ST. LOUIS, April 28, 2016 - Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (NYSE: RGA), a leading global provider of life reinsurance, reported operating income* of $120.8 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, compared with $121.8 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Net income totaled $76.5 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $125.1 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, the year before.

Consolidated net premiums totaled $2.2 billion this quarter, up 7 percent from last year’s first quarter. Current-period premiums reflect net adverse foreign currency effects of approximately $70.2 million. Excluding those effects, premiums increased 10 percent versus the prior-year quarter. Investment income decreased 2 percent to $417.3 million this period, primarily attributable to a $51.1 million decrease in the fair value of options contracts that are included in funds withheld at interest on the consolidated balance sheet and support the crediting rates for equity-indexed annuities. The average investment yield, excluding spread businesses, was down 32 basis points to 4.46 percent from the first quarter of 2015, and 50 basis points lower than the fourth-quarter yield, due primarily to higher prepayment and variable investment income in the prior periods and higher investment income associated with a block transaction in the fourth quarter that included investment income retroactive to the beginning of that year.

Add One

The effective tax rate on operating income was approximately 32 percent this quarter, below an expected range of 34 percent to 35 percent for the full year, due primarily to generating a greater-than-expected portion of earnings in jurisdictions that have lower income tax rates than the U.S. statutory rate.

Greig Woodring, chief executive officer, commented, “We are off to a good start in 2016, with a solid first quarter. There were no major surprises in the quarter, and we remain optimistic about our earnings potential and returns over time. Operating earnings of $1.85 per diluted share were up 5 percent over last year's first quarter and would have been up 10 percent before the sizable negative effect of foreign currency movements totaling $0.10.”

Woodring continued, “Most relevant was the fact that our U.S. Traditional operations reported more consistent results in the seasonally weak first quarter following unusually high claims in our U.S. Individual Mortality business in the year-ago period. Results this year rebounded significantly and were more in line with our expectations. Our Asia Pacific segment was particularly strong, while claims flow in Canada and the U.K. was somewhat elevated, all normal volatility that occurs from quarter to quarter. More important, we have good balance overall, and our global model and diversified sources of earnings continue to serve us well.

“We repurchased 1.2 million shares in the quarter, and we continue to pursue a balanced approach to capital management in terms of deployment into in-force and other attractive transactions, share repurchases and shareholder dividend increases over time. We did not close on any major deployment transactions in the quarter, but the activity pipeline and environment continue to be strong.

“Looking forward, the macroeconomic environment remains challenging for the global life insurance industry, but we continue to see good demand from clients for our solutions. We expect to continue to execute in both our traditional and transaction businesses.”

SEGMENT RESULTS

U.S. and Latin America

Traditional

The U.S. and Latin America Traditional segment reported pre-tax operating income of $53.2 million, compared with $20.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. Mortality results were generally in line with our expectations, whereas last year’s first quarter was affected by a higher-than-expected number and average size of individual mortality claims. Pre-tax net income totaled $51.1 million for the quarter, compared with $17.8 million in last year’s first quarter.

Traditional net premiums increased 11 percent from last year's first quarter to $1,234.4 million, including the effect of in-force transactions that occurred over the past year.

Add Two

Non-Traditional

The Asset-Intensive business reported pre-tax operating income of $45.3 million compared with $40.3 million last year. Current-period results were at the low end of an expected range due to a combination of minor items. Overall, investment spreads were generally consistent with expectations. First-quarter pre-tax net losses totaled $30.8 million compared to pre-tax net income of $42.1 million a year ago, primarily attributable to realized losses from investment impairments, changes in the value of embedded derivatives and equity market effects.

The Financial Reinsurance business continued to perform well, reporting pre-tax operating income and pre-tax net income of $15.9 million, up from $12.4 million the year before, due to the ongoing effect of strong new business produced in the second half of 2015.

Canada

Traditional

The Canada Traditional segment reported pre-tax operating income of $19.4 million this quarter, up from $17.2 million the year before. Mortality experience was slightly worse than expected this year, but better than the very unfavorable experience a year ago. The negative effect of a weaker Canadian dollar was significant in the quarter, adversely affecting pre-tax operating income by $3.7 million. Pre-tax net income totaled $20.1 million compared with $22.7 million in the first quarter of 2015.

Reported net premiums increased 1 percent to $215.5 million and increased 12 percent on an original currency basis.

Non-Traditional

The Canada Non-Traditional business segment, which consists of longevity and fee-based transactions, reported pre-tax operating income and pre-tax net income of $0.6 million this quarter and $4.1 million in the prior-year quarter. This year’s results reflected unfavorable experience on longevity treaties, whereas last year's experience was favorable. Pre-tax operating income included an adverse effect of $0.6 million due to a relatively weaker Canadian dollar.

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)

Traditional

The EMEA Traditional segment reported a pre-tax operating loss of $1.1 million versus pre-tax operating income of $10.4 million in last year’s first quarter. Current-period results include unfavorable claims experience, most notably in the U.K, but consistent with seasonal volatility. First-quarter pre-tax net loss totaled $1.1 million versus a pre-tax net income of $10.5 million in the year-ago quarter.

Net reported premiums increased 2 percent and totaled $276.4 million, compared with $269.7 million in last year's first quarter. Net premiums were up 11 percent in original currencies.

Add Three

Non-Traditional

The EMEA Non-Traditional business segment includes longevity, asset-intensive and fee-based transactions. Pre-tax operating income increased to $25.6 million compared to $18.6 million in the year-ago period. The stronger current-period results reflect favorable longevity experience in the U.K. Net foreign currency fluctuations adversely affected pre-tax operating income by $2.0 million. Pre-tax net income totaled $25.4 million this quarter, compared with $19.6 million in last year’s first quarter.

Asia Pacific

Traditional

The Asia Pacific Traditional segment reported strong pre-tax operating income of $41.1 million, compared with the unusually strong results of $52.6 million in the prior-year period. This quarter’s results reflect a strong quarter in Australia, with solid results collectively across the Asian operations, most notably Japan. Net foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had an adverse effect of $2.7 million on pre-tax operating income. The prior-year quarter was driven by unusually favorable experience in Australia and strong results across most other geographies. First-quarter pre-tax net income totaled $41.2 million compared with $52.6 million in last year’s first quarter.

Reported net premiums rose 1 percent to $374.1 million from $372.1 million in the prior-year period. Net premiums were up 6 percent in original currencies this quarter.

Non-Traditional

The Asia Pacific Non-Traditional business segment includes asset-intensive, fee-based and other various transactions. Pre-tax operating income in this segment totaled $7.4 million, down from $10.1 million last year, due to adverse experience on several treaties. Net foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a favorable effect of $0.3 million on pre-tax operating income. Pre-tax net income totaled $8.6 million this quarter and $10.1 million in the year-ago period.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment’s pre-tax operating loss increased to $30.3 million from $5.7 million the year before, attributable mainly to higher operating expenses and lower investment income. Pre-tax net losses were $23.3 million this quarter versus $8.0 million a year ago.

Dividend Declaration

The board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.37, payable May 31 to shareholders of record as of May 10.

The company has posted to its website a Quarterly Financial Supplement that includes financial information for all segments as well as information on its investment portfolio. Additionally, the company posts periodic reports, press releases and other useful information on its investor relations website.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 substantially all of the effect of net investment related gains and losses, as well as changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives and related deferred acquisition costs. These items can be volatile, primarily due to the credit market and interest rate environment, and are not necessarily indicative of the performance of the company’s underlying businesses. Additionally, operating income excludes any net gain or loss from discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, and other items that 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.

Reconciliations to GAAP net income are provided in the following tables. Additional financial information can be found in the Quarterly Financial Supplement on RGA’s Investor Relations

website at www.rgare.com in the “Quarterly Results” tab and in the “Featured Report” section.

Book value per share before impact of AOCI is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is important in evaluating the balance sheet in order to ignore the effects of unrealized amounts primarily associated with mark-to-market adjustments on investments and foreign currency translation.

Operating income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Operating return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income divided by average shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI.

Financial Supplement

This Financial Supplement is for information purposes only and includes unaudited figures. This report should be read in conjunction with documents filed by Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated ("RGA") with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Disclosures

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 substantially all of the effect of net investment related gains and losses, as well as changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives and related deferred acquisition costs. These items can be volatile, primarily due to the credit market and interest rate environment and are not necessarily indicative of the performance of the company’s underlying businesses. Additionally, operating income excludes any net gain or loss from discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, and other items that 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. A reconciliation of income before income taxes of the operating segments to pre-tax operating income (loss) is presented herein.

RGA evaluates its stockholder equity position excluding the impact of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) since the net unrealized gains or losses included in AOCI primarily relate to changes in interest rates, credit spreads on its investment securities and foreign currency fluctuations that are not permanent and can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Additionally, RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called operating return on equity, which is calculated as operating income divided by average shareholders’

equity excluding AOCI.

PRIOR PERIOD RECLASSIFICATIONS

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company further segmented the Canada; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Asia Pacific segments into traditional and non-traditional businesses to reflect the expanded product offerings within its geographic-based segments. The prior-period presentation has been adjusted to conform to the new segment reporting structure.

Effective December 2015, prior period balances have been updated to conform with current period presentation for the adoption of the accounting standard update "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs".
