Other Information
 

NOTE 1: In addition to net income as determined using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we have consistently used non-GAAP operating income (a measure of earnings not recognized under GAAP), a financial measure common in the life insurance industry, as a primary economic measure to evaluate our financial performance. Non-GAAP operating income for the periods presented consists of net income adjusted to exclude the initial impact of changes in federal statutory income tax rates and tax laws, realized gains and losses on investments and the change in net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives and equity securities.

We use non-GAAP operating income, in addition to net income, to measure our performance since realized gains and losses on investments and the change in net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives and equities can fluctuate greatly from quarter to quarter. These fluctuations make it difficult to analyze core operating trends. A view of our non-GAAP operating performance without the impact of these items enhances the analysis of our results. We use non-GAAP operating income for goal setting, determining short-term incentive compensation and evaluating performance on a basis comparable to that used by many in the investment community.

NOTE 2: During the third quarter of 2018, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy for low income housing tax credit (LIHTC) investments. The accounting change is applied retrospectively to our financial statements and all prior financial information in this exhibit has been adjusted to reflect this change. For further details on the accounting change, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

NOTE 3: Certain financial information presented herein may not add due to rounding.

(1)
During the third quarter of 2018, we adjusted the provisional estimate of the impact of the Tax Act on our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 for additional information.
(2) Amounts are net of offsets related to changes in amortization of unearned revenue reserves, deferred sales inducements and deferred acquisition costs, as well as changes in interest sensitive product reserves and income taxes attributable to these items.
(3)
Beginning in 2018, amount includes changes in net unrealized gains/losses on equity securities.
(4) The items excluded from non-GAAP operating income impact the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, value of business acquired and unearned revenue reserve. Certain interest sensitive reserves as well as income taxes are also impacted.

FBL Financial Group, Inc.
Segment Information

We analyze operations by reviewing financial information regarding our primary products that are aggregated into the Annuity and Life Insurance product segments. In addition, our Corporate and Other segment includes various support operations, corporate capital and other product lines that are not currently underwritten by the Company.

The Annuity segment primarily consists of fixed rate and index annuities and supplementary contracts (some of which involve life contingencies). Fixed rate and index annuities provide for tax-deferred savings and supplementary contracts provide for the systematic repayment of funds that accumulate interest. Fixed rate annuities consist primarily of flexible premium deferred annuities, but also include single premium deferred and immediate contracts. With fixed rate annuities, we bear the underlying investment risk and credit interest to the contracts at rates we determine, subject to interest rate guarantees. With index annuity products, we bear the underlying investment risk and credit interest in an amount equal to a percentage of the gain in a specified market index, subject to minimum guarantees.

The Life Insurance segment consists of whole life, term life and universal life policies. These policies provide benefits upon the death of the insured and may also allow the customer to build cash value on a tax-deferred basis.

The Corporate and Other segment consists of the following corporate items and products/services that do not meet the quantitative threshold for separate segment reporting:
 
investments and related investment income not specifically allocated to our product segments;
 
interest expense;
 
closed blocks of variable annuity, variable universal life insurance and accident and health insurance products;
 
advisory services for the management of investments and other companies;
 
marketing and distribution services for the sale of mutual funds and insurance products not issued by us; and
 
leasing services, primarily with affiliates.

We analyze our segment results based on pre-tax non-GAAP operating income. Accordingly, income taxes are not allocated to the segments. In addition, non-GAAP operating results are reported net of transactions between the segments.

(1)
During the fourth quarter of 2018 we offered a voluntary early retirement program resulting in a decrease in net investment income from increased investment expenses ($0.4 million) and an increase in other underwriting expenses ($3.6 million).
(2)
During the fourth quarter of 2018 we incurred additional charges due to updating the estimate of the impact of an immaterial error related to policy benefits on a closed block of interest sensitive whole life business. The correction, along with accrued interest, resulted in increases to interest credited ($2.0 million), interest sensitive death benefits ($3.3 million) and traditional life future policy benefits ($0.2 million).
(3)
Reserves on riders in interest sensitive life insurance products are included in Other insurance reserves.
(4)
Point-in-time spread at the balance sheet date used by management for decision making with universal life (excluding products with a secondary guarantee) differs from the spread earned during the reporting period disclosed in the Form 10Q or 10K.
