FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REINSURANCE GROUP OF AMERICA REPORTS INCREASES
IN THIRD-QUARTER REVENUES AND EARNINGS

         ST. LOUIS, October 23, 2003 – Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE:RGA), one of North America’s leading providers of life reinsurance, reported net income for the third quarter of $41.8 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared with net income of $33.6 million, or $0.68 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter, a 22 percent increase on a per-share basis. Third-quarter net premiums increased 26 percent, to $573.0 million from $455.7 million in 2002. Net investment income increased 48 percent, to $122.2 million from $82.5 million in 2002, due primarily to a 34 percent increase in invested assets.

        RGA analyzes its results using a non-GAAP financial measure called operating income. Management believes that operating income, on a pre-tax and after-tax basis, better measures the ongoing profitability of the company’s continuing operations by excluding from operating income the effect of net realized capital gains and losses and related deferred acquisition costs, which tend to be highly variable, and any net gain or loss from discontinued operations, which management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations. However, the definition of operating income can vary by company and is not considered a substitute in all applications for GAAP net income. Reconciliations of operating income to GAAP net income are provided within the text of this press release.

        Operating income increased 7 percent on a per-share basis and totaled $38.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share. Operating income for the quarter excluded $4.3 million, after tax, in net realized capital gains and related deferred acquisition costs and a $0.5 million after-tax loss associated with the company’s discontinued accident and health segment. Operating income in the prior-year quarter totaled $35.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, and excluded

$0.5 million, after tax, in net realized capital losses and related deferred acquisition costs and a $1.1 million after-tax loss associated with the company’s discontinued accident and health segment.

        “Our results reflect strong premium growth across all segments of our business; however, mortality experience was mixed,” said A. Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer. “For the quarter, net premiums in the U.S. increased 15 percent to $369.3 million. Mortality experience for the quarter was approximately $6.0 million unfavorable on a pre-tax basis when compared with expectations. This differs from the first two quarters of the year in which we experienced positive mortality variances. As we have advised in the past, mortality experience does fluctuate from quarter to quarter. On a year-to-date basis, U.S. mortality experience remains favorable. The current quarter also reflects a $3.0 million, pretax, reduction in the reserves associated with the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

        “Pre-tax net income in the U.S. for the quarter totaled $45.3 million compared with $55.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Pre-tax operating income for the quarter totaled $46.8 million compared with $53.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The prior-year quarter reflects positive mortality experience compared to the less favorable mortality experience in the current quarter. Pre-tax operating income excludes approximately $1.5 million in net realized capital losses and related deferred acquisition costs in the current quarter and $1.8 million in net realized capital gains and related deferred acquisition costs in the prior-period quarter.

        “Canada reported a good quarter with pre-tax net income of $19.5 million compared with $8.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Pre-tax operating income totaled $10.9 million for the third quarter compared with $8.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Pre-tax operating income excludes $8.6 million in net realized capital gains in the current period and approximately $200,000 in net realized capital gains in the prior period. The current level of capital gains is a result of repositioning that portfolio to reduce concentrations to certain issuers. Net premiums increased 27 percent. On a year-to-date basis, premiums increased 16 percent. Results for the quarter and year have benefited from an increase in the strength of the Canadian dollar.

        “Other International operations, which exclude Canada, continued to grow at a strong pace, with net premiums increasing 58 percent to $149.8 million. We continued to experience

steady growth across all our markets in this segment. Pre-tax net income totaled $9.6 million compared with $4.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Pre-tax operating income for the quarter totaled $8.7 million, which excludes $0.9 million in net realized capital gains. This represents a significant increase over prior-period pre-tax operating income of $4.0 million, which excluded less than $100,000 in net realized capital gains. In total, mortality experience for the quarter was consistent with expectations. We expect profits from these operations will continue to expand as the amount of reinsurance in force increases; however, results may continue to be more volatile than our more established operations in North America due to the smaller relative size of this segment’s base of business.”

        For the first nine months of 2003, net income totaled $117.1 million, or $2.34 per diluted share, compared with $89.4 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Operating income, excluding $1.0 million, after tax, in net realized capital gains and related deferred acquisition costs and $1.9 million in after-tax losses associated with discontinued operations, increased to $118.0 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, from $101.4 million, or $2.04 per diluted share, the year before. Prior-year operating income excludes $8.0 million, after tax, in net realized capital losses and related deferred acquisition costs, $3.3 million in after-tax losses associated with discontinued operations and $0.7 million, after tax, of goodwill write-off. Consolidated premiums were up 22 percent, to $1,700.7 million from $1,390.1 million.

        Woodring concluded, “Revenue growth continued to be strong, and while operating earnings for the quarter were slightly below our expectation, fluctuations in mortality experience from quarter to quarter are an ongoing part of our business. We nevertheless remain slightly ahead of our earnings expectation on a year-to-date basis. Additionally, we believe we are on track to close the previously announced Allianz transaction during the fourth quarter. We expect that transaction to add approximately $5.0 to $8.0 million, after-tax, in earnings to the fourth quarter and $30.0 to $40.0 million, after-tax, in earnings during 2004. We maintain our momentum moving into the fourth quarter and 2004, and look forward to continued opportunitites in our chosen markets.”

        The company announced that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share, payable November 26 to shareholders of record as of November 5.
