Unum Group Reports Fourth Quarter 2016 Results

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.(February 1, 2017) - Unum Group (NYSE: UNM) today reported net income of $248.0 million ($1.07 per diluted common share) for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $226.1 million ($0.93 per diluted common share) for the fourth quarter of 2015.

After-tax operating income, which excludes after-tax realized investment gains and losses on the Company’s investment portfolio and the amortization of prior period actuarial losses on the Company’s pension plans, was $232.4 million ($1.00 per diluted common share) in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $230.6 million ($0.95 per diluted common share) in the fourth quarter of 2015. The combined impact of the amounts excluded for the fourth quarters of 2016 and 2015 equaled net after-tax income of $15.6 million ($0.07 per diluted common share) and a net after-tax loss of $4.5 million ($0.02 per diluted common share), respectively.

“We achieved record net income in 2016, ending the year with very strong fourth quarter results,” said Richard P. McKenney, president and chief executive officer.  “Our performance continues to be anchored by market-leading positions in employee benefits which drives solid premium growth in our core business operations and strong profits. 2016 was a year that saw us deliver a combination of growth, disciplined execution, and return of capital to our shareholders. We are well positioned strategically and financially to carry this momentum into 2017.”

RESULTS BY SEGMENT

We measure and analyze our segment performance on the basis of "operating income" or "operating loss", which differ from income before income tax as presented in our consolidated statements of income due to the exclusion of net realized investment gains and losses and non-operating retirement-related gains or losses. These performance measures are in accordance with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, but they should not be viewed as a substitute for income before income tax or net income. 

Unum US Segment

    Unum US reported operating income of $240.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 12.1 percent from $214.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Premium income for the segment increased 5.9 percent to $1,325.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to premium income of $1,251.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net investment income for the segment was $206.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $220.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Within the Unum US operating segment, the group disability line of business reported a 35.4 percent increase in operating income to $89.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $66.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Premium income in group disability increased 3.7 percent to $591.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $570.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to an increase in the in-force block due to sales growth and a continued strong level of persistency. Net investment income declined by 4.7 percent to $118.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $124.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to a decline in yields and lower miscellaneous investment income. The benefit ratio for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 77.7 percent, compared to 81.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015. This improvement was due primarily to lower claim incidence rates, favorable claim recovery experience, and the impact of rate increases on the in-force block for our group long-term disability product line, which more than offset a 50 basis point reduction in the discount rate used for new claim incurrals for the group long-term disability line of business implemented in the fourth quarter of 2016. Group long-term disability sales declined by 7.3 percent to $107.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $116.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Group short-term disability sales increased 28.5 percent to $61.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $48.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Persistency in the group long-term disability line of business was 91.0 percent for full year 2016, compared to 92.1 percent for full year 2015. Persistency in the group short-term disability line of business was 87.7 percent for full year 2016, compared to 88.1 percent for full year 2015.

The group life and accidental death and dismemberment line of business reported operating income of $56.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase of 3.3 percent from $54.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Premium income for this line of business increased 4.9 percent to $391.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $373.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to growth in the in-force block resulting from sales growth and improved persistency. Net investment income declined 15.7 percent to $27.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $33.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to a

decline in the level of invested assets supporting this line of business. The benefit ratio in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 71.5 percent, compared to 72.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting lower incidence and a lower average claim size in the group life line as well as favorable experience under group life waiver of premium benefits. Sales of group life and accidental death and dismemberment products increased 14.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016 to $142.9 million, compared to $124.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Persistency in the group life line of business was 90.7 percent for full year 2016, compared to 89.2 percent for full year 2015.

The supplemental and voluntary line of business reported an increase of 0.7 percent in operating income to $94.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $93.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Premium income for supplemental and voluntary increased 11.1 percent to $341.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $307.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, driven by the addition of the dental and vision product offering resulting from an acquisition in August 2016, as well as growth in the in-force block of individual disability and voluntary benefits products due to sales growth and favorable persistency. Somewhat offsetting this growth was the impact of a reinsurance transaction executed in the fourth quarter of 2016 to cede a portion of the individual disability product line. Net investment income declined to $59.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $62.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, due to lower miscellaneous income and a decline in portfolio yields which offset an increase in the level of invested assets. The benefit ratio for the individual disability product line was 54.7 percent for the fourth quarter of 2016, generally consistent with 54.1 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015. The benefit ratio for voluntary benefits was 44.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to 48.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015. The benefit ratio for dental and vision was 65.9 percent. Relative to the fourth quarter of 2015, sales in the individual disability product line declined 17.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016 to $17.4 million. Sales in the voluntary benefits line of business increased 0.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016 to $45.4 million. Sales in the dental and vision product line totaled $10.0 million. Persistency in the individual disability product line was 91.1 percent for full year 2016, compared to 90.3 percent for full year 2015. Persistency in the voluntary benefits product line was 76.9 percent for full year 2016, compared to 75.9 percent for full year 2015. Persistency for dental and vision was 84.6 percent at year end 2016.

Unum UK Segment

Unum UK reported operating income of $29.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, a decline of 19.2 percent from $37.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. In local currency, operating income declined by 1.2 percent to £24.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to £24.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Premium income declined by 18.9 percent to $121.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $150.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. In local currency, premium income was £98.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, a decline of 0.9 percent from £99.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily resulting from a lack of growth in the in-force business. Net investment income declined by 17.2 percent to $28.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $34.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. In local currency, net

investment income increased 1.3 percent to £23.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to £22.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The benefit ratio in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 67.6 percent, compared to 69.9 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015, due primarily to a lower average size of new claims in the group life business.

Sales declined by 12.9 percent to $23.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $27.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. In local currency, sales for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased by 6.7 percent to £19.1 million. Persistency in the group long-term disability line of business was 89.5 percent for full year 2016 compared to 89.2 percent for full year 2015. Persistency in the group life line of business was 81.3 percent for full year 2016, compared to 80.0 percent for full year 2015.

Colonial Life Segment

Colonial Life reported a 3.0 percent increase in operating income to $79.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $77.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Premium income for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 6.8 percent to $360.4 million, compared to $337.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to sales growth and favorable persistency. Net investment income totaled $35.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $35.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The benefit ratio in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 51.4 percent, compared to 51.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Sales increased 6.5 percent to $181.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 from $169.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Persistency in Colonial Life was 79.3 percent for full year 2016 compared to 78.5 percent for full year 2015.

Closed Block Segment

The Closed Block segment reported operating income of $34.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to operating income of $28.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Premium income for this segment declined 2.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, due to expected policy terminations and maturities in the individual disability line of business which was partially offset by an increase in premium income for the long-term care line of business resulting from premium rate increases on certain in-force policies less the impact of policy terminations. Net investment income increased 0.9 percent to $343.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $340.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, due primarily to an increase in the level of invested assets. The interest adjusted loss ratio for the individual disability line of business declined to 84.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to 87.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015, due primarily to a fourth quarter of 2015 reduction in the claim reserve discount rate to recognize the impact on future portfolio yields from the higher than normal level of bond tenders and calls, which did not occur to the same degree in the fourth quarter of 2016. Underlying risk experience in this line was generally consistent year over year. The interest adjusted loss ratio for the long-term care line of business was 89.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 89.7 percent

in the fourth quarter of 2015, due primarily to favorable mortality experience and the impact of persistency on active life reserves.

Corporate Segment

The Corporate segment reported an operating loss of $37.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to an operating loss of $34.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The higher operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2016 was due primarily to lower net investment income and higher operating expenses.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We analyze our performance using non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure of "after-tax operating income" differs from net income as presented in our consolidated operating results and income statements prepared in accordance with GAAP due to the exclusion of net realized investment gains and losses and non-operating retirement-related gains or losses as specified in the reconciliations below. We believe operating income is a better performance measure and better indicator of the profitability and underlying trends in our business.

Realized investment gains or losses depend on market conditions and do not necessarily relate to decisions regarding the underlying business of our segments. Our investment focus is on investment income to support our insurance liabilities as opposed to the generation of realized investment gains or losses. Although we may experience realized investment gains or

UNUM IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK AND MARKETING BRAND OF UNUM GROUP AND ITS INSURING SUBSIDIARIES. 5

losses which will affect future earnings levels, a long-term focus is necessary to maintain profitability over the life of the business since our underlying business is long-term in nature, and we need to earn the interest rates assumed in calculating our liabilities.

The amortization of prior period actuarial gains or losses, a component of the net periodic benefit cost for our pensions and other postretirement benefit plans, is driven by market performance as well as plan amendments and is not indicative of the operational results of our businesses. We believe that excluding the amortization of prior period gains or losses from operating income or loss provides investors with additional information for comparison and analysis of our operating results. Although we manage our non-operating retirement-related gains or losses separately from the operational performance of our business, these gains or losses impact the overall profitability of our company and have historically increased or decreased over time, depending on plan amendments and market conditions and the resulting impact on the actuarial gains or losses in our pensions and other postretirement benefit plans.

We may at other times exclude certain other items from our discussion of financial ratios and metrics in order to enhance the understanding and comparability of our operational performance and the underlying fundamentals, but this exclusion is not an indication that similar items may not recur and does not replace net income or net loss as a measure of our overall profitability.

Information reconciling the Company’s outlook on after-tax operating income growth per share to the comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided. The only amounts excluded from after-tax operating income are those described in the preceding paragraphs. While the amortization of prior period actuarial gains or losses in our net periodic benefit cost for our pensions and other postretirement benefit plans is generally consistent in a given annual period and can reasonably be predicted, the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty realized investment gains and losses, which are affected by overall market conditions and also by factors such as an economic or political change in the country of the issuer, a regulatory change pertaining to the issuer’s industry, a significant improvement or deterioration in the cash flows of the issuer, unforeseen accounting irregularities or fraud committed by an issuer, movement in credit spreads, ratings upgrades or downgrades, a change in the issuer’s marketplace or business prospects, or any other event that significantly affects the issuers of the fixed maturity securities which the Company holds in its investment portfolio.

The following factors, in addition to other factors mentioned from time to time, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements: (1) sustained periods of low interest rates; (2) fluctuation in insurance reserve liabilities and claim payments due to changes in claim incidence, recovery rates, mortality and morbidity rates, and policy benefit offsets due to, among other factors, the rate of unemployment and consumer confidence, the emergence of new diseases, epidemics, or pandemics, new trends and developments in medical treatments, the effectiveness of our claims operational processes, and changes in government programs; (3) unfavorable economic or business conditions, both domestic and foreign; (4) legislative, regulatory, or tax changes, both domestic and foreign, including the effect of potential legislation and increased regulation in the current political environment; (5) investment results, including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, defaults, changes in credit spreads, impairments, and the lack of appropriate investments in the market which can be acquired to match our liabilities; (6) a cyber attack or other security breach could result in the unauthorized acquisition of confidential data; (7) the failure of our business recovery and incident management processes to resume our business operations in the event of a natural catastrophe, cyber attack, or other event; (8) increased competition from other insurers and financial services companies due to industry consolidation, new entrants to our markets, or other factors; (9) execution risk related to our technology needs; (10) changes in our financial strength and credit ratings; (11) damage to our reputation due to, among other factors, regulatory investigations, legal proceedings, external events, and/or inadequate or failed internal controls and procedures; (12) actual experience that deviates from our assumptions used in pricing, underwriting, and reserving; (13) actual persistency and/or sales growth that is higher or lower than projected; (14) changes in demand for our products due to, among other factors, changes in societal attitudes, the rate of unemployment, consumer confidence, and/or legislative and regulatory changes, including healthcare reform; (15) effectiveness of our risk management program; (16) contingencies and the level and results of litigation; (17) availability of reinsurance in the market and the ability of our reinsurers to meet their obligations to us; (18) ineffectiveness of our derivatives hedging programs due to changes in the economic environment, counterparty risk, ratings downgrades, capital market volatility, changes in interest rates, and/or regulation; (19) changes in accounting standards, practices, or policies; (20) fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates; (21) ability to generate sufficient internal liquidity and/or obtain external financing; (22) recoverability and/or realization of the carrying value of our intangible assets, long-lived assets, and

Unum Group Financial Results by Segment

We measure and analyze our segment performance on the basis of "operating revenue" and "operating income" or "operating loss", which differ from total revenue and income before income tax as presented in our consolidated statements of income due to the exclusion of net realized investment gains and losses and non-operating retirement-related gains or losses as specified in the following pages. These performance measures are in accordance with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, but they should not be viewed as a substitute for total revenue, income before income tax, or net income.

The increase in the adjustment related to unrealized investment gains and losses, relative to year-end 2015, was due to a decrease credit spreads, partially offset by an increase in U.S. Treasury rates. This adjustment is applied to our reserves and is consistent with a similar adjustment to our invested assets.

2016 Significant Items

• In August 2016, we acquired 100 percent of the shares and voting interests in H&J Capital, L.L.C., parent of Starmount Life Insurance Company and AlwaysCare Benefits (which collectively we refer to as Starmount) for an initial cash purchase price of $140.3 million, plus contingent cash consideration of $10.0 million. Starmount Life Insurance Company is an independent provider of dental and vision insurance in the U.S. workplace, and AlwaysCare Benefits is a nationally licensed, third-party administrator. The acquisition of Starmount will broaden our employee benefit offerings in the U.S. Starmount's dental and vision products and new dental and vision products to be marketed by Unum US are reported in our Unum US segment within our supplemental and voluntary product lines. Colonial Life dental and vision products are expected to be introduced in 2018. This acquisition, the results of which are included in our consolidated financial statements for the period subsequent to the date of acquisition, did not have a material impact on revenue, operating results, or sales for 2016.

• In January 2016, we adopted a Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) update that simplified the presentation of deferred debt issuance costs by requiring these costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt liability to which the deferred costs relate, rather than classifying the deferred costs as an asset. This classification is consistent with the treatment of debt discounts. We applied the amendments in the update retrospectively, adjusting all prior period balance sheets and related metrics throughout this document.

2015 Significant Items

• In September 2015, we acquired 100 percent of the common shares and voting interests in National Dental Plan Limited and associated companies (National Dental) for a total cash purchase price of £35.9 million or $54.3 million. National Dental, a provider of dental insurance in the U.K. workplace, is reported in our Unum UK segment as part of our supplemental product line. This acquisition, the results of which are included in our consolidated financial statements for the period subsequent to the date of acquisition, did not have a material impact on revenue or results of operations during 2015.

2014 Significant Items

• Fourth quarter of 2014 reserve increase of $698.2 million before tax and $453.8 million after tax related to long-term care.

• Fourth quarter of 2014 settlement loss of $64.4 million before tax and $41.9 million after tax related to a pension plan amendment.

• Second quarter of 2014 costs related to early retirement of debt of $13.2 million before tax and $10.4 million after tax.

• In December 2014, we retired 60 million shares of our treasury stock with an average total cost of $1,451.7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We analyze our performance using non-GAAP financial measures which exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are better performance measures and better indicators of the revenue and profitability and underlying trends in our business:

• Consolidated operating revenue, which excludes realized investment gains or losses;

• After-tax operating income or loss, which excludes realized investment gains or losses, non-operating retirement-related gains or losses, and certain other items, as applicable;

• Operating return on equity, which is calculated using after-tax operating income or loss and excludes from equity the unrealized gain or loss on securities and net gain on cash flow hedges;

• Leverage ratio, which excludes the unrealized gain or loss on securities and net gain on cash flow hedges, and the non-recourse debt and associated capital of Northwind Holdings, LLC; and

• Book value per common share, which is calculated excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).

Realized investment gains or losses; non-operating retirement-related gains or losses; unrealized gains or losses on securities and net gains on cash flow hedges depend on market conditions and do not necessarily relate to decisions regarding the underlying business of our Company. Leverage ratio and book value per common share excluding certain components of AOCI, certain of which tend to fluctuate depending on market conditions and general economic trends, are important measures. We also exclude certain other items from our discussion of financial ratios and metrics in order to enhance the understanding and comparability of our operational performance and the underlying fundamentals, but this exclusion is not an indication that similar items may not recur and does not replace the comparable GAAP measures in the determination of overall profitability.

Information reconciling the Company’s outlook on after-tax operating income growth per share to the comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided. The only amounts excluded from after-tax operating income are those described in the preceding paragraphs. While the amortization of prior period actuarial gains or losses in our net periodic benefit cost for our pensions and other postretirement benefit plans is generally consistent in a given annual period and can reasonably be predicted, the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty realized investment gains and losses, which are affected by overall market conditions and also by factors such as an economic or political change in the country of the issuer, a regulatory change pertaining to the issuer’s industry, a significant improvement or deterioration in the cash flows of the issuer, unforeseen accounting irregularities or fraud committed by an issuer, movement in credit spreads, ratings upgrades or downgrades, a change in the issuer’s marketplace or business prospects, or any other event that significantly affects the issuers of the fixed maturity securities which the Company holds in its investment portfolio. For a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" beginning on page 16.2, other than book value per common share, which is presented on page 2.

We updated our internal allocation formula used to determine allocated stockholders' equity for certain of our product lines within our operating segments, and, as a result, we are computing the average allocated equity for 2016 using internally allocated equity which was updated effective January 1, 2016. As a result, average equity for the year ended December 31, 2016 for certain of our segments will not compute using the historical allocated equity at December 31, 2015. There was no impact on total allocated equity or total average allocated equity.
