INVESTOR DAY 2023
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures RGA discloses certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management principally uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating performance because management believes that such measures, when reviewed in conjunction with relevant U.S. GAAP measures, present a clearer picture of our operating performance, and assist management in the allocation of our resources. In this regard, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a better understanding of our results of operations and balance sheet, and the underlying profitability drivers and trends of our businesses, by excluding specified items which may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance and may fluctuate significantly from period to period. These measures should be considered supplementary to our 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 we calculate such measures. Consequently, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. RGA uses adjusted operating income, on a pre-tax and after-tax basis, and adjusted operating income per diluted share, as a basis for analyzing financial results because management 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 RGA shareholders excluding substantially all of the effect of net investment related gains and losses, changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives, and changes in the fair value of contracts that provide market risk benefits, which items can be volatile. 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. 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 our management incentive programs. RGA also uses adjusted operating income, excluding notable items. Notable items currently represent the financial impact of RGA’s assumption reviews on business subject to LDTI, reflected in future policy benefits remeasurement (gains) losses. In addition, notable items may in future periods include other items RGA believes may not be indicative of future performance. Adjusted operating revenue is a measure used by RGA that excludes the effects of net realized capital gains and losses, and changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives. Stockholders’ equity position excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), and book value per share excluding the impact of AOCI, are non-GAAP financial measures used by RGA. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors 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 our stockholders’ 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. In addition, RGA uses adjusted operating return on equity, which is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by average stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI. Adjusted operating return on equity also serves as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under RGA’s management incentive programs. RGA also uses a financial measure called adjusted operating return on equity excluding notable items, which is calculated as adjusted operating income excluding notable items divided by average stockholders’ equity excluding notable items and AOCI. Reconciliations of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the Appendix at the end of this presentation. INVESTOR DAY 2023
