Exhibit 99.1 [RGA logo] For further information, contact Jack B. Lay Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (636) 736-7439 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - --------------------- REINSURANCE GROUP OF AMERICA REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER RESULTS; ------------------------------------------------------------ PROVIDES EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR 2005 ----------------------------------- ST. LOUIS, January 27, 2005 - Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE:RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance, reported net income for the fourth quarter of $55.4 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to net income of $56.1 million, or $0.99 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 15 percent to $55.5 million from $48.2 million, while diluted earnings per share rose 2 percent to $0.87 from $0.85 in the year-ago quarter. Fourth-quarter net income and operating income were both adversely affected by $7.5 million in pre-tax claims and reserves associated with the Indian Ocean tsunami, or approximately $0.08 per diluted share, after tax. Additionally, both net income and operating income in the current quarter include the negative effect of a $10.0 million pre-tax, or approximately $0.10 per diluted share after tax, increase in reserves associated with the reinsurance of Argentine pension obligations currently in run-off. Fourth-quarter net premiums totaled $916.8 million compared to $942.4 million a year ago, reflecting the inclusion in the 2003 quarter of six months of results from the company's transaction with Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz). Net investment income totaled $168.2 million versus $120.3 million the year before. Approximately $14.6 million of that increase was offset by additional amortization of deferred acquisition costs, a result of the conversion of a large annuity treaty from a funds-withheld structure to a coinsurance structure. - more - Add One A. Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer, commented, "We are pleased with the fourth-quarter results, particularly when you consider that they included our estimate of the impact of the devastating tsunami and the Argentine pension reserve strengthening. The U.S. segment reported good results for the quarter and year. Pre-tax net income totaled $71.8 million for the quarter compared with $72.4 million in the prior-year quarter. Pre-tax operating income totaled $77.5 million for the quarter compared with $58.0 million in the prior-year quarter, a 34 percent increase. Mortality experience for the quarter and the year as a whole was within our range of expectations. Pre-tax operating income in the U.S. Asset Intensive sub-segment benefited by approximately $3.2 million, pre-tax, from the aforementioned conversion of a large annuity treaty from a funds-withheld structure to a coinsurance structure. For the year, the U.S. reported more than $2.2 billion in net premiums, a 23 percent increase over the prior year, attributable in part to an entire year of premium production from the Allianz block of business. Pre-tax operating income for the year totaled $289.5 million, up from $210.6 million in 2003. "For the quarter, our Canada operations reported pre-tax net income of $20.5 million compared to $16.0 million a year ago. Pre-tax operating income was up 17 percent to $17.2 million from $14.7 million. The 2004 quarter includes a $1.6 million, pre-tax, provision for tsunami claims. Mortality experience continues to be favorable. Net premiums increased $11.6 million, or 19 percent for the quarter, and totaled $72.6 million. Approximately $5.2 million of the increase in net premiums and approximately $1.3 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 $62.0 million, up 34 percent from $46.1 million in 2003. "Other International operations, which include our Asia Pacific and Europe and South Africa segments, reported 18 percent growth in net premiums, increasing to $233.7 million from $197.5 million. Stronger foreign currencies contributed approximately $12.7 million to the premium growth. However, pre-tax net income and pre-tax operating income decreased from the prior year. Pre-tax net income totaled $6.5 million compared to $17.7 million in the prior-year quarter, which benefited from unusually high premium flows and favorable mortality results. Pre-tax operating income for the quarter totaled $5.9 million, a decline from $15.7 million in the prior-year period. Bottom-line results were adversely affected by $5.3 million, pre-tax, due to the tsunami in Southeast Asia. Additionally, adverse mortality in the UK and parts of Asia Pacific and various adjustments related to enhancements of our business administration process in - more - Add Two Australia totaled approximately $4.0 million, pre-tax. The enhancements to our business administration process were a reaction to the increasing levels of business within that segment and our desire to improve the reliability of that administration function. Foreign currency appreciation contributed approximately $0.5 million to current quarter pre-tax operating income. As previously indicated, quarterly results in these newer operations may be more volatile than our North American operations due to the smaller size and relative aging of this business. For the year, our international operations reported pre-tax operating income of $38.5 million, up from $36.3 million in 2003. "The Corporate segment reported a pre-tax net operating loss of $18.9 million. That amount includes the impact of the $10.0 million in additional reserves for the Argentine pension business. We thought it was appropriate to add to our Argentine pension reserves given the pattern of claims development to date. This business will likely be in a run-off status for another two years or so." Fourth-quarter results benefited from a lower effective tax rate as a result of reduced federal income taxes associated with the favorable resolution of a tax position taken by the company. The related reduction in tax liabilities amounted to $1.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. For the year, consolidated net income totaled $221.9 million, or $3.52 per diluted share, compared to $173.1 million, or $3.36 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Operating income increased to $224.6 million, or $3.57 per diluted share, from $166.2 million, or $3.22 per diluted share the year before, an 11 percent increase on a per-share basis. Operating income in 2004 benefited from stronger foreign currencies by approximately $4.6 million, after tax, compared to the prior year, or approximately $0.07 per diluted share. Consolidated net premiums were up 27 percent, to $3,347.4 million from $2,643.2 million. Woodring concluded, "We have completed what we consider to be a very successful year. The $3.57 per diluted share in operating earnings exceeds the midpoint of the guidance range that we provided last January, and we had a strong year in terms of premium growth. Our success in 2004 is a continuation of the good results that we have seen for several years, and we head into 2005 on solid footing in terms of our market position and financial strength. Specifically, for 2005, we expect consolidated operating earnings per diluted share to be within a range of $3.85 to $4.15 and consolidated net premium growth of 15 percent to 20 percent." - more - Add Three The company also announced that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.09, payable February 28 to shareholders of record as of February 7.

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.
