Third Quarter 2021 Results

Earnings Per Diluted Share		Return on Equity, ex AOCI (1)
	Q3 2021		Q3 2021
GAAP	$8.65	GAAP	41.7%
Adjusted Operating	$5.86	Adjusted Operating	47.8%
Adjusted Operating Ex. Unlocking(2)	$5.91	Adjusted Operating Ex. Unlocking(2)	47.9%

•Third quarter adjusted operating earnings per diluted share excluding unlocking was $5.91, up 38 percent from last year due to strong organic growth and market appreciation.	Perspective from Jim Cracchiolo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
	“Ameriprise achieved another record quarter for client assets, revenue and earnings. We are executing our strategy well, driving organic growth and generating substantial shareholder value across market cycles. “Consistent with our plans, our growth businesses of wealth and asset management delivered 80 percent of our adjusted operating earnings for the quarter. At the same time, our retirement and protection business is differentiated and generates significant free cash flow and earnings. “2021 is proving to be a very strong year for Ameriprise. We are focused on maintaining our business momentum and strong performance through the remainder of the year into 2022.”
•Third quarter GAAP net income per diluted share was $8.65, compared to a loss of $1.14 in the prior year period, driven by the fixed annuity reinsurance transaction that closed in the quarter and market impacts.
•The company continues to generate strong organic growth, with approximately $14 billion of net inflows from Advice & Wealth Management and Asset Management, up substantially from a year ago.
•Adjusted operating net revenue was $3.5 billion, an 18 percent increase from strong organic growth in Wealth and Asset Management and market appreciation.
•Ameriprise generated strong profitability with pretax adjusted operating earnings excluding unlocking up 28 percent to $858 million, driven by 44 percent growth in Wealth and Asset Management. These businesses represented 80 percent of Ameriprise operating earnings in the quarter.
•Assets under management and administration was $1.2 trillion, up 21 percent from strong client flows in Wealth and Asset Management, as well as market appreciation.
•The company generated considerable free cash and returned $666 million of capital to shareholders in the quarter, which was 95 percent of adjusted operating earnings.
•Excess capital was strong at $2.7 billion with a strong adjusted operating return on equity excluding unlocking of 47.9 percent.

(1) Return on equity excluding AOCI is calculated on a trailing 12-month basis.

(2) Unlocking impacts reflect the company’s annual review of insurance and annuity valuation assumptions and model changes, and the Long Term Care (LTC) gross premium valuation.

Advice & Wealth Management pretax adjusted operating earnings increased 43 percent to $459 million driven by robust client net flows, higher transactional activity, market appreciation and disciplined expense management. Pretax adjusted operating margin was 22.4 percent, up 320 basis points, and continues to demonstrate our strategy to deliver profitable growth. On a sequential basis, pretax operating earnings increased 9 percent and pretax adjusted operating margin expanded 100 basis points.

Adjusted operating net revenues grew 23 percent to $2.0 billion, reflecting strong client net flows and market appreciation.

Total expenses were $1.6 billion, reflecting higher distribution expense associated with robust organic growth. General and administrative expense was up 1 percent from the prior year, as higher activity-based expense and performance-based compensation were partially offset by expense discipline.

Total client assets grew 22 percent to $811 billion. The substantial organic growth was driven primarily by our advisor base with deeper client relationships from existing clients, as well as increased new client acquisition. Total client flows were a robust $10.0 billion in the quarter, representing a 65 percent increase in investment advisory flows and a 16 percent increase in transactional activity. Wrap net flows were $9.4 billion, representing the fourth consecutive quarter at or above $9.0 billion. Cash balances remain elevated at $40.1 billion with an opportunity for clients to put cash back to work in the future.

Adjusted operating net revenue per advisor on a trailing 12-month basis was $766,000. Excluding the decline in short-term interest rates, adjusted net revenue per advisor increased 18 percent. The advisor count increased 2 percent to 10,073, with excellent advisor retention and the addition of 104 experienced advisors in the quarter.

Asset Management pretax adjusted operating earnings increased 44 percent to $285 million reflecting the cumulative benefit of net inflows, higher performance fees and market appreciation. Net pretax adjusted operating margin was 48.9 percent. On a sequential basis, pretax operating earnings increased 13 percent and pretax adjusted operating margin expanded 350 basis points.

Adjusted operating revenues increased 24 percent to $915 million from the cumulative benefit of inflows, as well as higher performance fees and equity markets. The fee rate remained strong at 53 basis points. On a sequential basis, revenues increased 4 percent.

Adjusted operating expenses increased 16 percent. General and administrative expense grew 14 percent driven primarily from strong business performance that drove higher compensation expense and other volume-related costs, as well as foreign exchange translation.

Total assets under management increased 17 percent to $583 billion reflecting equity market appreciation and net inflows. Long term investment performance remained very strong across equity, fixed income and asset-allocation strategies.

In the quarter, net inflows were $3.9 billion, an improvement of $5.5 billion from a year ago. Net inflows were $5.3 billion, excluding legacy insurance partners outflows, reflecting a continuation of positive flow trends across multiple distribution channels and strategies.

•Retail net inflows were $1.8 billion. Net inflows in North America were $2.2 billion with notable inflows in the broker-dealer channel that were partially offset by outflows in EMEA.

•Global institutional net inflows were $3.5 billion, with gross sales across multiple strategies.

Retirement & Protection Solutions Segment Adjusted Operating Results

Pretax adjusted operating earnings excluding unlocking	$	192	$	206	(7)%
NM Not Meaningful - variance equal to or greater than 100%

Retirement & Protection Solutions pretax adjusted operating earnings excluding unlocking was $192 million versus $206 million last year, with continued strong free cash flow generation and high return on capital. Unlocking was an unfavorable $5 million, reflecting strong performance of the blocks that was consistent with expectations.

During the quarter, we continued to focus sales on non-guarantee retirement solutions and accumulation products, including variable annuities without living benefit riders, structured annuities and variable universal life. Retirement sales increased 28 percent to $1.4 billion in the quarter, with 72 percent in products without living benefit riders compared to 56 percent in the prior year quarter. Sales of higher-margin accumulation VUL products increased 167 percent and sales of indexed UL products declined 63 percent as expected given pricing changes made to reflect low interest rates.

We maintain a differentiated book of business with strong returns and free cash flow generation, with a very limited risk profile as evidenced by variable annuity net amount at risk as a percent of account value of 0.4 percent for living benefits and 0.1 percent for death benefits, which we believe is well below the industry.

Corporate & Other pretax adjusted operating loss was in line within expectations at $73 million.

Closed Blocks of long term care and fixed annuities had a pretax adjusted operating loss of $5 million excluding unlocking. Our closed long term care block continued to perform in line with our expectations, with pretax adjusted operating earnings of $2 million. Results included a favorable $8 million from an adjustment to our long term care claim reserves.

Fixed annuities pretax adjusted operating loss excluding unlocking was $7 million, reflecting the amortization of the reinsurance ceding commission. In July, the company closed its fixed annuity reinsurance transaction for RiverSource Life Insurance Company with Global Atlantic’s subsidiary, Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company.

Taxes

The third quarter adjusted operating effective tax rate was 17.8 percent. On a year-to-date basis, the adjusted operating effective tax rate was 17.0 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company believes the presentation of adjusted operating earnings and other non-GAAP financial measures, and the corresponding ratios, best represents the underlying performance of our core operations and facilitates a more meaningful trend analysis without the distortion of various adjustment items. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our financial performance on a basis comparable to that used by some securities analysts and investors and to provide a valuable perspective for investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are taken into consideration, to varying degrees, for purposes of business planning and analysis and for certain compensation-related matters. Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement investors’ understanding of our performance and should not be considered alternatives for financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are discussed in more detail below and may not be comparable to other companies’ similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measure reconciliations can be found on the subsequent pages.
