NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Nature of Operations

American National Insurance Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “American National” or “the Company”) offer a broad spectrum of insurance products, including individual and group life insurance, annuities, health insurance, and property and casualty insurance. Business is conducted in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are reported in U.S. currency. American National consolidates entities that are wholly-owned and those in which American National owns less than 100% but controls, as well as variable interest entities in which American National is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The interim consolidated financial statements and notes herein are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which management considers necessary for the fair presentation of the interim consolidated statements of financial position, operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows.

The interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in American National’s Annual Report on Form10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported consolidated financial statement balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that superseded most existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP. Insurance contracts generally are excluded from the scope of the guidance. For those contracts which are impacted, the transaction price is attributed to the underlying performance obligations in the contract and revenue is recognized as the entity satisfies the performance obligations and transfers control of a good or service to the customer. The Company’s revenues include premium, other policy revenue, net investment income, realized investment gains, and other income. Other income includes fee income which is recognized when obligations under the terms specified within a contract with a customer are either (1) satisfied at a point in time or (2) the progress of completion is measured over a period of time as the obligation is performed using the input method. The Company adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The majority of our revenue sources are insurance related and not in the scope of the guidance. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changed certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The new guidance requires that equity investments, other than those accounted for under the equity method or those that result in consolidation of the investee, be measured at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognized through earnings. When the fair value option has been elected for financial liabilities, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. The guidance also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments and eliminates the disclosure requirements for methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value of financial instruments that are measured at amortized cost on the statement of financial position. The Company adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, cumulative unrealized gains and losses on equity securities of $667.7 million, partially offset by $30.4 million participating policyholders’ interest, net of tax, related to unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. In April 2018, an additional $10.2 million deferred policy acquisition cost adjustment, net of tax, related to net unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Earnings increased $105.7 million and $115.1 million, net of tax, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively from the change in net unrealized gains and losses on equity securities.

In October of 2016, the FASB issued guidance requiring an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Whereas, prior guidance prohibited the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset was sold to an outside party. The Company adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, an other liability was released and retained earnings increased by $59.9 million. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. The guidance requires the service cost component to be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs. All other components of net periodic pension cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations. The Company adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2018 using a retrospective approach. Upon adoption, other components of net periodic pension costs of $1.5 million and $8.4 million, net of tax, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, were reclassified from other operating expenses. The guidance changed presentation only and did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows. Since the Company’s defined benefit pension plans have been frozen, the components of net periodic benefit costs have not materially changed fromyear-end 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will require significant changes to the statement of financial position of lessees. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record aright-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similarly to existing guidance for operating leases today. Lessor accounting is less affected by the standard, but has been updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and will be implemented using the effective date method, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the effective date. We have identified and analyzed the majority of the lease contracts and do not expect the adoption of the standard to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will significantly change how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets, reinsurance recoverables and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Foravailable-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do under the current other-than-temporary impairment model. The standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company must develop appropriate models to measure expected credit losses to begin determining the impact of adopting the standard on our results of operations or financial position.

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company plans to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2019. The guidance changes equity presentation only and will not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financials position.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that seeks to improve financial reporting for insurance companies that issue long duration contracts. The guidance improves the timeliness of recognizing changes in the liability for future policy benefits and modifies the rate used to discount future cash flows. The guidance will simplify and improve accounting for certain market-based options or guarantees associated with deposit type contracts, simplify the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and provide users of the financial statements with enhanced disclosures. The standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

Actual maturities differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity, have been allocated to their respective categories based on the year of final contractual maturity.

As of September 30, 2018, the securities with unrealized losses including those exceeding one year were not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. American National has the ability and intent to hold those securities until a market price recovery or maturity. It ismore-likely-than-not that American National will not be required to sell them prior to recovery, and recovery is expected in a reasonable period of time. It is possible an issuer’s financial circumstances may be different in the future, which may lead to a different impairment conclusion in future periods.

There were no unamortized purchase discounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 or during the year ended December 31, 2017. Total mortgage loans were also net of unamortized origination fees of $30,591,000 and $32,766,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. No unearned income is included in these amounts.

Allowance for Credit Losses

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that all amounts due will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Mortgage loans with temporary difficulties are not considered impaired when the borrower has the financial capacity to fund revenue shortfalls from the properties for the foreseeable future. Individual valuation allowances are established for impaired loans to reduce the carrying value to the fair value of the collateral. Loans not evaluated individually for collectability are segregated by property-type and location, and allowance factors are applied. These factors are developed based on historical loss experience adjusted for the expected trend in the rate of foreclosure losses. Allowance factors are higher for loans of certain property types and in certain regions based on loss experience or a blended historical loss factor.

The change in allowance for credit losses in mortgage loans is shown below (in thousands, except number of loans):

	Collectively Evaluated for Impairment						Individually Impaired								Total

Note 5 – Mortgage Loans – (Continued)

Troubled Debt Restructurings

American National has granted concessions which are classified as troubled debt restructurings to certain mortgage loan borrowers. Concessions are generally one of, or a combination of, a delay in payment of principal or interest, a reduction of the contractual interest rate or an extension of the maturity date. American National considers the amount, timing and extent of concessions in determining any impairment or changes in the specific allowance for loan losses recorded in connection with a troubled debt restructuring. The carrying value after specific allowance, before and after modification in a troubled debt restructuring, may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than thepre-modification recovery assessment.

Troubled debt restructuring mortgage loan information is as follows (in thousands, except number of loans):

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2018						2017
	Number of loans		Recorded investment pre- modification		Recorded investment post modification		Number of loans		Recorded investment pre- modification		Recorded investment post modification

Note 6 – Real Estate and Other Investments – (Continued)

American National regularly invests in real estate partnerships and joint ventures. American National frequently participates in the design of these entities with the sponsor, but in most cases, its involvement is limited to financing. Through analysis performed by American National, some of these partnerships and joint ventures have been determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). In certain instances, in addition to an economic interest in the entity, American National holds the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity and is deemed the primary beneficiary or consolidator of the entity. The assets of the consolidated VIEs are restricted and must first be used to settle their liabilities. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of American National, as American National’s obligation is limited to the amount of its committed investment. American National has not provided financial or other support to the VIEs in the form of liquidity arrangements, guarantees, or other commitments to third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of its variable interest in the VIEs in 2018 or 2017.

The assets and liabilities relating to the VIEs included in the consolidated financial statements are as follows (in thousands):

The notes payable in the consolidated statements of financial position pertain to the borrowings of the consolidated VIEs. The liability of American National relating to notes payable of the consolidated VIEs is limited to the amount of its direct or indirect investment in the respective ventures, which totaled $27,069,000 and $28,377,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The total long-term notes payable of the consolidated VIE’s consists of the following (in thousands):

Note 7 – Derivative Instruments – (Continued)

The Company’s use of derivative instruments exposes it to credit risk in the event ofnon-performance by the counterparties. The Company has a policy of only dealing with counterparties we believe are credit worthy and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the financial loss from defaults. Thenon-performance risk is the net counterparty exposure based on the fair value of the open contracts, less collateral held. The Company maintains master netting agreements with its current active trading partners. As such, a right of offset has been applied to collateral that supports credit risk and has been recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position as an offset to “Other invested assets” with an associated payable to “Other liabilities” for excess collateral.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. A fair value hierarchy is used to determine fair value based on a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant. American National has evaluated the types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. The classification of assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect American National’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models and third-party evaluation, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fixed Maturity Securities and Equity Options—American National utilizes a pricing service to estimate fair value measurements. The estimates of fair value for most fixed maturity securities, including municipal bonds, provided by the pricing service are disclosed as Level 2 measurements as the estimates are based on observable market information rather than market quotes.

The pricing service utilizes market quotations for fixed maturity securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Since fixed maturity securities generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service prepares estimates of fair value measurements for these securities using its proprietary pricing applications, which include available relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. Additionally, an option adjusted spread model is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios.

20

Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments – (Continued)

The pricing service evaluates each asset class based on relevant market information, credit information, perceived market movements and sector news. The market inputs utilized in the pricing evaluation, listed in the approximate order of priority, include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads,two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and economic events. The extent of the use of each market input depends on the asset class and the market conditions. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of inputs may change or some market inputs may not be relevant. For some securities, additional inputs may be necessary.

American National has reviewed the inputs and methodology used and the techniques applied by the pricing service to produce quotes that represent the fair value of a specific security. The review confirms that the pricing service is utilizing information from observable transactions or a technique that represents a market participant’s assumptions. American National does not adjust quotes received from the pricing service. The pricing service utilized by American National has indicated that they will only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information available.

American National holds a small amount of private placement debt and fixed maturity securities that have characteristics that make them unsuitable for matrix pricing. For these securities, a quote from an independent broker (typically a market maker) is obtained. Due to the disclaimers on the quotes that indicate that the price is indicative only, American National includes these fair value estimates in Level 3.

For securities priced using a quote from an independent broker, such as the equity-indexed options and certain fixed maturity securities, American National uses a market-based fair value analysis to validate the reasonableness of prices received. Price variances above a certain threshold are analyzed further to determine if any pricing issue exists. This analysis is performed quarterly.

Equity Securities—For publicly-traded equity securities, prices are received from a nationally recognized pricing service that are based on observable market transactions, and these securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. For certain preferred stock, current market quotes in active markets are unavailable. In these instances, an estimate of fair value is received from the pricing service. The service utilizes similar methodologies to price preferred stocks as it does for fixed maturity securities. If applicable, these estimates would be disclosed as Level 2 measurements. American National tests the accuracy of the information provided by reference to other services annually.

Mortgage Loans—The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses on a loan by loan basis by applying a discount rate to expected cash flows from future installment and balloon payments. The discount rate takes into account general market trends and specific credit risk trends for the individual loan. Factors used to arrive at the discount rate include inputs from spreads based on U.S. Treasury notes and the loan’s credit quality, region, property type, lien priority, payment type and current status.

Separate account assets and liabilities—Separate account assets and liabilities are funds that are held separate from the general assets and liabilities of American National and that represent the investments of variable insurance product contract holders, who bear the investment risk of such funds. Investment income and investment gains and losses from these separate funds accrue to the benefit of the contract holders. Separate accounts are established in conformity with insurance laws and are not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business of American National. American National reports separately, as assets and liabilities, investments held in separate accounts and liabilities of the separate accounts if (i) such separate accounts are legally recognized; (ii) assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from American National’s general account liabilities; (iii) investments are directed by the contract holder; and (iv) all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contract holder. The assets of these accounts are carried at fair value. Deposits, net investment income and realized investment gains and losses for these accounts are excluded from revenues, and related liability increases are excluded from benefits and expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

21

Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments – (Continued)

Embedded Derivative— The amounts reported within policyholder contract deposits include equity linked interest crediting rates based on the S&P 500 index within index annuities and indexed life. The following unobservable inputs are used for measuring the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with the policyholder contract liabilities:

• Lapse rate assumptions are determined by company experience. Lapse rates are generally assumed to be lower during a contract’s surrender charge period and then higher once the surrender charge period has ended. Decreases to the assumed lapse rates generally increase the fair value of the liability as more policyholders persist to collect the crediting interest pertaining to the indexed product. Increases to the lapse rate assumption will have the inverse effect decreasing the fair value.

• Mortality rate assumptions vary by age and by gender based on company and industry experience. Decreases to the assumed mortality rates increase the fair value of the liabilities as more policyholders earn crediting interest. Increases to the assumed mortality rates decrease the fair value as higher decrements reduce the potential for future interest credits.

• Equity volatility assumptions begin with current market volatilities and grow to long-term values. Increases to the assumed volatility will increase the fair value of liabilities, as future projections will produce higher increases in the linked index. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the one year implied volatility used to estimate embedded derivative value was 8.9% and 13.7%, respectively.

Fair values of indexed life and annuity liabilities are calculated using the discounted cash flow technique. Shown below are the significant unobservable inputs used to calculate the Level 3 fair value of the embedded derivatives within policyholder contract deposits (in millions, except range percentages):

	Fair Value					Range
	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017		Unobservable Input	September 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Indexed Annuities	$	635.9	$	498.3	Lapse Rate		1-66	%		1-66	%
					Mortality Multiplier		90-100	%		90-100	%
					Equity Volatility		10-40	%		7-30	%
Indexed Life		16.2		14.2	Equity Volatility		10-40	%		7-30	%

Other Financial Instruments—Other financial instruments classified as Level 3 measurements, as there is little or no market activity, are as follows:

Policy loans—The carrying value of policy loans is the outstanding balance plus any accrued interest. Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans such that they cannot be separated from the policy contracts, the unpredictable timing of repayments and the fact that settlement is at outstanding value, American National believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value.

Investment contracts —The carrying value of investment contracts is equivalent to the accrued account balance. The accrued account balance consists of deposits, net of withdrawals, plus or minus interest credited, fees and charges assessed and other adjustments. American National believes that the carrying value of investment contracts approximates fair value because the majority of these contracts’ interest rates reset at anniversary.

Notes payable— Notes payable are carried at outstanding principal balance. The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value because the underlying interest rates approximate market rates at the balance sheet date.

Within the net gain for derivatives included in net investment income were unrealized gains of $18,868,000 and gains of $26,489,000, relating to assets still held at September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value hierarchies during the periods presented. The transfers into Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were the result of existing securities no longer being priced by the third-party pricing service at the end of the period. Unless information is obtained from the brokers that indicate observable inputs were used in their pricing, there are not enough observable inputs to enable American National to classify the securities priced by the brokers as other than Level 3. American National’s valuation of these securities involves judgment regarding assumptions market participants would use including quotes from independent brokers. The inputs used by the brokers include recent transactions in the security, similar bonds with same name, ratings, maturity and structure, external dealer quotes in the security, Bloomberg evaluated pricing and prior months pricing. None of them are observable to American National as of September 30, 2018. The transfers out of Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were securities being priced by the third-party service at the end of the period, using inputs that are observable or derived from market data, which resulted in classification of these assets as Level 2.

Note 11 – Liability for Unpaid Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses

The liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses (“claims”) for health and property and casualty insurance is included in “Policy and contract claims” in the consolidated statements of financial position and is the amount estimated for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims and claims that have been reported but not settled. Liability for unpaid claims are estimated based upon American National’s historical experience and actuarial assumptions that consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends and risk management programs, less anticipated salvage and subrogation. The effects of the changes are included in the consolidated results of operations in the period in which the changes occur. The time value of money is not taken into account for the purposes of calculating the liability for unpaid claims. There have been no significant changes in methodologies or assumptions used to calculate the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses.

Information regarding the liability for unpaid claims is shown below (in thousands):

	Nine months ended September 30,

Plus reinsurance recoverables		266,780			232,187
Unpaid claims balance, ending	$	1,295,400		$	1,199,423

The net and gross reserve calculations have shown favorable development as a result of favorable loss emergence compared to what was implied by the loss development patterns used in the original estimation of losses in prior years. Estimates for ultimate incurred claims attributable to insured events of prior years decreased by approximately $9,062,000 during the first nine months of 2018 and decreased by approximately $61,284,000 during the same period in 2017. The decrease for the first nine months in 2018 related to lower-than-anticipated losses in our workers compensation, other commercial, business owner, and commercial package policy lines of business. The decrease for the first nine months of 2017 reflects lower-than-anticipated losses in auto, business owner and commercial package policy lines of business.

For short-duration health insurance claims, the total of IBNR plus expected development on reported claims included in the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses at September 30, 2018 was approximately $48,363,000.

See Note 3, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

American National made income tax payments of $15,064,000 and $8,466,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, American National recorded an income tax benefit of $18,332,000 related to the filing of its 2017 tax return. The $18.3 million tax benefit was primarily a result of tax deductions taken at the prior year federal tax rate of 35% as opposed to the new federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to a pension plan contribution, depreciation on fixed assets and changes in our estimated income from joint ventures.

Management assesses both positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of its existing deferred tax assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, management determined that it ismore-likely-than-not that the benefit from a deferred tax asset related to its investment in a joint venture will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, American National provided a valuation allowance of $2,700,000 as of September 30, 2018. The valuation allowance resulted in an increase to tax expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2018, American National has an alternative minimum tax (AMT) credit carryforward of $6,933,000. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, AMT credit carryforwards may be utilized to offset regular tax liability. If not utilized, the credits are fully refundable by 2021.

American National’s federal income tax returns for years 2014 to 2017 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. With few exceptions, American National is no longer subject to examination for years before 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received $48.0 million in refunds related to 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. In the opinion of management, all prior year deficiencies have been paid or adequate provisions have been made for any tax deficiencies that may be upheld. No provision for penalties or interest were established during 2018 relating to a dispute with the Internal Revenue Service. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax benefits that could be recognized within the next twelve months that would decrease American National’s effective tax rate.

This plan is administered by the American National Board Compensation Committee. To date, only SAR, RS and RSU awards have been made. All awards are subject to review and approval by the Board Compensation Committee both at the time of setting applicable performance objectives and at payment of the awards. The number of shares available for grants under the plan cannot exceed 2,900,000 shares, and no more than 200,000 shares may be granted to any one individual in any calendar year. Grants were made to certain officers meeting established performance objectives, and grants are made to directors as compensation and to align their interests with those of other shareholders.

The SARs give the holder the right to cash compensation based on the difference between the stock price on the grant date and the stock price on the exercise date. The SARs vest at a rate of 20% per year for five years and expire five years after vesting.

RS awards entitle the participant to full dividend and voting rights. Each RS share awarded has the value of one share of restricted stock and vests 10 years from the grant date. Unvested shares are restricted as to disposition, and are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The restrictions on these awards lapse after 10 years and most of these awards feature a graded vesting schedule in the case of the retirement, death or disability of an award holder. Restricted stock awards for 350,334 shares have been granted at an exercise price of zero, of which 10,000 shares are unvested.

RSU awards allow the recipient of the awards to settle the vested RSUs in either shares of American National’s common stock, cash or a combination of both. RSUs granted vest after aone-year or three-year graded vesting requirement or over a shorter period as a result of death, disability or retirement after age 65.

Statutory Capital and Surplus

Risk Based Capital (“RBC”) is a measure insurance regulators use to evaluate the capital adequacy of American National Insurance Company and its insurance subsidiaries. RBC is calculated using formulas applied to certain financial balances and activities that consider, among other things, investment risks related to the type and quality of investments, insurance risks associated with products and liabilities, interest rate risks and general business risks. Insurance companies that do not maintain capital and surplus at a level at least 200% of the authorized control level RBC are required to take certain actions. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, American National Insurance Company’s statutory capital and surplus was $3,294,722,000 and $3,293,474,000, respectively. American National Insurance Company and each of its insurance subsidiaries had statutory capital and surplus at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, substantially above 200% of the authorized control level.

American National and its insurance subsidiaries prepare statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the state of domicile, which include certain components of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (“NAIC Codification”). NAIC Codification is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting practices continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices. Modifications by the various state insurance departments may impact the statutory capital and surplus of American National Insurance Company and its insurance subsidiaries.

Statutory accounting differs from GAAP primarily by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, and valuing securities on a different basis. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting principles and are charged directly to surplus.

One of American National’s insurance subsidiaries has been granted a permitted practice from the Missouri Department of Insurance to record as the valuation of its investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary that is theattorney-in-fact for a Texas domiciled insurer, the statutory capital and surplus of the Texas domiciled insurer. This permitted practice increases the statutory capital and surplus of both American National Insurance Company and the Missouri domiciled insurance subsidiary by $69,164,000 and $66,625,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The statutory capital and surplus of both American National Insurance Company and the Missouri domiciled insurance subsidiary would have remained substantially above the company action level RBC had it not used the permitted practice.

Dividends

American National Insurance Company’s payment of dividends to stockholders is restricted by insurance law. The restrictions require life insurance companies to maintain minimum amounts of capital and surplus, and in the absence of special approval, limit the payment of dividends to the greater of the prior year’s statutory net income from operations, or 10% of prior year statutory surplus. American National Insurance Company is permitted without prior approval of the Texas Department of Insurance to pay total dividends of $329,347,000 during 2018. Similar restrictions on amounts that can transfer in the form of dividends, loans, or advances to American National Insurance Company apply to its insurance subsidiaries.

Noncontrolling interests

Note 15 – Segment Information

Management organizes the business into five operating segments:

• Life—consists of whole, term, universal, indexed and variable life insurance. Products are primarily sold through career, multiple-line, and independent agents as well as direct marketing channels.

• Annuity—consists of fixed, indexed, and variable annuity products. Products are primarily sold through independent agents, brokers, and financial institutions, along with multiple-line and career agents.

• Health—consists of medicare supplement, stop loss, other supplemental health products and credit disability insurance. Products are typically distributed through independent agents and managing general underwriters.

• Property and Casualty—consists of personal, agricultural and targeted commercial coverages and credit-related property insurance. Products are primarily sold through multiple-line and independent agents.

• Corporate and Other—consists of net investment income from investments and certain expenses not allocated to the insurance segments and revenues and related expenses fromnon-insurance operations.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to American National’s 2017 annual report on Form10-K. All revenues and expenses specifically attributable to policy transactions are recorded directly to the appropriate operating segment. Revenues and expenses not specifically attributable to policy transactions are allocated to each segment as follows:

• Recurring income from bonds and mortgage loans is allocated based on the assets allocated to each line of business at the average yield available from these assets.

• Net investment income from all other assets is allocated to the insurance segments in accordance with the amount of capital allocated to each segment, with the remainder recorded in the Corporate and Other business segment.

• Expenses are charged to segments through direct identification and allocations based upon various factors.

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

American National had aggregate commitments at September 30, 2018, to purchase, expand or improve real estate, to fund fixed interest rate mortgage loans, and to purchase other invested assets of $1,027,334,000 of which $453,431,000 is expected to be funded in 2018 with the remainder funded in 2019 and beyond.

American National has a $100,000,000 short-term variable rate borrowing facility containing a $55,000,000sub-feature for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the facility are at the discretion of the lender and would be used only for funding working capital requirements. The combination of borrowings and outstanding letters of credit cannot exceed $100,000,000 at any time. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the outstanding letters of credit were $3,031,000 and $4,586,000, respectively, and there were no borrowings on this facility. This facility expires on October 31, 2019.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Agreements

In May 2018, the Company became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (“FHLB”) to augment its liquidity resources. As membership requires the ownership of member stock, the Company purchased $7.0 million of stock to meet the FHLB’s membership requirement. The FHLB member stock is recorded in other invested assets on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position. Through its membership, the Company has access to the FHLB’s financial services including advances that provide an attractive funding source for short-term borrowing and for access to other funding agreements. As of September 30, 2018, certain collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO’s) with a fair value of approximately $123.1 million were on deposit with the FHLB as collateral for amounts subject to funding agreements. The deposited securities are included in bondsheld-to-maturity on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position.

Guarantees

American National has guaranteed bank loans for customers of a third-party marketing operation. The bank loans are used to fund premium payments on life insurance policies issued by American National. The loans are secured by the cash values of the life insurance policies. If the customer were to default on a bank loan, American National would be obligated to pay off the loan. As the cash values of the life insurance policies always equal or exceed the balance of the loans, management does not foresee any loss on these guarantees. The total amount of the guarantees outstanding as of September 30, 2018, was approximately $192,848,000, while the total cash value of the related life insurance policies was approximately $197,820,000.

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies – (Continued)

Litigation

American National and certain subsidiaries, in common with the insurance industry in general, are defendants in various lawsuits concerning alleged breaches of contracts, various employment matters, allegedly deceptive insurance sales and marketing practices, and miscellaneous other causes of action arising in the ordinary course of operations. Certain of these lawsuits include claims for compensatory and punitive damages. We provide accruals for these items to the extent we deem the losses probable and reasonably estimable. After reviewing these matters with legal counsel, based upon information presently available, management is of the opinion that the ultimate resultant liability, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on American National’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations; however, assessing the eventual outcome of litigation necessarily involves forward-looking speculation as to judgments to be made by judges, juries and appellate courts in the future.

Such speculation warrants caution, as the frequency of large damage awards, which bear little or no relation to the economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, continues to create the potential for an unpredictable judgment in any given lawsuit. These lawsuits are in various stages of development, and future facts and circumstances could result in management changing its conclusions. It is possible that, if the defenses in these lawsuits are not successful, and the judgments are greater than management can anticipate, the resulting liability could have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. With respect to the existing litigation, management currently believes that the possibility of a material judgment adverse to American National is remote and no estimate of range can be made for loss contingencies that are at least reasonably possible but not accrued.

Note 17 – Related Party Transactions

American National has entered into recurring transactions and agreements with certain related parties. These include mortgage loans, management contracts, agency commission contracts, marketing agreements, health insurance contracts, and legal services.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following pages provide management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 of American National Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (referred to in this document as “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”). This information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1, Financial Statements (unaudited), of this Form10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements that reflect our estimates and assumptions related to business, economic, competitive and legislative developments. Forward-looking statements generally are indicated by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “will” or words of similar meaning and include, without limitation, statements regarding the outlook of our business and expected financial performance. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve various risks and uncertainties. Moreover, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update them. Certain important factors could cause our actual results to differ, possibly materially, from our expectations or estimates. These factors are described in greater detail in Item IA, Risk Factors, in our 2017 Annual Report on Form10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018, and as updated in Part II, Item IA, Risk Factors, in our second quarter of 2018 Form10-Q filed with the SEC on August 7, 2018 and they include among others:

• Economic & Investment Risk Factors

• difficult conditions in the economy, which may not improve in the near future, and risks related to persistently low or unpredictable interest rates;

• fluctuations in the markets for fixed maturity securities, equity securities, and commercial real estate, which could adversely affect the valuation of our investment portfolio, our net investment income, our retirement expense, and sales of or fees from certain of our products;

• lack of liquidity for certain of our investments;

• risk of investment losses and defaults;

• Operational Risk Factors

• differences between actual experience regarding mortality, morbidity, persistency, expense, surrenders and investment returns, and our assumptions for product pricing, establishing liabilities and reserves or for other purposes;

• potential ineffectiveness of our risk management policies and procedures;

• changes in our experience related to deferred policy acquisition costs;

• failures or limitations of our computer, data security and administration systems;

• potential employee error or misconduct, which may result in fraud or adversely affect the execution and administration of our policies and claims;

• potential ineffectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;

• Catastrophic Event Risk Factors

• natural orman-made catastrophes, pandemic disease, or other events resulting in increased claims activity from catastrophic loss of life or property;

• the effects of unanticipated events on our disaster recovery and business continuity planning;

• Marketplace Risk Factors

• the highly competitive nature of the insurance and annuity business;

• potential difficulty in attraction and retention of qualified employees and agents;

• the introduction of alternative healthcare solutions or changes in federal healthcare policy, both of which could impact our supplemental healthcare business;

37

• Litigation and Regulation Risk Factors

• adverse determinations in litigation or regulatory proceedings which may result in significant financial losses and harm our reputation;

• significant changes in government regulation;

• changes in tax law;

• changes in statutory or U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), practices or policies;

• Reinsurance and Counterparty Risk Factors

• potential changes in the availability, affordability, adequacy and collectability of reinsurance protection;

• potential default or failure to perform by the counterparties to our reinsurance arrangements and derivative instruments;

• Other Risk Factors

• potentially adverse rating agency actions; and

• control of our company by a small number of stockholders.

Overview

Chartered in 1905, we are a diversified insurance and financial services company offering a broad spectrum of insurance products in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Our headquarters are in Galveston, Texas.

General Trends

American National had no material changes to the general trends, as discussed in the MD&A included in our 2017 Annual Report on Form10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. In addition to GAAP, insurance companies apply specific SEC regulations when preparing the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and notes requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from results reported using those estimates and assumptions. Our accounting policies inherently require the use of judgment relating to a variety of assumptions and estimates, particularly expectations of current and future mortality, morbidity, persistency, expenses, interest rates, and property and casualty loss frequency, severity, claim reporting and settlement patterns. Due to the inherent uncertainty when using the assumptions and estimates, the effect of certain accounting policies under different conditions or assumptions could vary from those reported in the consolidated financial statements.

For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see the MD&A in our 2017 Annual Report on Form10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018. There have been no material changes in accounting policies since December 31, 2017.

(1) A negative amount of net change indicates more expense was deferred than amortized and represents a decrease to expenses in the period indicated.

A positive amount of net change indicates less expense was deferred than amortized and represents an increase to expenses in the period indicated.

Income before other items and federal income taxes (“Earnings”)

Earnings increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to the inclusion of net unrealized gains on equity securities in income as required by new accounting guidance. The earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were impacted by higher mortality experience in our life segment relative to the prior period as well as increased catastrophe losses in our property and casualty segment.

Earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2018 excluding unrealized gains on equity securities were $49.4 million compared to earnings of $92.9 million for the same period in 2017. Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 excluding unrealized gains on equity securities were $159.6 million compared to $180.1 million for the same period in 2017.

(1) A negative amount of net change indicates more expense was deferred than amortized and represents a decrease to expenses in the period indicated.

A positive amount of net change indicates less expense was deferred than amortized and represents an increase to expenses in the period indicated.

Earnings

Earnings decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to higher mortality experience relative to the prior period. Growth in renewal premiums and other policy revenues partially offset the higher mortality experience.

Premiums and other revenues

Premiums increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to continued growth in renewal premium on traditional life products.

Other policy revenues, which include cost of insurance charges, earned policy service fees and surrender charges, have also increased during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2018 as the size of our interest sensitive block continues to grow, through increased sales and aging of thein-force.

Life insurance sales

The following table presents life insurance sales as measured by annualized premium, anon-GAAP measure used by the insurance industry, which allows a comparison of new policies sold by an insurance company during the period (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,							Nine months ended September 30,
	2018		2017		Change			2018		2017		Change
Traditional Life	$	13,749	$	14,249	$	(500	)	$	44,238	$	43,953	$	285
Universal Life		6,121		6,255		(134	)		18,225		17,744		481
Indexed UL		7,761		7,582		179			23,045		20,370		2,675
Total Recurring	$	27,631	$	28,086	$	(455	)	$	85,508	$	82,067	$	3,441
Single and excess(1)	$	934	$	721	$	213		$	2,148	$	2,143	$	5
Credit life(1)		2,010		2,213		(203	)		6,188		6,523		(335	)

(1) These are weighted amounts representing 10% of single and excess premiums and 31% of credit life premiums. In 2018, credit life weighting changed from 15% to 31% due to an increase in monthly outstanding balance; 2017 amounts have been updated for comparison purposes.

Life insurance sales are based on the total yearly premium that insurance companies would expect to receive if all recurring premium policies would remain in force, plus 10% of single and excess premiums and 31% of credit life premium. Life insurance sales measure activity associated with gaining new insurance business in the current period, and includes deposits received related to interest sensitive life and universal life-type products. In contrast, GAAP premium revenues are associated with policies sold in current and prior periods, and deposits received related to interest sensitive life and universal life-type products are recorded in a policyholder account which is reflected as a liability. Therefore, a reconciliation of premium revenues and insurance sales is not meaningful.

Life insurance sales increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to an increase in indexed universal life sales.

Benefits, losses and expenses

Policyholder benefits increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 attributable to an increase in life claims.

Commissions increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 driven by an increase in indexed universal life sales.

The following table presents the components of the change in DAC (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,									Nine months ended September 30,
	2018			2017			Change			2018			2017			Change
Acquisition cost capitalized	$	33,040		$	32,102		$	938		$	98,617		$	92,752		$	5,865

Change in DAC	$	4,458		$	25,486		$	(21,028	)	$	18,150		$	44,050		$	(25,900	)

The change in DAC decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of a change in the pattern in expected future profits in the universal life block in 2017.

A positive amount of net change indicates less expense was deferred than amortized and represents an increase to expenses in the period indicated.

Earnings

Earnings increased during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to an increase in interest margin driven by a higher asset base. Earnings were consistent during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017.

Premiums and other revenues

Annuity premium and deposit amounts received are shown below (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,							Nine months ended September 30,

Total earned premiums	$	47,296	$	65,007	$	(17,711	)	$	185,140	$	160,205	$	24,935

Sales declined during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017. The three month decrease was driven by the fixed deferred and equity-indexed products. The nine month decrease was driven by fixed deferred products and partially offset by an increase in equity-indexed products. Deferred products are deposit type contracts and do not contribute to earned premiums. Earned premiums consist of single premium immediate annuity sales which decreased during the three and increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017. These variances are reflective of our management of the interest margin of our annuity block in a very competitive environment for annuities.

We monitor account values and changes in those values as a key indicator of performance in our Annuity segment. Shown below are the changes in account values (in thousands):

	Nine months ended September 30,

Benefits, losses and expenses

Policyholder benefits consist of annuity payments and reserve increases for SPIA contracts. Reserve increases are highly correlated to the sales volume of SPIA contracts, which explains the change in benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017.

Commissions decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 driven by a decrease in sales of equity-indexed products. Commissions increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 driven by an increase in sales of equity indexed and single premium immediate products mostly offset by a decrease in fixed deferred products.

Other operating expenses remained relatively flat during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017.

The change in DAC represents acquisition costs capitalized less the amortization of existing DAC, which is calculated in proportion to expected gross profits. The following shows the components of the change in DAC (in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,									Nine months ended September 30,
	2018			2017			Change			2018			2017			Change
Acquisition cost capitalized	$	16,889		$	26,558		$	(9,669	)	$	76,580		$	77,414		$	(834	)
Amortization of DAC		(15,513	)		(20,752	)		5,239			(57,520	)		(54,438	)		(3,082	)
Change in DAC	$	1,376		$	5,806		$	(4,430	)	$	19,060		$	22,976		$	(3,916	)

The amortization of DAC as a percentage of gross profits is an important ratio for the Annuity segment. Changes in this ratio reflect the impact of emerging experience. The ratios for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were 38.0% and 37.0% respectively. A higher ratio is less favorable due to a higher proportion of the margin used to amortize DAC.

The change in DAC decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to lower margins on fixed deferred annuities. The change in DAC decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 due to an increase in the amortization due to less than expected surrenders in 2017 creating a more favorable surrender experience compared to 2018.

Interest Margin

Overall, the margin earned on annuity reserves increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017, mainly due to growth in annuity assets over the past year. Margin results by product are discussed further below.

The interest margin earned on fixed deferred annuities interest decreased by $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 due to a decrease in fixed investment yields.

The margin on equity-indexed annuities increased $19.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017, mainly due to growth in the asset base.

Single premium immediate annuity margins were relatively flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The following table summarizes the interest margin due to the impact of the investment performance, interest credited to policyholder’s account balances, and the end of period assets measured by account balance (in thousands):

Earnings

Property and Casualty earnings decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 due primarily to losses impacting the homeowners lines of business. Property and Casualty earnings decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 due to losses in the homeowners and commercial auto lines of business. Results were also impacted by continued losses in the GAP business.

Premiums and other revenues

Net premiums written and earned increased for all major lines of business during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017. The largest increases were in the personal auto, homeowners, and other commercial lines of business.

Benefits, losses and expenses

Claims increased during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 as a result of increases in claims related to the homeowners line of business. Claims increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 due to increases in claims related to the commercial automobile line.

Commissions for acquiring and servicing policies increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 correlated to the increase in premiums.

Operating expenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017, but at a rate less than the increase in premiums. Our underwriting expense ratio was lower in both the three and nine month periods in 2018.

Investments

We manage our investment portfolio to optimize the rate of return commensurate with sound and prudent asset selection and to maintain a well-diversified portfolio. Our investment operations are regulated primarily by the state insurance departments where our insurance companies are domiciled. Investment activities, including setting investment policies and defining acceptable risk levels, are subject to oversight by our Board of Directors, which is assisted by our Finance Committee and Management Risk Committee.

Our insurance and annuity products are generally supported by investment-grade bonds and commercial mortgage loans. We also invest in equity options as a hedge for our indexed products. We purchase fixed maturity securities and designate them as eitherheld-to-maturity oravailable-for-sale considering our estimated future cash flow needs. We also monitor the composition of our fixed maturity securities classified asheld-to-maturity andavailable-for-sale and adjust the mix within the portfolio as investments mature or new investments are purchased.

We invest in commercial mortgage loans when the yield and credit risk compare favorably with fixed maturity securities. Individual residential mortgage loans includingsub-prime orAlt-A mortgage loans have not been and are not expected to be part of our investment portfolio. We purchase real estate and equity investments based on a risk and reward analysis where we believe there are opportunities for enhanced returns.

The following summarizes the carrying values of our invested assets (other than investments in unconsolidated affiliates) by asset class (in thousands, except percentages):

	September 30, 2018				December 31, 2017
Bonds held-to-maturity, at amortized cost	$	8,010,576	36.1	%	$	7,552,959	34.5	%

Total investments	$	22,245,522	100.0	%	$	21,880,871	100.0	%

The increase in our total investments at September 30, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 was primarily a result of an increase in bondsheld-to-maturity and mortgage loans somewhat offset by a reduction in short-term investments.

Bonds— We allocate most of our fixed maturity securities to support our insurance business. At September 30, 2018, our fixed maturity securities had an estimated fair value of $14.0 billion, which was a decrease of $114.0 million, or 0.8%, below amortized cost. At December 31, 2017, our fixed maturity securities had an estimated fair value of $13.9 billion, which was $0.4 billion, or 3.0%, above amortized cost. The estimated fair value for securities due in one year or less decreased from $0.5 billion as of December 31, 2017 to $0.4 billion as of September 30, 2018. For additional information regarding total bonds by credit quality rating, refer to Note 4, Investments in Securities, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Equity Securities— We invest in companies that are publicly traded on national U.S. stock exchanges. See Note 4, Investments in Securities, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of the equity securities.

Mortgage Loans— We invest in commercial mortgage loans that are diversified by property-type and geography. Generally, mortgage loans are secured by first liens on income-producing real estate with aloan-to-value ratio of up to 75%. Mortgage loans are generally carried at outstanding principal balances, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses, and net of allowances. The weighted average coupon yield on the principal funded for mortgage loans was 4.9 and 4.7% at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

52

Policy Loans— For certain life insurance products, policyholders may borrow funds using the policy’s cash value as collateral. The maximum amount of the policy loan depends upon the policy’s surrender value. As of September 30, 2018, we had $374.3 million in policy loans with a loan to surrender value of approximately 60.0%, and at December 31, 2017, we had $377.1 million in policy loans with a loan to surrender value of 62.8%. Interest rates on policy loans primarily range from 3.0% to 12.0% per annum. Policy loans may be repaid at any time by the policyholder and have priority to any claims on the policy. If the policyholder fails to repay the policy loan, funds are withdrawn from the policy’s benefits.

Investment Real Estate— We invest in commercial real estate where positive cash flows and/or appreciation in value is expected. Real estate may be owned directly by our insurance companies ornon-insurance affiliates or indirectly in joint ventures with real estate developers or investors we determine share our perspective regarding risk and return relationships. The carrying value of real estate is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and valuation allowances, if any. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the properties.

Short-Term Investments—Short-term investments are primarily commercial paper rated A2 or P2 or better by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, respectively. The amount fluctuates depending on our view of the desirability of investing in the available long-term investment opportunities and our liquidity needs, including mortgage investment-funding commitments.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized Gains (Losses)

Net investment income increased $182.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to an increase in unrealized gains on equity securities.

Interest income on mortgage loans is accrued on the principal amount of the loan at the contractual interest rate. Accretion of discounts is recorded using the effective yield method. Interest income, accretion of discounts and prepayment fees are reported in net investment income. Interest is generally not accrued on loans more than 90 days past due or when the collection of interest is not considered probable. Loans in foreclosure are placed onnon-accrual status. Interest received onnon-accrual status mortgage loans is included in net investment income in the period received.

Net realized gains decreased $38.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017. The decrease in net realized gains in 2018 was primarily attributable to less gains from the sale of equity securities.

Net Unrealized Gains and Losses

The unrealized gains and losses of our fixed maturity and equity securities investment portfolio are shown below (in thousands):

	September 30, 2018			December 31, 2017			Change

Total	$	1,000,177		$	1,435,444		$	(435,267	)

The net change in the unrealized gains on fixed maturity securities between September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is primarily attributable to the increase in benchmarkten-year interest rates which were 3.06% and 2.41% respectively. The Company does not currently intend to sell nor does it expect to be required to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position.

The net unrealized gains of our equity securities increased as of September 30, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017 attributable to the favorable market conditions reflected in the S&P 500 index.

Liquidity

Our liquidity requirements have been and are expected to continue to be met by funds from operations, comprised of premiums received from our customers, collateral for derivative transactions, and investment income. The primary use of cash has been and is expected to continue to be payment of policyholder benefits and claims incurred and to fund our operating expenses. Current and expected patterns of claim frequency and severity may change from period to period but continue to be within historical norms. Management considers our current liquidity position to be sufficient to meet anticipated demands over the next twelve months. Our contractual obligations are not expected to have a significant negative impact to cash flow from operations.

Changes in interest rates during 2018 and market expectations for potentially higher rates through 2019, may lead to an increase in the volume of annuity contracts, which may be partially offset by increases in surrenders. Our defined benefit pension plans are frozen and currently adequately funded; however, low interest rates, increased longevity of participants, and rising Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) premiums may cause us to increase our funding of the plans. In addition, the increase in funding also provided an opportunity to realize tax savings on contributions made prior to September 15, 2018. Consequently, a $60 million dollar contribution to our frozen defined benefit pension plan was made by the company prior to the aforementioned deadline. This contribution did not significantly impact cash flow and resulted in a prepaid pension asset of $32.1 million. No unusually large capital expenditures are expected in the next12-24 months. We have paid dividends to stockholders for over 110 consecutive years and expect to continue this trend. There are no other known trends or uncertainties regarding product pricing, changes in product lines or rising costs that are expected to have a significant impact to cash flows from operations.

Funds received as premium payments and deposits, that are not used for liquidity requirements are generally invested in bonds and commercial mortgages. Funds are invested with the intent that income from the investments and proceeds from the maturities will meet our ongoing cash flow needs. We historically have not had to liquidate invested assets in order to cover cash flow needs. We believe our portfolio of highly liquidavailable-for-sale investment securities, including equity securities, is sufficient to meet future liquidity needs as necessary.

54

The Company holds collateral to offset exposure from its derivative counterparties. Cash flows associated with collateral received from counterparties change as the market value of the underlying derivative contract changes. As the value of a derivative asset declines or increases, the collateral requirements would also decline or increase respectively. For more information, see Note 7, Derivative Instruments, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment position decreased from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2017 to $824.0 million at September 30, 2018. The decrease primarily relates to a decrease in commercial paper to fund additional investments.

A downgrade or a potential downgrade in our financial strength ratings could result in a loss of business and could adversely affect our cash flow from operations.

Further information regarding additional sources or uses of cash is described in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Agreements

In May 2018, the Company became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (“FHLB”) to augment its liquidity resources. Through its membership, the Company has access to the FHLB’s financial services including advances that provide an attractive funding source for short-term borrowing and for access to other funding agreements. The Company has determined its current borrowing capacity based upon the current level of collateral at $119,446,000 as of September 30, 2018. For additional details, see Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capital Resources

We have notes payable relating to borrowings by real estate joint ventures that we consolidate into our financial statements that are not part of our capital resources. The lenders for the notes payable have no recourse against us in the event of default by the joint ventures. Therefore, the liability we have for these notes payable is limited to our investment in the respective ventures, which totaled $27.1 million and $28.4 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Statutory Capital and Surplus and Risk-based Capital

Statutory capital and surplus is the capital of our insurance companies reported in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the applicable state insurance departments. RBC is calculated using formulas applied to certain financial balances and activities that consider, among other things, investment risks related to the type and quality of investments, insurance risks associated with products and liabilities, interest rate risks and general business risks. Insurance companies that do not maintain capital and surplus at a level of at least 200% of the authorized control level RBC are required to take certain actions. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, American National Insurance Company’s statutory capital and surplus was $3,294,722,000 and $3,293,474,000, respectively. American National Insurance Company and each of its insurance subsidiaries had statutory capital and surplus at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, substantially above 200% of the authorized control level.

The achievement of long-term growth will require growth in American National Insurance Company’s and our insurance subsidiaries’ statutory capital and surplus. Our subsidiaries may obtain additional statutory capital through various sources, such as retained statutory earnings or equity contributions from us.

Contractual Obligations

Our future cash payments associated with claims and claims adjustment expenses, life, annuity and disability obligations, contractual obligations pursuant to operating leases for office space and equipment, and notes payable have not materially changed since December 31, 2017. We expect to have the capacity to pay our obligations as they come due.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We haveoff-balance sheet arrangements relating to third-party marketing operation bank loans as discussed in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. We could be exposed to a liability for these loans, which are supported by the cash value of the underlying insurance contracts. The cash value of the life insurance policies is designed to always equal or exceed the balance of the loans. Accordingly, management does not foresee any loss related to these arrangements.

Related-Party Transactions

We have various agency, consulting and service arrangements with individuals and entities considered to be related parties. Each of these arrangements has been reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee, which retains final decision-making authority for these transactions. The amounts involved, both individually and in the aggregate, with these arrangements are not material to any segment or to our overall operations. For additional details see Note 17, Related Party Transactions, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
