NOTES | |
| | | |
On April 3, 2006, we completed our merger with Jefferson Pilot Corporation ("JP") and have included the results of operations and financial |
condition of JP since then. | |
| | | |
Definitions and Presentation | |
"Income from Operations," "Operating Revenue," "Return on Capital," and "Station Operating Income" are non-GAAP financial measures |
and do not replace GAAP revenue and net income (loss). Detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most |
directly comparable GAAP financial measure are included in this statistical supplement. | |
| | | |
* | We exclude the after-tax effects of the following items from GAAP net income to arrive at income from |
| operations: | |
| * Realized gains and losses on investments and derivatives, | |
| * Gains and losses related to reinsurance embedded derivatives/trading account securities, |
| * The cumulative effect of accounting changes, | |
| * Reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance net of related deferred gain amortization, |
| * Gains and losses on the sale of subsidiaries and blocks of business, and | |
| * Loss on early retirement of debt, including subordinated debt | |
| | | |
* | Operating revenue represents revenue excluding the following, as applicable: | |
| * Realized gains or losses on investments and derivatives, | |
| * Gains and losses related to reinsurance embedded derivatives/trading account securities, |
| * Gains and losses on the sale of subsidiaries and blocks of business, and | |
| * Deferred gain amortization related to reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance |
| | | |
* | Return on capital measures the effectiveness of LNC's use of its total capital, which includes equity (excluding accumulated |
| other comprehensive income), debt, capital securities and junior subordinated debentures issued to affiliated trusts. |
| Return on capital is calculated by dividing annualized income from operations (after adding back interest expense) by average |
| capital. The difference between return on capital and return on shareholders' equity represents the effect of leveraging on |
| LNC's consolidated results. | |
| | | |
* | Station operating income is calculated as communications revenues less operating costs and expenses before depreciation |
| and amortization. | |
| | | |
Income from operations, operating revenue, return on capital, and station operating income are internal measures used by LNC in the |
management of its operations. Management believes that these performance measures explain the results of operations of LNC's ongoing |
operations in a manner that allows for a better understanding of the underlying trends in LNC's current business because the excluded |
items are either unpredictable and/or not related to decisions regarding the underlying businesses. |
| | | |
* | Certain operating and statistical measures are included in this report to provide supplemental data regarding the |
| performance of LNC’s current business. These measures include deposits, sales, net flows, first year premium, inforce, |
| spreads, and assets under management. | |
| | | |
* | Sales as reported consist of the following: | |
| * Universal life ("UL"), including Moneyguard, and COLI - first year commissionable premium plus 5% of excess premium |
| received, including UL internal replacements | |
| * Whole life and term - first year paid premium | |
| * Annuity - deposits from new and existing customers | |
| * Group Protection - annualized first year premium from new policies | |
| * Investment Management Retail Sales and Institutional Inflows - contributions, transfer in kind purchases, and reinvested |
| dividends for new and existing accounts. | |
| | | |
During the third quarter of 2007, we added additional detail to our roll forwards of DAC and VOBA, DSI and DFEL to disclose the net impact |
of prospective and retrospective unlocking on amortization for these accounts. This additional information will help explain a source of |
volatility in amortization. | |
| | | |
* | Prospective unlocking - In the third quarter of each year, we review and update our assumptions used in projecting our future |
| estimated gross profits (EGPs) used to amortize DAC, VOBA, DFEL and DSI. These updates to assumptions result in unlocking |
| that represent an increase or decrease to our carrying value of DAC, VOBA, DFEL and DSI based upon our updated view of future |
| EGPs. The various assumptions that are reviewed include investment margins, mortality, expenses and persistency. |
| | | |
* | Retrospective unlocking - On a quarterly basis, we “true-up” our models for actual gross profits and in-force experience for the |
| period, and to the extent that actual experience differs from previously expected a positive or negative retrospective adjustment to |
| the amortization of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL is recorded. This update to the models may generate a change in the amortization |
| rate which results in a catch-up to the cumulative amortization, by recalculating the DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL balances assuming |
| that the revised amortization rate had been used since issue. | |
| | | |
* | Our unlocking process also includes our reserves for our guaranteed benefit features and is described more fully in “Part II - |
| Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” of |
| our 2006 Form 10-K. | |
| | | |
Book value per share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") is calculated based upon a non-GAAP financial measure. It is |
calculated by dividing (a) stockholders' equity excluding AOCI, by (b) common shares outstanding. We provide book value per share |
excluding AOCI to enable investors to analyze the amount of our net worth that is primarily attributable to our business operations. We believe |
book value per share excluding AOCI is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to |
period, primarily based on changes in interest rates. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. |
| | | |
Pre-tax operating margin is calculated as Income (Loss) from Operations before Federal Income Taxes divided by Operating Revenue. |
| | | |
After-tax operating margin is calculated as Income (Loss) from Operations divided by Operating Revenue. | |
| | | |
Reclassifications | | |
Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect |
on net income or shareholders' equity in the prior periods. | |
