Reinsurance Group of America Reports Second-Quarter Results; Operating Earnings Per Share up 31 Percent
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 2008--Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE:RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance, reported net income for the second quarter of $110.7 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, compared to $77.5 million, or $1.20 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 to $109.7 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, from $84.6 million, or $1.31 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter, a 31 percent increase on a per share basis. Second-quarter net premiums rose 12 percent, to $1,358.6 million, from $1,207.6 million a year ago. Net investment income totaled $254.9 million versus $274.9 million the year before.
For the first half of 2008, net income totaled $142.2 million or $2.22 per diluted share, compared to $153.7 million, or $2.39 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Operating income totaled $180.6 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, compared to $166.7 million, or $2.60 per diluted share in the prior-year period, an 8 percent increase on a per share basis. Consolidated net premiums were up 14 percent, to $2,656.6 million from $2,333.1 million.
A. Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer, commented, "We reported a strong quarter with solid contributions from all our operating segments. The U.S. segment reported pre-tax net income totaling $109.2 million for the quarter versus $86.2 million the year before. Pre-tax operating income in that segment increased 17 percent to $109.2 million from $93.3 million the year before. Mortality experience rebounded from the first quarter as claims were at expected levels. Net premiums were up 5 percent to $754.4 million from $720.4 million in the prior-year quarter. On a year-to-date basis, net premiums have increased 6 percent, slightly below the low end of our guidance range of 7 to 9 percent.
"Our Canada operations reported a solid quarter, with pre-tax net income of $26.8 million compared to $24.2 million a year ago. Pre-tax operating income totaled $23.8 million versus $22.6 million a year ago. The prior-year result was characterized by very favorable mortality. Mortality experience in the current-year quarter was slightly favorable. Net premiums increased 14 percent to $139.5 million from $122.6 million in the prior year. Net premiums and pre-tax operating income for the second quarter of 2008 were favorably affected by currency exchange rates relative to the prior year by approximately $11.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as the Canadian dollar has strengthened since last-year's second quarter.
"Asia Pacific reported a strong quarter with pre-tax net income of $21.3 million compared with $15.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Pre-tax operating income totaled $22.8 million compared with $16.1 million a year ago. Claims experience was favorable in our three largest markets, Australia, Japan and South Korea. Net premium flow was robust, increasing 40 percent, to $277.7 million from $199.0 million. South Korea, in particular, reported strong premiums, as our efforts in this emerging reinsurance market continue to produce excellent results. On a year-to-date basis, South Korea is our fifth largest market, behind the U.S., UK, Canada and Australia markets, based on net premiums. Foreign currency fluctuations positively affected net premiums and pre-tax operating income by approximately $8.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, primarily due to a stronger Australian dollar and Japanese yen.
"Europe and South Africa results rebounded from recent poor mortality, with pre-tax net income increasing to $17.0 million from $11.8 million a year ago. Pre-tax operating income increased to $17.2 million versus $12.5 million last year, when we experienced somewhat higher claim levels in the UK. Net premiums increased 13 percent to $185.5 million. Foreign currency exchange fluctuations favorably affected both reported net premiums and pre-tax operating income by approximately $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, due to a stronger euro somewhat offset by a weaker British pound sterling.
"Our investment portfolio continues to perform well. Investment-related write-downs were less than $1.0 million. Those write-downs were largely due to our intent to sell certain securities in an unrealized loss position. Our subprime mortgage exposure remains modest at $256.8 million in book value, or less than 2 percent of total invested assets, with 66 percent rated "AA" or higher, including 26 percent in the "AAA" category. Approximately 13 percent of the subprime mortgage exposure, or $34.2 million, is rated below investment grade. We largely avoided investing in securities originated in the second half of 2005 and beyond, which we believe was a period of lessened underwriting quality. Unlike most companies in the financial services and life insurance sectors, our profits are primarily driven by mortality results. We do not stretch for investment yield and therefore our investment profile is conservative with 97 percent of our securities held in the investment grade categories."
Woodring concluded, "Results were very strong during the quarter, offsetting in part the weaker first-quarter results. Our results so far this year reflect the short-term volatility that is a part of our business. However, we continue to successfully execute our business plan, with our book value per share growing in the 13 to 14 percent range on a compound basis since our initial public offering in 1993. Additionally, at this time there are no arbitrations or claims disputes associated with our discontinued accident and health operations, and the remaining runoff activity of that business is not significant.
"On June 2, MetLife and RGA jointly announced a proposed transaction that could lead to MetLife disposing of its majority position in RGA. We believe the transaction will benefit our shareholders by, among other things, increasing the liquidity and public float of RGA's common stock and allowing management greater flexibility to deal with opportunities and challenges specific to our business. The transaction is subject to various conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals, and could be completed as early as the third quarter of this year."
The company also announced that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.09, payable August 25 to shareholders of record as of August 4.

Such an offer may be made solely by a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

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 certain 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.
