Reinsurance Group of America Reports Second-Quarter Results

July 24, 2006

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2006--Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE:RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance, reported net income for the second quarter of $63.6 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to $21.8 million, or $0.34 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 $69.1 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, from $20.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. Second-quarter net premiums rose 16 percent, to $1,076.6 million, from $931.4 million a year ago. Net investment income totaled $168.6 million versus $146.3 million the year before.

A. Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer, commented, "Our consolidated results were good, including strong premium growth. The U.S. segment reported solid earnings with pre-tax net income totaling $70.9 million for the quarter versus $27.3 million the year before. Pre-tax operating income rose to $78.5 million from $37.8 million the year before. Prior-year results were adversely affected by an unusually high dollar volume of large claims. Mortality experience for the current quarter was somewhat high, but within our range of expectations. Net premiums were up 15 percent to $663.9 million from $575.8 million. That rate of increase year-to-date totals 12 percent."

For the first half of 2006, net income totaled $132.7 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, compared to $88.4 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Operating income totaled $137.5 million, or $2.19 per diluted share, compared to $80.5 million, or $1.26 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Consolidated premiums were up 13 percent, to $2,069.0 million from $1,833.2 million. Woodring commented, "We are pleased with the results in the first half of the year and believe the markets in which we operate will continue to offer attractive opportunities throughout the remainder of the year.

"Turning back to the second-quarter results, our Canada operations reported pre-tax net income of $11.1 million compared to $10.8 million a year ago. Pre-tax operating income was down 2 percent to $8.9 million from $9.1 million. Mortality experience was adversely affected by large claims, but we expect claims flow to return to more normalized levels in subsequent periods. Net premiums increased 26 percent to $97.1 million from $76.9 million. Current quarter net premiums and pre-tax operating income benefited from a favorable currency exchange rate relative to the prior year by approximately $9.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

"Other International operations, which include our Asia Pacific and Europe and South Africa segments, were mixed, with strong results in Europe and South Africa more than offsetting slightly weaker-than-expected results in Asia Pacific.

"Asia Pacific reported pre-tax net income of $7.7 million compared with pre-tax net income of $11.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Pre-tax operating income decreased to $7.8 million from $11.3 million. Segment-wide claims experience was somewhat higher-than-expected. Net premiums increased 16 percent to $168.9 million from $145.0 million. Foreign currency fluctuations relative to prior year adversely affected net premiums and pre-tax operating income by approximately $3.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

"As was the case in the first quarter of the year, bottom-line results in Europe and South Africa were strong, driven primarily by favorable mortality experience in the UK. Pre-tax net income totaled $17.3 million compared to a pre-tax net loss of $6.8 million a year ago, when we experienced unfavorable mortality fluctuations. Pre-tax operating income improved to $17.4 million from a pre-tax operating loss of $6.7 million. Net premiums increased 10 percent for the quarter to $146.1 million, a good result considering the slowdown in the UK's primary insurance market. Foreign currency exchange fluctuations adversely affected reported net premiums and pre-tax operating income by approximately $1.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively."

Woodring concluded, "During June, we announced a securitization transaction which locks in long-term financing for statutory-based U.S. term life reserves at a rate similar to our existing short-term financing rate. A newly formed subsidiary, Timberlake Financial, L.L.C., issued $850.0 million of 30-year, floating-rate notes. The notes are covered by a third-party financial guarantee insurance policy and there is no recourse to RGA or its other subsidiaries. The transaction helps diversify our statutory reserve funding sources and eliminates refinancing risk. We were very pleased with the terms and execution of this securitization."

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.

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 realized capital 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.
