In the first quarter, consolidated net premiums totaled $2.8 billion, up 3% from last year’s first quarter, with adverse net foreign currency effects of $33 million. Compared with the year-ago period, excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, investment income decreased 4% and average investment yield was down 41 basis points to 4.08%, attributable to below-average variable investment income.

The effective tax rate this quarter was 8.9% on the pre-tax loss. The effective tax rate was 24.7% on pre-tax adjusted operating income for the quarter, slightly above the expected range of 23% to 24% due to the geographic mix of earnings.

Anna Manning, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “These are extremely challenging times for all of us, particularly for those on the front lines of the crisis. Our thoughts are with those most affected by this crisis. At RGA, we are focused on the health and well-being of our employees, and on supporting our clients and communities. Millions of families around the world rely on the financial protection that insurance companies provide in times of uncertainty. Although we don’t know how this crisis will ultimately unfold, we are part of an industry that provides support in times like these. RGA remains committed to helping our clients meet our shared responsibilities.

“Moving to first quarter results, our operating results were below our expectations, reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 virus and the turmoil in the financial markets. The net loss was primarily due to the movement in embedded derivatives, which reflected the disruption in the financial markets and the impact on credit spreads. The U.S. Individual Mortality business had elevated claims, attributable to an above-average frequency of claims. While cause of death and definitive COVID-19 impacts are difficult to establish at this time, we believe that some of these additional claims may have been COVID-19 related. The Asia Pacific Traditional segment was negatively affected by some catch-up in reporting of morbidity claims, primarily from one client. On a positive note, many of our segments/businesses performed well, including the Traditional segments in Canada and EMEA, U.S. Group, and Asia financial solutions business. Our Australia business performed better than expected and produced a modest profit. Premium growth was 3%, negatively influenced by foreign currency and some slowdown of growth in Asia given the pandemic.

“Despite the challenging environment, we continue to support our clients, and we executed on a number of in-force transactions, deploying $55 million of capital during the quarter. We repurchased $153 million in stock earlier in the quarter. We ended the quarter with an excess capital position of approximately $700 million.

“COVID-19 and its related effects will present challenges in terms of the potential for higher claims and increased investment credit losses. While it is premature to accurately predict the ultimate impact of this virus on RGA, we believe that we can manage through the environment, given our strong balance sheet, excess capital, ample liquidity, and an investment portfolio that is defensively positioned.”

The Asset-Intensive business reported pre-tax loss of $38 million, compared with pre-tax income of $65 million last year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called adjusted 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 adjusted 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, 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. The definition of adjusted operating income can vary by company and is not considered a substitute for GAAP net income.

Book value per share excluding the 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.

Adjusted operating income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as adjusted operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted operating return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as adjusted operating income divided by average stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI. Similar to adjusted operating income, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures better reflect the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the Company’s continuing operations, they also serve as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under RGA’s management incentive programs.

Reconciliations from GAAP net income, book value per share, net income per diluted share and average stockholders’ equity 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 “Financial Information” section.
