Consolidated net premiums totaled $2.3 billion this quarter, up 8 percent from last year's third quarter. Current-period premiums reflected net adverse foreign currency effects of approximately $21.0 million. Excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, investment income rose 10 percent over year-ago levels, attributable to an increase in average invested assets of approximately 15 percent, offset in part by the impact of lower yield on new money and reinvested assets. The average investment yield, excluding spread businesses, was down 23 basis points to 4.43 percent from the third quarter of 2015, and 28 basis points lower than the second-quarter yield.

The effective tax rate was approximately 31 percent on both net income and operating income this quarter, below an expected range of 34 percent to 35 percent, largely due to the effective settlement of uncertain tax positions during the quarter that totaled $5.0 million, or $0.08 per share.

Greig Woodring, chief executive officer, commented, "This was another good quarter, and we are pleased that we have been able to continue delivering strong bottom-line results and solid overall momentum, despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties. It was another quarter in which diversified earnings sources, inherent in our global operating model, were key to a positive result.

"Highlights of the quarter included continued strong results from our Traditional business in Asia and Global Financial Solutions lines in the U.S. and EMEA. These areas more than offset normal claims volatility in our U.S. Individual Mortality business and seasonal weakness in Australia. Overall top-line premium growth was fairly vibrant again at 8 percent, or 9 percent in constant currencies, based upon solid organic growth and in-force transactions.

"We were less active in the quarter in terms of our share repurchases, buying back 4,700 shares as we continue to position ourselves to pursue a balanced approach to capital management over time. We closed some smaller in-force transactions during the quarter, and there continues to be an active pipeline of opportunities. Our deployable excess capital position was approximately $1.0 billion at September 30, and our ending book value per share this quarter was $124.50 including AOCI. Excluding AOCI, book value per share was $90.04, an 11 percent increase over that of a year ago.

"Looking forward, we continue to see good demand from clients for our risk mitigation solutions, and we expect to continue to execute well in both our traditional and transactional businesses."

SEGMENT RESULTS

U.S. and Latin America

Traditional

The U.S. and Latin America Traditional segment reported pre-tax net income of $77.1 million, compared with $55.7 million in the third quarter of 2015. Pre-tax operating income totaled $80.5 million for the quarter, compared with $54.7 million in last year's third quarter. Results for the current quarter reflect moderately unfavorable claims experience in the Individual Mortality business, offset in part by favorable experience in the Group and Individual Health business lines. Results in the year-ago quarter reflected unusually poor individual mortality experience.

Traditional net premiums increased a healthy 11 percent from last year's third quarter to $1,277.5 million.

Non-Traditional

The Asset-Intensive business reported pre-tax net income of $88.7 million compared with $24.2 million last year. Third-quarter pre-tax operating income totaled $58.7 million compared with $55.2 million last year. Both periods' operating income was strong due to favorable investment spreads, and the addition of new blocks.

The Financial Reinsurance business reported pre-tax net income and pre-tax operating income of $14.0 million, up from $12.1 million the year before, due to new business added in 2016.

Canada

Traditional

The Canada Traditional segment reported pre-tax net income of $34.3 million compared with $34.1 million the year before. Pre-tax operating income totaled $30.6 million compared with $37.8 million in the third quarter of 2015. Current-quarter results were in line with expectations, whereas last year's quarter had better-than-expected claims experience.

Reported net premiums increased 16 percent to $231.2 million, attributable to strong growth in the creditor business and solid growth in individual mortality.

Non-Traditional

The Canada Non-Traditional business segment, which consists of longevity and fee-based transactions, reported pre-tax net income and pre-tax operating income declined to $1.2 million from $3.3 million a year ago, reflecting less-favorable longevity experience.

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)

Traditional

The EMEA Traditional segment reported pre-tax net income of $8.5 million versus $15.9 million in last year's third quarter. Pre-tax operating income totaled $8.5 million, down from $15.6 million in the prior-year period. Current-period results included unfavorable claims experience in the U.K., while last year's third quarter had favorable overall claims experience.

Reported net premiums decreased slightly to $275.5 million from $276.1 million in the prior-year period. Foreign currency exchange rates adversely affected net premiums by $32.6 million.

Non-Traditional

The EMEA Non-Traditional business segment includes longevity, asset-intensive and fee-based transactions. Pre-tax net income totaled $43.8 million compared with $29.2 million in the year-ago period. Pre-tax operating income increased to $33.9 million compared with $28.8 million the year before. Current-period results reflected continued favorable experience in both the asset-intensive and longevity businesses. Net foreign currency fluctuations adversely affected pre-tax net income by $6.2 million and pre-tax operating income by $4.7 million.

Asia Pacific

Traditional

The Asia Pacific Traditional segment reported pre-tax net income of $19.8 million, up from $11.3 million in the prior-year period. Pre-tax operating income totaled $19.8 million compared with $13.0 million a year ago. Underwriting experience was favorable across Asia with particularly strong results in Hong Kong, but was somewhat offset by seasonally high claims in Australia.

Reported net premiums rose modestly to $404.5 million from $400.3 million in the prior-year period, reflecting large offsetting variances in Australia and Asia. Australia premiums were down 20 percent, or 24 percent on a constant currency basis, due to the non-renewal of certain treaties and various premium refunds. Asia premiums were up 17 percent, or 11 percent in constant currency, reflecting healthy growth across the region.

Non-Traditional

The Asia Pacific Non-Traditional business segment includes asset-intensive, fee-based and other various transactions. Pre-tax net income totaled $7.5 million compared with pre-tax income of $5.4 million last year. Pre-tax operating income decreased to $2.3 million from $6.3 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to unfavorable results on one treaty that is running off. Net foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a favorable effect of $0.9 million on pre-tax net income and $0.5 million on pre-tax operating income.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment's pre-tax net losses totaled $7.3 million compared with a pre-tax net loss of $50.9 million the year before. Pre-tax operating losses were $19.0 million, versus the year-ago pre-tax loss of $19.7 million, in line with expectations.

Dividend Declaration

The board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.41, payable November 29 to shareholders of record as of November 8.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called operating income as a basis for analyzing financial results. This measure also serves as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under RGA's management incentive programs. Management believes that operating income, on a pre-tax and after-tax basis, better measures the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the Company's continuing operations, primarily because that measure excludes substantially all of the effect of net investment related gains and losses, as well as changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives and related deferred acquisition costs. These items can be volatile, primarily due to the credit market and interest rate environment, and are not necessarily indicative of the performance of the Company's underlying businesses. Additionally, operating income excludes any net gain or loss from discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, and other items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations. The definition of operating income can vary by company and is not considered a substitute for GAAP net income.

Reconciliations to GAAP net income are provided in the following tables. Additional financial information can be found in the Quarterly Financial Supplement on RGA's Investor Relations website at www.rgare.com in the "Quarterly Results" tab and in the "Featured Report" section.

Book value per share excluding the impact of AOCI is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is important in evaluating the balance sheet in order to ignore the effects of unrealized amounts primarily associated with mark-to-market adjustments on investments and foreign currency translation.

Operating income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Operating return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by average shareholders' equity excluding AOCI.
