                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.
