(1) Consistent with GAAP, premiums collected on universal life and investment contracts are considered deposits and excluded from revenues. For the quarters ended September 30, 2009, June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, premiums or deposits collected on investment and universal life contracts that are excluded from premium revenue above are $108.8 million, $100.1 million, $95.5 million, $29.2 million, and $18.8 million, respectively. Fees on universal life and investment contracts are revenue for GAAP and have been classified as premium. For the quarters ended September 30, 2009, June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, fees reflected as gross premiums written are $8.4 million, $7.7 million, $7.1 million, $5.6 million, and $4.5 million, respectively.

 

(2) We assess the performance of our Life business based on life underwriting income which includes net investment income.

Mortgage-backed and Asset-backed Fixed Income Portfolio

Market Value at September 30, 2009

 

Mortgage-backed securities total $11.2 billion, are rated predominantly AAA and comprise 26% of the fixed income portfolio. This compares to a 41% mortgage-backed weighting in representative indices of the U.S. fixed income market. The minimum rating for initial purchases of mortgage and asset backed securities is AAA.

 

ACE suspended new investments in sub-prime backed securities in 3Q 2007 and ALT-A, credit card, and auto backed securities in 1Q 2008 and suspended new investments in CMBS in Q1 2009.

 

Securities issued by Federal agencies with implied or explicit government guarantees total $7.6 billion and represent 83% of the residential mortgage-backed portfolio.

 

Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities are backed by prime collateral, and broadly diversified in over 280,000 loans. The portfolio’s loan-to-value ratio is approximately 70% with an average FICO score of 732. With this conservative loan-to-value ratio and subordinated collateral of 13%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 20% and real estate values would have to fall 30% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The comparable historical cumulative foreclosure rate is 8% for prime mortgages.

 

Within the portfolio of prime non-agency RMBS are $157 million of holdings classified as ALT-A. These ALT-A holdings are broadly diversified with over 60% issued prior to 2006. The average FICO score is 714 with a relatively conservative loan-to-value ratio of 72%. With subordinated collateral of 21%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 32% and real estate values would have to fall more than 27% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The comparable cumulative foreclosure rate is approximately 30%.

 

Commercial mortgage-backed securities of $2.1 billion are rated predominantly AAA, broadly diversified with over 25,000 loans and seasoned with 73% of the portfolio issued before 2006. The average loan-to-value ratio is approximately 66% with a debt service coverage ratio in excess of 1.7 and weighted average subordinated collateral of 27%. The cumulative foreclosure rate would have to rise to 42% and commercial real estate values would have to fall more than 30% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The current annual delinquency rate is 4%.

 

Sub-prime asset-backed securities (current holdings of $55 million) are broadly diversified in over 90,000 loans with an average loan-to-value ratio of approximately 81% and an average FICO score of 600. With subordinated collateral of 30%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 45% and real estate values would have to fall more than 19% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The comparable historical cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate is 32%.

 

Auto loan asset-backed securities are rated predominantly AAA with a short duration of approximately 0.5 years and average subordinated collateral of 17%. Annual default rates would have to rise to 16 times their current level of about 2.4% before principal is impaired.

U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Fixed Income Portfolio

 

The average credit quality of ACE’s US investment grade bond portfolio is very high at AA. 59% of investment grade securities holdings are rated AAA or guaranteed by governments or quasi-government agencies.

 

ACE prohibits investments in complex structured securities (e.g. CDOs, CLOs) and over-the-counter derivatives and does not permit the use of portfolio leverage.

 

Corporate bond holdings are highly diversified across industries and geographies. Issuer limits are based on credit rating (AA 2%, A 1%, BBB 0.5% of total portfolio) and are monitored on a daily basis by ACE via an internal compliance system.

Below Investment Grade Corporate Fixed income Portfolio

 

ACE manages high yield bonds as a distinct and separate asset class from investment grade bonds. ACE’s allocation to high yield bonds is explicitly set by internal management and is targeted to securities in the upper tier of credit quality (BB/B). Our minimum rating for initial purchase is BB/B.

 

Four external investment managers are responsible for high yield security selection and portfolio construction.

 

ACE’s high yield managers have a conservative approach to credit selection and very low historical default experience.

 

Securities holdings are highly diversified across industries and are subject to a 1.5% issuer limit as a percentage of high yield allocation (or 0.1% of total portfolio). The portfolio is comprised of over 500 issuers with our largest current issuer exposure at $68 million. ACE monitors position limits on a daily basis through an internal compliance system.

 

Derivative and structured securities (e.g. credit default swaps, CLOs) are not permitted in high yield portfolios.

These provisions provide additional guidance on the calculation of earnings per share and require unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) to be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In presenting our results, we have included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of book value per common share is provided on page 27.

 

In presenting our segment operating results, we have shown our performance with reference to underwriting results. Underwriting results are calculated by subtracting losses and loss expenses, policy benefits, policy acquisition costs, and administrative expenses from net premiums earned. We use underwriting results and operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including investment income, other income and expenses, interest and income tax expense, and net realized gains (losses).

 

The following non-GAAP measure is a common performance measurement and is defined as income excluding net realized gains (losses) and the related tax expense (benefit). We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude net realized gains (losses) and net realized gains (losses) included in other income (expense) related to partially owned entities because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. Income excluding net realized gains (losses) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP.
