 PRESS RELEASE
REINSURANCE GROUP OF AMERICA REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER RESULTS
 


Earnings per diluted share: operating income* $2.99, net income $2.75
Tax-related adjustments added a total of $0.55 per diluted share in the quarter
Reported premiums increased modestly despite negative effects of the Pacific Life retrocession agreement announced on December 29, as well as a stronger U.S. dollar
Full-year operating return on equity* 12.5 percent
Closed previously announced transaction with Voya Financial


ST. LOUIS, February 2, 2015 - Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE: RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance, reported operating income* of $208.3 million, or $2.99 per diluted share, compared with $154.5 million, or $2.17 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Net income totaled $191.1 million, or $2.75 per diluted share, compared with $145.0 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, the year before. The current period includes favorable tax-related adjustments of approximately $38.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, primarily associated with the release of provisions for uncertain tax positions in prior years, along with related accrued interest. A relatively stronger U.S. dollar versus all major foreign currencies resulted in a net adverse effect of $0.09 per share this quarter.

Full-year 2014 net income totaled $684.0 million, or $9.78 per diluted share, an increase from $418.4 million, or $5.78 per diluted share, in 2013. Operating income increased to $638.0 million, or $9.12 per diluted share, from $358.4 million, or $4.95 per diluted share, the year before, which included an after-tax increase in Australian claim liabilities of $184 million, or $2.53 per diluted share.

Excluding that Australian charge, operating income per diluted share in 2014 was up 22 percent over 2013’s level. Net foreign currency fluctuations reduced 2014 operating income per share by $0.17. Reported net premiums rose five percent for the current year. In original currencies, net premiums increased six percent.

For the quarter, consolidated net premiums of $2.2 billion rose slightly from last year’s fourth quarter, while premiums increased three percent in original currencies. Investment income of $451.6 million was two percent lower this period, primarily due to a $63.7 million decrease in the fair value of options contracts underlying equity-indexed annuities.

Excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, investment income increased 15 percent over year-ago levels, including the effects of commercial mortgage loan prepayments, bond make-whole premiums and a growing average invested asset base. The average investment yield was up 26 basis points to 4.94 percent over the fourth quarter of 2013. Enterprise-wide, including spread-based portfolios, the combined favorable effect of mortgage loan prepayments and bond make-whole premiums was above the expected quarterly run rate by approximately $17 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.

The quarter’s results benefited from the release of liabilities established for uncertain tax positions due to the closure with the Internal Revenue Service of tax returns for a recent five-year period. As a result of that release and other adjustments, the tax provision for the period was reduced and accrued interest expense of approximately $43.9 million was reversed. The effect of recognizing the closure of these tax years and other adjustments totaled $33.0 million, after tax, or $0.47 per diluted share. Additionally, Congress retroactively extended the active financing exception legislation during the quarter, which further reduced the tax provision by $5.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer, commented, “Our very strong operating results this quarter capped off an equally strong full year, as operating income rose to $208.3 million, or $2.99 per diluted share in the quarter. As noted, the result was influenced by favorable tax adjustments, but the underlying results were strong irrespective of those adjustments.

“We continued to see the benefit of our global operating model, as demonstrated by the increased diversity of earnings by geography and product. The quarter was highlighted by excellent results in our core U.S. Traditional business. Our Global Financial Solutions (GFS) and international lines of business, aside from Canada, sustained their recent strong momentum and favorable bottom-line results.

“We are quite pleased with the year as a whole, as we achieved strong operating results and continued to build our brand recognition worldwide. Our operating return on equity exceeded 12 percent, and the balance sheet remains strong. While the macro environment continues to be challenging in certain respects, we have continued to execute collectively across the organization, and we are optimistic about future opportunities.

“We have executed our capital management strategy by supporting solid organic growth and taking a balanced approach with the deployment of excess capital into several attractive in-force blocks as well as a return of capital to shareholders as appropriate. We further demonstrated our commitment to

capital efficiency in the fourth quarter with an embedded value securitization and an agreement to retrocede a block of lower-margin mortality risk, which should enable us to redeploy capital and enhance future returns. These capital-generating transactions, along with strong earnings, contributed to an increase in our excess capital position to approximately $1.2 billion. Finally, our board recently authorized a $300 million share repurchase program, replacing the previous authorization. ”

SEGMENT RESULTS

U.S. and Latin America

Traditional

The U.S. and Latin America Traditional segment reported pre-tax operating income of $134.1 million, an eight percent increase over $123.6 million in the fourth quarter last year, with both periods benefitting from favorable mortality experience. The current period included the effects of the previously announced Voya Financial in-force block transaction and the Pacific Life retrocession agreement, each of which was retroactive to October 1, 2014. The combined effect of those transactions on pre-tax operating income was insignificant.

Traditional net premiums decreased two percent to $1,221.9 million from $1,246.1 million a year ago, reflecting the lost premiums from the Pacific Life agreement, partially offset by the premiums gained in the Voya Financial transaction. Excluding those transactions, traditional net premiums would have increased six percent over the fourth quarter of 2013, reflecting solid growth in all traditional product lines. For the full year, net premiums increased four percent and totaled $4,725.5 million. Pre-tax net income totaled $128.9 million for the quarter, compared with $122.8 million in last year’s fourth quarter.

Non-Traditional

The Asset Intensive business reported very strong results with pre-tax operating income totaling $56.0 million compared with $42.3 million last year, reflecting an increase in commercial mortgage loan prepayment fees of $12.0 million, as well as favorable net interest rate spread performance. Full-year pre-tax operating income also was very strong at $199.0 million, compared with $166.1 million in 2013. Fourth-quarter pre-tax net income increased to $34.5 million from $31.8 million a year ago.

The Financial Reinsurance business continued to benefit from recent growth in fee-based transactions and posted pre-tax operating income of $12.5 million for the quarter, compared with a strong $14.3 million in last year’s fourth quarter. For the year, pre-tax operating income increased 15 percent to $52.4 million. Pre-tax net income totaled $12.4 million in the fourth quarter and $14.3 million in the prior-year period.

Canada

Canadian operations reported pre-tax operating income of $19.9 million this quarter, down from $47.2 million in the prior-year period. Higher-than-expected large individual mortality claims, those exceeding $1 million, hampered results throughout 2014, including during the fourth quarter.

Add Three
Additionally, a relatively weaker Canadian dollar adversely affected pre-tax operating income by approximately $1.9 million for the quarter, and $7.8 million for the year. Reported net premiums increased modestly over the prior-year quarter and totaled $245.0 million. In Canadian dollars,
premiums rose nine percent. For the full year, net premiums increased one percent in reported U.S. dollars and nine percent in Canadian dollars. Fourth-quarter pre-tax net income totaled $21.6 million compared with $50.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)

Pre-tax operating income in EMEA increased significantly, totaling $33.8 million versus last year’s $12.0 million, primarily a result of strong operating performance in the U.K. due to favorable claims experience and the impact of two GFS transactions that closed in 2014. Net foreign currency fluctuations adversely affected pre-tax operating income by approximately $2.4 million. Net reported premiums increased four percent and totaled $345.9 million, compared with $332.5 million last year; original currency premiums increased nine percent over the prior-year level. For the full year, reported net premiums increased 13 percent over 2013 and net premiums on a local currency basis increased 10 percent. Fourth-quarter pre-tax net income totaled $39.9 million versus $12.0 million in the year‑ago quarter.

Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific’s fourth-quarter pre-tax operating income of $25.3 million approached the strong prior-year performance of $26.9 million. Most Asian operations, particularly Japan and India, posted strong results. Australia pre-tax operating income was again modestly positive this period. Segment-wide reported net premiums rose three percent to $400.1 million from $387.8 million in the prior-year period. Local currency premiums increased 10 percent with strong growth in Hong Kong & Southeast Asia. Foreign currency fluctuations adversely affected pre-tax operating income by approximately $3.8 million this quarter. For the year, net premiums were up six percent on a U.S. dollar basis and 11 percent in original currencies. Fourth-quarter pre-tax net income totaled $20.6 million compared with $23.7 million in last year’s fourth quarter.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment reported pre-tax operating income of $22.6 million versus a pre-tax operating loss of $21.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Current-quarter results were primarily influenced by the $43.9 million reduction in tax-related interest expense described above. General expenses were higher this period, primarily due to higher incentive-based compensation expenses and new corporate initiatives. This segment reported pre-tax net income of $18.9 million this quarter compared with a pre-tax net loss of $25.5 million in the prior-year period.

Company Guidance

On an annual basis, the company provides financial guidance based upon the intermediate term rather than giving a range of annual earnings per share for an upcoming year. This better reflects the long-term nature of the business and the difficulty in predicting the timing of shorter-term or periodic events such as block

transactions. The company accepts risks over very long periods of time, up to 30 years or longer in some cases. While more predictable over longer-term horizons, RGA’s business is subject to inherent short-term volatility.

Over the intermediate term, the company targets growth in operating income per share in the five to eight percent range, and operating return on equity of 11 percent to 12 percent; these targets are unchanged from those provided last year at this time. It is presumed that there are no significant changes in the investment environment from current levels and the company will deploy $250 million to $400 million of excess capital, on average, annually. These guidance ranges are based upon “normalized” results.

Dividend Declaration

The board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.33, payable March 6 to shareholders of record as of February 13.

Earnings Conference Call

A conference call to discuss fourth-quarter results will begin at 9 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, February 3. Interested parties may access the call by dialing 1-877-681-3375 (domestic) or 719-325-4934 (international). The access code is 9573722. A live audio webcast of the conference call will be available on the company’s investor relations website at www.rgare.com. A replay of the conference call will be available at the same address for 90 days following the conference call. A telephonic replay also will be available through February 11 at 888-203-1112 (domestic) or 719-457-0820 (international), access code 9573722.

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 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 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, operating income excludes any net gain or loss from discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, and other items that management believes are not indicative of the company’s ongoing operations. The definition of operating income can vary by company and is not considered a substitute for GAAP net income.

Reconciliations to GAAP net income 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 “Quarterly Results” tab and in the “Featured Report” section.

Book value per share before 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.

Operating income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Operating return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by average shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI.

Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated
Financial Supplement
This Financial Supplement is for information purposes only and includes unaudited figures. This report should be read in conjunction with documents filed by Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated ("RGA") with the SEC.
Non-GAAP Disclosures
RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called 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 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, operating income excludes any net gain or loss from discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, and other items that management believes are not indicative of the company’s ongoing operations. The definition of operating income can vary by company and is not considered a substitute for GAAP net income. A reconciliation of income before income taxes of the operating segments to pre-tax operating income (loss) is presented herein.
RGA evaluates its stockholder equity position excluding the impact of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) since the net unrealized gains or losses included in AOCI primarily relate to changes in interest rates, credit spreads on its investment securities and foreign currency fluctuations that are not permanent and can fluctuate significantly from period to period.
Additionally, RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called operating return on equity, which is calculated as operating income divided by average shareholders’
equity excluding AOCI.

Financial Supplement
2015 Guidance

On an annual basis, the company provides financial guidance based upon the intermediate term rather than giving a range of annual earnings per share for an upcoming year. This better reflects the long-term nature of the business and the difficulty in predicting the timing of shorter-term or periodic events such as block transactions. The company accepts risks over very long periods of time, up to 30 years or longer in some cases. While more predictable over longer-term horizons, RGA’s business is subject to inherent short-term volatility.

Over the intermediate term, the company targets growth in operating income per share in the five to eight percent range, and operating return on equity of 11 percent to 12 percent; these targets are unchanged from those provided last year at this time. It is presumed that there are no significant changes in the investment environment from current levels and the company will deploy $250 million to $400 million of excess capital, on average, annually. These guidance ranges are based upon “normalized” results.

(1) Effective January 1, 2014, the company realigned certain operations and management responsibilities to better fit within its geographic-based segments. Mexico and Latin America operations were moved from Europe & South Africa to the U.S. segment, which has been renamed U.S. and Latin America. India operations have been moved from Europe & South Africa to the Asia Pacific segment. Europe & South Africa has been renamed Europe, Middle East and Africa. December 2013 figures have been restated to conform to the new reporting alignment.

In instances where a S&P rating is not available, the Company will reference the rating provided by Moody’s, and in the absence of both the Company will assign equivalent ratings based on information from the NAIC.
