Consolidated net premiums totaled $2.3 billion this quarter, up 10 percent from last year’s second quarter, primarily due to organic growth and in-force transactions. Current-period premiums reflect net adverse foreign currency effects of approximately $45.7 million. Excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, investment income increased 7 percent over year-ago levels, reflecting an increase in average invested assets of approximately 10 percent, offset by the impact of lower yield on new money and reinvested assets. The average investment yield, excluding spread businesses, was down 17 basis points to 4.71 percent from the second quarter of 2015, but was 25 basis points higher than the first-quarter yield. Variable investment income was strong in both this quarter and the year-ago period, whereas it was weak in the first quarter of this year.

The effective tax rate was approximately 33.2 percent on net income, and was approximately 33.7 percent on operating income this quarter, slightly below an expected range of 34 percent to 35 percent. This was primarily due to generating a greater-than-expected portion of earnings in jurisdictions that have lower income tax rates than the U.S. statutory rate. The $0.12 per diluted share tax adjustment primarily affected interest expense; see further explanation in the Corporate section.

Greig Woodring, chief executive officer, commented, “We are pleased with the quarter in practically all respects, as the bottom-line number was very strong. In addition, there were positive developments in many areas across segments and geographies, and our investment results reflected higher-than-normal variable investment income. After a solid first quarter, our year-to-date EPS and operating EPS were up considerably over the year-ago period, despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds from lower interest rates and relatively weak foreign currencies. The negative effect of foreign currency translation on earnings year-to-date was equal to $0.14 per diluted share.

“Highlights of the quarter included improvement in Canada due to favorable mortality, continued momentum in our U.S. Asset-Intensive business, and another good quarter from Asia Pacific. Our U.S. Traditional operations reported its best quarter in some time, based upon strong variable investment income and mortality results that were in line with expectations. Finally, top-line growth was particularly strong this quarter, based upon solid organic growth and in-force transactions.

“We repurchased approximately 120,000 RGA common shares during the quarter, and we continue to pursue a balanced approach to capital management in terms of deployment into in-force and other attractive transactions, share repurchases, and shareholder dividend increases over time. The board of directors increased the quarterly dividend 11 percent to $0.41 per share. We closed some smaller in-force transactions during the quarter, and the pipeline continues to be healthy. Our deployable, excess capital position was approximately $1.0 billion at June 30, and included the effects of our senior notes and subordinated debentures offering. Ending book value per share this quarter was $118.32 including AOCI, and $87.33 excluding AOCI, a 9 percent increase over that of a year ago.

“Looking forward, the macroeconomic environment remains challenging overall, but we continue to see good demand from clients for our solutions. We expect to continue to execute in both our traditional and transactional businesses.”

SEGMENT RESULTS

U.S. and Latin America

Traditional

The U.S. and Latin America Traditional segment reported pre-tax net income of $111.4 million, compared with $82.8 million in the second quarter of 2015. Pre-tax operating income totaled $112.3 million for the quarter, compared with $79.4 million in last year’s second quarter. The current-period results reflected higher-than-normal variable investment income, the additive impact of in-force transactions and mortality experience that was in line with expectations, whereas last year’s second quarter was affected by elevated individual mortality claims.

Traditional net premiums increased 12 percent from last year's second quarter to $1,307.4 million.

Non-Traditional

The Asset-Intensive business reported pre-tax net income of $94.0 million compared with $55.8 million last year. Second-quarter pre-tax operating income totaled $54.3 million compared with $56.4 million last year. Results were strong in both periods due to favorable investment spreads, while the current quarter benefited from the impact of a recently added new in-force block as well.

The Financial Reinsurance business continued to perform well, reporting pre-tax net income and pre-tax operating income of $14.9 million, up slightly from $14.6 million the year before.

Canada

Traditional

The Canada Traditional segment reported pre-tax net income of $43.3 million compared with $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. Pre-tax operating income totaled $40.9 million compared with $23.8 million in the second quarter of 2015. The current-quarter's very strong results were primarily due to favorable mortality experience. The negative effect of a weaker Canadian dollar adversely affected pre-tax net income by $2.2 million and pre-tax operating income by $2.1 million.

Reported net premiums increased 7 percent to $240.1 million. Net premiums suffered adverse effects from foreign currency exchange rates totaling $11.6 million.

Non-Traditional

The Canada Non-Traditional business segment, which consists of longevity and fee-based transactions, reported pre-tax net income and pre-tax operating income of $2.1 million this quarter versus $3.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Pre-tax net income and pre-tax operating income included an adverse effect of $0.1 million due to a relatively weaker Canadian dollar.

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)

Traditional

The EMEA Traditional segment reported pre-tax net income and pre-tax operating income of $6.8 million versus $9.2 million in last year’s second quarter, reflecting unfavorable claims experience, most notably in the U.K.

Net reported premiums increased 4 percent and totaled $286.9 million, compared with $275.7 million in last year's second quarter. Foreign currency exchange rates adversely affected net premiums by $20.2 million.

Non-Traditional

The EMEA Non-Traditional business segment includes longevity, asset-intensive and fee-based transactions. Pre-tax net income totaled $27.5 million compared with $31.4 million in the year-ago period. Pre-tax operating income decreased to $26.1 million compared with a strong $31.8 million in the year-ago period. The current-period results showed continued favorable experience in both the asset-intensive and longevity business, while the year-ago period experience was unusually favorable. Net foreign currency fluctuations adversely affected pre-tax net income by $2.0 million and pre-tax operating income by $1.8 million.

Asia Pacific

Traditional

The Asia Pacific Traditional segment's pre-tax net income and pre-tax operating income rose to $34.5 million, from $4.3 million in the prior-year period. This quarter reflected solid results collectively across the Asian operations, most notably Hong Kong. Additionally, this year's results were modestly profitable in Australia, a significant improvement versus the year-ago period that reflected poor results in individual and group morbidity product lines. Net foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a favorable effect of $0.5 million on pre-tax net income and pre-tax operating income.

Reported net premiums rose 16 percent to $454.6 million from $390.5 million in the prior-year period, attributable to strong overall results in Hong Kong and the effects of new business, newer treaties in particular. Net premiums reflected a negative effect of $7.7 million from foreign currency exchange rates.

Non-Traditional

The Asia Pacific Non-Traditional business segment includes asset-intensive, fee-based and other various transactions. Pre-tax net loss in this segment totaled $0.1 million compared with a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million last year. Pre-tax operating losses were $6.0 million this quarter versus pre-tax operating income of $0.7 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily attributable to poor results in a small number of treaties. Net foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a favorable effect of $0.2 million on pre-tax net income and an adverse effect of $0.1 million on pre-tax operating income.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment’s pre-tax net income increased to $18.8 million contrasted with a pre-tax net loss of $8.7 million the year before. Pre-tax operating losses were $12.8 million, moderately higher than the year-ago pre-tax loss of $9.9 million, but less than a more typical run rate of approximately $20 million, attributable mainly to a reduction in tax-related interest expense resulting from the effective settlement of uncertain tax positions during the quarter.

Dividend Declaration

The board of directors increased the quarterly dividend 11 percent, to $0.41 from $0.37, payable August 30 to shareholders of record as of August 9.

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 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.

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.
