FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
REINSURANCE GROUP OF AMERICA REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER RESULTS;
PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR FULL-YEAR 2009
PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR FULL-YEAR 2009
ST. LOUIS, January 26, 2009 – Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE:RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance, reported net income for the fourth quarter of $9.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $63.6 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called operating income as a basis for analyzing financial results. The definition of operating income and reconciliations to GAAP net income are provided in the following tables. Additional financial information can be found in the Quarterly Financial Supplement on RGA’s Investor Relations site atwww.rgare.com in the “Quarterly Results” tab and in the “Featured Report” section. Operating income increased to $100.0 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, from $91.2 million, or $1.42 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter, attributable to improved Canadian and international operations. The quarter’s earnings per share included dilution of $0.14 from the company’s 10,235,000-share common stock offering in early November. Weaker foreign currencies also negatively affected the 2008 results by approximately $0.16 per share. Fourth-quarter net premiums rose 3 percent, to $1,389.1 million, from $1,348.0 million a year ago. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, premiums increased approximately 11 percent for the quarter. Net investment income totaled $196.6 million versus $226.8 million the year before.
Net income for the 2008 quarter included approximately $16.1 million, pre-tax, in investment impairments. Additionally, net income included unrealized losses of $74.5 million, after taxes and adjustments to deferred acquisition costs (DAC), due to the decline in the fair value of embedded derivatives associated with treaties structured on a modified coinsurance and

funds withheld basis. This non-cash, unrealized loss is due to widening credit spreads on the investment portfolios underlying certain funds withheld annuity reinsurance treaties.
For the full year, net income totaled $176.8 million or $2.71 per diluted share, compared to $293.8 million, or $4.57 per diluted share, for 2007. Operating income increased to $399.2 million, or $6.12 per diluted share, compared to $353.5 million, or $5.50 per diluted share, in the prior-year period, an 11-percent increase on a per-share basis and within the guidance range established by the company in January 2008. Consolidated net premiums were up 9 percent, to $5,349.3 million from $4,909.0 million.
A. Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer, commented, “Overall, we are pleased with the quarter and full-year results given the turmoil in worldwide financial markets, the relative dilution in earnings per share until we can deploy proceeds from our recent stock offering, and the impact of the relative depreciation in several major foreign currencies, notably the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and British pound sterling. Although the financial markets’ turmoil continues to put pressure on investment values, our write-downs for the quarter were relatively modest at $16.1 million. Gross unrealized losses on investment securities increased to $1,416.4 million from $960.6 million at September 30, primarily due to credit spread widening. Although the environment is volatile, we believe our portfolio remains appropriately positioned. We have posted to our Web site a Quarterly Financial Supplement that includes information on our investments, including exposures to subprime, Alt-A, and other structured securities. Our investment profile is largely unchanged, with 97 percent of our fixed maturity securities held in the investment grade categories. Additionally, we have further enhanced our already strong liquidity position, which is prudent in the current environment.”
Woodring continued, “Our operating results were mixed, somewhat weak in the U.S., but much stronger in Canada and internationally. The U.S. reported a pre-tax loss of $47.1 million for the quarter versus pre-tax income of $82.4 million the year before. The current-quarter results include approximately $114.5 million, pre-tax and after DAC, in unrealized losses associated with embedded derivatives for treaties structured under a modified coinsurance and funds withheld basis. Pre-tax operating income totaled $77.5 million compared to $110.7 million the year before, a reflection of approximately $24.0 million in adverse mortality experience and weak results in our asset intensive business. The level of mortality variance, driven primarily by an increase in large claims, also had a negative effect on the U.S. segment for

the entire year as well as the fourth quarter. We experienced a favorable mortality variance in last year’s fourth quarter. The negative mortality variance for the year comes after two very stable years. We have not identified any systemic issue and attribute this variance to the statistical volatility that can present itself in any reporting period. Net premiums were up 11 percent to $875.9 million from $791.4 million in the prior-year quarter. For the year, net premiums increased 8 percent, the midpoint of our guidance range of 7 to 9 percent.
“The U.S. Asset Intensive business reported a pre-tax loss of $120.6 million compared to a pre-tax loss of $17.4 million last year. The impact of wider credit spreads on the fair value of the B36 embedded derivatives associated with treaties structured on a modified coinsurance and funds withheld basis continues to drive the negative impact. Over time, we expect these losses to reverse. As expected in the current environment, net income was also adversely affected by losses associated with variable annuity business. To date, those losses have been largely offset by DAC adjustments. On an operating basis, this business reported a pre-tax loss of $2.8 million compared to pre-tax income of $7.4 million a year ago. The current-period loss was primarily driven by realized investment losses of $13.8 million, pre-tax and before DAC, in the funds withheld portfolios. Due to the structure of those treaties, the realized losses are included in operating income.
“Our Canada operations reported another strong quarter on favorable mortality experience, with pre-tax net income of $22.1 million compared to $19.5 million a year ago. Pre-tax operating income totaled $23.3 million versus $19.5 million a year ago, representing a 19-percent increase. Foreign currency fluctuations negatively affected pre-tax operating income by approximately $6.2 million in the current quarter. Net premiums decreased 10 percent on a U.S. dollar basis to $126.8 million from $141.4 million in the prior year. On a Canadian dollar basis, premiums increased approximately 11 percent for the quarter. For the year, premiums were up 10 percent on a U.S. dollar basis, in line with our guidance.
“Asia Pacific reported a strong quarter with pre-tax net income of $24.5 million compared with $16.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Pre-tax operating income totaled $22.3 million compared with $17.5 million a year ago attributable to favorable mortality in several of our key markets. Foreign currency fluctuations negatively affected pre-tax operating income in the quarter by approximately $2.0 million. Net premiums totaled $227.7 million compared to $238.3 million. The current-period figure was negatively affected by approximately

$39.0 million due to foreign currency fluctuations. For the year, net premiums exceeded $1.0 billion, a noteworthy accomplishment.
“Europe and South Africa results were strong. Pre-tax net income increased to $21.8 million from $2.8 million a year ago when we experienced high claim levels in the U.K. Pre-tax operating income climbed to $26.4 million versus $3.3 million last year, with solid mortality results across all locations. The British pound sterling and the South African rand weakened considerably during the quarter and adversely affected pre-tax operating income by approximately $7.8 million. Net premiums declined to $156.9 million from $175.2 million due to weaker foreign currencies that had a negative effect of approximately $43.2 million. Premiums for the year were up 4 percent on a U.S. dollar basis and approximately 11 percent on an original currency basis.”
Woodring observed, “Although the earnings dilution from the stock offering and the unrealized foreign currency fluctuations made comparisons difficult with the year-earlier fourth quarter, our operations overall remain robust and have consistently provided increases in retained capital and positive cash flow. We continue to be in a position to hold our investment securities until recovery, provided we are comfortable with the credit. Our operations do not rely on short-term funding or commercial paper, and therefore, to date, we have experienced no liquidity pressure, nor do we anticipate such pressure in the foreseeable future.
“Despite the volatile conditions, we believe we are well-positioned and our common equity offering in the fourth quarter further enhances our strength and flexibility. We continue to evaluate a significant number of new business opportunities, but have not yet deployed a meaningful amount of that new capital. We expect the activity on these opportunities to increase during the first half of 2009 and will deploy our capital in a disciplined fashion, taking advantage of opportunities that meet our return requirements.
“Excluding the impact of dilution from our common equity offering, operating income per share for the year increased 14 percent. We remain optimistic about our business and market opportunities over the next several years; however, we will be challenged on a number of fronts in 2009. In particular, the volatile financial markets, the potential for weaker foreign currencies in several key markets, and the uncertainty associated with the rate of deployment of the proceeds from our recent equity offering make it more difficult to project 2009 earnings. With that in mind, we project 2009 operating income per share to be within a range of $5.75 to $6.25 per

diluted share. This guidance reflects a negative impact from foreign currency of approximately $0.35 per share and approximately $0.50 per share in dilution from our recent common stock offering. Our guidance also assumes an expected level of death claims, which are prone to normal short-term statistical fluctuations that can significantly affect our results on a quarterly and annual basis.
“On a U.S. dollar basis, we expect consolidated net premiums to increase by approximately 10 percent. As with operating earnings, we expect reported premiums for non-U.S. operations will be negatively affected by weaker foreign currencies. At the segment level, we expect a 6 to 8 percent increase in the U.S., and 11 to 13 percent in Canada on a Canadian dollar basis. For Asia Pacific, we expect a 10 to 15 percent increase on an original currency basis and for Europe and South Africa, we expect a 15 to 20 percent increase on an original currency basis. We continue to expect significant growth opportunities in select Asian markets, and will continue our inroads into European markets.”
The company announced that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.09, payable February 26 to shareholders of record as of February 5.
The company also announced that its board of directors elected Arnoud W.A. Boot, professor of corporate finance and financial markets at the University of Amsterdam, and John F. Danahy, retired chairman and chief operating officer of May Merchandising Company and May Department Stores International, as directors to fill two vacancies created on September 12, 2008 by the resignations of three former directors affiliated with MetLife, Inc., RGA’s former majority shareholder.

Operating Income
RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called operating income as a basis for analyzing financial results. This measure also serves as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under RGA’s management incentive programs. Management believes that operating income, on a pre-tax and after-tax basis, better measures the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the company’s continuing operations, primarily because that measure excludes the effect of net investment related gains and losses, as well as changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives and related deferred acquisition costs. These items can be volatile, primarily due to the credit market and interest rate environment and are not necessarily indicative of the performance of the company’s underlying businesses. Additionally, operating income excludes any net gain or loss from discontinued operations and the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, which management believes are not indicative of the company’s ongoing operations. The definition of operating income can vary by company and is not considered a substitute for GAAP net income.
