In the fourth quarter of 2013, the company revised its definition of net operating income (loss) to exclude gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt and on insurance block transactions to better reflect the basis on which the performance of its business is internally assessed and to reflect management’s opinion that these measures are not indicative of overall operating trends. All prior periods presented have been re-presented to reflect this new definition.

Net operating income excludes net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, restructuring charges, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions and other adjustments, net of taxes. A reconciliation of net operating income of segments and Corporate and Other activities to net income (loss) is included at the end of this press release.

Unless specifically noted in the discussion of results for the International Mortgage Insurance and International Protection segments, references to percentage changes exclude the impact of foreign exchange. Percentage changes, which include the impact of foreign exchange, are found in a table at the end of this press release. The impact of foreign exchange on net operating income in the fourth quarter of 2013 was a favorable impact of $1 million versus the prior quarter and an unfavorable impact of $8 million versus the prior year.

•

Compared to the prior quarter, sales of life insurance products were higher, lower in individual long term care insurance (LTC) and modestly lower in fixed annuities.

•

The consolidated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio is estimated to be approximately 470 percent⁴, up from approximately 450 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2013.

•

Ordinary dividends of $100 million were paid to the holding company from the U.S. Life Insurance Division in the fourth quarter of 2013, including $25 million from Brookfield Life and Annuity Insurance Company Limited. Ordinary dividends of $200 million were paid from the U.S. Life Insurance Division to the holding company as of December 31, 2013.

•

As of December 31, 2013, LTC in force premium rate increase approvals represented approximately $195 to $200 million of the expected $250 to $300 million premium increase when fully implemented.

Life Insurance

Life insurance net operating income was $56 million, compared with $54 million in the prior quarter and $46 million in the prior year. Results in the quarter included $8 million of favorable items, including a favorable impact from prepayment speed adjustments on structured securities and a favorable impact from a refinement to the calculation of incurred but not reported reserves. Results in the quarter also included favorable taxes of $6 million from a state tax adjustment. Current quarter mortality experience was favorable versus pricing expectations and in line with the prior quarter but unfavorable versus the prior year because of higher claim severity. Prior quarter results included a net benefit of $17 million from favorable unlocking and other adjustments.

Sales increased modestly versus the prior quarter and were down $14 million versus the prior year when the company discontinued sales of its term universal life insurance product because of regulatory changes and began to transition to new term and universal life insurance product offerings. The company is continuing to make pricing and product changes that are expected to increase sales over time.

Long Term Care Insurance

Long term care insurance net operating income was $42 million, compared with $41 million in the prior quarter and $7 million in the prior year. Results benefitted from premium increases and reduced benefits of $8 million versus the prior quarter and $34 million versus the prior year related to the premium increases approved and implemented to date. Current quarter results included a $7 million unfavorable reserve adjustment and $7 million of favorable taxes primarily from a deferred tax liability correction. Results also included unfavorable claims experience versus the prior quarter from lower cancellations of pending claims. Prior year results included a $5 million unfavorable refinement to reserves to more fully reflect the low interest rate environment. The reported loss ratio for the current quarter was approximately 68 percent, four points higher than the prior quarter and five points lower than the prior year.

⁴	Company estimate for the fourth quarter of 2013, due to timing of the filing of statutory statements.

Individual LTC sales of $24 million were lower than the prior quarter. Sales are expected to continue at these levels in the near term due to the cessation of sales of AARP branded products in the retail channel and the introduction of higher priced products in additional states. The company is investing in distribution and marketing to increase LTC sales over time and also announced in the fourth quarter that it has started to file for regulatory approval of its Privileged Choice Flex 3.0 product. The company expects to launch the new product by the end of the first half of 2014.

As previously announced in the third quarter of 2012, the company filed for LTC in force premium rate increases with the goal of achieving approximately $250 to $300 million of additional annual premiums when fully implemented by 2017. As of December 31, 2013, the company has received approvals from 41 states representing approximately $195 to $200 million of the expected premium increase.

Fixed Annuities

Fixed annuities net operating income was $21 million, compared with $16 million in the prior quarter and $20 million in the prior year. Results in the quarter included higher investment income from limited partnership performance versus the prior quarter and prior year and modest spread compression versus the prior year. Sales in the quarter totaled $730 million, down modestly sequentially but up significantly versus the prior year as the company continued to benefit from competitively priced products in a rising interest rate environment while still meeting targeted returns.

U.S. Life Companies Capital

The consolidated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio is estimated to be approximately 470 percent⁴, up from approximately 450 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2013 and the consolidated U.S. life insurance companies unassigned surplus is estimated to be $400 million⁴, up from $259 million at the end of the third quarter of 2013. During the quarter, the company restructured reinsurance transactions related to its life insurance products generating in excess of $200 million of benefit to unassigned surplus, partially offset by an $80 million increase to statutory reserves related to its universal life products with secondary guarantees in the company’s New York subsidiary. The U.S. life insurance companies paid $75 million in dividends in the fourth quarter of 2013. During the quarter, the consolidated RBC ratio also benefitted from a favorable impact related to a change to the required capital for commercial mortgage loans.

Global Mortgage Insurance Division

Global Mortgage Insurance Division had net operating income of $107 million, compared with $87 million in the prior quarter and $133 million a year ago.

Canada Mortgage Insurance

Canada reported net operating earnings of $44 million versus $41 million in the prior quarter and $114 million in the prior year. Results in the prior year included a $78 million after-tax favorable adjustment from the reversal of the accrued liability for exit fees related to the government guarantee fund. The loss ratio in the quarter was 22 percent, flat to the prior quarter and down nine points from the prior year primarily from lower new delinquencies and a favorable shift in the geographic mix of delinquencies. Total delinquencies were up modestly sequentially from seasonally higher new delinquencies and lower cures and processed claims. Results in the quarter included favorable taxes and higher expenses versus both the prior quarter and prior year and unfavorable foreign exchange versus the prior year. Flow NIW was down 17 percent⁵sequentially from normal seasonal variation and up 20 percent⁵ year over year primarily from a larger origination market. In addition, the company completed several bulk transactions in the quarter, consisting of low loan-to-value prime loans, of approximately $2.4 billion reflecting its selective participation in this market. At quarter end, the Canada mortgage insurance business had a regulatory capital ratio of 222 percent⁴, well in excess of regulatory requirements. GAAP book value was $2.9 billion, of which $1.7 billion represented Genworth’s 57.4 percent ownership interest, and was flat to the prior quarter.

Australia Mortgage Insurance

Australia reported net operating earnings of $66 million versus $61 million in the prior quarter and $62 million in the prior year. The loss ratio in the quarter was 21 percent, down 10 points sequentially and down 15 points from the prior year from seasonally lower new delinquencies net of cures compared to the prior quarter and favorable aging compared to both the prior quarter and prior year. Improvements in losses and favorable taxes of $8 million were partially offset by a $4 million charge related to a customer contract. Earnings were impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange of $6 million versus the prior year. Flow NIW was up 11 percent⁵ sequentially and up three percent⁵ year over year from a larger origination market. At quarter end, the Australia mortgage insurance business had a regulatory capital ratio of 148 percent⁴, in excess of regulatory requirements. Subsequent to year end 2013, the business terminated an affiliate reinsurance treaty that will reduce the regulatory capital ratio by approximately six points going forward. The GAAP book value was $1.9 billion as of the end of the quarter, down $0.1 billion from the prior quarter primarily from changes in foreign exchange.

Other Countries Mortgage Insurance

Other Countries had a net operating loss of $9 million, compared to net operating losses of $12 million in the prior quarter and $11 million in the prior year as the business continues to be pressured from elevated losses, primarily in Ireland. During the quarter, the business executed two lender settlements reducing outstanding risk-in-force in Ireland from $1.5 billion to approximately $0.8 billion.

U.S. Mortgage Insurance Segment

Key Points

•

U.S. MI net operating income was $6 million, compared with a net operating loss of $3 million in the prior quarter and a net operating loss of $32 million in the prior year. Net operating income was $37 million in 2013, compared with a net operating loss of $138 million in 2012.

•

Flow NIW decreased 23 percent from the prior quarter from market seasonality and decreased four percent from the prior year to $4.9 billion.

•

The risk-to-capital ratio for GMICO is estimated at 19.3:1⁴ and the combined risk-to-capital ratio is estimated at 19.5:1⁴ as of December 31, 2013 reflecting a $100 million capital contribution and $75 million of admitted statutory deferred taxes.

Total flow delinquencies decreased six percent sequentially and decreased 26 percent versus the prior year. New flow delinquencies decreased approximately seven percent from the prior quarter from recent seasonal variation and decreased approximately 21 percent from the prior year, reflecting the continued burn through of delinquencies from the 2005 to 2008 book years. The flow average reserve per delinquency was $29,400, down slightly from the prior quarter.

Total losses were down $15 million compared to the prior quarter from favorable changes in aging of existing delinquencies and a decrease in new delinquency development.

Loss mitigation savings were $124 million in the quarter, down $12 million from the prior quarter. Loss mitigation savings for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $563 million.

Flow NIW of $4.9 billion decreased 23 percent over the prior quarter reflecting a smaller overall origination market, a modest increase in overall private mortgage insurance market penetration and stable market share and decreased four percent versus the prior year. Overall private mortgage insurance market penetration was up slightly from the prior quarter and up approximately five points year over year. The company’s estimate of market share at the end of the quarter is approximately 13 percent. Flow persistency was 83 percent. In addition, the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) accounted for about $0.8 billion in the quarter of insurance that is treated as a modification of the coverage on existing insurance in force rather than NIW.

The combined U.S. MI statutory risk-to-capital ratio is estimated at 19.5:1⁴ at the end of the fourth quarter with the risk-to-capital ratio for GMICO estimated at 19.3:1⁴. GMICO’s estimated risk-to-capital ratio of 19.3:1⁴ is in compliance with the maximum state regulatory limit of 25.0:1 and, as a result, GMICO is now authorized and currently writes new business for all states. Of the waivers and approvals previously relied upon, two state waivers have expired and each GSE approval related to the use of an alternative affiliated insurer also expired,

on December 31, 2013. GMICO currently maintains waivers or other authorizations from 44 states that permit the company to continue writing new business if its risk-to-capital ratio exceeds 25.0:1, however, the company plans to allow those waivers to expire pursuant to their terms in 2014. The company expects that U.S. MI will continue to meet its regulatory capital requirements, however, the company would pursue required regulatory and GSE forbearance in the future, if needed.

In December 2013, Genworth Holdings, Inc. completed a $400 million senior notes offering and the company subsequently made capital contributions of $300 million to Genworth Mortgage Holdings, LLC and $100 million to GMICO in anticipation of the higher capital requirements expected to be imposed by the GSEs as a part of the anticipated revisions to their eligibility standards for qualifying mortgage insurers. The $300 million remaining at Genworth Mortgage Holdings, LLC, if contributed to GMICO as of December 31, 2013, would have resulted in a favorable impact to GMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio of approximately four points.

Corporate and Other Division

Corporate and Other Division net operating loss was $33 million, compared with $59 million in the prior quarter and $45 million in the prior year. The net operating loss was $176 million in 2013, compared with a net operating loss of $135 million in 2012.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures entitled “net operating income (loss)” and “operating earnings per share.” Operating earnings per share is derived from net operating income (loss). The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of net operating income (loss). The company defines net operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Gains (losses) on insurance block transactions are defined as gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of non-recourse funding obligations, early termination fees for other financing restructuring and/or resulting gains (losses) on reinsurance restructuring for blocks of business. The company excludes net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because the company does not consider them to be related to the operating performance of the company’s segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of the company’s net investment gains (losses) is the result of impairments, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to the company’s discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Goodwill impairments and gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, the early extinguishment of debt and insurance block transactions are also excluded from net operating income (loss) because in the company’s opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. Other non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income (loss) if, in the company’s opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the company revised its definition of net operating income (loss) to exclude gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt and gains (losses) on insurance block transactions to better reflect the basis on which the performance of its business is internally assessed and to reflect management’s opinion that these measures are not indicative of overall operating trends. All prior periods presented have been re-presented to reflect this new definition.

Based on the revised definition of net operating income, the following transactions were excluded from net operating income for the periods presented. In the third quarter of 2013, the company paid an after-tax make-whole expense of approximately $20 million related to the early redemption of Genworth Holdings’ notes that mature in 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the company repurchased principal of approximately $100 million

of Genworth Holdings’ notes that mature in June 2014 for an after-tax loss of $4 million. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the company also repurchased $20 million of non-recourse funding obligations resulting in an after-tax gain of approximately $3 million. In the third quarter of 2012, the company completed a life block transaction resulting in an after-tax loss of $6 million. In January 2012, the company completed a life block transaction resulting in an after-tax loss of approximately $41 million.

There were no infrequent or unusual items excluded from net operating income (loss) during the periods presented other than a $13 million after-tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2013 related to restructuring costs.

While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders in accordance with GAAP, the company believes that net operating income (loss) and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income (loss), including net operating income (loss) per common share on a basic and diluted basis, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Management also uses net operating income (loss) as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. However, the items excluded from net operating income (loss) have occurred in the past and could, and in some cases will, recur in the future. Net operating income (loss) and net operating income (loss) per common share on a basic and diluted basis are not substitutes for net income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders or net income (loss) available to Genworth’s common stockholders per common share on a basic and diluted basis determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s definition of net operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

The tables at the end of this press release reflect net operating income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting guidance related to segment reporting, and a reconciliation of net operating income (loss) of the company’s segments and Corporate and Other activities to net income available to Genworth’s common stockholders for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, as well as for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure entitled “core yield” as a measure of investment yield. The company defines core yield as the investment yield adjusted for those items that are not recurring in nature. Management believes that analysis of core yield enhances understanding of the investment yield of the company. However, core yield as defined by the company should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP investment yield. In addition, the company’s definition of core yield may differ from the definitions used by other companies. A reconciliation of core yield to reported GAAP yield is included in a table at the end of this press release.

Definition of Selected Operating Performance Measures

The company reports selected operating performance measures including “sales” and “insurance in force” or “risk in force” which are commonly used in the insurance industry 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 refer to: (1) annualized first-year premiums for term life and long term care insurance products; (2) annualized first-year deposits plus five percent of excess deposits for universal and term universal life insurance products; (3) 10 percent of premium deposits for linked-benefits products; (4) new and additional premiums/deposits for fixed annuities; (5) new insurance written for mortgage insurance; and (6) net written premiums for the lifestyle protection insurance business. Sales do not include renewal premiums on policies or contracts written during prior periods. The company considers annualized first-year premiums/deposits, premium equivalents, new premiums/deposits, written premiums and new insurance written to be a measure of the company’s operating performance because they represent a measure of new sales of insurance policies or contracts during a specified period, rather than a measure of the company’s revenues or profitability during that period.

Management regularly monitors and reports insurance in force and risk in force. Insurance in force for the life, international mortgage and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses is a measure of the aggregate face value of outstanding insurance policies as of the respective reporting date. For the risk in force in the international mortgage insurance business, the company has 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 of 35 percent that represents the highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of the company’s businesses in Canada and Australia. Risk in force for the U.S. mortgage insurance business is the obligation that is limited under contractual terms to the amounts less than 100 percent of the mortgage loan value. The company considers insurance in force and risk in force to be a measure of the company’s operating performance because they represent a measure of the size of the business at a specific date which will generate revenues and profits in a future period, rather than a measure of the company’s revenues or profitability during that period.

This press release also includes information related to loss mitigation activities for the U.S. mortgage insurance business. The company defines loss mitigation activities as rescissions, cancellations, borrower loan modifications, repayment plans, lender- and borrower-titled presales, claims administration and other loan workouts. Estimated savings related to rescissions are the reduction in carried loss reserves, net of premium

refunds and reinstatement of prior rescissions. Estimated savings related to loan modifications and other cure related loss mitigation actions represent the reduction in carried loss reserves. Estimated savings related to claims mitigation activities represent amounts deducted or “curtailed” from claims due to acts or omissions by the insured or the servicer with respect to the servicing of an insured loan that is not in compliance with obligations under its master policy. For non-cure related actions, including presales, the estimated savings represent the difference between the full claim obligation and the actual amount paid. Loans subject to the company’s loss mitigation actions, the results of which have been included in the company’s reported estimated loss mitigation savings, are subject to re-default and may result in a potential claim in future periods, as well as potential future loss mitigation savings depending on the resolution of the re-defaulted loan. The company believes that this information helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of the U.S. mortgage insurance business as loss mitigation activities specifically impact current and future loss reserves and level of claim payments.

Management regularly monitors and reports a loss ratio for the company’s businesses. For the mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance businesses, the loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. For the long-term care insurance business, the loss ratio is the ratio of benefits and other changes in reserves less tabular interest on reserves less loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The company considers the loss ratio to be a measure of underwriting performance in these businesses that helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of the businesses.

An assumed tax rate of 35 percent is utilized in the explanation of certain specific variances in operating performance and investment results.

These operating measures enable the company to compare its 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.
