(1) Net income represents net income attributable to Ameriprise Financial.

MINNEAPOLIS — February 2, 2010 — Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) today reported net income of $305 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $237 million for the fourth quarter of 2009.  Net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $1.18 compared to $0.90 a year ago.

Operating earnings increased 30 percent to $312 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $240 million a year ago.  Operating earnings per diluted share were $1.21 in the fourth quarter of 2010, up 33 percent from $0.91 a year ago.  Operating earnings growth was driven by strength in Asset Management and Advice & Wealth Management.

Operating net revenues were $2.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010, up 19 percent from $2.2 billion a year ago, due to growth in asset-based fees driven by the Columbia Management acquisition, market appreciation and retail client net inflows, as well as increased client activity levels.

As of December 31, 2010 the company’s excess capital position remained more than $1.5 billion after deploying approximately $573 million in 2010 to repurchase approximately 13.1 million shares of its common stock.  The company’s investment portfolio ended the quarter with $1.5 billion in net unrealized gains.

Return on shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI was 11.5 percent for the 12 months ended December 31, 2010.  Operating return on equity excluding AOCI was 12.6 percent for the same time period, an increase of 340 basis points from a year ago.

For the full year, the company reported net income of $1.1 billion.  Operating earnings in 2010 were a record $1.2 billion, or $4.47 per diluted share, compared to $752 million in 2009, or $3.08 per diluted share.  Earnings growth was driven by improved client activity, market appreciation and retail client net inflows, as well as improved scale from the Columbia Management acquisition.

The company continued to generate a higher percentage of earnings from its less capital-demanding businesses. Excluding Corporate & Other segment results, Advice & Wealth Management and Asset Management accounted for 54 percent of fourth quarter 2010 pretax operating earnings compared to 30 percent in fourth quarter 2009.

“We delivered record earnings in 2010 and significantly increased operating return on equity, ending the year at 12.6 percent,” said Jim Cracchiolo, chairman and chief executive officer.  “This quarter marked a good finish to a great year, with strong earnings in our Advice & Wealth Management and Asset Management segments leading the way.  We continued to drive client asset growth and advisor productivity improvements, and we are realizing significant benefits from the Columbia Management acquisition.”

“Despite the backdrop of ongoing economic challenges, 2010 was a year of significant growth for Ameriprise Financial; I am pleased with our position and the momentum we generated.”

Notable Fourth Quarter Items

							Per Diluted Share
(in millions, except per share amounts, unaudited)	2010			2009			2010			2009
Variable annuity guarantees net of DAC and DSIC expense, after-tax(1)	$	(28	)	$	(3	)	$	(0.11	)	$	(0.01	)
Phoenix hail storm expense, after-tax(1)	$	(7	)	—			$	(0.03	)	—

(1) After-tax is calculated using the statutory tax rate of 35%.

The following notable after-tax items are included in fourth quarter operating earnings:

·A $28 million expense, or $0.11 per diluted share, related to variable annuity guarantees driven by RiverSource Life’s credit spread narrowing in the quarter and the impact of credit spread on a declining living benefit liability.  The company does not hedge the credit spread used for the accounting valuation and does not report the change in valuation as a realized gain or loss.

·A $7 million expense, or $0.03 per diluted share, from higher claims driven by a hail storm in the Phoenix area.

Additional variance items, including the impact of market appreciation on DAC and DSIC amortization (mean reversion), are included at the segment level.

Taxes

The effective tax rate on net income excluding net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests and the required consolidation of certain investment entities was 22.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010.  The lower effective tax rate in the quarter reduced the full-year effective tax rate to 23.7 percent.

Fourth Quarter 2010 Business Highlights

·Total owned, managed and administered assets were $673 billion at December 31, 2010, up 47 percent from a year ago as a result of the acquisition of Columbia Management, market appreciation and retail client net inflows.

·Total retail client assets in Advice & Wealth Management increased 12 percent year-over-year to $329 billion, reflecting market appreciation and strong retail client net inflows.

·Advisor productivity, measured as operating net revenue per advisor, increased 21 percent compared to a year ago.  Growth was primarily driven by improved client activity, increased assets under management from market appreciation and retail client net inflows, as well as the company’s focus on experienced advisors.  Total advisors declined 5 percent from a year ago reflecting the departure of lower producing advisors, partially offset by experienced advisor recruiting.

·Asset Management AUM increased 88 percent to $457 billion driven by the acquisition of Columbia Management and year-over-year equity market appreciation, partially offset by net outflows.  Retail net outflows improved to $290 million in the quarter, primarily due to net inflows at Threadneedle.  Institutional net outflows of $5.7 billion included approximately $4.7 billion in lower basis point insurance portfolios.

·Equity investment performance at Columbia Management and Threadneedle remained strong across one-, three- and five-year periods.

·Wrap assets increased 19 percent year-over-year to $113 billion and included $2.0 billion in net inflows in the fourth quarter of 2010.

·Variable annuity net inflows of $401 million were essentially flat compared to a year ago and more than offset continued fixed annuity net outflows.  During the quarter, the company discontinued new sales of RiverSource variable annuities in non-Ameriprise channels to further strengthen the risk and return characteristics of the business.  The fixed annuity business was not impacted by the decision.

·Variable universal life / universal life (VUL/UL) policyholder account balances increased 8 percent to $9.5 billion.

Liquidity and Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010

Conservative capital management

·The company continued to maintain more than $1.5 billion in excess capital.

·During the quarter, the company repurchased 3.8 million shares of its common stock for $200 million. For the year, the company repurchased 13.1 million shares of its common stock for $573 million.

·In 2010, the company returned 67 percent of 2010 net income to shareholders.

·RiverSource Life Insurance Company’s preliminary estimate of its risk-based capital ratio was 590 percent.

·The debt-to-total capital ratio attributable to Ameriprise Financial was 17.7 percent.  The debt-to-total capital ratio was 16.2 percent, excluding non-recourse debt, the impact of consolidated investment entities and the 75 percent equity credit for the junior subordinated notes.  The company’s cash flow coverage ratio increased to 13X.

·The company will continue to use enterprise risk management capabilities and product hedging to anticipate and mitigate risk.  The company’s variable annuity hedging program continued to perform well.

Substantial liquidity

·Cash and cash equivalents were $2.9 billion, with $1.3 billion at the holding company level and $1.8 billion in free cash.

·The company retired $340 million of debt maturing during the quarter.  The company’s next outstanding debt maturity is in 2015.

High-quality investment portfolio

·The total investment portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents, was $39.9 billion at year end and remained well positioned for continued stress in the credit and commercial mortgage markets.  The portfolio has an average duration of approximately 3.7 years, and the company’s asset liability management programs are positioned for a potential increase in interest rates.

·The company’s available for sale portfolio ended the quarter with $1.5 billion in net unrealized gains.  The $0.8 billion sequential decline in unrealized gains was primarily driven by the increase in Treasury rates in the quarter.

Operating net revenues increased 66 percent, or $308 million, to $773 million, driven by an increase in management fees due to growth in assets from the Columbia acquisition, market appreciation and a continued shift to higher revenue yielding asset classes.  Fourth quarter 2010 operating net revenues included lower hedge fund revenues compared to a year ago.

Operating expenses increased 57 percent, or $222 million, to $610 million, primarily reflecting increased ongoing general and administrative and distribution expenses from the acquisition and performance-based compensation.

For the year, the company realized approximately $75 million in integration gross synergies and approximately $100 million in integration-related expenses, which were consistent with original estimates.

Segment AUM increased 88 percent from a year ago to $457 billion, primarily due to the Columbia acquisition and market appreciation.  Retail net outflows declined to $290 million in the quarter driven by inflows at Threadneedle.  Institutional net outflows at Columbia and Threadneedle were primarily in lower basis point insurance portfolios.  The following provides a summary of the U.S. Asset Management and Threadneedle businesses:

·Columbia Management AUM were $355 billion at December 31, 2010 compared to $149 billion a year ago, driven by the Columbia acquisition and market appreciation, partially offset by net outflows.  Retail net outflows improved sequentially to $1.5 billion in the quarter.  The majority of the $4.0 billion in institutional net outflows in the quarter were in lower basis point insurance portfolios.  Equity and fixed income investment performance remained strong across one-, three- and five-year periods.

·Threadneedle AUM were $106 billion at December 31, 2010, up 8 percent from a year ago, reflecting year-over-year market appreciation and retail net inflows, partially offset by negative foreign currency translation and institutional net outflows.  Institutional net outflows in the quarter primarily reflected continued outflows in Zurich-related portfolios.  Total net outflows of $633 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 reflected net outflows in lower basis point institutional portfolios, partially offset by $1.2 billion in retail net inflows from higher sales from European investors.  Investment track records remained strong across one-, three- and five-year periods.

Annuities reported pretax income of $131 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.  Segment operating earnings were $128 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 down $13 million from a year ago, primarily due to an $18 million decrease in earnings from mean reversion and variable annuity guarantees.

Operating net revenues increased 6 percent, or $35 million, to $639 million, reflecting increased management fees from higher separate account balances and higher fees from variable annuity guarantees, partially offset by a decline in operating net investment income.

Operating expenses in the quarter included $43 million of net variable annuity living benefit expense, primarily due to the unhedged impact of reflecting RiverSource Life’s credit spread in the accounting valuation of the liability.  In addition, expenses included a $23 million decrease in DAC and DSIC amortization driven by the market impact on separate account balances (mean reversion).

Variable annuity net inflows of $401 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 were partially offset by continued fixed annuity net outflows reflecting low client demand given current interest rates.  During the quarter, the company discontinued new sales of RiverSource variable annuities in non-Ameriprise channels to further strengthen the risk and return characteristics of the business.

Protection reported pretax income of $85 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.  Segment operating earnings were $86 million, down $30 million from a year ago driven by increased auto and home losses.

Operating net revenues increased 2 percent, or $11 million, to $526 million, primarily due to higher operating investment income driven by improvement in portfolio rate and asset growth, as well as auto and home premium growth, and higher management fees from VUL separate account growth.

Operating expenses increased 10 percent, or $41 million, to $440 million, primarily due to a $45 million increase in benefit expenses. These increases included $11 million in catastrophe losses from a hail storm in the Phoenix area and a $16 million reserve increase for higher auto liability claims.  Increased expenses in the life and health business were primarily driven by higher reserves for universal life products with secondary guarantees. The company increased ongoing reserve levels for this product beginning in the third quarter of 2010.  In addition, while disability income and long-term care claims in the quarter were higher than in fourth quarter 2009, fourth quarter 2010 claims declined sequentially and were in line with expectations.

Life insurance in force declined 1 percent from a year ago to $192 billion.  Auto & Home continued to grow its policy counts, up 9 percent compared to a year ago.  Retention remained strong.
