Reinsurance Group of America Reports Third-Quarter Results

October 23, 2006

ST. LOUIS, Oct 23, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE:RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance, reported net income for the third quarter of $74.0 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $67.6 million, or $1.06 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 $74.7 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, from $71.8 million, or $1.13 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. Third-quarter net premiums rose 11 percent, to $1,076.2 million, from $973.5 million a year ago. Net investment income totaled $183.4 million versus $166.5 million the year before.

A. Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer, commented, "We are pleased with the results for the quarter. Each of our operating segments contributed to solid top and bottom-line results and our international operations continue to increase their contribution to the consolidated results.

"The U.S. segment reported solid earnings with pre-tax net income totaling $84.8 million for the quarter versus $85.8 million the year before. Pre-tax operating income totaled $84.9 million versus $86.7 million the year before. Prior-year results were quite strong, with favorable mortality. Mortality experience for the current quarter was within our range of expectations. Net premiums were up 6 percent to $648.1 million from $611.4 million in the prior-year quarter, when premium levels were quite strong. Through nine months, premiums increased 10 percent, at the top end of our expected range."

For the first nine months of 2006, consolidated net income totaled $206.7 million, or $3.29 per diluted share, compared to $156.0 million, or $2.45 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Operating income increased 39 percent to $212.2 million, or $3.38 per diluted share, from $152.3 million, or $2.39 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Consolidated premiums were up 12 percent, to $3,145.2 million from $2,806.7 million. Woodring commented, "Year-to-date results are tracking well as we enter the fourth quarter. We do not anticipate any meaningful changes in competition or the pricing environment during the remainder of the year.

"Turning back to the third-quarter results, our Canada operations reported pre-tax net income of $13.5 million compared to $11.7 million a year ago. Pre-tax operating income increased to $12.1 million from $11.1 million. Claims flow returned to more normalized levels compared to the first six months of the year. Net premiums increased 16 percent to $103.3 million from $89.1 million. Net premiums and pre-tax operating income for the 2006 period benefited from a favorable currency exchange rate relative to the prior year by approximately $6.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

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

"Asia Pacific reported pre-tax net income and pre-tax operating income of $20.4 million compared with $1.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Segment-wide claims experience was good during the current quarter, while the prior-year quarter claims experience was unfavorable which led to the increased earnings level. Stronger premium flow also contributed to the bottom line as net premiums increased 32 percent to $178.5 million from $135.3 million. Foreign currency fluctuations favorably affected net premiums and pre-tax operating income by approximately $1.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

"Europe and South Africa results were down for the quarter, with pre-tax net income totaling $8.8 million compared to $15.7 million a year ago, when mortality experience was quite favorable. Pre-tax operating income totaled $8.9 million versus $15.7 million last year. Net premiums increased 6 percent for the quarter to $145.8 million. Foreign currency exchange fluctuations favorably affected reported net premiums and pre-tax operating income by approximately $4.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Year-to-date, however, Europe and South Africa results were very strong."

Woodring concluded, "Our performance so far this year has been very gratifying and reflects RGA's continued evolution toward a global leadership franchise in life reinsurance. We have also created significant shareholder value with year-over-year book value per share growth that exceeds 12 percent."

The company also announced that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.09, payable November 29 to shareholders of record as of November 8.

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 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.
