Exhibit 99 Jefferson Pilot Reports First-Quarter Earnings GREENSBORO, N.C., April 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jefferson-Pilot Corporation (NYSE: JP), parent of the Jefferson Pilot Financial companies and one of the nation's leading providers of universal and variable universal life insurance, fixed annuities, and employee benefits, today reported net income of $0.90 per share for the first quarter of 2004, versus $0.76 for the first quarter of 2003. Jefferson Pilot's earnings before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle (SOP 03-1) increased 30 percent to $0.99 per share from $0.76 in the first quarter of 2003. Earnings before realized investment gains, and excluding the cumulative effect of SOP 03-1, increased five percent to $0.89 per share for the quarter from $0.85 in the year-earlier period. All per-share results are on a diluted basis. Earnings from Jefferson Pilot's Individual Products business were $75.0 million in the first quarter, versus $76.0 million in the first quarter of 2003. For the quarter, individual market life insurance annualized premium sales were $48.7 million, compared to $56.0 million a year ago. Universal life policyholder fund balances grew 6 percent for the quarter to $10.9 billion, and total life fund balances increased 8 percent to $12.4 billion. Jefferson Pilot's Premier Partnering program continued to perform well, with Premier Partners contributing over 71 percent of total life insurance production in the quarter, up from 53 percent in 2003. Earnings from the Annuity and Investment Products segment were $19.0 million for the quarter, versus $21.2 million a year earlier. Fixed annuity sales of $310.1 million were up sharply from $115.3 million in the prior-year period, reflecting continued good market acceptance of Jefferson Pilot's products, particularly equity indexed products. Fixed annuity average fund balance growth was a solid 8 percent for the quarter, to $8.9 billion from $8.2 billion a year ago. The Benefit Partners group insurance segment earned $11.5 million in the first quarter, versus $11.9 million in the first quarter last year. Group insurance sales were $53.9 million in the quarter, compared to $73.0 million in the year-earlier period. Integration of the non-medical group insurance business of Canada Life is progressing well. Jefferson-Pilot Communications reported excellent results in the first quarter. Revenues increased 16 percent, which, combined with effective expense control, drove earnings up 49 percent to $10.6 million from $7.1 million a year ago. Broadcast cash flow grew 39 percent to $21.8 million from $15.7 million. The Corporate and Other segment reported first-quarter earnings before realized investment gains of $10.4 million, up from $5.3 million in the 2003 quarter. Realized investment gains of $14.7 million brought total Corporate and Other earnings to $25.1 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $7.1 million, including realized investment losses of $12.4 million, in the first quarter of 2003. During the first quarter, Jefferson Pilot bought 1,884,200 of its shares in the open market for a total investment of $101.2 million. Stockholders' equity per share grew 12 percent to $28.39 at the end of the first quarter from $25.35 a year ago. Summarizing the quarter, Jefferson Pilot CEO Dennis Glass said, "We are pleased with the overall health of our businesses and we continue to actively and appropriately manage our operations in response to market conditions, including historically low interest rates. In both our individual life insurance and annuity businesses, our distribution remains strong and our asset balances are growing. We are building our business platforms by investing in technology, distribution support, and product capability. The addition of Canada Life further strengthens our group insurance distribution and platform. Jefferson-Pilot Communications' earnings performance was excellent, demonstrating again Communications' ability to produce industry- leading profitability. We are optimistic that our basic strategies, combined with a strengthening economy, will result in improved performance." Throughout this release, "reportable segment results" is defined as net income before realized investment gains and losses (and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, if applicable). Reportable segment results is a non-GAAP measure. We believe reportable segment results provides relevant and useful information to investors, as it represents the basis on which we assess the performance of our business segments. We deem reportable segment results to be a meaningful measure for this purpose because, except for losses from other-than-temporary impairments, realized investment gains and losses occur primarily at our sole discretion. Note that reportable segment results as described above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A conference call for the investment community to discuss these results will be held tomorrow at 10:00 EDT. The call will be broadcast live on the Internet at www.jpfinancial.com , and will be archived.
