Full-year net income totaled $617 million, or $9.04 per diluted share, compared with $415 million, or $6.31 per diluted share in 2020. Adjusted operating income for the full year totaled $77 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, compared with $496 million, or $7.54 per diluted share the year before. Net foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable effect of $0.17 per diluted share on net income and $0.04 per diluted share on adjusted operating income as compared with the prior year. Net premiums totaled $12.5 billion, increasing 7% in 2021. Full-year premiums reflected favorable foreign currency effects of $250 million.
In the fourth quarter, consolidated net premiums totaled $3.4 billion, an increase of 4.5% over last year’s fourth quarter, with an adverse net foreign currency effect of $3 million. Compared with the year-ago period, excluding spread-based businesses and the value of associated derivatives, fourth quarter investment income increased 18%, reflecting a 5% higher average asset balance and strong variable investment income. Average investment yield increased to 4.70% in the fourth quarter from 4.20% in the prior year, primarily due to higher variable investment income.
The effective tax rate for the quarter and full year was a 176.3% benefit and a 10.6% expense, respectively, on pre-tax income, compared with the expected range of 23% to 24%. The income tax benefit for the quarter and low effective tax rate for the year is primarily due to the release of an uncertain tax liability. This reduction to tax expense was partially offset with an increase in tax expense on income earned in high tax jurisdictions.
The effective tax rate for the quarter was a 5.2% expense on the adjusted operating loss, compared with the expected range of 23% to 24%. The income tax expense on the pre-tax loss is primarily due to income earned in high tax jurisdictions and losses incurred in lower tax jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the full year was a 36.2% expense on adjusted operating income, compared with the expected range of 23% to 24%. The income tax expense was higher than expected due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings.
Anna Manning, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our fourth quarter was impacted by a meaningful level of COVID-19 mortality claims. Beyond the effect of COVID-19, our results were strong, as a number of our businesses performed well. We continue to see good new business activity both in our organic business and in the pipeline for in-force transactions.
“On the capital front, we deployed $106 million into in-force transactions and repurchased $50 million of common shares. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we ended the quarter with excess capital of approximately $1.3 billion.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
RGA uses a non-GAAP financial measure called adjusted operating income as a basis for analyzing financial results. This measure also serves as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under RGA’s management incentive programs. Management believes that adjusted operating income, on a pre-

tax and after-tax basis, better measures the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the Company’s continuing operations, primarily because that measure excludes substantially all of the effect of net
investment related gains and losses, as well as changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives and related deferred acquisition costs. These items can be volatile, primarily due to the credit market and
interest rate environment, and are not necessarily indicative of the performance of the Company’s underlying businesses. Additionally, adjusted operating income excludes any net gain or loss from discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, tax reform and other items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. The definition of adjusted operating income can vary by company and is not considered a substitute for GAAP net income.
Book value per share excluding the impact of AOCI is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is important in evaluating the balance sheet in order to ignore the effects of unrealized amounts primarily associated with mark-to-market adjustments on investments and foreign currency translation.
Adjusted operating income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as adjusted operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted operating return on equity is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as adjusted operating income divided by average stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI. Similar to adjusted operating income, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures better reflect the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the Company’s continuing operations, they also serve as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under RGA’s management incentive programs.
Reconciliations from GAAP net income, book value per share, net income per diluted share and average stockholders’ equity are provided in the following tables. Additional financial information can be found in the Quarterly Financial Supplement on RGA’s Investor Relations website at www.rgare.com in the “Financial Information” section.
