Exhibit 99.1 [RGA logo] For further information, contact Jack B. Lay Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (636) 736-7439 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - --------------------- REINSURANCE GROUP OF AMERICA REPORTS ------------------------------------ SECOND-QUARTER RESULTS; ADVERSE EFFECT OF HIGH CLAIMS ----------------------------------------------------- LEVELS AND INCREASE IN OTHER RESERVES ------------------------------------- ST. LOUIS, JULY 21, 2005 - Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE:RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance, reported net income for the second quarter of $21.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $65.3 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called operating income as a basis for analyzing financial results. The definition of operating income and reconciliations to GAAP net income are provided in the following tables. Operating income decreased to $20.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, from $57.2 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Second-quarter net premiums totaled $931.4 million compared to $797.3 million a year ago. Net investment income totaled $146.3 million versus $134.2 million the year before. The company's conference call, previously scheduled for July 26, will be held tomorrow, July 22, at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. Telephone numbers and webcast information can be found later in this press release. A. Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer, commented, "We are obviously disappointed with the results for the quarter. High claims levels in the U.S. and the UK along with an increase to reserves for the Argentine pension business, which is currently in run-off, were the primary contributing factors to the sub-par earnings. The level of claims in both the U.S. and UK operations during the quarter is well above the expected levels generated by our - more -

Add One business models, and as such, is not expected to continue on an ongoing basis. This is a long- term business, which can be subject to volatility over shorter-term periods. Net premiums met our expected growth rate, increasing 17 percent over the prior-year quarter. "The U.S. segment reported pre-tax net income of $30.6 million compared with $75.8 million in the prior-year quarter, while pre-tax operating income decreased to $36.8 million from $68.4 million. We have performed an extensive review of the claims experience during the quarter relative to expected levels. While the number of claims was at anticipated levels, we experienced an unusually high dollar volume of claims in excess of $1.0 million per life during the quarter. The dollar amount of such claims was approximately $32.0 million higher than the prior-year quarter. We also experienced a higher-than-expected flow of large claims in the first quarter, although to a lesser extent than occurred in the current quarter. Net premiums in the U.S. segment rose 8 percent to $575.9 million from $531.3 million in the prior year, compared with our expected full-year growth rate of at least 10 percent. "Our Canada operations reported another strong quarter with pre-tax net income of $20.3 million compared to $21.2 million a year ago. The prior-year period included $6.9 million in net realized investment gains compared to $2.4 million net realized investment gains in the current quarter. Pre-tax operating income was up 25 percent to $17.9 million from $14.3 million. Net premiums increased $15.1 million, or 24 percent, for the quarter, and totaled $76.9 million. Approximately $6.4 million of the increase in net premiums and approximately $1.5 million of the increase in pre-tax operating income were the result of a favorable currency exchange rate. Mortality experience for the segment continues to be favorable. "Other International operations, which include Asia Pacific and Europe and South Africa, reported mixed results. Asia Pacific reported a strong quarter with pre-tax net income of $13.8 million compared with $4.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Pre-tax operating income totaled $13.7 million compared to the prior-year quarter total of $4.8 million. Asia Pacific benefited from strong premium levels across all countries, as net premiums increased to $145.0 million from $84.2 million in the year-earlier quarter. Stronger foreign currencies contributed approximately $10.5 million to the premium growth and approximately $1.4 million to the growth in pre-tax operating income. - more -

Add Two Results in our Europe and South Africa segment were adversely affected by high claim levels in the UK. After an unusually strong first quarter, the segment reported a second-quarter pre-tax net loss of $6.6 million compared to pre-tax net income of $11.8 million in the year before, which was also a particularly strong quarter. The pre-tax operating loss totaled $6.5 million compared with $10.7 million operating income in the prior-year quarter. Claims from several large treaties in the UK were unusually high during the quarter, due in part to a lag in client claim reporting. However, those treaties are performing within our pricing expectations on an inception-to-date basis. Net premium flow for the segment was good, totaling $133.0 million compared to $118.9 million a year ago. Foreign currency fluctuations did not have a significant impact on the quarter's results. "Results in the Corporate and Other segment include a pre-tax charge of $24.0 million, or about $0.24 per diluted share on an after-tax basis, to increase the reserves associated with our reinsurance of Argentine pension accounts. We commuted our treaty with one of our larger clients during the quarter and are in discussions with the remaining clients regarding settlement of all our obligations under the remaining treaties. We believe the additional $24.0 million in reserves should eliminate any future negative impact on our earnings, thereby reducing the uncertainty associated with this run-off business." For the first half of 2005, net income totaled $88.4 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, compared to $127.1 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Operating income totaled $80.5 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared to $109.3 million, or $1.74 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Consolidated premiums were up 14 percent, to $1,833.2 million from $1,611.2 million. Woodring concluded, "Our extensive analysis to date leads us to expect that the claims experience will revert to more normal levels, although we cannot reasonably expect to recoup all of the current quarter shortfall in earnings during the remainder of this year. The nature of our business is such that our results will continue to be subject to volatility. Our treaties are very long-term in duration, and the level of death claims is subject to significant volatility on a monthly, quarterly and even on an annual basis. We will continue to analyze the recent claims experience as we develop our intermediate-term operating and financial goals later this quarter. Based upon the analysis to date, we do not expect to materially change our intermediate growth - more -

Add Three expectations. Market fundamentals are very good right now in North America and growth prospects are very strong internationally. We remain well positioned to take advantage of attractive opportunities on a global basis." The company also announced that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share, payable August 26 to shareholders of record as of August 5.

Add Six Operating Income 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 the effect of certain net investment related gains and losses, as well as changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives and related deferred acquisition costs. These items tend to be highly variable, 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 and the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, which 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.
