American Equity Reports First Quarter 2015 Results
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (April 29, 2015) - American Equity Investment Life Holding Company (NYSE: AEL), a leading issuer of fixed index annuities, today reported first quarter 2015 net income of $5.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share, compared to a first quarter 2014 net loss of $9.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share.
Non-GAAP operating income1 for the first quarter of 2015 was $48.8 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share, compared to first quarter 2014 non-GAAP operating income1 of $37.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted common share.
Highlights for the first quarter of 2015 include:
| |
▪ | Annuity sales (before coinsurance) were up 43% to $1.32 billion compared to first quarter 2014 annuity sales of $921 million. |
| |
▪ | Investment spread was 2.77% compared to 2.92% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2.77% for the first quarter of 2014. |
| |
▪ | Estimated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio of 361% at March 31, 2015 compared to 372% at December 31, 2014 remained above A. M. Best’s rating threshold. |
| |
▪ | Book value per share (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income) was $18.63 at March 31, 2015 compared to $18.52 at December 31, 2014. |
| |
1 | In addition to net income (loss), we have consistently utilized operating income and operating income per common share - assuming dilution, non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in the life insurance industry, as economic measures to evaluate our financial performance. See accompanying tables for reconciliations of net income (loss) to operating income and descriptions of reconciling items. See Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a more complete discussion of the reconciling items and their impact on net income for the periods presented. Because these items fluctuate from period to period in a manner unrelated to core operations, we believe measures excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of operating income together with net income (loss), provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our underlying results and profitability. |
Commenting on first quarter results, founder and Executive Chairman David J. Noble said: “2015 is off to an excellent start and we're positioned for another solid year of financial performance with the potential for much higher sales than last year. Our products continue to deliver attractive safe money returns and value to Americans preparing for or enjoying their retirement."
PRODUCTION UP 43% ON MORE FAVORABLE COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT
First quarter sales of $1.3 billion were up 43% from the prior year first quarter and contributed to a 3.1% increase in policyholder liabilities under management. These sales included $122 million from Eagle Life which surpassed Eagle Life's full year sales in 2014. The competitive dynamic in the fixed index annuity marketplace changed significantly in early March with the withdrawal of a competitor's product that offered one of the highest levels of guaranteed income in the marketplace for the past several years. This product has been the source of significant competition for sales and was the second best selling fixed index annuity product in the fourth quarter of 2014. New business activity began to escalate in February when a reduction in new money rates that was effective in early March was announced. The pending count entering March 2015 was at 3,800 cases and grew to 4,300 cases at the end of the first quarter and 5,000 cases as of today. The peak count in April was 5,200 cases.
Commenting on the competitive environment and the outlook for sales, John Matovina, Chief Executive Officer and President, said: "Annual sales the past three years have ranged from $3.9 billion to $4.2 billion as we remained disciplined in our product terms and pricing and were unwilling to pursue market share at the expense of profitability. Based upon current indications, our patience and discipline the past three years are being rewarded with higher sales in 2015 and the competitive environment is favorable to us. While competition can surface at any time, we are not presently aware of any new competitive threats."
SPREAD NARROWS ON REDUCTION IN BOND FEE INCOME
American Equity’s investment spread narrowed to 2.77% for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2.92% for the fourth quarter of 2014 as a result of a decrease in average yield on invested assets which was 0.15% larger than the decrease in the cost of money. The investment spread for the first quarter of 2015 was unchanged from the investment spread for the first quarter of 2014.
Average yield on invested assets declined by 21 basis points to 4.74% for the first quarter of 2015 from 4.95% for the fourth quarter of 2014. More than half of this decrease was attributable to fee income from bond transactions which together with certain prepayment income added 0.13% to the fourth quarter 2014 average yield on invested assets compared to 0.01% from such items in the first quarter of 2015.
Adjusting for the effect of these non-trendable items, the average yield on invested assets for the quarter fell by 9 basis points from the prior quarter as new premiums and portfolio cash flows were invested at rates below the portfolio rate. The average yield on fixed income securities purchased and commercial mortgage loans funded in the first quarter of 2015 was 3.84%, compared to average yields ranging from 4.14% - 4.27% in the prior year quarters.
The aggregate cost of money for annuity liabilities declined by 6 basis points to 1.97% in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 2.03% in the fourth quarter of 2014. This decrease reflected continued reductions in crediting rates. The benefit from over hedging the obligations for index linked interest was 0.07% in the first quarter of 2015 and 0.05% in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Commenting on investment spread, John Matovina, said: “Low interest rates remain a headwind to our spread management and the benefit we received in the quarter from reductions in liability rates was offset by lower rates on invested assets purchased or funded. Investment yields in 2015 have been lower than those available in 2014 and achieving a 4.00% average yield on new investments is not possible without taking on risk that is beyond our comfort level. However, we continue to be proactive in managing our cost of money. We reduced our new money rates by approximately 0.20% in early March and continue to actively manage renewal rates. Most of the renewal rate reductions that were initiated in 2014 have been implemented as of the end of the first quarter of 2015 and we are making additional reductions in 2015. We continue to have flexibility in managing our cost of money and could achieve approximately a 0.55% decrease in our cost of money from further reductions in renewal rates to guaranteed minimums should the investment yields currently available to us persist.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to net income (loss), we have consistently utilized operating income and operating income per common share - assuming dilution, non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in the life insurance industry, as economic measures to evaluate our financial performance. Operating income equals net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of net realized gains and losses on investments including net OTTI losses recognized in operations, fair value changes in derivatives and embedded derivatives, loss on extinguishment of debt and changes in litigation reserves. Because these items fluctuate from quarter to quarter in a manner unrelated to core operations, we believe measures excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of operating income together with net income (loss) provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our underlying results and profitability.

(c) | Q2 2014 includes a benefit of $62.6 million from the revision of assumptions used in determining fixed index annuity embedded derivatives, which after related adjustments to deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes, increased net income and earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $14.8 million and $0.19 per share, respectively. |
| |
(d) | Q1 2014 includes a net benefit of $2.2 million from recognizing a decrease in an estimated class action litigation reserve based upon developments in the claim process for settlement of the class action and third party costs incurred during the quarter associated with administration of the settlement, which after related adjustments to amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes, decreased net loss and loss per common share - assuming dilution by $0.9 million and $0.01 per share, respectively. |

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to net income (loss), we have consistently utilized operating income and operating income per common share - assuming dilution, non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in the life insurance industry, as economic measures to evaluate our financial performance. Operating income equals net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of net realized gains and losses on investments including net OTTI losses recognized in operations, fair value changes in derivatives and embedded derivatives, loss on extinguishment of debt and changes in litigation reserves. Because these items fluctuate from quarter to quarter in a manner unrelated to core operations, we believe measures excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of operating income together with net income (loss) provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our underlying results and profitability.

| |
(a) | Total capitalization, total stockholders’ equity and book value per share excluding AOCI, non-GAAP financial measures, are based on stockholders’ equity excluding the effect of AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information. |

(b) | Common shares outstanding include shares held by the NMO Deferred Compensation Trust: 2015 - 230,012 shares; 2014 - 543,120 shares |
| |
(c) | Book value per share including and excluding AOCI is calculated as total stockholders’ equity and total stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. |
| |
(d) | Debt-to-capital ratios are computed using total capitalization excluding AOCI. Adjusted debt includes notes payable and the portion of the total subordinated debentures payable to subsidiary trusts outstanding (qualifying trust preferred securities) that exceeds 15% of total capitalization excluding AOCI. |
