About
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes is a meaningful measure used by management to evaluate our business and segment performance. We use the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes as we do for the directly comparable
- Net investment gains (losses), which are significantly influenced by economic and market conditions, including interest rates and credit spreads, and are not indicative of normal operations;
- Income (loss) related to businesses exited or to be exited through reinsurance or divestment;
- Income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests to which we are not economically entitled;
- Dividend payments made to preferred shareholders are included as reductions to reflect the Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes that are available to common shareholders;
-
Other adjustments include items which are not indicative of normal operations, performance of our segments, current Operating expense fundamentals, or do not reflect cash-settled expenses. These items vary widely in timing, scope and frequency between periods as well as among companies to which we are compared. Accordingly, we adjust for these items as we believe that these items distort the ability to make a meaningful evaluation of the current and future performance of our segments. These may include:
- Income (loss) related to early extinguishment of debt;
- Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets;
- Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets as well as contingent consideration fair value adjustments;
- Expected return on plan assets net of interest costs associated with our qualified defined benefit pension plan and immediate recognition of net actuarial gains (losses) related to all of our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and gains (losses) from plan amendments and curtailments; and
- Other items such as capital or organizational restructurings, acquisition / merger integration expenses, severance and other third-party expenses associated with such activities, and expenses attributable to vacant real estate.
Sources of Earnings
We analyze our segment performance based on the sources of earnings. We believe that this supplemental information is useful because we use it to analyze our business and it can help investors understand the main drivers of Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes. The sources of earnings are defined as such:
- Investment spread and other investment income.
- Fee-based margin.
- Net underwriting gain (loss).
- Administrative expenses.
- Net commissions.
- DAC/VOBA and other intangibles amortization.
Net Revenue and Adjusted Operating Margin
- Adjusted operating margin is defined as Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes divided by net revenue.
- Net revenue is the sum of investment spread and other investment income, fee-based margin, and net underwriting gain (loss).
- We also report net revenue and adjusted operating margin excluding notable items, such as alternative investment income above or below our long-term expectations.
- We report net revenue and adjusted operating margin excluding notable items since they provide the main drivers for Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes excluding the effects of items that are not expected to recur at the same level.
