 PRESS RELEASE

REINSURANCE GROUP OF AMERICA REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS


Earnings per diluted share: operating income* up 10 percent to $1.77, net income $1.81
Results pressured by high mortality claims in North America; Asia Pacific posts strong results
Reported net premiums decreased four percent; up six percent net of foreign currency and the effect of fourth-quarter 2014 retrocession transaction
Approximately 2.5 million shares repurchased for $230 million during the quarter


ST. LOUIS, April 23, 2015 - Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE: RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance, reported operating income* of $121.8 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, compared with $114.8 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Net income totaled $125.1 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, compared with $136.7 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, the year before. The current period reflects higher-than-expected mortality claims in North America, offset, in part, by favorable results in Asia Pacific. A relatively stronger U.S. dollar versus all major foreign currencies adversely affected this quarter by $0.11 per share. The company has enhanced its international segment reporting to now include traditional and non-traditional components.

Consolidated net premiums totaled $2.0 billion this quarter, down four percent from last year’s first quarter. Current-period premiums reflect a $112 million reduction associated with the previously announced fourth-quarter 2014 U.S. retrocession agreement, along with adverse foreign currency effects of approximately $97 million. Excluding those effects, premiums increased six percent versus the prior-year quarter. Investment income increased six percent to $426.9 million this period, primarily due to a larger average invested asset base. Excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, investment income increased eight percent over year-ago levels. The average

investment yield was up four basis points to 4.78 percent over the first quarter of 2014, and 16 basis points lower than the fourth-quarter yield, which was influenced by a high level of mortgage loan prepayments and bond make-whole premiums.

The effective tax rate on operating income was 32.5 percent this quarter, slightly below management’s expected range of 33 percent to 34 percent. The company generated a greater-than-expected portion of earnings in jurisdictions that have lower income tax rates than the U.S. statutory rate, which, along with other adjustments, resulted in the lower-than-expected effective rate this quarter.

Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer, commented, “Our operating results improved versus a year ago, but were somewhat below our expectations, and reflect some elevated volatility in our segment results, with the U.S. Traditional business being unusually weak, and our Asia Pacific results unusually strong. On a positive note, we continue to have good balance overall, as our global model and diversified sources of earnings again served us well. Mortality claims in North America were considerably higher-than-expected, similar to last year, but to a greater extent. The strong international results continued the recent trends, in spite of material currency headwinds, due to broadly favorable results across Asia Pacific and materially favorable results in Australia.

“While there is typically a seasonal effect on our first-quarter results, the impact in North America was more extreme this year than in recent years. In the U.S., the higher claims this quarter were broad-based, with an influence from both frequency (claim count) and severity (average claim size), while last year there was a concentration in large claims in our facultative book. Some industry data would point to the severe winter weather and flu season as likely influences, but we do not yet have enough supporting information relative to this quarter’s claims flow to determine their precise effects. As we have emphasized in the past, we generally expect short-term claims volatility to moderate over time, and we have not changed our intermediate-term expectations.

“Given our strong excess capital position, we were fairly aggressive in repurchasing our stock in the quarter, as we repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares for a total cost of $230 million. After closing the Aurora National acquisition on April 1, our current deployable excess capital position is approximately $800 million, and we expect to continue to take a balanced approach to capital management as we consider in-force acquisitions, share repurchases, and shareholder dividend increases, or some combination of all of these. Our ending book value per share for the quarter was $107.62 including AOCI, and $79.26 excluding AOCI.”

SEGMENT RESULTS

U.S. and Latin America

Traditional

The U.S. and Latin America Traditional segment reported pre-tax operating income of $20.3 million, compared with $48.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, with results in both periods reflecting poor mortality experience. A higher-than-expected number and average size of individual mortality claims contributed to this quarter’s adverse experience, whereas last year’s first quarter was primarily affected by the amount of claims exceeding $1 million. The number of those large claims was in line with expectations this quarter, but the average claim size was higher. Traditional net premiums decreased

two percent to $1,114.1 million, including the retrocession agreement effective in last year’s fourth quarter, and increased seven percent excluding that agreement. Pre-tax net income totaled $17.8 million for the quarter, compared with $51.0 million in last year’s first quarter.
Non-Traditional

The Asset-Intensive business reported pre-tax operating income of $40.3 million compared with $41.0 million last year. Current-period results were in line with management expectations and reflected favorable net interest rate spreads. First-quarter pre-tax net income decreased to $42.1 million from $70.6 million a year ago, attributable to changes in the fair value of various embedded derivatives.

The Financial Reinsurance business continued to perform well, posting pre-tax operating income of $12.4 million for the current and year-earlier quarters. Pre-tax net income totaled $12.4 million in the current period and $12.5 million in last year’s first quarter.

Canada

Traditional

The Canada Traditional business reported pre-tax operating income of $17.2 million this quarter, down from $21.5 million the year before. Individual mortality claims were higher-than-expected and a weaker Canadian dollar adversely affected pre-tax operating income. Similar to the U.S. business, the first quarter is generally seasonably weak, and there were higher-than-expected mortality claims in the year ago quarter as well. There were higher-than-expected large claims in both periods, while this year's quarter was also influenced by a higher frequency of claims on policies under $1 million. Reported net premiums decreased six percent to $212.6 million, also including an adverse currency effect. Pre-tax net income totaled $22.7 million compared with $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Non-Traditional

The Canada Non-Traditional business segment, which consists of longevity and fee-based transactions, posted pre-tax operating income and pre-tax net income of $4.1 million this quarter and $0.6 million in the prior-year quarter. The current-period result includes the effect of the longevity transaction announced in March.

In total, an adverse foreign currency fluctuation lowered pre-tax operating income in the Canada segment by approximately $2.4 million during the quarter, and net premiums included an adverse effect of $27.4 million. In Canadian dollars, premiums increased eight percent over the first quarter of 2014.

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)

Traditional

The EMEA Traditional segment reported pre-tax operating income of $10.4 million versus a pre-tax operating loss of $2.1 million in last year’s first quarter. The current-period results include improved experience in the U.K. individual mortality business. Net reported premiums decreased eight percent

and totaled $269.7 million, compared with $291.8 million last year. Net foreign currency fluctuations adversely affected pre-tax operating income and premiums this quarter. First-quarter pre-tax net income totaled $10.5 million versus a pre-tax net loss of $1.0 million in the year-ago quarter.

Non-Traditional

The EMEA Non-Traditional segment includes asset-intensive, longevity and fee-based transactions. Pre-tax operating income increased 16 percent, to $18.6 million from $16.1 million a year ago. The stronger current period results reflect favorable longevity experience in the U.K. and the effect of transactions added in 2014. Pre-tax net income totaled $19.6 million this quarter, compared with $16.2 million in last year’s first quarter.

In total, adverse foreign currency fluctuations reduced net premiums and pre-tax operating income by $31.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Asia Pacific

Traditional

Asia Pacific’s Traditional business reported very strong results with pre-tax operating income of $52.6 million, a significant increase over the prior-year result of $18.7 million. Performance was strong across Asia Pacific operations, including our operations in Australia, Hong Kong & Southeast Asia, and Japan. In Australia, the first quarter is typically a seasonably strong one. This quarter’s results were unusually good, with favorable experience in several product areas. Reported net premiums rose two percent, to $372.1 million from $366.1 million in the prior-year period. First-quarter pre-tax net income totaled $52.6 million compared with $18.9 million in last year’s first quarter

Non-Traditional

Asia Pacific’s Non-Traditional business includes asset-intensive, fee-based and other various transactions. Pre-tax operating income in this segment increased to $10.1 million from $5.9 million last year. Pre-tax net income totaled $10.1 million this quarter and $7.4 million in the year-ago period.

In total, Asia Pacific reported premiums included an adverse foreign currency effect of $36.8 million. Local currency premiums increased 10 percent over the prior-year quarter. Pre-tax operating income was adversely affected by $5.2 million from currency fluctuations.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment reported a pre-tax operating loss of $5.7 million versus pre-tax operating income of $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2014, which benefited from certain accrual adjustments. Current-quarter results were slightly better than expected due primarily to lower expense levels. Pre-tax net losses were $8.0 million this quarter compared with pre-tax net income of $3.8 million a year ago.

The company has posted to its website a Quarterly Financial Supplement that includes financial information for all segments as well as information on its investment portfolio.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 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, 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 operating income can vary by company and is not considered a substitute for GAAP net income.

Reconciliations to GAAP net income 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 “Quarterly Results” tab and in the “Featured Report” section.

Book value per share before 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.

Operating income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Operating return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by average shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI.

Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated
Financial Supplement
This Financial Supplement is for information purposes only and includes unaudited figures. This report should be read in conjunction with documents filed by Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated ("RGA") with the SEC.
Non-GAAP Disclosures
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 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, 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 operating income can vary by company and is not considered a substitute for GAAP net income. A reconciliation of income before income taxes of the operating segments to pre-tax operating income (loss) is presented herein.
RGA evaluates its stockholder equity position excluding the impact of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) since the net unrealized gains or losses included in AOCI primarily relate to changes in interest rates, credit spreads on its investment securities and foreign currency fluctuations that are not permanent and can fluctuate significantly from period to period.
Additionally, RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called operating return on equity, which is calculated as operating income divided by average shareholders’
equity excluding AOCI.
