Unum Group Reports First Quarter 2018 Results

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (May 1, 2018) - Unum Group (NYSE: UNM) today reported net income of $273.5 million ($1.23 per diluted common share) for the first quarter of 2018, compared to net income of $229.9 million ($1.00 per diluted common share) for the first quarter of 2017.

Included in net income are net after-tax realized investment gains and losses on the Company’s investment portfolio. Excluding net after-tax realized investment gains and losses, after-tax adjusted operating income was $275.1 million ($1.24 per diluted common share) in the first quarter of 2018. Net income, for the first quarter of 2017, also included a loss from a guaranty fund assessment related to an unaffiliated insurer that was declared insolvent of $20.6 million before tax and $13.4 million after tax ($0.06 per diluted common share). Excluding net after-tax realized investment gains and losses and the loss from the guaranty fund assessment, after-tax adjusted operating income was $236.1 million ($1.02 per diluted common share) in the first quarter of 2017.

“The first quarter was a solid start to the year, reflecting both a lower tax rate and a corresponding earnings per share growth rate of more than 20 percent. The fundamentals of our business remained strong and our overall performance largely aligned with our expectations, with good premium growth and overall stable benefits experience,” said Richard P. McKenney, president and chief executive officer. “We continue to look for ways to grow our business both organically and through targeted, strategic acquisitions.”

RESULTS BY SEGMENT

We measure and analyze our segment performance on the basis of "adjusted operating income" or "adjusted operating loss", which differ from income before income tax as presented in our consolidated statements of income due to the exclusion of net realized investment gains and losses and certain other items. These performance measures are in accordance with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, but they should not be viewed as a substitute for income before income tax or net income.

Unum US Segment

Unum US reported adjusted operating income of $243.9 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 2.0 percent from $239.1 million in the first quarter of 2017. Premium income for the segment increased 5.8 percent to $1,438.8 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to premium income of $1,360.4 million in the first quarter of 2017. Net investment income for the segment declined 4.1 percent to $194.2 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $202.5 million in the first quarter of 2017.

Within the Unum US operating segment, the group disability line of business reported a 6.4 percent decline in adjusted operating income to $83.0 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $88.7 million in the first quarter of 2017. Premium income in group disability increased 4.3 percent to $617.5 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $592.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, with growth in the in-force block resulting from prior period sales growth and improved persistency. Net investment income declined by 6.3 percent to $108.2 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $115.5 million in the first quarter of 2017, due to a decrease in the level of invested assets, a decline in portfolio yield, and slightly lower miscellaneous investment income. The benefit ratio for the first quarter of 2018 was 75.6 percent, compared to 76.6 percent in the first quarter of 2017, due primarily to favorable claim recovery experience in the group long-term disability product line, partially offset by higher claims incidence in the group short-term disability product line. Group long-term disability sales were $30.1 million in the first quarter of 2018, a decline of 16.4 percent from $36.0 million in the first quarter of 2017. Group short-term disability sales were $16.3 million in the first quarter of 2018, a decline of 3.6 percent from $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2017. Persistency in the group long-term disability line of business was 90.8 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 88.1 percent for the first quarter of 2017. Persistency in the group short-term disability line of business was 86.6 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 85.2 percent for the first quarter of 2017.

The group life and accidental death and dismemberment line of business reported adjusted operating income of $64.6 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 15.4 percent from $56.0 million in the first quarter of 2017. Premium income for this line of business increased 8.3 percent to $437.9 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $404.4 million in the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to sales growth and overall favorable persistency. Net investment income declined 2.9 percent to $26.8 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $27.6 million in the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to a decline in yield, partially offset by an increase in the level of invested assets and higher miscellaneous investment income. The benefit ratio in the first quarter of 2018 was 70.7 percent, compared to 71.9 percent in the first quarter of 2017, driven primarily

by favorable waiver of premium experience in the group life product line. Sales of group life and accidental death and dismemberment products increased 19.9 percent in the first quarter of 2018 to $44.6 million, compared to $37.2 million in the first quarter of 2017. Persistency in the group life line of business was 89.3 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 87.4 percent for the first quarter of 2017.

The supplemental and voluntary line of business reported an increase of 2.0 percent in adjusted operating income to $96.3 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $94.4 million in the first quarter of 2017. Premium income for supplemental and voluntary increased 5.4 percent to $383.4 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $363.7 million in the first quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily driven by growth in the voluntary benefits product line from higher sales and continued growth in the dental and vision product line from expanded distribution, offsetting a decline in premium income in the individual disability line. Net investment income declined 0.3 percent to $59.2 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $59.4 million in the first quarter of 2017, due to a decline in yield and lower miscellaneous investment income, which was partially offset by an increase in the level of invested assets. The benefit ratio for the individual disability product line was 51.0 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 54.6 percent for the first quarter of 2017, due to the favorable impact from the reinsurance agreement entered during the fourth quarter of 2016 whereby we ceded additional business in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of this agreement, benefits experience for the individual disability product line was generally consistent with the first quarter of 2017. The benefit ratio for voluntary benefits was 42.3 percent in the first quarter of 2018, compared to 42.2 percent for the first quarter of 2017, reflecting generally consistent claims experience between the two periods. The benefit ratio for dental and vision was 68.6 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 71.6 percent for the first quarter of 2017, primarily driven by lower average claim size. Relative to the first quarter of 2017, sales in the individual disability line of business increased 10.5 percent in the first quarter of 2018 to $17.9 million. Sales in the voluntary benefits line of business increased 4.2 percent in the first quarter of 2018 to $153.5 million. Sales in the dental and vision product line totaled $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 23.2 percent compared to the first quarter of 2017. Persistency in the individual disability product line was 90.7 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 91.1 percent for the first quarter of 2017. Persistency in the voluntary benefits product line was 76.9 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 75.9 percent for the first quarter of 2017. Persistency in the dental and vision product line was 85.0 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 83.4 percent for the first quarter of 2017.

Unum UK Segment

Unum UK reported adjusted operating income of $29.8 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 12.0 percent from $26.6 million in the first quarter of 2017. In local currency, adjusted operating income totaled £21.4 million in the first quarter of both 2018 and 2017.

Premium income increased by 15.1 percent to $139.6 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $121.3 million in the first quarter of 2017. In local currency, premium income was £100.3 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 2.5 percent from £97.9 million in the first quarter of 2017, primarily driven by

overall improved persistency and sales growth in the group critical illness and dental product lines. Net investment income was $27.6 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 3.8 percent from $26.6 million in the first quarter of 2017. In local currency, net investment income was £19.9 million in the first quarter of 2018, a decline of 7.0 percent from £21.4 million in the first quarter of 2017, due primarily to lower yield on fixed-rate bonds, partially offset by the increase in the level of invested assets. The benefit ratio in the first quarter of 2018 was 71.9 percent, compared to 71.4 percent in the first quarter of 2017, due primarily to unfavorable claims experience in the group life and critical illness product lines, partially offset by favorable claim resolutions in the group long-term disability product line.

Sales declined by 13.2 percent to $17.1 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $19.7 million in the first quarter of 2017. In local currency, sales for the first quarter of 2018 declined by 22.6 percent to £12.3 million, compared to £15.9 million in the first quarter of 2017. Persistency in the group long-term disability line of business was 86.7 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 84.2 percent for the first quarter of 2017. Persistency in the group life line of business was 85.5 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 82.0 percent for the first quarter of 2017. Persistency in the supplemental line of business was 91.5 percent for the first quarter of both 2018 and 2017.

Colonial Life Segment

Colonial Life reported a 1.7 percent decline in adjusted operating income to $81.0 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $82.4 million in the first quarter of 2017. Premium income for the first quarter of 2018 increased 6.4 percent to $398.3 million, compared to $374.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, driven by sales growth and solid persistency. Net investment income totaled $37.3 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $35.1 million in the first quarter of 2017, primarily driven by an increase in the level of invested assets and higher miscellaneous investment income, which were partially offset by a decline in portfolio yield. The benefit ratio in the first quarter of 2018 was 51.6 percent, compared to 50.8 percent in the first quarter of 2017, due primarily to higher claims incidence and a higher average claim size in the life line of business, partially offset by favorable claims experience in the accident, sickness and disability line of business.

Sales increased 7.6 percent to $103.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 from $96.4 million in the first quarter of 2017, driven by increased sales in all products and market segments. Persistency in Colonial Life was 79.0 percent for the first quarter of 2018, compared to 78.5 percent for the first quarter of 2017.

Closed Block Segment

The Closed Block segment reported adjusted operating income of $28.9 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared to $31.6 million in the first quarter of 2017.

Premium income for this segment declined 4.7 percent in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017, primarily due to policy terminations and maturities for the individual disability line of business. Premium income for long-term care decreased slightly due primarily to policy terminations, partially offset by rate increases. Net investment income increased 0.7 percent to $337.7 million in the first quarter of 2018,



UNUM IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK AND MARKETING BRAND OF UNUM GROUP AND ITS INSURING SUBSIDIARIES.		4

compared to $335.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, primarily driven by an increase in the level of invested assets, which was partially offset by a lower portfolio yield. The interest adjusted loss ratio for the individual disability line of business declined to 77.1 percent in the first quarter of 2018, compared to 83.6 percent in the first quarter of 2017, due primarily to a lower average size of new claims. The interest adjusted loss ratio for the long-term care line of business was 96.6 percent in the first quarter of 2018, compared to 88.6 percent in the first quarter of 2017, due primarily to higher claims incidence which was partially offset by favorable claim resolutions related to mortality experience. Also contributing to the higher interest adjusted loss ratio was less favorable policy terminations.

Corporate Segment

The Corporate segment reported an adjusted operating loss of $40.3 million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to an adjusted operating loss, including the loss from a guaranty fund assessment, of $60.4 million for the first quarter of 2017. The adjusted operating loss in the year ago first quarter, excluding the loss from the assessment, was $39.8 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We analyze our performance using non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure of "after-tax adjusted operating income" differs from net income as presented in our consolidated operating results and income statements prepared in accordance with GAAP due to the exclusion of net realized investment gains and losses and certain other items as specified in the reconciliations in the Financial Highlights section below. We believe adjusted operating income is a better performance measure and better indicator of the profitability and underlying trends in our business.

Realized investment gains or losses depend on market conditions and do not necessarily relate to decisions regarding the underlying business of our segments. Our investment focus is on investment income to support our insurance liabilities as opposed to the generation of realized investment gains or losses. Although we may experience realized investment gains or losses which will affect future earnings levels, a long-term focus is necessary to maintain profitability over the life of the business since our underlying business is long-term in nature, and we need to earn the interest rates assumed in calculating our liabilities.

We may at other times exclude certain other items from our discussion of financial ratios and metrics in order to enhance the understanding and comparability of our operational performance and the underlying fundamentals, but this exclusion is not an indication that similar items may not recur and does not replace net income or net loss as a measure of our overall profitability.

Information reconciling the Company’s outlook on after-tax adjusted operating income growth per share to the comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided. The only amounts excluded from after-tax adjusted operating income are those described in the preceding paragraphs. The Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty realized investment gains and losses, which are affected by overall market conditions and also by factors such as an economic or political change in the country of the issuer, a regulatory change pertaining to the issuer’s industry, a significant improvement or deterioration in the cash flows of the issuer, unforeseen accounting irregularities or fraud committed by an issuer, movement in credit spreads, ratings upgrades or downgrades, a change in the issuer’s marketplace or business prospects, or any other event that significantly affects the issuers of the fixed maturity securities which the Company holds in its investment portfolio.

Unum Group Financial Results by Segment

We measure and analyze our segment performance on the basis of "adjusted operating revenue" and "adjusted operating income" or "adjusted operating loss", which differ from total revenue and income before income tax as presented in our consolidated statements of income due to the exclusion of net realized investment gains and losses and certain other items as specified in the following pages. These performance measures are in accordance with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, but they should not be viewed as a substitute for total revenue, income before income tax, or net income.

Appendix to Statistical Supplement

2018 Significant Items

•

In January of 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Pramerica Zycie TUiR SA ("Pramerica"), a financial protection benefits provider in Poland. The acquisition of Pramerica will expand our European presence, which we believe to be an attractive market for financial protection benefits. The transaction, which we anticipate will close by the end of 2018 subject to customary approvals and closing conditions, is not expected to materially impact our results of operations or financial position for 2018 or alter our share repurchase and common stock dividend strategy.

•

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update that changed the accounting and disclosure requirements for certain financial instruments. These changes include a requirement to measure equity investments, other than those that result in consolidation or are accounted for under the equity method, at fair value through net income unless the investment qualifies for certain practicability exceptions. In addition, the update clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2018 which resulted in a decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $17.5 million, an increase to retained earnings of $14.5 million, a decrease to other long-term investments of $3.8 million, and a decrease to deferred income tax liability of $0.8 million.

2017 Significant Items


•	Fourth quarter of 2017 unclaimed death benefit reserve increase of $18.5 million for Unum US group life, $8.1 million for Unum US voluntary life and $12.4

million for Colonial Life voluntary life, for a total reserve increase of $39.0 million before tax and $25.4 million after tax.


•	Fourth quarter of 2017 net tax benefit of $31.5 million resulting from H.R.1, An Act to Provide Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent

Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018, more commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) enacted on December 22, 2017. This is comprised of

a tax benefit of $97.9 million related to the revaluation of our net deferred tax liabilities associated with our U.S. operations to the newly enacted U.S. corporate tax

rate and a tax expense of $66.4 million resulting from the tax on undistributed and previously untaxed foreign earnings and profits.


•	Fourth quarter of 2017 results for the Unum US individual disability product line reflects a reserve release of $19.5 million before tax and $12.7 million after tax,

resulting from our annual review of reserve adequacy which reflects the recognition of updated morbidity assumptions in our disabled life reserves.


•	First quarter of 2017 loss from a guaranty fund assessment of $20.6 million before tax and $13.4 million after tax.

2016 Significant Item

•

In August 2016, we acquired 100 percent of the shares and voting interests in H&J Capital, L.L.C., parent of Starmount Life Insurance Company and AlwaysCare Benefits (which collectively we refer to as Starmount) for a total cash purchase price of $140.3 million, plus contingent cash consideration of $10.0 million. Starmount Life Insurance Company is an independent provider of dental and vision insurance in the U.S. workplace, and AlwaysCare Benefits is a nationally licensed, third-party administrator.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We analyze our performance using non-GAAP financial measures which exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are better performance measures and better indicators of the revenue and profitability and underlying trends in our business:


•	Consolidated adjusted operating revenue, which excludes realized investment gains or losses;


•	After-tax adjusted operating income or loss, which excludes realized investment gains or losses and certain other items, as applicable;


•	Adjusted operating return on equity, which is calculated using after-tax adjusted operating income or loss and excludes from equity the unrealized gain or loss on securities and net gain on hedges;


•	Leverage ratio, which excludes the unrealized gain or loss on securities and net gain on hedges, and the non-recourse debt and associated capital of Northwind Holdings, LLC;


•	Book value per common share, which is calculated excluding AOCI; and


•	Benefit ratio for our Unum US individual disability product, adjusted for the reserve release in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Realized investment gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses on securities and net gains on hedges depend on market conditions and do not necessarily relate to decisions regarding the underlying business of our Company. Leverage ratio and book value per common share excluding certain components of AOCI, certain of which tend to fluctuate depending on market conditions and general economic trends, are important measures. We also exclude certain other items from our discussion of financial ratios and metrics in order to enhance the understanding and comparability of our operational performance and the underlying fundamentals, but this exclusion is not an indication that similar items may not recur and does not replace the comparable GAAP measures in the determination of overall profitability.

Information reconciling the Company’s outlook on after-tax adjusted operating income growth per share to the comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided. The only amounts excluded from after-tax adjusted operating income are those described in this Appendix to Statistical Supplement. The Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty realized investment gains and losses, which are affected by overall market conditions and also by factors such as an economic or political change in the country of the issuer, a regulatory change pertaining to the issuer’s industry, a significant improvement or deterioration in the cash flows of the issuer, unforeseen accounting irregularities or fraud committed by an issuer, movement in credit spreads, ratings upgrades or downgrades, a change in the issuer’s marketplace or business prospects, or any other event that significantly affects the issuers of the fixed maturity securities which the Company holds in its investment portfolio. For a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" beginning on page 16.2, other than book value per common share, which is presented on page 2.

⁽¹⁾Excludes net unrealized gain on securities and net gain on hedges and is calculated using the stockholders' equity balances presented on page 16.3. Due to the implementation of a Financial Accounting Standards Board update for which the beginning balance of 2018 for certain stockholders' equity line items were adjusted, we are computing the average allocated equity for 2018 using internally allocated equity that reflects the adjusted beginning balance at January 1, 2018. As a result, average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2018 for certain of our segments will not compute using the historical allocated equity at December 31, 2017.
