REINSURANCE GROUP OF AMERICA, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business
Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (“RGA”) is an insurance holding company that was formed on December 31, 1992. RGA and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is engaged in providing traditional reinsurance, which includes individual and group life and health, disability and critical illness reinsurance. The Company also provides financial solutions, which includes longevity reinsurance, asset-intensive products (primarily annuities), financial reinsurance, capital solutions and stable value products.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”).
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Consolidation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RGA and its subsidiaries, and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Entities in which the Company has significant influence over the operating and financing decisions but are not required to be consolidated are reported under the equity method of accounting.
NOTE 2 EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share on net income (in millions, except per share information):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Three months ended March 31, |
| | | | | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Earnings: | | | | | | | | |
Net income (numerator for basic and diluted calculations) | | | | | | $ | 212 | | | $ | 253 | |
Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest | | | | | | 2 | | | 1 | |
Net income available to RGA, Inc. shareholders | | | | | | $ | 210 | | | $ | 252 | |
Shares: | | | | | | | | |
Weighted average outstanding shares (denominator for basic calculation) | | | | | | 66 | | | 67 | |
Equivalent shares from outstanding stock awards | | | | | | 1 | | | 1 | |
Diluted shares (denominator for diluted calculation) | | | | | | 67 | | | 68 | |
Earnings per share: | | | | | | | | |
Basic | | | | | | $ | 3.20 | | | $ | 3.77 | |
Diluted | | | | | | $ | 3.16 | | | $ | 3.72 | |
The calculation of common equivalent shares does not include the impact of stock awards with a conversion price that exceeds the average stock price for the earnings period as the result would be antidilutive. The calculation of common equivalent shares also excludes the impact of outstanding performance shares awards as the conditions necessary for their issuance have not been satisfied as of the end of the reporting period.
NOTE 3 EQUITY
Common stock
The changes in number of common stock shares issued, held in treasury and outstanding are as follows for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)Represents net shares issued from treasury pursuant to the Company’s equity-based compensation programs.
Common Stock Held in Treasury
Common stock held in treasury is accounted for at average cost. Gains resulting from the reissuance of common stock held in treasury are credited to additional paid-in capital. Losses resulting from the reissuance of common stock held in treasury are charged first to additional paid-in capital to the extent the Company has previously recorded gains on treasury share transactions, then to retained earnings.
On January 23, 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $500 million of its outstanding common stock. The authorization was effective immediately and does not have an expiration date. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under this program.
Noncontrolling Interest
In 2022, Papara Financing LLC (“Papara”), a subsidiary of RGA Reinsurance Company, issued nonconvertible preferred interests to an unaffiliated third party.

(5)Benefit payments: The release of the present value, using the original discount rate, of the expected future policy benefits due to death, lapse/withdrawal and other benefit payments based on current assumptions.
Significant assumptions used to compute the liability for future policy benefits for the Financial Solutions business include mortality, morbidity, lapse rates and discount rates (both accretion and current). The Company updates the underlying market data used to determine the current discount rate resulting in changes to the discount rate assumptions used to measure the liability for future policy benefits.

Fair Value Measurement
See Note 12 – “Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities” for information about fair value measurement of assets and liabilities, except for market risk benefits.
Market risk benefits are classified within Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of market risk benefits is monitored through the use of attribution reports to quantify the effect of underlying sources of fair value change, including capital market inputs based on policyholder account values, interest rates and short-term and long-term implied volatility from period to period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no material changes made to the inputs in the market risk benefits calculations, and nonfinancial assumptions were unchanged.

NOTE 9 REINSURANCE
Ceded Reinsurance
Retrocession reinsurance treaties do not relieve the Company from its obligations to direct writing companies. Failure of retrocessionaires to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. Consequently, allowances would be established for amounts deemed uncollectible. The Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of the insurance companies from which it assumes and to which it cedes reinsurance. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no allowances were deemed necessary.
Retrocessions are arranged through the Company’s retrocession pools for amounts in excess of the Company’s retention limit. As of March 31, 2024, all rated retrocession pool participants followed by the A.M. Best Company were rated “A- (excellent)” or better. The Company verifies retrocession pool participants’ ratings on a quarterly basis. For a majority of the retrocessionaires that were not rated, security in the form of letters of credit or trust assets have been posted. In addition, the Company performs annual financial reviews of its retrocessionaires to evaluate financial stability and performance.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, Ruby Reinsurance Company (Ruby Re), a Missouri-domiciled life reinsurance company to reinsure U.S. asset-intensive business was launched with the Company as a sponsor. The Company, which is not an investor in Ruby Re, does not consolidate the entity.
Two reinsurance companies, including Ruby Re, account for approximately 74% of reinsurance ceded receivables and other as of March 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $12 million and $10 million of claims recoverable were in excess of 90 days past due, respectively. Also included in reinsurance ceded receivables and other is a deposit asset on reinsurance of $3.0 billion and $3.1 billion as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Funds Withheld
Certain of the Company’s retrocession agreements, including those with Ruby Re, are on a modco or funds withheld basis. While the economic benefits of the funds withheld assets are passed on to the assuming company, the Company retains legal ownership of the assets within the funds withheld account and established a funds withheld liability. Net investment income related to the funds withheld assets are reported in other reinsurance expense, and net realized gains (losses) related to the assets are reported net of the amount that is passed on to the assuming company. The following assets were held in support of the Company’s funds withheld arrangements and are reported in the line items shown in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in millions):

The Company had a $4,409 million and $4,483 million funds withheld payable, net of an embedded derivative asset of $190 million and $206 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company monitors its concentrations of financial instruments on an ongoing basis and mitigates credit risk by maintaining a diversified investment portfolio that limits exposure to any one issuer. The Company’s exposure to concentrations of credit
risk from single issuers, including certain agencies, greater than 10% of the Company’s equity are disclosed below, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in millions):

Allowance for Credit Losses and Impairments – Fixed Maturity Securities Available-for-Sale
As discussed in Note 2 – “Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements” of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report, allowances for credit losses on fixed maturity securities are recognized in investment related gains (losses), net. The amount recognized represents the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the net present value of its projected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed maturity security prior to the allowance for credit losses. Any remaining difference between the fair value and amortized cost is recognized in OCI.
The following tables present the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses in fixed maturity securities by type for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in millions):

Unrealized Losses for Fixed Maturity Securities Available-for-Sale
The Company’s determination of whether a decline in value necessitates the recording of an allowance for credit losses includes an analysis of whether the issuer is current on its contractual payments, evaluating whether it is probable that the Company will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security and analyzing the overall ability of the Company to recover the amortized cost of the investment.
The following tables present the estimated fair value and gross unrealized losses for the 6,101 and 5,788 fixed maturity securities for which both the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost and an allowance for credit loss has not been recorded as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in millions). These investments are presented by class and grade of security, as well as the length of time the related fair value has continuously remained below amortized cost.

The Company did not intend to sell, and more likely than not would not be required to sell, the securities outlined in the tables above, as of the dates indicated. However, unforeseen facts and circumstances may cause the Company to sell fixed maturity securities in the ordinary course of managing its portfolio to meet certain diversification, credit quality and liquidity guidelines. Changes in unrealized losses are primarily driven by changes in risk-free interest rates and credit spreads.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company modified two mortgage loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, providing interest only payments and maturity extensions. The total recorded investment before allowance for credit losses for the modified loans was $21 million as of March 31, 2024. The Company did not modify any mortgage loans during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The Company had three mortgage loans totaling $23 million that were on a nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2024. The Company had one mortgage loan in the amount of $19 million that was on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not convert any mortgage loans to owned properties through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company converted one mortgage loan in the amount of $17 million to an owned property through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Company did not acquire any impaired mortgage loans during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Policy Loans
The majority of policy loans are associated with one client. These policy loans present no credit risk as the amount of the loan cannot exceed the obligation due to the ceding company upon the death of the insured or surrender of the underlying policy. The provisions of the treaties in force and the underlying policies determine the policy loan interest rates. The Company earns a spread between the interest rate earned on policy loans and the interest rate credited to corresponding liabilities.
Funds Withheld at Interest
As of March 31, 2024, $3.3 billion of the funds withheld at interest balance is primarily associated with two clients. For reinsurance agreements written on a modco basis and certain agreements written on a coinsurance funds withheld basis, assets equal to the net statutory reserves are withheld and legally owned and managed by the ceding company and are reflected as funds withheld at interest. In the event of a ceding company’s insolvency, the Company would need to assert a claim on the assets supporting its reserve liabilities. However, the risk of loss to the Company is mitigated by its ability to offset amounts it owes the ceding company for claims or allowances against amounts owed to the Company from the ceding company.
Limited Partnerships and Real Estate Joint Ventures

Fair Value Hedges
The Company designates and reports the following as fair value hedges when they meet the requirements of the general accounting principles for Derivatives and Hedging: (i) certain foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency fair value exposure of foreign currency denominated assets; and (ii) interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate liabilities to floating rate liabilities. The gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to a change in interest rates or foreign currency and the offsetting gain or loss on the related interest rate or foreign currency swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows (dollars in millions):

Cash Flow Hedges
Certain derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges when they meet the requirements of the general accounting principles for Derivatives and Hedging. The Company designates and accounts for the following as cash flow hedges: (i) certain interest rate swaps, in which the cash flows of assets and liabilities are variable based on a benchmark rate; (ii) certain interest rate swaps, in which floating rate assets are converted to fixed rate assets; (iii) forward bond purchase commitments; and (iv) certain foreign currency swaps, in which the cash flows of assets are denominated in different currencies, commonly referred to as cross-currency swaps.
The following table presents the cash flow hedge components of AOCI, before income tax, and the condensed consolidated income statement classification where the gain or loss is recognized related to cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in millions):

As of March 31, 2024, approximately $40 million of before-tax deferred net losses on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI are expected to be reclassified to investment income during the next twelve months. For the same time period, approximately $10 million of before-tax deferred net gains on derivative instruments recorded in AOCI are expected to be reclassified to interest expense during the next twelve months.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no material amounts reclassified into earnings relating to instances in which the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transaction did not occur by the anticipated date or within the additional time period permitted by the authoritative guidance for the accounting for derivatives and hedging.
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
The Company uses foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to hedge a portion of its net investment in certain foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. The following table illustrates the Company’s net investments in foreign operations (“NIFO”) hedges and the gains (losses) deferred in OCI for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Foreign currency swaps | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | | | |
Foreign currency forwards | | 25 | | | — | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 25 | | | $ | — | | | | | |
The cumulative foreign currency translation gain recorded in AOCI related to these hedges was $208 million and $183 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. If a hedged foreign operation was sold or substantially liquidated, the amounts in AOCI would be reclassified to the condensed consolidated statements of income. A pro rata portion would be reclassified upon partial sale of a hedged foreign operation. There were no sales or substantial liquidations of net investments in foreign operations that would have required the reclassification of gains or losses from AOCI into investment income during the periods presented.
Non-qualifying Derivatives and Derivatives for Purposes Other Than Hedging
The Company uses various other derivative instruments for risk management purposes that either do not qualify or have not been elected for hedge accounting treatment. The gain or loss related to the change in fair value for these derivative instruments is recognized in investment related gains (losses), net, except where otherwise noted.
A summary of the effect of non-qualifying derivatives, including embedded derivatives, on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows (dollars in millions):

Netting Arrangements and Credit Risk
Certain of the Company’s freestanding derivatives are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements and reported as a net asset or liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company nets all derivatives that are subject to such arrangements.
The Company has elected to include all freestanding derivatives in the table below, irrespective of whether they are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or a similar agreement. See Note 10 – “Investments” for information regarding the Company’s securities borrowing, lending and repurchase/reverse repurchase agreements.
The following table provides information relating to the netting of the Company’s derivative instruments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in millions):

(1)Includes initial margin posted to a central clearing partner for financial instruments and excludes the excess of collateral received/pledged from/to the counterparty.
The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. Generally, the credit exposure of the Company’s derivative contracts is limited to the fair value and accrued interest of non-collateralized derivative contracts in an asset position at the reporting date. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had credit exposure of $14 million.
Derivatives may be exchange-traded or they may be privately negotiated contracts, which are referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives. Certain of the Company’s OTC derivatives are cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties (“OTC cleared”) and others are bilateral contracts between two counterparties. The Company manages its credit risk related to OTC derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties, maintaining collateral arrangements and through the use of master netting agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by one counterparty to another at each due date and upon termination. The Company is only exposed to the default of the central clearing counterparties for OTC
cleared derivatives, and these transactions require initial and daily variation margin collateral postings. Exchange-traded derivatives are settled on a daily basis, thereby reducing the credit risk exposure in the event of non-performance by counterparties to such financial instruments.
NOTE 12 FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Fair Value Measurement
General accounting principles for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. These principles also establish a three-level fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are defined through various characteristics for the measured asset/liability, such as having many transactions and narrow bid/ask spreads.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or market standard valuation techniques and assumptions that use significant inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the related assets or liabilities and include those whose value is determined using market standard valuation techniques described above. Prices are determined using valuation methodologies such as discounted cash flow models and other similar techniques that require management’s judgment or estimation in developing inputs that are consistent with those other market participants would use when pricing similar assets and liabilities.
For a discussion of the Company’s valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the fair value hierarchy, see Note 13 – “Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.
See Note 7 – “Market Risk Benefits” for information about fair value measurement of market risk benefits.

Changes in Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
Assets and liabilities transferred into Level 3 are due to a lack of observable market transactions and price information. Transfers out of Level 3 are primarily the result of the Company obtaining observable pricing information or a third-party pricing quotation that appropriately reflects the fair value of those assets and liabilities.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company has certain assets subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial recognition if they are determined to be impaired. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any material assets that were measured at fair value due to impairment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Other Than Fair Value
The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which were not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in millions). For additional information regarding the methods and significant assumptions used by the Company to estimate these fair values, see Note 13 – “Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report. This table excludes any payables or receivables for collateral under repurchase/reverse repurchase agreements and other transactions. The estimated fair value of the excluded amount approximates carrying value as they equal the amount of cash collateral received/paid.

NOTE 13 INCOME TAX
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 22.0% on pre-tax income. The tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to income earned in jurisdictions with tax rates greater than the U.S. statutory tax rate, Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), and Subpart F income which were partially offset with credits. The effective tax rate for the three months ending March 31, 2023, was 28.0%. The tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily as a result of income in jurisdictions with tax rates higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate, GILTI, Subpart F income and adjustments to the valuation allowance.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“the Act”) was enacted in 2022. For tax years ending after December 31, 2022, the Act imposes a 15% minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income for “applicable corporations” with average financial statement income over $1 billion for the previous 3-year period ending in 2022 or after. Based on the current guidance, the Company is not an applicable corporation for 2024. The Act also imposes a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks of a publicly traded corporation. The Act is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s tax expense.
Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act of 2023 on December 27, 2023. The Bermuda regime, which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, establishes a statutory tax rate of 15%, applicable to companies with annual revenue of EUR 750 million or more. This enactment did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results from operations.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development developed Model Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) rules under Pillar II establishing a Global Minimum Tax to ensure multinational enterprises with consolidated revenue of more than EUR 750 million pay at least an effective tax rate of 15% on income arising in each jurisdiction in which they operate. The GloBE model rules serve as a template to allow for each jurisdiction to modify and incorporate into domestic law. As of March 31, 2024, many of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates enacted Pillar II legislation into domestic law with an effective date of January 1, 2024. Guidance is expected to continue throughout 2024 and beyond. The Company continues to evaluate the expected impact of the new law.
NOTE 14 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The components of net periodic benefit cost, included in other operating expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (dollars in millions):

NOTE 15 COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES
Commitments
Funding of Investments
The Company’s commitments to fund investments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, are presented in the following table (dollars in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Limited partnerships and real estate joint ventures | $ | 1,025 | | | $ | 1,058 | |
Mortgage loans | 184 | | | 137 | |
Bank loans and private placements | 883 | | | 810 | |
Lifetime mortgages | 50 | | | 53 | |
The Company anticipates that the majority of its current commitments will be invested over the next five years; however, these commitments could become due any time at the request of the counterparties. Bank loans and private placements are included in fixed maturity securities available-for-sale.
The Company has an immaterial liability, included in other liabilities, for current expected credit losses associated with unfunded commitments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Funding Agreements
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines
The Company is a member of the FHLB and, through membership, has issued funding agreements to the FHLB in exchange for cash advances. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion of FHLB funding agreements outstanding. The Company is required to provide collateral in excess of the funding agreement amounts outstanding, considering any discounts to the securities posted and prepayment penalties.
Funding Agreement Backed Notes
The Company’s Funding Agreement Backed Notes (“FABN”) program allows RGA Global Funding, a special-purpose, unaffiliated statutory trust, to offer its senior secured medium-term notes to investors. RGA Global Funding uses the net proceeds from each sale to purchase one or more funding agreements from the Company. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $2.0 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, of FABN agreements outstanding and are included within interest-sensitive contract liabilities.
Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is subject to litigation and regulatory investigations or actions from time to time. Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending legal, regulatory and governmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in future or pending legal, regulatory and governmental matters, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, and indeterminate or potentially substantial amount of damages sought in any such matters, an adverse outcome could be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period. A legal reserve is established when the Company is notified of an arbitration demand, litigation or regulatory action or is notified that an arbitration demand, litigation or regulatory action is imminent, it is probable that the Company will incur a loss as a result and the amount of the probable loss is reasonably capable of being estimated.
Other Contingencies
The Company indemnifies its directors and officers as provided in its charters and by-laws. Since this indemnity generally is not subject to limitation with respect to duration or amount, the Company does not believe that it is possible to determine the maximum potential amount due under this indemnity in the future.
Guarantees
Statutory Reserve Support
Certain RGA subsidiaries have committed to provide statutory reserve support to third parties, in exchange for a fee, by funding loans if certain defined events occur. Such statutory reserves are required under the U.S. Valuation of Life Policies Model Regulation (commonly referred to as Regulation XXX for term life insurance policies and Regulation A-XXX for universal life secondary guarantees). In addition, certain subsidiaries have also committed to provide capital support to a third party, in exchange for a fee, by agreeing to assume real estate leases in the event of a severe and prolonged decline in the commercial lease market. Upon assumption of a lease, the Company would recognize a right to use asset and lease obligation. As of March 31, 2024, the Company does not believe that it will be required to provide any funding under these commitments as the occurrence of the defined events is considered remote. The following table presents the maximum potential obligation for these commitments as of March 31, 2024 (dollars in millions):
| | | | | |
Commitment Period | Maximum Potential Obligation |
2034 | $ | 1,243 | |
2035 | 1,909 | |
2036 | 3,599 | |
2037 | 5,100 | |
2038 | 2,550 | |
2039 | 8,751 | |
2041 | 720 | |
2046 | 3,000 | |
2049 | 4,750 | |
NOTE 16 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 – “Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report. The Company measures segment performance primarily based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. There are no intersegment reinsurance transactions, and the Company does not have any material long-lived assets.
The Company allocates capital to its segments based on an internally developed economic capital model, the purpose of which is to measure the risk in the business and to provide a basis upon which capital is deployed. The economic capital model considers the unique and specific nature of the risks inherent in the Company’s businesses. As a result of the economic capital allocation process, a portion of investment income is credited to the segments based on the level of allocated capital. In addition, the segments are charged for excess capital utilized above the allocated economic capital basis. This charge is included in policy acquisition costs and other insurance expenses.
The Company has geographic-based and business-based operational segments. Geographic-based operations are further segmented into Traditional and Financial Solutions businesses. Information related to revenues, income (loss) before income taxes and total assets of the Company for each reportable segment are summarized below (dollars in millions):

Overview
The Company is among the leading global providers of life reinsurance and financial solutions, with $3.7 trillion of life reinsurance in force and assets of $106.0 billion as of March 31, 2024. Traditional reinsurance includes individual and group life and health, disability and critical illness reinsurance. Financial Solutions includes longevity reinsurance, asset-intensive reinsurance, capital solutions, including financial reinsurance and stable value products. The Company derives revenues primarily from renewal premiums from existing reinsurance treaties, new business premiums from existing or new reinsurance treaties, fee income from Financial Solutions business and income earned on invested assets.
The Company’s Traditional business involves reinsuring life insurance policies that are often in force for the remaining lifetime of the underlying individuals insured, with premiums earned typically over a period of 10 to 30 years. To a lesser extent, the Company also reinsures health business typically reinsured for one to three years. Each year, however, a portion of the business under existing treaties terminates due to, among other things, lapses or voluntary surrenders of underlying policies, deaths of insureds, and the exercise of recapture options by ceding companies. The Company’s Financial Solutions business, includes significant asset-intensive and longevity risk transactions, which allow its clients to take advantage of growth opportunities and manage their capital, longevity and investment risk. The Company also works with partners to provide pension plan sponsors solutions that enable them to diversify and protect the benefits provided to the annuitants.
For its traditional business, the Company’s profitability largely depends on the volume and amount of death- and health-related claims incurred and the ability to adequately price the risks it assumes. While death claims are reasonably predictable over a period of many years, claims become less predictable over shorter periods and are subject to significant fluctuation from quarter to quarter and year to year. For longevity business, the Company’s profitability depends on the lifespan of the underlying contract holders and the investment performance for certain contracts. Additionally, the Company generates profits on investment spreads associated with the reinsurance of investment type contracts and generates fees from financial reinsurance transactions, which are typically shorter duration than its traditional life reinsurance business. The Company believes its sources of liquidity are sufficient to cover potential claims payments on both a short-term and long-term basis.
As is customary in the reinsurance business, clients continually update, refine and revise reinsurance information provided to the Company. Such revised information is used by the Company in preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements, and the financial effects resulting from the incorporation of revised data are reflected in the current period.
Segment Presentation
The Company has geographic-based and business-based operational segments. Geographic-based operations are further segmented into Traditional and Financial Solutions businesses. The Company allocates capital to its segments based on an internally developed economic capital model, the purpose of which is to measure the risk in the business and to provide a consistent basis upon which capital is deployed. The economic capital model considers the unique and specific nature of the risks inherent in RGA’s businesses.
As a result of the economic capital allocation process, a portion of investment income is credited to the segments based on the level of allocated capital. In addition, the segments are charged for excess capital utilized above the allocated economic capital basis. This charge is included in policy acquisition costs and other insurance expenses. Segment investment performance varies with the composition of investments and the relative allocation of capital to the operating segments.
Segment revenue levels can be significantly influenced by currency fluctuations, large transactions, mix of business and reporting practices of ceding companies, and therefore may fluctuate from period to period. Although reasonably predictable over a period of years, segment claims experience can be volatile over shorter periods. See “Results of Operations by Segment” below for further information about the Company’s segments.

The decrease in income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily the result of:
•Unfavorable results in the U.S. Financial Solutions business as a result of a non-economic loss recognized at the inception of a single premium pension risk transfer (“PRT”) transaction completed in the quarter. The non-economic loss at inception is the difference between the single premium received and the valuation of the initial reserve based on interest rates prescribed by U.S. GAAP.
•An increase in investment related losses resulting from portfolio repositioning and an increase in losses on freestanding derivatives.
•The increases in claims and other policy benefits and investment related losses were partially offset by an increase in net investment income attributable to an increase in average asset base and higher interest rates on new investments.
Foreign currency fluctuations can result in variances in the financial statement line items. Foreign currency exchange fluctuation increased income before taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024, by $6 million primarily due to the strengthening of the Great British Pound and weakening of the Japanese Yen compared to the U.S. dollar. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts discussed below are net of foreign currency fluctuations.
Premiums and business growth
The increase in premiums was primarily due to a single premium PRT transaction completed in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2024. The PRT single premium was offset by an increase in reserves. The remaining increase in premiums was attributable to organic growth on existing treaties and new business production, measured by the face amount of life reinsurance in force, of $109.1 billion and $80.6 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in premiums was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations of $12 million. Consolidated assumed life reinsurance in force increased to $3,729.8 billion as of March 31, 2024, from $3,426.7 billion as of March 31, 2023, due to new business production and a decrease in lapses and mortality claims, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.
Net investment income and investment related gains (losses), net
The increase in net investment income was primarily attributable to an increase in the average invested asset base and higher risk-free rates earned on new investments, partially offset by a decrease in variable investment income associated with joint venture and limited partnership investments:
•The average invested assets at amortized cost, excluding spread related business, totaled $38.5 billion and $35.9 billion in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
•The average yield earned on investments, excluding spread related business, was 4.70% and 4.71% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The average yield will vary from period to period depending on several variables, including the prevailing risk-free interest rate and credit spread environment, prepayment fees and make-whole premiums, changes in the mix of the underlying investments and cash and cash equivalents balances. Variable investment income from joint ventures and limited partnerships will also vary from period to period and is highly dependent on the timing of dividends and distributions on certain investments. Investment income is allocated to the operating segments based upon average assets and related capital levels deemed appropriate to support segment operations.
The increase in investment related losses, net is primarily attributable to the following:
•During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repositioned select investment portfolios generating net realized losses of $102 million compared to net realized losses of $44 million during the first three months of 2023.
•The Company uses various derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and foreign exchange forwards for risk management purposes that either do not qualify or have not been elected for hedge accounting treatment. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are included in investment related gains (losses), net. During the three months period ended March 31, 2024, the fair value of these instruments decreased by $99 million, compared to a decrease of $31 million during the first three months of 2023. See Note 11 – “Derivative Instruments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
•The decreases in investment related losses were partially offset by the following:
◦During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $20 million of impairments and change in allowance for credit losses on fixed maturity securities compared to $43 million during the first three months of 2023.
◦Changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives, associated with modco/funds withheld treaties, decreased investment related losses, net by $77 million for the three month period ended March 31 2024, compared to a decrease of $37 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023.
The effective tax rate was 22.0% and 28.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 13 – “Income Tax” for additional information on the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate.
Impact of certain derivatives, market risk benefits and non-economic changes in insurance liabilities on income before taxes
The Company recognizes in consolidated income any changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives on modco or funds withheld treaties and non-economic changes in insurance liabilities, such as the initial loss on PRT transactions, and changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives associated with equity index annuities (“EIAs”). In addition, the Company recognizes the changes in fair value of market risk benefits associated with guaranteed minimum benefit riders in market risk benefits remeasurement gains (losses). The Company utilizes freestanding derivatives to minimize the income statement volatility due to changes in the fair value of market risk benefits associated with guaranteed minimum benefit riders. The following table presents the effect of embedded derivatives, market risk benefits, related freestanding derivatives and non-economic changes in insurance liabilities on income before income taxes for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

Results of Operations by Segment
U.S. and Latin America Operations
The U.S. and Latin America operations consist of two major segments: Traditional and Financial Solutions. The Traditional segment primarily specializes in the reinsurance of individual mortality-risk, health and long-term care and to a lesser extent, group reinsurance. The Financial Solutions segment consists of asset-intensive and capital solutions. Asset-intensive includes coinsurance of annuities, corporate-owned life insurance policies, pension risk transfer (“PRT”) group annuity contracts and, to a lesser extent, fee-based synthetic guaranteed investment contracts, which include investment-only, stable value contracts. Capital solutions includes assisting ceding companies in meeting applicable regulatory requirements by enhancing the ceding companies’ financial strength and regulatory surplus position through relatively low risk reinsurance and other transactions. Typically, these transactions do not qualify as reinsurance under GAAP due to the low-risk nature of the transactions; therefore, only the related net fees are reflected in other revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
The following table summarizes income before income taxes for the Company’s U.S. and Latin America operations for the periods presented:

The decrease in income before income taxes was primarily due to the net impact of certain derivatives, market risk benefits and non-economic change in insurance liabilities in Financial Solutions. The non-economic change in insurance liabilities was primarily related to the initial loss recognized at the inception of a single premium PRT transaction completed in the quarter. The non-economic loss at inception is the difference between the single premium received and the valuation of the initial reserve based on interest rates prescribed by U.S. GAAP.

Income before income taxes for the U.S. and Latin America Traditional segment for the first three months of 2024 was relatively in line with the first three months of 2023, due to favorable claims experience period over period, primarily within the U.S. Individual Life business, offset by favorable impacts of in-force management actions in the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Revenues
•The increase in net premiums was primarily due to organic growth and new business treaties, as well as the recapture of a large retrocession treaty, effective April 1, 2023. The segment added new life business production, measured by face amount of life reinsurance in-force, of $41.0 billion and $34.1 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
•The increase in net investment income during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily due to a higher invested asset base in 2024 due to new business growth, partially offset by lower variable investment income period over period.
•Investment related losses in the three months ended March 31, 2024, were due to changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives on funds withheld at interest associated with treaties written on a modco or funds withheld basis.
Benefits and expenses
•The increase in future policy benefits remeasurement gains was attributable to favorable claims experience period over period, primarily within the U.S. Individual Life business, partially offset by favorable impacts of in-force management actions in the first three months of 2023.
•The slight decrease in policy acquisition costs and other insurance expenses as a percentage of net premiums was primarily due to varying allowance levels within coinsurance type arrangements and the mix of new business between coinsurance versus yearly renewable term.

Income before income taxes | | $ | 17 | | | $ | 114 | | | $ | (97) | |
The decrease in income before income taxes for the U.S. and Latin America Financial Solutions segment was primarily due to the net impact of certain derivatives, market risk benefits and non-economic changes in insurance liabilities.
The invested asset base supporting asset-intensive transactions decreased to $22.4 billion as of March 31, 2024, from $23.2 billion as of March 31, 2023.
•The decrease in the asset base was primarily due to $2.2 billion of net run off of existing in-force transactions and $2.6 billion associated with an in-force retrocession transaction, partially offset by $3.8 billion from new transactions.
•As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, $3.6 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, of the invested assets were funds withheld at interest, of which greater than 90% was associated with two clients.
As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount of reinsurance assumed in capital solutions transactions, as measured by pre-tax statutory surplus, risk based capital and other financial structures was $28.7 billion and $25.8 billion, respectively.
Impact of certain derivatives, market risk benefits and non-economic changes in insurance liabilities
Income from the Financial Solutions business tends to be volatile due to the impact of certain items such as changes in the fair value of certain derivatives, including embedded derivatives associated with reinsurance treaties structured on a modco or funds withheld basis, non-economic changes in insurance liabilities, which include the initial loss on PRT transactions, changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s reinsurance of EIAs and changes in the fair value of market risk benefits associated with guaranteed minimum benefit riders. Fluctuations occur period to period primarily due to changing investment conditions including, but not limited to, interest rate movements (including risk-free rates and credit spreads), implied volatility and equity market performance, all of which are factors in the calculations of the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
The following table summarizes the U.S. and Latin America Financial Solutions results and quantifies the impact of these embedded derivatives, market risk benefits and non-economic changes in insurance liabilities for the periods presented. Revenues before the impact of certain items should not be viewed as substitutes for GAAP revenues, GAAP benefits and expenses and GAAP income before income taxes.

Embedded Derivatives – Modco/Funds Withheld Treaties – Represents the change in the fair value of embedded derivatives on funds withheld at interest associated with treaties written on a modco or funds withheld basis. The Company’s utilization of a credit valuation adjustment did not have a material effect on the change in fair value of these embedded derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
The change in fair value of the embedded derivatives related to modco/funds withheld treaties increased income before income taxes by $89 million and $38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was due to tightening credit spreads on funds withheld asset balances and the impact of higher risk-free interest rates on funds withheld liabilities balances. The increase in the prior year was due to tightening credit spreads on funds withheld asset balances.
Non-Economic Changes in Insurance Liabilities – Non-economic changes in insurance liabilities include the initial loss on PRT transactions and changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s reinsurance of EIAs. The initial loss at inception of a PRT transaction is the difference between the single premium received and the valuation of the initial reserve based on interest rates prescribed by U.S. GAAP.
Market Risk Benefits – Represents the impact related to market risk benefits, which consist of guaranteed minimum benefits associated with the Company’s reinsurance of variable and equity-indexed annuities. The fair value changes of market risk benefits along with the changes in fair value of the freestanding derivatives (interest rate swaps, financial futures and equity options), purchased by the Company to substantially hedge the liability are reflected in revenues. The change in fair value of market risk benefits for guaranteed minimum benefits, after allowing for changes in the associated freestanding derivatives, decreased income before income taxes by $9 million and $12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Discussion and analysis before certain derivatives, market risk benefits and non-economic changes in insurance liabilities
The impact of certain derivatives, market risk benefits and non-economic changes in insurance liabilities discussed above are considered unrealized and non-economic by management and do not affect current cash flows, crediting rates or performance on the underlying treaties. Fluctuations occur period to period primarily due to changing investment conditions including, but not limited to, interest rate movements (including benchmark rates and credit spreads), implied volatility and equity market performance, all of which are factors in the calculations of fair value. Therefore, management believes it is helpful to distinguish between the effects of changes in these items as the primary factors that drive profitability of the underlying treaties are investment income, fee income (included in other revenues) and interest credited.
•Income before income taxes and certain items decreased by $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower variable investment income in the current year.
•Revenue before certain items increased by $1,794 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to premiums recognized on PRT transactions, which was offset by a corresponding increase in reserves.
•Benefits and expenses before certain items increased by $1,891 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in the current quarter was primarily due to the establishment of liabilities for future policy benefits associated with a new PRT transaction.
Canada Operations
The Canada operations are primarily engaged in traditional reinsurance, which consists mainly of traditional individual life reinsurance, and to a lesser extent, creditor, group life and health, critical illness and disability reinsurance. Creditor insurance covers the outstanding balance on personal, mortgage or commercial loans in the event of death, disability or critical illness and is generally shorter in duration than traditional individual life insurance. The Canada Financial Solutions segment consists of longevity and capital solutions.

The increase in income before income taxes for the first three months of 2024 was primarily due to increased net investment income and increased net premiums, partially offset by unfavorable claims experience related to closed longevity blocks.
Revenues
•The increase in net premiums was primarily due to increased volumes of closed block longevity transactions.
•The increase in net investment income was primarily related to an increase in invested assets supporting the segment and higher yields from fixed-income securities.
•The increase in investment related losses was attributable to higher investment related losses on fixed-income security sales associated with portfolio repositioning.
•The increase in other revenues was primarily due to new capital solutions business.
Benefits and expenses
•The increase in claims and other policy benefits was the result of increased volumes of closed block longevity and asset-intensive transactions.

The invested asset base supporting asset-intensive transactions increased to $18.6 billion as of March 31, 2024, from $14.4 billion as of March 31, 2023. The increase in the asset base compared to March 31, 2023, was primarily due to approximately $5.2 billion from recently executed transactions, partially offset by net organic decline of $1.0 billion from existing in-force blocks. The amount of reinsurance assumed from client companies, as measured by pre-tax statutory surplus, risk based capital and other financial reinsurance structures was $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Fees earned from this business can vary significantly depending on the size, complexity and timing of the transactions and, therefore, can fluctuate from period to period.
Revenues
•The decrease in net premiums was driven by lower contributions from single premium asset-intensive transactions.
•The increase in net investment income was the result of a growing asset base and improved yields from increased interest rates.
•The increase in investment related losses, net was attributable to a decrease in the fair value of derivatives of $46 million primarily due to weakening of the Japanese yen, partially offset by net gains from investment activity of $27 million.
•The increase in other revenues was driven by higher surrender charges and market value adjustments due to higher lapses on a single premium annuity block of business.
Expenses
•The decrease in claims and other policy benefits was the result of lower contributions from single premiums asset-intensive transactions as well as new asset-intensive business in the prior year.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other revenues primarily include investment income from unallocated invested assets, investment related gains and losses and service fees. Corporate and Other expenses consist of the offset to capital charges allocated to the operating segments within the policy acquisition costs and other insurance income line item, unallocated overhead and executive costs and interest expense related to debt and service business expenses. Additionally, Corporate and Other includes results from the Company’s Funding Agreement Backed Notes (“FABN”) program and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, that, among other activities, develop and market technology and provide consulting and outsourcing solutions for the insurance and reinsurance industries. The Company invests in this area in an effort to both support its clients and accelerate the development of innovative solutions and services to increase consumer engagement within the life insurance industry and hence generate new future revenue streams.

| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
The increase in loss before income taxes was primarily due to increases in investment related losses, interest credited, other operating expenses and interest expense, partially offset by higher net investment income.
Revenues
•The increase in net investment income was the result of higher income on Corporate invested assets due to higher yields and a higher asset base.
•The increase in investment related losses was attributable to $57 million of losses on sales of fixed maturity securities associated with portfolio repositioning in the first three months of 2024, partially offset by $6 million increase in change in fair value of derivatives, primarily related to foreign currency swaps, in the first three months of 2024 compared to a decrease of $29 million, primarily related to derivatives used to economically hedge disintermediation risk in the first three months of 2023.
Expenses
•The increase in interest credited was primarily attributable to new FABN issuances.
•The increase in other operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation expense.
•The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to an increase in outstanding debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The Company believes that cash flows from the source of funds available to it will provide sufficient cash flows for the next twelve months to satisfy the current liquidity requirements of the Company under various scenarios that include the potential risk of early recapture of reinsurance treaties, market events and higher than expected claims. The Company performs periodic liquidity stress testing to ensure its asset portfolio includes sufficient high quality liquid assets that could be utilized to bolster its liquidity position under stress scenarios. These assets could be utilized as collateral for secured borrowing transactions with various third parties or by selling the securities in the open market if needed. The Company’s liquidity requirements have been and will continue to be funded through net cash flows from operations. However, in the event of significant unanticipated cash requirements beyond normal liquidity needs, the Company has multiple liquidity alternatives available based on market conditions and the amount and timing of the liquidity need. These alternatives include the sale of invested assets subject to market conditions, borrowings under committed credit facilities, secured borrowings, and if necessary, issuing long-term debt, preferred securities or common equity.
Current Market Environment
The Company’s average investment yield, excluding spread related business, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 4.70%, 1 basis point below the same period in 2023. The average yield will vary from year to year depending on several variables, including the prevailing risk-fee interest rate and credit spread environment, prepayment fees and make-whole premiums, changes in the mix of the underlying investments and cash and cash equivalents balances. Variable investment income from joint ventures and limited partnerships will also vary from year to year and is highly dependent on the timing of
dividends and distributions on certain investments. Gross unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale decreased from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2023, to $0.9 billion at March 31, 2024. Additionally, gross unrealized losses increased from $5.6 billion at December 31, 2023, to $5.8 billion at March 31, 2024.
The Company continues to be in a position to hold any investment security showing an unrealized loss until recovery, provided it remains comfortable with the credit of the issuer. The Company does not rely on short-term funding or commercial paper and to date it has experienced no liquidity pressure, nor does it anticipate such pressure in the foreseeable future.
The Company projects its reserves to be sufficient, and it would not expect to be required to take any actions to augment capital, even if interest rates remain at current levels for the next five years, assuming all other factors remain constant. To mitigate disintermediation risk, the Company purchased swaptions to protect against a material increase in interest rates. While the Company has felt the pressures of sustained low interest rates, followed by the recent significant increase in risk-free rates, and volatile equity markets, its business and results of operations are not overly sensitive to these risks. Mortality and morbidity risks continue to be the most significant risk for the Company. Although management believes the Company’s current capital base is adequate to support its business at current operating levels, it continues to monitor new business opportunities and any associated new capital needs that could arise from the changing financial landscape.
The Holding Company
RGA is an insurance holding company whose primary uses of liquidity include, but are not limited to, the immediate capital needs of its operating companies, dividends paid to its shareholders, repurchase of common stock and interest payments on its indebtedness. The primary sources of RGA’s liquidity include proceeds from its capital-raising efforts, interest income on undeployed corporate investments, interest income received on surplus notes with RGA Reinsurance Company (“RGA Reinsurance”), RGA Life and Annuity Insurance Company (“RGA Life and Annuity”) and Rockwood Reinsurance Company (“Rockwood Re”) and dividends from operating subsidiaries. As the Company continues its growth efforts, RGA will continue to be dependent upon these sources of liquidity. The following tables provide comparative information for RGA (dollars in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

See Item 15, Schedule II – “Condensed Financial Information of the Registrant” in the 2023 Annual Report for additional financial information related to RGA.
The undistributed earnings of substantially all of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have been reinvested indefinitely in those non-U.S. operations, as described in Note 14 – “Income Tax” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Annual Report. As U.S. Tax Reform generally eliminates U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, the Company does not expect to incur material income taxes if these funds are repatriated.
RGA endeavors to maintain a capital structure that provides financial and operational flexibility to its subsidiaries, credit ratings that support its competitive position in the financial services marketplace, and shareholder returns. As part of the Company’s capital deployment strategy, it has in recent years repurchased shares of RGA common stock and paid dividends to RGA shareholders, as authorized by the board of directors.
On January 23, 2024, RGA’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $500 million of RGA’s outstanding common stock. The authorization was effective immediately and does not have an expiration date. In connection with this authorization, the board of directors terminated the stock repurchase authority granted in 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, RGA did not repurchase any shares under this program.
The pace of repurchase activity depends on various factors such as the level of available cash, an evaluation of the costs and benefits associated with alternative uses of excess capital, such as acquisitions and in force reinsurance transactions, and RGA’s stock price.
Details underlying dividend and share repurchase program activity were as follows (in millions, except share data):
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Average price per share | $ | — | | | $ | 134.64 | |
(1)Excludes shares utilized to execute and settle certain stock incentive awards.
In April 2024, RGA’s board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.85 per share. All future payments of dividends are at the discretion of RGA’s board of directors and will depend on the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, insurance regulatory conditions, operating conditions and other such factors as the board of directors may deem relevant. The amount of dividends that RGA can pay will depend in part on the operations of its reinsurance subsidiaries. See Note 3 – “Equity” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Company’s share repurchase program.
Debt
Certain of the Company’s debt agreements contain financial covenant restrictions related to, among others, liens, the issuance and disposition of stock of restricted subsidiaries, minimum requirements of consolidated net worth, maximum ratios of debt to capitalization and change of control provisions. The Company renewed its syndicated credit facility in the first quarter of 2023. Under the terms of the new facility the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth, as defined in the debt agreements, of $6.3 billion. Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2018-12, the minimum consolidated net worth, as defined in the debt agreements, was reduced to $5.8 billion effective with the June 30, 2023, covenant calculations. Also, consolidated indebtedness, calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, cannot exceed 35% of the sum of the Company’s consolidated indebtedness plus adjusted RGA Inc.’s stockholders’ equity. A material ongoing covenant default could require immediate payment of the amount due, including principal, under the various agreements. Additionally, the Company’s debt agreements contain cross-acceleration covenants, which would make outstanding borrowings immediately payable in the event of a material uncured covenant default under any of the agreements, including, but not limited to, non-payment of indebtedness when due for an amount in excess of the amounts set forth in those agreements, bankruptcy proceedings, or any other event that results in the acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $4.5 billion, in outstanding borrowings under its debt agreements and was in compliance with all covenants under those agreements. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the average interest rate on long-term debt outstanding was 5.09%. The ability of the Company to make debt principal and interest payments depends on the earnings and surplus of subsidiaries, investment earnings on undeployed capital proceeds, available liquidity at the holding company, and the Company’s ability to raise additional funds.
The Company enters into derivative agreements with counterparties that reference either the Company’s debt rating or its financial strength rating. If either rating is downgraded in the future, it could trigger certain terms in the Company’s derivative agreements, which could negatively affect overall liquidity. For the majority of the Company’s derivative agreements, there is a termination event should the long-term senior debt ratings drop below either BBB+ (S&P) or Baa1 (Moody’s) or the financial strength ratings drop below either A- (S&P) or A3 (Moody’s).
The Company may borrow up to $850 million in cash and obtain letters of credit in multiple currencies on its revolving credit facility that matures in March 2028. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no cash borrowings outstanding and no issued letters of credit under this facility.
Based on the historic cash flows and the current financial results of the Company, management believes RGA’s cash flows will be sufficient to enable RGA to meet its obligations for at least the next 12 months.
Credit and Committed Facilities
The Company has obtained bank letters of credit in favor of various affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies from which the Company assumes business. These letters of credit represent guarantees of performance under the reinsurance agreements and allow ceding companies to take statutory reserve credits. Certain of these letters of credit contain financial covenant restrictions similar to those described in the “Debt” discussion above. At March 31, 2024, there were approximately $53 million of outstanding bank letters of credit in favor of third parties. Additionally, in accordance with applicable regulations, the Company utilizes letters of credit to secure statutory reserve credits when it retrocedes business to its affiliated subsidiaries. The Company cedes business to its affiliates to help reduce the amount of regulatory capital required in certain jurisdictions, such as the U.S., Canada and UK. The Company believes the capital required to support the business in the affiliates reflects more
realistic expectations than the original jurisdiction of the business, where capital requirements are often considered to be quite conservative. As of March 31, 2024, $1.5 billion in letters of credit from various banks were outstanding, but undrawn, backing reinsurance between the various subsidiaries of the Company.
On March 13, 2023, the Company entered into a syndicated revolving credit facility with a five year term and an overall capacity of $850 million. See Note 18 – “Financing Activities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Annual Report for further information.
Cash Flows
The Company’s principal cash inflows from its reinsurance operations include premiums and deposit funds received from ceding companies. The primary liquidity concerns with respect to these cash flows are early recapture of the reinsurance contract by the ceding company and lapses of annuity products reinsured by the Company. The Company’s principal cash inflows from its invested assets result from investment income and the maturity and sales of invested assets. The primary liquidity concerns with respect to these cash inflows relates to the risk of default by debtors and interest rate volatility. The Company manages these risks very closely. See “Investments” below.
Additional sources of liquidity to meet unexpected cash outflows in excess of operating cash inflows and current cash and equivalents on hand also includes drawing funds under a revolving credit facility, under which the Company had availability of $850 million as of March 31, 2024. The Company also has $801 million of funds available through collateralized borrowings from the FHLB as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company could have borrowed these additional amounts without violating any of its existing debt covenants.
The Company’s principal cash outflows relate to the payment of claims liabilities, interest credited, operating expenses, income taxes, dividends to shareholders, purchases of treasury stock and principal and interest under debt and other financing obligations. The Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding reinsurance to other insurance enterprises or reinsurers under excess coverage and coinsurance contracts. See Note 2 – “Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Annual Report. The Company performs annual financial reviews of its retrocessionaires to evaluate financial stability and performance. The Company has never experienced a material default in connection with retrocession arrangements, nor has it experienced any difficulty in collecting claims recoverable from retrocessionaires; however, no assurance can be given as to the future performance of such retrocessionaires nor to the recoverability of future claims. The Company’s management believes its cash and cash equivalents as well as its current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next 12 months.
Summary of Primary Sources and Uses of Liquidity and Capital

Cash Flows from Operations – The principal cash inflows from the Company’s reinsurance activities come from premiums, investment and fee income, annuity considerations and deposit funds. The principal cash outflows relate to the liabilities associated with various life and health insurance, annuity and disability products, operating expenses, income tax payments and interest on outstanding debt obligations. The primary liquidity concern with respect to these cash flows is the risk of shortfalls in premiums and investment income, particularly in periods with abnormally high claims levels.
Cash Flows from Investments – The principal cash inflows from the Company’s investment activities come from repayments of principal on invested assets, proceeds from maturities of invested assets, sales of invested assets and settlements of freestanding derivatives. The principal cash outflows relate to purchases of investments, issuances of policy loans and settlements of freestanding derivatives. The Company typically has a net cash outflow from investing activities because cash inflows from insurance operations are reinvested in accordance with its asset/liability management discipline to fund insurance liabilities. The Company closely monitors and manages these risks through its credit risk management process. The primary liquidity concerns with respect to these cash flows are the risk of default by debtors and market disruption, which could make it difficult for the Company to sell investments.
Financing Cash Flows – The principal cash inflows from the Company’s financing activities come from issuances of RGA debt and equity securities, and deposit funds associated with universal life and other investment type policies and contracts. The principal cash outflows come from repayments of debt, payments of dividends to stockholders, purchases of treasury stock, and withdrawals associated with universal life and other investment type policies and contracts. A primary liquidity concern with respect to these cash flows is the risk of early contractholder and policyholder withdrawal.
Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations from those reported in the 2023 Annual Report, except for the following:
•The Company’s contractual obligations associated with payables for collateral received under derivative transactions increased from $150 million at December 31, 2023, to $427 million at March 31, 2024, primarily relating to an increase in derivatives during the quarter. See Note 11 – “Derivative Instruments” for further details.
Asset / Liability Management
The Company actively manages its cash and invested assets using an approach that is intended to balance quality, diversification, asset/liability matching, liquidity and investment return. The goals of the investment process are to optimize after-tax, risk-adjusted investment income and after-tax, risk-adjusted total return while managing the assets and liabilities on a cash flow and duration basis.
The Company has established target asset portfolios for its operating segments, which represent the investment strategies intended to profitably fund its liabilities within acceptable risk parameters. These strategies include objectives and limits for effective duration, yield curve sensitivity and convexity, liquidity, asset sector concentration and credit quality.
The Company’s asset-intensive products are primarily supported by investments in fixed maturity securities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet and under funds withheld arrangements with the ceding company. Investment guidelines are established to structure the investment portfolio based upon the type, duration and behavior of products in the liability portfolio so as to achieve targeted levels of profitability. The Company manages the asset-intensive business to provide a targeted spread between the interest rate earned on investments and the interest rate credited to the underlying interest-sensitive contract liabilities. The Company periodically reviews models projecting different interest rate scenarios and their effect on profitability. Certain of these asset-intensive agreements, primarily in the U.S. and Latin America Financial Solutions operating segment, are generally funded by fixed maturity securities that are withheld by the ceding company.
The Company’s liquidity position (cash and cash equivalents and short term investments) was $6.3 billion and $3.2 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Liquidity needs are determined from valuation analyses conducted by operational units and are driven by product portfolios. Periodic evaluations of demand liabilities and short-term liquid assets are designed to adjust specific portfolios, as well as their durations and maturities, in response to anticipated liquidity needs.
See “Securities Borrowing, Lending and Repurchase/Reverse Repurchase Agreements” in Note 10 – “Investments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the Company’s securities borrowing, lending and repurchase/reverse repurchase programs. In addition to its security agreements with third parties, certain RGA subsidiaries have entered into intercompany securities lending agreements to more efficiently source securities for lending to third parties and to provide for more efficient regulatory capital management.
The Company is a member of the FHLB and holds $63 million of FHLB common stock, which is included in other invested assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has entered into funding agreements with the FHLB under guaranteed investment contracts whereby the Company has issued the funding agreements in exchange for cash and for which the FHLB has been granted a blanket lien on the Company’s commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage loans used to collateralize the Company’s obligations under the funding agreements. The Company maintains control over these pledged assets, and may use, commingle, encumber or dispose of any portion of the collateral as long as there is no event of default and the remaining qualified collateral is sufficient to satisfy the collateral maintenance level. The funding agreements and the related security agreements represented by this blanket lien provide that upon any event of default by the Company, the FHLB’s recovery is limited to the amount of the Company’s liability under the outstanding funding agreements. The amount of the Company’s liability for the funding agreements with the FHLB was $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in interest-sensitive contract liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The advances on these agreements are collateralized primarily by commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage loans and U.S. Treasury and government agency securities. The amount of collateral exceeds the liability and is dependent on the type of assets collateralizing the guaranteed investment contracts.
Investments
Management of Investments
The Company’s investment and derivative strategies involve matching the characteristics of its reinsurance products and other obligations. The Company seeks to closely approximate the interest rate sensitivity of the assets with estimated interest rate sensitivity of the reinsurance liabilities. The Company achieves its income objectives through strategic and tactical asset allocations, applying security and derivative strategies within asset/liability and disciplined risk management frameworks. Derivative strategies are employed within the Company’s risk management framework to help manage duration, currency and other risks in assets and/or liabilities and to replicate the credit characteristics of certain assets.
The Company’s portfolio management groups work with the Enterprise Risk Management function to develop the investment policies for the assets of the Company’s domestic and international investment portfolios. All investments held by the Company, directly or in a funds withheld at interest reinsurance arrangement, are monitored for conformance with the Company’s stated investment policy limits as well as any limits prescribed by the applicable jurisdiction’s insurance laws and regulations. See Note 10 – “Investments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s investments.
Portfolio Composition
The Company had total cash and invested assets of $90.4 billion and $81.9 billion as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, as illustrated below (dollars in millions):

Investment Yield
The following table presents consolidated average invested assets at amortized cost, net investment income, investment yield, variable investment income (“VII”) and investment yield excluding VII, which can vary significantly from period to period (dollars in millions). The table excludes spread related business. Spread related business is primarily associated with contracts on which the Company earns an interest rate spread between assets and liabilities. To varying degrees, fluctuations in the yield on other spread related business is generally subject to corresponding adjustments to the interest credited on the liabilities.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended March 31, |
| 2024 | | 2023 | | Increase/ (Decrease) |
Average invested assets at amortized cost | $ | 38,483 | | | $ | 35,863 | | | $ | 2,620 | |
Net investment income | $ | 444 | | | $ | 415 | | | $ | 29 | |
Annualized investment yield (ratio of net investment income to average invested assets at amortized cost) | 4.70 | % | | 4.71 | % | | (1) bp |
VII (included in net investment income) | $ | 16 | | | $ | 39 | | | $ | (23) | |
Annualized investment yield excluding VII (ratio of net investment income, excluding VII, to average invested assets, excluding assets with only VII, at amortized cost) | 4.75 | % | | 4.45 | % | | 30 bps |
Investment yield remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2024, in comparison to the same period in the prior year, due to decreased variable income from real estate joint ventures offset by increased yield due to higher new money rates.
Fixed Maturity Securities Available-for-Sale
See “Fixed Maturity Securities Available-for-Sale” in Note 10 – “Investments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for tables that provide the amortized cost, allowance for credit losses, unrealized gains and losses and estimated fair value of these securities by type as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Important factors in the selection of investments include diversification, quality, yield, call protection and total rate of return potential. The relative importance of these factors is determined by market conditions and the underlying reinsurance liability and existing portfolio characteristics. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately 94.6% and 94.3%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated investment portfolio of fixed maturity securities were investment grade.
The Company owns floating rate securities that represent approximately 7.8% and 7.7% of the total fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These investments have a higher degree of income variability than the other fixed income holdings in the portfolio due to fluctuations in interest payments. The Company holds floating rate investments to enhance asset management strategies and match certain interest-sensitive contract liabilities.
The largest asset class in which fixed maturity securities were invested was corporate securities, which represented approximately 62.4% and 64.1% of total fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. See “Corporate Fixed Maturity Securities” in Note 10 – “Investments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for tables showing the major sector types, which comprise the corporate fixed maturity holdings as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s investments in Canadian government securities represented 5.6% and 6.5%, respectively, of the fair value of total fixed maturity securities. These assets are primarily high quality, long duration provincial strip bonds, the valuation of which is closely linked to the interest rate curve. These assets are longer in duration and held primarily for asset/liability management to meet Canadian regulatory requirements.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s investments in Japanese government securities represented 7.9% and 5.2%, respectively, of the fair value of total fixed maturity securities. These assets are primarily long duration government bonds matching the liability profile of the Company’s Japanese business.
The Company references rating agency designations in some of its investments disclosures. These designations are based on the ratings from nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, primarily Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. Structured securities held by the Company’s insurance subsidiaries that maintain the NAIC statutory basis of accounting utilize the NAIC rating methodology. The NAIC assigns designations to publicly traded as well as privately placed securities. The designations assigned by the NAIC range from class 1 to class 6, with designations in classes 1 and 2 generally considered investment grade (BBB or higher rating agency designation). NAIC designations in classes 3 through 6 are generally considered below investment grade (BB or lower rating agency designation). If no rating is available from a rating agency or the NAIC, then an internally developed rating is used.
The quality of the Company’s available-for-sale fixed maturity securities portfolio, as measured at fair value and by the percentage of fixed maturity securities invested in various ratings categories, relative to the entire available-for-sale fixed maturity securities portfolio, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was as follows (dollars in millions):

The Company’s ABS portfolio primarily consists of CLOs, aircraft, and single-family rentals. The principal risks in holding ABS are structural, credit, capital market and interest rate risks. Structural risks include the securities’ cash flow priority in the capital structure and the inherent prepayment sensitivity of the underlying collateral. Credit risks include the adequacy and ability to realize proceeds from the collateral. Credit risks are mitigated by credit enhancements that include excess spread, over-collateralization and subordination. Capital market risks include general level of interest rates and the liquidity for these securities in the marketplace.
The Company’s CMBS portfolio primarily consists of large pool securitizations that are diverse by property type, borrower and geographic dispersion. The principal risks in holding CMBS are structural and credit risks. Structural risks include the securities’ cash flow priority in the capital structure and the inherent prepayment sensitivity of the underlying collateral. Credit risks include the adequacy and ability to realize proceeds from the collateral. The Company focuses on investment grade rated tranches that provide additional credit support beyond the equity protection in the underlying loans. These assets are viewed as an attractive alternative to other fixed income asset classes.
The Company’s RMBS portfolio includes agency-issued pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Agency-issued pass-through securities are guaranteed or otherwise supported by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, or the Government National Mortgage Association. The principal risks inherent in holding RMBS are prepayment and extension risks, which will affect the timing of when cash will be received and are dependent on the level of mortgage interest rates. Prepayment risk is the unexpected increase in principal payments from the expected, primarily as a result of owner refinancing. Extension risk relates to the unexpected slowdown in principal payments from the expected. In addition, non-agency RMBS face credit risk should the borrower be unable to pay the contractual interest or principal on their obligation. The Company monitors its mortgage-backed securities to mitigate exposure to the cash flow uncertainties associated with these risks.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $5.8 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively, of gross unrealized losses related to its fixed maturity securities. The Company monitors its fixed maturity securities to determine impairments in value and evaluates factors such as financial condition of the issuer, payment performance, compliance with covenants, general market and industry sector conditions, current intent and ability to hold securities, and various other subjective factors. Based on management’s judgment, an allowance for credit losses in the amount that fair value is less than the amortized cost is recorded for securities determined to have expected credit losses.
Mortgage Loans
The Company’s mortgage loan portfolio consists of U.S., Canada and UK based investments primarily in retail locations, light industrial properties, and commercial offices. The mortgage loan portfolio is diversified by geographic region and property type as discussed further under “Mortgage Loans” in Note 10 – “Investments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Most of the mortgage loans in the Company’s portfolio range in size up to $40 million, with the average mortgage loan investment as of March 31, 2024, totaling approximately $10 million.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s recorded investment in mortgage loans, gross of unamortized deferred loan origination fees and expenses and allowance for credit losses, were distributed geographically as follows (dollars in millions):

See “Allowance for Credit Losses and Impairments” in Note 2 – “Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements” of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report and “Mortgage Loans” in Note 10 – “Investments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Company’s policy for allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans.
Allowance for Credit Losses and Impairments
The table below summarizes investment related gains (losses), net related to allowances for credit losses and impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three months ended March 31, |
| | | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Change in allowance for credit losses on fixed maturity securities | | | | | $ | (20) | | | $ | (38) | |
Impairments on fixed maturity securities | | | | | — | | | (3) | |

Other impairment losses | | | | | (1) | | | (4) | |
Total | | | | | $ | (39) | | | $ | (61) | |
The Company’s determination of whether a decline in value necessitates the recording of an allowance for credit losses includes an analysis of whether the issuer is current on its contractual payments, evaluating whether it is probable that the Company will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security and analyzing the overall ability of the Company to recover the amortized cost of the investment. See “Allowance for Credit Losses and Impairments” in Note 2 – “Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements” of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report for additional information.
See “Unrealized Losses for Fixed Maturity Securities Available-for-Sale” in Note 10 – “Investments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for tables that present the estimated fair value and gross unrealized losses for securities that have estimated fair values below amortized cost by class and grade, as well as the length of time the related estimated fair value has remained below amortized cost as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company classified approximately 9.9% and 10.6%, respectively, of its fixed maturity securities in the Level 3 category. Refer to Note 12 – “Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. These securities primarily consist of private placement corporate and asset-backed securities.
See “Securities Lending and Repurchase/Reverse Repurchase Agreements” in Note 10 – “Investments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the Company’s securities lending and repurchase/reverse repurchase agreements.
Funds Withheld at Interest
For reinsurance agreements written on a modified coinsurance basis and certain agreements written on a coinsurance basis, assets equal to the net statutory reserves are withheld and legally owned and managed by the ceding company and are reflected as funds withheld at interest on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the event of a ceding company’s insolvency, the Company would need to assert a claim on the assets supporting its reserve liabilities. However, the risk of loss to the Company is mitigated by its ability to offset amounts it owes the ceding company for claims or allowances against amounts owed by the ceding company. Interest accrues to the total funds withheld at rates defined by the treaty terms. The Company is subject to the investment performance on the withheld assets, although it does not directly control them. These assets are primarily fixed maturity investment securities and pose risks similar to the fixed maturity securities the Company owns. To mitigate this risk, the Company helps set the investment guidelines followed by the ceding company and monitors compliance. Ceding companies with funds withheld at interest had an average financial strength rating of “A” as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Certain ceding companies maintain segregated portfolios for the benefit of the Company.
Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets primarily include lifetime mortgages, derivative contracts, FHLB common stock and real estate held for investment. See “Other Invested Assets” in Note 10 – “Investments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a table that presents the carrying value of the Company’s other invested assets by type as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to protect the Company against possible changes in the fair value of its investment portfolio as a result of interest rate changes, to hedge against risk of changes in the purchase price of securities, to hedge liabilities associated with the reinsurance of variable annuities with guaranteed living benefits and to manage the portfolio’s effective yield, maturity and duration. In addition, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce the risk associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company uses exchange-traded, centrally cleared, and customized over-the-counter derivative financial instruments.
See Note 11 – “Derivative Instruments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a table that presents the notional amounts and fair value of investment related derivative instruments held as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. Generally, the credit exposure of the Company’s derivative contracts is limited to the fair value and accrued interest of non-collateralized derivative contracts in an asset position at the reporting date. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had credit exposure of $14 million.
The Company manages its credit risk related to over-the-counter derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties, maintaining collateral arrangements and through the use of master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by one counterparty to another at each due date and upon termination. As exchange-traded futures are affected through regulated exchanges, and positions are marked to market on a daily basis, the Company has minimal exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. See Note 11 – “Derivative Instruments” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments.
The Company holds $939 million and $944 million of beneficial interest in lifetime mortgages in the UK, net of allowance for credit losses, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Investment income includes $11 million and $10 million in interest income earned on lifetime mortgages for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Lifetime mortgages represent loans provided to individuals 55 years of age and older secured by the borrower’s residence. Lifetime mortgages are comparable to a home equity loan by allowing the borrower to utilize the equity in their home as collateral. The amount of the loan is dependent on the appraised value of the home at the time of origination, the borrower's age and interest rate. Unlike a home equity loan, no payment of principal or interest is required until the death of the borrower or sale of the home. Lifetime mortgages may also be either fully funded at origination, or the borrower can request periodic funding similar to a line of credit. Lifetime mortgages are subject to risks, including market, credit, interest rate, liquidity, operational, reputational and legal risks.
New Accounting Standards
Changes to the general accounting principles are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates to the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM.
See Note 17 – “New Accounting Standards” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on new accounting pronouncements and their impact, if any, on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of absolute or relative changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices or commodity prices. To varying degrees, the Company products and services, and the investment activities supporting them, generate exposure to market risk. The market risk incurred, and the Company’s strategies for managing this risk, vary by product. As of March 31, 2024, there have been no material changes in the Company’s economic exposure to market risk or the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management function from December 31, 2023, a description of which may be found in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2023, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to litigation and regulatory investigations or actions from time to time. Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending legal, regulatory and governmental matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in future or pending legal, regulatory and governmental matters, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, and indeterminate or potentially substantial amount of damages sought in any such matters, an adverse outcome could be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period. A legal reserve is established when the Company is notified of an arbitration demand, litigation or regulatory action or is notified that an arbitration demand, litigation or regulatory action is imminent, it is probable that the Company will incur a loss as a result and the amount of the probable loss is reasonably capable of being estimated.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The following table summarizes the Company’s repurchase activity of its common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) | | Average Price Paid per Share | | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (1) | | Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plan or Program |
January 1, 2024 – January 31, 2024 | | 75,025 | | | $ | 168.24 | | | — | | | $ | 500,000,000 | |
February 1, 2024 – February 29, 2024 | | 5,906 | | | $ | 171.03 | | | — | | | $ | 500,000,000 | |
March 1, 2024 – March 31, 2024 | | 12,436 | | | $ | 184.12 | | | — | | | $ | 500,000,000 | |
(1)The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under its share repurchase program in January, February and March 2024. The Company net settled – issuing 210,747, 15,755 and 34,407 shares from treasury and repurchasing from recipients 75,025, 5,906, and 12,436 shares in January, February and March 2024, respectively, in settlement of income tax withholding requirements incurred by the recipients of equity incentive awards.
On January 23, 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $500 million of its outstanding common stock. The authorization was effective immediately and does not have an expiration date. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under this program.
The pace of repurchase activity depends on various factors such as the level of available cash, an evaluation of the costs and benefits associated with alternative uses of excess capital, such as acquisitions and in force reinsurance transactions, and the Company’s stock price.
ITEM 5. Other Information
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”
