Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Amounts in EUR millions, unless otherwise stated

 

 

 

1. Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim financial reporting’ as adopted by the European Union (EU) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). It does not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and should therefore be read together with the 2010 consolidated financial statements of AEGON N.V. as included in AEGON’s Annual Report for 2010. AEGON’s Annual Report for 2010 is available on the corporate website (www.aegon.com).

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and those financial instruments (including derivatives) and financial liabilities that have been measured at fair value. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Executive Board on May 11, 2011.

The published figures in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.

2. Significant accounting policies

All accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the 2010 consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as adopted by the European Union.

Taxes on income for the first quarter 2011 interim period are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments to standards and interpretations became effective in 2011:

 

 

Amendment to IAS 24 - Related parties disclosures.

 

 

Amendment to IFRS 1 - First time adoption.

 

 

Amendment to IFRIC 14 - Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement.

 

 

Amendment to IAS 32 - Classification of Rights Issues.

 

 

IFRIC 19 - Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments.

 

 

Improvements to IFRS (2010).

None of these new or revised standards and interpretations had a significant effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011.

Critical accounting estimates

Certain amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results may differ from the estimates made.

Exchange rates

The following exchange rates are applied for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements:

Income statement items: average rate 1 EUR = USD 1.3663 (2010: USD 1.3838); 1 EUR = GBP 0.8523 (2010: GBP 0.8865). Balance sheet items: closing rate 1 EUR = USD 1.4207 (2010: USD 1.3362); 1 EUR = GBP 0.8837 (2010: GBP 0.8608).

Underlying earnings

Certain assets held by AEGON Americas, AEGON The Netherlands and AEGON UK are carried at fair value and managed on a total return basis, with no offsetting changes in the valuation of related liabilities. These include assets such as investments in hedge funds, private equities, real estate limited partnerships, convertible bonds and structured products. Underlying earnings exclude any over-or underperformance compared to management’s long-term expected return on assets. Based on current holdings and asset returns, the long-term expected return on an annual basis is 8-10%, depending on asset class, including cash income and market value changes. The expected earnings from these asset classes are net of deferred policy acquisition costs (DPAC) where applicable.

In addition, certain products offered by AEGON Americas contain guarantees and are reported on a fair value basis, including the segregated funds offered by AEGON Canada and the total return annuities and guarantees on variable annuities of AEGON USA. The earnings on these products are impacted by movements in equity markets and risk free interest rates. Short-term developments in the financial markets may therefore cause volatility in earnings. Included in underlying earnings is a long-term expected return on these products and excluded is any over- or underperformance compared to management’s expected return. The fair value movements of certain guarantees and the fair value change of derivatives that hedge certain risks on these guarantees of AEGON The Netherlands and Variable Annuities Europe (included in New Markets) are excluded from underlying earnings, the long-term expected return for these guarantees is set at zero.

Holding and other activities include certain issued bonds that are held at fair value through profit or loss. The interest rate risk on these bonds is hedged using swaps. The fair value movement resulting from changes in AEGON’s credit spread used in the valuation of these bonds are excluded from underlying earnings and reported under fair value items.

Fair value items

Fair value items include the ‘over’ or ‘under’ performance of investments and guarantees held at fair value for which the expected long-term return is included in underlying earnings.

In addition, hedge ineffectiveness on hedge transactions, fair value changes on economic hedges without natural offset in earnings and for which no hedge accounting is applied and fair value movements on real estate are included under fair value items.

Realized gains or losses on investments

Includes realized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, as well as mortgage and loan portfolios.

Impairment charges / reversals

Includes impairments (reversals) on available-for-sale debt securities and impairments on shares including the effect of deferred policyholder acquisition costs and mortgage and loan portfolios on amortized cost and associates.

Other income or charges

Other income or charges is used to report any items which cannot be directly allocated to a specific line of business. Also items that are outside the normal course of business are included under this heading.

Other charges include restructuring charges that are considered other charges for segment reporting purposes because these are outside the normal course of business. In the condensed consolidated income statement, these charges are included in operating expenses.

Run-off businesses

Includes underlying results of business units where management has decided to exit the market and to run-off the existing block of business. Currently, this line includes the run-off of the institutional spread-based business, structured settlements blocks of business, BOLI/COLI business and Life Reinsurance business in the United States. AEGON has other blocks of businesses for which sales have been discontinued and of which the earnings are included in underlying earnings.

On April 26, 2011, AEGON publicly announced the decision of its Executive Board to divest its life reinsurance activities, Transamerica Reinsurance, to SCOR. These activities are no longer reported in underlying earnings but are reflected in the run-off businesses line in the segment reporting (both in 2011 and in 2010). More details on this transaction are given in note 19.

Also, in December 2010, AEGON publicly announced the decision of its Executive Board to discontinue new sales of executive non-qualified benefit plans and related Bank-Owned

and Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI/COLI) business in the United States. Earnings from the BOLI/COLI business is no longer reported in underlying earnings but reflected in the run-off business line in the segment reporting (both in 2011 and in 2010).

The comparative figures, affecting the Americas segment, regarding the underlying earnings and the run-off businesses have been revised as follows:

Share in earnings of associates

Earnings from the company’s associates in insurance companies in Spain, India, Brazil and Mexico are reported on an underlying earnings basis. Other associates are included on a net income basis.

Non-IFRS measures

This report includes the non-IFRS financial measure: underlying earnings before tax. The reconciliation of this measure to the most comparable IFRS measures is presented in the tables in this note. This non-IFRS measure is calculated by consolidating on a proportionate basis the revenues and expenses of the company’s associated companies in Spain, India, Brazil and Mexico. AEGON believes that its non-IFRS measure provides meaningful information about the underlying operating results of our business including insight into the financial measures that senior management uses in managing the business.

 

Among other things senior management is compensated based in part on AEGON’s results against targets using the non-IFRS measure presented here. While many other insurers in AEGON’s peer group present substantially similar non-IFRS measures, the non-IFRS measure presented in this document may nevertheless differ from the non-IFRS measures presented by other insurers. There is no standardized meaning to these measures under IFRS or any other recognized set of accounting standards and readers are cautioned to consider carefully the different ways in which AEGON and its peers present similar information before comparing them.

AEGON believes the non-IFRS measure shown herein, when read together with the reported IFRS financial statements, provides meaningful supplemental information for the investing public to evaluate AEGON’s business after eliminating the impact of current IFRS accounting policies for financial instruments and insurance contracts, which embed a number of accounting policy alternatives that companies may select in presenting their results (i.e. companies can use different local GAAPs) and that can make the comparability from period to period difficult.

EUR 375 million of class A1 notes with an expected weighted average life of 1.9 years and priced at par with a coupon of three month Euribor plus 0.95 %.

 

 

EUR 1,125 million of class A2 notes with an expected weighted average life of 4.9 years and priced at par with a coupon of three month Euribor plus 1.35 %.

The securities were issued under the Dutch SAECURE program. The net proceeds will be used to finance a part of the existing Dutch mortgage portfolio of AEGON The Netherlands.

On April 26, 2011, AEGON announced the divestment of its life reinsurance business, Transamerica Reinsurance, to SCOR. The divestment will result in a total after-tax consideration of USD 1.4 billion, consisting of cash proceeds of USD 0.9 billion and capital release of USD 0.5 billion.

Under the agreement, AEGON will divest its global life reinsurance activities with the exception of selected blocks of business that are to be retained by AEGON. The retained businesses with a book value of USD 0.4 billion comprise mainly the variable annuity guarantee business.

The divestment of Transamerica Reinsurance (TARe) will consist of a series of reinsurance agreements between various statutory insurance entities and SCOR for the US domestic business. In addition, SCOR will acquire Transamerica International Reinsurance Ireland (TIRI), a company that includes reinsurance

contracts that are assumed by AEGON US domestic companies which have been retroceded to TIRI, and will take over the operational assets and systems of TARe.

The business residing in Transamerica International Reinsurance, Bermuda (TIRe) will be retroceded to SCOR. TIRe will continue to provide reserve credit security for redundant reserves to AEGON USA’s ceding companies. AEGON will maintain approximately half of the collateral requirements needed for reinsurance reserve financing. This obligation provides reserve credit security and will run-off over 15 years.

Structuring the transaction as a reinsurance arrangement leaves AEGON exposed to a counter-party risk of SCOR not performing on the reinsurance contracts as the business matures. For such an event, certain levels of collateral related to the reinsured contracts will be placed in trust for AEGON’s benefit. SCOR is rated A2/A by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, both with positive outlooks.

The transaction will be accounted for primarily as a reinsurance transaction between AEGON and SCOR. Certain fixed assets and certain investment assets will be transferred with any related gain (loss) being recognized. As a result, the divestment will have no significant impact on shareholders’ equity. Earnings on the business retained as well as amortization of prepaid cost of reinsurance will be reflected in the run-off businesses line in AEGON’s segment reporting.

The reinsurance business being retained by AEGON, which is comprised primarily of the variable annuity guarantee business, is substantially hedged for financial market risks and produces normalized results which are negligible. In addition, various administration, service and asset management contracts are part of the transaction. The combined result, consisting primarily of the amortization of the prepaid cost of reinsurance, is approximately USD 40 million before tax per annum initially. These costs are expected to trend down as the contracts mature. Transamerica Reinsurance realized underlying earnings before tax of USD 105 million in 2010.
