RICHMOND, Va., —
Genworth Financial, Inc. (NYSE: GNW) today reported results for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The company reported net income2 of $353 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2017, compared with a net loss of $122 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2016. The adjusted operating income3 for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $326 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared with an adjusted operating loss of $137 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Strategic Update
Genworth and China Oceanwide Holdings Group Co., Ltd. (Oceanwide) continue to work towards closing their previously announced proposed transaction as soon as possible.
Genworth and Oceanwide have re-filed their joint voluntary notice with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). In connection with the new joint voluntary notice, the parties have provided CFIUS with detailed information about an additional data security risk mitigation proposal involving a U.S. third-party service provider. The acceptance of the refiling of a joint voluntary notice by CFIUS triggers a new 30-day review period, which may be followed by an additional 45-day investigation period. Additional information about the CFIUS review process can be found in the definitive proxy statement filed by Genworth with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 25, 2017.
The parties also continue to engage with the Delaware Department of Insurance (Delaware). The delay in the review process is due to the difference in opinion of the fair market value for Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company (GLAIC), which must be agreed upon in order to complete the unstacking transaction. The parties continue to work towards an acceptable solution in order to move forward in the transaction approval process.
In addition to clearance by CFIUS and approval from Delaware, the closing of the proposed transaction remains subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals in the U.S., China, and other international jurisdictions and other closing conditions. Genworth and Oceanwide continue to be actively engaged with the relevant regulators regarding the pending applications.
Due to the delay in obtaining regulatory approvals and the closing of the proposed transaction, Genworth has decided to pursue a secured debt transaction in order to address its upcoming 2018 debt maturity. More details with respect to the terms and structure of the secured debt transaction will be announced upon the planned launch in the near future.
“Our strong full year and fourth quarter results, as well as the continued progress towards achieving our multi-year LTC rate action plan, demonstrate Genworth’s operational discipline and focus on maximizing long-term value for our stakeholders,” said Tom McInerney, president and CEO of Genworth. “We continue to believe the transaction with Oceanwide represents the greatest and most certain value for our stockholders, and we are pursuing a secured debt transaction to address our 2018 debt obligation, and are continuously evaluating the strategic alternatives we may need to exercise to insulate our U.S. mortgage insurance business from continued ratings pressure.”
LU Zhiqiang, chairman of Oceanwide, added: “Despite the delays in receiving regulatory approvals, Oceanwide continues to work diligently with Genworth towards closing the transaction as soon as possible. We remain committed to the transaction, which would provide Oceanwide with the opportunity to enhance our global insurance expertise and bring better insurance market solutions to China.”
Net income in the fourth quarter of 2017 benefited from net investment gains, net of taxes and other adjustments, of $27 million. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2016 benefited from net investment gains, net of taxes and other adjustments, of $19 million.
Net investment income was $812 million in the quarter, up from $797 million in the prior quarter and $786 million in the prior year. Net investment income continues to reflect variability in prepayment speed adjustments related to residential mortgage-backed securities and other variable investment income that was higher than last year. The reported yield and the core yield1 for the quarter were 4.60 percent and 4.50 percent, respectively.

U.S. MI reported adjusted operating income of $74 million, compared with $73 million in the prior quarter and $61 million in the prior year. The loss ratio in the current quarter was 22 percent, up two points sequentially and down six points from the prior year. Losses in the quarter included approximately $5 million pre-tax for incremental delinquencies related to hurricane impacted areas, which negatively impacted the loss ratio by three points.
Flow New Insurance Written (NIW) of $10.2 billion decreased 10 percent from the prior quarter from a seasonally smaller purchase originations market, and decreased eight percent versus the prior year primarily from a decline in market share. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the company’s concentration of single premium flow NIW was down slightly from the prior quarter and up moderately from the prior year as it continues its selective participation in this market. U.S. MI’s flow insurance in force increased 11 percent versus the prior year driven primarily by strong NIW and persistency.

The loss ratio was down nine points compared to the prior year from a decrease in new delinquencies, net of cures, and lower average reserve per delinquency reflecting the ongoing housing market strength and underlying economic conditions.
Flow NIW was down 20 percent6 sequentially primarily from a seasonally smaller originations market and down 13 percent6 from the prior year primarily from a smaller market size from regulatory changes introduced in late 2016.

Australia MI reported an adjusted operating loss of $125 million versus adjusted operating income of $12 million in the prior quarter and adjusted operating income of $14 million in the prior year. Current period results included an unfavorable $141 million impact from a new premium recognition pattern effective October 1, 2017. The entire U.S. GAAP adjustment was $152 million but a portion was in tax expense in Corporate and Other activities. The annual review of its premium recognition pattern that concluded in the quarter revealed that the duration of time between policy inception and the first missed payment date has lengthened compared to past assumptions, therefore requiring a re-estimation of the unearned premium reserve and a corresponding offset to earned premiums. The longer estimated duration assumptions were driven by two factors: 1) the mining downturn predominantly seen in Western Australia and Queensland and 2) a prolonged period of low interest rates that has resulted in a strong housing market outside of the previously mentioned areas. The new premium recognition pattern was not the result of increased claim or loss expectations but only that the duration of time between policy inception and the first missed payment has lengthened. For U.S. GAAP, the accounting policy requires a retrospective adjustment of the earnings curve and is therefore larger than the impact recorded under Australia accounting standards, which is prospective in application.
The loss ratio in the quarter was negative seven percent. The change in the earnings recognition pattern reduced the loss ratio by 35 points. Excluding the impact from the change in the earnings recognition pattern, the loss ratio was down nine points sequentially from seasonally lower new delinquencies, net of cures, and down two points from the prior year.
Flow NIW was up 14 percent6 sequentially from higher activity with certain customers and down 18 percent6 from the prior year primarily from lower market penetration.

Long Term Care Insurance
Long term care insurance reported adjusted operating income of $17 million, compared with an adjusted operating loss of $5 million in the prior quarter and an adjusted operating loss of $1 million in the prior year.
During the quarter, the company completed its annual review of U.S. GAAP active life margins, or loss recognition testing. As of December 31, 2016, the U.S. GAAP loss recognition testing margins for the LTC business were approximately $1.0 to $1.5 billion. In 2017, these margins were reduced to approximately $0.5 to $1.0 billion as higher costs relating primarily to changes to expected future incidence of claims were partially offset by the higher modeled benefit of planned future in force rate actions. The company continues to separately test its LTC acquired block (representing business written prior to late 1995) for recoverability as part of testing its U.S. GAAP loss recognition margins. The U.S. GAAP loss recognition testing margin for the LTC acquired block was positive and consistent with prior year.
Results for the quarter included an after-tax reduction to claims reserves of $20 million primarily driven by assumption changes related to claims administrative expenses. Compared to the prior quarter and prior year, results reflected less favorable existing claim terminations as well as continued growth of new claims, heightened by lower benefit from ceded claims as an existing reinsurance agreement runs off. Reserve reductions associated with reduced benefit elections related to premium rate increases from in force policyholders remained stable versus prior quarter and $7 million after-tax higher versus prior year.
Life Insurance
Life insurance reported an adjusted operating loss of $85 million, compared with $9 million in the prior quarter and $193 million in the prior year. During the quarter, the company completed its annual review of life insurance assumptions and recorded an after-tax charge of $74 million primarily driven by assumption changes due to emerging mortality experience as well as adjustments from lower forward interest rates. Results in the prior year included an after-tax charge of $196 million related to the company’s annual review of life insurance assumptions. Compared to the prior year, the current quarter reflected higher lapses resulting in lower premiums and accelerated write-off of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) primarily associated with large 15-year and 20-year term life insurance blocks entering their post-level premium periods. Results versus the prior quarter reflect lower seasonal premiums and increased mortality in the company’s term life block of business. The prior quarter included a $15 million after-tax charge for model refinements.
Fixed Annuities
Fixed annuities reported an adjusted operating loss of $1 million, compared with adjusted operating income of $13 million in the prior quarter and adjusted operating income of $40 million in the prior year. Results in the quarter included a net after-tax charge of $30 million from loss recognition testing and assumption updates. The current quarter also reflected favorable mortality and higher variable investment income compared to the prior quarter. Results in the prior quarter included a $6 million after-tax charge from loss recognition testing associated with lower forward interest rates on the single premium immediate annuity block. Results in the prior year included a $6 million after-tax favorable adjustment related to state guaranty funds and a $10 million after-tax favorable impact related to an update of lapse assumptions and other refinements.
Runoff
Runoff reported adjusted operating income of $13 million compared with $13 million in the prior quarter and $6 millionin the prior year, reflecting continued strong equity market performance supporting the company’s variable annuity business.
Corporate And Other
Corporate and Other reported adjusted operating income of $390 million, compared with an adjusted operating loss of $58 million in the prior quarter and an adjusted operating loss of $103 million in the prior year. Results in the current quarter included a net favorable impact of $456 million related to deferred taxes due to the combination of tax reform, business forecast improvements and other items. Results also included an unfavorable $11 million tax charge related to the Australia MI premium earnings pattern update.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures entitled “adjusted operating income (loss)” and “adjusted operating income (loss) per share.” Adjusted operating income (loss) per share is derived from adjusted operating income (loss). The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of adjusted operating income (loss). The company defines adjusted operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Gains (losses) on insurance block transactions are defined as gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of non-recourse funding obligations, early termination fees for other financing restructuring and/or resulting gains (losses) on reinsurance restructuring for certain blocks of business. The company excludes net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because the company does not consider them to be related to the operating performance of the company’s segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of the company’s net investment gains (losses) is the result of impairments, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to the company’s discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions and restructuring costs are also excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) because, in the company’s opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. Infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) if, in the company’s opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends.
While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders in accordance with GAAP, the company believes that adjusted operating income (loss) and measures that are derived from or incorporate adjusted operating income (loss), including adjusted operating income (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Management also uses adjusted operating income (loss) as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. However, the items excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) have occurred in the past and could, and in some cases will, recur in the future. Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) per share on a basic and diluted basis are not substitutes for net income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders or net income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders per share on a basic and diluted basis determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s definition of adjusted operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.
Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders and adjusted operating income (loss) assume a 35 percent tax rate (unless otherwise indicated) and are net of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net investment gains (losses) are also adjusted for deferred acquisition costs (DAC) and other intangible amortization and certain benefit reserves.
In June 2016, the company completed the sale of its term life insurance new business platform and recorded a pre-tax gain of $12 million. In May 2016, the company completed the sale of its mortgage insurance business in Europe and recorded an additional pre-tax loss of $2 million. In the first quarter of 2016, the company recorded an estimated pre-tax loss of $7 million and a tax benefit of $27 million related to the planned sale of the mortgage insurance business in Europe. These transactions were excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) for the periods presented as they related to a gain (loss) on the sale of businesses.
In June 2016, the company settled restricted borrowings of $70 million related to a securitization entity and recorded a $64 million pre-tax gain related to the early extinguishment of debt. In January 2016, the company paid a pre-tax make-whole expense of $20 million related to the early redemption of Genworth Holdings, Inc.’s (Genworth Holdings) 2016 notes. The company also repurchased $28 million principal amount of Genworth Holdings’ notes with various maturity dates for a pre-tax gain of $4 million in the first quarter of 2016. These transactions were excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) for the periods presented as they related to a gain (loss) on the early extinguishment of debt.
In the first quarter of 2016, the company completed a life block transaction resulting in a pre-tax loss of $9 million in connection with the early extinguishment of non-recourse funding obligations.
In the third and first quarters of 2017, the company recorded a pre-tax expense of $1 million related to restructuring costs as part of an expense reduction plan as the company evaluates and appropriately sizes its organizational needs and expenses. In the third, second and first quarters of 2016, the company also recorded a pre-tax expense of $2 million, $5 million and $15 million, respectively, related to restructuring costs.
There were no infrequent or unusual items excluded from adjusted operating income (loss) during the periods presented other than fees incurred during the first quarter of 2016 related to Genworth Holdings’ bond consent solicitation of $18 million for broker, advisor and investment banking fees.
The tables at the end of this press release provide a reconciliation of net income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders to adjusted operating income (loss) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, as well as for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and reflect adjusted operating income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting guidance related to segment reporting.
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure entitled “core yield” as a measure of investment yield. The company defines core yield as the investment yield adjusted for items that do not reflect the underlying performance of the investment portfolio. Management believes that analysis of core yield enhances understanding of the investment yield of the company. However, core yield is not a substitute for investment yield determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s definition of core yield may differ from the definitions used by other companies. A reconciliation of core yield to reported GAAP yield is included in a table at the end of this press release.
Definition of Selected Operating Performance Measures
The company reports selected operating performance measures including “sales” and “insurance in force” or “risk in force” which are commonly used in the insurance industry as measures of operating performance.
Management regularly monitors and reports sales metrics as a measure of volume of new and renewal business generated in a period. Sales refer to: (1) new insurance written for mortgage insurance; (2) annualized first-year premiums for long term care and term life insurance products; (3) annualized first-year deposits plus five percent of excess deposits for universal and term universal life insurance products; (4) 10 percent of premium deposits for linked-benefits products; and (5) new and additional premiums/deposits for fixed annuities. Sales do not include renewal premiums on policies or contracts written during prior periods. The company considers new insurance written, annualized first-year premiums/deposits, premium equivalents and new premiums/deposits to be a measure of the company’s operating performance because they represent a measure of new sales of insurance policies or contracts during a specified period, rather than a measure of the company’s revenues or profitability during that period.
Management also regularly monitors and reports a loss ratio for the company’s businesses. For the mortgage insurance businesses, the loss ratio is the ratio of benefits and other changes in policy reserves to net earned premiums. For the long term care insurance business, the loss ratio is the ratio of benefits and other changes in reserves less tabular interest on reserves less loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The company considers the loss ratio to be a measure of underwriting performance in these businesses and helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of the businesses.
An assumed tax rate of 35 percent is utilized in certain adjustments to adjusted operating income (loss) and in the explanation of specific variances of operating performance and investment results.
These operating performance measures enable the company to compare its operating performance across periods without regard to revenues or profitability related to policies or contracts sold in prior periods or from investments or other sources.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will” or words of similar meaning and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the outlook for the company’s future business and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions, which are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially due to global political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors and risks, including, but not limited to, the following:
The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

2 Unless otherwise stated, all references in this press release to net income (loss), net income (loss) per share, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating income (loss) per share and book value per share should be read as net income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders, net income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders per diluted share, adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders, adjusted operating income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders per diluted share and book value available to Genworth’s common stockholders per share, respectively.
3 This is a financial measure that is not calculated based on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Non-GAAP). See the Use of Non-GAAP Measures section of this press release for additional information.
4 The company defines “NM” as not meaningful for increases or decreases greater than 200 percent.
5 Under applicable accounting guidance, companies in a loss position are required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share. Therefore, as a result of the loss from continuing operations, the company was required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share as the inclusion of shares for stock options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights of 2.5 million and 2.0 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2016, respectively, would have been antidilutive to the calculation. If the company had not incurred a loss from continuing operations in these periods, dilutive potential weighted-average common shares outstanding would have been 500.9 million and 500.3 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2016, respectively.
6 Percent change excludes the impact of foreign exchange.
7 Company estimate for the fourth quarter of 2017, due to timing of the filing of statutory statements. The MCT Ratio for Canada MI in the fourth and third quarters of 2017 reflects the new regulatory framework effective January 1, 2017.
8 Calculated as available assets divided by required assets as defined within PMIERs. As of December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the PMIERs sufficiency ratios were in excess of approximately $550 million, $500 million and $350 million, respectively, of available assets above the PMIERs requirements. Company estimate for the fourth quarter of 2017.
9 U.S. life insurance companies’ statutory results are expected to be made available at the time of the Form 10-K filing.
10 Holding company cash and liquid assets comprises assets held in Genworth Holdings, Inc. (the issuer of outstanding public debt) which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genworth Financial, Inc.
11 Comprises cash and cash equivalents of $795 million, $754 million and $998 million, respectively, and U.S. government bonds of $75 million, $75 million and $100 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
12 For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the three months ended September 30, 2017, net investment gains (losses) were adjusted for DAC and other intangible amortization and certain benefit reserves of $(3) million, $1 million, $(3) million, $(14) million and zero, respectively, and adjusted for net investment gains (losses) attributable to non-controlling interests of $7 million, $12 million, $66 million, $20 million and $23 million, respectively.
13 All percentages are comparing the fourth quarter of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2016 unless otherwise stated.
14 The impact of foreign exchange was calculated using the comparable prior period exchange rates.
15 Represents the incremental assets and investment income related to restricted commercial mortgage loans and other invested assets.
16 Includes cost basis adjustments on structured securities and various other immaterial items.
