Third quarter 2016 annuity sales of $1.5 billion, down 16% from third quarter 2015
Policyholder funds under management of $44.5 billion, up 1.9% from June 30, 2016
Third quarter 2016 investment spread of 2.57%
Operating income1 return on average equity1 of 6.7% (trailing twelve months); excluding unlocking and assumption revisions, operating income1 return on average equity1 of 11.4% (trailing twelve months)
Estimated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio of 338% (pro forma including $100 million capital contribution on October 3, 2016) compared to 336% at December 31, 2015
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (November 2, 2016) - American Equity Investment Life Holding Company (NYSE: AEL), a leading issuer of fixed index annuities, today reported third quarter 2016 net loss of $7.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $97.3 million, or $1.19 per diluted common share, for third quarter 2015.
Operating loss1 for the third quarter of 2016 was $4.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share, compared to operating income of $45.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted common share, for third quarter 2015.
The third quarter 2016 net loss and operating loss1 were negatively affected by $52.9 million ($0.61 per diluted common share) and $52.6 million ($0.60 per diluted common share), respectively, for revisions to assumptions utilized in the determination of deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and the liability for future benefits to be paid under lifetime income benefit riders. Net income and operating income1 for the third quarter of 2015 were impacted by similar assumption revisions which decreased net income by $1.1 million ($0.01 per diluted common share) and operating income1 by $8.7 million ($0.10 per diluted common share).




In addition, the third quarter 2016 net loss and operating loss1 were increased by $1.3 million after tax or $0.02 per diluted common share for items that were discrete to the quarter. The discrete items included $1.1 million for income tax adjustments related to income earned in 2015 and the first half of 2016 and $0.2 million after tax for the write off of capitalized debt issuance costs associated with the Company's November 2013 revolving line of credit facility which was refinanced and terminated at the end of the third quarter.
POLICYHOLDER FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT UP 1.9% ON $1.5 BILLION OF SALES
Policyholder funds under management at September 30, 2016 were $44.5 billion, an $820 million or 1.9% increase from the end of the second quarter. Third quarter sales were $1.5 billion before coinsurance ceded and $1.1 billion after coinsurance ceded. Gross and net sales for the quarter were down sequentially and compared to the prior year third quarter with decreases ranging between 16% and 35%.
Commenting on sales, John Matovina, Chief Executive Officer and President, said: "Our pace of sales slowed in the quarter but we are still growing invested assets and policyholder funds under management. As we indicated in our second quarter commentary, we expected sales to moderate in the second half of this year following a very strong first six months. Sales by independent agents for American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company (American Equity Life) declined 26% sequentially with FIA sales down 15% and MYGA sales down 88%. Although formal FIA sales data for third quarter 2016 will not likely be released until later this month, our expectation is that the sequential decline in FIA sales by our independent agents was consistent with the overall market experience. MYGA sales by independent agents were 2.6% of total independent agent sales in the third quarter. That mix of FIA and MYGA sales by our independent agents is more in line with our historical experience than the first two quarters of this year."
Commenting on Eagle Life, Matovina added: “Expanding our Eagle Life business has been a key initiative for us which has been reinforced by the Department of Labor (DOL) conflict of interest fiduciary rule that becomes operational next April if not otherwise delayed or overturned through litigation. The rule favors sales of FIAs by broker-dealers and banks and poses significant challenges to sales of FIAs by independent agents. Eagle Life continued to gain traction during the third quarter. It added a new distribution relationship, bringing the total to 52 selling agreements, and began selling through a potentially significant bank relationship. That being said, the market environment in Eagle Life's distribution channels was more competitive in the third quarter and Eagle Life grew its invested assets and policyholder funds under management more slowly than in the second quarter. Sales were down 29% sequentially to $348 million, with FIA sales declining to $153 million from $190 million and MYGA sales declining to $195 million from $300 million."
Matovina continued: "The outlook for FIA sales for the next two quarters remains favorable. However, sales of FIAs by independent agents may come under pressure next year if the DOL rule becomes effective in the second quarter. We are encouraged by several of our NMO partners applying to the DOL to qualify as financial institutions under the Best Interest Contract exemption. However, the timing of approval of financial institution status, if granted, is uncertain as the DOL has not provided guidance on its process for qualification. We intend to continue to support our NMO partners and independent agents. We have filed traditional fixed rate annuity product forms and companion lifetime income benefit riders which we plan to introduce to the market by the beginning of 2017. We believe these products offer safety of principal and guaranteed lifetime income desired by retirement account holders, while qualifying for distribution under the less onerous PTE 84-24 exemption."




SPREAD DECLINES ON LOWER INVESTMENT YIELD; CASH BALANCE DECLINES
American Equity’s investment spread was 2.57% for the third quarter of 2016 compared to 2.62% for the second quarter of 2016 and 2.83% for the third quarter of 2015. On a sequential basis, the average yield on invested assets declined eight basis points while the cost of money declined three basis points..
Average yield on invested assets continued to be unfavorably impacted by the investment of new premiums and portfolio cash flows at rates below the portfolio rate and high cash balances. The average yield on fixed income securities purchased and commercial mortgage loans funded in the third quarter of 2016 was 3.31% compared to 3.95% and 4.14%, respectively, in the second and first quarters of 2016. The average balance for cash and short-term investments was $1.2 billion during the third quarter, compared to $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2016 and $807 million in the first quarter of 2016. The unfavorable impact from the aforementioned items was partially offset by fee income from bond transactions and prepayment income which added four basis points to both third quarter 2016 and second quarter 2016 average yield on invested assets.
The aggregate cost of money for annuity liabilities decreased by three basis points to 1.89% in the third quarter of 2016 compared to 1.92% in the second quarter of 2016. This decrease reflected continued reductions in crediting rates. The benefit from over hedging the obligations for index linked interest was two basis points in the third quarter of 2016 compared to a nominal benefit in the second quarter of 2016.
Commenting on investment spread, John Matovina said: “We saw continued spread compression in the third quarter. Similar to the first two quarters of the year, the decrease in the cost of money from reductions in rates on our policy liabilities was less than the decrease in the average yield on investments that resulted from the investment of new premiums and portfolio cash flows in high quality investments with yields below our portfolio rate and the increase in average cash and short-term investment balances during the quarter."
Turning to the outlook for investment spread, Matovina added: "We expect investment spread in the fourth quarter to benefit from the substantial reinvestment of cash and short-term investments into higher yielding securities. As of September 30, 2016, cash and short-term investment balances had fallen to $652 million from $1.6 billion at the beginning of the quarter and decreased to $308 million by the end of October. On September 1, 2016, we began implementing renewal adjustments covering $16 - $17 billion of policyholder account values that should lower the overall cost of money by eight basis points when fully implemented. On December 6, 2016, we will begin applying renewal adjustments on $7.4 billion of additional policyholder account values. These adjustments will be implemented over the next 12 - 15 months on policy anniversary dates and are expected to reduce the 0.54% cost of money differential between existing rates and the guaranteed minimums we had at September 30, 2016."




EQUITY AND DEBT RAISES SUPPORT CAPITAL ADEQUACY
As previously reported, the Company raised $235 million of capital during the quarter. On August 1st, it physically settled its two equity forward sales agreements and received $134.7 million in net cash proceeds which were contributed to the capital and surplus of American Equity Life. On September 30, the Company entered into a credit agreement providing for a three-year $100 million term loan and a $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in September 2021. The interest rate on the term loan is currently 2.625% (3-month LIBOR plus 1.75%) and the term loan can be prepaid prior to maturity without penalty. Mandatory prepayments of the term loan are required with the net cash proceeds from any capital markets transaction as defined in the credit agreement. The revolving credit facility replaces the four year $140 million facility that was entered into in November 2013 and is available for general corporate purposes, including capital contributions to the Company's operating subsidiaries. No amounts are currently drawn on the revolving credit facility.
Including proceeds from the term loan, which were contributed to capital and surplus of American Equity Life on October 3, 2016, the estimated RBC ratio at September 30, 2016 was 338%.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to net income (loss), the Company has consistently utilized operating income (loss) and operating income (loss) per common share - assuming dilution, non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in the life insurance industry, as economic measures to evaluate its financial performance. Operating income (loss) equals net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of items that fluctuate from quarter to quarter in a manner unrelated to core operations. The most significant adjustments to arrive at operating income (loss) eliminate the impact of fair value accounting for our fixed index annuity business and are not economic in nature but rather impact the timing of reported results. The Company believes measures excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends and the combined presentation and evaluation of operating income (loss) together with net income (loss) provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of its underlying results and profitability.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Average Stockholders' Equity and Return on Average Equity (Unaudited)
Return on average equity measures how efficiently the Company generates profits from the resources provided by its net assets.  Return on average equity is calculated by dividing net income (loss) and operating income (loss) for the trailing twelve months by average equity excluding average accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI").  The Company excludes AOCI because AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments.

The weighted average amount is added to the simple average of (a) stockholders' equity at the beginning of the twelve month period and (b) stockholders' equity at the end of the twelve month period excluding the net proceeds received from the settlement of the two equity forward sales agreements in August 2016.

(a)
Q3 2016 includes a benefit of $2.8 million based upon developments in the claims process associated with a lawsuit settlement, which after related adjustments to amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes, decreased the net loss and loss per common share - assuming dilution by $1.1 million and $0.01 per share, respectively.
(b)
Q3 2016 includes expense from the revision of assumptions used in determining reserves held for living income benefit riders. The impact increased interest sensitive and index product benefits by $42.0 million and increased the net loss and loss per common share - assuming dilution by $27.1 million and $0.31 per share, respectively.
(c)
Q3 2016 includes expense from unlocking which increased amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $17.9 million and $22.1 million, respectively, and increased the net loss and loss per common share- assuming dilution by $25.8 million and $0.30 per share, respectively.
(d)
Q1 2016 includes expense from unlocking which increased amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $17.9 million and $26.1 million, respectively, and increased the net loss and loss per common share- assuming dilution by $28.4 million and $0.35 per share, respectively.
(e)
Q4 2015 includes an adjustment to reserves for living income benefit riders which reduced interest sensitive and index product benefits by $1.9 million, which after related adjustments to amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes, increased net income and earnings per common share-assuming dilution by $0.7 million and $0.01 per share, respectively.

(f)
Q3 2015 includes expense from the revision of assumptions used in determining reserves held for living income benefit riders. The impact increased interest sensitive and index product benefits by $18.3 million and decreased net income and earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $11.8 million and $0.14 per share, respectively.
(g)
Q3 2015 includes a benefit from unlocking which reduced amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $5.6 million and $11.0 million, respectively, and increased net income and earnings per common share- assuming dilution by $10.7 million and $0.13 per share, respectively.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to net income (loss), we have consistently utilized operating income (loss) and operating income (loss) per common share - assuming dilution, non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in the life insurance industry, as economic measures to evaluate our financial performance. Operating income (loss) equals net income (loss) adjusted to eliminate the impact of items that fluctuate from quarter to quarter in a manner unrelated to core operations, and we believe measures excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends. The most significant adjustments to arrive at operating income (loss) eliminate the impact of fair value accounting for our fixed index annuity business and are not economic in nature but rather impact the timing of reported results. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of operating income (loss) together with net income (loss) provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our underlying results and profitability.

(a)
Adjustments to net income (loss) to arrive at operating income (loss) are presented net of related adjustments to amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs where applicable.
(b)
Q3 2016 includes expense from unlocking which increased amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $18.1 million and $21.5 million, respectively, and increased the operating loss and operating loss per common share- assuming dilution by $25.5 million and $0.29 per share, respectively.
(c)
Q3 2016 includes expense from the revision of assumptions used in determining reserves held for living income benefit riders. The impact increased interest sensitive and index product benefits by $42.0 million and increased the operating loss and operating loss per common share - assuming dilution by $27.1 million and $0.31 per share, respectively.
(d)
Q1 2016 includes expense from unlocking which increased amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $18.1 million and $26.3 million, respectively, and decreased operating income and operating income per common share- assuming dilution by $28.6 million and $0.35 per share, respectively.
(e)
Q4 2015 includes an adjustment to reserves for living income benefit riders which reduced interest sensitive and index product benefits by $1.9 million, which after related adjustments to amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes, increased operating income and operating income per common share-assuming dilution by $0.5 million and $0.01 per share, respectively.
(f)
Q3 2015 includes a benefit from unlocking which reduced amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $0.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively, and increased operating income and operating income per common share- assuming dilution by $3.1 million and $0.04 per share, respectively.
(g)
Q3 2015 includes expense from the revision of assumptions used in determining reserves held for living income benefit riders. The impact increased interest sensitive and index product benefits by $18.3 million and decreased operating income and operating income per common share - assuming dilution by $11.8 million and $0.14 per share, respectively.

(a)
Total capitalization, total stockholders’ equity and book value per share excluding AOCI, non-GAAP financial measures, are based on stockholders’ equity excluding the effect of AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information.
(b)
Common shares outstanding include shares held by the NMO Deferred Compensation Trust: 2016 - 15,058 shares; 2015 - 230,012 shares
(c)
Book value per share including and excluding AOCI is calculated as total stockholders’ equity and total stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.
(d)
Debt-to-capital ratios are computed using total capitalization excluding AOCI. Adjusted debt includes notes payable and the portion of the total subordinated debentures payable to subsidiary trusts outstanding (qualifying trust preferred securities) that exceeds 15% of total capitalization excluding AOCI.

The minimum guaranteed interest rate for the fixed rate or the fixed rate strategy is 1.00%. The ultimate guaranteed rate is applied on less than 100% of the premium.
If all crediting rates were reduced to minimum guaranteed rates (subject to limitations imposed by ultimate minimum guaranteed rates where applicable) the weighted average crediting rate as of September 30, 2016 for fixed annuities and funds allocated to the fixed rate strategy for fixed index annuities would decrease by 0.32%.
