GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Formation of Genworth and Basis of Presentation

Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 23, 2003 in preparation for the corporate formation of certain insurance and related subsidiaries of the General Electric Company (“GE”) and an initial public offering of Genworth common stock, which was completed on May 28, 2004 (“IPO”). In connection with the IPO, Genworth acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of GE Financial Assurance Holdings, Inc. (“GEFAHI”). Prior to its IPO, Genworth was a wholly-owned subsidiary of GEFAHI, which was an indirect subsidiary of GE.

The accompanying condensed financial statements include on a consolidated basis the accounts of Genworth and our affiliate companies in which we hold a majority voting or economic interest, which we refer to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” unless the context otherwise requires. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We have the following three operating segments:

 

   

Retirement and Protection. We offer a variety of protection, wealth accumulation, retirement income and institutional investment products. Retail protection products include: life insurance, long-term care insurance and a linked-benefits product that combines long-term care insurance with universal life insurance. Additionally, as part of our senior market products and services, we offer Medicare supplement insurance along with wellness and care coordination services for our long-term care policyholders. Our wealth accumulation and retirement income products include: individual variable annuities, fixed deferred and immediate individual annuities, group variable annuities offered through retirement plans, and a variety of managed account programs, financial planning advisory services and mutual funds. Institutional products include: funding agreements, funding agreements backing notes (“FABNs”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”).

 

   

International. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan and multiple European countries, we are a leading provider of mortgage insurance products. We are the largest private mortgage insurer in most of our international markets. We also provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk basis, which aids in the sale of mortgages to the capital markets and helps lenders manage capital and risks. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate more efficiently and more effectively manage risk. We also offer payment protection coverages in multiple European countries, Canada and Mexico. Our payment protection insurance products help consumers meet specified payment obligations should they become unable to pay due to accident, illness, involuntary unemployment, disability or death.

 

   

U.S. Mortgage Insurance. In the U.S., we offer mortgage insurance products predominately insuring prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as “flow” mortgage insurance. We also have begun to increasingly provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk basis, with essentially all of our bulk writings prime-based. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate more efficiently and more effectively manage risk.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include debt financing expenses that are incurred at our holding company level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, eliminations of inter-segment transactions, the results of a small, non-core business that is managed outside our operating segments and our group life and health insurance business which was sold on May 31, 2007.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary by management to present a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flow for the periods presented. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2007 (reflecting our reorganized segment reporting structure and the effects of classifying our group life and health insurance business as discontinued operations).

(2) Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted

On December 31, 2006, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. Upon adoption, we recorded a $31 million reduction in comprehensive income on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006. However, the cumulative effect of change in accounting, net of tax, should have been recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2006, we reported total comprehensive income of $1,081 million. With this revised presentation, total comprehensive income would have been $1,112 million as of December 31, 2006. This revised presentation will be reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2007.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This guidance clarifies the criteria that must be satisfied to recognize the financial statement benefit of a position taken in our tax returns. The criteria for recognition in the consolidated financial statements set forth in FIN No. 48 require an affirmative determination that it is more likely than not, based on a tax position’s technical merits, that we are entitled to the benefit of that position.

Upon adoption of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $362 million, of which, $187 million, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate on continuing operations. As of January 1, 2007, we had accrued interest and penalties of $30 million in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. These amounts of interest and penalties relate to unrecognized tax benefits and are recognized as components of income tax expense.

We file U.S. federal income tax returns and various state and local and foreign income tax returns. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal or foreign income tax examinations for years prior to 2000. Potential state and local examinations for those years are generally restricted to results that are based on closed U.S. federal examinations. The Internal Revenue Service is currently reviewing our U.S. income tax returns for the 2000 through 2004 tax years and HM Revenue and Customs is currently reviewing our U.K. income tax returns for the 2000 through 2004 tax years. It is reasonably possible that the review of certain of our U.S. income tax returns will be completed in 2007 and the statute of limitations will close with respect to such returns. It is also reasonably possible that the field examination for certain other U.S. federal income tax returns will be completed in 2007 with the issuance of a Revenue Agent Report.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that in 2007, up to approximately $56 million of unrecognized tax benefits, related to individually immaterial items in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, will be recognized.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts. This statement provides guidance on accounting for deferred acquisition costs and other balances on an internal replacement, defined broadly as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages that occurs by the exchange of an existing contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to an existing contract, or by the election of a benefit, feature, right, or coverage within an existing contract. The adoption of SOP 05-1 resulted in the shortening of the period over which our group life and health insurance business deferred acquisition costs are amortized. Transition to the shorter amortization period resulted in a January 1, 2007 cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $54 million, net of tax. The cumulative effect of adoption of SOP 05-1 relates to our discontinued operations which we sold on May 31, 2007.

Not yet adopted

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for us on January 1, 2008. We do not expect SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This statement provides an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities, including insurance contracts, at fair value. SFAS No. 159 will be effective for us on January 1, 2008. We have not decided whether we will elect the fair value option for any financial assets or liabilities; and therefore, we do not know the impact, if any, SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2007, the AICPA issued SOP 07-1, Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies. This statement provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Guide”). For those entities that are investment companies under SOP 07-1, it also addresses when specialized industry accounting principles of the Guide should be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor that has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investment company and applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in the entity. In addition, SOP 07-1 includes certain disclosure requirements for parent companies and equity method investors in investment companies that retain Investment Company accounting in the parent company’s consolidated financial statements or the financial statements of an equity method investor. SOP 07-1 is effective for us on January 1, 2008. Management is reviewing SOP 07-1 to determine the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Sale of Group Life and Health Insurance Business

On May 31, 2007, we completed the sale of our group life and health insurance business for cash consideration of approximately $660 million. Accordingly, the business has been accounted for as discontinued operations and its results of operations, financial position and cash flows are separately reported for all periods presented. The sale resulted in a gain on sale of discontinued operations of $53 million, net of taxes.

(6) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Litigation

We face the risk of litigation and regulatory investigations and actions in the ordinary course of operating our businesses, including class action lawsuits. Our pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings specific to us and others generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which we operate. Plaintiffs in class action and other lawsuits against us may seek indeterminate amounts which may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if we ultimately

 

12


Table of Contents

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

prevail in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we could suffer reputational harm, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

(b) Commitments

As of June 30, 2007, we were committed to fund $222 million in U.S. commercial mortgage loan investments and $469 million in limited partnership investments.

(c) Accelerated Stock Repurchase

In May 2007, we repurchased 16.5 million shares of our Class A Common Stock under an accelerated share repurchase transaction with a broker-dealer counterparty for an initial aggregate purchase price of $600 million. We funded the purchase price with proceeds from the issuance and sale of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the settlement of purchase contracts that were components of our Equity Units. The repurchased shares will be held in treasury, until such time as they may be reissued or retired.

As part of this transaction, we simultaneously entered into a forward contract indexed to the price of our Class A Common Stock, which subjects the transaction to a future price adjustment. Upon settlement of the contract, which is scheduled to occur in October 2007, the price adjustment will be calculated based on the arithmetic mean of the volume weighted average price of our Class A Common Stock during the term of the agreement, less a discount. In the case where we are required to pay, the price adjustment may be settled in shares of Class A Common Stock or in cash at our option. In the case where the broker-dealer counterparty is required to pay, the price adjustment may only be settled in shares of Class A Common Stock.

(d) Pending Acquisition

On July 18, 2007, we entered into an agreement to acquire Liberty Reverse Mortgage, Inc., an independent reverse mortgage lender, for $50 million plus additional contingent consideration. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2007.

(7) Borrowings and Other Financings

Commercial Paper Facility

We have a $1.0 billion commercial paper program. The notes under the commercial paper program are offered pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and may have a maturity of up to 364 days from the date of issue. During the first quarter of 2007, we issued $50 million of commercial paper. During the second quarter of 2007, we reduced the outstanding balance of our commercial paper by $50 million. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the weighted average interest rate on commercial paper outstanding was 5.2% and the weighted average maturity was 28 days and 37 days, respectively.

Long-term Senior Notes

In June 2007, we issued senior notes having an aggregate principal amount of $350 million, with an interest rate equal to 5.65% per year payable semi-annually, and maturing in June 2012 (“2012 Notes”). The 2012 Notes are our direct, unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2012 Notes, at any time with

 

13


Table of Contents

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

proper notice to the note holders at a price equal to the greater of 100% of principal or the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest discounted at the then-current treasury rate plus an applicable spread. The net proceeds of $349 million from the issuance of the 2012 Notes were used to partially repay $500 million of our senior notes which matured in June 2007, with the remainder repaid with cash on hand.

Equity Units

In May 2007, Equity Unit holders purchased 25.5 million of newly issued shares of our Class A Common Stock equal to the settlement rate specified in the stock purchase contract component of the Equity Units for $600 million. In May 2007, we also remarketed the senior notes underlying our Equity Units pursuant to their terms. The interest rate on the senior notes was reset to 5.231%.

Non-recourse Funding Obligations

In April 2007, River Lake Insurance Company IV Limited (“River Lake IV”), a Bermuda long-term insurance company wholly-owned by Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company (“GLAIC”), itself an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Genworth, issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of floating rate guaranteed notes due 2028 (the “Guaranteed Notes”) and $40 million in aggregate principal amount of floating rate subordinated notes due 2028 (the “Subordinated Notes” and, together with the Guaranteed Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, which by its terms requires River Lake IV to pledge substantially all of its available assets to the indenture trustee as collateral for the Notes.

River Lake IV may issue additional series of its floating rate guaranteed notes up to an aggregate principal amount of $925 million (including the Notes). The Notes are direct financial obligations of River Lake IV and are not guaranteed by GLAIC or Genworth. A third-party financial guaranty insurance company (the “Insurer”) will insure the timely payment of scheduled interest payments and the repayment of principal on May 25, 2028 on all series of the floating rate guaranteed notes, including the Guaranteed Notes.

The Notes were issued by River Lake IV to primarily fund statutory reserves for policies subject to Valuation of Life Insurance Policies Regulation (more commonly known as “Regulation XXX”) and its predecessor regulations. River Lake IV has reinsured from GLAIC, on a coinsurance basis, certain term life insurance policies written or reinsured by GLAIC.

The holders of the Notes cannot require payment of principal or interest on the Notes from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than River Lake IV, the direct issuer of the Notes. River Lake IV will pay interest on the principal amount of the Notes on a monthly basis. The holders of the Notes will have the right to accelerate payment of principal of the Notes, subject to applicable notice and cure provisions, in the event of River Lake IV’s or the Insurer’s nonpayment of amounts due with respect to the Guaranteed Notes, River Lake IV’s bankruptcy or insolvency, the failure of the security interest in the collateral granted by River Lake IV to the indenture trustee to be perfected, the nonpayment by River Lake IV of amounts due to the Insurer, the breach in any material respect of River Lake IV’s representations or warranties, or the breach by River Lake IV of any material covenant. River Lake IV reserves the right to redeem the Notes at any time, subject to the terms of the Notes.

In June 2007, River Lake Insurance Company II (“River Lake II”), a special purpose financial captive insurance company wholly-owned by GLAIC, issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of floating rate surplus notes due 2035. This transaction represented the third and final issuance of surplus notes by River Lake II, bringing the total aggregate principal amount of surplus notes issued by River Lake II to $850 million.

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the weighted average interest rate on our non-recourse funding obligations was 5.4%. The non-recourse funding obligations bear variable interest rates and their carrying value approximates fair value as of June 30, 2007.

Revolving Credit Facilities

We have a $1.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility that matures in May 2012 (as extended during the second quarter of 2007 pursuant to the terms of the facility) and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility that matures in April 2010. These facilities bear variable interest rates based on one-month LIBOR plus a margin. As of June 30, 2007, we had no borrowings under these facilities; however, we utilized $172 million of the commitment under these facilities for the issuance of a letter of credit primarily for the benefit of one of our U.S. Mortgage Insurance subsidiaries.

Commercial Mortgage Loan Repurchase Facility

In March 2007, Genworth Financial Commercial Mortgage Warehouse LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Genworth, entered into a $300 million repurchase facility maturing March 22, 2010. The facility may be permanently increased to $500 million upon 30-days’ advance written notice. The sole purpose of this facility is to finance the purchase of commercial mortgage loans with the intent to securitize such loans in the future. As of June 30, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.

(8) Segment Information

On January 9, 2007, we announced a significant organizational repositioning to more directly align high growth retirement and protection, international and mortgage insurance business opportunities. Additionally, our group life and health insurance business, previously included in our former Protection segment, is now included in Corporate and Other activities. The following discussion reflects our reorganized operating segments for all periods presented.

We conduct our operations in three operating business segments: (1) Retirement and Protection, which includes our managed money products and services, retirement income products, institutional products, life insurance and long-term care insurance; (2) International, which includes international mortgage insurance and payment protection insurance; and (3) U.S. Mortgage Insurance, which includes mortgage-related products and services that facilitate homeownership by enabling borrowers to buy homes with low-down-payment mortgages. We also have Corporate and Other activities which include interest and other debt financing expenses, other corporate income and expenses not allocated to the segments, eliminations of inter-segment transactions and the results of a small, non-core business that is managed outside of our operating segments. Our group life and health insurance business, which we agreed to sell in January 2007, was accounted for as discontinued operations and included in Corporate and Other activities. This business was sold on May 31, 2007.

We allocate invested assets, net investment income and net investment gains (losses) from Corporate and Other activities to our Retirement and Protection segment using an approach based principally upon the investment portfolios established to support the segment’s products and targeted capital levels. We do not allocate invested assets, net investment income and net investment gains (losses) from Corporate and Other activities to our International or U.S. Mortgage Insurance segments because they have their own separate investment portfolios.

We use the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment income and assets as our consolidated net income and assets. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of “net operating income.” We define net operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding after-tax net investment gains (losses) and other adjustments and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. We exclude net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments and Corporate and Other activities. A significant component of our net investment gains (losses) are the result of credit-related impairments and credit-related gains and losses, the timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) are often subject to our discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. While some of these items may be significant components of net income in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that net operating income, and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. However, net operating income (loss) is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of net operating income may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

There were no infrequent or unusual non-operating items excluded from net operating income during the periods presented other than a $14 million after-tax expense recorded in the first quarter of 2007 related to our segment reorganization costs.

Overview

Our business

We are a leading financial security company in the U.S. with an expanding international presence. We have three operating segments: Retirement and Protection, International and U.S. Mortgage Insurance.

On January 9, 2007, we announced a significant organizational repositioning to more directly align high growth retirement and protection, international and mortgage insurance business opportunities. Additionally, our group life and health insurance business, previously included in our Protection segment, is now included in Corporate and Other activities. This business was sold on May 31, 2007. The following discussion reflects our reorganized operating segments.

 

   

Retirement and Protection. We offer a variety of protection, wealth accumulation, retirement income and institutional investment products. Retail protection products include: life insurance, long-term care insurance and a linked-benefits product that combines long-term care insurance with universal life insurance. Additionally, as part of our senior market products and services, we offer Medicare supplement insurance along with wellness and care coordination services for our long-term care policyholders. Our wealth accumulation and retirement income products include: individual variable annuities, fixed deferred and immediate individual annuities, group variable annuities offered through retirement plans, and a variety of managed account programs, financial planning advisory services and mutual funds. Institutional products include: funding agreements, funding agreements backing notes (“FABNs”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”). For the three months ended June 30, 2007, our Retirement and Protection segment’s net income and net operating income were $153 million and $180 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our Retirement and Protection segment’s net income and net operating income were $326 million and $365 million, respectively.

 

   

International. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan and multiple European countries, we are a leading provider of mortgage insurance products. We are the largest private mortgage insurer in most of our international markets. We also provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk basis, which aids in the sale of mortgages to the capital markets and helps lenders manage capital and risks. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate more efficiently and more effectively manage risk. We also offer payment protection coverages in multiple European countries, Canada and Mexico. Our payment protection insurance products help consumers meet specified payment obligations should they become unable to pay due to accident, illness, involuntary unemployment, disability or death. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, our International segment’s net income and net operating income were $139 million and $142 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our International segment’s net income and net operating income were $262 million and $265 million, respectively.

 

   

U.S. Mortgage Insurance. In the U.S., we offer mortgage insurance products predominantly insuring prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as “flow” mortgage insurance. We also have begun to increasingly provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk basis, with essentially all of our bulk writings prime-based. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate more efficiently and more effectively manage risk. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment’s net income and net operating income were both $66 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment’s net income and net operating income were both $131 million.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include debt financing expenses that are incurred at our holding company level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, eliminations of inter-segment transactions,

the results of a small, non-core business that is managed outside our operating segments and our group life and health insurance business, which we agreed to sell in January 2007 and was accounted for as discontinued operations. This business was sold on May 31, 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Corporate and Other had both a loss from continuing operations and a net operating loss of $37 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Corporate and Other had a loss from continuing operations and a net operating loss of $84 million and $70 million, respectively.

Trends and conditions affecting our segments

Retirement and Protection

Managed money. We offer asset management products to individual investors and support services for independent broker-dealers and registered investment advisors. The asset management industry is witnessing rapid increases of independent broker-dealer representatives and registered investment advisors, as registered representatives are leaving large national firms to join these independent firms or form their own firms. These new small firms need client and back office support services and access to technology. Further, individuals are increasingly transferring their assets to separately managed products. We expect these trends to continue and possibly accelerate in the future. As a result of these trends, we have expanded our presence in this market with the October 2006 acquisition of AssetMark Investment Services, Inc. (“AssetMark”), a leading provider of open architecture asset management solutions to independent financial advisors. Our asset management products consist of separately managed accounts and managed mutual fund accounts. We receive a management fee based upon the amount of assets under management. The results of our asset management business are a function of net flows and investment performance of assets under management, which are influenced by the relative performance of our products’ underlying investments and the overall equity market environment.

Retirement income. Results for our retirement income business are affected by investment performance, interest rate levels, slope of the interest rate yield curve, net interest spreads, equity market fluctuations, mortality and the impact of new product sales and lapses. In addition, our competitive position within many of our distribution channels, as well as our ability to retain business, depends significantly upon product features, including current and minimum crediting rates on spread-based products relative to our competitors, surrender charge periods in fixed annuities as well as guaranteed features we offer in variable products. We continually evaluate our competitive position based upon each of those features, and we make adjustments as appropriate to meet our target return thresholds.

The current interest rate environment coupled with the relatively flat shape of the yield curve has reduced the attractiveness of some fixed annuities relative to investment alternatives, such as certificates of deposit. This interest rate and yield curve environment has had an adverse impact on both sales and retention of fixed annuities with the latter resulting in an acceleration of the amortization of related deferred acquisition costs. In recent quarters, we have experienced improved spreads in fixed annuities associated with the runoff and crediting rate resets of lower return business. We expect these trends to continue.

We continue to focus on our Income Distribution Series of variable annuity products and riders. We have witnessed a decline in defined benefit retirement plans in favor of defined contribution plans with more of the responsibility for retirement income planning falling on the individual. Additionally, U.S. savings rates are at historical lows. We believe these factors support demand for individual and group retirement income products that provide various forms of guaranteed benefits with the opportunity to realize upside market performance. Our Income Distribution Series provides the contractholder with the ability to receive a guaranteed minimum income stream that they cannot outlive, along with an opportunity to participate in market appreciation. However, through various techniques, these products are designed to reduce some of our risks that generally accompany traditional products with guaranteed living benefits. We are targeting individuals who are focused on building a personal portable retirement plan or are moving from the accumulation to the distribution phase of their retirement planning.

Life insurance. Results in our life insurance business are impacted by sales, mortality, persistency, investment yields and statutory reserve requirements. Additionally, sales of our products are dependent on competitive product features and pricing, distribution penetration and customer service. Valuation of Life Insurance Policies Regulation (more commonly known as “Regulation XXX”) requires insurers to establish additional statutory reserves for term life insurance policies with long-term premium guarantees, which increases the capital required to write these products. For term life insurance, we have implemented capital management actions that improve our new business returns and have, in part, enabled us to decrease our premium rates.

Several competitors have taken similar capital management actions. Additionally, we have seen some competitors lower their term life insurance prices, which has made the market more competitive. We have also experienced a shift in focus by our distributors from term life insurance to universal life insurance products. In response to this shift in focus by our distributors, we are building our universal life capabilities and maintaining a disciplined approach to term life insurance pricing. Our sales levels and returns on new term life insurance business have been and may continue to be impacted by the increased competition and shift in distribution focus.

Long-term care insurance. Results of our long-term care insurance business are influenced by morbidity, persistency, investment yields, new product sales, expenses and reinsurance. Industry-wide annualized first-year premiums of individual long-term care insurance increased approximately 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, according to data published by LIMRA International. Our sales growth over the past year in a challenging market reflects the breadth of our distribution and progress across multiple growth initiatives with an emphasis on broadening our product offerings. For example, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, we have experienced sales growth in our recently introduced linked-benefits product. In addition, in July 2007, AARP selected us as its provider to offer new long-term care insurance products to its approximately 38 million members. However, the continued low interest rate environment and the impact of lower termination rates on older issued policies, some with expiring reinsurance coverage, are causing higher benefits and other changes in policy reserves, resulting in lower net operating income. In response to these trends, we will continue to pursue multiple growth initiatives, continue investing in case management improvements, maintain tight expense management, actively explore reinsurance and capital market solutions, execute investment strategies and, if appropriate, consider other actions to improve profitability of the block. On July 26, 2007, we announced our plans to file for a premium rate increase of between 8% and 12% on most of our block of older issued long-term care insurance policies. This block represents approximately $700 million, or 40%, of our total annual long-term care insurance premium in-force.

International

International mortgage insurance. The results of our international mortgage insurance business are affected by changes in regulatory environments, employment and other economic and housing market trends, including interest rate trends, home price appreciation, mortgage origination volume, levels of mortgage delinquencies and movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our international mortgage insurance business has continued to expand with favorable operating results. We expect that the growth of our established international mortgage insurance business and our entry into new international markets will continue to contribute an increasing portion of this segment’s total revenues and profits.

As a result of the expansion of our international business in recent years, as of June 30, 2007, approximately 61% of our international risk in-force has not yet reached its anticipated highest claim frequency years, which are generally between the third and seventh year of the loan. We expect our loss experience on these loans will increase as these books of business continue to mature.

Payment protection insurance. Growth of our payment protection insurance business is dependent on economic conditions including consumer lending levels, client account penetration and the number of countries and markets we enter. Additionally, the types and mix of our products will vary based on regulatory and consumer acceptance of our products. Our payment protection insurance business continues to show growth from increased penetration of existing relationships and the addition of new distribution relationships in existing and new countries.

U.S. Mortgage Insurance

The results of our U.S. mortgage insurance business are affected by employment and other economic and housing markets trends, including interest rate trends, home price appreciation, mortgage origination volume and the levels and aging of mortgage delinquencies including seasonal trends.

We believe the demand for flow private mortgage insurance increased during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. This increase was driven by a number of market conditions, which included: increased regulatory and market focus on credit risk, tightened underwriting standards, an increase in the volume of mortgages purchased by the government-sponsored entities (“GSE”), the decline in simultaneous second mortgages and mortgage insurance tax deductibility. The bulk mortgage insurance market is increasing as a percentage of the overall primary mortgage insurance market, which we believe is driven, in part, by an increase in GSE Alt-A penetration, portfolio transactions which have increased recently driven by regulatory pressure on lenders to decrease the risk in their mortgage loan portfolios, as well as an increase in non-prime mortgage-backed security issuances. We have increased our participation in selected segments of the bulk market where we believe we will be able to meet our targeted risk-adjusted returns and continue to evaluate additional opportunities this market presents.

The recent rise in interest rates and lower or negative home price appreciation in the U.S. have contributed to rising persistency rates. The persistency rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 78%, which represents the highest persistency rate we have experienced in more than six years.

Primary insurance in-force increased from $120.5 billion as of March 31, 2007 to $135.5 billion as of June 30, 2007, which is our sixth sequential quarter increase of primary insurance in-force. In addition, net earned premiums have grown from $232 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $285 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. These increases in primary insurance in-force and net earned premiums reflect an increase in both our flow and bulk product writings as a result of increased demand for private mortgage insurance as well as higher persistency. We believe that the increased demand for private mortgage insurance, sustained higher interest rates, increased persistency and our ongoing growth strategy will lead to growing levels of insurance in-force and related net earned premiums.

We believe that the U.S. economy overall remains relatively strong based on continued gross domestic product growth and low levels of unemployment. However, we also believe that the U.S. housing market has slowed and the rate of home price appreciation has declined or turned negative in the majority of markets. In addition, there has been a significant increase in the default levels in the adjustable rate sub-prime market, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, which we believe has resulted in an increase in housing supply levels and has further pressured home price appreciation. Over 90% of our primary risk in-force in the U.S. is considered prime, based on FICO credit scores of the underlying mortgage loans. Continued low or negative home price appreciation may cause further increases in our incurred losses and the related loss ratio.

The Great Lakes region has experienced an economic slowdown and has seen a more pronounced weakness in their housing markets as well as a decline in home prices. While our portfolio concentration in the Great Lakes region is less than 10% of our total risk in-force, this region’s weakness has contributed disproportionately to the increase in our U.S. paid losses. In addition, throughout the U.S., we have experienced an increase in the average loan balance of mortgage loan delinquencies and we have seen increases in loan delinquencies in some of the higher loan balance states including Florida, California, Arizona and several Northeastern states. These factors have both contributed to an increase in our incurred losses.

As a result of the significant U.S. refinancing activity since 2002, as of June 30, 2007, approximately 65% of our U.S. risk in-force had not yet reached its anticipated highest claim frequency years, which are generally between the third and seventh year of the loan. We expect our loss experience on these loans will increase as these books of business continue to mature.

Premiums. Premiums consist primarily of premiums earned on insurance products for individual life, long-term care, Medicare supplement, single premium immediate annuities and structured settlements with life contingencies, payment protection and mortgage insurance policies.

 

   

Our International segment increased $36 million as a result of a $44 million increase in our international mortgage insurance business, partially offset by a decrease of $8 million from our payment protection insurance business. The three months ended June 30, 2007 included an increase of $33 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

   

Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment increased $32 million.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $3 million primarily due to a $40 million increase in our long-term care insurance business and a $12 million increase in our life insurance business, offset by a $49 million decrease in our retirement income business.

Net investment income. Net investment income represents the income earned on our investments.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased driven largely by higher invested assets as a result of an increase in assets under management in our institutional business, the investment of net insurance cash flows attributable to growth of our long-term care and life insurance in-force blocks and an

 

23


Table of Contents
 

increase related to securities purchased using proceeds from the issuance of non-recourse funding obligations supporting certain term and universal life insurance reserves.

 

   

Our International segment increased as a result of higher invested assets from the investment of net insurance cash flows primarily related to the growth in the international mortgage insurance in-force and additional cash from capital contributions. The three months ended June 30, 2007 included an increase of $8 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

   

Additionally, higher net investment income was due to an increase in weighted average investment yields to 5.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 5.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in weighted average investment yields was primarily attributable to increased investment income from bond calls and increased yields on floating rate investments supporting floating rate policyholder and non-recourse funding liabilities. This increase was partially offset by a decline in yield related to commercial mortgage loans primarily as a result of a favorable adjustment to our commercial mortgage loan loss reserves in the prior year.

 

   

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 included $27 million of investment income from bond calls, commercial mortgage loan prepayments and limited partnership investments as compared to $35 million in investment income from a reduction in commercial mortgage loan loss reserves, bond calls, commercial mortgage loan prepayments and limited partnership investments in the prior year.

Net investment gains (losses). Net investment gains (losses) consist of realized gains and (losses) from the sale or impairment of our investments, unrealized and realized gains and (losses) from our trading securities, fair value hedging relationships, non-qualifying derivatives and embedded derivatives. For a discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

Insurance and investment product fees and other. Insurance and investment product fees and other consist primarily of fees assessed against policyholder and contractholder account values, cost of insurance and surrender charges assessed on universal life insurance policies, advisory and administration service fees assessed on investment contractholder account values, broker-dealer commission revenues and other fees.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $49 million driven by a $35 million increase in our managed money business, a $9 million increase in our life insurance business and an $8 million increase from our retirement income business.

 

   

Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment increased $2 million.

 

   

Our International segment decreased $5 million related to our international mortgage insurance business.

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves. Benefits and other changes in policy reserves consist primarily of benefits paid and reserve activity related to current claims and future policy benefits on insurance and investment products for life, long-term care and Medicare supplement insurance, structured settlements and single premium immediate annuities with life contingencies, payment protection insurance and claim costs incurred related to mortgage insurance products.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $44 million attributable to a $59 million increase in our long-term care insurance business and a $31 million increase in our life insurance business, offset by a $46 million decrease in our retirement income business.

 

   

Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment increased $36 million.

 

   

Our International segment increased $32 million as a result of an increase in our international mortgage insurance business of $35 million, partially offset by a decrease of $3 million in our payment protection insurance business.

Interest credited. Interest credited represents interest credited on behalf of policyholder and contractholder general account balances. Interest credited related to our Retirement and Protection segment increased $13 million primarily due to a $26 million increase related to our institutional business, partially offset by a $17 million decrease in our retirement income business.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals. Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, represent costs and expenses related to the acquisition and ongoing maintenance of insurance and investment contracts, including commissions, policy issuance expenses and other underwriting and general operating costs. These costs and expenses are net of amounts that are capitalized and deferred, which are primarily costs and expenses that vary with and are primarily related to the sale and issuance of our insurance policies and investment contracts, such as first-year commissions in excess of ultimate renewal commissions and other policy issuance expenses.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $14 million attributable to an increase of $26 million from our managed money business, partially offset by a decrease in our long-term care insurance business of $6 million and a decrease of $4 million in our life insurance business.

 

   

Our International segment increased $3 million. The three months ended June 30, 2007 included an increase of $12 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

   

Corporate and Other activities decreased $5 million.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles. Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles consists primarily of the amortization of acquisition costs that are capitalized, present value of future profits and capitalized software.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $6 million due to an increase in our long-term care insurance business.

The three months ended June 30, 2007 included an increase of $3 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The decrease in effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the increase in lower taxed foreign income, partially offset by a decrease in tax-exempt investment income.

Net income. The increase in net income reflects increases in our International segment and Retirement and Protection segment net income offset by a decrease in our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment and an increase in our Corporate and Other activities net operating loss, as discussed under “—Results of Operations by Segment.” Included in net income was an increase of $10 million, net of tax, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Additionally, we completed the sale of our group life and health insurance business in the second quarter of 2007. The sale resulted in a gain on sale of discontinued operations of $53 million, net of taxes.

Premiums

 

   

Our International segment increased $107 million as a result of an $86 million increase in our international mortgage insurance business and an increase of $21 million from our payment protection insurance business. The six months ended June 30, 2007 included an increase of $65 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

   

Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment increased $53 million.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $51 million primarily due to a $100 million increase in our long-term care insurance business and a $26 million increase in our life insurance business, offset by a $75 million decrease in our retirement income business.

Net investment income

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased largely driven by higher invested assets as a result of an increase in assets under management in our institutional business, the investment of net insurance cash flows attributable to growth of our long-term care and life insurance in-force blocks and an increase related to securities purchased using proceeds from the issuance of non-recourse funding obligations supporting certain term and universal life insurance reserves.

Table of Contents
   

Our International segment increased as a result of higher invested assets from the investment of net insurance cash flows primarily related to the growth in the international mortgage insurance in-force and additional cash from capital contributions. The six months ended June 30, 2007 included an increase of $12 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

   

Additionally, higher net investment income was due to an increase in weighted average investment yields to 5.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in weighted average investment yields was primarily attributable to increased yields on floating rate investments supporting floating rate policyholder and non-recourse funding liabilities and increased investment income from bond calls. This increase was partially offset by a decline in yield related to commercial mortgage loans primarily as a result of a favorable adjustment to our commercial mortgage loan loss reserves in the prior year.

 

   

Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included $40 million of investment income from bond calls, commercial mortgage loan prepayments and limited partnership investments as compared to $54 million in investment income from a reduction in commercial mortgage loan loss reserves, bond calls, commercial mortgage loan prepayments and limited partnership investments in the prior year.

Net investment gains (losses). For a discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

Insurance and investment product fees and other

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $103 million primarily driven by a $69 million increase in our managed money business, a $19 million increase in our life insurance business and a $16 million increase from our retirement income business.

 

   

Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment increased $4 million.

 

   

Our International segment decreased $8 million related to our international mortgage insurance business.

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $132 million as a result of a $143 million increase in our long-term care insurance business and a $44 million increase in our life insurance business, offset by a $55 million decrease in our retirement income business.

 

   

Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment increased $69 million.

 

   

Our International segment increased $64 million driven by an increase in our international mortgage insurance business of $57 million and an increase of $7 million in our payment protection insurance business. The six months ended June 30, 2007 included an increase of $14 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Interest credited. Interest credited related to our Retirement and Protection segment increased $26 million primarily due to a $53 million increase related to our institutional business, partially offset by a $36 million decrease in our retirement income business.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $37 million primarily attributable to an increase of $49 million from our managed money business, offset by a decrease of $9 million in our life insurance business and a decrease in our long-term care insurance business of $3 million.

Corporate and Other activities increased $10 million.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles

Our International segment increased $14 million primarily from our payment protection insurance business.

 

   

Corporate and Other activities increased $14 million.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to 30.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 31.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The six months ended June 30, 2007 included an increase of $3 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower taxed foreign income and a favorable examination development, partially offset by a decrease in tax-exempt investment income.

Net income. The increase in net income reflects increases in our International segment and Retirement and Protection segment net income offset by a decrease in our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment and an increase in our Corporate and Other activities net operating loss, as discussed under “—Results of Operations by Segment.” Included in net income was an increase of $14 million, net of tax, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Additionally, we completed the sale of our group life and health insurance business in the second quarter of 2007. The sale resulted in a gain on sale of discontinued operations of $53 million, net of taxes.

Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment

Our chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of “net operating income.” We define net operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding after-tax net investment gains (losses) and other adjustments and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. We exclude net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments and Corporate and Other activities. A significant component of our net investment gains (losses) are the result of credit-related impairments and credit-related gains and losses, the timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) are often subject to our discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. While some of these items may be significant components of net income in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that net operating income, and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. However, net operating income (loss) is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of net operating income may differ from the definitions used by other companies. See note 8 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a reconciliation of net operating income (loss) of our segments and Corporate and Other activities to net income.

Related to our payment protection insurance business in our International segment, there were reclassifications of certain reinsured assumed business from reinsurance accounting to the deposit method of accounting (“reinsurance accounting change”) in the fourth quarter of 2006. Prior year amounts have not been reclassified, as such amounts were not material to our consolidated financial statements. The reclassification impacted premiums, net investment income, benefits and other changes in policy reserves and interest expense; however, it had no impact on net income or net operating income for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

Management’s discussion and analysis by segment also contains selected operating performance measures including “sales,” “assets under management” and “insurance in-force” or “risk in-force” which are commonly used in the insurance and investment industries as measures of operating performance.

Management regularly monitors and reports sales metrics as a measure of volume of new and renewal business generated in a period. Sales refers to (1) annualized first-year premiums for term life insurance, long-term care insurance and Medicare supplement insurance; (2) new and additional premiums/deposits for universal life insurance, linked-benefits, spread-based and variable products; (3) gross flows and net flows, which represent gross flows less redemptions, for our managed money business; (4) written premiums and deposits, gross of ceded reinsurance and cancellations, and premium equivalents, where we earn a fee for administrative services only business, for payment protection insurance; (5) new insurance written for mortgage insurance, which in each case reflects the amount of business the company generated during each period presented; and (6) written premiums net of cancellations for our Mexican insurance operations. Sales do not include renewal premiums on policies or contracts written during prior periods. We consider annualized first-year premiums, new premiums/deposits, gross and net flows, written premiums, premium equivalents and new insurance written to be a measure of our operating performance because they represent a measure of new sales of insurance policies or contracts during a specified period, rather than a measure of our revenues or profitability during that period.

Management regularly monitors and reports assets under management for our managed money business, insurance in-force and risk in-force. Assets under management for our managed money business represent third-party assets under management that are not consolidated in our financial statements. Insurance in-force for our life insurance, international mortgage insurance and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses is a measure of the aggregate face value of outstanding insurance policies as of the respective reporting date. Risk in-force for our international mortgage insurance and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses is a measure that recognizes that the loss on any particular mortgage loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the underlying property. We consider assets under management for our managed money business, insurance in-force and risk in-force to be a measure of our operating performance because they represent a measure of the size of our business at a specific date, rather than a measure of our revenues or profitability during that period.

These operating measures enable us to compare our operating performance across periods without regard to revenues or profitability related to policies or contracts sold in prior periods or from investments or other sources.

Our managed money business increased $5 million primarily due to our fourth quarter of 2006 acquisition of AssetMark, growth in our assets under management in our existing platforms and favorable equity market performance.

 

31


Table of Contents
   

Our retirement income business increased $5 million mainly the result of an increase in income from fee-based products as a result of growth in assets under management of our Income Distribution Series of variable annuity products and riders and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by lower municipal GIC advisory fees and lower spread-based retail assets under management from withdrawals of older issued blocks more than offsetting new deposits as crediting rates are being reset to lower rates.

 

   

Our institutional business decreased $3 million attributable to prior year favorable investment income items that did not recur in the current year, partially offset by growth in assets under management.

 

   

Our life insurance business decreased $2 million primarily due to less favorable mortality as compared to the prior year, partially offset by growth in the in-force block of term life insurance.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $4 million predominately a result of a $9 million, net of tax, bond call in the current year. The prior year included $6 million, net of tax, of favorable adjustments. In addition, the performance of newer issued policies was partially offset by unfavorable performance of older issued policies. The revenues and benefits and expenses for Continental Life Insurance Company of Brentwood, Tennessee (“Continental Life”), which was acquired on May 1, 2006, reflect a two-month period for 2006 compared to a three-month period for 2007.

Revenues

Premiums

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $40 million mainly attributable to growth in the in-force block and a $19 million increase due to the Continental Life acquisition.

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $12 million mainly due to in-force growth from new sales and renewal premiums of term life insurance offset by lapses and continued runoff of our whole life block.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $49 million attributable to lower life contingent sales in our spread-based retail products primarily due to our continued pricing discipline in the current interest rate and yield curve environment and our decision in the third quarter of 2006 to discontinue sales of our life-contingent structured settlement annuities.

Net investment income

 

   

Our long-term care insurance increased $29 million partially due to growth in the in-force block. The current quarter increase also included a $14 million bond call from a single issuer that did not occur in the prior year.

 

   

Our institutional business increased $22 million attributable to increased assets under management.

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $18 million mainly due to growth of the in-force block and an increase in securities purchased using proceeds from the issuance of non-recourse funding obligations supporting certain term and universal life insurance reserves.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $26 million as result of a decline in assets under management for our spread-based retail products.

Insurance and investment product fees and other

 

   

Our managed money business increased $35 million primarily attributable to an increase of $23 million from the acquisition of AssetMark, as well as growth in assets under management in our existing platforms.

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $9 million principally the result of increased sales of our universal life insurance products.

 

32


Table of Contents
   

Our retirement income business increased $8 million mainly due to increased assets under management from continued sales of our Income Distribution Series of variable annuity products and riders.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $59 million mainly as a result of the aging and growth of the in-force block and a $14 million increase from the Continental Life acquisition. The prior year included a $24 million favorable adjustment related to group long-term care policies which did not recur in the current year. In addition, the performance of newer issued policies was offset by unfavorable performance of older issued policies.

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $31 million largely attributable to growth in the term life insurance in-force blocks and less favorable mortality as compared to the prior year.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $46 million principally attributable to a $42 million decrease in our spread-based retail products due to lower life-contingent sales primarily as a result of our continued pricing discipline in the current interest rate and yield curve environment and our decision in the third quarter of 2006 to discontinue sales of our life-contingent structured settlement annuities.

Interest credited

 

   

Our institutional business increased $26 million mainly attributable to growth in assets under management.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $17 million from lower account values on fixed annuities associated with surrenders more than offsetting sales and crediting rates being reset to current, lower rates as the fixed annuities reach the end of their initial crediting rate guarantee period.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals

 

   

Our managed money business increased $26 million attributable to an increase of $16 million from the AssetMark acquisition and growth of our assets under management.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business decreased $6 million mainly from an $8 million unfavorable reinsurance adjustment in the prior year that did not recur.

 

   

Our life insurance business decreased $4 million due to continued productivity efficiencies more than offsetting higher expenses associated with continued growth of insurance in-force.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles. Our long-term care insurance business increased $6 million mainly attributable to a $9 million increase from the Continental Life acquisition, partially offset by lower terminations of our in-force block.

Interest expense. Our life insurance business increased $16 million from the issuance of additional non-recourse funding obligations and an increase in average floating rates paid on those obligations.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to 35.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 35.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease in effective tax rate was primarily attributable to an increase in the dividends received deduction and accrued interest on examination developments.

Our retirement income business increased $2 million mainly as the result of an increase in income from fee-based products as a result of growth in assets under management of our Income Distribution Series of variable annuity products and riders and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by lower municipal GIC advisory fees and lower spread-based retail assets under management from withdrawals of older issued blocks more than offsetting new deposits as crediting rates are being reset to lower rates.

Our institutional business increased $1 million attributable to growth in assets under management and increased spreads, primarily in our fixed GIC products, partially offset by prior year favorable investment income items that did not recur in the current year.

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $2 million primarily due to growth in the in-force block of term life insurance, partially offset by less favorable mortality as compared to the prior year.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business decreased $2 million as the performance of newer issued policies was offset by unfavorable performance of older issued policies. The current year includes $10 million, net of tax, in bond calls. The prior year included $8 million, net of tax, of favorable adjustments. The revenues and benefits and expenses for Continental Life reflect a two-month period for 2006 compared to a six-month period for 2007.

Revenues

Premiums

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $100 million mainly attributable to growth in the in-force block and a $63 million increase due to the Continental Life acquisition.

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $26 million mainly due to in-force growth from new sales and renewal premiums of term life insurance, partially offset by lapses and continued runoff of our whole life block.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $75 million attributable to lower life-contingent sales in our spread-based retail products primarily due to our continued pricing discipline in the current interest rate and yield curve environment and our decision in the third quarter of 2006 to discontinue sales of our life-contingent structured settlement annuities.

Net investment income

 

   

Our long-term care insurance increased $51 million largely due to growth in the in-force block. The current year also included $15 million in bond calls.

 

   

Our institutional business increased $56 million attributable to increased yields on floating rate investments supporting certain floating rate policyholder liabilities and higher asset balances.

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $37 million mainly due to growth of the in-force block and an increase in securities purchased using proceeds from the issuance of non-recourse funding obligations supporting certain term and universal life insurance reserves.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $35 million as result of a decline in assets under management for our spread-based retail products.

Insurance and investment product fees and other

 

   

Our managed money business increased $69 million primarily attributable to an increase of $44 million from the acquisition of AssetMark, as well as growth in assets under management in our existing platforms.

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $19 million principally the result of increased sales in our universal life insurance products.

 

   

Our retirement income business increased $16 million mainly due to increased assets under management from continued sales of our Income Distribution Series of variable annuity products and riders.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $143 million mainly as a result of the aging and growth of the in-force block and a $50 million increase from the Continental Life acquisition. The prior year included a $27 million favorable adjustment related to our group long-term policies which did not recur in the current year. In addition, the performance of newer issued policies was offset by unfavorable performance of older issued policies.

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $44 million principally attributable to growth of our term life insurance in-force block and less favorable mortality as compared to the prior year, partially offset by a current year favorable reserve adjustment.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $55 million largely due to a decrease in our spread-based retail products due to lower life-contingent sales primarily due to our continued pricing discipline in the current interest rate and yield curve environment and our decision in the third quarter of 2006 to discontinue sales of our life-contingent structured settlement annuities.

Interest credited

 

   

Our institutional business increased $53 million mainly attributable to growth in assets under management and an increase in crediting rates.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $36 million from lower account values on fixed annuities associated with surrenders more than offsetting sales and crediting rates being reset to current, lower rates as the fixed annuities reach the end of their initial crediting rate guarantee period.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals

 

   

Our managed money business increased $49 million from an increase of $31 million from the AssetMark acquisition and growth of our assets under management.

 

   

Our life insurance business decreased $9 million due to continued productivity efficiencies more than offsetting higher expenses associated with continued growth of insurance in-force.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business decreased $3 million driven by continued productivity efficiencies. An $8 million increase from the Continental Life acquisition was offset by $8 million unfavorable reinsurance adjustment in the prior year that did not recur.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles

 

   

Our retirement income business increased $10 million as a result of higher fixed annuity lapses in our spread-based products and growth in our variable annuity block.

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $9 million mainly due to growth in the in-force block and less favorable persistency.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $7 million attributable to a $12 million increase from the Continental Life acquisition, partially offset by lower terminations of our in-force block.

Interest expense. Our life insurance business increased $33 million from the issuance of additional non-recourse funding obligations and an increase in average floating rates paid on those obligations.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to 35.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 35.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease in effective tax rate was primarily attributable to an increase in the dividends received deduction, which included a favorable examination development, and accrued interest on examination developments.

Managed money includes third-party assets managed by AssetMark, Genworth Financial Asset Management and Genworth Financial Advisers.

The increase in these assets was primarily due to the fourth quarter of 2006 acquisition of AssetMark and higher net flows in managed money accounts from new and existing clients, as well as favorable equity market performance. The increase in gross and net flows was the result of the AssetMark acquisition, expansion of our distribution network, growth in our sales force and changes in our fee structure. The account value as of June 30, 2007 for AssetMark was $11.2 billion.

The Income Distribution Series products are comprised of our retirement income deferred and immediate variable annuity products, including those variable annuity products with rider options that provide similar income features. These products do not include fixed single premium immediate annuities or deferred annuities, which may also serve income distribution needs.

Income Distribution Series

We experienced an increase in assets under management attributable to continued sales growth of our guaranteed minimum withdrawal for life benefit rider and favorable equity markets.

Traditional variable annuities

In our traditional variable annuities, the increase in assets under management was principally the result of ongoing sales of our traditional variable annuity products and favorable equity markets exceeding surrenders and benefits.

Table of Contents

Fixed annuities

Surrenders exceeded deposits during the first half of 2007 and 2006 as the current interest rate and unfavorable yield curve environment along with competitive pressures have reduced the attractiveness of certain fixed annuities relative to investment alternatives, such as certificates of deposit. This interest rate and yield curve environment has had an adverse impact on both sales and retention of fixed annuities and we expect this trend to continue if the current interest rate and yield curve environment remains unchanged. In recent quarters, we have experienced improved spreads in fixed annuities principally from runoff and crediting rate resets on lower return business.

Single premium immediate annuities

The account value, net of reinsurance, increased primarily due to interest credited on the account values as premiums and deposits were offset by surrenders and benefits.

Structured settlements

Upon completion of a strategic review of our structured settlement annuities, we decided in the third quarter of 2006 to no longer solicit sales of this product as a result of a continued challenging and competitive long-term interest rate environment. However, we continue to service our existing block of business.

“Surrenders and benefits” include contracts that have matured but are redeposited with us and reflected as deposits. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, surrenders and deposits that were redeposited and are now reflected under “Deposits” amounted to $100 million each. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, surrenders and deposits included $200 million and $310 million, respectively, that were redeposited and reflected under “Deposits.”

The increase in account values was primarily the result of the increase in the first half of 2007 in our FABNs, which include the registered note and the global medium term note (“GMTN”) programs. In the second quarter of 2007, we issued $650 million of registered notes. The GMTN program was launched in the first quarter of 2007 and resulted in issuances of $600 million. The increase in interest credited was driven by an increase in account value as well as higher crediting rates on our floating rate products due to an increase in short-term interest rates compared to 2006. These increases were partially offset by scheduled maturities of fixed GICs.

Table of Contents

Term life insurance

The increase in term life insurance net earned premiums and insurance in-force was mainly due to growth of the in-force block of business. Annualized first-year premiums decreased as a result of increased price competition and a shift to universal life products by our distributors.

Universal and whole life insurance

Universal life annualized first-year and excess deposits increased largely from a shift from term life insurance products by our distributors and new product offerings gaining momentum. The in-force block remained flat mainly as a result of the growth in universal life insurance being offset by the continued runoff of our closed block of whole life insurance.

Long-term care insurance

The following table sets forth selected financial and operating performance measures regarding our long-term care insurance business, which includes individual and group long-term care insurance, Medicare supplement insurance, a linked-benefits product (that combines universal life insurance and long-term care insurance product features), as well as several runoff blocks of accident and health insurance and corporate-owned life insurance for the periods indicated:

Annualized first-year premiums and deposits

   $ 54    $ 51    $ 3   6 %   $ 106    $ 99    $ 7   7 %

Net earned premiums increased primarily due to growth in the individual long-term care insurance in-force block from new sales. Medicare supplement net earned premiums increased mainly as a result of the Continental Life acquisition in the second quarter of 2006.

Annualized first-year premiums and deposits increased primarily attributable to the introduction of our linked-benefits product in 2006 with sales beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006. Our acquisition of Continental Life contributed an increase of $5 million in the first half of the year and was more than offset by a decline in our existing block of Medicare supplement insurance. The decline of annualized first-year premiums in our existing block of Medicare supplement insurance was the result of pricing actions and limited plan withdrawals in selected markets in the second quarter of 2006. Annualized first-year premiums were flat compared to the prior year.

The increase in our international mortgage insurance business was driven by growth and seasoning of our insurance in-force in Canada and Australia, as well as a decrease in the effective tax rate. These increases were partially offset by a higher loss ratio in Australia, as well as favorable loss results in the prior year in Canada.

 

   

The increase in our payment protection insurance business was primarily associated with growth in production in continental Europe and Ireland, structured transactions and a lower effective tax rate.

Our international mortgage insurance business increased $21 million and our payment protection insurance business increased $21 million.

 

   

The three months ended June 30, 2007 included increases of $5 million and $3 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates for our international mortgage insurance and payment protection insurance businesses, respectively.

Interest expense. The increase was primarily due to reciprocal reinsurance transactions, which we accounted for under the deposit method in our payment protection insurance business.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes remained flat and included a $3 million increase attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The effective tax rate decreased to 25.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 28.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the increase in lower taxed foreign income.

Net premiums earned

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force

Our businesses in Australia, New Zealand and Canada currently provide 100% coverage on the majority of the loans we insure in those markets. For the purpose of representing our risk in-force, we have computed an “effective” risk in-force amount, which recognizes that the loss on any particular loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the property. Effective risk in-force has been calculated by applying to insurance in-force a factor that represents our highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of our businesses in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, this factor was 35%.

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force increased primarily as a result of an increase in new insurance written as we continue to execute our global expansion strategy and expand our market share. Our international mortgage insurance primary insurance in-force and risk in-force included increases of $36.8 billion and $12.1 billion attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates for the period ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

New insurance written

New insurance written increased attributable to growth in flow and bulk new insurance written primarily as a result of continued account penetration in Canada, the ongoing expansion of our customer base in Europe, higher short-term bulk new insurance written in Canada and higher bulk new insurance written in Australia. The three and six months ended June 30, 2007 included increases of $2.9 billion and $3.9 billion attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, respectively.

Net premiums written and net premiums earned

Net premiums written increased primarily due to increases in new insurance written in our international mortgage insurance business. The three and six months ended June 30, 2007 included increases of $24 million and $31 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, respectively.

Most of our international mortgage insurance policies provide for single premiums at the time that loan proceeds are advanced. We initially record the single premiums to unearned premium reserves and recognize the premiums earned over time in accordance with the expected pattern of risk emergence. As of June 30, 2007, our unearned premium reserves increased to $2.9 billion from $2.1 billion as of June 30, 2006.

Net premiums earned increased driven by growth and seasoning of our insurance in-force block. The three and six months ended June 30, 2007 included increases of $12 million and $16 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, respectively.

The loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net premiums earned. The expense ratio is the ratio of general expenses to net premiums written. In our business, general expenses consist of acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, and amortization of deferred acquisition cost and intangibles.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the increase in the loss ratio was attributable to higher incurred losses as a result of seasoning of large blocks of insurance in-force in Canada and Australia, as well as favorable loss results in the prior year in Canada.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the decrease in the expense ratio was primarily the result of higher net premiums written largely driven by Canada, partially offset by an increase in costs in our existing international platforms and continued investment in potential platforms.

Gross written premiums, premium equivalents and deposits

The increase in gross written premiums, premium equivalents and deposits, gross of ceded reinsurance and cancellations, for the second quarter of 2007 was largely related to increased sales growth in continental Europe and Ireland and continued market penetration in Poland, Greece and Mexico. The 2007 production reflects several reinsurance assumed arrangements accounted for under the deposit method entered into in the second half of 2006 and the first half of 2007, which cover Canadian and U.K. risks. Additionally, we entered into a significant structured transaction with a lender in the U.K. in the second quarter of 2007 resulting in written premiums of $199 million. The three and six months ended June 30, 2007 included increases of $65 million and $112 million, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The three months ended June 30, 2007 included an increase of $21 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our payment protection insurance business decreased $29 million primarily as a result of $28 million related to the reinsurance accounting change and our runoff block of business. Partially offsetting these decreases was business growth in existing continental European markets and new markets. The six months ended June 30, 2007 included an increase of $50 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force increased primarily as a result of new insurance written and higher policy persistency. Our flow persistency was 78% and 72% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We believe that the increased demand for private mortgage insurance, sustained higher interest rates, increased persistency and our ongoing growth strategy will lead to growing levels of insurance in-force. The increase in primary insurance in-force reflects an increase in our flow and bulk product writings.

New insurance written

New insurance written increased due to an increase in our targeted bulk writings, as well as an increase in our flow new insurance written.

Net premiums written

Net premiums written increased principally from growth in primary insurance in-force, higher policy persistency and an increase in reinsurance premiums assumed from our international mortgage insurance business.

The loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net premiums earned. The expense ratio is the ratio of general expenses to net premiums written. In our business, general expenses consist of acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, and amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the increase in the loss ratio was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of delinquencies as a result of growing levels of insurance in-force, a further weakening in home price appreciation and loss development in certain high loan balance states.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the expense ratio decreased resulting from maintaining flat expense levels from improved productivity while net premiums written increased primarily from growth in primary insurance in-force, favorable policy persistency and an increase in reinsurance premiums assumed from our international mortgage insurance business.

We define “NM” as not meaningful for increases or decreases greater than 200%.

Net operating loss

The increase in the net operating loss was primarily attributable to lower net investment income and higher interest expense. Lower net investment income was attributable to lower limited partnership distributions and lower unallocated investments, partially offset by an increase in yields. The increase in interest expense was due to an additional debt issuance in the fourth quarter of 2006, partially offset by the derecognition of borrowings related to securitization entities in the first quarter of 2006. This increase was partially offset by a higher effective tax rate.

The non-operating expenses related to reorganization consisted of a $13 million impairment of internal-use software and $8 million of severance and other employee termination related expenses.

Yields for fixed maturities and equity securities are based on amortized cost and cost, respectively. Yields for securities lending activity, which is included in other investments, are calculated net of the corresponding securities lending liability. All other yields are based on average carrying values.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the increase in overall investment yields was primarily attributable to increased investment income from bond calls and increased yields on floating rate investments supporting floating rate policyholder and non-recourse funding liabilities. This increase was partially offset by a decline in yield related to commercial mortgage loans primarily as a result of a favorable adjustment to our commercial mortgage loan loss reserves in the prior year.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006

 

   

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, net investment losses increased principally as a result of an increase in impairments from credit related events and market fluctuation of options, futures and swaps. The impairments are primarily related to a single credit in the media sector. These losses were offset by a decrease in interest rate related losses on the disposition of available-for-sale securities from opportunistic portfolio repositioning activities as compared to prior year.

 

   

The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1,425 million and $1,220 million, respectively, which was approximately 97% and 96% of book value, respectively, and were primarily driven by the higher interest rate environment.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

 

   

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net investment losses were relatively flat with the prior year period as lower interest rate related losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities from portfolio repositioning activities were offset by an increase in credit related impairment losses. The prior period net investment losses also included a $17 million loss on the derecognition of assets and liabilities associated with certain securitization entities.

 

   

The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2,494 million and $2,061 million, respectively, which was approximately 97% and 96% of book value, respectively. The loss on sales of securities in the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily driven by the higher interest rate environment.

Derivative instruments primarily consist of changes in the fair value of non-qualifying derivatives, including embedded derivatives, changes in fair value of certain derivatives and related hedged items in fair value hedge relationships and hedge ineffectiveness on qualifying derivative instruments.

The investment securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2007 consisted of 3,804 securities accounting for unrealized losses of $1,139 million. Of these unrealized losses, 94% were investment grade (rated AAA through BBB-) and 98% were less than 20% below cost. The amount of the unrealized loss on these securities was primarily attributable to increases in interest rates. Of the investment securities in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more as of June 30, 2007, 13 securities were 20% or more below cost, of which four securities were also below investment grade (rated BB+ and below). These securities accounted for unrealized losses of $5 million. These securities, which were issued primarily by corporations in the communication and banking and finance sectors, were current on all terms and we expect to collect full principal and interest.

As of June 30, 2007, we expect these investments to continue to perform in accordance with their original contractual terms and we have the ability and intent to hold these investment securities until the recovery of the

fair value up to the cost of the investment, which may be maturity. Accordingly, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2007. However, from time to time, we may sell securities in the ordinary course of managing our portfolio to meet diversification, credit quality, yield enhancement, asset-liability management and liquidity requirements.

Derivatives

The fair value of derivative instruments, including interest rate and foreign currency swaps, equity index options and financial futures is based upon pricing valuation models which utilize independent third-party data as inputs. The following table sets forth our positions in derivative instruments and the estimated fair values as of the dates indicated:

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair value of derivatives in a gain position and recorded in other invested assets was $259 million and $543 million, respectively, and the fair value of derivatives in a loss position and recorded in other liabilities was $150 million and $33 million, respectively.

The increase in the notional value of derivatives was primarily due to forward starting interest rate swaps with a notional value of $4.7 billion to hedge the cash flows of forecasted transactions related to our long-term care insurance business. Additionally, we entered into $505 million of interest rate swaps to swap fixed rate assets or liabilities into floating rate assets or liabilities. We entered into cross currency swaps with a notional value of approximately $200 million to convert foreign currency denominated fixed rate liabilities into U.S. dollar floating rate liabilities consistent with the overall asset-liability management for our GMTN program, $120 million of equity index options to hedge risk embedded in certain retirement income products, and $92 million of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge currency exposure. These increases were offset by the maturity of a $500 million interest rate swap that was used to hedge our LIBOR floating rate senior notes.

Consolidated Balance Sheets

Total assets. Total assets increased $1.1 billion from $110.9 billion as of December 31, 2006 to $111.9 billion as of June 30, 2007.

 

   

Cash, cash equivalents and invested assets increased $1.6 billion primarily due to cash generated from operating activities and non-recourse funding obligations that was invested in fixed maturities and commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by decreases in the securities lending program and an increase in unrealized investment losses of $1.0 billion due to higher long-term interest rates.

 

   

Deferred acquisition costs increased $0.5 billion associated with our insurance in-force growth.

 

   

Separate account assets increased $1.1 billion related to the favorable market performance of the underlying securities and new deposits, which was partially offset by death, surrender and other benefits.

 

   

Assets associated with discontinued operations decreased $2.0 billion as the sale of our group life and health insurance business was completed in May 2007.

Table of Contents

Total liabilities. Total liabilities increased $1.4 billion from $97.5 billion as of December 31, 2006 to $99.0 billion as of June 30, 2007.

 

   

Our policyholder-related liabilities increased $0.9 billion associated with the growth of our insurance in-force.

 

   

Unearned premiums increased $0.8 billion, including $0.2 billion attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, as a result of growth in our International segment.

 

   

Non-recourse funding obligations increased $0.8 billion from issuances during the second quarter of 2007.

 

   

The deferred tax liability decreased $0.5 billion primarily due to lower deferred taxes as a result of lower other comprehensive income. The decrease was also from a $0.2 billion reclassification with current tax liabilities associated with our adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. These decreases were partially offset by increased deferred taxes from the current year provision.

 

   

Separate account liabilities increased $1.1 billion related to the favorable market performance of the underlying securities and new deposits, which was partially offset by death, surrender and other benefits.

 

   

Liabilities associated with discontinued operations decreased $1.4 billion as the sale of our group life and health insurance business was completed in May 2007.

Total stockholders’ equity. Total stockholders’ equity decreased $364 million from $13,330 million as of December 31, 2006 to $12,966 million as of June 30, 2007.

 

   

We repurchased shares of our Class A Common Stock for an aggregate cost of $998 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

 

   

Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $607 million from $1,157 million as of December 31, 2006 to $550 million as of June 30, 2007. Net unrealized investment gains (losses), net of tax, decreased $616 million to $(181) million driven primarily by an increase in interest rates between the two periods. Derivatives qualifying as hedges, net of tax, decreased $216 million to $159 million primarily attributable to higher interest rates that impact the fair value of our forward starting interest rate swaps. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in foreign currency translation and other adjustments, net of tax, of $225 million to $572 million due to increases in foreign exchange rates in countries we operate in, particularly Canada and Australia.

 

   

Additional paid-in capital increased $670 million primarily from the issuance of our Class A Common Stock for $600 million and stock-based compensation expense and exercises of $67 million.

 

   

Retained earnings increased $570 million from net income of $703 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, partially offset by $79 million of declared dividends and a $54 million cumulative effect of accounting change from the adoption of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and capital resources represent our overall financial strength and our ability to generate cash flows from our businesses, borrow funds at competitive rates and raise new capital to meet our operating and growth needs.

Genworth Financial and Subsidiaries

The following table sets forth our condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30:

 

(Amounts in millions)

   2007     2006  

Net cash from operating activities

   $ 2,542     $ 1,997  

Net cash from investing activities

     (1,836 )     (752 )

Net cash from financing activities

     (237 )     (760 )
                

Net increase in cash before foreign exchange effect

   $ 469     $ 485  
                

Cash flows from operating activities are affected by the timing of premiums, fees and investment income received and expenses paid. Principal sources of cash include sales of our products and services. The increase in cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 over the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily the result of an increase in other liabilities and policy related balances associated with timing of settlements.

As an insurance business, we typically generate positive cash flows from operating activities, as premiums and deposits collected from our insurance and investment products exceed policy acquisition costs, benefits paid and redemptions. These positive cash flows are then invested to support the obligations of our insurance and investment products and required capital supporting these products. Accordingly, in analyzing our cash flow we focus on the change in the amount of cash available and used in investing activities.

The decrease in net cash from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to June 30, 2006, was primarily the result of an increase in purchases caused by cash from operating activities, the issuances of our FABN registered note and GMTN programs and the issuances of our non-recourse funding obligations. These purchases were partially offset by cash used to repurchase our common stock and from cash proceeds received from the sale of our discontinued operations in May 2007.

Changes in cash from financing activities primarily related to the issuance and repayment of borrowings, dividends to our stockholders and other capital transactions, as well as the issuance of, and redemptions and benefit payments on, investment contracts. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, cash from financing activities included net redemptions on investment contracts of $345 million. In May 2007, Equity Unit holders purchased 25.5 million of newly issued shares of our Class A Common Stock. In May 2007, we repurchased 16.5 million shares of our common stock in a private transaction for an initial aggregate purchase price of $600 million. We funded the purchase price with proceeds from the issuance and sale of common stock pursuant to the settlement of purchase contracts that were components of our Equity Units. Total cash used for the acquisition of treasury stock was $998 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. In June 2007, we issued senior notes having an aggregate principal amount of $350 million. The net proceeds from the issuance of those senior notes were used to partially repay $500 million of our senior notes which matured in June 2007, with the remainder repaid with cash on hand. See notes 6 and 7 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.

We have a repurchase program in which we sell a security at a specified price and agree to repurchase that security at another specified price at a later date. Repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently reacquired, including accrued interest, as specified in the respective agreement. The market value of securities to be repurchased is monitored and collateral levels are adjusted where appropriate to protect the counterparty against credit exposure. Cash received is invested in fixed maturities. As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of securities pledged under the repurchase program was $646 million and the offsetting repurchase obligation of $630 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Genworth Financial, Inc.—holding company

We conduct all our operations through our operating subsidiaries. Dividends from our subsidiaries and permitted payments to us under our tax sharing arrangements with our subsidiaries are our principal sources of cash to pay stockholder dividends and to meet our holding company obligations, including payments of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness.

Our primary uses of funds at our holding company level include payment of general operating expenses, payment of principal, interest and other expenses related to holding company debt, payment of dividends on our common and preferred stock, amounts we owe to GE under the Tax Matters Agreement, contract adjustment payments on our Equity Units, contributions to subsidiaries, and, potentially, acquisitions.

Our holding company had $130 million and $84 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2007, we declared common stock dividends of $39 million, which were paid in the second quarter of 2007. In the second quarter of 2007, we declared common stock dividends of $40 million, which will be paid in the third quarter of 2007. The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on many factors including our receipt of dividends from our insurance and other operating subsidiaries, financial condition, net income, capital requirements of our subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints and other factors as the board of directors deems relevant. In addition, our Series A Preferred Stock bears dividends at an annual rate of 5.25% of the liquidation value of $50 per share.

In May 2007, we issued 25.5 million shares of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to the settlement of the purchase contracts that were originally issued as components of our Equity Units. See note 7 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information. In May 2007, we repurchased 16.5 million shares of our common stock in a private transaction for an initial aggregate purchase price of $600 million. We funded the purchase price with proceeds from the issuance and sale of common stock pursuant to the settlement of purchase contracts that were components of our Equity Units. See note 6 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information. On December 8, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $500 million of our common stock over the 12-month period commencing January 1, 2007. Additionally on March 20, 2007, our Board of Directors increased the size of the stock repurchase program by $600 million to $1,100 million for 2007. During the first quarter of 2007, we repurchased 6.6 million shares at a weighted average price of $35.16. During the second quarter of 2007, we repurchased 21.2 million shares at a weighted average price of $36.08. As of June 30, 2007, our remaining repurchase capacity was $102 million.

Insurance companies domiciled in the United States are restricted by various state insurance laws as to the amount of dividends that may be paid within any twelve consecutive month period without regulatory consent. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we received dividends from our life insurance subsidiaries of $335 million. The remaining dividend capacity that our subsidiaries could pay to us in 2007 without regulatory approval is $1,065 million.

In addition to dividends from our insurance subsidiaries, our other sources of funds include service fees we receive from GE, payments from our subsidiaries pursuant to tax sharing arrangements, proceeds from any additional issuances of commercial paper and borrowings pursuant to our revolving credit facilities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we contributed capital of $344 million to our subsidiaries.

Regulated insurance subsidiaries

The liquidity requirements of our regulated insurance subsidiaries principally relate to the liabilities associated with their various insurance and investment products, operating costs and expenses, the payment of

 

63


Table of Contents

dividends to us, contributions to their subsidiaries, payment of principal and interest on their outstanding debt obligations and income taxes. Liabilities arising from insurance and investment products include the payment of benefits, as well as cash payments in connection with policy surrenders and withdrawals, policy loans and obligations to redeem funding agreements under applicable put option provisions.

Historically, our insurance subsidiaries have used cash flows from operations and sales of investment securities to fund their liquidity requirements. Our insurance subsidiaries’ principal cash inflows from operating activities derive from premiums, annuity deposits and insurance and investment product fees and other income, including commissions, cost of insurance, mortality, expense and surrender charges, contract underwriting fees, investment management fees, and dividends and distributions from their subsidiaries. The principal cash inflows from investment activities result from repayments of principal, sales of invested assets and investment income.

As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately $3.0 billion of renewable floating rate funding agreements, which are deposit-type products that generally credit interest on deposits at a floating rate tied to an external market index. Purchasers of renewable funding agreements include money market funds, bank common trust funds and other short-term investors. Some of our funding agreements contain “put” provisions, through which the contractholder has an option to terminate the funding agreement for any reason after giving notice within the contract’s specified notice period, which is generally 90 days or 180 days. Of the $3.0 billion aggregate amount outstanding as of June 30, 2007, $875 million had put option features including $375 million with put options features of 90 days and $500 million with put options of 180 days.

Our insurance subsidiaries maintain investment strategies intended to provide adequate funds to pay benefits without forced sales of investments. Products having liabilities with longer durations, such as certain life insurance and long-term care insurance policies, are matched with investments having similar estimated lives such as long-term fixed maturities and commercial mortgage loans. Shorter-term liabilities are matched with fixed maturities that have short- and medium-term fixed maturities. In addition, our insurance subsidiaries hold highly liquid, high-quality short-term investment securities and other liquid investment-grade fixed maturities to fund anticipated operating expenses, surrenders, and withdrawals. As of June 30, 2007, our total cash and invested assets was $72.6 billion. Our investments in privately placed fixed maturities, commercial mortgage loans, policy loans and limited partnership interests are relatively illiquid. These asset classes represented approximately 37% of the carrying value of our total cash and invested assets as of June 30, 2007.

During 2005, certain of our domestic life insurance subsidiaries transferred primarily foreign-issued investment securities to an affiliated special purpose entity (“SPE”) which is a subsidiary in our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment and consolidated in our financial statements and whose sole purpose is to securitize these investment securities and issue secured notes to various affiliated insurance companies. The securitized investments are owned in their entirety by the SPE and are not available to satisfy the claims of our creditors. These securitized investments provide collateral to the notes issued by the SPE to the insurance companies. The value of those securities as of June 30, 2007 was $1.3 billion.

Capital resources and financing activities

We have a $1.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility that matures in May 2012 (as extended during the second quarter of 2007 pursuant to the terms of the facility) and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility that matures in April 2010. These facilities bear variable interest rates based on a one-month LIBOR plus margin. As of June 30, 2007, we utilized $172 million of the commitment under these facilities for the issuance of a letter of credit primarily for the benefit of one of our U.S. Mortgage Insurance subsidiaries.

In June 2007, we issued senior notes having an aggregate principal amount of $350 million, with an interest rate equal to 5.65% per year payable semi-annually, and maturing in June 2012 (“2012 Notes”). The 2012 Notes are our direct, unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2012 Notes, at any time with

 

64


Table of Contents

proper notice to the note holders at a price equal to the greater of 100% of principal or the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest discounted at the then-current treasury rate plus an applicable spread. The net proceeds of $349 million from the issuance of the 2012 Notes were used to partially repay $500 million of our senior notes which matured in June 2007, with the remainder repaid with cash on hand.

In April 2007, River Lake Insurance Company IV Limited, a Bermuda long-term insurance company wholly-owned by Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company (“GLAIC”), itself an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Genworth, issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of floating rate guaranteed notes due 2028 and $40 million in aggregate principal amount of floating rate subordinated notes due 2028. In June 2007, River Lake Insurance Company II, a special purpose financial captive insurance company wholly-owned by GLAIC, issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of floating rate surplus notes due 2035. See note 7 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.

In March 2007, Genworth Financial Commercial Warehouse LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Genworth, entered into a $300 million credit facility maturing March 22, 2010. The facility may be permanently increased to $500 million upon 30-days advance written notice. The sole purpose of this facility is to fund the purchase of commercial mortgage loans. As of June 30, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.

On May 11, 2007, we remarketed the senior notes included in our Equity Units pursuant to their terms. Proceeds from the remarketing were used to satisfy the obligations of the holders of the Equity Units to purchase our Class A Common Stock under the related purchase contracts. We repurchased some of the stock issued pursuant to such purchase contracts shortly after the issuance thereof in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions. See note 7 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.

We believe our cash flows from operations, further issuances under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facilities will provide us with sufficient liquidity to meet our operating requirements for the foreseeable future.

Contractual obligations and commercial commitments

We enter into obligations to third parties in the ordinary course of our operations. However, we do not believe that our cash flow requirements can be assessed based upon an analysis of these obligations. The most significant factor affecting our future cash flows is our ability to earn and collect cash from our customers. Future cash outflows, whether they are contractual obligations or not, also will vary based upon our future needs. Although some outflows are fixed, others depend on future events. Examples of fixed obligations include our obligations to pay principal and interest on fixed-rate borrowings. Examples of obligations that will vary include obligations to pay interest on variable-rate borrowings and insurance liabilities that depend on future interest rates and market performance. Many of our obligations are linked to cash-generating contracts. These obligations include payments to contractholders that assume those contractholders will continue to make deposits in accordance with the terms of their contracts. In addition, our operations involve significant expenditures that are not based upon “commitments.” These include expenditures for income taxes and payroll.

During 2007, we issued $790 million in non-recourse funding obligations as further described in note 7 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

In May 2007, we repurchased 16.5 million shares of our common stock under an accelerated share repurchase transaction with a broker-dealer counterparty for an initial aggregate purchase price of $600 million. The repurchased shares will be held in treasury, until such time as they may be reissued or retired. See note 6 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.

Table of Contents

In June 2007, we issued senior notes having an aggregate principal amount of $350 million. The net proceeds from the issuance of the senior notes were used to partially repay $500 million of our senior notes which matured in June 2007, with the remainder repaid with cash on hand. See note 7 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information.

Other than these transactions, there have been no other material additions or changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as set forth in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2007 (reflecting our reorganized segment reporting structure and the effects of classifying our group life and health insurance business as discontinued operations).

Securitization Entities

During the first quarter of 2006, we derecognized securitization entity balances of $685 million, $44 million, $660 million and $15 million of restricted investments held by securitization entities, other assets, borrowings related to securitization entities and other liabilities, respectively. We continue to hold a retained interest in the form of interest-only strips. We recognized a loss on sale of $11 million, net of tax, from this re-securitization transaction in the three months ended March 31, 2006.

New Accounting Standards

For a discussion of recently adopted and not yet adopted accounting standards, see note 2 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss of fair value resulting from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. Market risk is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying financial instruments are traded. There were no material changes in these risks since December 31, 2006.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2007, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of Genworth’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting During the Quarter Ended June 30, 2007

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We face a significant risk of litigation and regulatory investigations and actions in the ordinary course of operating our businesses, including the risk of class action lawsuits. Our pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings specific to us and others generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which we operate. In our insurance operations, we are, have been, or may become subject to class actions and individual suits alleging, among other things, issues relating to sales or underwriting practices, payment of contingent or other sales commissions, bidding practices in connection with our management and administration of a third-party’s municipal guaranteed investment contract business, claims payments and procedures, product design, product disclosure, administration, additional premium charges for premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, charging excessive or impermissible fees on products, recommending unsuitable products to customers, our pricing structures and business practices in our mortgage insurance business, such as captive reinsurance arrangements with lenders and contract underwriting services, violations of RESPA or related state anti-inducement laws, and breaching fiduciary or other duties to customers. Plaintiffs in class action and other lawsuits against us may seek very large or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, which may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In our investment-related operations, we are subject to litigation involving commercial disputes with counterparties. We are also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities such as our contractual and employment relationships. We are also subject to various regulatory inquiries, such as information requests, subpoenas and books and record examinations, and market conduct and financial examinations, from state, federal and international regulators and other authorities. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if we ultimately prevail in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we could suffer significant reputational harm, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There were no material developments during the quarter in any of the legal proceedings identified in Part 1, Item 3 of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in Part II, Item 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007. In addition, there were no new material legal proceedings during the quarter.

We cannot ensure that the previously identified investigations and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, it is possible that related investigations and proceedings may be commenced in the future, and we could become subject to further investigations and have lawsuits filed against us. In addition, increased regulatory scrutiny and any resulting investigations or proceedings could result in new legal precedents and industry-wide regulations or practices that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2007 (reflecting our reorganized segment reporting structure and the effects of classifying our group life and health insurance business as discontinued operations), which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. As of June 30, 2007, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the above-referenced filings.
