Forward looking and cautionary statements
This press release
contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation,
statements as to operating earnings, net income available to common
stockholders, net cash flows, realized and unrealized gains and losses,
capital and liquidity positions, sales and earnings trends, and
management's beliefs, expectations, goals and opinions. The company does
not undertake to update these statements, which are based on a number of
assumptions concerning future conditions that may ultimately prove to be
inaccurate. Future events and their effects on the company may not be
those anticipated, and actual results may differ materially from the
results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. The risks,
uncertainties and factors that could cause or contribute to such
material differences are discussed in the company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014, and in the company’s
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2015,
filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as
updated or supplemented from time to time in subsequent filings. These
risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: adverse capital and
credit market conditions may significantly affect the company’s ability
to meet liquidity needs, access to capital and cost of capital;
conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally;
continued volatility or declines in the equity, bond or real estate
markets; changes in interest rates or credit spreads; the company’s
investment portfolio is subject to several risks that may diminish the
value of its invested assets and the investment returns credited to
customers; the company’s valuation of securities may include
methodologies, estimations and assumptions that are subject to differing
interpretations; the determination of the amount of allowances and
impairments taken on the company’s investments requires estimations and
assumptions that are subject to differing interpretations; gross
unrealized losses may be realized or result in future impairments;
competition from companies that may have greater financial resources,
broader arrays of products, higher ratings and stronger financial
performance; a downgrade in the company’s financial strength or credit
ratings; inability to attract and retain sales representatives and
develop new distribution sources; international business risks; the
company’s actual experience could differ significantly from its pricing
and reserving assumptions; the company’s ability to pay stockholder
dividends and meet its obligations may be constrained by the limitations
on dividends or distributions Iowa insurance laws impose on Principal
Life; the pattern of amortizing the company’s DAC and other actuarial
balances on its universal life-type insurance contracts, participating
life insurance policies and certain investment contracts may change; the
company may need to fund deficiencies in its “Closed Block” assets that
support participating ordinary life insurance policies that had a
dividend scale in force at the time of Principal Life’s 1998 conversion
into a stock life insurance company; the company’s reinsurers could
default on their obligations or increase their rates; risks arising from
acquisitions of businesses; changes in laws, regulations or accounting
standards; a computer system failure or security breach could disrupt
the company’s business and damage its reputation; results of litigation
and regulatory investigations; from time to time the company may become
subject to tax audits, tax litigation or similar proceedings, and as a
result it may owe additional taxes, interest and penalties in amounts
that may be material; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
and applicable laws and the company’s certificate of incorporation and
by-laws may discourage takeovers and business combinations that some
stockholders might consider in their best interests.
