Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle
Amended TopicDescriptionAdoption Method and Transition Impact
Cash flow and discount rate assumptions underlying insurance liabilitiesFor nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment insurance contracts, the Company will evaluate, at least annually in the same fiscal quarter, as to whether an update to cash flow assumptions is needed. The Company will update the cash flows used to measure the LFPB, for both changes in future assumptions and actual experience, at least annually.

The updating of cash flows impacts the amount of the deferred profit liability (“DPL”) recorded for limited-payment contracts. The DPL will be adjusted concurrently with any updating of the LFPB.

Cash flows are required to be discounted with an upper-medium grade (or low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield, with the effect of discount rate changes on the liability recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The discount rate utilized is intended to reflect the duration characteristics of the corresponding insurance liabilities. The Company will obtain yield curves and spreads for a range of tenors to determine spot yields to discount the cash flows of the insurance liabilities as of each valuation date.
The Company will adopt the guidance for LFPB, as of the date of the Sixth Street Acquisition. As of the acquisition date, the Company expects there will be a decrease to LFPB (and the associated reinsurance recoverable), which will be offset by a net increase to an additional reserve. This is due to the application of purchase accounting associated with the Sixth Street Acquisition, which employed lower discount rates for the fair value calculations than the required discount rates to value the cash flows on the insurance liabilities under ASU 2018-12.
MRBThe Company currently offers and assumes certain guarantees and product features on variable annuity and FIA products, which protect the contractholder from other-than-nominal capital market risk and expose the Company to other-than-nominal capital market risk. These MRB features are required to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income, with the exception of the changes in MRB liabilities attributable to a change in an entity’s nonperformance risk, which is required to be recognized in OCI. For products that are reinsured, the portion of the change in MRB attributable to changes in the reinsurer’s nonperformance risk is recognized in income. The Company shall maximize the use of relevant observable information and minimize the use of unobservable information in determining the balance of the MRB upon adoption.The Company will adopt the guidance for MRB using the full retrospective method. As of the acquisition date, the Company expects there to be an increase to the MRB liability (and the associated reinsurance recoverable) and a decrease to VOBA, as a result of the difference between the establishment of the MRB recorded at fair value under ASU 2018-12 and reserves previously recorded for those benefits.
Amortization of DAC and other DAC-like balancesThe Company will amortize DAC and other DAC-like balances on a constant-level basis over the expected term for a group of contracts consistent with the groupings used in estimating the associated LFPB. The constant-level basis for the group approximates a pattern of straight-line amortization at an individual contract level by using a method specific to the underlying product. The amortization rate utilized is calculated at the end of the current reporting period, including actual experience and any assumption updates. The revised amortization rate is applied prospectively from the beginning of the current reporting period.As a result of amortizing DAC and other DAC-like balances on a constant-level basis, the Company does not expect a significant impact upon the adoption of ASU 2018-12.
Reporting and DisclosuresASU 2018-12 requires certain enhanced presentation and disclosures including disaggregated rollforwards for LFPB, policyholder account balances, MRB, separate account liabilities, DAC and other DAC-like balances, and information about significant inputs, judgments and methods used in the LFPB measurement. The enhanced disclosures are intended to improve the ability of users of the financial statements to evaluate the timing, amount, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from long-duration contracts.The Company’s implementation efforts and the evaluation of the impacts of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements, as well as its systems, processes, and controls, continue to progress. Given the nature and extent of the required changes to a significant portion of the Company’s operations, the adoption of this guidance is expected to have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations. In addition, there will be a significant increase in required disclosures.
