ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Statutory Financial Statements
December 31, 2019 and 2018
(With Report of Independent Auditors Thereon)














    
Report of Independent Auditors


To the Board of Directors of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America

We have audited the accompanying statutory financial statements of Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, which comprise the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statutory statements of operations, capital and surplus, and of cash flow for the years then ended.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the 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.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

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 on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
  
The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 2 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


(1)    Organization and Nature of Operations
Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (the Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz of America, Inc. (AZOA or parent company), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Europe, B.V. Allianz Europe, B.V. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE. Allianz SE is a European company registered in Munich, Germany, and is the Company’s ultimate parent. The Company has a wholly-owned life insurance company subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York (AZNY). The Company also wholly owns two captive reinsurers, Allianz Life Insurance Company of Missouri (AZMO) and Allianz Annuity Company of Missouri (AAMO). In 2015, the Company recaptured all risks ceded to AAMO. See Note 22 for information regarding the legal dissolution of AAMO.
The Company is a life insurance company licensed to sell annuity, group and individual life, and group and individual accident and health policies in the United States, Canada, and several U.S. territories. Based on statutory net premium written, the Company's business is predominately annuity. The annuity business consists of fixed-indexed, variable-indexed, variable, and fixed annuities. The life business consists of both individual and group life. Life business includes products with guaranteed premiums and benefits and consists principally of fixed-indexed universal life policies and closed blocks of universal life policies, term insurance policies, and limited payment contracts. Accident and health business is primarily comprised of closed blocks of long-term care (LTC) insurance. The Company’s primary distribution channels are through independent agents, broker-dealers, banks, and third-party marketing organizations.
After evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management is not aware of any conditions or events which raise substantial doubts concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of the date of filing these Statutory Financial Statements.
(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)    Basis of Presentation
The Statutory Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce (the Department). The Department 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 its solvency under Minnesota insurance law. The state of Minnesota has adopted the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual as its prescribed basis of statutory accounting principles (SAP), without significant modification. The Company has no material statutory accounting practices that differ from those of the Department or NAIC SAP. These practices differ in some respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The effects of these differences, while not quantified, are presumed to be material to the Statutory Financial Statements. The more significant of these differences are as follows:


(1)
Acquisition costs, such as commissions and other costs incurred in connection with acquiring new and renewal business, are charged to current operations as incurred. Under U.S. GAAP, acquisition costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of insurance contracts are capitalized and charged to operations as the corresponding revenues or future profits are recognized.


(2)
Aggregate reserves for life policies and annuity contracts, excluding variable annuities, are based on statutory mortality and interest assumptions without consideration for lapses or withdrawals. Under U.S. GAAP, aggregate reserves consider lapses and withdrawals.


(3)
Certain reinsurance transactions, primarily used for annuity business, are recognized as reinsurance for statutory purposes only.


(4)
Ceded reinsurance recoverable are netted against their related reserves within Policyholder liabilities, Life policies and annuity contracts and Life policy and contract claims, on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. Under U.S. GAAP, these ceded reserves are presented on a gross basis as an asset.


(5)
The Company reinsures a portion of its in-force block of business through several reinsurance agreements. Under NAIC SAP, the after-tax gains associated with these indemnity reinsurance transactions are recorded

ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


in Unassigned surplus and recognized through income as future earnings of the books of business emerge. Under U.S. GAAP, the pretax gains associated with such transactions that qualify as reinsurance, are deferred as liabilities and are amortized into operations over the revenue-producing period of the policies.


(6)
Bonds are carried at values prescribed by the NAIC, generally amortized cost, except for those with an NAIC rating of 6, which are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Under U.S. GAAP, bonds classified as “available-for-sale” are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in stockholder’s equity.


(7)
Changes in deferred income taxes are recorded directly to Unassigned surplus. Under U.S. GAAP, these items are recorded as an item of income tax benefit or expense in operations. Moreover, under NAIC SAP, a valuation allowance may be recorded against the deferred tax asset (DTA) and admittance testing may result in an additional charge to capital and surplus for nonadmitted portions of DTAs. Under U.S. GAAP, a valuation allowance may be recorded against the DTA and reflected as an expense.


(8)
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at net equity values as prescribed by the NAIC. Changes in equity values are reflected in Unassigned surplus within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus as credits or charges to Unassigned surplus. Under U.S. GAAP, wholly owned subsidiary results are consolidated.


(9)
The Company is required to establish an asset valuation reserve (AVR) liability and an interest maintenance reserve (IMR) liability. The AVR provides for a standardized statutory investment valuation reserve for certain invested assets. Changes in this reserve are recorded as direct charges or credits to Unassigned surplus. The IMR is designed to defer net realized capital gains and losses resulting from changes in the level of prevailing market interest rates and amortize them into income within the Statutory Statements of Operations over the remaining life of the investment sold. The IMR represents the unamortized portion of applicable investment gains and losses as of the balance sheet date. There is no such concept under U.S. GAAP.


(10)
Canadian asset and liability amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars without foreign exchange translation into U.S. dollars. A net foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded within the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus with an offset to Other changes in capital and surplus within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus. Under U.S. GAAP, Canadian assets and liabilities are converted to U.S. dollars, with any translation adjustment recorded to stockholder’s equity.


(11)
Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted assets” are not recognized and are charged directly to Unassigned surplus within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus. These include, but are not limited to, investments in unaudited subsidiary, controlled, and affiliated (SCA) entities, electronic data processing (EDP) software, portions of goodwill, furniture and fixtures, prepaid expenses, receivables outstanding greater than 90 days, and portions of DTAs. There is no such concept under U.S. GAAP.


(12)
A provision is made for amounts ceded to unauthorized reinsurers in excess of collateral in the form of a trust or letter of credit through a direct charge to Unassigned surplus within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus. There is no such requirement under U.S. GAAP.


(13)
Revenues for universal life policies and annuity contracts, excluding deposit-type contracts, are recognized as revenue when received within the Statutory Statements of Operations. Under U.S. GAAP, policy and contract fees charged for the cost of insurance, policy administrative charges, amortization of policy initiation fees, and surrender contract charges are recorded as revenues when earned.


(14)
Benefits for universal life policies and annuity contracts within the Statutory Statements of Operations, excluding deposit-type contracts, consist of payments made to policyholders. Under U.S. GAAP, benefits represent interest credited, and claims and benefits incurred in excess of the policyholder’s contract balance.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded as direct adjustments to Unassigned surplus as a component of Change in unrealized capital gains (losses) within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus. Derivatives that meet the criteria of an effective hedge are valued and reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability, which is at amortized cost in accordance with hedge accounting

under SSAP No. 86 – Derivatives (SSAP No. 86). Under U.S. GAAP, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in derivative income (loss) as part of operating income and the hedged derivatives are carried at fair value. In addition, the effective and ineffective portions of a hedge are accounted for separately.


(16)
Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received within the Statutory Statements of Operations. Under U.S. GAAP, such commissions are deferred and amortized as a component of deferred acquisition costs.    


(17)
The Statutory Financial Statements do not include a statement of comprehensive income as required under U.S. GAAP.


(18)
The Statutory Statements of Cash Flow do not classify cash flows consistent with U.S. GAAP and a reconciliation of net income to net cash provided from operating activities is not provided.


(19)
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 for NAIC SAP. There is no such requirement under U.S. GAAP.


(20)
Sales inducements and premium bonuses are included in Life policies and annuity contracts in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus, and are charged to current operations as incurred. Under U.S. GAAP, deferred sales inducements and premium bonuses are similarly reserved; however, the costs are capitalized as assets and charged to operations as future profits are recognized in a manner similar to acquisition costs.


(21)
Negative cash balances are presented as a negative asset within the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. These balances are presented as a liability under U.S. GAAP.


(22)
Embedded derivatives are not separated from the host contract and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument. Under U.S. GAAP, entities must separate the embedded derivative from the host contracts and separately account for those embedded derivatives at fair value.


(23)
For certain annuity products with a market value adjustment feature sold to Minnesota residents (MN MVA) and variable-indexed annuities, the Department requires the Company to maintain a separate asset portfolio to back related reserves. These assets and liabilities are required to be included as part of the Separate account assets and Separate account liabilities presented on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. Under U.S. GAAP, there is no such requirement.
(b)    Permitted and Prescribed Statutory Accounting Practices
The Company is required to file annual statements with insurance regulatory authorities, which are prepared on an accounting basis permitted or prescribed by such authorities. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include state laws, regulations, and general administrative rules, as well as a variety of publications of the NAIC. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices differ from state to state, may differ from company to company within a state, and may change in the future. The Company has no permitted or prescribed practices that differ from NAIC SAP that had an impact on net income or surplus as of December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.
The Company’s subsidiary, AZMO, has adopted an accounting practice that is prescribed by the Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions, and Professional Registration of the State of Missouri (the Missouri Department). The effect of the accounting practice allows a letter of credit to be carried as an admitted asset. The balance of the letter of credit asset at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $109 and $113, respectively. Under NAIC SAP, this letter of credit would not be allowed as an admitted asset.
This prescribed practice does not impact the net income of AZMO and results in increases to surplus of $109 and $113 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company’s carrying value of its investment in AZMO per the audited statutory surplus was $345 and $340, and the carrying value of its investment in AZMO would have been $236 and $227 if AZMO had completed Statutory Financial Statements in accordance with the NAIC

Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


SAP as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. AZMO maintains an adequate amount of surplus such that if it had not adopted the prescribed practice, surplus would still exceed the risk-based capital requirements.
(c)    Use of Estimates
The preparation of Statutory Financial Statements in conformity with NAIC SAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of admitted assets and liabilities, including reporting or disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events, including changes in mortality, morbidity, interest rates, capital markets, and asset valuations could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used within the Statutory Financial Statements. Such changes in estimates are recorded in the period they are determined.
(d)    Premiums and Annuity Considerations
Life premiums are recognized as income over the premium paying period of the related policies. Nondeposit-type annuity considerations are recognized as revenue when received. Accident and health premiums are earned ratably over the terms of the related insurance and reinsurance contracts or policies.
(e)    Aggregate Reserves for Life Policies and Annuity Contracts
Reserves are principally calculated as the minimum reserves permitted by the state where the contract is issued for the year in which the contract is issued.
For the Company’s fixed annuity product lines, reserves are calculated using CARVM. The Company uses both issue year and change in fund basis for the calculation method, on a curtate basis, using the maximum allowable interest rate. Deferred fixed-interest and fixed-indexed annuities typically have a two-tier structure to encourage annuitization, or a single-tier structure, which may include a market value adjustment. Either two-tier or single-tier annuities may include bonuses.
For the Company’s variable and variable-indexed annuity product lines, reserves are calculated using Actuarial Guideline XLIII – CARVM for Variable Annuities (AG43), for guaranteed benefits with adequacy confirmed using stochastic scenario testing. Variable deferred annuities include a wide range of guaranteed minimum death benefits and living benefits (income, accumulation, and withdrawal).
Reserves for immediate annuities are calculated using current prescribed mortality tables.
Aggregate reserves for life insurance policies are principally calculated using the Commissioners Reserve Valuation Method (CRVM). Additional reserves are held for supplemental benefits and for contracts with secondary guarantees, consistent with prescribed regulations and actuarial guidelines.
The Company performs an annual asset adequacy analysis as required by regulation covering substantially all of its reserves. These tests are not only performed under the required interest rate scenarios, but also under additional stochastically generated interest and equity growth scenarios. Sensitivity tests, including policy lapse, annuitization, maintenance expenses, and investment return, are performed to evaluate potential insufficiencies in reserve adequacy.The results of these tests and analysis resulted in $0 of additional reserves at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(f)    Aggregate Reserves for Accident and Health Policies
For accident and health business, reserves consist of active life reserves (mainly reserves for unearned premiums and reserves for contingent benefits on individual LTC business) and claim reserves (the present value of amounts not yet due). Claim reserves represent incurred but unpaid claims under group policies. For the LTC business, the asset adequacy analysis was performed through a gross premium valuation. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the results of these tests and analysis supported the establishment of additional reserves of $70 and $48, respectively.
(g)    Deposit-type Contracts
Deposit-type contracts represent liabilities to policyholders in a payout status, who have chosen a fixed payout option without life contingencies. The premiums and claims related to deposit-type contracts are not reflected in





 
13 of 62
 



ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


the Statutory Statements of Operations as they do not have insurance risk. The Company accounts for the contract as a deposit-type contract in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.
(h)    Policy and Contract Claims
Policy and contract claims include the liability for claims reported but not yet paid, claims incurred but not yet reported (IBNR), and claim settlement expenses on the Company’s accident and health business. Actuarial reserve development methods are generally used in the determination of IBNR liabilities. In cases of limited experience or lack of credible claims data, loss ratios are used to determine an appropriate IBNR liability. Claim and IBNR liabilities of a short-term nature are not discounted, but those claim liabilities resulting from disability income or LTC benefits include interest and mortality discounting.
(i)    Reinsurance
The Company assumes and cedes business with other insurers. Reinsurance premium and benefits paid or provided are accounted for in a manner consistent with the basis used in accounting for original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers represent account balances and unpaid claims covered under reinsurance contracts. Amounts paid or deemed to have been paid for claims covered by reinsurance contracts are recorded as a reinsurance recoverable and are included in Other assets on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.
Included in Unassigned surplus is the gain recognized when the Company enters into a coinsurance or yearly renewable term (YRT) agreement on existing business. The gain is deferred and amortized into operations on a basis consistent with how the future earnings emerge on the underlying business.
Reserve adjustments related to reinsurance ceded include reserve increases received from a reinsurer on modified coinsurance ceded.
(j)    Investments
Investment values are determined in accordance with methods prescribed by the NAIC.
Bonds and Stocks
The Securities Valuation Office (SVO) of the NAIC evaluates the credit quality of the Company’s bond investments. Bonds rated at “1” (highest quality), “2” (high quality), “3” (medium quality), “4” (low quality), or “5” (lower quality) are reported at cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts, and any impairment. Bonds rated at “6” (lowest quality) are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value with any adjustments to fair value recorded to Unassigned surplus within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus.
In accordance with its investment policy, the Company invests primarily in high-grade marketable securities. Dividends are accrued on the date declared and interest is accrued as earned. Premiums or discounts on bonds are amortized using the constant-yield method.
Loan-backed securities and structured securities are amortized using anticipated prepayments, in addition to other less significant factors. Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed and structured securities are obtained from various external sources or internal estimates. The Company believes these assumptions are consistent with those a market participant would use. The Company recognizes income using the modified scientific method based on prepayment assumptions and the estimated economic life of the securities. For structured securities, except for collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and impaired bonds, when actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments retrospectively. Any resulting adjustment is included in Net investment income on the Statutory Statements of Operations. For CDOs and impaired bonds, when adjustments are made for anticipated prepayments and other expected changes in future cash flows, the effective yield is recalculated using the prospective method as required by Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 43R – Loan Backed and Structured Securities (SSAP No. 43R).
Hybrid securities are investments structured to have characteristics of both stocks and bonds. The Company records these securities within Bonds on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.

Common stocks, other than investments in subsidiaries and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, are carried at fair value. Preferred stocks are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The related unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in Unassigned surplus, net of federal income taxes within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus. FHLB stock is carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Gross realized gains and losses are computed based on the average amortized cost of all lots held for a particular CUSIP.
The fair value of bonds, and common and preferred stocks is obtained from third-party pricing sources whenever possible. Management completes its own independent price verification (IPV) process, which ensures security pricing is obtained from a third-party source other than the sources used by the Company's internal and external investment managers. The IPV process supports the reasonableness of price overrides and challenges by the internal and external investment managers and reviews pricing for appropriateness. Results of the IPV process are reviewed by the Company’s Pricing Committee.
The Company reviews its combined investment portfolio, including subsidiaries, in aggregate each quarter to determine if declines in fair value are other than temporary.
For bonds for which the fair value is less than amortized cost, the Company evaluates whether a credit loss exists by considering primarily the following factors: (a) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost of the security; (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating, and near-term prospects of the issuer; (c) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments; (d) changes in the financial condition of the security’s underlying collateral, if any; and (e) the payment structure of the security. For loan-backed securities, the Company must allocate other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI) between interest and noninterest-related declines in fair value. Interest-related impairments are considered other than temporary when the Company has the intent to sell the investment prior to recovery of the cost of the investment. The Company maintains a prohibited disposal list that restricts the ability of the investment managers to sell securities in a significant unrealized loss position and requires formal attestations from investment managers regarding their lack of intent to sell certain securities.
The Company evaluates whether equity securities are other-than-temporarily impaired through a review process which includes, but is not limited to, market analysis, analyzing current events, assessing recent price declines, and management’s judgment related to the likelihood of recovery within a reasonable period of time.
Impairments considered to be other-than-temporary are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the security, and a corresponding realized loss is recognized on the Statutory Statements of Operations in the period in which the impairment is determined. Recognition of the realized loss is subject to potential offset by AVR and IMR.
The Company holds certain cash equivalents which receive bond treatment based on their underlying securities. These are classified as Other assets receiving bond treatment in Note 5.
Investment in Subsidiaries
Common stock of the Company’s insurance subsidiaries is carried at SAP capital and surplus, and investments in non-insurance subsidiaries are carried at U.S. GAAP equity value adjusted for certain items that are considered to be non-admitted. Unaudited subsidiaries are fully non-admitted.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate
Mortgage loans on real estate, including commercial mortgage loans (CMLs) and residential mortgage loans (RMLs), are carried at the outstanding principal balance, adjusted for any impairment. The fair value of CMLs is calculated by analyzing individual loans and assigning ratings to each loan based on a combination of loan-to-value ratios and debt service coverage ratios. Fair value is determined based on these factors as well as the contractual cash flows of each loan and the current market interest rates for similar loans. The fair value of RMLs is calculated by discounting estimated cash flows, with discount rates based on current market conditions. The Company evaluates loans quarterly to assess whether there is an impairment based on the likelihood of receiving all contractual cash flows. The Company accounts for interest income on impaired loans on a cash basis. Interest accrual is discontinued for impaired loans and interest income is only recognized when received. Payments received

on impaired loans are applied to accrued interest, and payments received in excess of accrued interest are applied to principal.
Real Estate
Real estate represents the Company’s home office property, and is carried at depreciated cost less encumbrances in accordance with SSAP No. 40 – Real Estate Investments. Real estate income, including income received from home office property, is included in Net investment income on the Statutory Statements of Operations. Real estate, exclusive of land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, accumulated depreciation was $69 and $65, respectively. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, real estate was presented net of encumbrances of $51 and $60, respectively, as discussed in Note 7.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, government money market funds, commercial paper, reverse repurchase agreements (repo), and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, the carrying value is deemed to approximate fair value.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into bilateral and tri-party repos, whereby the Company purchases securities and simultaneously agrees to resell the same securities at a stated price on a specified date in the future, for the purpose of earning a specified rate of return. An affiliate of the Company serves as the agent in the bilateral agreements and an unaffiliated bank serves as the custodian in the tri-party agreements. The bilateral agreements require purchases of specifically identified securities. If at any time the fair value of those purchased securities falls below the purchase price, additional collateral in the form of cash or additional securities is required to be transferred to ensure margin maintenance. The tri-party agreements allow for the purchase of certain bonds and structured securities, and require a minimum of 102% of fair value of the securities purchased to be maintained as collateral.
The Company’s repos are accounted for as collateralized lending in accordance with SSAP No. 103R – Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SSAP No. 103R), whereby the amounts paid for the securities are reported as cash equivalents within Cash and cash equivalents on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The difference between the amount paid and the amount at which the securities will be resold is reported as interest income within Net investment income on the Statutory Statements of Operations.
Policy Loans
Policy loans are supported by the underlying cash value of the policies. Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances plus accrued interest income on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The unpaid principal balances are not in excess of the cash surrender values of the related policies.
Other Invested Assets
The Company participates in securities lending arrangements whereby specific securities are loaned to other institutions. The Company receives collateral from these arrangements including cash and cash equivalents, which can be reinvested based on the Company's discretion, and noncash collateral, which may not be sold or re-pledged unless the counterparty is in default. The Company accounts for its securities lending transactions as secured borrowings, in which the cash collateral received and the related obligation to return the cash collateral are recorded in Other invested assets and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. Noncash collateral received is not reflected on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. Securities on loan remain on the Company’s Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus, and interest and dividend income earned by the Company on loaned securities is recognized in Net investment income on the Statutory Statements of Operations.
Company policy requires a minimum of 102% of fair value of securities loaned under securities lending agreements to be maintained as collateral. The Company's sources of cash used to return cash collateral is dependent upon the

liquidity of current market conditions. The Company has policies in place to manage reinvested collateral at appropriate levels of liquidity.
The Company invests in low income housing tax credit (LIHTC) investments for tax benefits. In accordance with SSAP No. 93 – Low Income Housing Tax Credit Property Investments, the LIHTC investments are carried at cost and adjusted for amortization based on the proportion of total tax credits and other tax benefits expected to be received over the life of the investments. The Company records an asset for the full unfunded investment amount upon entering into a LIHTC agreement; amortization decreases the asset balance over time. A corresponding liability is recorded for the unfunded commitment balance beginning when the LIHTC investment is initially funded, which decreases as the Company provides capital to fund. The asset and liability are recorded in Other invested assets and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The tax benefit is recognized within Income tax expense within the Statutory Statements of Operations. The amortization of the investment is recorded as Net investment income and any impairments are included in Net realized capital gain (loss) within the Statutory Statements of Operations.
Receivables and payables for securities are carried at fair value on the trade date and represent a timing difference on securities that are traded at the balance sheet date but not settled until subsequent to the balance sheet date. Receivables and payables for securities are included in Other invested assets and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.
(k)    Derivatives
The Company utilizes derivatives within certain actively managed investment portfolios for hedging purposes.
Hedge Accounting
The Company elects hedge accounting for certain qualifying derivative instruments. To qualify for hedge accounting, at inception, the Company formally documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction. The documentation links a specific derivative to a specific asset or liability on the Statutory Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus, identifies how the derivative is expected to offset the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value or variability in cash flows attributable to the designated hedge risk, and the effectiveness testing methods to be used. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed at inception and on a quarterly basis throughout the life of the designated hedging relationships.
Hedge effectiveness is assessed using qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods may include comparison of critical terms of the derivative to the hedged item. Quantitative methods include analysis of changes in fair value or cash flows associated with the hedge relationship. Hedge effectiveness may be measured using either the dollar offset method or regression analysis. The dollar offset method compares changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument with changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Regression analysis is a statistical technique used to measure the relationships between the fair values or cash flows of a derivative and a hedged item and how each reacts to changes in the designated hedge risk (i.e., interest rates, foreign currency rates).
A derivative instrument is either classified as an effective hedge or an ineffective hedge. Entities must account for the derivative at fair value if deemed to be ineffective or becomes ineffective. For those derivatives qualifying as effective for hedge accounting, the change in the carrying value or cash flow of the derivative shall be recorded consistently with the way that changes in the carrying value or cash flows of the hedged item are recorded.
Foreign Currency Swaps
The Company utilizes foreign currency swaps to hedge cash flows and applies hedge accounting. Specifically, the Company uses foreign currency swaps to hedge foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations on certain underlying foreign currency denominated fixed-maturity securities. The foreign currency swaps are reported at amortized cost from the date hedge accounting is designated and deemed to be effective, which is consistent with the accounting for the bonds that are the subject of the hedge accounting transactions.

Interest Rate Swaps on Variable Annuity Insurance Liabilities
The Company utilizes interest rate swaps (IRS) to hedge the interest rate risk on certain variable annuity guarantee benefits as a cash flow hedge. The Company designates hedge accounting for these IRS and the Department has accepted the Company's interpretation of SSAP No. 86. The initial book value of the IRS represents the book value created from inception until the designation of hedge accounting. These IRS are held at amortized cost and changes are recognized to the extent they offset changes in the AG43 reserve for the hedged item due to interest rate movement. The initial book value and subsequent changes due to the hedged item or realized gains or losses recorded under hedge accounting (hedge adjustment) are amortized over the duration of the hedge program. The carrying value of the IRS with hedge adjustment, as well as settled variation margin payable, are recorded within Other liabilities on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus, with changes in the IRS hedge adjustment recorded within Other Income on the Statutory Statements of Operations. The carrying value of settled variation margin receivable is recorded within Other assets on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.
The table below illustrates the hedge adjustment calculation for the year ended December 31:

(1) In 2017, the Company restruck a portion of its IRS portfolio that hedges variable annuity liabilities. The restrike transaction included selling a portion of the Company's IRS portfolio to consolidate its net positions. As a result of the transaction, the net losses disclosed here were recorded within the IRS hedge adjustment in line with hedge accounting treatment as discussed above.
(2) The carrying value of the IRS hedge adjustment differs from that disclosed in Note 6 as the amount disclosed in Note 6 has been adjusted for IRS positions no longer held by the Company.
Nonqualifying hedging
Futures and Options Contracts
The Company provides benefits through certain life and annuity products which are linked to the fluctuation of various market indices, and certain variable annuity contracts that provide minimum guaranteed benefits. The Company has analyzed the characteristics of these benefits and has entered into over-the-counter (OTC) option contracts, exchange-traded option (ETO) contracts, and exchange-traded futures contracts tied to an underlying index with similar characteristics with the objective to economically hedge these benefits. Management monitors in-force amounts as well as option and futures contract values to ensure satisfactory matching and to identify unsatisfactory mismatches. If actual persistency deviated, management would purchase or sell option and futures contracts as deemed appropriate or take other actions.
The OTC option contracts and ETO contracts are reported at fair value in Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The fair value of the OTC options is derived internally and deemed by management to be reasonable via performing an IPV process. The process of deriving internal derivative prices requires the Company to calibrate Monte Carlo scenarios to actual market information. The calibrated scenarios are applied to derivative cash flow models to calculate fair value prices for the derivatives. The fair value of the ETO contacts is based on quoted market prices. Incremental gains and losses from expiring options are included in Net realized capital gain (loss) on the Statutory Statements of Operations. The liability for the related policyholder benefits is reported in Life

(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


policies and annuity contracts on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The unrealized gain or loss on open OTC option contracts is recognized as a direct adjustment to Unassigned surplus within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus. Any unrealized gains or losses on open OTC option contracts are recognized as realized when the contracts mature (see Note 5 for further discussion).
Futures contracts do not require an initial cash outlay, and the Company has agreed to daily net settlement based on movements of the representative index. Therefore, no asset or liability is recorded as of the end of the reporting period. A derivative asset or liability and an offsetting variation margin payable or receivable is recorded in Derivative assets or Derivative liabilities in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus for the outstanding unpaid variation margin representing market movements on the last trading day of the year.
Gains and losses are not considered realized until the termination or expiration of the futures contract. Unrealized gains and losses on futures contracts are reflected in the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus in Unassigned surplus, within Change in unrealized capital gains (loss). Realized gains and losses on futures contracts are included in the Statutory Statements of Operations, Net realized capital gain (loss), net of taxes and interest maintenance reserve.
In 2018, NAIC SAP issued an update to SSAP No. 86 clarifying treatment of futures gains and losses, see Note 3 for further discussion. In 2017, futures gains and losses are included in Net realized capital gain (loss) in the 2017 Statutory Statements of Operations.
Interest Rate Swaps, Credit Default Swaps, Total Return Swaps, and To Be Announced Securities
The Company utilizes IRS, credit default swaps (CDS), total return swaps (TRS), and To Be Announced (TBA) securities to economically hedge market risks embedded in certain life and annuity products. The IRS, CDS, TRS and TBA securities are reported at fair value in Derivative assets or Derivative liabilities on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The fair value of the IRS, CDS, and TBA securities are derived using a third-party vendor software program and deemed by management to be reasonable. Centrally cleared IRS fair values are obtained from the exchange on which they are traded. The fair value of the TRS is based on counterparty pricing and deemed by management to be reasonable. Changes in unrealized gains and losses on the swaps are recorded as a direct adjustment to Unassigned surplus within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus. Gains and losses on exchange cleared IRS are recorded as unrealized until the contracts mature or are disposed at which time they are recorded as realized, subject to offset by IMR.
(l)    Corporate-Owned Life Insurance
Corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) is recognized initially as the amount of premiums paid. Subsequent measurement of the contract is based upon the amount that could be realized assuming the surrender of an individual-life policy (or certificate in a group policy), otherwise known as the cash surrender value (CSV), in accordance with SSAP No. 21 – Other Admitted Assets (SSAP No. 21). Changes in CSV resulting from subsequent measurement of the contract are recognized as a component of Other income on the Statutory Statements of Operations. The Company’s COLI policies are reported in Other assets on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.
(m)    Borrowed Money
The Company is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, primarily for the purpose of participating in the FHLB’s mortgage collateralized loan advance program with short-term and long-term funding facilities. Members are required to purchase and hold a minimum amount of FHLB capital stock plus additional stock based on outstanding advances. Through its membership, the Company has issued debt to the FHLB in exchange for cash advances. It is part of the Company’s strategy to utilize funds borrowed from the FHLB for operations and strategic initiatives. The Company’s current borrowings are not subject to prepayment obligations.

ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


Funds obtained from the FHLB and accrued interest are included within Borrowed money within the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus in accordance with SSAP No. 15 – Debt and Holding Company Obligations. The collateral pledged to FHLB is reported as admitted assets within the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus in accordance with admissibility testing under SSAP No. 30 – Unaffiliated Common Stock.
(n)    Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return with AZOA and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated tax allocation agreement stipulates that each company participating in the return will bear its share of the tax liability pursuant to certain tax allocation elections under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and its related regulations and reimbursement will be in accordance with an intercompany tax reimbursement arrangement. The Company, and its insurance subsidiaries, generally will be paid for the tax benefit of any of their tax attributes used by any member of the consolidated group.
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 Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. Any such change could significantly affect the amounts reported in the Statutory Statements of Operations. Management uses best estimates to establish reserves based on current facts and circumstances regarding tax exposure items where the ultimate deductibility is open to interpretation. Quarterly, 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 Internal Revenue Service or the tax courts.
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. DTAs and deferred tax liabilities (DTLs), net of the nonadmitted portion 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. Gross DTAs and DTLs are measured using enacted tax rates and are considered for admitted tax asset status according to the admissibility test as set forth by the NAIC. Changes in DTAs and DTLs, including changes attributable to changes in tax rates, are recognized as a component of Unassigned surplus on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.
(o)    Separate Accounts
Separate account assets and liabilities are primarily funds held for the exclusive benefit of variable and variable-indexed annuity contract holders for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to and the investment risk is borne by contract holders. Separate account assets are reported at fair value in accordance with SSAP No. 56 – Separate Accounts (SSAP No. 56), with the exception of certain bonds, cash, cash equivalents, and investment income due and accrued. Certain assets that are allocated to the index options for the Allianz Index Advantage Variable Annuity (VIA) are invested in bonds, cash, cash equivalents, and investment income due and accrued, and carried at amortized cost in accordance with the product filing requirements in the state of Minnesota.
Amounts due from separate accounts primarily represent the difference between the surrender value of the contracts and the Separate account liability as disclosed on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. This receivable represents the surrender fee that would be paid to the Company upon the surrender of the policy or contract by the policyholder or contract holder as of December 31. Amounts charged to the contract holders for mortality and contract maintenance, and other administrative services fees are included in income within Fees from separate accounts on the Statutory Statements of Operations. These fees have been earned and assessed against contract holders on a daily or monthly basis throughout the contract period and are recognized as revenue when assessed and earned.
(p)    Receivables
Receivable balances approximate estimated fair values. This is based on pertinent information available to

management as of year-end, including the financial condition and creditworthiness of the parties underlying the receivables. Any balances outstanding more than 90 days are nonadmitted on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.
(q)    Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications did not change total admitted assets, capital and surplus, or net income as previously reported.
(3)    Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors
Accounting Changes
Change in Reserves on Account of Change in Valuation Basis
In 2018, the Company changed its valuation basis for certain fixed index annuities with guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB) streams to utilize Type A rates for when GLWB streams extend into the account value equals zero phase. Previously the Company utilized a combination of Type A and Type C rates for this benefit stream. The prior period impacts related to this change were recorded in 2018 and resulted in a pre-tax decrease of $342 to Policyholder liabilities for Life policies and annuity contracts within the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The corresponding increase to surplus for the same amount is recorded in Change in reserve on account of change in valuation basis within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus.
Attained Age Based Income Payment Rate Methodology
In 2018, the Company changed its methodology applied to calculate reserves for attained age-based income payment rates for income policies that have not yet elected payments. The previous methodology calculated reserves for attained age payment rates coinciding with the current policy year and number of years of deferral. The Company changed its methodology to reflect the current benefit available to the policyholder by utilizing the attained age and policy years of deferral coinciding with the next anniversary. Impacts related to prior periods were recorded in 2018 and resulted in a pre-tax increase of $147 to Policyholder liabilities for Life policies and annuity contracts within the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The corresponding decrease to surplus of $117 is recorded in Change in accounting principle, net of tax within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus.
Variable-Indexed Annuity Basic Adjusted Reserve Calculation
In 2018, the Company changed its methodology used to calculate the Basic Adjusted Reserve for variable-indexed annuities to utilize the guaranteed cap instead of the projected index option. The prior period impacts of the methodology change were recorded in 2018 and resulted in a pre-tax decrease of $39 to Policyholder liabilities for Life policies and annuity contracts within the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The corresponding increase to surplus of $31 is recorded in Change in accounting principle, net of tax within the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Adopted in 2019
In August 2019, the NAIC adopted revisions to SSAP No. 43R, Loan-Backed and Structured Securities. These revisions clarify that when a security has different NAIC designations by lot, the reporting entity shall either report the entire investment in a single reporting line at the lowest NAIC designation that would apply to a lot, or report the investment separately by purchase lot in the investment schedule. This update only affects investments with multiple lots at different ratings and would not require the entire schedule to be disclosed at a lot level. These revisions are effective as of September 30, 2019. There was no impact to net income or surplus during the year ended December 31, 2019, as a result of adopting the revised standard.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards – Adopted in 2018
In 2017, the NAIC adopted revisions to SSAP No. 69, Statement of Cash Flow, by adopting ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, in its entirety. The revisions provide guidance on the classification of eight different subject matter topics including: 1) Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, 2) Settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective

interest rate of the borrowing, 3) Contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, 4) Proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, 5) Proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, 6) Distributions received from equity method investors, 7) Beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and 8) Separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The revisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to apply the cumulative earnings approach in recording distributions from equity method investments in the statements of cash flow upon adoption of the revisions. There was no impact to net income or surplus during the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of adopting the revisions.
In 2017, the NAIC adopted revisions to SSAP No. 86. These revisions clarify that variation margin changes should not be recognized as "settlement" until the derivative contract has terminated and instead should be recognized as an adjustment to the carrying value of the derivative contract as a separate asset or liability. The revisions are effective January 1, 2018 with prospective application. Upon adoption, the Company reflected a prospective change in variation margin for all futures contracts as unrealized until sale, maturity, or expiration, resulting in a pre-tax decrease of $8 to net income and no impact to surplus for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards – To Be Adopted
In 2016, the NAIC adopted revisions to SSAP No. 51R – Life Contracts, and SSAP No. 54 – Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts, Issue Paper No. 154 – Implementation of Principles-Based Reserving. These revisions relate to the adoption of the Valuation Manual and provides for principles based reserving for Life and Heath contracts: 1) VM-20, Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Life Products, was effective January 1, 2017, with an optional three year deferral. The company elected the deferral and will adopt this update effective January 1, 2020. It will apply to business issued on or after this date. 2) VM-21, Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Variable Annuities, is effective January 1, 2020, and is effective for business issued after 1980. This update replaces Actuarial Guideline 43. The Company will adopt this update January 1, 2020 and expects a pre-tax impact of $1 to income and surplus as a result of adopting this standard. 3) VM-22, Statutory Maximum Valuation Interest Rates for Income Annuities,was effective January 1, 2018. It applies to annuitizations on contracts issued on or after that date. Because most annuitizations occur years after contract issuance, the impact to net income and surplus has not been material. 4) VM-25, Health Insurance Reserves Minimum Requirements, and VM-26, Credit Life and Disability Reserve Requirements, are not applicable as the Company does not issue these contracts.
In 2018, the NAIC adopted SSAP No. 108 – Derivatives Hedging Variable Annuity Guarantees. This standard establishes statutory accounting principles to address certain limited derivative transactions hedging variable annuity guarantees subject to fluctuations as a result of interest rate sensitivity. It is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted January 1, 2019. The Company will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2020, and de-designate its current hedging relationship and establish a new hedging relationship under SSAP No. 108. The adoption of SSAP No. 108 will not impact the previous hedging relationship, and the IRS hedge adjustment recognized on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus will continue to be amortized over the remainder of the underlying business. IRS amounts deferred under SSAP No. 108 will be amortized using SSAP No. 108 requirements, capped at 10 years. The Company does not expect an initial impact to net income or surplus as a result of adopting the standard.
In August 2019, the NAIC adopted SSAP No. 22R, Leases. This revised standard is a substantive revision, reorganization, and clarification of SSAP No. 22. It also adopts much of the language of US GAAP ASU 2016-02, Leases, but retains operating lease accounting for Statutory accounting. The revisions are effective January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the amendment as of January 1, 2020 and does not expect an impact on net income or surplus as a result of adopting the revised standard.
Corrections of Errors
The Company records correction of errors in accordance with SSAP No. 3 – Accounting Changes and Correction of Errors (SSAP No. 3). SSAP No. 3 prescribes that the correction of errors in previously issued Statutory Financial Statements will be reported as an adjustment to capital and surplus in the period the error is detected. These errors are shown within Correction of errors, net of tax, on the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, there were no Corrections of errors recorded on the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus.

(4)    Risk Disclosures
The following is a description of the significant risks facing the Company and how it attempts to mitigate those risks:
(a)    Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that issuers of fixed-income securities, borrowers of mortgages on commercial real estate, or other parties with whom the Company has transactions, such as reinsurers and derivative counterparties, default on their contractual obligations, resulting in unexpected credit losses.
The Company mitigates this risk by adhering to investment policies and limits that provide portfolio diversification on an asset class, asset quality, creditor, and geographical basis, and by complying with investment limitations from applicable state insurance laws and regulations. The Company considers all relevant objective information available in estimating the cash flows related to structured securities. The Company actively monitors and manages exposures, and determines whether any securities are impaired. The aggregate credit risk is influenced by management’s risk/return preferences, the economic and credit environment, and the ability to manage this risk through liability portfolio management.
For derivative counterparties, the Company mitigates credit risk by tracking and limiting exposure to each counterparty through limits that are reported regularly and, once breached, restricts further trades; establishing relationships with counterparties rated BBB+ and higher; and monitoring the CDS of each counterparty as an early warning signal to cease trading when credit default swap spreads imply severe impairment in credit quality.
The Company executes Credit Support Annexes (CSA) with all active and new counterparties which further limits credit risk by requiring counterparties to post collateral to a segregated account to cover any counterparty exposure. Additionally most transactions are cleared through a clearinghouse thereby transferring counterparty risk from the bank to the clearinghouse that tends to have stronger credit. This often leads to increased collateralization and lower counterparty risk for the Company.
(b)    Credit Concentration Risk
Credit concentration risk is the risk of increased exposure to significant asset defaults (of a single security issuer); economic conditions (if business is concentrated in a certain industry sector or geographic area); or adverse regulatory or court decisions (if concentrated in a single jurisdiction) affecting credit.
The Company’s Finance Committee, responsible for asset/liability management (ALM) issues, recommends an investment policy to the Company’s Board of Directors (BOD) and approves the strategic asset allocation and accompanying investment mandates for an asset manager with respect to asset class. The investment policy and accompanying investment mandates specify asset allocation among major asset classes and the degree of asset manager flexibility for each asset class. The investment policy complies, at a minimum, with state statutes. Compliance with the policy is monitored by the Finance Committee who is responsible for implementing internal controls and procedures. Deviations from the policy are monitored and addressed. The Finance Committee and, subsequently, the BOD review the investment policy at least annually.
To further mitigate this risk, internal concentration limits based on credit rating and sector are established and are monitored regularly. Any ultimate obligor group exceeding these limits is placed on a restricted list to prevent further purchases, and the excess exposure may be actively sold down to comply with concentration limit guidelines. Any exceptions require Chief Risk Officer approval and monitoring by the Risk Committee. Further, the Company performs a quarterly concentration risk calculation to ensure compliance with the State of Minnesota insurance regulations.
(c)    Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that unexpected timing or amounts of cash needed will require liquidation of assets in a market that will result in a realized loss or an inability to sell certain classes of assets such that an insurer will be unable to meet its obligations and contractual guarantees. Liquidity risk also includes the risk that in the event of a company liquidity crisis, refinancing is only possible at higher interest rates. Liquidity risk can be affected by the maturity of liabilities, the presence of withdrawal penalties, the breadth of funding sources, and terms of funding

Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


sources. It can also be affected by counterparty collateral triggers as well as whether anticipated liquidity sources, such as credit agreements, are cancelable.
The Company manages liquidity within four specific domains: (1) monitoring product development, product management, business operations, and the investment portfolio; (2) setting ALM strategies; (3) managing the cash requirements stemming from the Company’s derivative dynamic economic hedging activities; and (4) establishing liquidity facilities to provide additional liquidity. The Company has established liquidity risk limits, which are approved by the Company’s Risk Committee, and the Company monitors its liquidity risk regularly. The Company also sets target levels for the liquid securities in its investment portfolio.
(d)    Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that movements in interest rates or interest rate volatility will cause a decrease in the value of an insurer’s assets relative to the value of its liabilities and/or an unfavorable change in prepayment activity resulting in compressed interest margins.
The Company has an ALM strategy to align cash flows and duration of the investment portfolio with policyholder liability cash flows and duration. The Company further limits interest rate risk on variable annuity guarantees through economic interest rate hedges. The Company monitors the economic and accounting impacts of interest rate stress scenarios on assets and liabilities regularly.
(e)    Equity Market Risk
Equity market risk is the risk that movements in equity prices or equity volatility will cause a decrease in the value of an insurer’s assets relative to the value of its liabilities.
The policy value of the fixed-indexed universal life, fixed-indexed annuity, and variable-indexed annuity products is generally linked to equity market indices. The Company economically hedges this exposure with derivatives.
Variable annuity products may provide a minimum guaranteed level of benefits irrespective of market movements. The Company has adopted an economic hedging program to manage the equity risk of these products.
The Company monitors the impacts of equity stress scenarios on assets and liabilities regularly.
Basis risk is the risk that variable annuity hedge asset value changes unexpectedly relative to the value of the underlying separate account funds of the variable annuity contracts. Basis risk may arise from the Company’s inability to directly hedge the underlying investment options of the variable annuity contracts. The Company regularly reviews and synchronizes fund mappings, product design features, hedge design, and manages funds line-up.
(f)    Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, from human misbehavior or error, or from external events. Operational risk is comprised of the following seven risk categories: (1) external fraud; (2) internal fraud; (3) employment practices and workplace safety; (4) clients/third-party, products and business practices; (5) damage to physical assets; (6) business disruption and system failure; and (7) execution, delivery, and process management. Operational risk is comprehensively managed through a combination of core qualitative and quantitative activities.
The Operational Risk Management framework includes the following key activities: (1) an Operational Risk Capital Model covering all material types of operational risks, under which the Company quantifies and regularly monitors operational risk; (2) loss data capture to create transparency and gather information about losses that meet a designated threshold. Business owners are required to identify and resolve the root cause of operational loss events; and (3) an integrated risk and control system, a bottom-up risk assessment process for significant operational risk scenarios, to proactively manage significant operational risk scenarios throughout the organization.
(g)    Regulatory Change Risk
Regulatory change risk is the risk that regulatory changes and imposed regulation, including tax law changes, may materially impact the Company's business model, sales levels, and ability to effectively comply with regulations.





 
24 of 62
 



ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


The Company actively monitors all regulatory changes and participates in national and international discussions relating to legal, regulatory, and accounting changes. The Company maintains active membership with various professional and industry trade organizations. A formal process exists to review, analyze, and implement new legislation as it is enacted.
(h)    Rating Agency Risk
Rating agency risk is the risk that rating agencies change their outlook or rating of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. The rating agencies generally utilize proprietary capital adequacy models in the process of establishing ratings for the Company. The Company is at risk of changes in these models and the impact that changes in the underlying business that it is engaged in can have on such models. To mitigate this risk, the Company maintains regular communications with the rating agencies and evaluates the impact of significant transactions on such capital adequacy models and considers the same in the design of transactions to minimize the adverse impact of this risk. Rating agency capital is calculated and analyzed regularly.
(i)    Mortality/Longevity Risk
Mortality/longevity risk is the risk that mortality experience is different than the life expectancy assumptions used by the Company to price its products.
The Company mitigates mortality risk primarily through reinsurance, whereby the Company cedes a significant portion of its mortality risk to third parties. The Company also manages mortality risk through the underwriting process. Both mortality and longevity risks are managed through the review of life expectancy assumptions and experience in conjunction with active product management.
(j)    Lapse Risk
Lapse risk is the risk that actual lapse experience evolves differently than the assumptions used for pricing and valuation exercises leading to a significant loss in Company value and/or income.
The Company mitigates this risk by performing sensitivity analysis at the time of pricing to affect product design, adding Market Value Adjustments and surrender charges when appropriate, regular ALM analysis, and exercising management levers at issue, as well as post-issue as experience evolves. Policyholder experience is monitored regularly.
(k)    Cyber Security Risk
Cyber security risk is the risk of losses due to external and/or internal attacks impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of key systems, data, and processes reliant on digital technology. The Company has implemented preventative, detective, response, and recovery measures including firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, advanced malware detection, spyware and anti-virus software, email protection, network and laptop encryption, web content filtering, web application firewalls, and regular scanning of all servers and network devices to identify vulnerabilities. Controls are implemented to prevent and review unauthorized access.
(l)    Reinsurance Risk
Reinsurance risk is the risk that reinsurance companies default on their obligation where the Company has ceded a portion of its insurance risk. The Company uses reinsurance to limit its risk exposure to certain business lines and to enable better capital management.
Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company.
The Company mitigates this risk by requiring certain counterparties to meet thresholds related to the counterparty’s credit rating, exposure, or other factors. If the thresholds are not met by those counterparties, they are required to establish a trust or letter of credit backed by assets meeting certain quality criteria. All arrangements are regularly monitored to determine whether trusts or letters of credit are sufficient to support the ceded liabilities and that their terms are being met. Also, the Company reviews the financial standings and ratings of its reinsurance counterparties

and monitors concentrations of credit risk to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies regularly.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the number of investment holdings that were in an unrealized loss position was 548 and 2,915, respectively, for bonds, and 19 and 25, respectively, for common stocks.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, of the total amount of unrealized losses, $80, or 83.2%, and $2,409, or 96.7%, respectively, are related to unrealized losses on investment grade securities. Investment grade is defined as a security having an NAIC SVO credit rating of 1 or 2. Unrealized losses on securities are principally related to changes in interest rates or changes in sector spreads from the date of purchase. As contractual payments continue to be met, management continues to expect all contractual cash flows to be received and does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company analyzes certain financing receivables for credit risk by using specific credit quality indicators. The Company has determined the loan-to-value ratio and the debt service coverage ratio are the most reliable indicators in analyzing the credit risk of its CML portfolio. The loan-to-value ratio is based on the Company’s internal valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow analysis and comparative sales, depending on the characteristics of the property being evaluated. The debt service coverage ratio analysis is normalized to reflect a 25 year amortization schedule.
The credit quality as of December 31 is shown below:

Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


(f)    Loan-Backed Securities
SSAP No. 43R requires the bifurcation of impairment losses on loan-backed or structured securities into interest and noninterest-related portions. The noninterest portion is the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security and the amortized cost basis of the security. The interest portion is the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security and its fair value at the balance sheet date.
The Company had no loan-backed securities recognized in OTTI for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and an immaterial amount for the year ended December 31, 2017.
(g)    Derivatives and Hedging Instruments
The Company uses exchange-traded and OTC derivative instruments as a risk management strategy to economically hedge its exposure to various market risks associated with both its products and operations. Derivative assets and liabilities that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded at fair value in the Statutory Financial Statements using valuation techniques further discussed in Note 6. The Company has derivative contracts with financing premium. The premium cost and fair value of derivative instruments with financing premium is shown below:

Derivatives held by the Company are designated as either a cash flow hedging instrument (cash flow hedge) or nonqualified hedging instrument (nonqualifying strategies).
(1) Cash Flow Hedges
Foreign Currency Swaps on Debt Securities
Foreign currency swaps have notional amounts and maturity dates equal and offsetting to the underlying debt securities and are determined to be highly effective as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Interest Rate Swaps on Variable Annuity Insurance Liabilities
IRS traded after June 2013 are centrally cleared through an exchange. For IRS traded prior to June 2013 the IRS exposure was netted with other OTC derivatives upon settlement and were subject to the rules of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. agreements. The fair values of the collateral posted for OTC and exchange traded derivatives are discussed in the derivative collateral management section below.
The Company designates hedge accounting for these IRS as a cash flow hedge. The hedge is determined to be highly effective as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Since these hedges are effective, the hedges qualify for hedge accounting and thus, the swaps are valued and reported at amortized cost beginning from the date when hedge accounting is designated.

(2) Nonqualifying Strategies
Futures and Options Contracts
OTC options and ETO are cleared through the Options Clearing Corporation, which operates under the jurisdiction of both the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. The fair values of the collateral posted for futures, OTC options, and ETO are discussed in the derivative collateral management section below.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company can receive the fixed or variable rate; IRS are traded in varying maturities. The fair values of the collateral posted and variation margin for OTC and centrally cleared IRS are discussed in the derivative collateral management section below.
Credit Default Swaps
The CDS within the investment portfolios assume credit risk from a single entity or referenced index for the purpose of synthetically replicating investment transactions. The Company can be required to pay or be the net receiver on the contract depending on the net position. Credit events include bankruptcy of the reference and failure to pay by the reference. The notional amount is equal to the maximum potential future loss amount. The fair value of the collateral posted for centrally cleared CDS is discussed in the derivative collateral management section below.
Total Return Swaps
The Company engages in the use of OTC TRS, which allow the parties to exchange cash flows based on a variable reference rate such as the three-month LIBOR and the return of an underlying index. The fair value of the collateral posted for OTC TRS is discussed in the derivative collateral management section below.
To Be Announced Securities
The Company uses OTC TBA forward contracts to gain exposure to the investment risk and return of mortgage-backed securities. Typically, the price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is made at a specified future date. The fair value of the collateral posted for OTC TBA securities is discussed in the derivative collateral management section below.

ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Valuations derived from techniques that utilize observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, such as:
(a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
(b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
(c) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable.
(d) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Valuations derived from techniques in which the significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 fair values reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).
The Company has analyzed the valuation techniques and related inputs, evaluated its assets and liabilities reported at fair value, and determined an appropriate fair value hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. Based on the results of this evaluation and investment class analysis, each financial asset and liability was classified into Level 1, 2, or 3.
The following presents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and their corresponding level in the fair value hierarchy at December 31:

(a) The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at NAV that are included in Level 2 within this table.
The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values for the assets and liabilities listed in the above table. These fair values represent an exit price (i.e., what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for an asset in a current sale or charge to transfer a liability). The Company has not made changes to valuation techniques in 2019.
(a)    Valuation of Bonds and Unaffiliated Stock
The fair value of bonds is based on quoted market prices in active markets when available. Based on the market data, the securities are categorized into asset class, and based on the asset class of the security, appropriate pricing applications, models and related methodology, and standard inputs are utilized to determine what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for the security in a current sale. When quoted prices are not readily available or in an inactive market, standard inputs used in the valuation models, listed in approximate order of priority, include, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board reported trades, Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities Information Repository material event notices, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and industry and economic events. In some cases, including private placement securities and certain difficult-to-price securities, internal pricing models may be used that are based on market proxies.
Generally, U.S. Treasury securities and exchange-traded stocks are included in Level 1. Most bonds for which prices are provided by third-party pricing sources are included in Level 2, because the inputs used are market observable. Bonds for which prices were obtained from broker quotes, certain bonds without active trading markets and private placement securities that are internally priced are included in Level 3.
The fair value of unaffiliated common stocks is based on quoted market prices in active markets when available and included in Level 1. When quoted prices are not readily available or in an inactive market, the Company arrives at fair value utilizing internal pricing models based on available market inputs or obtains valuations from third party brokers or investment managers. Such investments may be categorized in Level 2 or Level 3.
(b)    Valuation of Derivatives
Active markets for OTC options do not exist. The fair value of OTC options is derived internally, by calculating their expected discounted cash flows, using a set of calibrated, risk-neutral stochastic scenarios, including a market data monitor, a market data model generator, a stochastic scenario calibrator, and the actual asset pricing calculator. The valuation results are reviewed by Management via the Pricing Committee. OTC options that are internally priced, foreign currency swaps, CDS, TBA securities, and IRS are included in Level 2, because they use market observable inputs. TRS are included in Level 3 because they use valuation techniques in which significant inputs are unobservable. The fair value of ETOs and futures are based on quoted market prices and are generally included in Level 1.

Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


Certain derivatives are priced using external third-party vendors. The Company has controls in place to monitor the valuations of these derivatives. Using market observable inputs, IRS prices are derived from a third-party source and are independently recalculated internally and reviewed for reasonableness at the position level on a monthly basis. TRS prices are obtained from the respective counterparties. These prices are also internally recalculated and reviewed for reasonableness at the position level on a monthly basis.
(c)    Valuation of Separate Account Assets and Separate Account Derivative Liabilities
Separate account assets and Separate account derivative liabilities, with the exception of certain bonds, cash, cash equivalents, and investment income due and accrued, are carried at fair value, which is based on the fair value of the underlying assets. Funds in the separate accounts are primarily invested in variable investment option funds with the following investment types: bond, domestic equity, international equity, or specialty. Variable investment option funds are included in Level 1 because their fair value is based on quoted prices in active, observable markets. The remaining investments are categorized similar to the investments held by the Company in the general account (e.g., if the separate account invested in bonds, short-term investments and derivatives, that portion could be classified within Level 2 or Level 3). Certain bonds, cash, and cash equivalents, along with related accrued investment income, carried at amortized cost within the separate account have an amortized cost of $8,607 and a fair value of $8,928 as of December 31, 2019. There were no separate account assets carried at amortized cost in the separate account as of December 31, 2018. Separate account assets carried at amortized cost are included in the table in section 6(g) below.
(d)    Level 3 Rollforward

Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


(e)    Transfers
The Company reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications annually. Transfers between levels occur when there are changes in the observability of inputs and market activity.
All transfers into Level 3 were a result of observable inputs no longer being considered reliable or could no longer be validated against an alternative source. The transfers out of Level 3 were a result of securities no longer being carried at fair value as a result of new availability of reliable observable inputs or the ability to validate market price of the security against an alternative source.
(f)    Sensitivity of Fair Value Measurements to Changes in Unobservable Inputs
Bonds: The primary unobservable input used in the discounted cash flow models for states and political subdivisions, foreign government, and corporate bonds is a corporate index option adjusted spread (OAS). The corporate index OAS used is based on a security's sector, rating, and average life. A significant increase (decrease) of the corporate index OAS in isolation could result in a decrease (increase) in fair value.
CDO and certain mortgage-backed securities are priced by a third-party vendor and the Company internally reviews the valuation for reasonableness. The Company does not have insight into the specific inputs used; however, the key unobservable inputs would generally include default rates. A significant increase (decrease) in default rates in isolation could result in an decrease (increase) in fair value.
Common stocks: The primary unobservable input used to value common stock are indicative quotes received from third-party vendors. A significant increase (decrease) in the indicative quotes in isolation could result in a decrease (increase) in fair value.
Derivative assets and liabilities: The TRS are priced by a third-party vendor and the Company internally reviews the valuation for reasonableness. The Company does not have insight into the specific inputs used; however, the key unobservable input would generally include the spread. For a long position, a significant increase (decrease) in the spread used in the fair value of the TRS in isolation could result in higher (lower) fair value. For a short position, a significant increase (decrease) in the spread used in the fair value of the TRS in isolation could result in lower (higher) fair value.
(g)    Estimates
The Company has been able to estimate the fair value of all financial assets and liabilities.

(b) The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at NAV that are included in Level 2 in this table. In addition, the Company has no assets or liabilities for which it is not practicable to measure at fair value.
A description of the Company’s valuation techniques for financial instruments not reported at fair value and categorized within the fair value hierarchy is shown below:
Valuation of Preferred Stock
The fair value of unaffiliated preferred stocks is based on quoted market prices in active markets. When available, such investments are included in Level 1. When quoted prices are not readily available or in an inactive market, the Company arrives at fair value utilizing internal pricing models based on available market inputs. Such investments may be categorized in Level 2 or Level 3.
Valuation of FHLB Stock
FHLB stock, included in Common stocks, is not traded in an active market and is categorized in Level 3. FHLB stock is carried at cost, which approximates fair value unless it is impaired, based on provisions within the Company’s FHLB agreement that allow for return of outstanding shares of FHLB stock at the Company’s cost basis.
Valuation of Mortgage Loans on Real Estate
The fair value of commercial mortgage loans on real estate is calculated by analyzing individual loans and assigning ratings to each loan based on a combination of loan-to-value ratios and debt service coverage ratios. Fair value is determined based on these factors as well as the contractual cash flows of each loan and the current market interest rates for similar loans. The fair value of residential mortgage loans on real estate is calculated by discounting estimated cash flows, with discount rates based on current market conditions.

ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


Valuation of Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are comprised of money market mutual funds, cash sweep accounts, and reverse repurchase agreements. The fair value of money market mutual funds and cash sweep accounts is based on quoted market prices in active markets and included in Level 1. Reverse repurchase prices are provided by third-party pricing sources and included in Level 2, because the inputs used to determine fair value are market observable.
Valuation of Short-term Investments
Short-term investments are comprised of bonds due in one year or less. The fair value of bonds is determined in line with bonds above.
Valuation of Securities Lending Reinvested Collateral Assets
Collateral held from securities lending agreements is primarily comprised of short-term and long-term highly liquid fixed-maturity securities. Fair values are determined and classified within the fair value hierarchy in a manner consistent with the method utilized to determine the fair value of similar securities (fixed-income securities, equity securities, cash and cash equivalents) held within the Company’s general account investment portfolio.
Valuation of Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets include LIHTC investments, limited partnership investments, loans to affiliates, and restricted stock unit (RSU) assets. As there is no observable market data on which to calculate fair value of the LIHTC investment balances, the fair value is set equal to carrying value. Limited partnership investments are recorded using the cost method in line with SSAP No. 48 – Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies using unobservable inputs. Loans to affiliates are carried at cost; due to the lack of an active market, the current carrying value is the only market price at which the transaction could be settled, the Company believes cost approximates fair value. Due to the use of unobservable inputs, LIHTC investments, limited partnership investments, and loans to affiliates are categorized as Level 3. RSU assets tied to the share price of Allianz SE stock but does not participate in an active market; given this, it is categorized as Level 2.
Valuation of COLI
The COLI policies held by the Company are carried at their respective cash surrender values, which approximates fair value. The cash surrender value of the policies is based on the value of the underlying assets, which are regularly priced utilizing observable inputs. The COLI asset is included within Other assets on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the cash surrender value in an investment vehicle is $625 and $562, respectively, and is allocated into the following categories based on primary underlying investment characteristics:

Valuation of Borrowed Money
The fair value of the FHLB borrowing is calculated on a discounted cash flow basis. Each position includes a monthly interest rate, a maturity payment amount, and a maturity date. The interest and maturity payments are projected as of the valuation date, and the expected cash flows are discounted using the valuation date swap curve.
Valuation of Payable for Securities Lending
Securities lending payable is set equal the to the cash collateral received. Due to the short-term nature of these loans, the carrying value is deemed to approximate fair value.
Valuation of Payable for Securities
Included in Payable for securities is the LIHTC investments unfunded commitment liability. As there is no observable market data on which to calculate fair value of the LIHTC investment unfunded commitment asset and liability, fair value is set equal to carrying value, and the balance is categorized as Level 3.
Valuation of Other Liabilities
Other liabilities includes the IRS hedge adjustment for certain variable annuity guarantee benefits. The carrying value is equal to the initial book value of the IRS created from inception until the designation of hedge accounting in addition to subsequent changes due to the hedged item or realized gains or losses recorded under hedge accounting. The fair value represents the fair value of the IRS that are not recorded on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus due to the hedge accounting designation, and is determined in line with item (b) above. See Note 2(k) for further discussion of the Company's hedge accounting treatment.
Valuation of Separate Account Liabilities
In accordance with SSAP No. 56, the fair value of separate account liabilities is set to equal the fair value of separate account assets.
(7)    Mortgage Notes Payable
In 2004, the Company obtained an $80 mortgage loan from an unrelated third-party for the Company’s headquarters. In 2005, the Company agreed to enter into a separate loan agreement with the same counterparty in conjunction with the construction of an addition to the Company’s headquarters of $65. This loan was funded in 2006 and combined with the existing mortgage. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the combined loan had a balance of $51 and $60, respectively, and is reported within Real estate on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. This 20 year, fully amortizing loan has an interest rate of 5.52%, with a maturity date of August 1, 2024. The level principal and interest payments are made monthly. The loan allows for prepayment; however, it is accompanied by a make-whole provision.
Interest expense for all loans is $3, $4, and $4, in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, and is presented in Net investment income on the Statutory Statements of Operations.
The future principal payments required under the loan are as follows:

The realization of the DTAs is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods. Based on historical results and the prospects for future current operations, management anticipates that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient for the realization of the remaining DTAs.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act of 2017) was enacted on December 22, 2017, thereby requiring various adjustments be reflected in the Statutory Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017. The Tax Act of 2017, among its many elements, lowers the corporate tax rate to 21%, a reduction from the historical 35% rate. Accordingly, the Company revalued its deferred tax inventory as of December 31, 2017 to reflect the lower tax rate, resulting in a decrease to its net deferred tax asset of $7 and a corresponding decrease to surplus as of December 31, 2017. There was no change in nonadmitted assets due to the revaluation of net deferred tax assets.
In computing taxable income, life insurance companies are allowed a deduction attributable to their life insurance and accident and health reserves. The Tax Act of 2017 significantly changed the methodology by which these reserves are computed for tax purposes. The changes are effective for tax years beginning after 2017 and are subject to a transition rule that spreads the additional income tax liability over the subsequent eight years beginning in 2018.  Due to complexities in the new methodology and limited guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury, the Company has recorded provisional amounts for the deferred tax revaluation associated with the changes in the computation of life insurance tax reserves based on information available at December 31, 2017.  Pursuant to Interpretation of the SAP Working Group 18-01: Updated Tax Estimates under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, provisional tax computations related to these amounts were reasonably estimated as of December 31, 2017 and have been adjusted based on guidance received from Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury. Adjusted amounts are reflected in the Company's results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The Change in net deferred income tax is comprised of the following (this analysis is exclusive of the nonadmitted DTAs as the Change in nonadmitted assets is reported separately from the Change in net deferred income tax in the Unassigned surplus section of the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus):

(1) On December 22, 2017, the United States passed the Tax Act of 2017, which reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result, the deferred taxes recorded on the Statutory Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus were revalued to reflect the reduction in the future corporate tax rate.
(2) The IRS hedge portfolio restrike in December 2017 (see Note 5) had a significant impact on 2017 tax hedge reclassification.
(3) Tax on capital gains (losses) is excluded from federal and foreign income taxes incurred and detailed in Note 5(c).
(e)    Carryforwards, Recoverable Taxes, and IRC Section 6603 Deposits
As of December 31, 2019, there are no operating losses or tax credit carryforwards available for tax purposes.
There are no Federal income taxes available for recoupment in the event of future net losses.
There are no aggregate deposits admitted under Section 6603 of the IRC.
The Company had tax contingencies computed in accordance with SSAP No. 101 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in federal income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 the Company recognized expenses of $0, $(1), and $1 in interest and penalties, respectively. The Company had $1 and $2 for the unrecognized tax benefits and related accrued interest at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(f)    Consolidated Federal Income Tax Return

income tax return filed by AZOA for the 2015 tax year, which included carrybacks to the 2012 tax year. This examination concluded in October 2018 with the IRS only making one immaterial adjustment that increased the Company’s tax liability for 2012 by approximately $1. The IRS has been engaged in an examination of AZOA’s 2016 and 2017 income tax returns since late 2017 but no Proposed Adjustments related to the Company or any Revenue Agent Report has been received as of December 31, 2019.

(10)    Accident and Health Claim Reserves
Accident and health claim reserves are based on estimates that are subject to uncertainty. Uncertainty regarding reserves of a given accident year is gradually reduced as new information emerges each succeeding year, thereby allowing more reliable reevaluations of such reserves. While management believes that reserves as of December 31, 2019 are appropriate, uncertainties in the reserving process could cause reserves to develop favorably or unfavorably in the near term as new or additional information emerges. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in the operating results of the periods in which they are made. Movements in reserves could significantly impact the Company’s future reported earnings.
Activity in the accident and health claim reserves is summarized as follows:

(11)    Reinsurance
The Company primarily enters into reinsurance agreements to manage risk resulting from its life, annuity, and accident and health businesses, as well as businesses the Company has chosen to exit. In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss by ceding risks under yearly renewal term, coinsurance, and modified coinsurance.
The Company monitors the financial exposure and financial strength of the reinsurers on an ongoing basis. The Company attempts to mitigate risk by securing recoverable balances with various forms of collateral, including arranging trust accounts and letters of credit with certain reinsurers.
The effect of reinsurance on reserves, deposit-type contracts, and claims, for amounts recoverable from other insurers, was as follows:

(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


the Company. It is the Company’s policy to fund the AAAP costs as incurred. The Company has expensed $13, $12, and $16 in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, toward the AAAP matching contributions and administration expenses.
A defined group of highly compensated employees is eligible to participate in the AZOAC Deferred Compensation Plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide tax planning opportunities, as well as supplemental funds upon retirement. The plan is unfunded, meaning no assets of the Company have been segregated or defined to represent the liability for accrued assets under the plan. Employees are 100% vested upon enrollment in the plan for funds they have deferred. Employees’ funds are invested on a pay period basis and are immediately vested. Participants and the Company share the administrative fee. The accrued liability of $56 and $39 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is recorded in Other liabilities on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.
The Company sponsors a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for a defined group of agents. The Company can make discretionary contributions to the plan in the form and manner the Company determines reasonable. Discretionary contributions are currently determined based on production. The accrued liability of $71 and $78 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is recorded in Other liabilities on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.
The Company participates in a stock-based compensation plan sponsored by Allianz SE, which awards certain employees Restricted Stock Units (RSU) that are tied to Allianz SE stock. Allianz SE determines the number of RSU granted to each participant. The Company records expense equal to the change in fair value of the units during the reporting period, which includes the Company's estimate of the number of awards expected to be forfeited. A change in value of $10, $5, and $9 was recorded in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, and is included in General and administrative expenses on the Statutory Statements of Operations. The related liability of $18 and $15 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is recorded in Other liabilities on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.
(17)    Statutory Capital and Surplus
Statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Company’s state of domicile are directed toward insurer solvency and protection of policyholders. As such, the Company is required to meet minimum statutory capital and surplus requirements. The Company’s statutory capital and surplus as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, were in compliance with these requirements. The maximum amount of ordinary dividends that can be paid by Minnesota insurance companies to the stockholder without prior approval of the Department is subject to restrictions relating to statutory earned surplus, also known as unassigned funds. Unassigned funds are determined in accordance with the accounting procedures and practices governing preparation of the statutory annual statement. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the Company may declare and pay from its Unassigned surplus cash dividends of not more than the greater of 10% of its prior year-end statutory surplus, or the net gain from operations of the insurer, not including realized gains, for the 12-month period ending the 31st day of the next preceding year. Based on these limitations, ordinary dividends of $795 can be paid in 2020 without prior approval of the Department.
Regulatory Risk-Based Capital
An insurance enterprise’s state of domicile imposes minimum risk-based capital requirements that were developed by the NAIC. The formulas for determining the amount of risk-based capital specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of an enterprise’s regulatory total adjusted capital to its authorized control level risk-based capital, as defined by the NAIC. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. This ratio for the Company significantly exceeds required minimum thresholds as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
(18)    Direct Premiums Written by Third-Party Administrators
The Company has direct premiums written by third-party administrators (TPAs). The types of business written by the TPAs include life, accidental death and dismemberment, medical, disability, excess risk, short-term disability, and LTC. The authority granted to the TPAs includes claims payment, claims adjustment, reinsurance ceding, underwriting, and premium collection. Total premiums written by TPAs were $116, $99, and $58 for 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Each share of Class A preferred stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. The Company may redeem any or all of the Class A preferred stock at any time. Dividends will be paid to each class of stock only when declared by the BOD. In the event a dividend is declared, dividends must be paid to holders of Class A preferred stock, Class B preferred stock, and common stock, each in that order.
As discussed in Note 15 to these Statutory Financial Statements, the Company carried out various capital transactions with related parties during 2019, 2018, and 2017.
(20)    Reconciliation to the Annual Statement
The Company is required to file an Annual Statement with the Department. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there is no difference in admitted assets or liabilities between this report and the Annual Statement. As of December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, there is no difference in capital and surplus or net income between this report and the Annual Statement.
(21)    Commitments and Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various pending or threatened legal proceedings on an ongoing basis, arising from the conduct of business, including three putative class action proceedings: Sanchez v. Allianz Life Ins. Co. of North America (Superior Court of California, L.A. County, BC594715), which has not been certified as a class, and Berthiaume et. al. v. Allianz Life Ins. Co. of North America et al (Minnesota District Court, Henn. County, File No. 27-CV-17-15118) which has been certified as a class action. The Company generally intends to vigorously contest the lawsuits, but may pursue settlement negotiations in some cases, if appropriate. The outcome of the cases is uncertain at this time, and there can be no assurance that such litigation, or any future litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company and/or its subsidiaries. The Company recognizes legal costs as incurred.

ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except share data and security holdings quantities)


The Company is contingently liable for possible future assessments under regulatory requirements pertaining to insolvencies and impairments of unaffiliated insurance companies. Provision has been made for assessments currently received and assessments anticipated for known insolvencies.
The financial services industry, variable and fixed annuities, life insurance, distribution companies, and broker-dealers, is subject to close scrutiny by regulators, legislators, and the media.
Federal and state regulators, such as state insurance departments, state securities departments, the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Internal Revenue Service, and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and conduct examinations or investigations concerning various selling practices, including suitability reviews, product exchanges, sales to seniors, and compliance with, among other things, insurance and securities law. The Company is subject to ongoing market conduct examinations and investigations by regulators, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
It can be expected that annuity and life product designs, management, and sales practices will be an ongoing source of regulatory scrutiny and enforcement actions, litigation, and rulemaking.
These matters could result in legal precedents and new industry-wide legislation, rules, and regulations that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including life insurance and annuity companies. It is unclear at this time whether any such litigation or regulatory actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.
Certain guarantees of the Company provide for the maintenance of a subsidiary’s regulatory capital, surplus levels and liquidity sufficient to meet certain obligations. Those unlimited guarantees are made on behalf of certain wholly owned subsidiaries (AZNY, AZMO, ALFS and Questar Capital Corporation, through its parent, Yorktown). These guarantees are not limited and cannot be estimated as of the balance sheet date. From time to time, the Company makes capital contributions to these subsidiaries as needed under the guarantees. Capital contributions made during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 are detailed in Note 15.
The Company had investments in limited partnerships that required a commitment of capital of $217 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
(22)    Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 3, 2020, which is the date the Statutory Financial Statements were available to be issued. No material subsequent events have occurred since December 31, 2019 that require adjustment to the Statutory Financial Statements.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainties have arisen which are likely to negatively impact the Company’s net income and surplus. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, net income, and surplus, as well as our capital and liquidity position, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be estimated, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
In February 2020, the Company legally dissolved AAMO by voluntary action. Prior to dissolution, AAMO paid the Company an insignificant dividend.
In March 2020, the Company paid a cash dividend to AZOA of $750.
In March 2020, the Company provided $25 to AZNY for liquidity purposes under the terms of the line of credit agreement described in Note 15(g).

The Variable Account's assets are the property of Allianz Life and are held for the benefit of the owners and other persons entitled to payments under variable annuity contracts issued through the Variable Account and underwritten by Allianz Life.

OF ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2019




(2) Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded by the Variable Account on the trade date. Investments of the Variable Account are valued each day the markets are open at fair value using net asset values provided by the investment advisers of the funds after the 4 PM Eastern Standard Time market close.
  
The Fair Value Measurement Topic of the FASB ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation techniques to measure fair value.

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Variable Account has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Valuations derived from techniques that utilize observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, such as:
(a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
(b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
(c) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable.
(d) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Valuations derived from techniques in which the significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 fair values reflect the Variable Account’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. As of December 31, 2019, all of the Variable Account’s investments are in funds for which quoted prices are available in an active market which the Variable Account has the ability to access. Therefore, all investments have been categorized as Level 1. The characterization of the underlying securities held by the funds are accounted for on a trade-date basis and are in accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB ASC, which differs from the characterization of an investment in the fund.

Realized gains on investments include realized gain distributions received from the respective funds and gains on the sale of fund shares as determined by the average cost method. Realized gain distributions are reinvested in the respective funds. Dividend distributions received from the funds are reinvested in additional shares of the funds and are recorded as income to the Variable Account on the ex-dividend date.

The cost of investments sold and the corresponding capital gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis. Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments are allocated to the contracts on each valuation date based on each contract's pro rata share of the assets of the fund as of the beginning of the valuation date.

Transfers between subaccounts including the fixed account (net) include transfers of all or part of the contract owners' interest to or from another eligible subaccount from or to the fixed account option of the general account of the Company.

Contracts in Annuity Payment Period

Annuity reserves are computed for currently payable contracts according to the 1983 and 2000 Individual Annuity Mortality Tables using an assumed investment return (AIR) equal to the AIR of the specific contracts, either 3%, 5% or 7%. Charges to annuity reserves for mortality and risk expense are reimbursed to Allianz Life if the reserves required are less than originally estimated. If additional reserves are required, Allianz Life reimburses the Variable Account.

(3) Related Party Charges, Expenses and Fees
Under the terms of the contracts, certain charges, expenses and fees are incurred by the contractholders to cover Allianz Life’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the contracts. Following is a summary of these charges, expenses and fees for the period ended December 31, 2019:

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges
Allianz Life assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Variable Account. These charges range from 0.30% to 3.40% annually during the accumulation phase, or from 1.00% to 2.20% annually during the annuity phase for variable annuity payments. These charges are deducted on a daily basis and assessed against the daily net asset value of each fund. These charges are assessed either through a reduction in subaccount accumulation unit values during the accumulation phase, or a reduction in subaccount annuity unit values during the annuity phase for contractholders that selected variable annuity payments.

Administrative Charges
A charge to cover administrative expenses of the Variable Account may be deducted from the Variable Account, depending on the contract. This annual charge of 0.15% is calculated and assessed daily as a percentage of each fund’s net asset value. This charge is assessed through a reduction in subaccount accumulation unit values during the accumulation phase, or a reduction in subaccount annuity unit values during the annuity phase for contractholders that selected variable annuity payments.

Contract Maintenance Charges
For certain contracts, an annual contract maintenance charge of $30 to $50 may be deducted to cover ongoing administrative expenses. These charges are assessed through the redemption of subaccount accumulation units during the accumulation phase, or a redemption in subaccount annuity unit values during the annuity phase if variable annuity payments are selected or a reduction in fixed annuity payments.

Withdrawal Charges
For certain contracts, a withdrawal charge (sometimes called a contingent deferred sales charge) is imposed as a percentage, with a range of 1.0% to 8.5%, of each purchase payment if the contract is surrendered or a partial withdrawal is taken during the withdrawal charge period. For certain contracts, a commutation fee or withdrawal charge may also apply during the annuity phase if there are liquidations of variable annuity payments under certain annuity options. These commutation and withdrawal charges are imposed as a percentage, with a range of 1.0% to 8.0% of the amount liquidated. These charges are assessed through the redemption of subaccount accumulation units during the accumulation phase, or a redemption in subaccount annuity units during the annuity phase.

Rider Charges
For certain contracts, optional benefit riders are available for an additional charge to the contractholder. The rider charges are imposed as a percentage of the benefit's guaranteed value and are assessed through the redemption of subaccount accumulation units during the accumulation phase. These include:

Investment Protector: 1.05% to 1.35%
Income Protector: 1.00% to 1.75%
Income Focus: 1.30%
Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit: 0.20%
Income Benefit: 0.70%

Transfer Fee
A charge for transfers between funds may be imposed at a rate of up to $25 per transfer. These charges are assessed through the redemption of subaccount units during the accumulation phase.

Other Contract Charges
For certain contracts there are additional fees, as described below.
Account Fee - ranges from 0.80% to 1.15% and are imposed as a percentage of the account’s guaranteed value and are assessed through the redemption of subaccount accumulation units during the accumulation phase.
Product Fee - ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% annually and are accrued on a daily basis as a percentage of the prior quarterly anniversary contract value adjusted for subsequent purchase payments and withdrawals.

* These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average daily net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk and administrative charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.

** These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the Variable Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk and administrative charges, for each period indicated, based on the products available to the contractholders. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contractholder accounts through the redemption of units such as the contract maintenance charges and rider charges for the optional benefits Investment Protector and Income Protector, the account fee for the Income Advantage Account, and expenses of the underlying funds are excluded. Mortality and expense risk and administrative charges for all funds in annuitized contracts are excluded from the expense ratio.

ALLIANZ LIFE VARIABLE ACCOUNT B
OF ALLIANZ LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2019



*** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflect contract expenses of the Variable Account for products held at the time by contractholders. 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. Funds with a date notation, as shown below, indicate the effective date of that fund 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. The total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values. Based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract returns are not within the ranges presented and are not annualized.

**** Units Outstanding excludes units for annuitized contracts. Total Net Assets includes the net assets of the annuitized contracts. Total net assets of annuitized contracts at December 31, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015, are $9,974, $9,248, $9,476, $9,453 and $10,379, respectively.
(7) Subsequent Events
No material subsequent events have occurred since December 31, 2019 through March 25, 2020, the date at which the financial statements were issued, that would require adjustment to the financial statements. In the first half of 2020, sales of the products Allianz Connections and Allianz Vision will be discontinued.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainties have arisen which are likely to negatively impact the Variable Account’s net assets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the net assets will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be estimated, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
