PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS
Des Moines, IA (August 1, 2005) - Principal Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: PFG)
today announced net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005, of $238.9
million, or $0.82 per diluted share compared to net income of $119.7 million, or
$0.37 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The company
reported record operating earnings of $221.0 million for second quarter 2005,
compared to $173.4 million for second quarter 2004. Operating earnings per
diluted share for second quarter 2005 were a record $0.76 compared to $0.54 for
the same period in 2004. Operating revenues for second quarter 2005 were
$2,190.8 million compared to $2,047.9 million for the same period last year.(1)
Highlights for the second quarter 2005 include:
o Record assets under management (AUM) of $187.8 billion, up 23 percent from
a year ago, including $33.7 billion, or 26 percent growth for U.S. Asset
Management and Accumulation.
o Record operating earnings of $221.0 million, up 27 percent from a year ago,
including a record $76.3 million of earnings for the Life and Health
Insurance segment and a record $19.1 million of earnings for International
Asset Management and Accumulation.(2)
o Continued strong sales of the company's key retirement and investment
products, including $833 million for mutual funds, $604 million for
individual annuities, and $1.2 billion for organic pension full service
accumulation.
"The Principal's record second quarter results, including 41 percent growth in
operating earnings per diluted share, reflect continued strong performance
across the organization, and effective capital management," said J. Barry
Griswell, chairman and chief executive officer. "Our consistent focus - on
innovative retirement and employee benefit solutions, investment performance and
choice, and exceptional service and convenience - is strengthening performance
across our businesses. Through mid-year, we've achieved double-digit earnings
growth in each of our operating segments, driving 20 percent improvement in
total company earnings compared to the first six months of 2004."
"Reflecting the competitive strength of our retirement and investment offerings,
total company assets under management are up $36 billion from a year ago," said
Griswell. "Principal Global Investors' third party institutional assets are up
$18 billion, or 65 percent, Pension account values have increased $13 billion,
or 16 percent, and Principal International's AUM is up $3.5 billion, or 42
percent."
"Our outstanding growth in assets under management has in turn driven improved
operating results over the longer-term. For the trailing twelve-month period,
total earnings for our U.S. and International Asset Management and Accumulation
segments have increased more than $80 million, or 16 percent, compared to the
same period a year ago," said Griswell. "We're also seeing increased strength in
our life and health insurance businesses. Earnings for the segment are up nearly
eight percent on a trailing twelve month basis, reflecting strong sales and
improving retention, particularly within our Specialty Benefits division."
3
Highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2005 include:
o Net income increased to $444.4 million, or $1.49 per diluted share compared
to $313.3 million, or $0.98 per diluted share during the same period a year
ago. The increase includes a $33.8 million after-tax gain in second quarter
2005 due to a recovery of previously impaired fixed maturity securities.
o Operating earnings increased 20 percent to $430.2 million, from $359.9
million in the year earlier period.
o Operating earnings per share increased 29 percent to $1.44 per diluted
share compared to $1.12 per diluted share during the same period a year
ago.
o Operating revenues increased 6 percent to $4,339.4 million from $4,091.1
million in the year earlier period.
SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS
U.S. ASSET MANAGEMENT AND ACCUMULATION
Segment operating earnings for second quarter 2005 were $130.5 million, compared
to $121.7 million for the same period in 2004. The improvement was largely
driven by a 10 percent increase in Pension Full Service Accumulation earnings,
which were $62.1 million in second quarter 2005 compared to $56.6 million in the
same period a year ago. The increase in full service accumulation earnings was
primarily the result of increased fees generated from higher account values.
Pension Full Service Accumulation account values were $71.0 billion as of June
30, 2005 compared to $59.0 billion as of June 30, 2004, with approximately $4
billion of the increase as a result of the fourth quarter 2004 acquisition of
ABN AMRO Trust Services Company.
Operating revenues for the second quarter increased 7 percent to $971.1 million
compared to $906.8 million for the same period in 2004. Revenues in the
Individual Annuity operations reached record levels, increasing $30.4 million
from a year ago, due to higher payout annuity premiums and higher investment
income from a larger asset base. Pension revenues increased $21.5 million, with
higher revenues from Pension Investment Only and Pension Full Service
Accumulation operations more than offsetting lower sales of single premium group
annuities. The single premium product, which is typically used to fund defined
benefit plan terminations, can generate large premiums from very few customers.
Because demand for the product is highly sensitive to interest rates, the volume
of product sales tends to vary from period to period. Excluding this product,
revenues for the segment increased 10 percent.
Segment assets under management continued to increase, reaching a record $161.3
billion as of June 30, 2005, up 8 percent from $149.6 billion as of March 31,
2005, and up 26 percent from $127.6 billion as of June 30, 2004.
INTERNATIONAL ASSET MANAGEMENT AND ACCUMULATION
Segment operating earnings for second quarter 2005 were a record $19.1 million,
compared to $9.3 million for second quarter 2004. $3.1 million of the increase
relates to higher fee revenues, due to continued strong growth in assets under
management. Three other primary contributors to increased earnings were: higher
inflation-linked investment yields in Chile; foreign currency strengthening; and
a tax benefit related to the second quarter repatriation of funds to the U.S.
parent under the American Jobs Creation Act.
Operating revenues were $158.2 million for second quarter 2005, compared to
$122.3 million for the same period last year. The increase primarily reflects
increased premium collections from payout annuities and higher inflation-linked
investment yields in Chile.
4
Assets under management for the segment were $11.8 billion as of June 30, 2005,
compared to $10.6 billion as of March 31, 2005, and compared to $8.3 billion as
of June 30, 2004.
LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE
Segment operating earnings for second quarter 2005 were a record $76.3 million,
compared to $56.9 million for the same period in 2004. The increase from a year
ago reflects: a $6.6 million benefit, primarily from methodology improvements
related to reinsurance values in the Individual Life division; strong growth and
favorable, but unsustainable loss ratios in the Specialty Benefits division; and
a return to more normal loss ratios in the Health division.
Operating revenues increased to a record $1,089.5 million for the quarter,
compared to $1,030.7 million for the same period in 2004. Specialty Benefits
division revenues increased $36.0 million, driven by strong sales and steady
retention in all of the specialty benefits product lines. Health revenues
increased $24.0 million, primarily due to higher premium per member and a 1.9
percent increase in group medical covered members. Individual Life revenues
decreased by $1.2 million, reflecting the company's continued shift in marketing
emphasis from traditional premium-based products to fee-based universal life and
variable universal life products. Unlike traditional premium-based products,
universal life and variable universal life premium are not reported as GAAP
revenue.
MORTGAGE BANKING
The operating earnings of the segment, prior to the July 1, 2004 sale of the
mortgage banking operations, reflect only the corporate overhead expenses
allocated to the segment. This is pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
("SFAS 144"), whereby all revenues and expenses (excluding corporate overhead
allocated to the discontinued segment) are reported as discontinued operations.
Based on this treatment, there was an operating loss of $5.4 million in the
prior year quarter, compared to no operating earnings for the segment in second
quarter 2005.
CORPORATE AND OTHER
Operating losses for second quarter 2005 were $4.9 million, compared to
operating losses of $9.1 million for the same period in 2004. Because the
corporate operations are varied, many items contributed to the variance. The
improvement primarily reflects higher earnings on excess capital and lower
interest expense on debt in second quarter 2005.
FORWARD LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation, statements as to sales targets, sales and earnings trends, and
management's beliefs, expectations, goals and opinions. These statements 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 December 31, 2004, and in the company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, filed by the company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties include, without
limitation: competitive factors; volatility of financial markets; decrease in
ratings; interest rate changes; inability to attract and retain sales
representatives; international business risks; foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations; and investment portfolio risks.
5
OUTLOOK FOR FULL YEAR 2005
Based on an estimated $20 million in 2005 for net realized/unrealized capital
losses, the company expects 2005 net income to range from $2.73 to $2.79 per
diluted share. The company expects 2005 operating earnings to range from $2.80
to $2.86 per diluted share.(3)
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The company uses a number of non-GAAP financial measures that management
believes are useful to investors because they illustrate the performance of our
normal, ongoing operations, which is important in understanding and evaluating
the company's financial condition and results of operations. They are not,
however, a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial measures. Therefore, the company
has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly
comparable U.S. GAAP measure at the end of the release. The company adjusts U.S.
GAAP measures for items not directly related to ongoing operations. However, it
is possible that these adjusting items have occurred in the past and could recur
in the future. Management also uses non-GAAP measures for goal setting,
determining employee and senior management awards and compensation, and
evaluating performance on a basis comparable to that used by investors and
securities analysts.
SHARE REPURCHASES
In May 2005, the company completed the $250 million share repurchase program
authorized by the Board in March 2005. Under this program, the company
repurchased 6.5 million shares for $250.0 million, an average price of $38.29
per share. In June 2005, following the Board's share repurchase authorization of
up to 15.0 million shares, the company entered into an accelerated stock
repurchase agreement with a third party investment bank for approximately 13.7
million shares of Principal Financial Group, Inc. common stock with an initial
payment of $542.3 million, using cash proceeds from the company's June issuance
of perpetual preferred stock. The transaction is subject to a market price
adjustment provision based on the volume weighted average market price over the
execution period.
STOCK OPTIONS
The Principal expenses employee stock options and the employee stock purchase
plan, resulting in an after-tax expense of $5.7 million and $10.5 million,
respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $6.1
million and $11.4 million, respectively for the three and six months ended June
30, 2004.

*OPERATING EARNINGS VERSUS U.S. GAAP (GAAP) NET INCOME
Management uses operating earnings, which excludes the effect of net
realized/unrealized capital gains and losses, as adjusted, and other after-tax
adjustments, for goal setting, determining employee compensation, and evaluating
performance on a basis comparable to that used by securities analysts. Segment
operating earnings are determined by adjusting U.S. GAAP net income for net
realized/unrealized capital gains and losses, as adjusted, and other after-tax
adjustments we believe are not indicative of overall operating trends. Other
after-tax adjustments have occurred in the past and could recur in future
reporting periods. While these items may be significant components in
understanding and assessing our consolidated financial performance, we believe
the presentation of segment operating earnings enhances the understanding of our
results of operations by highlighting earnings attributable to the normal,
ongoing operations of our businesses.

(1) Use of non-GAAP financial measures is discussed on page 4 of this release.
(2) Segment Highlights, beginning on page 2 of this release, discuss a number
of items benefiting second quarter 2005 operating earnings.
(3) While the Company's policy is not to provide quarterly updates to full year
earnings per share or net income per share expectations as the year
progresses, the Company may revisit guidance to ensure clarity if events or
changes in the environment occur during the year. Full year 2005 guidance
is based on certain assumptions, including domestic equity market
performance improvement of roughly 2% per quarter. Other items that we are
unable to predict could significantly affect net income such as: changes to
laws, regulations, or accounting standards; litigation; unrealized gains or
losses from mark-to-market adjustments related to hedging activities and
seed money investments; and gains or losses from discontinued operations.
