The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2016 was impacted by net investment gains, net of taxes and other adjustments, of $19 million in the quarter, compared to net investment losses of $1 million in the prior year. The net loss in the current quarter and prior year quarter also reflected after-tax losses of $196 million and $194 million, respectively, related to assumption updates in universal life insurance and $214 million in the prior year quarter related to the pending and completed sale of the European mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance businesses.

Net investment income was $786 million in the quarter, down from $805 million in the prior quarter and up from $781 million in the prior year. Prepayment speed adjustments related to residential mortgage-backed securities were unfavorable versus the prior quarter and prior year. The reported yield and core yield3 for the current quarter were 4.50 percent and 4.47 percent, respectively.

 

 

4  The company defines “NM” as not meaningful for increases or decreases greater than 200 percent.
5  Under applicable accounting guidance, companies in a loss position are required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share. Therefore, as a result of the loss from continuing operations, the company was required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share as the inclusion of shares for stock options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights of 2.5 million, 2.2 million and 1.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and 2.0 million and 1.6 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, would have been antidilutive to the calculation. If the company had not incurred a loss from continuing operations in these periods, dilutive potential weighted-average common shares outstanding would have been 500.9 million, 500.5 million and 499.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and 500.3 million and 499.0 million, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Since it had adjusted operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the company used 499.0 million diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted adjusted operating income (loss) per common share.

U.S. MI reported adjusted operating income of $61 million, compared with $67 million in the prior quarter and $41 million in the prior year. The loss ratio in the current quarter was 28 percent, up seven points sequentially driven primarily by the favorable adjustment to loss reserves in the prior quarter and down 11 points from the prior year primarily reflecting the continued decline and improved performance in delinquencies from the 2005 to 2008 book years. The full year loss ratio was 24 percent in 2016, compared to 37 percent in 2015 and better than the company’s outlook for 2016 of 30 to 40 percent.

Flow NIW of $11.1 billion decreased 13 percent from the prior quarter from a seasonally smaller purchase originations market, but increased 42 percent versus the prior year primarily from a larger purchase originations market and higher refinance originations from lower interest rates. U.S. MI’s flow insurance in force grew 13 percent during 2016 driven by an expanding purchase originations market, higher refinance originations and its differentiated service offerings.

Canada MI reported adjusted operating income of $39 million versus $36 million in the prior quarter and $37 million in the prior year. The loss ratio in the quarter was 18 percent, down six points from the prior quarter from a decrease in new delinquencies, net of cures, primarily related to higher cures in Alberta and down five points compared to the prior year from a decrease in new delinquencies, net of cures. The full year loss ratio was 22 percent in 2016, compared to 21 percent in 2015 and better than the company’s outlook for 2016 of 25 to 35 percent. Results versus the prior year included increased earned premiums from a higher level of NIW in recent years.

Flow NIW was down 25 percent6 sequentially primarily from a seasonally smaller originations market and down 17 percent6 from the prior year primarily from targeted underwriting changes in select markets and a smaller market size. In addition, the company completed several bulk transactions in the quarter of $3.7 billion in the aggregate, consisting of high quality low loan-to-value prime loans. Effective March 17, 2017, Canada MI will increase its flow mortgage insurance premium rates for new insured mortgages an average of approximately 20 percent to reflect the regulatory capital framework that came into effect on January 1, 2017.

LTC reported an adjusted operating loss of $1 million, compared with $270 million in the prior quarter and adjusted operating income of $19 million in the prior year. Results in the prior quarter included an increase to LTC claim reserves of approximately $435 million pre-tax resulting in an after-tax charge of $283 million related to the company’s annual review of LTC claim reserves assumptions and methodologies.

 

6

During the quarter, the company completed its annual review of GAAP active life margins or loss recognition testing. GAAP loss recognition testing margins for the business were reduced to approximately $1.0 to $1.5 billion as higher expected future claim costs were partially offset by the impact of higher future in force rate actions. The company continues to separately test its LTC acquired block (representing business written prior to late 1995) for recoverability as part of testing its GAAP loss recognition margins. The GAAP loss recognition testing margin for the LTC acquired block was positive and did not require an increase to reserves in the quarter, driven mostly by more favorable claim termination assumptions.

Results for the quarter included a less favorable impact from reduced benefit options from elections from in force policyholders of $13 million after-tax versus the prior quarter and $26 million after-tax versus the prior year. Estimated favorable impact from in force rate action premiums continues to build and was $67 million after-tax in the current quarter versus $62 million after-tax in the prior quarter and $51 million after-tax in the prior year.

Results in the quarter were negatively impacted by a $7 million after-tax increase to the reserve related to profits followed by losses versus the prior quarter.

Life Insurance

Life insurance reported an adjusted operating loss of $193 million, compared with adjusted operating income of $48 million in the prior quarter and an adjusted operating loss of $173 million in the prior year.

During the quarter, the company completed its annual review of life insurance assumptions and recorded an after-tax charge of $196 million associated with its universal life insurance products. The negative impact was primarily driven by assumption changes due to emerging mortality experience in older age populations with more modest assumption updates related to interest rates, lapses and other refinements. Results in the prior year reflected an after-tax charge of $194 million related to the company’s annual review of life insurance assumptions.

Results versus the prior quarter and prior year reflect lower investment income from unfavorable prepayment speed adjustments related to residential mortgage-backed securities as well as higher mortality.

Fixed Annuities

Fixed annuities reported adjusted operating income of $40 million, compared with $15 million in the prior quarter and $19 million in the prior year. Results in the quarter include a $6 million after-tax favorable adjustment related to state guaranty funds and a $10 million after-tax favorable impact related to an update of lapse assumptions and other refinements versus the prior quarter. Results in the prior quarter also included an $8 million after-tax unfavorable correction related to state guaranty funds.

 

7

Runoff

Runoff reported adjusted operating income of $6 million which included an after-tax charge of $3 million primarily related to lapse assumption updates, compared with adjusted operating income of $12 million in the prior quarter and $11 million in the prior year which included an after-tax benefit of $3 million from assumption updates primarily relating to mortality.

Corporate And Other

Corporate and Other reported an adjusted operating loss of $103 million, compared with an adjusted operating loss of $327 million in the prior quarter and $58 million in the prior year. Results in the quarter reflected $29 million of deferred tax charges compared with $265 million of deferred tax charges in the prior quarter and an increase in professional fees and legal expenses associated with the China Oceanwide transaction and pending litigation.

Financial Supplement Information

This press release, fourth quarter 2016 financial supplement and earnings presentation are now posted on the company’s website. Investors are encouraged to review these materials. Due to the pending sale to China Oceanwide, the company does not plan to host an earnings call.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures entitled “adjusted operating income (loss)” and “adjusted operating income (loss) per common share.” Adjusted operating income (loss) per common share is derived from adjusted operating income (loss). The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of adjusted operating income (loss). The company defines adjusted operating income (loss) as loss from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Gains (losses) on insurance block transactions are defined as gains (losses) on the early

 

9

extinguishment of non-recourse funding obligations, early termination fees for other financing restructuring and/or resulting gains (losses) on reinsurance restructuring for certain blocks of business. The company excludes net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because the company does not consider them to be related to the operating performance of the company’s segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of the company’s net investment gains (losses) is the result of impairments, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to the company’s discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions and restructuring costs are also excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) because, in the company’s opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. Infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) if, in the company’s opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends.

While some of these items may be significant components of net loss available to Genworth’s common stockholders in accordance with GAAP, the company believes that adjusted operating income (loss) and measures that are derived from or incorporate adjusted operating income (loss), including adjusted operating income (loss) per common share on a basic and diluted basis, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Management also uses adjusted operating income (loss) as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. However, the items excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) have occurred in the past and could, and in some cases will, recur in the future. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) per common share on a basic and diluted basis are not substitutes for net loss available to Genworth’s common stockholders or net loss available to Genworth’s common stockholders per common share on a basic and diluted basis determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s definition of adjusted operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) attributable to Genworth’s common stockholders and adjusted operating income (loss) assume a 35 percent tax rate (unless otherwise indicated) and are net of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net investment gains (losses) are also adjusted for deferred acquisition costs (DAC) and other intangible amortization and certain benefit reserves.

In June 2016, the company completed the sale of its term life insurance new business platform and recorded a pre-tax gain of $12 million. In May 2016, the company completed the sale of its mortgage insurance business in Europe and recorded an additional pre-tax loss of $2 million. In the first quarter of 2016, the company recorded an estimated pre-tax loss of $7 million and a tax benefit of $27 million related to the planned sale of the mortgage insurance business in Europe. The company also recognized an estimated pre-tax loss of $140 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 for the planned sale of this business. The company also incurred a $6 million tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2015 related to the planned sale as well as a tax charge of $7 million in the third quarter of 2015 from potential business portfolio changes related to this business. These transactions were excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) for the periods presented as they related to a gain (loss) on the sale of businesses.

In June 2016, the company settled restricted borrowings of $70 million related to a securitization entity and recorded a $64 million pre-tax gain related to the early extinguishment of debt. In January 2016, the company paid a pre-tax make-whole expense of $20 million related to the early redemption of Genworth Holdings, Inc.’s (Genworth Holdings) 2016 notes. The company also repurchased $28 million principal amount of Genworth Holdings’ notes with various maturity dates for a pre-tax gain of $4 million in the first quarter of 2016. In the third quarter of 2015, the company paid an early redemption payment of approximately $1 million, net of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests, related to the early redemption of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Limited’s notes that were scheduled to mature in 2021. In the third quarter of 2015, the company also repurchased approximately $50 million principal amount of Genworth Holdings’ notes with various maturity dates for a pre-tax loss of $1 million. These transactions were excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) for the periods presented as they related to a gain (loss) on the early extinguishment of debt.

In the first quarter of 2016, the company completed a life block transaction resulting in a pre-tax loss of $9 million in connection with the early extinguishment of non-recourse funding obligations. In the third quarter of 2015, the company recorded a pre-tax DAC impairment of $455 million on certain term life insurance policies in connection with entering into an agreement to complete a life block transaction.

In the third, second and first quarters of 2016, the company recorded a pre-tax expense of $2 million, $5 million and $15 million, respectively, related to restructuring costs as part of an expense reduction plan as the company evaluates and appropriately sizes its organizational needs and expenses. In the fourth and second quarters of 2015, the company also recorded a pre-tax expense of $5 million and $3 million, respectively, related to restructuring costs.

There were no infrequent or unusual items excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) during the periods presented other than fees incurred during the first quarter of 2016 related to Genworth Holdings’ bond consent solicitation of $18 million for broker, advisor and investment banking fees.

The tables at the end of this press release provide a reconciliation of net loss available to Genworth’s common stockholders to adjusted operating income (loss) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, as well as for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and reflect adjusted operating income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting guidance related to segment reporting.

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure entitled “core yield” as a measure of investment yield. The company defines core yield as the investment yield adjusted for items that do not reflect the underlying performance of the investment portfolio. Management believes that analysis of core yield enhances understanding of the investment yield of the company. However, core yield is not a substitute for investment yield determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s definition of core yield may differ from the definitions used by other companies. A reconciliation of core yield to reported GAAP yield is included in a table at the end of this press release.

Definition of Selected Operating Performance Measures

The company reports selected operating performance measures including “sales” and “insurance in force” or “risk in force” which are commonly used in the insurance industry as measures of operating performance.

Management regularly monitors and reports sales metrics as a measure of volume of new and renewal business generated in a period. Sales refer to: (1) new insurance written for mortgage insurance; (2) annualized first-year premiums for long term care and term life insurance products; (3) annualized first-year deposits plus five percent of excess deposits for universal and term universal life insurance products; (4) 10 percent of premium deposits for linked-benefits products; and (5) new and additional premiums/deposits for fixed annuities. Sales do not include renewal premiums on policies or contracts written during prior periods. The company considers new insurance written, annualized first-year premiums/deposits, premium equivalents and new premiums/deposits to be a measure of the company’s operating performance because they represent a measure of new sales of insurance policies or contracts during a specified period, rather than a measure of the company’s revenues or profitability during that period.

Management also regularly monitors and reports a loss ratio for the company’s businesses. For the mortgage insurance businesses, the loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. For the long term care insurance business, the loss ratio is the ratio of benefits and other changes in reserves less tabular interest on reserves less loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The company considers the loss ratio to be a measure of underwriting performance in these businesses and helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of the businesses.

 

11

An assumed tax rate of 35 percent is utilized in certain adjustments to adjusted operating income (loss) and in the explanation of specific variances of operating performance and investment results.

These operating performance measures enable the company to compare its operating performance across periods without regard to revenues or profitability related to policies or contracts sold in prior periods or from investments or other sources.

  •   risks relating to economic, market and political conditions including: downturns and volatility in global economies and equity and credit markets; interest rates and changes in rates (particularly given the historically low interest rate environment) have adversely impacted, and may continue to materially adversely impact, the company’s business and profitability; deterioration in economic conditions or a decline in home prices that adversely affect the company’s loss experience in mortgage insurance; political and economic instability or changes in government policies; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and international securities markets;

14
