication and flexibility, and have kept our operations running smoothly. Because of this, RGA has continued to deliver on our promises and supported our clients and their customers around the globe.”

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.
