NOTES

Definitions and Presentation

“Income (loss) from operations,” “operating revenues” and “return on capital” are non-GAAP financial measures and do not replace GAAP revenues, net income (loss) and return on stockholders’ equity. Detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are included in this statistical supplement.

• We exclude the after-tax effects of the following items from GAAP net income (loss) to arrive at income (loss) from operations:

• Realized gains and losses associated with the following (“excluded realized gain (loss)”):

• Sale or disposal of securities;

• Impairments of securities;

• Change in the fair value of embedded derivatives within certain reinsurance arrangements and the change in the fair value of related trading securities;

• Change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of our guaranteed living benefits within our variable annuities (“GLB”) net of the change in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge the changes in the embedded derivative (“GLB net derivatives results”);

• Net difference between the benefit ratio unlocking of SOP 03-1 reserves on our guaranteed death benefit (“GDB”) riders within our variable annuities and the change in the fair value of the derivatives excluding our expected cost of the hedging instruments (“GDB derivative results”); and

• Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities related to index call options we may purchase in the future to hedge contract holder index allocations applicable to future reset periods for our indexed annuity products as required under SFAS 133 and SFAS 157 (“indexed annuity forward-starting option”);

• Income (loss) from the initial adoption of changes in accounting principles;

• Income (loss) from reserve changes (net of related amortization) on business sold through reinsurance;

• Losses on early retirement of debt, including subordinated debt;

• Losses from the impairment of intangible assets; and

• Income (loss) from discontinued operations.

• Operating revenues represent GAAP revenues excluding the pre-tax effects of the following items, as applicable:

• Excluded realized gain (loss);

• Amortization of deferred gains arising from the reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance; and

• Revenue adjustments from the initial impact of the adoption of changes in accounting principles.

• Return on capital measures the effectiveness of our use of total capital, which includes equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income), debt, capital securities and junior subordinated debentures issued to affiliated trusts. Return on capital is calculated by dividing annualized income (loss) from operations (after adding back interest expense) by average capital. The difference between return on capital and return on stockholders’ equity represents the effect of leveraging on our consolidated results.

Income (loss) from operations, operating revenues and return on capital are financial measures we use to evaluate and assess our results. Our management and Board of Directors believe that these performance measures explain the results of our ongoing businesses in a manner that allows for a better understanding of the underlying trends in our current business because the excluded items are unpredictable and not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance of the business segments, and, in most instances, decisions regarding these items do not necessarily relate to the operations of the individual segments.

• Certain operating and statistical measures are included in this report to provide supplemental data regarding the performance of our current business. These measures include deposits, sales, net flows, first-year premiums, in force, spreads and assets under management.

• Sales as reported consist of the following:

• Universal life (“UL”) (excluding linked-benefit products) and variable universal life (“VUL”), including corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) and bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) - first year commissionable premiums plus 5% of excess premiums received, including an adjustment for internal replacements at approximately 50% of target;

• Whole life and term - 100% of first year paid premiums;

• Linked-benefit - 15% of premium deposits;

• Annuities - deposits from new and existing customers;

• Group Protection - annualized first year premiums from new policies; and

• Investment Management retail sales and institutional inflows - contributions, transfer in kind purchases and reinvested dividends for new and existing accounts.

Our roll forwards of deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) and value of business acquired (“VOBA”), deferred sales inducements (“DSI”) and deferred front-end loads (“DFEL”) disclose the net impact of prospective and retrospective unlocking on amortization for these accounts. This information helps explain a source of volatility in amortization.

• Prospective unlocking - In the third quarter of each year, we review and update our assumptions used in projecting our future estimated gross profits (“EGPs”) used to amortize DAC, VOBA, DFEL, DSI and the calculations of embedded derivatives and reserves for annuity and life insurance products with certain guarantees. We may also have prospective unlocking if we experience long-term or significant deviations from expected equity market returns requiring a change to best estimate projections of EGPs and reversion to the mean (“RTM”) prospective unlocking of DAC, VOBA, DFEL, DSI and other contract holder funds. These updates to assumptions result in unlocking that represents an increase or decrease to our carrying value of DAC, VOBA, DFEL, DSI and other contract holder funds based upon our updated view of future EGPs. The various assumptions that are reviewed include investment margins, mortality, retention and rider utilization. In addition, in the third quarter of each year during our annual prospective unlocking review, we may identify and implement actuarial modeling refinements which can result in prospective and retrospective unlocking impacts that impact DAC, VOBA, DSI, DFEL and SOP 03-1, SFAS 133 and SFAS 157 reserves.

iii

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we updated our RTM process for equity market performance, which resulted in an unfavorable $223 million, after-tax, impact to income (loss) from continuing operations. Details underlying the decrease were as follows (in millions):

Insurance fees:
Retirement Solutions - Annuities	$	26
Insurance Solutions - Life Insurance		16
Total insurance fees		42
Realized gain:
GLB		70
Total realized gain		70
Total revenues		112
Interest credited:
Retirement Solutions - Annuities		37
Total interest credited		37
Benefits:
Retirement Solutions - Annuities		8
Retirement Solutions - Defined Contribution		1
Total benefits		9
Underwriting, acquisition, insurance and other expenses:
Retirement Solutions - Annuities		305
Retirement Solutions - Defined Contribution		39
Insurance Solutions - Life Insurance		65
Total underwriting, acquisition, insurance and other expenses		409
Total benefits and expenses		455
Loss from continuing operations before taxes		(343	)
Federal income tax benefit		(120	)
Loss from continuing operations	$	(223	)

• Retrospective unlocking - On a quarterly basis, we “true-up” our models for actual gross profits and in-force experience for the period. To the extent that actual experience differs from previously expected, a positive or negative retrospective adjustment to the amortization of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL is recorded. This update to the models may generate a change in the amortization rate which results in a catch-up to the cumulative amortization, by recalculating the DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL balances assuming that the revised amortization rate had been used since issue.

• Our unlocking process also includes our reserves for our guaranteed benefit features and is described more fully in “Part II - Item 7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of our 2007 Form 10-K.

Book value per share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) is calculated based upon a non-GAAP financial measure. It is calculated by dividing (a) stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI, by (b) common shares outstanding. We provide book value per share excluding AOCI to enable investors to analyze the amount of our net worth that is primarily attributable to our business operations. We believe book value per share excluding AOCI is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Pre-tax operating margin is calculated as income (loss) from operations before federal income taxes divided by operating revenues.

After-tax operating margin is calculated as income (loss) from operations divided by operating revenues.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our television broadcasting, Charlotte radio and sports programming businesses. The divestiture of the sports programming business closed on November 30, 2007, the Charlotte radio station business closed on January 31, 2008 and the television broadcasting closed on March 31, 2008. Accordingly, in the periods prior to the closings, the assets and liabilities of these businesses not sold have been reclassified as held-for-sale for all periods presented, and are reported within other assets and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The results of operations of these businesses have been reclassified into income (loss) from discontinued operations for all periods presented on the Financial Highlights, Results Summary and Consolidated Statements of Income pages.

Inter-segment transfer refers to a transfer from Retirement Solutions - Annuities to Retirement Solutions - Defined Contribution.

Reclassifications

Subsequent to the second quarter of 2008, we announced the realignment of our segments under our former Individual Markets and Employer Markets operating businesses into two new operating businesses - Retirement Solutions and Insurance Solutions. In addition to the realignment, the results of our Executive Benefits business are no longer reported separately, but are included in our Life Insurance segment. We have restated all periods presented to conform to the new alignment of our businesses and segments. We view the changes to the existing segments as immaterial.

⁽¹⁾ Income (loss) from operations included restructuring charges, after-tax, of $5.3 million, or 2 cents per share, and $1.9 million, or 1 cent per share, for the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $6.9 million, or 3 cents per share, and $13.2 million, or 5 cents per share, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

⁽²⁾ See page 6 for detail.

⁽³⁾ During the second and fourth quarters of 2008, we recorded goodwill impairment of $83.4 million and $80.7 million, respectively, and FCC license intangible impairment of $91.6 million, pre-tax, $55.6 million, after-tax, and $124.6 million, pre-tax, $76.9 million, after-tax, respectively, for our media business. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we also recorded goodwill impairment on our Lincoln UK segment of $12.1 million, pre-tax, $7.9 million, after-tax. In addition, we recorded other intangible asset impairment of $0.2 million, pre-tax, $0.1 million, after-tax, in the fourth quarter of 2008.

⁽⁴⁾ Includes discontinued operations and the loss on disposal. See Discontinued Operations on page 28 for details.

⁽⁵⁾ The income used in the calculation of our diluted earnings per share is reduced by minority interest adjustments related to outstanding stock options under the Delaware Investments U.S., Inc stock option incentive plan. See page 5 for detail of minority interest adjustments.

⁽⁶⁾ As a result of the net loss in the fourth quarter of 2008, shares used in the earnings (loss) per share calculation represent basic shares, since using diluted shares would have been anti-dilutive to the calculation. In the absence of the net loss, weighted average diluted shares for the fourth quarter of 2008 would have totaled 257.6 million.

⁽¹⁾ As a result of the net loss in the fourth quarter of 2008, shares used in the earnings (loss) per share calculation represent basic shares, since using diluted shares would have been anti-dilutive to the calculation. In the absence of the net loss, weighted average diluted shares for the fourth quarter of 2008 would have totaled 257.6 million.

⁽²⁾ Indicated dividend divided by net income (loss) per share.

⁽³⁾ Indicated dividend divided by the closing price.

⁽⁴⁾ Equity used in calculation excludes AOCI and $375 million of senior notes issued in October of 2007 because the proceeds were reinvested in a pool of long-term assets. Capital securities are considered 25% debt and 75% equity.

⁽¹⁾ DAC refers to the associated amortization expense of DAC, VOBA, DSI, and DFEL and changes in other contract holder funds and funds withheld reinsurance liabilities.

⁽²⁾ We exclude from our definitions of income (loss) from operations and operating revenues any realized gains (losses) that are not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance of the business segments, and in many instances, decisions regarding these items do not necessarily relate to the operations of the individual segments.

⁽³⁾ Represents the net difference between the change in the fair value of the S&P 500 Index^® call options that we hold and the change in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of our indexed annuities products. The change in the fair value of the liability for the embedded derivative represents the amount that is credited to the indexed annuity contract.

⁽⁴⁾ Represents the portion of the GLB rider fees calculated as the attributed fees in excess of the net valuation premium. Net valuation premium represents a level portion of rider fees required to fund potential living benefit claims. The attributed fees are the fees used in the calculation of the embedded derivative and represent net valuation premium plus a margin for risk/profit, as well as the non-performance risk factor required by SFAS 157 benefit costs.

⁽⁵⁾ We include the change in the fair value of the derivatives that offsets the benefit ratio unlocking of our SOP 03-1 reserves on our GDB riders, including our expected cost of the hedging instruments in operating realized gain. We exclude from our definition of income (loss) from operations the net difference between the benefit ratio unlocking of SOP 03-1 reserves on our GDB riders and the change in the fair value of the derivatives excluding our expected cost of the hedging instruments.

⁽⁶⁾ See page 31 for detail.

⁽⁷⁾ Represents changes in the fair values of total return swaps (embedded derivatives) theoretically included in our various modified coinsurance and coinsurance with funds withheld reinsurance arrangements that have contractual returns related to various assets and liabilities associated with these arrangements. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are offset by the change in fair value of trading securities in the portfolios that support these arrangements.

⁽⁸⁾ Represents the net valuation premium, the change in fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of our GLB products and the change in the fair value of the derivative instruments we own to hedge, including the cost of hedging. Refer to the table above titled “Components of GLB Net Derivatives Results” for a detailed breakout of the GLB net derivatives results line item.

⁽⁹⁾ Represents changes in the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities related to index call options we may purchase in the future to hedge contract holder index allocations applicable to future reset periods for our indexed annuity products as required under SFAS 133 and SFAS 157. These fair values represent an estimate of the cost of the options we will purchase in the future, discounted back to the date of the balance sheet, using current market indications of volatility and interest rates, which may vary significantly from period to period due to a number of factors and therefore can provide results that are not indicative of the underlying trends. In addition, $9.6 million, pre-tax, and $6.3 million, after-tax, is included in the first quarter of 2008 due to the initial impact of adopting SFAS 157.

⁽¹⁰⁾ Amounts are before the associated amortization expense of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL.

⁽¹⁾ See pages 14 and 21 for details about fluctuations in the third quarter of 2008 for the following line items: expense assessments, benefits, underwriting, acquisition, insurance and other expenses and federal income tax expense.

⁽²⁾ See page 6 for detail.

⁽³⁾ See page 1 for detail.

⁽⁴⁾ Contains discontinued operations and the loss on disposition. See Discontinued Operations on page 28 for additional details.

⁽⁵⁾ The income used in the calculation of our diluted earnings per share is reduced by minority interest adjustments related to outstanding stock options under the Delaware Investments U.S., Inc stock option incentive plan. See page 5 for detail of our minority interest adjustments.

⁽⁶⁾ As a result of the net loss in the fourth quarter of 2008, shares used in the earnings (loss) per share calculation represent basic shares, since using diluted shares would have been anti-dilutive to the calculation. In the absence of the net loss, weighted average diluted shares for the fourth quarter of 2008 would have totaled 257.6 million.

⁽¹⁾ For the annuity products spread, the yield on earning assets is calculated as net investment income on fixed product investment portfolios divided by average invested assets on reserves. We exclude net investment income earned on investments supporting statutory surplus, reverse repurchase agreement interest expense and inter-segment cash management account interest expense from our yield and spread calculations. The average crediting rate is calculated using interest credited before DSI amortization, plus the immediate annuity reserve change (included within benefits), divided by average fixed account values net of co-insured account values. Fixed account values reinsured under modified co-insurance agreements are included in account values for this calculation since assets (and therefore margin) are retained under these agreements.

⁽²⁾ Comprised of the variable annuity expense assessments included in the expense assessments line item on page 14 and the amounts presented in the components of attributed fees on GLB as described in footnotes 4 and 5 and disclosed above.

⁽³⁾ Comprised of the GLB expense assessments included in the expense assessments line item on page 14 and the amounts presented in the components of attributed fees on GLB as described in footnotes 4 and 5 and disclosed above.

⁽⁴⁾ Represents the portion of the GLB rider fees calculated as the attributed fees in excess of the net valuation premium. Net valuation premium represents a level portion of rider fees required to fund potential claims for living benefits. The attributed fees are the fees used in the calculation of the embedded derivative and represent net valuation premium plus a margin that a theoretical market participant would include for risk/profit, as well as non-performance risk factor required by SFAS 157 benefit costs. This portion of the attributed fee is reported in realized gain and is included in income (loss) from operations and operating revenues.

⁽⁵⁾ Represents the portion of rider fee revenue for GLB required to fund the net valuation premium. This portion of the attributed fee is reported in realized gain and is excluded in income (loss) from operations and operating revenues.

⁽⁶⁾ Guaranteed withdrawal benefits include features that offer the contract holder a guarantee equal to the initial deposit (or contract value, if elected after issue), adjusted for any subsequent purchase payments or withdrawals.

⁽⁷⁾ For our guaranteed income benefits, we offer other product riders allowing variable annuity contract holders access and control during the income distribution phase of their contract. This added flexibility allows the contract holder to access the account value for transfers, additional withdrawals and other service features, such as portfolio rebalancing.

⁽²⁾ Includes mutual fund account values. Mutual funds are not included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

⁽³⁾ For the annuity products spread, the yield on earning assets is calculated as net investment income on fixed product investment portfolios divided by average invested assets on reserves. We exclude net investment income earned on investments supporting statutory surplus from our spread calculations. The average crediting rate is calculated as interest credited before DSI amortization, plus the immediate annuity reserve change (included within benefits), divided by the average fixed account values, including the fixed portion of variable annuities.

⁽¹⁾ The third quarter of 2008 included prospective unlocking model refinements that resulted in a $24.9 million decrease to expense assessments, a $76.4 million increase to benefits and a $49.4 million decrease to underwriting, acquisition, insurance and other expenses.

⁽²⁾ During the third quarter of 2008, model refinements attributable to our SOP 03-1 secondary guarantees resulted in increases to benefits and decreases to amortization of DAC and VOBA, net of interest, reported within underwriting, acquisition, insurance and other expenses and decreases to DFEL amortization, net of interest, reported within expense assessments.

⁽¹⁾ Sales consist of first year commissionable premiums of UL and VUL, including COLI and BOLI, plus 5% of excess premiums received, including an adjustment for internal replacements at approximately 50% of target; first year paid premiums for whole life and term products; and 15% of premium deposits for linked-benefit products.

⁽²⁾ COLI and BOLI are interest-sensitive and contain both UL and VUL products.

⁽³⁾ Includes UL, interest-sensitive whole life and the fixed investment option of variable universal life products.

⁽⁴⁾ For the interest-sensitive life products spread, the yield on earning assets is calculated as net investment income on fixed product investment portfolios divided by average earning assets. We exclude net investment income earned on investments supporting statutory surplus and reverse repurchase agreement interest expense from our yield and spread calculations. The average crediting rate is calculated using interest credited on life products divided by average fixed account values.

⁽⁵⁾ For the traditional life products, the yield on earning assets is calculated as net investment income on traditional investment portfolios divided by average earning assets. As of December 31, 2008, interest-sensitive products represented approximately 85% of total interest-sensitive and traditional earning assets.
