Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Contract Owners of MONY Variable Account A and the Board of Directors of
MONY Life Insurance Company:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the subaccounts listed in Appendix A that comprise MONY Variable Account A (the Separate Account) as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Separate Account as of December 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2018 were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report, dated April 26, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the underlying mutual funds or their transfer agents; when replies were not received, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more MONY Life Insurance Company separate accounts since 2019.

MONY VARIABLE ACCOUNT A OF

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022

 

 

 

1.ORGANIZATION

 

The MONY Variable Account A (the “Separate Account”), a segregated unit investment trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, was established by MONY Life Insurance Company, and exists in accordance with the regulations of the State of New York. MONY Life Insurance Company was acquired by AXA Financial, Inc., which made MONY Life Insurance Company a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc. MONY Life Insurance Company was later acquired by Protective Life Insurance Company, which made MONY Life Insurance Company a wholly owned subsidiary of Protective Life Insurance Company. Protective Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation (“PLC”). PLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc., a kabushiki kaisha organized under the laws of Japan.

 

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Company’s other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Separate Account’s assets applicable to the variable annuity contracts (the “Contracts”) is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

 

The Separate Account is a funding vehicle for individual variable annuity Contracts; it consists of a number of subaccounts (the “Subaccounts”), also commonly referred to as investment divisions or funds, each of which is treated as an individual accounting entity for financial reporting purposes. The Separate Account’s value at any time is allocated among Contract holders based on the number and value of their accumulation units representing their interest in the separate account; all of the investible assets of the Separate Account are invested in the corresponding mutual fund.

 

Contract owners may allocate some or all of the applicable net contributions or transfer some or all of the Contract value to the Company’s guaranteed account, which is not included in these financial statements. The assets of the Company support its insurance and annuity obligations and are subject to the Company’s general liabilities from business operations.

 

Contract owners’ net contributions are allocated to the Subaccounts in accordance with Contract owner instructions and are recorded as Contract owners’ net payments in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Such amounts are used to provide account funds to pay Contract values under the Contracts.

 

The following is a list of the variable annuity products funded by the Separate Account:

Certain subaccounts that had no investments balances as of December 31, 2022 or that did not have activity during the year ended December 31, 2022 are not presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2022 or Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

The Separate Account is an investment company and, therefore, applies specialized accounting guidance in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”.

 

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Separate Account.

 

Investment valuation

Investments are made and measured in shares and are presented net of management fees and other operating expenses incurred by the Subaccounts. The investments are valued at the net asset values of the mutual funds, which value their investment securities at fair value. Transactions with the mutual funds are recognized on the trade date.

 

The Separate Account classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of the Separate Account’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.

 

The Separate Account determines the fair values of certain financial assets based on quoted market prices. All of the investments in the Subaccounts of the Separate Account are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and consist of open-ended mutual funds. Participants may, without restriction, transact at the daily net asset value (“NAV”) of the mutual funds. The NAV represents the daily per share value based on the fair value of the underlying portfolio of investments of the respective Subaccounts.

39

 

Receivables and payables from (to) the contracts and the fund manager

Receivables and payables from (to) the contracts and the fund manager include trading activity initiated at the contract level from the last business day of the year that has not yet been settled with the fund manager.

 

Receivables and payables from (to) the Company

Receivables and payables from (to) the Company include accruals for the variance between investments and reserves applicable to the Subaccount.

 

Contracts in the annuity payout phase

Net assets allocated to Contracts in the annuity payout phase are computed according to the Annuity 2000 Mortality Table with an assumed investment return of 5%. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Separate Account by the Company to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Company for the calculated or excess differential.

 

Dividend income and capital gain distributions

Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are reinvested in additional shares of the mutual funds. Ordinary dividend and capital gain distributions are recognized within net investment income and net realized gains, respectively, as recorded in the financial statements of the Subaccounts.

 

Net realized gains and losses

Net realized gains and losses on investments include gains and losses on redemptions of the Subaccounts’ shares (determined for each product using the weighted average method) and capital gain distributions from the mutual funds.

 

Net transfers (to) from the Company and Subaccounts

Net transfers (to) from the Company and Subaccounts include transfers between the Subaccounts of the Separate Account as well as transfers between the Separate Account and the Company.

 

Federal income taxes

The results of the operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of the Company. Under the provisions of the Contracts, the Company has the right to charge the Separate Account for federal income tax attributable to the Separate Account. No charge has been made against the Separate Account for such tax during the year ended December 31, 2022. Management will periodically review the application of this policy in the event of changes in tax law. Accordingly, a change may be made in future years to consider charges for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the Contracts.

 

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates reported in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Risks and uncertainties

The Separate Account provides for various investment options in any combination of Subaccounts, each of which bears exposure to the market, credit, and liquidity risks of the underlying portfolio in which it invests. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect investment balances, the amounts reported in the statements of assets and liabilities, of operations and of changes in net assets. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes of the underlying Subaccounts identified in Note 1.

6.FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Company sells a number of variable annuity products that are funded by the Separate Account. These products have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the Contract owner’s account. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns. The following tables were developed by determining which products offered by the Company and funded by the Separate Account have the highest and lowest expense ratios. The summaries may not reflect or directly equate to the minimum and maximum Contract charges offered by the Company, as Contract owners may not have selected all available and applicable Contract options for or during the periods presented.

 

A summary of the units outstanding, unit fair values, net assets for variable annuity Contracts, net investment income ratios, the expense ratios, excluding expenses of the underlying funds, and total returns for each of the five years or periods ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:

(a) These ratios represent the dividends received by the Subaccount, excluding distributions of both long-term and short-term capital gains, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying mutual fund in which the Subaccounts invest.

 

(b) These ratios represent the annualized Contract expenses of the respective Subaccounts of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk fees, for each period indicated. These ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to Contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying mutual fund are excluded.

 

(c) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, are not annualized, include changes in the value of the underlying mutual fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses addressed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.

 

(d) Only one figure is shown when the lowest expense ratio is equal to the highest expense ratio.

Independent Auditors’ Report

 

The Board of Directors
MONY Life Insurance Company:

 

Opinions

 

We have audited the statutory financial statements of MONY Life Insurance Company (the Company), which comprise the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statutory statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the statutory financial statements.

 

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statutory financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022 in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services described in Notes 1 and 2.

 

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

 

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the statutory financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022.

 

Basis for Opinions

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

 

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

 

As described in Notes 1 and 2 to the statutory financial statements, the statutory financial statements are prepared by the Company using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services, which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the statutory financial statements are not intended to be presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the statutory financial statements of the variances between the statutory accounting practices described in Note 2 and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

Responsibilities of Management for the Statutory Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of statutory financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the statutory financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the statutory financial statements are issued.

 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the statutory financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
  
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statutory financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the statutory financial statements.
  
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
  
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the statutory financial statements.
  
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

Supplementary Information

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the statutory financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information included in the supplemental Schedule I Summary of Investments - Other Than Investments in Related Parties and Schedule IV Reinsurance is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the statutory financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the statutory financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory financial statements or to the statutory financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the statutory financial statements as a whole.

(Statutory Basis)

 

1.         General

 

Basis of Presentation – The statutory basis financial statements of MONY Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “Department”). The Company is a stock, legal reserve, life, and accident and health insurer.

 

All outstanding shares of the Company's common stock are owned by Protective Life Insurance Company (“PLICO”), a life insurance company domiciled in the State of Tennessee. PLICO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation (“PLC”), an insurance holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware. PLC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc. (“Dai-ichi Life”), a kabushiki kaisha organized under the laws of Japan. Effective January 1, 2023, PLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life International Holding, LLC, a godo kaisha organized under the laws of Japan and subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life (“Dai-ichi Life International”), upon the transfer of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from Dai-ichi Life to Dai-ichi Life International. Dai-ichi Life remains the ultimate controlling parent corporation of PLC. Other affiliated insurers include Golden Gate Captive Insurance Company, Protective Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Protective Life and Annuity Insurance Company, and West Coast Life Insurance Company.

 

The Department recognizes only statutory practices prescribed or permitted by the State of New York for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company, and for determining its solvency under New York Insurance Law. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, effective January 1, 2001 (“NAIC SAP”), has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of New York. The State of New York has adopted certain prescribed accounting practices that differ from those found in the NAIC SAP, none of which had a material impact on the Company’s Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, or Statements of Operations for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022. 

 

The Company had no permitted practices as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 or for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022. 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NAIC SAP requires management to make various estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Company elected to use rounding in reporting amounts throughout the statutory financial statements and in the accompanying notes to the statutory financial statements (collectively, the “statements”) and therefore summation of amounts and consistency between related amounts within the statements may be impacted by immaterial amounts.

 

Acquisition of the Company by PLICO on October 1, 2013 – PLICO purchased the Company on October 1, 2013. The Company was previously owned by AXA Equitable Financial Services, LLC (“AEFS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA”). Pursuant to the master agreement (the “Master Agreement”) dated April 11, 2013 with AXA and AEFS, PLICO acquired the stock of the Company from AEFS.

Nature of Operations – The Company previously offered a broad portfolio of life insurance products consisting primarily of variable life and interest-sensitive life insurance products (including group universal life insurance), in addition to a whole life and a variety of term life insurance products. The Company also offered a variety of annuity products, such as variable annuities, fixed deferred annuities and payout annuities. As part of the acquisition by PLICO, the Company no longer writes new business, but continues to service existing business.

 

The operating results of companies in the insurance industry have historically been subject to significant fluctuations due to competition, economic conditions, interest rates, investment performance, maintenance of insurance ratings, inflation, and other factors.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – The Company uses the following significant accounting policies:

 

Cash and Investments

 

Investments are stated at values determined by methodologies prescribed by the NAIC. Bonds not backed by other loans are stated at amortized cost using the interest method, except for bonds with a NAIC designation of 6 which are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. For bonds carried at fair value, the difference between cost and fair value is reflected in “Change in net unrealized capital gains and losses” in unassigned funds.

 

Loan-backed bonds and structured securities stated at amortized cost utilize anticipated prepayments to determine the effective yield at purchase. The majority of prepayment assumptions for loan-backed bonds and structured securities are obtained from Bloomberg; other sources are broker-dealer surveys, trustee information, and internal estimates. These assumptions are consistent with current interest rates and the economic environment. Changes in the timing of estimated future cash flows from the original purchase assumptions are accounted for using the retrospective method.

 

Bond and preferred stock fair values are obtained from a nationally recognized pricing service. The Company uses quotes obtained from brokers and internally developed pricing models to price those bonds that are not priced by this service.

 

Redeemable preferred stocks are stated at amortized cost or fair value, depending on the assigned credit ratings. Perpetual preferred stocks are stated at fair value, not to exceed any currently effective call price. For preferred stocks at fair value, the difference between cost and fair value is reflected in “Change in net unrealized capital gains and losses” in unassigned funds.

 

Common stocks are generally stated at a fair value obtained from a nationally recognized pricing service.

 

Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at the aggregate unpaid principal balance. Book value adjustments are made for other-than-temporary declines. Temporary declines in value are reflected in net unrealized capital gains and losses in unassigned funds.

 

Contract loans are carried at the unpaid principal balances. The excess of the unpaid contract loan balance over the cash surrender value, if any, is nonadmitted and reflected as an adjustment to unassigned funds. Interest is capitalized on the anniversary date.

(Statutory Basis)

 

Cash includes all demand deposits reduced by the amount of outstanding checks and drafts. The Company has deposits with certain financial institutions which exceed federally insured limits; however, total deposits are maintained within the bank-specific deposit level guidelines established by the Investments Policy Committee (IPC). The Company reviews the creditworthiness of these financial institutions and believes there is minimal risk of material loss.

 

Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost, which the Company believes approximates fair value. The short-term investment category includes those investments whose maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less. Money market mutual funds are classified as cash equivalents with measurement at fair value.

 

The Company’s investments in surplus notes with an NAIC Credit Rating Providers (“NAIC CRP”) designation of NAIC 1 or NAIC 2 are reported at amortized cost. Surplus notes held with no NAIC CRP designation, or with a designation of NAIC 3, 4, 5, or 6, are carried at the lesser of amortized cost or fair value. Investments in surplus notes are reported as “Other invested assets”.

 

Receivables and payables for securities represent balances outstanding with brokers related to purchase and sale transactions. These balances are cleared as amounts are received or paid.

 

Investment income is recorded when earned.

 

Realized gains and losses on the sale or maturity of investments are determined on the basis of specific identification and are included in the Statements of Operations on the trade date, net of the amount transferred to the IMR and net of applicable federal income taxes. The Company analyzes various factors to determine if any specific other-than-temporary asset impairments exist. Once a determination has been made that a specific other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) exists, a realized loss is incurred and the cost basis of the impaired asset, other than loan-backed and structured securities, is adjusted to its fair value. Impaired loan-backed and structured securities are adjusted to the sum of their discounted future expected cash flows.

 

Premium Revenue and Related Commissions

 

Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue when received. Premiums for flexible premiums/universal life policies and single premium credit life are recognized as revenues when collected. Premiums for traditional life insurance products are recognized as revenue when due. Accident and health premiums are earned ratably over the terms of the related insurance contracts.

 

Considerations for deposit type contracts, which do not have any life contingencies, are recorded directly to the related liability.

 

Acquisition costs, such as commissions and other costs related to new business, are expensed as incurred.

Policyholders’ Dividends

 

A portion of the Company’s business has been issued on a participating basis. The amount of policyholders' dividends to be paid is determined annually by the Company’s Board of Directors, and is included in “Dividends to policyholders” shown in the Company’s Statements of Operations. The aggregate amount of policyholders' dividends is related to actual interest, mortality, morbidity and expense experience for the year and to management's judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory capital and surplus to be retained by the Company.

 

The Company is subject to limitations on the amounts of statutory profits which can be retained with respect to certain classes of individual participating policies that were in force on November 16, 1998 which are not included in the Closed Block (see Note 11) and with respect to participating policies issued subsequent to November 16, 1998. Excess statutory profits, if any, will be distributed over time to such policyholders and are not available to the stockholder of the Company.

 

Aggregate Reserves for Policies and Contracts

 

Aggregate reserves for insurance and annuity policies are generally computed under the Commissioners' Reserve Valuation Method and Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation Method, respectively, or otherwise under the net level premium method or comparable method and are subject to reserve adequacy testing.

 

Benefit reserves are computed using statutory mortality and interest requirements and are generally determined without consideration of future withdrawals. Interest rates used in establishing such reserves for life insurance products ranged from 2.25% to 6.0% in 2022, 2021, and 2020. Interest rates ranged from 0.75% to 11.25%, 0.75% to 11.25%, and 2.0% to 11.5% for annuity and supplementary contract reserves in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

 

Pension reserves are generally established at an amount equal to the total experience funds or contract holders’ balances, except for certain funds with unconditional surrender charges, where the reserves are equal to the contract holders’ balances less the applicable surrender charge. Additional reserves for the group and individual annuity contract business are maintained at an amount required to meet New York State formula.

 

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insureds and returns any portion of the final premium beyond the month of death. The Company has certain surrender values in excess of the legally computed reserves which are included in “Aggregate reserves: Life policies and contracts” in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.

 

Substandard policies are valued from basic actuarial principles using the policy’s substandard rating.

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $215.7 million and $234.9 million, respectively, of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the standard valuation set by the State of New York. Reserves to cover this insurance totaled $4.4 million and $5.1 million net of reinsurance as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are reported in “Aggregate reserves: Life policies and contracts” in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.

 

The Tabular Interest, the Tabular less actual reserve released, and the Tabular Cost, have been determined by formulas. For the determination of investment earnings on funds not involving life contingencies, for each valuation rate of interest the tabular interest is calculated as one-hundredth of the product of such valuation rate of interest times the mean of the amounts of funds subject to such valuation rate of interest held at the beginning and the end of the year of valuation. The tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies is generally the interest actually credited or paid on such funds.

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Statutory Basis)

 

The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency calculation, in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 54, “Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts.”

 

Liabilities for losses and loss adjustment expenses for accident and health contracts are estimated by the Company’s valuation actuary using statistical claim development models to develop best estimates or liabilities for medical expense business and using tabular reserves employing mortality/morbidity tables and discount rates specified by regulatory authorities for disability income business.

 

Policy and Contract Claims

 

Policy and contract claims include provisions for reported life, accident and health claims in process of settlement, valued in accordance with the terms of the related policies and contracts, as well as provisions for claims incurred but not reported based primarily on prior experience of the Company. As such amounts are necessarily estimates, the ultimate liability may differ from the amount recorded and will be reflected in the results of operations when additional information becomes known.

 

Asset Valuation Reserve (“AVR”) and Interest Maintenance Reserve (“IMR”)

 

The Company established certain reserves as required by NAIC SAP. The AVR is based upon a statutory formula as prescribed by the NAIC to provide a standardized reserve for realized and unrealized losses from default and/or equity risks associated with all invested assets, excluding cash, contract loans, premium notes, collateral loans, and investment receivables. Realized gains and losses related to fixed maturity investments resulting from changes in credit quality and capital gains and losses related to all other investments, net of applicable federal income taxes, are reflected in the calculation of AVR. Unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable deferred federal income taxes, are also reflected in the calculation. Changes in AVR are charged or credited directly to unassigned funds.

 

The IMR captures realized gains and losses, net of applicable federal income taxes, from the sale of certain investments. The portion of these realized gains and losses resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates is not recognized currently but is amortized into income over the approximate remaining life of the investment sold.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

The provision for federal income taxes is computed in accordance with those sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to life insurance companies. Deferred income taxes are provided based upon the expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The admission of gross deferred income tax assets is subject to various limitations as specified by NAIC SAP. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as a separate component of unassigned funds.

Reinsurance

 

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit aggregate and single exposure to losses on large risks by purchasing reinsurance from other reinsurers. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers related to paid policy claims are included in “Amounts recoverable from reinsurers” and insurance liabilities are reported net of reinsurance recoverables in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. Receivables and payables from the same reinsurer, including funds withheld, are generally offset. For reserve credits taken related to reinsurers considered to be unauthorized by the Department, the Company must obtain letters of credit, funds withheld, or other forms of collateral in amounts at least equal to reserve credits. To the extent such collateral is not obtained, the Company must record a liability for reinsurance in unauthorized companies.

 

Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries on policy claims are netted against the respective “Premiums and annuity considerations” and “Death and annuity benefits” in the Statements of Operations. Revenues from commissions and expense allowances on reinsurance ceded are recognized in the period in which the transaction occurs and recorded in “Commissions and expense allowances on reinsurance ceded” in the Statements of Operations.

 

The Company remains liable with respect to ceded insurance should any reinsurer fail to meet the obligations it assumed. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors the associated concentration of credit risk.

 

Separate Accounts

 

The majority of securities in the Company’s Separate Accounts consist of mutual funds valued at fair value. All other publicly traded bonds and stocks are also valued at fair value. Direct placement bonds are stated at fair value, as determined by the Company or third-party appraisers. Short-term investments held in money market Separate Accounts are stated at fair value regardless of the length of maturity. Short-term investments held in all other Separate Accounts with remaining maturity at acquisition of (i) sixty days or less are stated at amortized cost, which the Company believes when combined with accrued income, approximates fair value; or (ii) more than sixty days are stated at fair value. Investments in shares of variable insurance trusts are stated at fair value, which reflects the net asset value of the various portfolios. Net asset values are based upon market or fair values of the securities held in each of the corresponding portfolios of the funds. Please refer to Note 15 for further information regarding the Company’s Separate Accounts.

 

2.          Statutory and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Differences

 

Accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department vary in some respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). A summary of significant statutory accounting practices (“SAP”) and their difference to GAAP, is as follows:

 

1.The costs related to acquiring business, principally commissions and certain policy issue expenses, are charged to operations in the year incurred and thus are not amortized over the period benefited, whereas premiums are taken into revenue over the premium paying period of the related policies. Under GAAP, acquisition costs on successful efforts are capitalized and charged to operations as the revenues or expected gross profits are recognized;

 

 14 

 

 

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Statutory Basis)

 

2.Deposits to universal life contracts, investment contracts and limited payment contracts are credited to revenue. Under GAAP, these items are accounted for as deposits on the balance sheet and do not flow through the income statement;

 

3.Under SAP rules that precede Principles Based Reserves (“PBR”), policy reserves for future policy benefits are actuarially computed in accordance with certain state statutes and administrative regulations including reserve bases appropriate for life, accident and health, and annuity products. These liabilities are computed using statutory actuarial tables which do not allow for modification based on the Company’s experience. Under PBR, company experience is utilized in setting certain assumptions for the scenario-based reserves for life and annuity products as defined under NAIC Valuation Manual 20, “Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Life Products” (“VM-20”) and NAIC Valuation Manual 21, “Requirements for Principal-Based Reserves for Variable Annuities” (“VM-21”). Aggregate statutory reserves are shown net of the credit taken for reinsurance. Under GAAP, reserves for life-contingent annuity and traditional life insurance products are based on the present value of future benefits less the present value of future net premiums based on mortality, lapse, and other assumptions, which were appropriate at the time the policies were issued or acquired. Reserves for non-life-contingent annuity and universal life insurance products are recognized by establishing a liability equal to the current account value of the policyholders’ contracts, with an additional reserve for certain guaranteed benefits. Aggregate reserves are shown gross with an offsetting reinsurance recoverable;

 

4.Certain assets must be included in the statutory financial statements at “admitted asset value” and “nonadmitted assets” must be excluded through a charge against surplus. No such reduction of asset values is required under GAAP;

 

5.Bonds and redeemable preferred stocks are generally stated at amortized cost and perpetual preferred stocks are stated at fair value. For bonds and preferred stocks stated at fair value, the difference between cost and fair value is reflected in “Change in net unrealized capital gains and losses” in unassigned funds. Under GAAP, bonds and preferred stocks, other than those classified as held to maturity, are stated at fair value with changes recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the balance sheet if classified as available-for-sale securities or in the income statement if classified as trading securities;

 

6.Certain assets and liabilities are reported net of ceded reinsurance balances, which is not permitted by GAAP;

 

7.Realized capital gains and losses are reflected net of transfers to IMR and federal income tax in the Statements of Operations. Under GAAP realized capital gains and losses are reflected on a gross basis in the Income Statement as the IMR concept does not exist in GAAP;

 

8.Deferred federal income tax is provided based upon the expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The admission of gross deferred income taxes is subject to various limitations as specified by NAIC SAP. Under GAAP, gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the assets will not be realized. In addition, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as a separate component of unassigned funds, while under GAAP, these changes are included in income tax expense or benefit in the Income Statement;

 

 15 

 

 

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Statutory Basis)

 

9.The AVR is reported as a liability rather than as a reduction in investments and is charged directly to surplus. No such reserve is required under GAAP;

 

10.The IMR is reported as a liability and the amortization of the IMR is reported in the revenue section of the Statements of Operations. No such reserve is required under GAAP;

 

11.The Statements of Cash Flow are presented in the required statutory format which differs in certain respects from the presentation required by GAAP, including the presentation of the changes in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments instead of cash and cash equivalents. Short-term investments include securities with maturities of one year or less at the time of acquisition. SAP requires no reconciliation between net income and net cash provided by operating activities as required by GAAP;

 

12.The change in the unrealized gains or losses on certain investments is recorded as an increase or decrease in statutory surplus under SAP. Under GAAP, such unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of comprehensive income (loss);

 

13.Any premiums due that are not yet paid, and premiums paid on other than an annual basis, are included in premiums deferred and uncollected on the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. On a GAAP basis, deferred premiums are netted against policy reserves and are generally calculated as a component of gross premiums;

 

14.For reserve credits taken related to reinsurers considered “unauthorized” by the Department, the Company must obtain letters of credit, funds withheld or other forms of collateral in amounts at least equal to the reserve credits. To the extent such collateral is not obtained, the Company must record a liability for reinsurance in unauthorized companies with a charge to unassigned funds. No such liability is recorded for GAAP;

 

15.Market value adjusted annuities are included in the Company’s general account for GAAP purposes, but are included in Separate Accounts on a statutory basis;

 

16.Goodwill of entities acquired is recorded at the parent level for NAIC SAP and amortized. Under GAAP, goodwill is recorded at the subsidiary level at cost and tested for impairment using a fair value methodology at least annually;

 

17.Under SAP, surplus notes are reported as equity rather than as a liability for GAAP; and

 

18.Acquisitions and reinsurance transactions can be subject to different accounting treatments due to differences in risk transfer and business combination assessments. Certain acquisitions of inforce business are accounted for as reinsurance pursuant to Statutory guidelines but are subject to Purchase GAAP accounting (“PGAAP”) guidelines for GAAP reporting purposes due to their qualification as a business combination.

  

The differences between NAIC SAP and GAAP have not been quantified as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 or for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022; however, the differences are presumed to be material.

3.         Accounting Changes and Prior Period Adjustments

 

Accounting Changes

 

The NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group adopted revisions to SSAP No. 86 “Derivatives”. These revisions provide for more consistency between SAP and U.S. GAAP with respect to the assessment of effective hedge relationships and introduce additional guidance for the application of certain hedging methods. The revisions are effective January 1, 2023. The revised guidance will not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 32, “Preferred Stock” (“SSAP No. 32R”), which refined definitions of preferred stock categories and updated accounting guidance for certain categories of preferred stock. Under the revised guidance in SSAP No. 32R, all perpetual preferred stocks shall be reported at fair value, not to exceed any currently effective call price. The adoption of these revisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No.106, “Affordable Care Act Section 9010 Assessment” (“SSAP No. 106R”) which relate to the repeal by Congress of the Affordable Care Act Section 9010 Assessment, also known as the health insurer’s tax (HIT). The adoption of these revisions had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

As of January 1, 2020, VM-21 replaced Actuarial Guideline 43 (AG43) for the valuation of statutory reserves for variable annuities. The cumulative net impact of this regulation change was a $0.9 million decrease in reserves. The change was recorded directly in “Unassigned funds – surplus” as a “Change in reserve on account of change in valuation basis”. The financial statement impact of this change was to decrease “Aggregate reserves: Life policies and contracts” and increase both “Change in reserve on account of change in valuation basis”, and “Unassigned funds - surplus” by $0.9 million. In accordance with the provisions of SSAP No. 3, “Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors” (“SSAP No. 3”), the $0.9 million cumulative effect represents the January 1, 2020 impact of the change.

 

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted SSAP No. 108, “Derivative Hedging Variable Annuity Guarantees” (“SSAP No. 108”), which prescribes guidance for derivatives that hedge interest rate risk of variable annuity guarantees reserved under VM-21. The guidance in SSAP No. 108 is not currently applicable to the Company’s derivatives, and the adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 22. “Leases”, (“SSAP No. 22R”). SSAP No. 22R rejected U.S. GAAP guidance on operating leases, but incorporated, with modification, guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, lessor accounting and leveraged leases for all new leases, and for existing leases reassessed due to a change in terms and conditions. The adoption of these revisions had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Effective June 30, 2020, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 105, “Working Capital Finance Investments” (“SSAP No. 105R”), which provided substantive updates to the Working Capital Finance Investments Program requirements. The Company holds no working capital finance investments, and therefore this adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Prior Period Adjustments

 

During the December 31, 2022 statutory filing, the Company identified an error in the process to record an accrual for accumulated interest related to a profit share reinsurance agreement. The Company’s “Other policyholders' funds and policy contract liabilities” was understated by $4.2 million and “Deferred tax asset” understated by $0.9 million as of December 31, 2021. The net effect of these changes was a decrease in “Unassigned funds - surplus” of $3.3 million which was reported as a “Prior period adjustments”. In accordance with the provisions of SSAP No. 3, this amount represents the January 1, 2022 impact of the correction.

 

For the March 31, 2021 statutory filing, the Company corrected its calculation of disabled life reserves as reported on its December 31, 2020 statutory annual statement. The correction was due to the inadvertent exclusion of certain policies from the reserve calculation as of December 31, 2020. The adjustments related to this correction resulted in an increase to “Aggregate reserves: Life policies and contracts” of $4.6 million and an increase to “Current federal income tax recoverable” of $0.9 million, in addition to an increase in “Deferred tax asset” of $0.1 million, with an offsetting increase in “Deferred tax asset” non-admitted of $0.1 million. The net effect of these changes was a decrease in “Unassigned funds - surplus” of $3.7 million, which was reported as a “Prior period adjustment”. In accordance with the provisions of SSAP No. 3, this change represents the January 1, 2021 impact of the correction.

 

For the June 30, 2021 statutory filing, the Company corrected its Universal Life (“UL”) policyholder reserve calculation as reported on its December 31, 2020 statutory annual statement. The correction was due to the use of an incorrect UL guaranteed rate in the policyholder reserve calculation. The adjustments related to this correction resulted in an increase to “Aggregate reserves: Life policies and contracts” of $1.1 million and an increase to “Current federal income tax recoverable” of $0.1 million, in addition to an increase in “Deferred tax asset” of $0.1 million, with an offsetting increase in “Deferred tax asset” non-admitted of $0.1 million. The net effect of these changes was a decrease to “Unassigned funds - surplus” of $1.0 million which was reported as a “Prior period adjustment”. In accordance with the provisions of SSAP No. 3, this change represents the January 1, 2021 impact of the correction.

For securities other than loan-backed securities, the Company generally considers a number of factors in determining whether an impairment is other than temporary (please see the “Loan-backed and Structured Securities” section for information on loan-backed security OTTIs). These include, but are not limited to: 1) actions taken by rating agencies, 2) default by the issuer, 3) the significance of the decline, 4) an assessment of the Company’s intent to sell the security (including a more likely than not assessment of whether the Company will be required to sell the security) before recovering the security's amortized cost, 5) the duration of the decline, 6) an economic analysis of the issuer's industry, and 7) the financial strength, liquidity, and recoverability of the issuer. Management performs a security-by-security review each quarter in evaluating the need for any OTTIs. Although no set formula is used in this process, the investment performance, collateral position, and continued viability of the issuer are significant measures considered. For securities in an unrealized loss position for which an OTTI was not recognized, the Company believes that it will collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the securities in effect at the date of acquisition and has the intent and the ability to hold these securities until recovery. The Company recognized $0, $0, and $21.1 million of OTTIs on non-loan-backed securities during 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Statutory Basis)

 

The Company had securities with a fair value of $528.2 million in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months as of December 31, 2022, and the related unrealized loss of $187.1 million pertains primarily to banking, residential mortgage-backed, and healthcare securities. The Company had securities with a fair value of $9.8 million in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months as of December 31, 2021, and the related unrealized loss of $0.5 million pertains primarily to healthcare and energy securities. The aggregate decline in fair value of these securities was deemed temporary due to positive factors supporting the recoverability of the respective investments. Positive factors considered included credit ratings, the financial health of the investee, the continued access of the investee to capital markets, and other pertinent information.

 

There were no individual bonds that exceeded 10% of capital and surplus as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, bonds and cash having a fair value of $8.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively, were on deposit with various governmental authorities as required by law.

 

The Company held no securities with a 5GI NAIC rating as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Loan-Backed and Structured Securities

 

For the impairment review of loan-backed and structured securities, the Company employed the retrospective method during the period, basing its assumptions regarding expected maturity dates on market interest rates and overall economic conditions. The information that was used for these assumptions was provided by a nationally recognized, real-time database.

 

For each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, no OTTIs were recorded due to an intent to sell these securities. Also, no such impairments were recorded due to an inability or lack of intent to retain the securities for a period of time sufficient to recover their amortized cost.

 

For the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized no OTTIs for loan-backed securities.

 

All impaired securities (fair value is less than cost or amortized cost) for which an OTTI has not been recognized in the Statements of Operations as a realized loss (including securities with a recognized OTTI for non-interest related declines when a non-recognized interest related impairment remains) are as follows as of December 31:

 

   2022   2021 
   ($ in thousands) 
The aggregate amount of unrealized losses:        
    Less than 12 months  $94,315   $4,856 
    Twelve months or longer  $37,733   $ 
           
The aggregate related fair value of securities with unrealized losses:          
    Less than 12 months  $446,741   $257,006 
    Twelve months or longer  $107,989   $

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Statutory Basis)

 

In determining whether a loan-backed security had experienced an OTTI, the Company considered the delinquency (and foreclosure status, if applicable) of the underlying loans or mortgages, the expected recovery value of the underlying collateral (if any) in relation to the current amount of the investment, and the degree to which such losses, based upon the foregoing factors, will first be absorbed by tranches that are subordinate to the Company’s securities.

 

The Company has no subprime mortgage-related risk exposure.

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

For repurchase agreements, the Company initiates short-term (typically less than 30 days) collateralized borrowings whereby cash is received, and securities are posted as collateral. The Company reports the cash proceeds as a liability, and the difference between the cash proceeds and the amount at which the securities are reacquired as interest expense. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no repurchase agreements outstanding. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a “Borrowed money” obligation of $43.1 million. The Company has posted $38.8 million (statutory carrying value, prior to nonadmission of $2.2 million of bonds) of its assets as repurchase agreement collateral, which was classified as “Bonds” as of December 31, 2021.

 

Repurchase Agreements Transactions Accounted for as Secured Borrowing

 

While the Company anticipates that the cash flows of its operations will be sufficient to meet its investment commitments and operating cash needs in a normal credit market environment, the Company recognizes that investment commitments scheduled to be funded may, from time to time, exceed the funds then available. Therefore, the Company has established repurchase agreement programs to provide liquidity when needed. The Company expects that the rate received on collateral posted will equal or exceed its borrowing rate. Under this program, the Company may, from time to time, sell an investment security at a specific price and agree to repurchase that security at another specified price at a later date. These borrowings are typically for a term less than 90 days. The fair value of securities to be repurchased is monitored and collateral levels are adjusted where appropriate to protect the counterparty against credit exposure. Cash received is invested in fixed maturity securities, and the agreements provided for net settlement in the event of default or on termination of the agreements. Due to the short tenor of the repurchase agreements, the Company would not expect any stress on liquidity to be an issue.

 

If market deterioration is detected and/or additional sources of liquidity are needed to manage asset/liability mismatches, the Company would draw down short-term investment positions and conserve cash by ceasing new investment activity. The Company also has an intercompany loan agreement set up with the Company’s parent, PLICO, if needed.

The minimum and maximum lending rate for commercial mortgage loans originated by the Company during 2022 was 3.375%. The minimum and maximum lending rates for commercial mortgage loans originated by the Company during 2021 were 3.125% and 3.5%, respectively.

 

The target percentage of any one loan to the value of collateral at the time of the loan, exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages, is generally 75%. The Company uses this loan-to-value ratio as a credit quality indicator, which is a component of the Company’s ongoing monitoring of the credit risk of its mortgage loan portfolio. The Company also monitors borrower conditions such as payment practices, borrower credit, operating performance, and property conditions, as well as ensuring the timely payment of property taxes and insurance. Through this monitoring process, the Company assesses the risk of each loan. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no mortgage loans that exceeded a 75% loan to value ratio based on the most recent appraisal. For loans the Company held as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the maximum percentage of any one loan to the value of security at the time of the loan did not exceed 75%.

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any mortgages with interest more than 90 days past due.

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, no taxes and/or assessments had been advanced but not repaid or included in the mortgage loan total.

 

The Company’s mortgage loans of $291.9 million and $371.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were current.

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no foreclosed properties or impaired loans. The Company reported no valuation allowances on any loans at either December 31, 2022 and 2021. No activity occurred in the allowance for credit losses during 2022, 2021, and 2020.

On March 27, 2020, H.R. 748, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), was signed into law. Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides additional relief for certain loan modifications made as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law, which slightly modified and extended the original CARES Act through January 1, 2022. In conjunction with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, the NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group extended certain limited time exceptions in INT 20-03 and INT 20-07, which align with the provisions of the CARES Act, as amended, and provide relief from the requirement to assess certain loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings or more than minor modifications for certain loans modified in response to COVID-19. In consideration of this guidance, the Company has provided certain relief to certain of its commercial loan borrowers via its COVID-19 Commercial Mortgage Loan Program (the “Loan Modification Program”). The provisions of INT 20-03 and 20-07 expired on January 2, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a total of 7 loans with $134.6 million in unpaid principal balance under the Loan Modification Program. The modifications under this program may include agreements to defer principal payments only or to defer principal and interest payments for a specified period of time. None of these modifications were considered troubled debt restructurings.

 

The Company did not restructure any debt during 2022 and 2021.

 

Common Stock-Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Agreements

 

The Company is a member of the FHLB of New York. Through its membership, the Company may receive cash advances as a result of issuing funding agreements to and entering repurchase agreements with the FHLB of New York. The Company had no advances outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

The Company uses funds obtained from the funding agreements in an investment spread strategy, consistent with its other investment spread operations. The Company applies SSAP No. 52, “Deposit-Type Contracts” accounting treatment to the funding agreements, consistent with its other deposit-type contracts. It is not part of the Company’s strategy to utilize these funds for operations, and any funds obtained from the FHLB of New York for use in general operations would be accounted for consistently with SSAP No. 15, “Debt and Holding Company Obligations”.

 

Amounts received under repurchase agreements are accounted for pursuant to SSAP No. 103R, “Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”.

 

The Company’s FHLB stock was classified as “Membership stock – Class B” and was not eligible for redemption. All of the FHLB stock was held in the General Account and totaled $1.4 million and $1.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Wash Sales

 

In the normal course of the Company’s investment management, securities can be sold and reacquired within 30 days. This practice is known as wash sales. The Company did not record any wash sales for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

 

5.          Income Taxes

 

The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of PLC and its subsidiaries. The method of allocation of current income taxes between the affiliates is subject to a written agreement under which the Company incurs a liability to PLC to the extent that a separate return calculation indicates that the Company has a federal income tax liability. If the Company has an income tax benefit, the benefit is recorded currently to the extent that it can be carried back against prior years’ separate company income tax expense. Any amount not carried back is carried forward on a separate company basis. Income taxes recoverable (payable) are recorded in the federal income taxes receivable (payable) account and are settled periodically, per the tax sharing agreement.

On August 16, 2022, H.R. 5376, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. In general, beginning in 2023, it imposes a 15% Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“CAMT”) on U.S. corporations if their average annual financial statement pre-tax income exceeds $1 billion. When applicable, this criterion includes such income of a U.S. corporation’s foreign parent. The Company expects to meet this criterion and may be liable for this new tax in the future. The income tax related impacts of the IRA are not material to the Company’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2022.

6.          Information Concerning Parent, Subsidiaries and Affiliates

 

The Company received no capital contributions in 2022, 2021, and 2020.

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Statutory Basis)

 

The Company entered into an agreement with PLICO in 2014 in which a loan can be given to or received from PLICO subject to certain limitations as described in the agreement. The Company had no loaned or borrowed amounts under this agreement as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

7.          Capital and Surplus, Shareholder’s Dividend Restrictions

 

The Company has 2,500,000 common stock shares authorized, issued, and outstanding. All shares are owned by PLICO as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Under the insurance regulations of New York, the maximum amount of dividends which can be paid by New York insurance companies without the prior approval of the Superintendent is subject to certain restrictions. The Company, as a domestic stock life insurance company of the State of New York, may distribute without prior approval from, or notification provided to the Superintendent, a dividend to its stockholder where the aggregate amount of such dividends in any calendar year does not exceed the lesser of: ten percent of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year; or its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. Additionally, the Company may distribute without prior approval from the Superintendent, dividends to its stockholder out of earned surplus where the aggregate amount of such dividends in any calendar year does not exceed the greater of: ten percent of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year; or its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains, provided that the dividend is reported to the Superintendent within five days following the dividend declaration, and at least ten days prior to the dividend payment, and that such payment is reasonable in relation to the Company’s outstanding liabilities and ability to meet its financial needs. Payment of dividends exceeding the greater of ten percent of its surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year, or its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains, requires the insurer to file notice of its intent to declare such dividends with the Superintendent who then has 30 days to disapprove the distribution. The Company is eligible to pay dividends of $35.0 million during 2023 without receiving permission from, or providing notification to, the Superintendent prior to dividend declaration or payment.

 

The Company had cumulative unrealized gains (losses) of $(1.6) million and $(617) thousand as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The portion of unassigned funds reduced for nonadmitted assets was $66.8 million and $75.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

On August 15, 1994, the Company completed the sale of $125 million of 30-year Surplus Notes. Effective September 19, 2021, the Company, with prior approval from the Department, redeemed the remaining outstanding Surplus Notes principal of $1.9 million in accordance with the terms of the Surplus Notes. The carrying value of the Surplus Notes was $1.1 million at September 19, 2021, resulting in a loss on retirement of $0.8 million recognized in miscellaneous expense.

During 2014, the Company received permission from the Department to restate its “Gross paid-in and contributed surplus” and “Unassigned funds - surplus” under a quasi-reorganization pursuant to SSAP No. 72, “Surplus and Quasi-Reorganizations”. The effective date of this quasi-reorganization was January 1, 2014. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was no effect on the Company’s financial statements from this quasi-reorganization.

 

The NAIC's risk-based capital requirements require insurance companies to calculate and report information under a risk-based capital formula. These requirements are intended to allow insurance regulators to identify inadequately capitalized insurance companies based upon the types and mixtures of risk inherent in the insurer's operations. The formula includes components for asset risk, liability risk, interest rate exposure, and other factors. The Company was adequately capitalized under the formula at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

8.          Liabilities, Contingencies and Assessments

 

The Company has not entered into any contingent commitments or guarantees. The Company did not recognize any gain contingencies during the three-year period ended December 31, 2022.

 

The Company paid no claims in the reporting period to settle claims-related extra contractual obligations or bad faith claims stemming from lawsuits during 2022, 2021, and 2020.

 

Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc. ("SRUS") was placed in rehabilitation on March 6, 2019 by the State of Delaware. Under the related order, the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Delaware has been appointed the receiver of SRUS (the “Receiver”) and provided with authority to conduct and continue the business of SRUS in the interest of its cedents, creditors, and stockholder. The order was accompanied by an injunction requiring the continued payment of reinsurance premiums to SRUS and temporarily prohibiting cedents, including the Company, from offsetting premiums payable against receivables from SRUS. On June 20, 2019, the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Court”) entered an order approving a Revised Offset Plan, which allows cedents, including the Company, to offset premiums under certain circumstances.

 

A proposed Rehabilitation Plan (“Original Rehabilitation Plan”) was filed by the Receiver on June 30, 2020. The Original Rehabilitation Plan presents the following two options to each cedent: 1) remain in business with SRUS and be governed by the Rehabilitation Plan, or 2) recapture business ceded to SRUS. Due to SRUS’s financial status, neither option would pay 100% of the Company’s outstanding claims. The Original Rehabilitation Plan would impose certain financial terms and conditions on the cedents based on the election made, the type of business ceded, the manner in which the business is collateralized, and the amount of losses sustained by the cedent. On October 9, 2020, the Receiver filed a proposed order setting forth a schedule to present the Original Rehabilitation Plan for Court approval, which order contemplated possible modifications to the Rehabilitation Plan to be filed with the Court by March 16, 2021. The Court approved the order. On March 16, 2021, the Receiver filed a draft Amended Rehabilitation Plan (“Amended Plan”). The majority of the substance and form of the original Rehabilitation Plan, including its two-option structure described above, remained in place.

 

For much of 2020 and into early 2021, a group of interested parties collectively requested certain information and financial data from the Receiver that would allow them to more fully evaluate first the Original Rehabilitation Plan and then the Amended Plan. This group also had a number of conversations with counsel for the Receiver regarding concerns over the Plan. On June 30, 2022, the Receiver filed a motion seeking approval of a Modified Plan, along with a number of financial disclosure documents, including a liquidation analysis. While there are significant changes proposed in the Modified Plan (as compared to the Original Rehabilitation Plan and the Amended Plan), much of the economic substance (including not paying claims in full) of the Original/Amended Rehabilitation Plan are included in the Modified Plan.

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Statutory Basis)

  

The Court provided a framework to be followed by the Receiver to seek formal approval of the Rehabilitation Plan. This framework included filing the motion specifically seeking that relief and supporting that motion with the disclosure document containing the information that the Receiver believes is sufficient to enable parties to evaluate whether to object. In response to that document, interested parties (those with standing) may file objections and seek discovery. On October 24, 2022, a number of interested parties filed objections to the Modified Plan. After discovery, the parties will brief the issues and an evidentiary hearing on the Rehabilitation Plan will follow. A tentative timeline, beginning in August 2022, has been set, although given the inherent delays associated with the case, the tentative timeline is likely to be extended.

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding claim reserves from SRUS of $0.5 million, including a recoverable of $0.5 million. In addition, the Company had a statutory reserve credit of $3.3 million at December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company accrued a loss contingency reserve of $1.9 million under SSAP No. 5R, “Liabilities, Contingencies, and Impairment of Assets” with respect to amounts receivable from SRUS for ceded claims and reserves. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding claims recoverable of $0.2 million and a statutory reserve credit of $3.8 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company accrued a loss contingency reserve of $3.3 million under SSAP No. 5R, “Liabilities, Contingencies, and Impairment of Assets” (“SSAP No. 5R”) with respect to amounts receivable from SRUS for ceded claims and reserves. The Company continues to monitor SRUS and the actions of the receiver through discussions with legal counsel and review of publicly available information. As of December 31, 2022, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of the rehabilitation process will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

A number of judgments have been returned against insurers, broker dealers and other providers of financial services involving, among other things, sales, underwriting practices, product design, product disclosure, administration, denial or delay of benefits, benefit payment methods, charging excessive or impermissible fees, recommending unsuitable products to customers, breaching fiduciary or other duties to customers, refund or claims practices, alleged agent misconduct, failure to properly supervise representatives, relationships with agents or persons with whom the insurer does business, payment of sales and other contingent commissions, and other matters. Often these legal proceedings have resulted in the award of substantial judgments that are disproportionate to actual damages, including material amounts of punitive and non-economic compensatory damages. In some states, juries, judges, and arbitrators have substantial discretion in awarding punitive non-economic compensatory damages which creates the potential for unpredictable material adverse judgments or awards in any given legal proceeding. Arbitration awards are subject to very limited appellate review. In addition, in some legal proceedings, companies have made material settlement payments. In some instances, substantial judgments may be the result of a party’s perceived ability to satisfy such judgments as opposed to the facts and circumstances regarding the claims made.

 

The Company, like other insurance companies, in the ordinary course of business, is involved in legal proceedings. The Company cannot predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, nor can it provide an estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, that may result from such legal proceeding. However, with respect to such legal proceedings, the Company does not expect that its ultimate liability, if any, will be material to its financial condition.

9.          Reinsurance

 

The Company remains liable with respect to ceded reinsurance should any reinsurer fail to meet the obligations that it assumed. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors the associated concentration of credit risk.

 

The Company has ceded the following to non-affiliated insurers as of and for the years ended December 31 as follows:

 

   2022   2021 
         
   ($ in thousands) 
Life:        
Insurance in-force   1,375,001    1,609,866 
Policy and claim reserves ceded   63,191    68,408 
Policy and claim liabilities ceded   2,059    3,956 
Premiums ceded   13,829    13,811 
           
Accident and health:          
Policy and claim reserves ceded   153,826    169,881 
Policy and claim liabilities ceded   2,712    3,308 
Premiums ceded   13,998    15,828 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company ceded life premiums of $15.3 million and accident and health premiums of $18.4 million to non-affiliated insurers.

 

The Company assumed accident and health policy claim liabilities from non-affiliated insurers of $0.2 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, the Company assumed no accident and health premiums from non-affiliated insurers.

 

None of the Company’s reinsurers are owned in excess of 10% or controlled, either directly or indirectly, by the Company or any representative, officer, trustee, or director of the Company. No policies issued by the Company have been reinsured with a company chartered in a country other than the United States (excluding U.S. Branches of such companies) which is owned in excess of 10% or controlled directly or indirectly by an insured, a beneficiary, a creditor of an insured or any other person not primarily engaged in the insurance business.

 

The Company does not have any reinsurance agreements in effect under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel any reinsurance for reasons other than for nonpayment of premium or other similar credits. The Company does not have any reinsurance agreements in effect such that the amount of losses paid or accrued through the statement date may result in a payment to the reinsurer of amounts which, in aggregate and allowing for offset of mutual credits from other reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer, exceed the total direct premium collected under the reinsured policies.

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Statutory Basis)

 

The Company had no aggregate reductions to surplus for terminations of reinsurance agreements during 2022, 2021, and 2020. No new agreements were executed, or existing agreements amended, during 2022, 2021, and 2020 to include policies or contracts which were in force or which had existing reserves established by the Company as of the effective date of the agreement.

 

The Company has not written any receivables off as uncollectible. The Company had $2.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of non-admitted reinsurance receivables as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

The Company had no material commutation of ceded reinsurance during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

 

10.Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The table below presents a summary of the contractual amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments as of December 31:

 

   2022   2021 
         
   ($ in thousands) 
Commitments to extend mortgage loans  $15,312   $7,250 

 

Commitments to extend mortgage loans are agreements to lend to a borrower, provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. The Company enters into these agreements to commit to future loan fundings at a predetermined interest rate. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.

 

For commitments to extend mortgage loans, the amounts presented above do not represent amounts at risk if the counterparty defaults.

 

The collateral held for commitments to extend mortgage loans is a cash commitment fee, which is forfeited if the counterparty fails to perform.

 

11.        Closed Block and Participating Policies

 

During 1998, for policyholder dividend purposes only, the Company established the closed block (the “Closed Block”) of participating business for the exclusive benefit of the policies included therein. Assets were allocated to the Closed Block in an amount that produces cash flows which, together with anticipated revenue from the in-force policies in the Closed Block, are reasonably expected to be sufficient to support the Closed Block including, but not limited to, provisions for payment of claims and surrender benefits, certain expenses and taxes, and to provide for continuation of dividend scales payable in 1998, if the experience underlying such dividend scales continues, and for appropriate adjustments in such scales if the experience changes.

 

None of the assets held as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, including the revenue therefrom, allocated to the Closed Block or acquired by the Closed Block will revert to the benefit of PLICO as sole stockholder of the Company, or to the Company’s former parent and stockholder. No assets may be reallocated or transferred between the Closed Block and any other portion of PLICO’s General Account or any of its Separate Accounts or any person affiliated with PLICO without the prior approval of the Department. The Closed Block assets and liabilities are carried on the same basis as similar assets and liabilities held in the General Account.

The 2023 Closed Block dividend scale will reflect a decrease relative to the 2022 and 2021 scales due to a reduction in the dividend interest rate which was approved on October 19, 2022.

 

Summarized balance sheet information for the Closed Block is as follows:

 

  

For The Years Ended

December 31

 
   2022   2021 
   ($ in thousands) 
Bonds and common stocks  $3,967,665   $4,019,504 
Mortgage loans on real estate   1,912    65,832 
Contract loans   533,998    557,526 
Cash and other invested assets   195,918    192,112 
Other assets   68,981    70,436

Other liabilities   119,211    154,738 
Total Closed Block liabilities  $5,161,258   $5,311,295 

 

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, total closed and open block direct premiums under individual and group insurance participating policies were $154.1 million or 76.3%, $183.3 million or 86.4%, and $209.3 million or 92.6% of direct individual and group premiums earned. The aggregate amount of divisible surplus to be distributed during the year is determined by Company management with due recognition to factors including solvency of the Company, its ability to meet all contractual obligations, and the existence of the Closed Block which was established as part of MONY's Plan of Reorganization effective November 16, 1998. The aggregate divisible surplus is then divided among policyholders in the proportion that their policies are considered to have contributed to divisible surplus. In addition, as specified in MONY's Plan of Reorganization, dividend scales for Closed Block policies are based on changes in the specific experience for this business relative to the experience underlying the 1998 dividend scale. The liability for dividends payable in the following year is included in “Other policyholders' funds and policy and contract liabilities”. The change in this liability is charged or credited to current year operations in “Dividends to policyholders”. Dividends to policyholders were $60.8 million, $82.5 million, and $80.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The Company has not allocated any additional income to participating policyholders.

14. Premiums Deferred and Uncollected

 

Life insurance premiums deferred and uncollected represent annual or fractional premiums, either due and uncollected or not yet due, where policy reserves have been provided on the assumption that the full premium for the current policy year has been collected.

 

Deferred and uncollected life insurance premiums, net of reinsurance, as of December 31 were as follows:

 

2022

15.Separate Accounts

 

The Company utilizes Separate Accounts to record and account for assets and liabilities for particular lines of business and/or transactions. For the current reporting year, The Company reported assets and liabilities from the following product lines/transactions into a Separate Account:

 

Variable life

Variable annuity

 

In accordance with the domiciliary state procedures approving items within the Separate Account, the Separate Account classification of variable life and variable annuity are supported by New York State Statute Section 4240.

 

In accordance with the products/transactions recorded within the Separate Account, some assets are considered legally insulated whereas others are not legally insulated from the General Account. (The legal insulation of the Separate Account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the General Account.)

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Statutory Basis)

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s Separate Account included legally insulated assets of $131.7 million and $176.2 million, respectively. The assets legally insulated from the General Account as of December 31 are attributed to the following products/transactions:

  

2022    
     
Product  Legally Insulated
Assets
 
    ($ in thousands)  
Variable annuities  $71,797

Product  Legally Insulated
Assets
 
    ($ in thousands) 
Variable annuities  $97,134 
Variable life   79,068 
Total  176,202 

 

In accordance with the products/transaction recorded within the Separate Account, some Separate Account liabilities are guaranteed by the General Account. In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the General Account.

 

Any of the Separate Account products the Company offers with guarantees from the General Account do not have explicit charges broken out from other mortality and expense charges.

 

None of the Company’s Separate Accounts engage in securities lending transactions.

 

Most separate and variable accounts held by the Company relate to individual variable annuities and group annuities of a nonguaranteed return nature. These variable annuities generally provide an incidental death benefit of the greater of account value or premium paid less any surrenders and surrender charges. Certain other Separate Accounts are used as funding vehicles for flexible premium variable life insurance policies, variable life insurance with additional premium option policies and variable universal life policies. The net investment experience of the Separate Accounts is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative. The assets and liabilities of these accounts are carried at fair value. This business has been included in the “Nonguaranteed Separate Account” column of the table below.

 

Certain other Separate Accounts relate to experience-rated group annuity contracts, which fund defined contributions pension plans. These contracts provide guaranteed interest returns for one year only, where the guaranteed interest rate is re-established each year based on the investment experience of the Separate Account. The liabilities of these Separate Accounts are carried at book value. This business has been included in the “Nonindexed Guarantee Less Than 4%” column of the table below.

16.Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments in accordance with SSAP No. 100R, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The definition of fair value in SSAP No. 100R focuses on an “exit price”, the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability. Included in various line items in the statutory financial statements are certain financial instruments carried at fair value. Other financial instruments are periodically measured at fair value, such as when impaired, or, for certain bonds and preferred stocks, when carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

 

The Company's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100R. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The hierarchy is defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or significant inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include the following:

 

(a)Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,
(b)Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets,
(c)Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable, and
(d)Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

 

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

The following tables provides information as of December 31 about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value:

Fair Value Methodology

 

Description of Pricing Inputs

 

The Company predominantly uses third-party pricing services and broker quotes to determine fair values. The third-party pricing services and brokers use certain inputs to determine the value of asset-backed securities, including residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and other asset-backed securities. For these securities, the valuation consists of inputs such as, but not limited to: 1) monthly principal and interest payments on the underlying assets, 2) average lives of the securities, 3) prepayment speeds, 4) credit spreads, 5) treasury and swap yield curves, 6) discount margins, and 7) credit ratings of the securities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(Statutory Basis)

 

To price corporate bonds, U.S. government-related securities, and other government-related securities, the brokers and third-party pricing services utilize a valuation model that consists of a hybrid income and market approach to valuation, while the Company uses a discounted cash flow model with both observable and unobservable inputs to determine a price when the securities are illiquid bonds. The external and internal pricing models include inputs such as, but not limited to: 1) principal and interest payments, 2) coupon, 3) maturity, 4) treasury yield curve, 5) credit spreads from new issue and secondary trading markets, 6) dealer quotes with adjustments for issues with early redemption features, 7) illiquidity premiums, 8) discount margins from dealers in the new issue market, 9) underlying collateral, and 10) comparative bond analysis.

 

The third-party pricing services price equity securities using market observable prices for the same or similar securities traded in an active market.

 

Mortgage loan valuations are categorized as Level 3. The Company utilizes an internally developed model to estimate fair value. This model includes inputs derived by the Company based on assumed discount rates relative to the Company’s current mortgage lending rate and an expected cash flow analysis based on a review of the mortgage loan terms. The model also contains the Company’s determined representative risk adjustment assumptions related to nonperformance and liquidity risks.

 

The Company’s Separate Account assets consist of financial instruments similar to those held in the General Account. The Company utilizes the same valuation methodology as described above in determining the fair value of Separate Account assets as the Company does for General Account assets. All assets in the Separate Account are held at fair value. Excluding the impact of an $2 thousand and $6 thousand negative IMR held at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Separate Account liability matches the Separate Account asset value and its fair value is determined from valuation methods that are consistent with the Separate Account assets.

 

Determination of Fair Values

 

The valuation methodologies used to determine the fair values of assets and liabilities reflect market participant assumptions and are based on the application of the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable market inputs over unobservable inputs. The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and financial liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available. The Company also determines certain fair values based on future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. Fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s credit standing, liquidity, and where appropriate, risk margins on unobservable parameters. The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values for financial instruments owned by the Company.

 

The fair values of corporate bonds, government securities, equity securities, and mortgage-backed securities are determined by management after considering one of three primary sources of information: third-party pricing services, non-binding independent broker quotations, or pricing matrices. Security pricing is applied using a ‘‘waterfall’’ approach whereby publicly available prices are first sought from third-party pricing services, and the remaining unpriced securities are submitted to independent brokers for non-binding prices. Typical inputs used by these pricing methods include, but are not limited to: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. Based on the typical trading volumes and the lack of quoted market prices for fixed maturities, third-party pricing services derive the majority of security prices from observable market inputs such as recent reported trades for identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information outlined above. If there are no recent reported trades, the third-party pricing services and brokers may use matrix or model processes to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate. Certain securities are priced via independent non-binding broker quotations, which are considered to have no significant unobservable inputs. When using non-binding independent broker quotations, the Company obtains two quotes per security when available. Where multiple broker quotes are obtained, the Company reviews the quotes and selects the quote that provides the best estimate of the price a market participant would pay for these specific assets in an arm’s-length transaction. A pricing matrix is used to price securities for which the Company is unable to obtain or effectively rely on either a price from a third-party pricing service or an independent broker quotation.

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(Statutory Basis)

 

The Company has analyzed the third-party pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs and has also evaluated the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. Based on this evaluation and investment class analysis, each price was classified into Level 1, 2, or 3. Most prices provided by third-party pricing services are classified into Level 2 because the significant inputs used in pricing the securities are market observable and the observable inputs are corroborated by the Company. Since the matrix pricing of certain debt securities includes significant non-observable inputs, they are classified as Level 3.

 

The pricing matrix used by the Company begins with current spread levels to determine the market price for the security. The credit spreads, assigned by brokers, incorporate the issuer’s credit rating, liquidity discounts, weighted average of contracted cash flows, risk premium, if warranted, due to the issuer’s industry, and the security’s time to maturity. The Company uses credit ratings provided by nationally recognized rating agencies.

 

For securities that are priced via non-binding independent broker quotations, the Company assesses whether prices received from independent brokers represent a reasonable estimate of fair value through an analysis using internal and external cash flow models developed based on spreads and, when available, market indices. The Company uses a market-based cash flow analysis to validate the reasonableness of prices received from independent brokers. These analytics, which are updated daily, incorporate various metrics (yield curves, credit spreads, prepayment rates, etc.) to determine the valuation of such holdings. As a result of this analysis, if the Company determines there is a more appropriate fair value based upon the analytics, the price received from the independent broker is adjusted accordingly. The Company did not adjust any quotes or prices received from brokers during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

The Company estimates the fair value of mortgage loans using an internally developed model. This model includes inputs derived by the Company based on assumed discount rates relative to the Company’s current mortgage loan lending rate and an expected cash flow analysis based on a review of the mortgage loan terms. The model also contains the Company’s determined representative risk adjustment assumptions related to nonperformance and liquidity risks.

 

Contract and policy loans are funds provided to policy holders in return for a claim on the account value of the policy. The funds provided are limited to a certain percent of the account balance. The nature of contract loans is to have low default risk as the loans are fully collateralized by the value of the policy. The majority of contract loans do not have a stated maturity and the balances and accrued interest are repaid with proceeds from the policy account balance. Due to the collateralized nature of contract loans and unpredictable timing of repayments, the Company’s fair value of contract loans approximates carrying value.

 

The majority of securities in the Company’s Separate Accounts consist of mutual funds valued at fair value. All other publicly traded bonds and stocks are also valued at fair value. Direct placement bonds and warrants are stated at fair value, as determined by the Company or third-party appraisers. Short-term investments held in money market Separate Accounts are stated at fair value regardless of the length of maturity. Short-term investments held in all other Separate Accounts with remaining maturity at acquisition of (i) sixty days or less are stated at amortized cost which, the Company believes when combined with accrued income, approximates fair value; or (ii) more than sixty days are stated at fair value. Investments in shares of respective trusts are stated at fair value, which reflects the net asset value of the various portfolios. Net asset values are based upon market or fair values of the securities held in each of the corresponding portfolios of the funds.

 

Deposit-type contracts include annuities certain, supplemental contracts, and dividend accumulations. The Company estimates the fair values of annuities certain and supplemental contracts using models based on discounted estimated cash flows. The discount rates used in the models were based on a current market rate for similar financial instruments. The Company estimates that the fair value of dividend accumulations approximates carrying value.

 

The Company held no financial instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, for which it was not practicable to estimate fair value. The Company held no investments measured at NAV as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

17.Retained Assets

 

The Company accounts for retained assets in a manner similar to supplementary contracts. Claims expense is reported in “Death and annuity benefits” in the Statements of Operations. In lieu of a cash payment to the beneficiary, a liability is established in “Liability for deposit-type contracts” in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The credited rate during 2022, 2021, and 2020 for accounts administered by Northern Trust was 0.25%. For accounts administered by Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), which were introduced during 2014, the credited rate for 2020 and through March 2021 was 0.40% for accounts opened prior to May 1, 2019 and 1.0% for accounts opened on or after May 1, 2019. After April 1, 2021 and for 2022, the credited rate for all BNYM accounts was 0.4%.

 

No fees were charged to retained asset account owners during the three-year period ended December 31, 2022.
