Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following non-GAAP financial measures are used in this document or in other public disclosures made by the Company from time to time:
1. Adjusted operating income, on apre-taxandafter-taxbasis, and adjusted operating income per diluted share. The Company uses these measures as a basis for analyzing financial results because the Company believes that such measures better reflect the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the Company's continuing operations. Adjusted operating income is calculated as net income available to the Company's shareholders (or, in the case of pre-tax adjusted operating income, income before income taxes) excluding, as applicable:
- substantially all of the effect of net investment related gains and losses;
- changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives;
- changes in the fair value of contracts that provide market risk benefits;
- non-economiclosses at contract inception for direct pension risk transfer single premium business (which are amortized into adjusted operating income within claims and other policy benefits over the estimated lives of the contracts);
- any net gain or loss from discontinued operations;
- the cumulative effect of any accounting changes;
- the impact of certain tax-related items; and
- any other items that the Company believes are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations
as such items can be volatile and may not reflect the underlying performance of the Company's business. In addition, adjusted operating income per diluted share is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. These measures also serve as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under the Company's management incentive programs.
- Adjusted operating income (on apre-taxandafter-taxbasis), excluding notable items. Notable items are items the Company believes may not be indicative of its ongoing operating performance which are excluded from adjusted operating income to provide investors and other third parties with a better understanding of the Company's results. Such items may be unexpected, unknown when the Company prepares its business plan or otherwise. Notable items presented may include the financial impact of the Company's assumption reviews on business subject to the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-12, "Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts" and related amendments, reflected in future policy benefits remeasurement gains or losses. - Adjusted operating revenue. This measure excludes the effects of net realized capital gains and losses, and changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives.
- Shareholders' equity position excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), shareholders' average equity position excluding AOCI, and book value per share excluding the impact of AOCI. The Company believes that these measures provide useful information since such measures excludeAOCI-relateditems that are not permanent and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, and may not reflect the impact of the underlying performance of the Company's businesses on shareholders' equity and book value per share. AOCI primarily relates to changes in interest rates, credit spreads on its investment securities, future policy benefits discount rate measurement gains (losses), market risk benefitsinstrument-specificcredit risk remeasurement gains (losses) and foreign currency fluctuations. The Company also discloses the followingnon-GAAPfinancial measures:
-
- Shareholders' average equity position excluding AOCI and B36, where B36 refers to the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld embedded derivatives;
- Shareholders' average equity position excluding AOCI and notable items; and
- Shareholders' average equity position excluding AOCI, B36 and notable items.
- Adjusted operating retuon equity. This measure is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by average shareholders' equity excluding AOCI. Adjusted operating retuon equity also serves as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under the Company's management incentive programs. The Company also discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures:
-
- Adjusted operating retuon equity excluding AOCI and B36;
- Adjusted operating retuon equity excluding AOCI and notable items, which is calculated as adjusted operating income excluding notable items divided by average shareholders' equity excluding notable items and AOCI; and
- Adjusted operating retuon equity excluding AOCI, B36 and notable items.
Reconciliations of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures (to the extent disclosed in this document) to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the Appendix at the end of this document.
