        REINSURANCE GROUP OF AMERICA REPORTS FOURTH-QUARTER RESULTS;
        ------------------------------------------------------------
                     PROVIDES EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR 2006
                     -----------------------------------


         ST. LOUIS, January 30, 2006 - Reinsurance Group of America,
Incorporated (NYSE:RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance,
reported net income for the fourth quarter of $68.2 million, or $1.07 per
diluted share, compared to $55.4 million, or $0.87 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. Operating income increased 32 percent to $73.1 million, or
$1.15 per share, from $55.5 million, $0.87 per diluted share in the year-ago
quarter.

         Fourth-quarter net premiums rose 16 percent to $1,060.1 million
from $916.8 million a year ago. Net investment income totaled $169.4 million
versus $168.2 million the year before. Approximately $12.0 million of the
prior-period amount was due to the conversion of a large annuity treaty
from a funds-withheld structure to a coinsurance structure.

         A. Greig Woodring, president and chief executive officer,
commented, "Each of our operating segments contributed to a strong fourth
quarter. The U.S. segment reported good results with pre-tax net income
totaling $84.4 million for the quarter versus $71.8 million in the
prior-year quarter. Pre-tax operating income totaled $90.1 million for the
quarter compared to $77.5 million in the prior-year quarter, a 16 percent
increase. Mortality experience for the quarter was within our range of
expectations. For the year, the U.S. reported more than $2.4 billion in net
premiums, a 10 percent increase over the prior year. Pre-tax operating
income for the year totaled $271.8 million, down 6 percent from $289.5
million in 2004, due primarily to the adverse claims experience during the
second quarter of 2005.

         "For the quarter, our Canada operations reported pre-tax net income
of $21.4 million compared to $20.5 million a year ago. Pre-tax operating
income was up 21 percent to $20.8 million from $17.2 million. Mortality
experience continues to be good. Net premiums increased $30.8 million, or 42
percent for the quarter, and totaled $103.4 million. Approximately $3.7
million of the increase in net premiums and approximately $1.0 million of
the increase in pre-tax operating income were the result of a favorable
currency exchange rate. For the year, pre-tax operating income totaled $83.2
million, up 34 percent from $62.0 million in 2004. Foreign currency
fluctuations contributed approximately $5.6 million, pretax, to the 2005
results.

         "Other International operations, which include our Asia Pacific and
Europe and South Africa segments, reported a strong quarter. Asia Pacific
reported pre-tax net income of $17.8 million compared with pre-tax net
income of $2.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Pre-tax operating income
increased to $18.2 million from $2.3 million. The current quarter reflected
favorable mortality experience, while the prior-year period reflected poor
mortality experience, including the effect of tsunami related reserves. Net
premiums increased 26 percent to $136.4 million from $108.0 million. Foreign
currency fluctuations adversely affected net premiums and pre-tax operating
income by approximately $2.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

         "Results in Europe and South Africa were also good, driven by
favorable mortality in the UK. Pre-tax net income totaled $11.9 million
compared to $4.0 million a year ago. Pre-tax operating income increased to
$11.8 million from $3.6 million. The prior-period results reflected adverse
mortality experience in the UK. Net premiums increased 12 percent for the
quarter to $141.2 million. This rate of increase has lessened relative to
previous years due to a slowdown in the UK primary market. Foreign currency
fluctuations, primarily the British pound, adversely affected net premiums
and pre-tax operating income by approximately $9.7 million and $1.2 million,
respectively.

         "For the year, our international operations contributed $75.6
million in pre-tax operating earnings, or approximately 22 percent of the
consolidated total. While these results are inherently volatile on a
quarterly basis, we have been pleased with the cumulative performance of the
international operations when measured over the last several years. As the
operations mature and grow, we expect the volatility to decrease.

         "The Corporate and Other segment reported a pre-tax net operating
loss of $26.0 million. That amount includes the impact of approximately $7.0
million, pretax, or $0.07 per share on an after-tax basis, in costs
associated with commuting the majority of our remaining Argentine pension
business. We negotiated the commutation of the two most significant
treaties, and have now commuted over 95 percent of our obligations. The
residual business is insignificant."

         For the year, consolidated net income totaled $224.2 million, or
$3.52 per diluted share, compared to $221.9 million, or $3.52 per diluted
share, in the year-ago period. Operating income totaled $225.5 million, or
$3.54 per diluted share, compared to $224.6 million, or $3.57 per diluted
share the year before. Operating income in 2005 benefited from net stronger
foreign currencies by approximately $3.4 million, after tax, or
approximately $0.05 per diluted share. Consolidated net premiums were up 16
percent, to $3,866.8 million from $3,347.4 million.

         Woodring concluded, "It was a strong quarter, but we did not meet
our full-year 2005 earnings expectation due primarily to the adverse claims
experience in the U.S. during the second quarter and the negotiation of
final settlements for the Argentine pension business. However, we did recoup
some of that poor experience in the second half of the year and head into
2006 with good momentum. We expect continued growth in 2006; however, the
pace of growth in our North American operations and select international
markets, such as the UK, is expected to moderate. On a consolidated basis
for 2006, we expect operating earnings per diluted share to be within a
range of $4.00 to $4.50 and consolidated net premium growth of 10 percent to
15 percent."

         The company also announced that its board of directors declared a
regular quarterly dividend of $0.09, payable February 27 to shareholders of
record as of February 6. Additionally, Lisa M. Weber, a MetLife executive,
resigned from the board of directors, and the board elected Georgette A.
Piligian, senior vice president & chief information officer, corporate
systems, MetLife, to fill the vacancy.

         A conference call to discuss the company's fourth-quarter results
will begin at 9 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, January 31. Interested parties
may access the call by dialing 800-210-9006 (domestic) or 719-457-2621

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 embedded derivatives and related
deferred acquisition costs. These items tend to be highly variable,
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.
