Management Discussion & Analysis

  • Quarterly revenue $1,972M, up $206M YoY from $1,766M
  • Net loss $943M vs $158M YoY, driven by $1.1B non-cash Separation tax charge

Risk Factors

  • Newly added regulatory risk: DOL Fiduciary Rule became applicable June 9, 2017, increasing compliance burdens and fiduciary-liability exposure
  • Most materially updated strategy risk: variable-annuity exposure management shifted toward CTE95 funding and longer-dated derivatives, increasing GAAP and statutory volatility
  • Regulatory capital risk: AG 43 Standard Scenario Reserve Amount may exceed CTE95 beginning approximately 2020, pressuring RBC ratios and shareholder distributions
  • Operational risk: policy administration consolidation from up to 20 systems to one creates third-party execution and service-continuity exposure
  • Financial risk: $600 million term loan matures December 2, 2019, alongside $3.0 billion Senior Notes due 2027 and 2047
