Key Points
- Reinsurance Group of America Inc (RGA) reported strong adjusted operating earnings of $5.66 per share, with a 15% adjusted operating return on equity, indicating a robust start to the year.
- The company experienced favorable claims experience across all geographic regions, contributing significantly to the positive financial results.
- RGA's Creation Re strategy has led to substantial growth in Asia, with new business embedded value per transaction tripling since 2021.
- The company successfully deployed $418 million in capital for in-force transactions, including strategic deals in Asia and a significant transaction with Equitable expected to close midyear.
- RGA maintains a strong capital position with $1.9 billion in excess capital and $1.3 billion in deployable capital, supporting future growth opportunities.
- Variable investment income was below expectations by approximately $30 million, primarily due to lower mark-to-market adjustments on limited partnerships and timing of real estate joint venture sales.
- The US Financial Solutions segment performed at the low end of expectations due to lower variable investment income.
- The Corporate and Other segments reported an adjusted operating loss before tax of $70 million, driven by lower-than-expected variable investment income and other smaller onetime items.
- The US PRT market has been less vibrant recently, reflecting market uncertainty and resulting in reduced activity at the upper end of the market.
- Canada's traditional results were impacted by modestly unfavorable lapse experience, although partially offset by favorable claims experience.
