Reinsurance Group Of America Reports Fourth-Quarter Results; Provides Earnings Guidance For 2006
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 30, 2006--Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE:RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance, reported net income for the fourth quarter of $68.2 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, compared to $55.4 million, or $0.87 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 increased 32 percent to $73.1 million, or $1.15 per share, from $55.5 million, $0.87 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.
Fourth-quarter net premiums rose 16 percent to $1,060.1 million from $916.8 million a year ago. Net investment income totaled $169.4 million versus $168.2 million the year before. Approximately $12.0 million of the prior-period amount was due to the conversion of a large annuity treaty from a funds-withheld structure to a coinsurance structure.
A. Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer, commented, "Each of our operating segments contributed to a strong fourth quarter. The U.S. segment reported good results with pre-tax net income totaling $84.4 million for the quarter versus $71.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Pre-tax operating income totaled $90.1 million for the quarter compared to $77.5 million in the prior-year quarter, a 16 percent increase. Mortality experience for the quarter was within our range of expectations. For the year, the U.S. reported more than $2.4 billion in net premiums, a 10 percent increase over the prior year. Pre-tax operating income for the year totaled $271.8 million, down 6 percent from $289.5 million in 2004, due primarily to the adverse claims experience during the second quarter of 2005.
"For the quarter, our Canada operations reported pre-tax net income of $21.4 million compared to $20.5 million a year ago. Pre-tax operating income was up 21 percent to $20.8 million from $17.2 million. Mortality experience continues to be good. Net premiums increased $30.8 million, or 42 percent for the quarter, and totaled $103.4 million. Approximately $3.7 million of the increase in net premiums and approximately $1.0 million of the increase in pre-tax operating income were the result of a favorable currency exchange rate. For the year, pre-tax operating income totaled $83.2 million, up 34 percent from $62.0 million in 2004. Foreign currency fluctuations contributed approximately $5.6 million, pretax, to the 2005 results.
"Other International operations, which include our Asia Pacific and Europe and South Africa segments, reported a strong quarter. Asia Pacific reported pre-tax net income of $17.8 million compared with pre-tax net income of $2.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Pre-tax operating income increased to $18.2 million from $2.3 million. The current quarter reflected favorable mortality experience, while the prior-year period reflected poor mortality experience, including the effect of tsunami related reserves. Net premiums increased 26 percent to $136.4 million from $108.0 million. Foreign currency fluctuations adversely affected net premiums and pre-tax operating income by approximately $2.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
"Results in Europe and South Africa were also good, driven by favorable mortality in the UK. Pre-tax net income totaled $11.9 million compared to $4.0 million a year ago. Pre-tax operating income increased to $11.8 million from $3.6 million. The prior-period results reflected adverse mortality experience in the UK. Net premiums increased 12 percent for the quarter to $141.2 million. This rate of increase has lessened relative to previous years due to a slowdown in the UK primary market. Foreign currency fluctuations, primarily the British pound, adversely affected net premiums and pre-tax operating income by approximately $9.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
"For the year, our international operations contributed $75.6 million in pre-tax operating earnings, or approximately 22 percent of the consolidated total. While these results are inherently volatile on a quarterly basis, we have been pleased with the cumulative performance of the international operations when measured over the last several years. As the operations mature and grow, we expect the volatility to decrease.
"The Corporate and Other segment reported a pre-tax net operating loss of $26.0 million. That amount includes the impact of approximately $7.0 million, pretax, or $0.07 per share on an after-tax basis, in costs associated with commuting the majority of our remaining Argentine pension business. We negotiated the commutation of the two most significant treaties, and have now commuted over 95 percent of our obligations. The residual business is insignificant."
For the year, consolidated net income totaled $224.2 million, or $3.52 per diluted share, compared to $221.9 million, or $3.52 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Operating income totaled $225.5 million, or $3.54 per diluted share, compared to $224.6 million, or $3.57 per diluted share the year before. Operating income in 2005 benefited from net stronger foreign currencies by approximately $3.4 million, after tax, or approximately $0.05 per diluted share. Consolidated net premiums were up 16 percent, to $3,866.8 million from $3,347.4 million.
Woodring concluded, "It was a strong quarter, but we did not meet our full-year 2005 earnings expectation due primarily to the adverse claims experience in the U.S. during the second quarter and the negotiation of final settlements for the Argentine pension business. However, we did recoup some of that poor experience in the second half of the year and head into 2006 with good momentum. We expect continued growth in 2006; however, the pace of growth in our North American operations and select international markets, such as the UK, is expected to moderate. On a consolidated basis for 2006, we expect operating earnings per diluted share to be within a range of $4.00 to $4.50 and consolidated net premium growth of 10 percent to 15 percent."
The company also announced that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.09, payable February 27 to shareholders of record as of February 6. Additionally, Lisa M. Weber, a MetLife executive, resigned from the board of directors, and the board elected Georgette A. Piligian, senior vice president & chief information officer, corporate systems, MetLife, to fill the vacancy.

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 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.
