Investments | 3. Investments Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities Fixed maturities include bonds, ABS, redeemable preferred stock and certain non-redeemable preferred securities. Equity securities include mutual funds, common stock, non-redeemable preferred stock and required regulatory investments. We classify fixed maturities as either available-for-sale or trading at the time of the purchase and, accordingly, carry them at fair value. Equity securities are also carried at fair value. See Note 10, Fair Value Measurements, for methodologies related to the determination of fair value. Unrealized gains and losses related to fixed maturities, available-for-sale, excluding those in fair value hedging relationships, are reflected in stockholders’ equity, net of adjustments associated with DAC and related actuarial balances, derivatives in cash flow hedge relationships and applicable income taxes. Mark-to-market adjustments on certain equity securities and mark-to-market adjustments on certain fixed maturities, trading are reflected in net realized capital gains (losses). Unrealized gains and losses related to hedged portions of fixed maturities, available-for-sale in fair value hedging relationships are reflected in net investment income. Mark-to-market adjustments related to certain securities carried at fair value with an investment objective to realize economic value through mark-to-market changes are reflected in net investment income. The amortized cost of fixed maturities includes cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts, computed using the interest method. The amortized cost of fixed maturities, available-for-sale is adjusted for changes in fair value of the hedged portions of securities in fair value hedging relationships and excludes accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable is reported in accrued investment income on the consolidated statements of financial position. Fixed maturities, available-for-sale are subject to an allowance for credit loss and changes in the allowance are reported in net income as a component of net realized capital gains (losses). Interest income, as well as prepayment fees and the amortization of the related premium or discount, is reported in net investment income. For loan-backed and structured securities, we recognize income using a constant effective yield based on currently anticipated cash flows. The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, allowance for credit loss and fair value of fixed maturities, available-for-sale were as follows: Gross Gross Allowance Amortized unrealized unrealized for credit cost (1) gains losses loss Fair value (in millions) March 31, 2022 Fixed maturities, available-for-sale: U.S. government and agencies $ 1,933.7 $ 12.8 $ 76.7 $ — $ 1,869.8 Non-U.S. governments 836.4 79.1 13.8 — 901.7 States and political subdivisions 8,191.6 309.0 266.5 — 8,234.1 Corporate 42,197.1 1,511.5 1,276.8 20.0 42,411.8 Residential mortgage-backed pass-through securities 1,978.3 10.0 82.9 — 1,905.4 Commercial mortgage-backed securities 5,625.1 15.0 216.6 0.3 5,423.2 Collateralized debt obligations (2) 3,919.3 2.9 33.6 — 3,888.6 Other debt obligations 7,033.1 30.5 284.5 0.1 6,779.0 Total fixed maturities, available-for-sale $ 71,714.6 $ 1,970.8 $ 2,251.4 $ 20.4 $ 71,413.6 Gross Gross Allowance Amortized unrealized unrealized for credit cost (1) gains losses loss Fair value (in millions) December 31, 2021 Fixed maturities, available-for-sale: U.S. government and agencies $ 1,978.0 $ 148.0 $ 37.4 $ — $ 2,088.6 Non-U.S. governments 851.0 133.1 2.1 — 982.0 States and political subdivisions 8,290.7 1,030.3 16.6 — 9,304.4 Corporate 42,139.2 4,044.8 224.5 15.1 45,944.4 Residential mortgage-backed pass-through securities 3,122.3 59.0 28.4 — 3,152.9 Commercial mortgage-backed securities 5,436.2 157.8 31.5 0.3 5,562.2 Collateralized debt obligations (2) 3,564.7 4.5 9.6 — 3,559.6 Other debt obligations 7,487.8 131.1 58.4 0.1 7,560.4 Total fixed maturities, available-for-sale $ 72,869.9 $ 5,708.6 $ 408.5 $ 15.5 $ 78,154.5 (1) Amortized cost excludes accrued interest receivable of $573.5 million and $542.6 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturities, available-for-sale as of March 31, 2022, by expected maturity, were as follows: Amortized cost Fair value (in millions) Due in one year or less $ 2,038.9 $ 2,044.2 Due after one year through five years 10,029.8 10,028.3 Due after five years through ten years 14,248.3 14,240.9 Due after ten years 26,841.8 27,104.0 Subtotal 53,158.8 53,417.4 Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities 18,555.8 17,996.2 Total $ 71,714.6 $ 71,413.6 Actual maturities may differ because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Our portfolio is diversified by industry, issuer and asset class. Credit concentrations are managed to established limits. Net Realized Capital Gains and Losses Net realized capital gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of specific identification. In general, in addition to realized capital gains and losses on investment sales and periodic settlements on derivatives not designated as hedges, we report gains and losses related to the following in net realized capital gains (losses) on the consolidated statements of operations: mark-to-market adjustments on certain equity securities, mark-to-market adjustments on certain fixed maturities, trading, mark-to-market adjustments on sponsored investment funds, mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives not designated as hedges, cash flow hedge gains (losses) when the hedged item impacts realized capital gains (losses), changes in the valuation allowance for fixed maturities available-for-sale and certain financing receivables, impairments of real estate held for investment and impairments on equity method investments. Investment gains and losses on sales of certain real estate held for sale due to investment strategy and mark-to-market adjustments on certain securities carried at fair value with an investment objective to realize economic value through mark-to-market changes are reported as net investment income and are excluded from net realized capital gains (losses). The major components of net realized capital gains (losses) on investments were as follows: For the three months ended March 31, 2022 2021 (in millions) Fixed maturities, available-for-sale: Gross gains $ 165.8 $ 37.0 Gross losses (120.7) (5.1) Net credit losses (6.1) (4.4) Hedging, net (1) (0.7) — Fixed maturities, trading (2) (14.2) (14.1) Equity securities (3) (105.2) 16.2 Mortgage loans (19.6) 4.7 Derivatives (1) 42.4 113.6 Other (52.2) 3.5 Net realized capital gains (losses) $ (110.5) $ 151.4 (1) The change in fair value of fixed maturities, available-for-sale and the change in fair value of derivative hedging instruments in fair value hedging relationships are reported in net investment income with the earnings effect of fixed maturities, available-for-sale. Gains (losses) for fixed maturities, available-for-sale related to terminated cash flow hedges continue to be reflected in net realized capital gains (losses). (2) Unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturities, trading still held at the reporting date were $(13.1) million and $(14.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (3) Unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities still held at the reporting date were $(105.5) million and $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively . This excludes $(19.3) million and $5.2 million of unrealized gains (losses) on equity securities still held at the reporting date for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, that were reported in net investment income. Proceeds from sales of investments (excluding call and maturity proceeds) in fixed maturities, available-for-sale were $4,859.7 million and $554.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Allowance for Credit Loss We have a process in place to identify fixed maturity securities that could potentially require an allowance for credit loss. This process involves monitoring market events that could impact issuers’ credit ratings, business climate, management changes, litigation and government actions and other similar factors. This process also involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues. Each reporting period, all securities in an unrealized loss position are reviewed to determine whether a decline in value is due to credit. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent the fair value is below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for structured securities, the adequacy of the expected cash flows. To the extent we determine an unrealized loss is due to credit, an allowance for credit loss is recognized through a reduction to net income. We estimate the amount of the allowance for credit loss as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security. The methodology and assumptions for establishing the best estimate cash flows vary depending on the type of security. The ABS cash flow estimates are based on security specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. The corporate security cash flow estimates are derived from scenario-based outcomes of expected corporate restructurings or liquidations using bond specific facts and circumstances including timing, security interests and loss severity. We do not measure a credit loss allowance on accrued interest receivable because we write off the accrued interest receivable balance to net investment income in a timely manner when we have concern regarding collectability. Amounts on fixed maturities, available-for-sale deemed to be uncollectible are written off and removed from the allowance for credit loss. A write-off may also occur if we intend to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity. A rollforward of the allowance for credit loss by major security type was as follows.

Available-for-Sale Securities in Unrealized Loss Positions Without an Allowance for Credit Loss For available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses for which an allowance for credit loss has not been recorded, the gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position were as follows: March 31, 2022 Less than Greater than or twelve months equal to twelve months Total Gross Gross Gross Fair unrealized Fair unrealized Fair unrealized value losses value losses value losses (in millions) Fixed maturities, available-for-sale (1): U.S. government and agencies $ 1,235.6 $ 20.1 $ 254.3 $ 56.6 $ 1,489.9 $ 76.7 Non-U.S. governments 232.9 12.9 5.6 1.0 238.5 13.9 States and political subdivisions 3,091.5 245.7 154.1 23.7 3,245.6 269.4 Corporate 18,061.6 1,024.1 1,504.8 252.9 19,566.4 1,277.0 Residential mortgage-backed pass-through securities 1,455.1 76.5 104.4 9.3 1,559.5 85.8 Commercial mortgage-backed securities 4,337.2 186.3 331.7 30.0 4,668.9 216.3 Collateralized debt obligations (2) 2,786.5 23.7 592.1 10.0 3,378.6 33.7 Other debt obligations 4,885.6 238.5 446.8 46.3 5,332.4 284.8 Total fixed maturities, available-for-sale $ 36,086.0 $ 1,827.8 $ 3,393.8 $ 429.8 $ 39,479.8 $ 2,257.6 (1) Fair value and gross unrealized losses are excluded for available-for-sale securities for which an allowance for credit loss has been recorded. (2) Primarily consists of collateralized loan obligations backed by secured corporate loans. Of the total amounts, Principal Life Insurance Company’s (“Principal Life”) consolidated portfolio represented $38,139.5 million in available-for-sale fixed maturities with gross unrealized losses of $2,144.8 million. Of the available-for-sale fixed maturities within Principal Life’s consolidated portfolio in a gross unrealized loss position, 94% were investment grade (rated AAA through BBB-) with an average price of 95 (carrying value/amortized cost) as of March 31, 2022. Gross unrealized losses in our fixed maturities portfolio increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest rates and a widening of credit spreads. For those securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months, Principal Life’s consolidated portfolio held 5,353 securities with a carrying value of $34,890.6 million and unrealized losses of $1,753.3 million reflecting an average price of 95 as of March 31, 2022. Of this portfolio, 94% was investment grade (rated AAA through BBB-) as of March 31, 2022, with associated unrealized losses of $1,635.1 million. The unrealized losses on these securities can primarily be attributed to changes in market interest rates and changes in credit spreads since the securities were acquired. For those securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position greater than or equal to twelve months, Principal Life’s consolidated portfolio held 572 securities with a carrying value of $3,248.9 million and unrealized losses of $391.5 million as of March 31, 2022. The average credit rating of this portfolio was A+ with an average price of 89 as of March 31, 2022. Of the $391.5 million in unrealized losses, the corporate sector accounts for $215.7 million in unrealized losses with an average price of 87 and an average credit rating of BBB+. Furthermore, unrealized losses include $56.6 million within the U.S. government and agency security sector with an average price of 82 and an average credit rating of AAA; $29.4 million within the other debt obligations security sector with an average price of 91 and an average credit rating of AAA; and $29.3 million within the CMBS sector with an average price of 92 and an average credit rating of AAA. The unrealized losses on these securities can primarily be attributed to changes in market interest rates and changes in credit spreads since the securities were acquired. Because we expected to recover our amortized cost, we did not record an allowance for credit loss on these securities as of March 31, 2022. Because it was not our intent to sell the fixed maturity available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses and it was not more likely than not that we would be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost, which may be at maturity, we did not write down these investments to fair value.

Gross unrealized losses in our fixed maturities portfolio increased during the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in interest rates, partially offset by tightening of credit spreads. For those securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months, Principal Life’s consolidated portfolio held 1,805 securities with a carrying value of $13,052.3 million and unrealized losses of $150.9 million reflecting an average price of 99 as of December 31, 2021. Of this portfolio, 90% was investment grade (rated AAA through BBB-) as of December 31, 2021, with associated unrealized losses of $138.9 million. The unrealized losses on these securities can primarily be attributed to changes in market interest rates and changes in credit spreads since the securities were acquired. For those securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position greater than or equal to twelve months, Principal Life’s consolidated portfolio held 459 securities with a carrying value of $2,740.3 million and unrealized losses of $137.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The average credit rating of this portfolio was A+ with an average price of 95 as of December 31, 2021. Of the $137.1 million in unrealized losses, the corporate sector accounts for $67.1 million in unrealized losses with an average price of 95 and an average credit rating of BBB+. Furthermore, unrealized losses include $30.9 million within the U.S. government and agency security sector with an average price of 93 and an average credit rating of AAA, $15.3 million within the commercial mortgage-backed security sector with an average price of 95 and an average credit rating of AAA and $6.7 million within the collateralized debt obligation sector with an average price of 98 and an average credit rating of AA+. The unrealized losses on these securities can primarily be attributed to changes in market interest rates and changes in credit spreads since the securities were acquired. Because we expected to recover our amortized cost, we did not record an allowance for credit loss on these securities as of December 31, 2021. Because it was not our intent to sell the fixed maturity available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses and it was not more likely than not that we would be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost, which may be at maturity, we did not write down these investments to fair value. Net Unrealized Gains and Losses on Available-for-Sale Securities and Derivative Instruments The net unrealized gains and losses on investments in available-for-sale securities and the net unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments in cash flow hedge relationships are reported as separate components of stockholders’ equity. The cumulative amount of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and derivative instruments in cash flow hedge relationships net of adjustments related to DAC and related actuarial balances, policyholder liabilities, noncontrolling interest and applicable income taxes was as follows: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 (in millions) Net unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturities, available-for-sale (1) $ (307.8) $ 5,289.9 Net unrealized gains on derivative instruments 52.3 80.1 Adjustments for assumed changes in amortization patterns 81.1 (266.1) Adjustments for assumed changes in policyholder liabilities (108.6) (689.2) Net unrealized gains on other investments and noncontrolling interest adjustments 54.7 40.5 Provision for deferred income tax benefits (taxes) 57.3 (936.0) Net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities and derivative instruments $ (171.0) $ 3,519.2 (1) Excludes net unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturities, available-for-sale included in fair value hedging relationships. Financing Receivables Mortgage Loans Mortgage loans consist of commercial and residential mortgage loans. Our commercial mortgage loan portfolio consists primarily of non-recourse, fixed rate mortgages on stabilized properties. Our residential mortgage loan portfolio is composed of first lien and home equity mortgages concentrated in Chile and the United States. Commercial and residential mortgage loans are generally reported at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accrual of discounts, computed using the interest method and net of valuation allowances. Amortized cost excludes accrued interest receivable. Interest income is accrued on the principal amount of the loan based on the loan’s contractual interest rate. Interest income, as well as prepayment of fees and the amortization of the related premium or discount, is reported in net investment income on the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest receivable is reported in accrued investment income on the consolidated statements of financial position. Any changes in the loan valuation allowances are reported in net realized capital gains (losses) on the consolidated statements of operations. Further details relating to our valuation allowance are included under the caption “Financing Receivables Valuation Allowance.” Direct Financing Leases Our direct financing leases are concentrated in Chile. Our Chilean operations enter into private placement contracts for commercial, industrial and office space properties whereby our Chilean operations purchase the real estate and/or building from the seller-lessee but then lease the property back to the seller-lessee. Ownership of the property is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term. Direct financing leases are reported as a component of other investments in the consolidated statements of financial position. Reinsurance Recoverables Our reinsurance recoverables include amounts due from reinsurers for paid or unpaid claims, claims incurred but not reported or policy benefits. We cede life, disability, medical and long-term care insurance to other insurance companies through reinsurance. Reinsurance recoverables are reported with premiums due and other receivables in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Financing Receivables Credit Monitoring Commercial Mortgage Loan Credit Risk Profile Based on Internal Rating We actively monitor and manage our commercial mortgage loan and direct financing lease portfolios. All commercial mortgage loans and direct financing leases are analyzed regularly and substantially all are internally rated, based on a proprietary risk rating cash flow model, in order to monitor the financial quality of these assets. The models stress expected cash flows at various levels and at different points in time depending on the durability of the income stream, which includes our assessment of factors such as location (macro and micro markets), tenant quality and lease expirations. Our internal rating analysis presents expected losses in terms of an S&P Global (“S&P”) bond equivalent rating for domestic commercial mortgage loans and Feller rate equivalent for Chilean commercial mortgage loans and direct financing leases. As the credit risk for commercial mortgage loans and direct financing leases increases, we adjust our internal ratings downward with loans in the category “B+ and below” having the highest risk for credit loss. Internal ratings on commercial mortgage loans and direct financing leases are updated at least annually and potentially more often for certain investments with material changes in collateral value or occupancy and for investments on an internal “watch list”. Commercial mortgage loans and direct financing leases that require more frequent and detailed attention are identified and placed on an internal “watch list”. Among the criteria that may indicate a potential problem are significant negative changes in ratios of loan to value or contract rents to debt service, major tenant vacancies or bankruptcies, borrower sponsorship problems, late payments, delinquent taxes and loan relief/restructuring requests. Residential Mortgage Loan Credit Risk Profile Based on Performance Status Our residential mortgage loan portfolio is monitored based on performance of the loans. Monitoring on a residential mortgage loan increases when the loan is delinquent or earlier if there is an indication of potential impairment. We define non-performing domestic residential mortgage loans as loans 90 days or greater delinquent or on non-accrual status. We define non-performing residential first lien mortgages in the Chilean market as loans that have missed a specified number of coupon payments based on the nature of the loans and collection practices in that market. Non-Accrual Financing Receivables Financing receivables are placed on non-accrual status if we have concern regarding the collectability of future payments or if a financing receivable has matured without being paid off or extended. Factors considered may include conversations with the borrower, loss of major tenant, bankrup |
