Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Minnesota Life Insurance Company and Contract Owners of Variable Annuity Account:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities, and contract owners' equity of the sub-accounts listed in the Appendix that comprise Variable Annuity Account (the Separate Account) as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods presented in Note 7. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each sub-account as of December 31, 2024, the results of its operations for the year, the changes in its net assets for each of the years, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods presented in Note 7, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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, 2024, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying mutual funds. 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 or our predecessor firms have served as the Separate Account's auditor since 1985.

Variable Annuity Account
Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2024

(1)  Organization and Basis of Presentation

The Variable Annuity Account (the Account) was established on September 10, 1984 as a segregated asset account of Minnesota Life Insurance Company (Minnesota Life) under Minnesota law and is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended). The Account currently offers the following nineteen types of variable annuity contracts consisting of ninety-seven segregated sub-accounts (collectively, the Sub-Accounts) to which contract owners may allocate their purchase payments: MultiOption Flex, MultiOption Single, and MultiOption Select (each of which has the same mortality and expense charges and unit value); MultiOption Classic and MultiOption Achiever (each of which has the same mortality and expense charges, administrative charges, and unit value); MegAnnuity; UMOA; MultiOption Advisor B, C, and L Class; Adjustable Income Annuity; MultiOption Legend; MultiOption Extra; MultiOption Guide B and L Series; Waddell & Reed Retirement Builder; Waddell & Reed Retirement Builder II B and L Series; and MultiOption Momentum. Such payments are then invested in shares of the portfolios. The Account's mortality and expense risk charge and administrative charge vary based on the contract and optional benefits that are issued. The differentiating features of the contracts are described in Note 3 below.

The assets of each segregated Sub-Account are held for the exclusive benefit of the variable annuity contract owners and are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of the business conducted by any other account or by Minnesota Life. The Account currently offers the following Sub-Accounts:

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Account and Sub-Accounts are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

The significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Account are as follows:

(a)  Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(b)  Investments in Underlying Funds

Investments in shares of the underlying funds are stated at fair value which is the net asset value per share as determined daily by each underlying fund. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined on the first in first out (FIFO) basis.

Realized gains (losses) on investments include capital gain distributions received from the respective underlying funds. Capital gain distributions are reinvested in the respective underlying funds.

All dividend distributions received from the underlying funds are reinvested in additional shares of the underlying funds and are recorded by the Sub-Accounts on the ex-dividend date. The underlying funds may utilize consent dividends to effectively distribute income for income tax purposes. The Sub-Account "consents" to treat these amounts as dividend income for tax purposes although they are not paid by the underlying funds. Therefore, no dividend income is recorded in the Statements of Operations related to such consent dividends.

(c)  Federal Income Taxes

The Account is treated as part of Minnesota Life for federal income tax purposes. Under existing federal income tax law, no income taxes are payable on investment income or capital gain distributions received by the Sub-Account from the underlying funds. Any applicable taxes will be the responsibility of contract holders or beneficiaries upon termination or withdrawal.

Notes to Financial Statements

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

(d)  Contracts in Annuity Payment Period

Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable contracts according to the mortality and assumed interest rate assumptions used to purchase the annuity income. If additional annuity reserves are required to support the liability, Minnesota Life reimburses the Account. If the reserves held are more than required, transfers may be made to Minnesota Life.

(e)  Segment Disclosures

The Sub-Accounts adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) as of January 1, 2024. Adoption of ASU 2023-07 impacted the financial statement disclosures in this note only, and did not affect the financial position of the Sub-Accounts or the results of their operations. Operating segments are components of an entity that engage in business activities, have discrete financial information available, and have their operating results regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (CODM) when assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources. The CODM for the Sub-Accounts is the Senior Vice President, Individual Solutions, of Minnesota Life. Each Sub-Account has operated as a single segment since inception. The CODM assesses Sub-Account performance including investment results reflected in the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations as reported in the Statements of Operations as well as investment income ratios and total return, within the Financial Highlights of the Notes to Financial Statements.

(l)  Other

On May 1, 2014, Minnesota Life and its affiliates undertook a substitution of certain underlying investments in a transaction approved by the SEC. As part of that transaction, Minnesota Life agreed to make a reduction in Sub-Account expenses to those contracts with assets allocated to specified funds on May 1, 2014, as follows:

Securian Funds Trust – SFT Wellington Core Equity Fund – Class 2 Shares – to the extent the fund's annual net operating expenses exceeds 0.89% (Class 2 Shares) or 0.64% (Class 1 Shares), Minnesota Life will make a corresponding reduction in Sub-Account expenses, for the life of each contract outstanding on May 1, 2014, to those contract owners whose Sub-Account invests in the fund.

These fee waivers are reported on the Statements of Operations as "Fees Waived" of the respective Sub-Account.

(4)  Fair Value Measurement

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (FASB ASC 820), fair value is defined as the price that the Account would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment.

The fair value of the Account's financial assets has been determined using available market information as of December 31, 2024. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Account primarily uses the market approach which utilizes relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. When applying the market approach, the Account maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing a financial instrument based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Account. Unobservable inputs reflect the Account's estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing financial assets and financial liabilities based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The Account is required to categorize its financial assets recorded on the Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Contract Owners' Equity according to a three-level hierarchy. A level is assigned to each financial asset and financial liability based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

Level 2 – Fair value is based on other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk and prepayment speed).

Level 3 – Fair value is based on at least one or more significant unobservable inputs, which may include the Account's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

The Account uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date. In periods of market disruption, the ability to observe prices and inputs may be reduced, which could cause an asset or liability to be reclassified to a lower level. Inputs used to measure fair value of an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these situations, the Account will determine the level in which the fair value falls based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value.

(4)  Fair Value Measurement – (continued)

As of December 31, 2024, all of the Account's investments are classified as Level 2 as the values are based upon reported net asset values provided by the fund managers. It has been determined that no transfers between levels occurred during the year. The characterization of the underlying securities held by the funds in accordance with FASB ASC 820 may differ from the characterization of an investment in the fund.

*  These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the underlying mutual fund, net of expenses assessed by the underlying fund, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in a direct reduction in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Sub-Account invests and, to the extent the underlying fund utilizes consent dividends rather than paying dividends in cash or reinvested shares, the Sub-Account does not record investment income. For periods less than one year, the ratios have been annualized.

**  This ratio represents the annualized contract expenses of the Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges. The ratios include expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values as well as applicable fee waivers that result in an increase to the unit values. Charges made directly to a contract owner's account through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded. The ranges of unit fair value

***  These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflect all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. Some individual contract total returns may differ from the stated return due to new products that launched during the period. The total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping and available contract benefits representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts whether or not the product or benefits have been sold.

Independent Auditors’ Report

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Minnesota Life Insurance Company:

 

Opinions

 

We have audited the financial statements of Minnesota Life Insurance Company (the Company), which comprise the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statutory statements of operations and capital and surplus, and cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the statutory financial statements.

 

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024 in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce described in Note 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 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, 2024 and 2023, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024.

 

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 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 Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the financial statements are not intended to be presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the 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.

 

KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and a member firm of
the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with
KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

 

 

 

 

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

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

 

In preparing the 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 financial statements are issued.

 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 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 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 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 financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information included in the schedule of selected financial data, the schedule of supplemental investment risks interrogatories, the summary investment schedule and the schedule of supplemental reinsurance risks interrogatories is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Minnesota Department of Commerce. 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 financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the 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 financial statements as a whole.

(1) Nature of Operations

 

Organization and Description of Business

 

Minnesota Life Insurance Company (the Company), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Securian Financial Group, Inc. (SFG), both directly and through its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates, provides a diversified array of insurance and financial products and services designed principally to protect and enhance the long-term financial well-being of individuals and families.

 

The Company, which operates in the United States, generally offers the following types of products:

 

Fixed, indexed and variable universal life, term life and whole life insurance products to individuals through independent channel partners.

 

Immediate and deferred annuities, with fixed, indexed, and variable investment options through independent channel partners.

 

Group life insurance and voluntary products to private and public employers.

 

Retirement options to employers and investment firms through independent channel partners as well as direct relationships.

 

Life insurance protection through banks, credit unions, and finance companies.

 

During 2022, the Company entered into reinsurance agreements to reinsure certain closed blocks of individual life and individual annuity products and certain non-affiliated group annuity contracts. Refer to note 14 Reinsurance for additional discussion.

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying statutory financial statements of Minnesota Life Insurance Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce. The Minnesota Department of Commerce recognizes statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the state of Minnesota for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Minnesota Insurance Law. Prescribed statutory accounting practices are those practices that are incorporated directly or by reference in state laws, regulations and general administrative rules applicable to all insurance enterprises domiciled in a particular state. Permitted statutory accounting practices include practices not prescribed by the domiciliary state, but allowed by the domiciliary state regulatory authority. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures manual (NAIC SAP) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the state of Minnesota. The state has adopted the prescribed accounting practices as stated in NAIC SAP, without modification. The Company has one material statutory accounting practice that differs from those of the state of Minnesota or the NAIC accounting practices. See note 13 Capital and Surplus and Dividends for discussion of statutory dividend limitations. These practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

 

The more significant differences, of which the aggregate effects are material are as follows:

 

Acquisition costs, such as commissions and other costs incurred in connection with the successful acquisition of new and renewal business, are charged to current operations as incurred whereas premiums are recognized as earned over the premium paying periods of the policies and contracts. Under GAAP, acquisition costs are capitalized and charged to operations as the revenues or expected gross profits are recognized.

 

Certain assets are designated as "non-admitted" and changes in such amounts are charged directly to unassigned surplus.

 

Policy reserves are based on methods prescribed by the NAIC, which include mortality and interest assumptions without consideration for lapses or withdrawals. Under GAAP, policy reserves are based on current best estimates or locked in best estimate assumptions on the date of issuance with a provision for adverse deviation, which include considerations for lapses and withdrawals.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

The more significant differences, of which the aggregate effects are material are as follows (Continued):

 

The Company is required to establish an asset valuation reserve (AVR) and an interest maintenance reserve (IMR). The AVR provides for a standardized statutory investment valuation reserve for bonds, preferred stocks, short-term investments, mortgage loans, common stocks, real estate and other invested assets. Changes in this reserve are recorded as direct charges or credits to surplus. The IMR is designed to defer net realized capital gains and losses resulting from changes in the level of interest rates in the market and to amortize them over the remaining life of the bond or mortgage loan sold. The IMR represents the unamortized portion of the bond or mortgage loan not yet taken into income. If IMR is negative, it is designated as non-admitted and is directly charged to unassigned surplus unless the Company adopts certain limited-time exception to admit net negative IMR. For securities the Company intends to sell in which a write-down is necessary, the Company reviews whether the realized loss affects the IMR or AVR. There are no such requirements on a GAAP basis.

 

Investments, other than common stocks, preferred stocks and investments in subsidiaries, are carried at values prescribed by the NAIC. GAAP requires investments, other than common stocks, preferred stocks and investments in subsidiaries, to be classified as held-to-maturity securities, which are reported at amortized cost, trading securities, which are reported at fair value through net income, or available-for-sale securities, which are reported at fair value through equity.

 

Investments in common stocks and preferred stocks are carried at values prescribed by the NAIC. GAAP requires common stocks and preferred stocks to be reported at fair value through earnings.

 

Bonds that have been assigned the NAIC Category 6 designation are carried at the lower of fair value or cost. There are no such requirements on a GAAP basis.

 

A valuation allowance is established for mortgage loans when it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Under GAAP, an allowance for credit losses for mortgage loans represents the Company’s best estimate of expected credit losses over the remaining life of the loans.

 

Undistributed income and capital gains and losses for limited partnership alternative investments are reported in capital and surplus as unrealized gains and losses until realized. Under GAAP, specialized accounting treatment for investment companies requires unrealized gains and losses on these alternative investments to be included in earnings.

 

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at the audited net equity values as prescribed by the NAIC. Changes in equity values related to earnings are reflected in surplus, and other equity changes are reflected in surplus as charges or credits to unrealized gains and losses. GAAP requires subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities to be consolidated.

 

Deferred federal income taxes are provided for the tax effects of certain income and expense items recognized for income tax purposes in different years than for financial reporting purposes. The change in the net deferred tax asset or liability is reflected in surplus. Admittance testing may result in a charge to capital and surplus for non-admitted portions of the net deferred tax asset. GAAP requires the change to be reported in operations or other comprehensive income.

 

In determining the need for tax contingency reserves, consideration is given to whether it is more-likely-than-not that specific uncertain tax benefits will be realized. GAAP subsequently subjects the tax benefits to an additional quantitative measurement step.

 

Goodwill is admitted subject to a 10% limitation on surplus and amortized over the useful life of the goodwill, not to exceed 10 years. Under GAAP, goodwill, which is considered to have an indefinite useful life, is tested using either a qualitative or quantitative approach for impairment and a loss is recorded, when appropriate.

 

  Surplus notes are classified as capital and surplus. Under GAAP, surplus notes are classified as liabilities.

 

Rental income on home office properties owned by the Company is recognized by the Company and a similar amount of rental expense is recognized as a charge for the related office space. Under GAAP, there is no recognition of either rental income or rental expense on home office properties owned by the Company.

 

Certain assets and liabilities are recorded net of the effects of related reinsurance, which is not permitted by GAAP.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

The more significant differences, of which the aggregate effects are material are as follows (Continued):

 

Reinsurance agreements that have any insurance risk are accounted for as reinsurance, whereas under GAAP only reinsurance agreements that have significant insurance risk are accounted for as reinsurance otherwise they are accounted for using a deposit method.

 

The statutory financial statements do not include accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as required by GAAP.

 

Nontraditional life products include individual adjustable life, universal life and variable life insurance and group universal and variable life insurance. Revenues from nontraditional life products and deferred annuities consist of premiums received rather than policy and contract fees charged for the cost of insurance, policy administration and surrenders as required under GAAP.

 

The statutory statements of cash flow do not classify cash flow consistent with GAAP and a reconciliation of net income to net cash provided from operating activities is not provided.

 

Statutory policyholder dividend liabilities are required to be calculated including dividends anticipated to be paid in the next twelve months. GAAP requires a dividend accrual representing dividends due and unpaid through the current year-end.

 

The calculation of reserves and transfers in the Separate Account Statement requires the use of a Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM) allowance on annuities and a Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method (CRVM) allowance on certain life products for statutory reporting. There is no such requirement on a GAAP basis.

 

Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value or amortized cost. Changes in derivative instruments recognized at fair value, other than hedges, are recorded as unrealized capital gains and losses on the statutory statements of capital and surplus. Hedges are held using the same accounting methodology as the hedged item. Under GAAP reporting, derivative instruments are held at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded to realized capital gains and losses, policyholder benefits in the case of certain life insurance product hedging or unrealized capital gains and losses depending on the nature of the hedging relationship, if any, that are designated.

 

A deferred premium asset is established to recognize receipt of premiums on a payment mode other than annual. This asset is considered an offset to statutory reserve calculations which use only annual modal premium assumptions. Deferred premiums are calculated from the current statement date to policy anniversary date. On a GAAP basis, deferred premiums are netted against policy reserves and are generally calculated as a constant of gross premiums.

 

Policy and contract fees are recognized through the statements of operations as received. Under GAAP, these amounts are reported as unearned revenue and are recognized in operations over the period in which the services are provided.

 

The Company periodically invests money in its separate accounts, which is reported as a component of separate account assets and unassigned surplus. On a GAAP basis, these investments are reported as investments in equity securities, based on the underlying characteristics of the investment.

 

Separate account assets and liabilities include certain market value adjusted fixed annuity and investment options on variable annuities. Notwithstanding the market value adjustment feature, the investment performance of the separate account assets is not being passed to the contractholder, and therefore, on a GAAP basis the contract is not reported in the separate account. Rather, the components of the spread on a book value basis are recorded in interest income and interest credited and realized gains and losses on investments and market value adjustments on contract surrenders are recognized as incurred. For GAAP, the contract liability is included in policy and contract balances and the assets are recorded within invested assets.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

The more significant differences, of which the aggregate effects are material are as follows (Continued):

 

The Company issues variable annuity contracts through separate accounts where the Company contractually guarantees to the contractholder a return of no less than one of the following upon a qualifying event: (a) total deposits made to the contract adjusted for partial withdrawals, (b) total deposits made to the contract adjusted for partial withdrawals plus a minimum return, (c) the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date adjusted for withdrawals following the contract anniversary, or (d) a minimum payment on a variable immediate annuity. These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death, withdrawal or annuitization. The Company also issues universal life and variable universal life contracts where the Company provides to the contractholder a no-lapse guarantee and fixed indexed annuities with a guaranteed income in excess of account value. Statutory reserving methodologies consistent with other policy reserves and state requirements are established connected to these guarantees. GAAP requires the calculation of an additional liability related to these guarantees, specifically where product features produce an earnings pattern of profits followed by losses. Certain guarantees are considered embedded derivatives for GAAP. A separate reserve or an embedded derivative related to these guarantees is not required in statutory reporting.

 

The Company also issues certain fixed indexed annuity and indexed universal life contracts that contain features which are considered to be embedded derivatives that are not separated between components and are accounted for consistent with the host contract. Under GAAP, the embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for separately as a derivative carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income.

 

GAAP requires that sales inducements be deferred and amortized over the life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize deferred policy acquisition costs. A separate asset related to sales inducements is not allowed under statutory reporting.

 

The significant accounting policies that are reflected in the accompanying statutory financial statements are as follows:

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2023, the NAIC adopted revisions to Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) 34, Investment Income Due and Accrued, to provide new disclosures of due and accrued investment income and cumulative paid-in-kind interest. The disclosure requirements were effective for 2023 reporting and are included in note 5 Investments.

 

Permitted Practice

 

The Company has received a permitted practice from the Minnesota Department of Commerce to use a modified 1959 Accidental Death Benefit table, and the net effect is immaterial for reporting purposes.

 

The Company has been granted a permitted accounting practice, effective January 1, 2023, from the Minnesota Department of Commerce to reflect changes in discretionary liabilities held on certain indexed universal life policies through surplus in Other, net in statutory statements of operations and capital and surplus instead of through net income as would be required under NAIC SAP. This permitted practice resulted in a pre-tax increase (decrease) to net income of $(5,000) and $189,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and had no impact on the Company’s surplus or risk-based capital.

 

Revenues and Expenses

 

Premiums are credited to revenue over the premium paying period of the policies, with the exception of single and flexible premium contracts which are credited to revenue when received from the policyholder. Annuity considerations and investment management, administration and contract guarantee fees are recognized as revenue when received. 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 statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. Benefits and expenses, including acquisition costs related to acquiring new and renewal business, are charged to operations as incurred. Acquisition expenses incurred are reduced for ceding allowances received or receivable.

Valuation of Investments and Net Investment Income

 

Bonds and stocks are valued as prescribed by the NAIC. Bonds not backed by other loans are generally carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts and any other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted over the estimated or contractual lives of the related bonds based on the interest yield method. Prepayment penalties are recorded to net investment income when collected. Bonds that have been assigned the NAIC category 6 designation are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The Securities Valuation Office identified bond exchange-traded funds are reported at fair value.

 

Hybrid securities are investments structured to have characteristics of both stocks and bonds. Hybrid securities totaled $14,355 and $14,856 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which were classified as bonds on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus.

 

Loan-backed securities are stated at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or discounted cash flows. The Company’s loan-backed securities are reviewed quarterly, and as a result, the carrying value of a loan-backed security may be reduced to reflect changes in valuation resulting from discounted cash flow information. Loan-backed securities that have been assigned the NAIC category 6 designation are written down at the lower of fair value or cost. The Company uses a third-party pricing service in assisting the Company’s determination of the fair value of most loan-backed securities. An internally developed matrix pricing model, discounted cash flow or other model is used to price a small number of holdings. The retrospective adjustment method is used to record investment income on all non-impaired securities except for interest-only securities or other non-investment grade securities where the yield had become negative. Investment income is recorded using the prospective method on these securities.

 

For loan-backed securities, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield method based on prepayment assumptions obtained from an outside service provider or upon analyst review of the underlying collateral and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimated prepayments differ from the anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual prepayments to date and anticipated future payments. Any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income. For loan-backed securities that have a recognized OTTI, the adjusted cost basis is prospectively amortized over the remaining life of the security based on the amount and timing of future estimated cash flows. All other investment income is recorded using the interest method without anticipating the impact of prepayments.

 

Security Valuation Office (SVO) identified funds, which consist of exchange traded funds (ETF) that qualify for bond treatment, are carried at fair value.

 

Common stocks are carried at fair value except for investments in stocks of subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company has an interest of 10% or more, which are carried on an equity basis.

 

The Company recognizes interest income as earned and recognizes dividend income on unaffiliated common stocks upon declaration of the dividend. Investment income is reported net of related investment expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, bond net investment loss included ($4,111), ($4,011) and $(266) of prepayment penalties and acceleration fees, respectively, generated as a result of 27, 18 and 55 CUSIPs, respectively, sold, redeemed, tendered or otherwise disposed as a result of a callable feature.

 

Perpetual preferred stocks are reported at the lower of fair value or the currently effective call price for the stock. Redeemable preferred stocks continue to be carried at cost less any OTTI. All preferred stock is classified as other invested assets on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus.

 

Mortgage loans are carried at the outstanding principal balances, net of unamortized premiums and discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted over the terms of the mortgage loans based on the effective interest yield method. Prepayment penalties are recorded to net investment income. The Company invests primarily in commercial mortgages with a range of interest rates from 5.10% to 6.94% during 2024. In 2024, the maximum percentage of any one loan to the value of the collateral at the time of the investment of the loan, exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages, was 62%.

 

The Company continues to record interest on those impaired mortgage loans that it believes to be collectible as due and accrued investment income. Any loans that have income 180 days or more past due continue to accrue income, but report all due and accrued income as a non-admitted asset. Past due interest on loans that are uncollectible is written off and no further interest is accrued. Any cash received for interest on loans deemed uncollectible is recorded as income when collected.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Valuation of Investments and Net Investment Income (Continued)

 

Alternative investments include limited partnership investments in private equity funds and mezzanine debt funds. These investments are included in other invested assets on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus at the amount invested using the equity method of accounting. In-kind distributions are recorded as a return of capital for the cost basis of the stock received. Income distributed from these alternative investments is included in net investment income or net realized capital gains (losses) on the statutory statements of operations based on information provided by the investee. The valuation of alternative investments is recorded based on the partnership financial statements from the previous quarter plus contributions and distributions during the fourth quarter. Any undistributed amounts held by the investee are recorded, based on the Company’s ownership share, as unrealized capital gains or losses on the statutory statements of operations and capital and surplus. The Company evaluates partnership financial statements received subsequent to December 31 up to the financial statement issue date for material fluctuations in order to determine if an adjustment should be recorded as of December 31.

 

Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, adjusted for any OTTI losses taken. Real estate is included in other invested assets on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. Estimated losses are directly recorded to the carrying value of the asset and recorded as realized losses in the statutory statements of operations. Depreciation is computed principally on a straight-line basis.

 

The Company’s investments in surplus notes of unrelated entities are included in other invested assets on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. Surplus note investments with a NAIC designation of NAIC 1 or NAIC 2 are reported at amortized cost. Surplus note investments with a NAIC designation equivalent of NAIC 3 through 6 are reported at the lesser of amortized cost or fair value. An OTTI is considered to have occurred if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the surplus note. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized as a realized loss equal to the difference between the surplus note’s carrying value and the fair value and is reported in earnings.

 

Policy loans are carried at the outstanding loan balance which includes any interest over 90 days past due. Loan balances unsecured by the cash surrender value of the policy and accelerated payment benefits are non-admitted assets which totaled $4,516 and $3,270 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Investments in subsidiary companies are accounted for using the equity method and are carried as investments in affiliated companies or as other invested assets, in the case of limited liability companies, in the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. The Company records changes in its equity in its subsidiaries as credits or charges to capital and surplus. Insurance subsidiaries are recorded using statutory accounting principles. Non-insurance subsidiaries not engaged in prescribed insurance activities are recorded using audited GAAP results. Investments in limited liability subsidiaries included in other invested assets totaled $186,390 and $188,785 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Commercial paper and bonds with original maturity dates of less than twelve months are considered to be short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost. Short-term investments at December 31, 2024 and 2023 totaled $0 and $9,721, respectively.

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which generally approximates fair value. Money market funds are included in cash equivalents and are generally valued at fair value. The Company considers short-term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions and, at times, these balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit.

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company uses a variety of derivatives, including swaps, swaptions, forwards, floors, caps, futures and option contracts, to manage the risks associated with cash flows or changes in estimated fair values related to the Company’s financial instruments. The Company currently enters into derivative transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting or in certain cases, elects not to utilize hedge accounting.

 

Derivative instruments are generally carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net change in unrealized capital gains and losses on the statutory statements of capital and surplus. Interest income generated by derivative instruments is reported in net investment income on the statutory statements of operations.

 

Several life insurance and annuity products in the Company’s liability portfolio contain investment guarantees that create economic exposure to market and interest rate risks. These guarantees take the form of guaranteed withdrawal benefits on variable annuities, lifetime income guarantees on fixed indexed annuities, a guaranteed payout floor on a variable payout annuity, and indexed interest credits on both fixed indexed annuity and fixed indexed universal life products. The Company uses economic hedges including futures contracts, interest rate swaps and exchange traded and over-the-counter (OTC) options in its efforts to minimize the financial risk associated with these product guarantees.

 

Realized and Unrealized Capital Gains and Losses

 

Realized capital gains and losses, less federal income taxes and amounts transferred to the IMR, if any, are recognized in net income (loss). Unrealized capital gains and losses are accounted for as a direct increase or decrease to capital and surplus. Both realized and unrealized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method.

 

The Company regularly reviews each investment in its various asset classes to evaluate the necessity of recording impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of the investments. When the Company determines that an invested asset is other-than-temporarily impaired, the invested asset is written down to a new cost basis and the amount of the impairment is included in net realized gains and losses on the statutory statements of operations. Any subsequent recoveries are not recognized until disposition.

 

Under the Company’s accounting policy for loan-backed and structured securities, if the Company has the intent to sell or the inability or lack of intent to retain a security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis, an OTTI is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the fair value. Otherwise, if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, an OTTI is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the loan-backed or structured security’s original effective interest rate.

 

For other bonds, when the Company has determined an OTTI has occurred, the security is written-down to fair value. If the impairment is deemed to be non-interest related, an OTTI is recorded in earnings. For interest related declines, an OTTI is recorded when the Company has the intent to sell or does not have the ability to hold the bond until the forecasted recovery occurs. Many criteria are considered during this process including but not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the current fair value has been below the amortized cost of the security, specific credit issues such as collateral, financial prospects related to the issuer, the Company’s intent to sell the security and current economic conditions.

 

For common stocks, an OTTI is recorded when the Company does not have the intent and ability to hold the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for anticipated recovery of unrealized losses. When an OTTI has occurred, the entire difference between NAIC fair value and the common stock’s cost is charged to earnings. When assessing for OTTI the Company considers the length of time a stock has been in an unrealized loss position, the magnitude of the unrealized loss, and information on the investee’s current financial condition, liquidity, near-term recovery prospects, and other factors. In addition, common stocks that have an unrealized loss position greater than $100 are reviewed based on the individual characteristics of the stock. Preferred stocks with significant unrealized losses are also reviewed on the same basis for impairment.

Realized and Unrealized Capital Gains and Losses (Continued)

 

The Company evaluates its alternative investments on a fund by fund basis using current and forecasted expectations for future fund performance, the age of the fund, general partner commentary and underlying investments within the fund. If facts and circumstances indicate that the value of the investment will not be recovered, the cost of the investment is written down and an OTTI is recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) on the statutory statements of operations.

 

All other material unrealized losses are reviewed for any unusual event that may trigger an OTTI. Determination of the status of each analyzed investment as OTTI or not is made based on these evaluations with documentation of the rationale for the decision.

 

The Company may, from time to time, sell invested assets subsequent to the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus date that were considered temporarily impaired at the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus date for several reasons. The rationale for the change in the Company’s intent to sell generally focuses on unforeseen changes in the economic facts and circumstances related to the invested asset subsequent to the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus date, significant unforeseen changes in the Company’s liquidity needs, changes in interest rates, or changes in tax laws or the regulatory environment. The Company had no material sales of invested assets, previously considered OTTI or in an unrealized loss position, subsequent to the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus dates for either December 31, 2024 or 2023.

 

The Company recognizes valuation allowances for impairments of mortgage loans on a specific identification basis. Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A nonperforming loan is defined as a loan that is not performing to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Examples of nonperforming loans may include delinquent loans, requests for forbearance and loans in the process of foreclosure. The valuation allowance is equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. Changes in the valuation allowance are recorded in net change in unrealized capital gains and losses on the statutory statements of capital and surplus.

 

Impairment losses are recorded on investments in real estate and other long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present, using undiscounted cash flows if available or independent market appraisals.

 

Separate Accounts

 

Separate account assets represent segregated funds administered by an unaffiliated asset management firm. These segregated funds are invested by both an unaffiliated asset management firm and an affiliate of the Company for the exclusive benefit of the Company’s pension, variable annuity and variable life insurance policyholders and contractholders. Assets consist principally of marketable securities and are reported at fair value of the investments held in the segregated funds. Investment income and gains and losses accrue directly to the policyholders and contractholders. Premiums, benefits and expenses of the separate accounts are reported in the statutory statements of operations. The Company receives administrative and investment advisory fees for services rendered on behalf of these accounts, and such fees are recorded as earned.

 

The Company periodically invests money in its separate accounts. The fair value of such investments, included with separate account assets, amounted to $0 and $2,067 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Included within other liabilities on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus are the allowances for CARVM and CRVM. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the CARVM and CRVM allowances were $(270,569) and $(252,330), respectively.

 

Software Capitalization

 

Computer software costs incurred for internal use are capitalized and amortized over a three or five-year period. Computer software costs include application software, purchased software packages and significant upgrades to software. The Company had unamortized software costs of $86,180 and $97,691 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, all of which is non-admitted, and amortized software expense of $22,992, $22,437 and $11,369 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Non-admitted Assets

 

Certain assets, designated as "non-admitted assets" (principally deferred taxes that do not meet admissibility testing, investments in affiliated companies, furniture, equipment, computer software and certain receivables), amounting to $328,328 and $226,089 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, have been charged to capital and surplus.

 

Reinsurance

 

Insurance liabilities are reported after the effects of ceded reinsurance. Reinsurance recoverables represent amounts due from reinsurers for paid benefits, expense reimbursements and prepaid premiums, and are included in other assets on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. Reinsurance premiums ceded and recoveries on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from the respective income and expense accounts. Modified coinsurance receivables and payables on separate accounts are presented within separate account assets and liabilities on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus, and changes in these amounts are presented in changes in modified coinsurance on separate accounts in revenues and benefits and expenses in the statutory statements of operations and capital and surplus. Reinsurance gains arising from certain reinsurance agreements are deferred to capital and surplus and subsequently amortized into the statements of operations in the proportion to earnings on the underlying business reinsured.

 

Policy Reserves

 

Policy reserves are determined using methods and assumptions consistent with the Standard Valuation Law and presently accepted actuarial standards and guidelines. Policy reserves generally represent the net present value of future benefits less the present value of future net premiums.

 

Life insurance policy reserves are calculated primarily using the CRVM. The Company uses the principles-based reserving approach (PBR) prescribed by the NAIC Valuation Manual (VM-20) for new life insurance policies issued on or after January 1, 2020.

 

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns any portion of the final premium beyond the date of death. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amounts of surrender values in excess of reserves were $2,029,232 and $1,897,450, respectively.

 

For substandard policies, if a flat premium is charged, the reserve is one-half of the extra premium. For reserves determined using a tabular method, the reserve is calculated by an exact method using multiples of standard mortality as determined by the currently assigned mortality category. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $6,560,615 and $9,389,915, respectively, of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the standard valuation.

 

Fixed and fixed indexed annuity policy reserves are calculated using the CARVM. Variable annuity policy reserves are based on methods and assumptions specified in NAIC Valuation Manual (VM-21).

 

Policy reserves on accident and health contracts are determined using tabular and lag factor methods reflecting Company experience. The Company’s liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses are determined using appropriate interest rate tables, company experience and actuarial studies.

 

Other policy liabilities include premium deposit funds, funding agreements and experience rated refund balances for certain group life insurance contracts. Policy reserves on group annuity contracts purchased under a qualified retirement plan are equal to the account value.

 

During 2024, the Company recorded a change in valuation basis related to certain reserves on life insurance products. The change in valuation basis resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to decrease capital and surplus by $68,888 and is reported in change in reserves due to change in valuation basis on the statutory statements of operations and capital and surplus.

Policy Reserves (Continued)

 

During 2023, the Company recorded a change in valuation basis related to certain reserves on annuity products. The change in valuation basis resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to increase capital and surplus by $8,470 and is reported in change in reserves due to change in valuation basis on the statutory statements of operations and capital and surplus. The tax impact of this adjustment is $596; of which $447 is included in net change in deferred taxes and $149 is included in federal income tax expense (benefit) on the statutory statements of operations and capital and surplus.

 

During 2023, the Company retrospectively adopted Actuarial Guideline XLIV (AG 44) related to valuation of certain group waiver reserves for disability claim onsets occurring on or after January 1, 2009.

 

Liability for Accident and Health Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

 

The liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses includes an amount for losses incurred but unreported, based on past experience, as well as an amount for reported but unpaid losses, which is calculated on a case-by-case basis. Such liabilities are necessarily based on assumptions and estimates. While management believes that the amount is adequate, the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount estimated. The methods, including key assumptions, of making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed and any adjustments are reflected in the period such change in estimate is made. The liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance, is included in accident and health policy reserves and policy claims in process of settlement on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus.

 

Participating Business

 

Dividends on participating policies and other discretionary payments are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors based upon actuarial determinations that take into consideration current mortality, interest earnings, expense factors and federal income taxes. Dividends are generally recognized as expenses when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors and up to one year in advance of the payout dates. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total participating business in force was $2,394,604 and $2,072,580, respectively. As a percentage of total life insurance in force, participating business in force represented 0.2% at both December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

For 2024, 2023 and 2022, direct premiums under individual and group life participating policies were $32,221, $33,510 and $34,611, respectively. The Company accounts for its policyholder dividends based upon the contribution method. The Company paid dividends in 2024, 2023 and 2022 in the amount of $8,537, $8,504, and $8,510, respectively, to policyholders and did not allocate any additional income to such policyholders.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

The Company files a consolidated life/non-life federal income tax return with Minnesota Mutual Companies, Inc. (MMC), the Company’s ultimate parent. Entities included in the consolidated return include: Securian Holding Company, Robert Street Property Management, Inc., Securian Financial Group, Inc. (SFG), Securian Casualty Company, Securian Specialty Lines, Securian Ventures, Inc., Securian Financial Services, Inc. (SFS), Securian Asset Management, Inc. (Securian AM), Ochs Inc., Lowertown Capital, LLC, Empyrean Holding Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries and Minnesota Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries.

 

Empyrean Holding Company’s subsidiaries include Empyrean Benefits Solutions, Inc. and Empyrean Insurance Services, Inc.

 

Minnesota Life’s subsidiaries include Securian Life Insurance Company (Securian Life), Allied Solutions LLC (Allied), Securian AAM Holdings, LLC, Marketview Properties, LLC, Marketview Properties II, LLC, Marketview Properties III, LLC, Marketview Properties IV, LLC and Oakleaf Service Corporation.

 

The method of allocation between companies is subject to written agreement, approved by an officer of the Company. Under the agreement, the Company computes federal income taxes on a separate return basis, and benefit is given for operating losses and credits as utilized to reduce consolidated federal income taxes. Intercompany tax balances are settled annually when the tax return is filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Federal Income Taxes (Continued)

 

The Company provides for federal income taxes based on amounts the Company believes it ultimately will owe. Inherent in the provision for federal income taxes are estimates regarding the deductibility of certain items and the realization of certain tax credits. In the event the ultimate deductibility of certain items or the realization of certain tax credits differs from estimates, the Company may be required to significantly change the provision for federal income taxes recorded in the statutory financial statements. Any such change could significantly affect the amounts reported in the statutory statements of operations. Management has used best estimates to establish reserves based on current facts and circumstances regarding tax exposure items where the ultimate deductibility is open to interpretation. Management evaluates the appropriateness of such reserves based on any new developments specific to their fact patterns. Information considered includes results of completed tax examinations, Technical Advice Memorandums and other rulings issued by the IRS or the tax courts.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Gross deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, and a statutory valuation allowance must be established if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. The adjusted gross deferred tax assets are then considered for admitted asset status according to the admissibility tests as set forth by the NAIC. Changes in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, including changes attributable to changes in tax rates, are recognized as a component of unassigned surplus.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory accounting practices requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported assets and liabilities, including reporting or disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events, including but not limited to, changes in mortality, morbidity, interest rates and asset valuations, could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used in the financial statements and such changes in estimates are generally recorded on the statutory statements of operations in the period in which they are made.

 

The most significant estimates include those used in determining policy reserves, policy claims in process of settlement, valuation of and impairment losses on investments, valuation allowances or impairments for mortgage loans on real estate, federal income taxes and pension and other postretirement benefits. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, the recorded amounts reflect management’s best estimates based on facts and circumstances as of the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus date. Management believes the amounts provided are appropriate.

 

(3)Risks

 

The Company’s financial statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control or are subject to change. As such, actual results could differ from the estimates used in the financial statements and the value of the Company’s investments, its financial condition and its liquidity could be adversely affected. The following risks and uncertainties, among others, may have such an effect:

 

Economic environment and capital markets-related risks such as those related to interest rates, equity markets, credit spreads, real estate, and derivatives.
Investment-related risks such as those related to valuation, impairment, and concentration.
Business and operational-related risks such as those related to mortality/longevity, morbidity and claims experience, reinsurers and counterparties, liquidity, ratings, competition, cyber or other information security, fraud, and overall risk management.
Catastrophic and pandemic event-related risks that may impact policyholder behavior and claims experience, volatility in financial markets and economic activity, and operations.
Acquisition, disposition, or other structural change related risks.
Regulatory and legal risks such as those related to changes in fiscal, tax and other legislation, insurance and other regulation, and accounting standards.

 

The Company actively monitors and manages risks and uncertainties through a variety of policies and procedures in an effort to mitigate or minimize the adverse impact of any exposures impacting the financial statements.

(4)Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Reported at Fair Value

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities has been determined using available market information as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses the market approach which utilizes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. To a lesser extent, the Company also uses the income approach which uses discounted cash flows to determine fair value. When applying either approach, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing a financial instrument based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing financial assets and financial liabilities based on the best information available in the circumstances. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

The Company is required to categorize its financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus according to a three-level hierarchy. A level is assigned to each financial asset and financial liability based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

 

Level 2 – Fair value is based on significant inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Fair value is based on at least one or more significant unobservable inputs. These inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date. In periods of market disruption, the ability to observe prices and inputs may be reduced, which could cause an asset or liability to be reclassified to a lower level.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2024:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Common stocks  $399,913   $   $6,564   $406,477 
Preferred stocks   346    13,424        13,770

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Reported at Fair Value (Continued)

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value as of December 31, 2023:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Common stocks  $327,852   $   $11,129   $338,981 
Preferred stocks   7,244    22,585        29,829 
Derivative instruments   90    955,229        955,319

Separate account assets   5,559,443    24,506,034    1,881    30,067,358 
Total financial assets  $5,987,362   $25,483,848   $13,010   $31,484,220 
                     
Derivative instruments (1)  $52   $527,241   $   $527,293 
Total financial liabilities  $52   $527,241   $   $527,293 

 

(1) Included in other liabilities on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus.

 

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized as follows:

 

Common and preferred stocks

 

The Company’s common and preferred stocks consist primarily of investments in publicly traded companies. The fair values of common stocks are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and are classified within Level 1. The fair values of stocks based on prices that have significant inputs that are observable in active markets for identical or similar assets are reflected in Level 2. The Company carried a small amount of non-exchange traded common stock classified within Level 3.

 

Derivative instruments

 

Derivative instrument fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using current market assumptions and modeling techniques, which are then compared with quotes from counterparties.

 

The majority of the Company’s derivative positions are traded in the Over-the-Counter (OTC) derivative market and are classified as Level 2. The fair values of most OTC derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow or third party pricing models. The significant inputs to the pricing models are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Significant inputs that are observable generally include: interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate curves, credit curves and volatility. However, certain OTC derivatives may rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Significant inputs that are unobservable generally include: independent broker quotes and inputs that are outside the observable portion of the interest rate curve, credit curve, volatility or other relevant market measure. These unobservable inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation. In general, OTC derivatives are compared to an outside broker quote when available and are reviewed in detail through the Company’s valuation oversight group. OTC derivatives valued using significant unobservable inputs would be classified as Level 3.

 

The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in determining the estimated fair value for all OTC derivatives after taking into account the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements.

 

Cash equivalents

 

Money market funds are reported as cash equivalents. All money market funds are generally valued using unadjusted prices in active markets and are reflected in Level 1.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Reported at Fair Value (Continued)

 

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized as follows (Continued):

 

Separate account assets

 

Separate account assets are reported as a summarized total and are carried at estimated fair value based on the underlying assets in which the separate accounts are invested. Valuations for common stock and short-term investments are determined consistent with similar instruments as previously described. When available, fair values of bonds are based on quoted market prices of identical assets in active markets and are reflected in Level 1. When quoted prices are not available, the Company’s process is to obtain prices from third party pricing services, when available, and generally classify the security as Level 2. Valuations for certain mutual funds and pooled separate accounts are classified as Level 2 as the values are based upon quoted prices or reported net asset values provided by the fund managers with little readily determinable public pricing information. Other valuations using internally developed pricing models or broker quotes are generally classified as Level 3.

 

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of Level 3 financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value during the year ended December 31, 2024:

Separate account assets  $3,455   $(8,677)  $   $(5,222)
Total financial assets  $3,455   $(8,677)  $   $(5,222)

 

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company carried a small amount of Level 3 assets and liabilities which are comprised of separate account assets and common stocks. For separate account assets, the Company uses a discounted cash flow methodology that looks at yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries inputs to price the securities. For any increase (decrease) in the yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries, the fair value of the asset will decrease (increase). The common stock is comprised of non-exchange trade equity securities which the fair value is based on at least one or more significant unobservable inputs.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Reported at Other Than Fair Value

 

The Company uses various methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus.

 

Refer to note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and note 6 Derivative Instruments for additional fair value disclosures concerning bonds, cash equivalents, other invested assets and derivatives.

 

When available, fair values of bonds and surplus notes of unrelated entities are based on quoted market prices of identical assets in active markets and are reflected in Level 1.

 

When quoted prices are not available, the Company’s process is to obtain prices from third party pricing services, when available. The Company generally receives prices from pricing services and maintains a vendor hierarchy by asset type based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. The Company’s primary pricing service has policies and processes to ensure that it is using objectively verifiable observable market data. The pricing service regularly reviews the valuation inputs for instruments covered and publishes and updates a summary of inputs used in its valuations by major type. The market inputs utilized in the pricing valuation depend on asset class and market conditions but typically include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and industry and economic events. If the pricing service determines it does not have sufficient objectively verifiable information about an instrument’s valuation, it discontinues providing a valuation. In this instance, the Company would be required to produce its own internally modeled estimate of fair value.

 

Prices are reviewed by affiliated asset managers and management to validate reasonability. Instruments with validated prices from pricing services are generally reflected in Level 2. If the pricing information received from third party pricing services is not reflective of market activity or other inputs observable in the market, the Company may challenge the price through a formal process with the pricing service. If the pricing service updates the price to be more consistent in comparison to the presented market observations, the instrument remains within Level 2.

 

For instruments where quoted market prices are not available or the Company concludes the pricing information received from third party pricing services is not reflective of market activity - generally private placement bonds or bonds that do not trade regularly - a matrix pricing, discounted cash flow or other model is used. The pricing models are developed by obtaining spreads versus the U.S. Treasury yield for corporate bonds with varying weighted average lives and ratings. The weighted average life and rating of a particular instrument to be priced are important inputs into the model and are used to determine a corresponding spread that is added to the U.S. Treasury yield to create an estimated market yield for that instrument. The estimated market yield, liquidity premium, any adjustments for known credit risk, and other relevant factors are then used to estimate the fair value. Certain other valuations are based on independent non-binding broker quotes. Instruments valued using pricing models or broker quotes are reflected in Level 3.

 

Fair values of mortgage loans are based upon matrix pricing and discounted cash flows. Fair value of policy loans are estimated by discounting expected cash flows. The expected cash flows reflect an estimate for the timing of repayment of the loans and weighted average loan interest rates.

 

The fair value of deferred annuities and other fund deposits, which have guaranteed interest rates and surrender charges, were calculated using CARVM calculation procedures and current market interest rates. The Company believes this is a reasonable approximation of fair value. Contracts without guaranteed interest rates and surrender charges have fair values equal to their accumulation values plus applicable market value adjustments.

 

The fair value of supplementary contracts without life contingencies and annuity certain contracts are calculated using discounted cash flows, based on interest rates currently offered for similar products with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.

 

The carrying amount of short-term borrowed money approximates the fair value. The fair value of long-term borrowed money is estimated based on primarily the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt and financial instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Reported at Other Than Fair Value (Continued)

 

Certain separate account liabilities represent balances due to policyholders under contracts that are classified as investment contracts. Since these separate account liabilities are fully funded by the cash flows from the separate account assets which are recognized at estimated fair value, the value of those assets approximates the carrying and fair value of the related separate account liabilities. The valuation techniques and inputs for separate account liabilities are similar to those described for separate account assets.

 

(5)Investments

 

Bonds and Stocks

 

The Company’s bond portfolio consists primarily of public and private corporate bonds, mortgage and other asset-backed bonds and U.S. government and agency obligations.

 

The Company invests in private placement bonds to enhance the overall value of its portfolio, increase diversification and obtain higher yields than are possible with comparable publicly traded bonds. Generally, private placement bonds provide broader access to management information, strengthened negotiated protective covenants, call protection features and, frequently, improved seniority of collateral protection. Private placement bonds generally are only tradable subject to restrictions by federal and state securities laws and are, therefore, less liquid than publicly traded bonds.

 

The Company holds CMBS that may be originated by single or multiple issuers, which are collateralized by mortgage loans secured by income producing commercial properties such as office buildings, multi-family dwellings, industrial, retail, hotels and other property types.

 

The Company’s RMBS portfolio consists of pass-through securities, which are pools of mortgage loans collateralized by single-family residences and primarily issued by government sponsored entities (e.g., GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC), and structured pass-through securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, that may have specific prepayment and maturity profiles and may be issued by either government sponsored entities or “private label” issuers. The Company’s RMBS portfolio primarily contains loans made to borrowers with strong credit histories. The Company’s portfolio consisted of $1,199,214 and $1,294,420 agency backed RMBS and $109,347 and $33,577 non-agency backed RMBS as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s RMBS portfolio also includes Alt-A mortgage loans to customers who have good credit ratings but have limited documentation for their source of income or some other standards used to underwrite the mortgage loan, and subprime residential loans to customers with weak credit profiles, including mortgages originated using relaxed mortgage-underwriting standards.

 

The Company’s asset-backed securities portfolio consists of securities collateralized by the cash flows of receivables relating to credit cards, automobiles, manufactured housing and other asset class loans.

For bonds where the carrying value exceeds fair value, the Company expects to collect all principal and interest payments, excluding previously recorded OTTI. In determining whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company evaluates its intent and need to sell a security prior to its anticipated recovery in fair value. The Company performs ongoing analysis of liquidity needs, which includes cash flow testing. Cash flow testing includes duration matching of the investment portfolio and policyholder liabilities. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not intend to sell and does not believe that it will be required to sell investments with an unrealized loss prior to recovery.

 

The following paragraphs summarize the Company’s evaluation of investment categories where carrying value exceeds fair value as of December 31, 2024.

 

U.S. government securities are temporarily impaired due to current interest rates and not credit-related reasons. The Company expects to collect all principal and interest on these securities.

 

Agencies not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government are temporarily impaired due to interest rates and not credit-related reasons. Although not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, these securities generally trade as if they are.

 

Unrealized losses related to corporate securities are due to interest rates that are higher, and current market spreads that are wider than at the securities’ respective purchase dates. The Company performed an analysis of the financial performance of the underlying issuers and determined that the entire amortized cost for each temporarily-impaired security is expected to be recovered.

 

Asset-backed securities, CMBS and RMBS are impacted by both interest rates and the value of the underlying collateral. The Company utilizes discounted cash flow models using outside assumptions to determine if an OTTI is warranted.

 

The Company’s CMBS portfolio had initial ratings of AA or higher and are diversified by property type and geographic location. The Company’s CMBS portfolio is primarily super senior and senior securities as opposed to mezzanine or below.

Mortgage Loans (Continued)

 

The Company participates in programs to sell a percentage of ownership of certain newly originated mortgage loans to third parties in order to diversify and mitigate risk. These transactions are accounted for as sales and the portion of each asset sold is legally isolated from the Company with no exposure of loss. Securian AM services the assets for the third party. Certain portions of mortgage loans totaling $59,155 and $107,917 were sold during 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

The following table shows the composition of the Company’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio, net of valuation allowances, by class as of December 31:

 

   2024   2023 
Industrial  $1,726,765   $1,674,323 
Office buildings   841,478    844,131 
Retail facilities   1,398,927    1,354,609 
Apartment   1,553,323    1,450,291 
Other   256,601    234,897 
Total  $5,777,094   $5,558,251 

 

If information is obtained on commercial mortgage loans that indicates a potential problem (likelihood of the borrower not being able to comply with the present loan repayment terms), the loan is placed on an internal surveillance list, which is routinely monitored by the Company. Among the criteria that would indicate a potential problem are: borrower bankruptcies, major tenant bankruptcies, loan relief/restructuring requests, delinquent tax payments, late payments, and vacancy rates.

 

A valuation allowance is established when it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan.

 

The following table provides a summary of the valuation allowance for the mortgage loan portfolio for the years ended December 31:

 

   2024   2023   2022 
Balance at beginning of year  $3,714   $   $ 
Change in allowance   (3,714)   3,714     
Balance at end of year  $   $3,714   $ 

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no delinquent mortgage loans.

 

The Company assesses the credit quality of its mortgage loan portfolio by reviewing the performance of its portfolio which includes evaluating its performing and nonperforming mortgage loans. Nonperforming mortgage loans include loans that are not performing to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Nonperforming mortgage loans do not include restructured loans that are current with payments and thus are considered performing.

 

There was one restructured loan with a total carrying value of $8,593 in the office buildings class at December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized total interest income of $373. There were no restructured loans that subsequently defaulted during 2024. The Company did not have any outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers with restructured loans as of December 31, 2024.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any material trouble debt restructurings.

(6)Derivative Instruments

 

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or other financial indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the OTC market. The Company currently enters into derivative transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting, or in certain cases, elects not to utilize hedge accounting. The Company does not enter into speculative positions. Although certain transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting or the Company chooses not to utilize hedge accounting, they provide the Company with an assumed economic hedge, which is used as part of its strategy for certain identifiable and anticipated transactions. The Company uses a variety of derivatives including swaps, swaptions, futures, caps, floors, forwards and option contracts to manage the risk associated with changes in estimated fair values related to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, to generate income and manage other risks due to the variable nature of the Company’s cash flows.

 

Freestanding derivatives are carried on the Company’s statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus within derivative instruments or as liabilities within other liabilities at estimated fair value as determined through the use of quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives and interest rate forwards or through the use of pricing models for OTC derivatives. Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, default risk (including the counterparties to the contract), volatility, liquidity and changes in estimates and assumptions used in the pricing models.

The Company is exposed to various risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and equity market risk. The Company uses a variety of strategies to attempt to manage these risks. The following table presents the notional amount, estimated fair value, and primary underlying risk exposure of the Company’s derivative financial instruments held:

 

Primary     December 31, 2024   December 31, 2023

The majority of the freestanding derivatives utilized by the Company are for specific economic hedging programs related to various annuity and life insurance product liabilities that have market risk. Management considers the sales growth of products and the volatility in the markets in assessing the trading activity for these programs.

 

Interest rate futures are used by the Company to manage duration in certain portfolios within the general account of the Company. In exchange traded interest rate futures transactions, the Company agrees to purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the value of which is determined by the different classes of interest rate securities, and to post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily fair market values of those contracts. The Company enters into exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission merchants that are members of the exchange. Exchange-traded interest rate futures are used primarily to economically hedge mismatches between the duration of the assets in a portfolio and the duration of liabilities supported by those assets, to economically hedge against changes in value of securities the Company owns or anticipates acquiring, and to economically hedge against changes in interest rates on anticipated liability issuances. The value of interest rate futures is substantially impacted by changes in interest rates and they can be used to modify or economically hedge existing interest rate risk.

 

Interest rate forwards are used by the Company to economically hedge interest rate risks primarily associated with secondary guarantees on variable annuities. An interest rate forward is an agreement between two parties to exchange a future settlement based upon a predetermined notional amount and forward interest rate.

 

Foreign currency swaps are used by the Company to offset foreign currency exposure on interest and principal payments of bonds denominated in a foreign currency. In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specific intervals, the difference between one currency and another at a fixed exchange rate, generally set at inception, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party.

 

Foreign currency forwards are used by the Company to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. In a foreign currency forward transaction, the Company agrees with another party to deliver a specified amount of an identified currency at a specified future date. The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is made in a different currency in the specified future date.

Equity futures include exchange-traded equity futures as well as VIX futures. VIX futures are used by the Company to reduce the variance of its portfolio of equity assets. The VIX is the index of the implied volatility of the index options and represents the expected stock market volatility over the next 30 day period. In exchange-traded equity futures transactions, the Company agrees to purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the value of which is determined by the different classes of equity securities, and to post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily fair market values of those contracts. The Company enters into exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission merchants that are members of the exchange. Exchange-traded equity futures are used primarily to economically hedge liabilities embedded in certain variable annuity products and certain equity indexed life products offered by the Company.

 

Equity options are used by the Company to economically hedge certain risks associated with fixed indexed annuity and indexed universal life products that allow the holder to elect an interest rate return or a market component, where interest credited to the contracts is linked to the performance of an index. Certain contractholders may elect to rebalance index options at renewal dates. As of each renewal date, the Company has the opportunity to re-price the indexed component by establishing participation rates, caps, spreads and specified rates, subject to contractual guarantees. The Company purchases equity options that are intended to be highly correlated to the portfolio allocation decisions of the contract holders with respect to returns for the current reset period.

 

Equity options are also used by the Company to economically hedge minimum guarantees embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the Company. To economically hedge against adverse changes in equity indices, the Company enters into contracts to sell the equity index within a limited time at a contracted price. The contracts will be net settled in cash based on differentials in the indices at the time of exercise and the strike price. In certain instances, the Company may enter into a combination of transactions to economically hedge adverse changes in equity indices within a pre-determined range through the purchase and sale of options.

The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. Generally, the current credit exposure of the Company’s derivative contracts is limited to the positive estimated fair value of derivative contracts at the reporting date after taking into consideration the existence of netting agreements and any collateral received pursuant to credit support annexes.

 

The Company manages its credit risk related to OTC derivatives by entering into transactions with highly rated counterparties, maintaining collateral arrangements and through the use of master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by one counterparty to another at each due date and upon termination. Because exchange traded futures are purchased through regulated exchanges, and positions are settled on a daily basis, the Company has minimal exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such derivative instruments.

 

The Company enters into various collateral arrangements, which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its derivative instruments. The Company’s collateral arrangements for its OTC derivatives generally require the counterparty in a net liability position, after considering the effect of netting arrangements, to pledge collateral when the fair value of that counterparty’s derivatives reaches a predetermined threshold. The Company received collateral from OTC counterparties in the amount of $476,689 and $457,323 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Securities collateral received by the Company is held in separate custodial accounts and is not recorded on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. Credit agreements with counterparties permit the Company to sell or re-pledge this collateral; at December 31, 2024 and 2023, none of the collateral had been sold or re-pledged. The Company delivered collateral to OTC counterparties in the form of fixed maturity securities with a carrying value of $10,440 and cash collateral of $4,182 at December 31, 2024. The Company delivered collateral to OTC counterparties in the form of fixed maturity securities with a carrying value of $14,252 and cash collateral of $31 at December 31, 2023. The Company delivered collateral for futures contracts in the form of fixed maturity securities with the carrying value of $64,855 and $64,876 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Securities collateral pledged by the Company is reported in bonds on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. Cash collateral pledged is reported as a receivable in other invested assets on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus.

Eligibility was determined by age at retirement and years of service. Health care premiums were shared with retirees, and other cost-sharing features included deductibles and co-payments. Due to curtailment and subsequent settlement events during 2023 related to SFG’s sale of its retail wealth business, including certain agents, the benefit obligations for other benefit plans were reduced by $3,506.

Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (Continued)

 

The Company updated its assumptions as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 with respect to its pension and postretirement benefit obligations after a review of plan experience and economic conditions. The impacts related to assumption changes are a component of the net actuarial gain (loss).

 

Estimated future benefit payments for pension benefits:

 

   Pension
benefits
 
2025  $2,333 
2026   2,300 
2027   2,315 
2028   2,318 
2029   2,239 
2030-2034   10,062 

 

The assumptions presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions

 

Historical rates of return for individual asset classes and future estimated returns are used to develop expected rates of return. These rates of return are applied to the plan’s investment policy to determine a range of expected returns. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is selected from this range.

 

During 2024 administration of the plan was transitioned to an outside third party. As part of the transition, the annuity contract that previously supported the plan was surrendered from the plan. The Company’s non-contributory defined benefit plan’s assets were allocated 100% to the insurance company general account at December 31, 2023. The insurance company general account represents assets held with the general account of the Company. These assets principally consist of bonds, commercial mortgage loans and common stocks.

 

In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, the Company groups pension and other postretirement plans financial assets and financial liabilities into a three-level hierarchy for valuation techniques used to measure their fair value based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. Refer to note 4 Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further discussion on these levels.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s pension benefit plans’ financial assets measured at fair value:

 

December 31, 2023  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Insurance company general account  $   $   $54,555   $54,555 

 

Insurance company general account

 

Deposits in the insurance company general account are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which represents fair value. These assets principally consist of fixed maturity securities, commercial mortgage loans and equity securities are classified as Level 3.

Profit Sharing Plans

 

The Company also had a profit sharing plan covering substantially all former agents. The plan was terminated in 2024. The Company’s contribution is made as a certain percentage based on voluntary contribution rate and applied to each eligible agent’s annual contribution. The Company recognized contributions to the plan during 2023 and 2022 of $960 and $1,391, respectively.

 

(13) Capital and Surplus and Dividends

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends to SFG consisting of common stock in the amount of $5,000. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company declared and paid dividends to SFG consisting of common stock in the amount of $4,993 and cash of $100,000.

 

Dividend payments by Minnesota Life Insurance Company to its parent cannot exceed the greater of 10% of statutory capital and surplus or the statutory net gain from operations as of the preceding year-end, as well as the timing and amount of dividends paid in the preceding 12 months, without prior approval from the Minnesota Department of Commerce. Based on these limitations and 2024 statutory results, the maximum amount available for the payment of dividends during 2025 by Minnesota Life Insurance Company without prior regulatory approval is $330,823.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was a capital contribution of cash in the amount of $30,000 received from SFG. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there was a capital contribution of cash in the amount of $250,000 received from SFG. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there was no capital contribution from SFG to the Company.

 

Other than noted above, there are no restrictions placed on the Company’s unassigned surplus, including for whom the surplus is being held.

 

The Company is required to meet certain minimum risk-based capital (RBC) requirements, which are imposed by the respective state of domicile. The formulas within the RBC calculation were developed by the NAIC. The RBC requirements were designed to monitor capital adequacy and to raise the level of protection for policyholders. Companies that have an RBC ratio below certain trigger points are required to take specified corrective action. The Company exceeded the minimum RBC requirements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

(14) Reinsurance

 

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding reinsurance to other insurance companies. To the extent that a reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreement, the Company remains liable. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, policy reserves are reflected net of reinsurance ceded of $4,570,924 and $4,846,835, respectively.

 

Reinsurance is accounted for over the lives of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies.

 

The effect of reinsurance on premiums and annuity considerations for the years ended December 31 was as follows:

 

   2024   2023   2022 
Direct premiums and annuity considerations  $7,624,477   $8,050,495   $8,758,869 
Reinsurance assumed   1,077,158    909,165    825,119 
Reinsurance ceded   (3,861,001)   (4,623,908)   (5,559,439)
Total premiums and annuity considerations  $4,840,634   $4,335,752   $4,024,549 

 

The Company has a reinsurance agreement with Securian Life and had a reinsurance agreement with 1880 Re as discussed in detail in note 9 Related Party Transactions which are included in the reinsurance assumed and ceded information above, respectively.

(14) Reinsurance (Continued)

 

The Company had an Aggregate Stop Loss reinsurance program, in conjunction with Securian Life with a 125% Loss Ratio attachment point and $110 million of available coverage capacity, through January 1, 2024. No reinsurance credit has been recorded for this program for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

 

Reinsurance recoveries on ceded reinsurance contracts were $1,476,614, $1,694,080 and $1,724,911 during 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

During 2022, the Company closed transactions to reinsure several closed blocks of individual life and individual annuity products and certain non-affiliated group annuity contracts (collectively “the Transactions”). The Transactions included coinsurance and modified coinsurance structures with certain of the counterparties’ reinsurance obligations secured via a trust established for the benefit of the Company. Closing of the Transactions resulted in an initial reinsurance ceded premium of $3,635,130, ceding commission of $498,500 recorded in other income and net realized losses on transferred assets of $78,533 before taxes and transfers to IMR recorded on the statements of operations and capital and surplus, and $3,072,525 of non-cash investing activities excluded from the statutory statements of cash flows related to transferred investments. The initial reinsurance gain of $422,108 from the Transactions was deferred to surplus via general insurance expenses and taxes and presented in other, net in the statements of operations and capital and surplus. At December 31, 2023 $21,373,602 of separate account assets and liabilities associated with the Transactions were reinsured under modified coinsurance.

 

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is involved in various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such litigation will likely not have a material adverse effect on operations or the financial position of the Company.

 

The Company has long-term commitments to fund alternative investments and real estate investments totaling $488,564 as of December 31, 2024. The Company estimates that $195,000 of these commitments will be invested in 2025, with the remaining $293,564 invested over the next four years.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had committed to originate mortgage loans totaling $249,895 but had not completed the originations.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had committed to purchase bonds totaling $86,832 but had not completed the purchase transactions.

 

The Company has 100% coinsurance agreements for its individual disability line, certain closed blocks of individual life and individual annuity products and certain non-affiliated group annuity contracts. Under the terms of these agreements, assets supporting the reserves transferred to the reinsurers are held under trust agreements for the benefit of the Company in the event that the reinsurers are unable to perform their obligations. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the assets held in trust were $3,300,526 and $3,687,287, respectively. These assets are not reflected in the accompanying statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus.

 

In connection with the dissolution of MIMLIC Life Insurance Company, the Company has agreed to guarantee all obligations and liabilities of MIMLIC Life Insurance Company that arise in the normal course of business. Management does not consider an accrual necessary relating to this guarantee.

(17) Borrowed Money

 

The Company has entered into a membership agreement with the FHLB, providing an efficient way to set up a borrowing facility with access to low cost funding. The total borrowing capacity is dependent on the amount and type of Company assets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings recorded in other liabilities on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. Interest rates are determined at the reset date and ranged from 5.50% to 5.52% during 2024. The Company paid $477, $8,091 and $2,345 in interest in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and no accrued interest at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are recorded in other liabilities and accrued commissions and expenses, respectively, on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. During 2024 and 2023, the maximum amount borrowed from the FHLB was $750,000 and $170,000, respectively.
