  • (a) Q3 2020 includes expense from the revision of assumptions used in determining reserves held for lifetime income benefit riders. The impact increased interest sensitive and index products by $285.8 million and decreased both net income and net income available to common stockholders by $224.4 million and decreased earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $2.44 per share.

  • (b) Q3 2020 includes expense from the revision of assumptions which increased amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $391.4 million and $589.2 million, respectively, and decreased both net income and net income available to common stockholders by $769.8 million and decreased earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $8.35 per share.

  • (c) Q3 2020 includes a benefit from the revision of assumptions used in determining the embedded derivative component of our fixed index annuity policy benefit reserves. The impact decreased change in fair value of embedded derivatives by $2,111.1 million and increased both net income and net income available to common stockholders by $1,657.2 million and increased earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $17.98 per share.

  • (d) Q2 2020 includes a benefit from the revision of assumptions used in determining the embedded derivative component of our fixed index annuity policy benefit reserves. The impact decreased change in fair value of embedded derivatives by $230.1 million, increased amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $36.7 million and $57.6 million, respectively, and decreased both net loss and net loss available to common stockholders by $106.5 million and reduced loss per common share - assuming dilution by $1.16 per share.

(e) Q1 2020 includes a tax benefit related to the provision of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, ("the CARES ACT") which was signed into legislation on March 27, 2020 and allows net operating losses for 2018 through 2020 to be carried back to previous tax years in which a 35% statutory tax rate was in effect. The impact reduced income tax expense and increased both net income and net income available to common stockholders by $30.8 million and increased earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $0.33 per share.

In addition to net income (loss) available to common stockholders, we have consistently utilized non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders and non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders per common share - assuming dilution, non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in the life insurance industry, as economic measures to evaluate our financial performance. Non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders equals net income (loss) available to common stockholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of items that fluctuate from quarter to quarter in a manner unrelated to core operations, and we believe measures excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends. The most significant adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders eliminate the impact of fair value accounting for our fixed index annuity business. These adjustments are not economic in nature but rather impact the timing of reported results. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders together with net income (loss) available to common stockholders provides information that may enhance an investor's understanding of our underlying results and profitability.

(a) Interest sensitive and index product benefits adjustment reflects the change in the allowance for credit losses on our reinsurance recoverable/coinsurance deposits under a revised impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost which we were required to adopt on January 1, 2020. The change in this allowance is reflected in the net realized gains/losses of financial assets, including credit losses line in the other Non-GAAP financial measures tables in this financial supplement.

  • (a) Total capitalization excluding AOCI, a non-GAAP financial measure, is based on stockholders' equity excluding the effect of AOCI.

  • (b) Equity available to preferred stockholders is equal to the redemption value of outstanding preferred stock plus share dividends declared but not yet issued.

  • (c) Total common stockholders' equity, total common stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and total common stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and the net impact of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives, non-GAAP financial measures, exclude equity available to preferred stockholders. Total common stockholders' equity and book value per common share excluding AOCI, non-GAAP financial measures, are based on common stockholders' equity excluding the effect of AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale securities, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information. Total common stockholders' equity and book value per common share excluding AOCI and the net impact of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives, non-GAAP financial measures, are based on common stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and the net impact of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives. Since the net impact of fair value accounting for our derivatives and embedded derivatives fluctuates from quarter to quarter and the most significant impacts relate to fair value accounting for our fixed index annuity business and are not economic in nature but rather impact the timing of reported results, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information.

  • (d) Book value per common share including and excluding AOCI and book value per common share excluding AOCI and the net impact of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives are calculated as total common stockholders' equity, total common stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and total common stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and the net impact of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.

  • (e) Debt-to-capital ratios are computed using total capitalization excluding AOCI.

(a)The minimum guaranteed interest rate for the fixed rate or the fixed rate strategy ranges from 0.5% - 1.75%. The ultimate guaranteed rate is applied on less than 100% of the premium.

If all crediting rates were reduced to minimum guaranteed rates (subject to limitations imposed by ultimate minimum guaranteed rates where applicable) the weighted average crediting rate as of December 31, 2020 for fixed annuities and funds allocated to the fixed rate strategy for fixed index annuities would decrease by 0.11%.
