MINNEAPOLIS – October 28, 2014 – Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE: AMP) today reported third quarter 2014 net income(1) of $420 million, or $2.17 per diluted share. Operating earnings were $407 million, with operating earnings per diluted share increasing 10 percent to $2.10 from a year ago.  Excluding unlocking(2) in both quarters, operating earnings increased 21 percent and operating earnings per diluted share increased 28 percent.

 

Third quarter 2014 operating results included a previously disclosed non-cash unlocking expense. This $28 million after-tax, or $0.14 per diluted share, unfavorable impact in the quarter compared to a benefit of $32 million after-tax, or $0.16 per diluted share, a year ago.

 

Excluding the impact of unlocking in both quarters:

 

·                  Operating earnings increased 21 percent from strong fee-based business growth and ongoing expense controls.

·                  Operating net revenues increased 8 percent to $2.9 billion driven by client net inflows and market appreciation.

·                  Operating expenses increased 5 percent to $2.3 billion reflecting higher volume-related distribution expense. General and administrative expenses remained well controlled, increasing 3 percent compared to a year ago.

 

In the quarter, the company returned $442 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. The company has returned $1.4 billion to shareholders through the first three quarters of the year.

 

“Ameriprise delivered another strong quarter, continuing the trend we set in the first half of the year,” said Jim Cracchiolo, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our fee-based businesses drove our growth, led by Advice & Wealth Management.”

 

“With our financial strength and cash flow generation, we continue to return significant capital to shareholders with more than $1 billion returned so far this year. And we’re delivering a differentiated level of return; our operating return on equity is now above 22 percent.”

 

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

(2)             Unlocking represents the company’s annual review of insurance and annuity valuation assumptions and model changes.

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

 

(2)     The company believes the presentation of operating earnings best represents the economics of the business. Operating
earnings, after-tax, exclude the consolidation of certain investment entities; net realized gains or losses; integration and restructuring charges; the market impact on variable annuity guaranteed benefits net of hedges and related deferred acquisition costs (DAC) and deferred sales inducement costs (DSIC) amortization; the market impact on indexed universal life benefits, net of hedges and related DAC amortization, unearned revenue amortization, and the reinsurance accrual; and income or loss from discontinued operations.

 

In the third quarter of the year, the company conducts its annual review of insurance and annuity valuation assumptions relative to current experience and management expectations. To the extent that expectations change as a result of this review, the company updates valuation assumptions and models and the impact is reflected as part of annual unlocking. As discussed in the segment commentary to follow, the unfavorable impact in the current quarter reflects the continued low interest rate environment, which the company estimated would increase over the past year. This impact was partially offset by a benefit from updating variable annuity living benefit withdrawal utilization assumption.

 

In addition, results in the quarter included an unfavorable $6 million pretax market impact on DAC and DSIC compared to a $13 million pretax benefit a year ago.

 

Taxes

 

The third quarter 2014 operating effective tax rate was 26.5 percent compared to 29.0 percent a year ago. The company estimates that its full year 2014 operating effective tax rate will be in the 28 to 30 percent range.

Third Quarter 2014 Business Highlights

 

·                  Total assets under management and administration grew 8 percent from a year ago to $797 billion driven by Ameriprise advisor client net inflows and market appreciation.

 

·                  Advice & Wealth Management experienced continued strong growth in client assets and flows with advisor client assets up 11 percent to $434 billion and wrap assets increasing 17 percent to $169 billion. Wrap net inflows in the quarter remained strong at $3.8 billion.

 

·                  Advisor productivity continues to improve. On a trailing 12-month basis, operating net revenue per advisor, excluding results from former banking operations, grew 13 percent to $483,000.

 

·                  Experienced advisor recruiting was strong in the quarter, with 81 experienced advisors moving their practices to Ameriprise.

 

·                  Asset Management segment AUM increased 5 percent to $505 billion, driven by market appreciation, partially offset by the cumulative effect of net outflows.

 

·                  The company has 121 four- and five-star rated funds, with 54 funds managed by Columbia Management and 67 managed by Threadneedle.

 

·                  Combined, Advice & Wealth Management and Asset Management generated 68 percent of company pretax operating earnings(1).  Excluding unlocking, these fee-based businesses drove 64 percent of company pretax operating earnings(1).

 

·                  Variable annuity policyholder account balances grew 5 percent to $76 billion and included $1.2 billion in new sales — 28 percent of sales in the quarter did not include living benefits.

 

·                  Variable Universal Life / Universal Life insurance account balances increased 6 percent to $11 billion.

 

·                  The company repurchased 2.7 million shares of common stock in the quarter for $331 million and paid $111 million in quarterly dividends.

 

·                  Excess capital increased to approximately $2.5 billion, including a reduction in the level of contingent capital held in the event of a severe market dislocation from $500 million to $250 million based upon the company’s risk assessment.

 

·                  During the quarter, the company issued $550 million in 10-year senior notes to enhance its capital structure given attractive rates. The proceeds are for general corporate purposes, which may include funding upcoming debt maturities.

 

·                  The company announced that it will match donations to Feeding America up to $500,000 through Thanksgiving. The annual Ameriprise Financial Challenge, which kicks off every September in support of Feeding America’s Hunger Action MonthTM, makes it easy for people to double the impact of their donations to Feeding America, the nation’s leading hunger-relief organization.

Advice & Wealth Management pretax operating earnings increased 35 percent to $205 million, reflecting strong revenue growth and expense controls. Third quarter 2014 pretax operating margin reached a record high of 16.9 percent compared to 14.2 percent a year ago.

 

Operating net revenues grew 13 percent to $1.2 billion driven by asset growth in fee-based accounts from client inflows and market appreciation.

 

Operating expenses increased 9 percent to $1 billion as business growth resulted in higher distribution expenses. General and administrative expenses were essentially flat compared to a year ago, as investments in the business were offset by ongoing expense discipline.

 

Total retail client assets grew 11 percent to $434 billion driven by client net inflows, new client acquisition and market appreciation. Wrap net inflows continued to be strong at $3.8 billion and brokerage cash balances were approximately $19 billion. The combination of asset growth and client activity drove a 13 percent increase in operating net revenue per advisor, excluding former banking operations, on a trailing 12-month basis.

Asset Management pretax operating earnings increased 21 percent to $208 million, driven by market appreciation and continued expense management, partially offset by the cumulative impact of net outflows.

 

Third quarter adjusted net pretax operating margin remained strong at 41.3 percent compared to 38.7 percent a year ago.

 

Operating net revenues grew 8 percent to $839 million, primarily driven by asset growth from market appreciation, partially offset by the impact of net outflows in prior quarters.

 

Operating expenses increased 4 percent to $631 million, reflecting higher distribution expenses from market growth as well as higher general and administrative expenses.

 

AUM grew 5 percent to $505 billion, reflecting market appreciation that more than offset the cumulative impact of net outflows. For the quarter, net outflows were $4.1 billion, reflecting strong inflows from third party institutional mandates, which were more than offset by net outflows in former parent company related portfolios and retail funds. Total retail net outflows included net outflows at Threadneedle as European investors’ geopolitical concerns pressured sales, as well as outflows from a portfolio manager departure earlier in the year.

Annuities pretax operating earnings were $128 million compared to $205 million a year ago. Unlocking and the market impact on DAC and DSIC resulted in a net $28 million unfavorable impact in the quarter, compared to $73 million benefit a year ago. Adjusting for unlocking and the market impact on DAC and DSIC, earnings were up 18 percent driven by higher variable annuity account balances from market appreciation.

 

Variable annuity operating earnings were $81 million and included a $38 million unfavorable impact from unlocking and the market impact on DAC and DSIC, compared to a $74 million benefit a year ago. Excluding these items, variable annuity earnings increased 12 percent from growth in account balances.  Account balances grew 5 percent to $76 billion driven by market appreciation, partially offset by net outflows, primarily from a closed block of variable annuities sold through third party channels. Variable annuity cash sales remained solid at $1.2 billion.

 

Fixed annuity operating earnings were $47 million and included a $10 million benefit from unlocking in the quarter. Excluding the impact of unlocking, earnings increased 42 percent from higher spread income. Both spread expansion and lapse experience were consistent with the company’s expectations.

(1)  Adjustments reflect the trailing twelve months’ sum of after-tax net realized gains/losses; market impact on variable annuity guaranteed benefits, net of hedges and related DSIC and DAC amortization; the market impact on indexed universal life benefits, net of hedges and related DAC amortization, unearned revenue amortization, and the reinsurance accrual; and integration/restructuring charges.  After-tax is calculated using the statutory tax rate of 35%.

(2)     Operating return on equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) is calculated using the trailing twelve months of earnings excluding the after-tax net realized gains/losses; market impact on variable annuity guaranteed benefits, net of hedges and related DSIC and DAC amortization; the market impact on indexed universal life benefits, net of hedges and related DAC amortization, unearned revenue amortization, and the reinsurance accrual; integration/ restructuring charges; and discontinued operations in the numerator, and Ameriprise Financial shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI and the impact of consolidating investment entities using a five-point average of quarter-end equity in the denominator.  After-tax is calculated using the statutory tax rate of 35%.
