MetLife Announces Second Quarter 2014 Results


NEW YORK --(Business Wire)--

MetLife, Inc. (NYSE:MET) today reported the following results for the second quarter of 2014:

MetLife reported operating earnings* of $1.6 billion, unchanged from the second quarter of 2013. On a per share basis, operating earnings were $1.39, down 3 percent over the prior year quarter. Operating earnings in the Americas grew 5 percent. Operating earnings in Asia decreased 3 percent on a reported basis and were down 1 percent on a constant currency basis. Operating earnings in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) increased 37 percent on a reported basis and were up 41 percent on a constant currency basis.

Second quarter 2014 operating earnings included the following items:

  • a reserve adjustment related to disability premium waivers in retail life, which increased operating earnings by $56 million or $0.05 per share, after tax
  • unfavorable catastrophe loss experience, partially offset by favorable prior year development, which decreased operating earnings by $21 million or $0.02 per share, after tax
  • variable investment income above the company's 2014 quarterly plan range by $11 million, or $0.01 per share, after tax and the impact of deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC)

On a GAAP basis, MetLife reported second quarter 2014 net income of $1.3 billion, or $1.17 per share. Net income includes $202 million, after tax, in net derivative gains, reflecting a decline in interest rates. MetLife uses derivatives as part of its broader asset-liability management strategy to hedge certain risks, such as movements in interest rates and foreign currencies. This hedging activity often generates derivative gains or losses and creates fluctuations in net income because the risk being hedged may not have the same GAAP accounting treatment. Other notable items that explain the difference between net income and operating earnings in the second quarter include charges associated with asymmetrical GAAP accounting treatment, net investment losses and costs related to certain variable annuity guarantees.

Premiums, fees & other revenues* were $12.7 billion, up 6 percent (8 percent on a constant currency basis) over the second quarter of 2013.

Book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI)*, was $50.14 per share, up from $47.20 in the second quarter of 2013.

"MetLife's second quarter results demonstrated the benefit of our diverse business mix, as strong investment margins and favorable market performance helped offset unfavorable underwriting results," said Steven A. Kandarian, chairman, president and chief executive officer of MetLife, Inc. "We continue to carefully manage expenses and execute on our strategy to maximize shareholder value."

*Information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures included in this news release and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Disclosures discussion below, as well as in the tables that accompany this release and/or the Second Quarter 2014 Financial Supplement (which is available on the MetLife Investor Relations Web page at www.metlife.com).

BUSINESS DISCUSSIONS

All comparisons of the results for the second quarter 2014 in the business discussions that follow are with the second quarter of 2013, unless otherwise noted. All comparisons on a constant currency basis are calculated using the average foreign currency exchange rates for the current period and are applied to the prior period.

THE AMERICAS

Total operating earnings for the Americas were $1.4 billion, up 5 percent, driven by Latin America, Retail and Corporate Benefit Funding. Premiums, fees & other revenues were $9.6 billion, up 10 percent, and excluding pension closeouts, up 9 percent.

Retail

Operating earnings for Retail were $652 million, up 12 percent primarily due to favorable market performance and the benefit from the previously mentioned retail life reserve adjustment, partially offset by unfavorable underwriting results. Premiums, fees & other revenues were $3.3 billion, up 8 percent due to separate account growth and higher income annuity sales.

Group, Voluntary & Worksite Benefits

Operating earnings for Group, Voluntary & Worksite Benefits were $205 million, down 25 percent due to unfavorable underwriting results in non-medical health. Premiums, fees & other revenues were $4.3 billion, up 6 percent reflecting business growth and experience adjustments on participating group life business.

Corporate Benefit Funding

Operating earnings for Corporate Benefit Funding were $374 million, up 8 percent due to higher interest margins as well as favorable expense margins. Premiums, fees & other revenues were $816 million, up 29 percent due to increased structured settlements and pension closeouts.

Latin America

Operating earnings for Latin America were $160 million, up 28 percent on a reported basis and 40 percent on a constant currency basis, reflecting the ProVida acquisition. Operating earnings were down 10 percent on a constant currency basis excluding ProVida, due to certain one-time items and unfavorable underwriting. Premiums, fees & other revenues were $1.1 billion, up 16 percent on a reported basis, and up 27 percent on a constant currency basis. Premiums, fees & other revenues were up 18 percent on a constant currency basis excluding ProVida.

ASIA

Operating earnings for Asia were $319 million, down 3 percent on a reported basis. Adjusting for changes in foreign currencies, primarily the Japanese Yen, operating earnings were down 1 percent, as strong growth elsewhere in Asia was offset by expected lower surrender fee income from certain foreign currency fixed annuity products in Japan. Premiums, fees & other revenues were $2.3 billion, down 5 percent on a reported basis, and down 2 percent on a constant currency basis, also due to expected lower surrender fee revenues in Japan. Total sales for the region decreased 12 percent as planned product actions in Japan were implemented. This impact more than offset strong sales growth in China and Korea.

EMEA

Operating earnings for EMEA were $93 million, up 37 percent on a reported basis, and 41 percent on a constant currency basis aided by one-time items including $7 million in tax-related items in the quarter. Operating earnings for the second quarter of 2013 were negatively impacted by $4 million from two large and primarily offsetting items. Premiums, fees & other revenues were $712 million, up 3 percent on a reported basis and up 1 percent on a constant currency basis. Total sales for the region increased 3 percent, with emerging markets up 10 percent, driven by growth in Poland and Turkey.

INVESTMENTS

Net investment income was unchanged at $5.1 billion. Variable investment income was $342 million ($221 million, after tax and DAC), compared with $312 million ($202 million, after tax and DAC) in the second quarter of 2013.

Declines in interest rates during the quarter are reflected in derivative net gains of $71 million, after tax and other adjustments. Derivative net losses in the second quarter of 2013 were $1.1 billion, after tax and other adjustments.

CORPORATE & OTHER

Corporate & Other had an operating loss of $213 million compared with an operating loss of $140 million in the second quarter of 2013, due to expenses related to company initiatives and regulatory compliance as well as a charge related to the timing of certain tax credits.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Disclosures

Any references in this news release (except in this section and in the tables that accompany this release) to net income (loss), net income (loss) per share, operating earnings, operating earnings per share, book value per share, book value per share, excluding AOCI, premiums, fees and other revenues, and operating return on equity, should be read as net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.'s common shareholders, net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.'s common shareholders per diluted common share, operating earnings available to common shareholders, operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share, book value per common share, book value per common share, excluding AOCI, premiums, fees and other revenues (operating), and operating return on MetLife, Inc.'s common equity, excluding AOCI, respectively.

Operating earnings is the measure of segment profit or loss that MetLife uses to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) accounting guidance for segment reporting, operating earnings is MetLife's measure of segment performance. Operating earnings is also a measure by which MetLife senior management's and many other employees' performance is evaluated for the purposes of determining their compensation under applicable compensation plans.

Operating earnings is defined as operating revenues less operating expenses, both net of income tax. Operating earnings available to common shareholders is defined as operating earnings less preferred stock dividends.

Operating revenues and operating expenses exclude results of discontinued operations and other businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife. Operating revenues also excludes net investment gains (losses) (NIGL) and net derivative gains (losses) (NDGL). Operating expenses also excludes goodwill impairments.

The following additional adjustments are made to GAAP revenues, in the line items indicated, in calculating operating revenues:

    Universal life and investment-type product policy fees excludes the amortization of unearned revenue related to NIGL and NDGL and certain variable annuity guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB) fees (GMIB fees);
Net investment income: (i) includes amounts for scheduled periodic settlement payments and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of investments or that are used to replicate certain investments but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, (ii) includes income from discontinued real estate operations, (iii) excludes post-tax operating earnings adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, (iv) excludes certain amounts related to contractholder-directed unit-linked investments, and (v) excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are variable interest entities (VIEs) consolidated under GAAP; and
Other revenues are adjusted for settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges.

The following additional adjustments are made to GAAP expenses, in the line items indicated, in calculating operating expenses:

    Policyholder benefits and claims and policyholder dividends excludes: (i) changes in the policyholder dividend obligation related to NIGL and NDGL, (ii) inflation-indexed benefit adjustments associated with contracts backed by inflation-indexed investments and amounts associated with periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets and other pass through adjustments, (iii) benefits and hedging costs related to GMIBs (GMIB costs), and (iv) market value adjustments associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts (Market value adjustments);
Interest credited to policyholder account balances includes adjustments for scheduled periodic settlement payments and amortization of premium on derivatives that are hedges of policyholder account balances but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and excludes amounts related to net investment income earned on contractholder-directed unit-linked investments;
Amortization of DAC and value of business acquired (VOBA) excludes amounts related to: (i) NIGL and NDGL, (ii) GMIB fees and GMIB costs and (iii) Market value adjustments;
Amortization of negative VOBA excludes amounts related to Market value adjustments;
Interest expense on debt excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP; and
Other expenses excludes costs related to: (i) noncontrolling interests, (ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements, and (iii) acquisition and integration costs.

Operating earnings also excludes the recognition of certain contingent assets and liabilities that could not be recognized at acquisition or adjusted for during the measurement period under GAAP business combination accounting guidance.

MetLife believes the presentation of operating earnings and operating earnings available to common shareholders as MetLife measures it for management purposes enhances the understanding of the company's performance by highlighting the results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of the business. Operating revenues, operating expenses, operating earnings, operating earnings available to common shareholders, operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share, book value per common share, excluding AOCI, book value per diluted common share, excluding AOCI, operating return on MetLife, Inc.'s common equity, operating return on MetLife, Inc.'s common equity, excluding AOCI, investment portfolio gains (losses) and derivative gains (losses) should not be viewed as substitutes for the following financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP: GAAP revenues, GAAP expenses, income (loss) from continuing operations, net of income tax, net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.'s common shareholders, net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.'s common shareholders per diluted common share, book value per common share, book value per diluted common share, return on MetLife, Inc.'s common equity, return on MetLife, Inc.'s common equity, excluding AOCI, net investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses), respectively. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the Second Quarter 2014 Financial Supplement and/or in the tables that accompany this earnings news release.

Operating return on MetLife, Inc.'s common equity is defined as operating earnings available to common shareholders divided by average GAAP common equity.

Operating expense ratio is calculated by dividing operating expenses (other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC) by operating premiums, fees and other revenues.

Statistical sales information for life insurance is calculated by MetLife using the LIMRA definition of sales for core direct sales, excluding company sponsored internal exchanges, corporate-owned life insurance, bank-owned life insurance, and private placement variable universal life insurance. Individual annuities sales consists of statutory premiums direct and assumed, excluding company sponsored internal exchanges.
