Adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income, excluding notable items for the fourth quarter totaled $334 million, or $4.99 per diluted share, compared with $316 million, or $4.73 per diluted share, the year before. Net foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable effect of $0.07 per diluted share on net income available to RGA shareholders, and $0.09 per diluted share on adjusted operating income, both as compared with the prior year.

Full year net income available to RGA shareholders totaled $717 million, or $10.73 per diluted share, compared with $902 million, or $13.44 per diluted share the year before. Adjusted operating income for the full year totaled $1,342 million, or $20.06 per diluted share, compared with $1,334 million, or $19.88 per diluted share the year before. Adjusted operating income, excluding notable items for the full year totaled $1,510 million, or $22.57 per diluted share, compared with $1,334 million, or $19.88 per diluted share the year before. Net foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable effect of $0.18 per diluted share on net income available to RGA shareholders, and $0.06 per diluted share on adjusted operating income, both as compared with the year before.

Tony Cheng, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The fourth quarter capped off a tremendous year, as we delivered record annual operating earnings, with many achievements across our organization. In the quarter, we continued to see strong momentum in organic business activity in the traditional business, and our in-force transactions were solid, with $250 million of capital deployed. This brought our full-year capital deployment into in-force transactions to $1,676 million, a record for RGA



and an increase of approximately 80% over the previous record in 2023. Equally strong was the record expected future value from new business written during the year, with a significant amount coming from exclusive opportunities.

“Our balance sheet remains strong, and we ended the quarter with deployable capital of $1.7 billion. Based on favorable business conditions and RGA’s global leadership position, we remain optimistic about the future and expect to continue to deliver attractive financial results over time. In that respect, I am delighted to report that we have increased our intermediate term financial targets, including raising our adjusted operating ROE target to 13% to 15%, to reflect the expectation of continued strong fundamentals of our business for the foreseeable future.”

Information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures and operating measures included in this press release, including definitions of these measures, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures and limitations related thereto, is included below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Definitions” and in the tables attached to this press release.

In the fourth quarter, consolidated net premiums totaled $4.2 billion, an increase of 1.2% over the 2023 fourth quarter, with an adverse net foreign currency effect of $15 million. Net premiums for the quarter included a contribution of approximately $150 million from a single premium pension risk transfer, compared with approximately $500 million in the prior year quarter, both of which are in the U.S. Financial Solutions business. For the full year, net premiums totaled $17.8 billion, an increase of 18.3% from 2023, with an adverse net foreign currency effect of $59 million. Net premiums for the full year included a contribution of approximately $2.9 billion from single premium pension risk transfers, compared with approximately $1.5 billion in the prior year.

Compared with the year-ago period, excluding spread-based businesses, fourth quarter investment income increased 9.3%, primarily due to higher average invested assets. For the full year, investment income, excluding spread-based businesses, increased 10.4%, reflecting higher average invested assets. Average investment yield decreased to 4.83% in the fourth quarter, compared with 4.86% in the prior-year period, reflecting higher investment expenses and lower variable investment income, partially offset by the favorable impacts from new money rates exceeding portfolio yields. For the full year, average investment



yield increased to 4.82% compared with the prior-year period of 4.68% due to higher new money rates relative to the existing portfolio yields at the time.

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 33.6% on pre-tax income, above the expected range of 24% to 25%, primarily due to non-cash tax expense on a restructuring transaction that occurred in the quarter and income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The increase was partially offset with a release of valuation allowances in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the full year was 26.3% on pre-tax income, above the expected range of 24% to 25%, primarily due to non-cash tax expense on a legal entity restructuring that occurred in the fourth quarter and income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The increase was partially offset with a release of valuation allowances in non-U.S. jurisdictions.

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 22.5% on adjusted operating income before taxes, below the expected range of 24% to 25%, primarily related to a release of valuation allowances in non-U.S. jurisdictions, partially offset by income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions with tax rates higher than the U.S. The effective tax rate for the full year was 23.4% on adjusted operating income before taxes, below the expected range of 24% to 25%, primarily related to a release of valuation allowances in non-U.S. jurisdictions, partially offset by income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions with tax rates higher than the U.S.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Definitions

Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (the “Company”) discloses certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company principally uses such non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating performance because the Company believes that such measures, when reviewed in conjunction with relevant U.S. GAAP measures, present a clearer picture of our operating performance and assist the Company in the allocation of its resources. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and other third parties with a better understanding of the Company’s results of operations, financial statements and the underlying profitability drivers and trends of the Company’s businesses by excluding specified items which may not be indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and may fluctuate significantly from period to period. These measures should be considered supplementary to the Company’s financial results that are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures. Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way the Company calculates such measures. Consequently, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

The following non-GAAP financial measures are used in this document or in other public disclosures made by the Company from time to time:

1.Adjusted operating income, on a pre-tax and after-tax basis, and adjusted operating income per diluted share. The Company uses these measures as a basis for analyzing financial results because the Company believes that such measures better reflect the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the Company’s continuing operations. Adjusted operating income is calculated as net income available to the Company’s shareholders (or, in the case of pre-tax adjusted operating income, income before income taxes) excluding, as applicable:
•substantially all of the effect of net investment related gains and losses;
•changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives;
•changes in the fair value of contracts that provide market risk benefits;
•non-economic losses at contract inception for direct pension risk transfer single premium business (which are amortized into adjusted operating income within claims and other policy benefits over the estimated lives of the contracts);
•any net gain or loss from discontinued operations;
•the cumulative effect of any accounting changes;
•the impact of certain tax-related items; and
•any other items that the Company believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations

as such items can be volatile and may not reflect the underlying performance of the Company’s business. In addition, adjusted operating income per diluted share is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. These measures also serve as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under the Company’s management incentive programs.

Adjusted operating income (loss) before income taxes, when presented at a segment level, is a measure reported to our management for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to our business segments and assessing the performance of our business segments, and will be presented in our financial statement footnotes beginning with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K to be filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 in accordance with ASC 280 – “Segment Reporting.” Adjusted operating income (loss) before income taxes, when presented on a consolidated basis, is a non-GAAP financial measure.




2. Adjusted operating income (on a pre-tax and after-tax basis), excluding notable items, and adjusted operating income per diluted share, excluding notable items. Notable items are items the Company believes may not be indicative of its ongoing operating performance which are excluded from adjusted operating income to provide investors and other third parties with a better understanding of the Company’s results. Such items may be unexpected, unknown when the Company prepares its business plan or otherwise. Notable items presented include the financial impact of the Company’s assumption reviews.
3. Adjusted operating revenue. This measure excludes the effects of net realized capital gains and losses, and changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives.
4. Shareholders’ equity position excluding the impact of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), shareholders’ average equity position excluding AOCI, and book value per share excluding the impact of AOCI. The Company believes that these measures provide useful information since such measures exclude AOCI-related items that are not permanent and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, and may not reflect the impact of the underlying performance of the Company’s businesses on shareholders’ equity and book value per share. AOCI primarily relates to changes in interest rates, credit spreads on its investment securities, future policy benefits discount rate measurement gains (losses), market risk benefits instrument-specific credit risk remeasurement gains (losses) and foreign currency fluctuations. The Company also discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures:
•Shareholders’ average equity position excluding AOCI and B36, where B36 refers to the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld embedded derivatives;
•Shareholders’ average equity position excluding AOCI and notable items; and
•Shareholders’ average equity position excluding AOCI, B36 and notable items.
5. Adjusted operating return on equity. This measure is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by average shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI. Adjusted operating return on equity also serves as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under the Company’s management incentive programs. The Company also discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures:
•Adjusted operating return on equity excluding AOCI and B36;
•Adjusted operating return on equity excluding AOCI and notable items, which is calculated as adjusted operating income excluding notable items divided by average shareholders’ equity excluding notable items and AOCI; and
•Adjusted operating return on equity excluding AOCI, B36 and notable items.

Reconciliations of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures (to the extent disclosed in this document) to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the Appendix at the end of this document. Except as otherwise noted herein, the non-GAAP figures and reconciliations presented herein reflect the Company’s adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-12, “Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts” and related amendments (“LDTI”). For additional information regarding the Company’s adoption of LDTI, see Note 1 – “Business and Basis of Presentation” and Note 3 – “Impact of New Accounting Standard” in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company is unable to provide reconciliations of the intermediate term targets of consolidated adjusted operating income (loss) before taxes, adjusted operating income (loss) before taxes, excluding notable items (on both a segment-level and consolidated basis), consolidated adjusted operating ROE, respectively, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, due to, among other things, that these targets are a composite of our goals for future results, the inherent difficulty in forecasting generally, and the difficulty of quantifying accurate forecasts of the numerous components comprising these calculations that would be necessary to provide any such reconciliations. In addition, actual performance in future periods may vary from the intermediate term target ranges for a variety of reasons, including known and unknown risk and uncertainties.




Other Definitions:

Value of In-force Business Margins is an operating measure reflecting:
•Expected underwriting margin1, which is derived from the estimated cash flows used to determine LDTI reserves. This amount is calculated using the locked-in LDTI liability discount rates.
•Expected investment margin, which (i) for LDTI products, values derived from the difference between using the expected book yields2 and locked-in LDTI liability discount rates and (ii) for Interest-sensitive products, values calculated using expected investment spread2 and expected duration of treaty.
•Expected fee income, which comes primarily from capital solutions products, is calculated as the present value of expected fees.

Such measure excludes management expenses, impact of capital, and taxes.
These values are based on the Company’s current estimates and assumptions and could materially change.
1 Represents the expected difference, based on current assumptions, between the present value of premiums and present value of claim benefits and treaty allowances, with:
•Present value of premiums is the present value of expected gross premiums plus Deferred Profit Liability (DPL);
•Present value of claim benefits is the present value of expected claim payments less Liability for Future Policy Benefits (LFPB) (before zero floor is applied); and
•Present value of treaty allowances is the present value of future allowances plus related Deferred Acquisition Costs (DAC).
2 Expected book yields are based on 2024 actual portfolio book yields adjusted for longer-term VII expectations. Investment spread is the difference between expected book yields and interest credited expense.

Cohort Definitions:
•Uncapped (profitable) cohorts: cohorts with a net premium ratio under 100%
•Capped (loss) cohorts: cohorts with a net premium ratio equal to or greater than 100%
•Floored cohorts: cohorts with reserves floored at zero as reserves cannot be negative
