Consolidated net premiums totaled $2.5 billion, up 11 percent from last year’s third quarter, with favorable net foreign currency effects of approximately $18.3 million. Excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, investment income rose 16 percent over year-ago levels, reflecting a 7 percent increase in average invested assets. Variable investment income was strong this quarter compared to the year-ago quarter and the second quarter of this year. The average investment yield, excluding spread businesses, was up 38 basis points from the third quarter of 2016 to 4.81 percent, reflecting the strong variable investment income. The average investment yield was 21 basis points higher than the second-quarter yield due primarily to a higher level of variable investment income. The effective tax rate was approximately 33 percent on pre-tax GAAP income and pre-tax adjusted operating income for the third quarter, within an expected range of 33 to 34 percent.

Anna Manning, president and chief executive officer, commented, “This was an exceptionally good quarter, as bottom-line results were particularly strong and our top line remained vibrant. Furthermore, diversity of earnings sources, inherent to our global model, continues to be an important contributor to our success.

“A highlight of the quarter was the strong performance of the U.S. segment, driven primarily by very favorable individual mortality experience and above-average variable investment income. Earnings in our U.S. Traditional business segment reached a record level.

“We closed a number of smaller in-force and other transactions during the quarter, and we remain optimistic about the pipeline. We ended the quarter with an excess capital position of approximately $1.0 billion, after repurchasing approximately 209,000 shares for $26.9 million.

“Looking forward, we are well positioned in our markets, we have a proven strategy, and we are confident about our ability to continue to deliver attractive financial returns.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called adjusted operating income as a basis for analyzing financial results. Beginning with the announcement of first-quarter 2017 results, the Company modified the labeling of its non-GAAP measure “operating income” to “adjusted operating income.” 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, 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 shareholders’ 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.
