NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Formation of Genworth and Basis of Presentation

Genworth Holdings, Inc. (“Genworth Holdings”) (formerly known as Genworth Financial, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware in 2003 in preparation for an initial public offering of Genworth common stock, which was completed on May 28, 2004. On April 1, 2013, Genworth Holdings completed a holding company reorganization pursuant to which Genworth Holdings became a direct, 100% owned subsidiary of a new public holding company that it had formed. The new public holding company was incorporated in Delaware on December 5, 2012, in connection with the reorganization, under the name Sub XLVI, Inc., and was renamed Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth Financial”) upon the completion of the reorganization.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include on a consolidated basis the accounts of Genworth Financial and the affiliate companies in which it holds a majority voting interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

References to “Genworth,” the “Company,” “we” or “our” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes thereto are, unless the context otherwise requires, to Genworth Financial on a consolidated basis.

We have the following operating segments:

 

    International Mortgage Insurance. We are a leading provider of mortgage insurance products and related services in Canada and Australia and also participate in select European and other countries. Our products predominantly insure prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. We also selectively provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk, basis that aids in the sale of mortgages to the capital markets and helps lenders manage capital and risk. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate efficiently and manage risk.

 

    U.S. Mortgage Insurance. In the United States, we offer mortgage insurance products predominantly insuring prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. We selectively provide mortgage insurance on a bulk basis with essentially all of our bulk writings being prime-based. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate efficiently and manage risk.

 

    U.S. Life Insurance. We offer and manage a variety of insurance and fixed annuity products in the United States. Our primary products include long-term care insurance, life insurance and fixed annuities.

 

    Runoff. The Runoff segment includes the results of non-strategic products which are no longer actively sold. Our non-strategic products primarily include our variable annuity, variable life insurance, institutional, corporate-owned life insurance and other accident and health insurance products. Institutional products consist of funding agreements, funding agreements backing notes (“FABNs”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”). We no longer offer retail and group variable annuities but continue to service our existing blocks of business.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include debt financing expenses that are incurred at the Genworth Holdings level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, eliminations of inter-segment transactions and the results of other non-core businesses that are managed outside of our operating segments, including discontinued operations.

In June 2015, our Board of Directors approved a transaction to sell our lifestyle protection insurance business, which had previously been designated as a non-core business. As the held-for-sale criteria were satisfied during the second quarter of 2015, we recorded an estimated loss to reduce the carrying value of the business to the fair value less pension settlement costs and closing costs. Our lifestyle protection insurance business, previously the only business in the International Protection segment, has been reported as discontinued operations and its financial position, results of operations and cash flows are separately reported for all periods presented. All prior periods reflected herein have been re-presented on this basis. See note 15 for additional information.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary by management to present a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

We have revised our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows previously reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to reflect a correction related to the calculation of the change in reinsurance recoverable that impacted the lines “insurance reserves” and “other liabilities, policy and contract claims and other policy-related balances.” As a result, the change in insurance reserves decreased by $514 million and the change in other liabilities, policy and contract claims and other policy-related balances increased by $514 million. The revisions had no impact on net cash flows from operating activities or the total change in cash and cash equivalents within our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Additionally, there was no impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet or unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income.

(2) Accounting Changes

a) Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

On January 1, 2015, we early adopted new accounting guidance related to measuring the financial assets and financial liabilities of a consolidated collateralized financing entity. The guidance addresses the accounting for the measurement difference between the fair value of financial assets and the fair value of financial liabilities of a collateralized financing entity. The new guidance provides an alternative whereby a reporting entity could measure the financial assets and financial liabilities of the collateralized financing entity in its consolidated financial statements using the more observable of the fair values. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2015, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financings. The new guidance changed the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing such that they were consistent with secured borrowing accounting. In addition, the guidance required new disclosures for all repurchase agreements and securities

lending transactions which were effective beginning in the second quarter of 2015. We do not have repurchase-to-maturity transactions, but have repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions that are subject to additional disclosures. This new guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements but did impact our disclosures.

On January 1, 2015, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the accounting for investments in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit. The new guidance permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for investments in qualified affordable housing projects by amortizing the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax benefits received and recognize the net investment performance as a component of income tax expense (called the proportional amortization method) if certain conditions are met. The new guidance requires use of the equity method or cost method for investments in qualified affordable housing projects not accounted for using the proportional amortization method. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2015, we early adopted new accounting guidance related to the accounting for share-based payment awards when the terms of an award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. The guidance requires that such performance targets should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of an award, and that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved. We have a performance stock unit plan where awards for employees who are retirement eligible can vest on a pro-rata basis upon retirement even if retirement occurs before the performance target is achieved. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

b) Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new disclosure requirements for short-duration insurance contracts. The new guidance requires additional disclosures on short-duration policy and contract claims liabilities for incurred and paid claims development, unpaid claims and claims frequency. These new disclosures will be effective for us on December 31, 2016 with early adoption permitted and will only impact our mortgage insurance disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued new guidance further clarifying that companies can make the election to present debt issuance costs related to revolving credit facilities as either an asset or as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The new guidance related to debt issuance costs are both effective for us on January 1, 2016 and are required to be applied on a retrospective basis. We plan to early adopt this new guidance as of December 31, 2015 and expect approximately $45 million presented in other assets to be deducted from debt liabilities in our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In February 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to consolidation. This guidance primarily impacts limited partnerships and similar legal entities, evaluation of fees paid to a decision maker as a variable interest, the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination and certain investment funds. This guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. While we are in the process of determining the impact of this new guidance, we do not believe the impact will be significant to our consolidated financial statements.

(1)  Under applicable accounting guidance, companies in a loss position are required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share. Therefore, as a result of our loss from continuing operations available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we were required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as the inclusion of shares for stock options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights of 1.3 million, 5.4 million and 6.4 million, respectively, would have been antidilutive to the calculation. If we had not incurred a loss from continuing operations available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, dilutive potential weighted-average common shares outstanding would have been 498.7 million, 502.0 million and 502.8 million, respectively.

We generally intend to hold securities in unrealized loss positions until they recover. However, from time to time, our intent on an individual security may change, based upon market or other unforeseen developments. In such instances, we sell securities in the ordinary course of managing our portfolio to meet diversification, credit quality, yield and liquidity requirements. If a loss is recognized from a sale subsequent to a balance sheet date due to these unexpected developments, the loss is recognized in the period in which we determined that we have the intent to sell the securities or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery. The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $186 million and $215 million, respectively, which was approximately 93% and 98%, respectively, of book value. The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $470 million and $721 million, respectively, which was approximately 94% and 95%, respectively, of book value.

As indicated in the tables above, the majority of the securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months were investment grade and less than 20% below cost. These unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the increase in interest rates, mostly concentrated in our corporate securities. For securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, the average fair value percentage below cost was approximately 5% as of September 30, 2015.

Fixed Maturity Securities In A Continuous Unrealized Loss Position For 12 Months Or More

Of the $78 million of unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities in a continuous unrealized loss for 12 months or more that were less than 20% below cost, the weighted-average rating was “BBB” and approximately 70% of the unrealized losses were related to investment grade securities as of September 30, 2015. These unrealized losses were predominantly attributable to corporate securities and municipal securities including fixed rate securities purchased in a lower rate environment and variable rate securities purchased in a higher rate and lower spread environment. The average fair value percentage below cost for these securities was approximately 6% as of September 30, 2015. See below for additional discussion related to fixed maturity securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more with a fair value that was more than 20% below cost.

The following tables present the concentration of gross unrealized losses and fair values of fixed maturity securities that were more than 20% below cost and in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more by asset class as of September 30, 2015:

For all securities in an unrealized loss position, we expect to recover the amortized cost based on our estimate of the amount and timing of cash flows to be collected. We do not intend to sell nor do we expect that we will be required to sell these securities prior to recovering our amortized cost. See below for further discussion of gross unrealized losses by asset class.

Non-U.S. corporate

As indicated above, $46 million of gross unrealized losses were related to non-U.S. corporate fixed maturity securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months and were more than 20% below cost. Of the total unrealized losses for non-U.S. corporate fixed maturity securities, $18 million, or 39%, related to the industrial sector. Reduced overseas demand for metals, particularly copper and oil, has led to a decline in commodities pricing, adversely impacting the fair value of these securities.

We expect that our investments in non-U.S. corporate securities will continue to perform in accordance with our expectations about the amount and timing of estimated cash flows. Although we do not anticipate such events, it is reasonably possible that issuers of our investments in non-U.S. corporate securities may perform worse than current expectations. Such events may lead us to recognize write-downs within our portfolio of non-U.S. corporate securities in the future.

Structured Securities

Of the $31 million of unrealized losses related to structured securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more and were more than 20% below cost, none related to other-than-temporarily impaired securities where the unrealized losses represented the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in OCI. The extent and duration of the unrealized loss position on our structured securities was primarily due to credit spreads that have widened since acquisition. Additionally, the fair value of certain structured securities has been impacted from high risk premiums being incorporated into the valuation as a result of the amount of potential losses that may be absorbed by the security in the event of additional deterioration in the U.S. economy.

While we consider the length of time each security had been in an unrealized loss position, the extent of the unrealized loss position and any significant declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date in our evaluation of impairment for each of these individual securities, the primary factor in our evaluation of impairment is the expected performance for each of these securities. Our evaluation of expected performance is based on the historical performance of the associated securitization trust as well as the historical performance of the underlying collateral. Our examination of the historical performance of the securitization trust included consideration of the following factors for each class of securities issued by the trust: (i) the payment history, including failure to make scheduled payments; (ii) current payment status; (iii) current and historical outstanding balances; (iv) current levels of subordination and losses incurred to date; and (v) characteristics of the underlying collateral. Our examination of the historical performance of the underlying collateral included: (i) historical default rates, delinquency rates, voluntary and involuntary prepayments and severity of losses, including recent trends in this information; (ii) current payment status; (iii) loan to collateral value ratios, as applicable; (iv) vintage; and (v) other underlying characteristics such as current financial condition.

We use our assessment of the historical performance of both the securitization trust and the underlying collateral for each security, along with third-party sources, when available, to develop our best estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. These estimates reflect projections for future delinquencies, prepayments, defaults and losses for the assets that collateralize the securitization trust and are used to determine the expected cash flows for our security, based on the payment structure of the trust. Our projection of expected cash flows is primarily based on the expected performance of the underlying assets that collateralize the securitization trust and is not directly impacted by the rating of our security. While we consider the rating of the security as an indicator of the financial condition of the issuer, this factor does not have a significant impact on our expected cash flows for each security. In limited circumstances, our expected cash flows include expected payments from reliable financial guarantors where we believe the financial guarantor will have sufficient assets to pay claims under the financial guarantee when the cash flows from the securitization trust are not sufficient to make scheduled payments. We then discount the expected cash flows using the effective yield of each security to determine the present value of expected cash flows.

Based on this evaluation, the present value of expected cash flows was greater than or equal to the amortized cost for each security. Accordingly, we determined that the unrealized losses on each of our structured securities represented temporary impairments as of September 30, 2015.

Despite the considerable analysis and rigor employed on our structured securities, it is reasonably possible that the underlying collateral of these investments may perform worse than current market expectations. Such events may lead to adverse changes in cash flows on our holdings of structured securities and future write-downs within our portfolio of structured securities.

As of September 30, 2015, $7,703 million of our investments (excluding mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities) were subject to certain call provisions.

As of September 30, 2015, securities issued by finance and insurance, consumer—non-cyclical, utilities and energy industry groups represented approximately 22%, 13%, 12% and 12%, respectively, of our domestic and foreign corporate fixed maturity securities portfolio. No other industry group comprised more than 10% of our investment portfolio. This portfolio is widely diversified among various geographic regions in the United States and internationally, and is not dependent on the economic stability of one particular region.

As of September 30, 2015, we did not hold any fixed maturity securities in any single issuer, other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, which exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity.

(e) Commercial Mortgage Loans

Our mortgage loans are collateralized by commercial properties, including multi-family residential buildings. The carrying value of commercial mortgage loans is stated at original cost net of principal payments, amortization and allowance for loan losses.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no commercial mortgage loans that were past due for more than 90 days and still accruing interest. We also did not have any commercial mortgage loans that were past due for less than 90 days on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

We evaluate the impairment of commercial mortgage loans on an individual loan basis. As of September 30, 2015, our commercial mortgage loans greater than 90 days past due included a loan with appraised values in excess of the recorded investment and the current recorded investment of the loan was expected to be recoverable.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, we modified or extended 15 and 28 commercial mortgage loans, respectively, with a total carrying value of $93 million and $254 million, respectively. All of these modifications or extensions were based on current market interest rates, did not result in any forgiveness in the outstanding principal amount owed by the borrower and were not considered troubled debt restructurings.

As of September 30, 2015, we had an individually impaired commercial mortgage loan included within the office property type with a recorded investment of $5 million, an unpaid principal balance of $6 million and charge-offs of $1 million. As of December 31, 2014, we had an individually impaired commercial mortgage loan included within the industrial property type with a recorded investment of $15 million, an unpaid principal balance of $16 million and charge-offs of $1 million, which were recorded in the first quarter of 2014. As of September 30, 2015, this loan had a recorded investment of $14 million, an unpaid principal balance of $15 million and interest income of $1 million.

In evaluating the credit quality of commercial mortgage loans, we assess the performance of the underlying loans using both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Certain risks associated with commercial mortgage loans can be evaluated by reviewing both the loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratio to understand both the probability of the borrower not being able to make the necessary loan payments as well as the ability to sell the underlying property for an amount that would enable us to recover our unpaid principal balance in the event of default by the borrower. The average loan-to-value ratio is based on our most recent estimate of the fair value for the underlying property which is evaluated at least annually and updated more frequently if necessary to better indicate risk associated with the loan. A lower loan-to-value indicates that our loan value is more likely to be recovered in the event of default by the borrower if the property was sold. The debt service coverage ratio is based on “normalized” annual net operating income of the property compared to the payments required under the terms of the loan. Normalization allows for the removal of annual one-time events such as capital expenditures, prepaid or late real estate tax payments or non-recurring third-party fees (such as legal, consulting or contract fees). This ratio is evaluated at least annually and updated more frequently if necessary to better indicate risk associated with the loan. A higher debt service coverage ratio indicates the borrower is less likely to default on the loan. The debt service coverage ratio should not be used without considering other factors associated with the

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had floating rate commercial mortgage loans of $7 million and $9 million, respectively.

(f) Restricted Commercial Mortgage Loans Related To Securitization Entities

We have a consolidated securitization entity that holds commercial mortgage loans that are recorded as restricted commercial mortgage loans related to securitization entities.

(g) Restricted Other Invested Assets Related To Securitization Entities

We have consolidated securitization entities that hold certain investments that are recorded as restricted other invested assets related to securitization entities. The consolidated securitization entities hold certain investments as trading securities and whereby the changes in fair value are recorded in current period income (loss). The trading securities comprise asset-backed securities, including residual interest in certain policy loan securitization entities and highly rated bonds that are primarily backed by credit card receivables.

(5) Derivative Instruments

Our business activities routinely deal with fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, currency exchange rates and other asset and liability prices. We use derivative instruments to mitigate or reduce certain of these risks. We have established policies for managing each of these risks, including prohibitions on derivatives market-making and other speculative derivatives activities. These policies require the use of derivative instruments in concert with other techniques to reduce or mitigate these risks. While we use derivatives to mitigate or reduce risks, certain derivatives do not meet the accounting requirements to be designated as hedging instruments and are denoted as “derivatives not designated as hedges” in the following disclosures. For derivatives that meet the accounting requirements to be designated as hedges, the following disclosures for these derivatives are denoted as “derivatives designated as hedges,” which include both cash flow and fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges

Certain derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded as a component of OCI. We designate and account for the following as cash flow hedges when they have met the effectiveness requirements: (i) various types of interest rate swaps to convert floating rate investments to fixed rate investments; (ii) various types of interest rate swaps to convert floating rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities; (iii) receive U.S. dollar fixed on foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign

The total of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of $2,130 million, net of taxes, recorded in stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2015 is expected to be reclassified to net income (loss) in the future, concurrently with and primarily offsetting changes in interest expense and interest income on floating rate instruments and interest income on future fixed rate bond purchases. Of this amount, $68 million, net of taxes, is expected to be reclassified to net income (loss) in the next 12 months. Actual amounts may vary from this amount as a result of market conditions. All forecasted transactions associated with qualifying cash flow hedges are expected to occur by 2047. There were immaterial amounts reclassified to net income (loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 in connection with forecasted transactions that were no longer considered probable of occurring.

Fair Value Hedges

Certain derivative instruments are designated as fair value hedges. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in net income (loss). In addition, changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged portion of the underlying instrument are reported in net income (loss). We designate and account for the following as fair value hedges when they have met the effectiveness requirements: (i) interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate liabilities into floating rate liabilities; (ii) cross currency swaps to convert non-U.S. dollar fixed rate liabilities to floating rate U.S. dollar liabilities; and (iii) other instruments to hedge various fair value exposures of investments.

There were no pre-tax income (loss) effects of fair value hedges and related hedged items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges

We also enter into certain non-qualifying derivative instruments such as: (i) interest rate swaps and financial futures to mitigate interest rate risk as part of managing regulatory capital positions; (ii) credit default swaps to enhance yield and reproduce characteristics of investments with similar terms and credit risk; (iii) equity index options, equity return swaps, interest rate swaps and financial futures to mitigate the risks associated with liabilities that have guaranteed minimum benefits, fixed index annuities and indexed universal life; (iv) interest rate swaps where the hedging relationship does not qualify for hedge accounting; (v) credit default swaps to mitigate loss exposure to certain credit risk; (vi) foreign currency swaps, options and forward contracts to mitigate currency risk associated with non-functional currency investments held by certain foreign subsidiaries and future dividends or other cash flows from certain foreign subsidiaries to our holding company; and (vii) equity index options to mitigate certain macroeconomic risks associated with certain foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, we provide GMWBs on certain variable annuities that are required to be bifurcated as embedded derivatives. We also offer fixed index annuity and indexed universal life products and have reinsurance agreements with certain features that are required to be bifurcated as embedded derivatives.

We also have derivatives related to securitization entities where we were required to consolidate the related securitization entity as a result of our involvement in the structure. The counterparties for these derivatives typically only have recourse to the securitization entity. The interest rate swaps used for these entities are typically used to effectively convert the interest payments on the assets of the securitization entity to the same basis as the interest rate on the borrowings issued by the securitization entity. Credit default swaps are utilized in certain securitization entities to enhance the yield payable on the borrowings issued by the securitization entity and also include a settlement feature that allows the securitization entity to provide the par value of assets in the securitization entity for the amount of any losses incurred under the credit default swap.

Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk

Most of our derivative arrangements with counterparties require the posting of collateral upon meeting certain net exposure thresholds. For derivatives related to securitization entities, there are no arrangements that require either party to provide collateral and the recourse of the derivative counterparty is typically limited to the assets held by the securitization entity and there is no recourse to any entity other than the securitization entity.

Except for derivatives related to securitization entities, almost all of our master swap agreements contain credit downgrade provisions that allow either party to assign or terminate derivative transactions if the other party’s long-term unsecured debt rating or financial strength rating is below the limit defined in the applicable agreement. If the downgrade provisions had been triggered as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we could have been allowed to claim $245 million and $47 million, respectively, or required to disburse up to $2 million as of December 31, 2014. The chart above excludes embedded derivatives and derivatives related to securitization entities as those derivatives are not subject to master netting arrangements.

name reference entities follow the Credit Derivatives Physical Settlement Matrix published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association. Under these terms, credit default triggers are defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay or restructuring, if applicable. Our maximum exposure to credit loss equals the notional value for credit default swaps. In the event of default for credit default swaps, we are typically required to pay the protection holder the full notional value less a recovery rate determined at auction.

In addition to the credit derivatives discussed above, we also have credit derivative instruments related to securitization entities that we consolidate. These derivatives represent a customized index of reference entities with specified attachment points for certain derivatives. The credit default triggers are similar to those described above. In the event of default, the securitization entity will provide the counterparty with the par value of assets held in the securitization entity for the amount of incurred loss on the credit default swap. The maximum exposure to loss for the securitization entity is the notional value of the derivatives. Certain losses on these credit default swaps would be absorbed by the third-party noteholders of the securitization entity and the remaining losses on the credit default swaps would be absorbed by our portion of the notes issued by the securitization entity.

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Assets and liabilities that are reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value are not included in the following disclosure of fair value. Such items include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, separate accounts, securities held as collateral and derivative instruments. Other financial assets and liabilities—those not carried at fair value—are discussed below. Apart from certain of our borrowings and certain marketable securities, few of the instruments discussed below are actively traded and their fair values must often be determined using models. The fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon available market information and judgments about the financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets.

The basis on which we estimate fair value is as follows:

Commercial mortgage loans. Based on recent transactions and/or discounted future cash flows, using current market rates. Given the limited availability of data related to transactions for similar instruments, we typically classify these loans as Level 3.

 

41

(Unaudited)

 

Restricted commercial mortgage loans. Based on recent transactions and/or discounted future cash flows, using current market rates. Given the limited availability of data related to transactions for similar instruments, we typically classify these loans as Level 3.

Other invested assets. Primarily represents short-term investments and limited partnerships accounted for under the cost method. The fair value of short-term investments typically does not include significant unobservable inputs and approximate our amortized cost basis. As a result, short-term investments are classified as Level 2. Limited partnerships are valued based on comparable market transactions, discounted future cash flows, quoted market prices and/or estimates using the most recent data available for the underlying instrument. Cost method limited partnerships typically include significant unobservable inputs as a result of being relatively illiquid with limited market activity for similar instruments and are classified as Level 3.

Long-term borrowings. We utilize available market data when determining fair value of long-term borrowings issued in the United States and Canada, which includes data on recent trades for the same or similar financial instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are classified as Level 2 measurements. In cases where market data is not available such as our long-term borrowings in Australia, we use broker quotes for which we consider the valuation methodology utilized by the third party, but the valuation typically includes significant unobservable inputs. Accordingly, we classify these borrowings where fair value is based on our consideration of broker quotes as Level 3 measurements.

Non-recourse funding obligations. We use an internal model to determine fair value using the current floating rate coupon and expected life/final maturity of the instrument discounted using the floating rate index and current market spread assumption, which is estimated based on recent transactions for these instruments or similar instruments as well as other market information or broker provided data. Given these instruments are private and very little market activity exists, our current market spread assumption is considered to have significant unobservable inputs in calculating fair value and, therefore, results in the fair value of these instruments being classified as Level 3.

Borrowings related to securitization entities. Based on market quotes or comparable market transactions. Some of these borrowings are publicly traded debt securities and are classified as Level 2. Certain borrowings are not publicly traded and are classified as Level 3.

Investment contracts. Based on expected future cash flows, discounted at current market rates for annuity contracts or institutional products. Given the significant unobservable inputs associated with policyholder behavior and current market rate assumptions used to discount the expected future cash flows, we classify these instruments as Level 3 except for certain funding agreement-backed notes that are traded in the marketplace as a security and are classified as Level 2.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We have fixed maturity, equity and trading securities, derivatives, embedded derivatives, securities held as collateral, separate account assets and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. Below is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to determine fair value by class of instrument.

 

43


Table of Contents

Fixed maturity, equity and trading securities

The fair value of fixed maturity, equity and trading securities are estimated primarily based on information derived from third-party pricing services (“pricing services”), internal models and/or third-party broker provided prices (“broker quotes”), which use a market approach, income approach or a combination of the market and income approach depending on the type of instrument and availability of information. In general, a market approach is utilized if there is readily available and relevant market activity for an individual security. In certain cases where market information is not available for a specific security but is available for similar securities, a security is valued using that market information for similar securities, which is also a market approach. When market information is not available for a specific security or is available but such information is less relevant or reliable, an income approach or a combination of a market and income approach is utilized. For securities with optionality, such as call or prepayment features (including mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities), an income approach may be used. In addition, a combination of the results from market and income approaches may be used to estimate fair value. These valuation techniques may change from period to period, based on the relevance and availability of market data.

We utilize certain third-party data providers when determining fair value. We consider information obtained from pricing services as well as broker quotes in our determination of fair value. Additionally, we utilize internal models to determine the valuation of securities using an income approach where the inputs are based on third-party provided market inputs. While we consider the valuations provided by pricing services and broker quotes to be of high quality, management determines the fair value of our investment securities after considering all relevant and available information. We also use various methods to obtain an understanding of the valuation methodologies and procedures used by third-party data providers to ensure sufficient understanding to evaluate the valuation data received, including an understanding of the assumptions and inputs utilized to determine the appropriate fair value. For pricing services, we analyze the prices provided by our primary pricing services to other readily available pricing services and perform a detailed review of the assumptions and inputs from each pricing service to determine the appropriate fair value when pricing differences exceed certain thresholds. In September 2015, we began evaluating changes in fair value that are greater than 8% each month to further aid in our review of the accuracy of fair value measurements and our understanding of changes in fair value, with more detailed reviews performed by the asset managers responsible for the related asset class associated with the security being reviewed. Prior to September 2015, the percentage change in fair value we used in this evaluation was greater than 10% each month. A pricing committee provides additional oversight and guidance in the evaluation and review of the pricing methodologies used to value our investment portfolio.

In general, we first obtain valuations from pricing services. If a price is not supplied by a pricing service, we will typically seek a broker quote for public or private fixed maturity securities. In certain instances, we utilize price caps for broker quoted securities where the estimated market yield results in a valuation that may exceed the amount that we believe would be received in a market transaction. For certain private fixed maturity securities where we do not obtain valuations from pricing services, we utilize an internal model to determine fair value since transactions for identical securities are not readily observable and these securities are not typically valued by pricing services. For all securities, excluding certain private fixed maturity securities, if neither a pricing service nor broker quotes valuation is available, we determine fair value using internal models.

For pricing services, we obtain an understanding of the pricing methodologies and procedures for each type of instrument. Additionally, on a monthly basis we review a sample of securities, examining the pricing service’s assumptions to determine if we agree with the service’s derived price. In general, a pricing service does not provide a price for a security if sufficient information is not readily available to determine fair value or if such security is not in the specific sector or class covered by a particular pricing service. Given our understanding of

 

44


Table of Contents

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

the pricing methodologies and procedures of pricing services, the securities valued by pricing services are typically classified as Level 2 unless we determine the valuation process for a security or group of securities utilizes significant unobservable inputs, which would result in the valuation being classified as Level 3.

For private fixed maturity securities, we utilize an income approach where we obtain public bond spreads and utilize those in an internal model to determine fair value. Other inputs to the model include rating and weighted-average life, as well as sector which is used to assign the spread. We then add an additional premium, which represents an unobservable input, to the public bond spread to adjust for the liquidity and other features of our private placements. We utilize the estimated market yield to discount the expected cash flows of the security to determine fair value. We utilize price caps for securities where the estimated market yield results in a valuation that may exceed the amount that would be received in a market transaction and value all private fixed maturity securities at par that have less than 12 months to maturity. When a security does not have an external rating, we assign the security an internal rating to determine the appropriate public bond spread that should be utilized in the valuation. To evaluate the reasonableness of the internal model, we review a sample of private fixed maturity securities each month. In that review we compare the modeled prices to the prices of similar public securities in conjunction with analysis on current market indicators. While we generally consider the public bond spreads by sector and maturity to be observable inputs, we evaluate the similarities of our private placement with the public bonds, any price caps utilized, liquidity premiums applied, and whether external ratings are available for our private placements to determine whether the spreads utilized would be considered observable inputs. We classify private securities without an external rating and public bond spread as Level 3. In general, increases (decreases) in credit spreads will decrease (increase) the fair value for our fixed maturity securities.

For broker quotes, we consider the valuation methodology utilized by the third party and analyze a sample each month to assess reasonableness given then-current market conditions. Additionally, for broker quotes on certain structured securities, we validate prices received against other publicly available pricing sources. Broker quotes are typically based on an income approach given the lack of available market data. As the valuation typically includes significant unobservable inputs, we classify the securities where fair value is based on our consideration of broker quotes as Level 3 measurements.

For remaining securities priced using internal models, we determine fair value using an income approach. We maximize the use of observable inputs but typically utilize significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. Accordingly, the valuations are typically classified as Level 3.

A summary of the inputs used for our fixed maturity, equity and trading securities based on the level in which instruments are classified is included below. We have combined certain classes of instruments together as the nature of the inputs is similar.

Level 1 measurements

Equity securities. The primary inputs to the valuation of exchange-traded equity securities include quoted prices for the identical instrument.

Level 2 measurements

Fixed maturity securities

 

   

U.S. government, agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, state and political subdivisions, non-U.S. government, and all sectors of U.S. corporate and non-U.S. corporate. The primary inputs to

the valuation include quoted prices for identical assets, or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, duration, call provisions, issuer rating, benchmark yields and credit spreads. Private fixed maturity securities valued using an internal model use market observable inputs such as interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar securities based on the external ratings of the instrument and related industry sector of the issuer.

 

    Residential mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and other asset-backed. The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical assets, or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, weighted-average coupon and weighted-average maturity, issuer rating, structure of the security, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, collateral type, current and forecasted loss severity, average delinquency rates, vintage of the loans, geographic region, debt-service coverage ratios, payment priority with the tranche, benchmark yields and credit spreads.

Equity securities. The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical assets, or similar assets in markets that are not active.

Level 3 measurements

Fixed maturity securities

 

    U.S. government, agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, state and political subdivisions, non-U.S. government, and all sectors of U.S. corporate and non-U.S. corporate. The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical assets, or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, duration, call provisions, issuer rating, benchmark yields and credit spreads. Certain securities are valued using broker quotes where the underlying inputs are unobservable. Certain private fixed maturity securities valued using an internal model uses market observable inputs such as interest rate yield curve, as well as published credit spreads for similar securities where there are no external ratings of the instrument and include a significant unobservable input. Additionally, we may also apply certain price caps in the valuation of private fixed maturity securities as a result of our valuation being higher than what we would receive in a market transaction where the price cap represents an unobservable input.

 

    Residential mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and other asset-backed. The primary inputs to the valuation include broker quotes or use internal models where the primary inputs to the valuation are similar to the inputs used for Level 2 measurements but where the inputs cannot be corroborated with market data of similar securities.

Equity securities. The primary inputs to the valuation include broker quotes where the underlying inputs are unobservable and for internal models, structure of the security and issuer rating.

Restricted other invested assets related to securitization entities

We have trading securities related to securitization entities that are classified as restricted other invested assets and are carried at fair value. The trading securities represent asset-backed securities. The valuation for trading securities is determined using a market approach and/or an income approach depending on the availability of information. For certain highly rated asset-backed securities, there is observable market information for transactions of the same or similar instruments, which is provided to us by a third-party pricing service and is classified as Level 2. For certain securities that are not actively traded, we determine fair value after considering third-party broker provided prices or discounted expected cash flows using current yields for similar securities and classify these valuations as Level 3.

Securities lending collateral

The fair value of securities held as collateral is primarily based on Level 2 inputs from market information for the collateral that is held on our behalf by the custodian. We determine fair value after considering prices obtained by third-party pricing services.

Separate account assets

The fair value of separate account assets is based on the quoted prices of the underlying fund investments and, therefore, represents Level 1 pricing.

Derivatives

We consider counterparty collateral arrangements and rights of set-off when evaluating our net credit risk exposure to our derivative counterparties. Accordingly, we are permitted to include consideration of these arrangements when determining whether any incremental adjustment should be made for both the counterparty’s and our non-performance risk in measuring fair value for our derivative instruments. As a result of these counterparty arrangements, we determined that any adjustment for credit risk would not be material and we do not record any incremental adjustment for our non-performance risk or the non-performance risk of the derivative counterparty for our derivative assets or liabilities. We determine fair value for our derivatives using an income approach with internal models based on relevant market inputs for each derivative instrument. We also compare the fair value determined using our internal model to the valuations provided by our derivative counterparties with any significant differences or changes in valuation being evaluated further by our derivatives professionals that are familiar with the instrument and market inputs used in the valuation.

Interest rate swaps. The valuation of interest rate swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary input into the valuation represents the forward interest rate swap curve, which is generally considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2. For certain interest rate swaps, the inputs into the valuation also include the total returns of certain bonds that would primarily be considered an observable input and result in the derivative being classified as Level 2. For certain other swaps, there are features that provide an option to the counterparty to terminate the swap at specified dates. The interest rate volatility input used to value these options would be considered a significant unobservable input and results in the fair value measurement of the derivative being classified as Level 3. These options to terminate the swap by the counterparty are based on forward interest rate swap curves and volatility. As interest rate volatility increases, our valuation of the derivative changes unfavorably.

Interest rate swaps related to securitization entities. The valuation of interest rate swaps related to securitization entities is determined using an income approach. The primary input into the valuation represents the forward interest rate swap curve, which is generally considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Inflation indexed swaps. The valuation of inflation indexed swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve, the current consumer price index and the forward consumer price index curve, which are generally considered observable inputs, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Foreign currency swaps. The valuation of foreign currency swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve and foreign currency exchange rates, both of which are considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Credit default swaps. We have both single name credit default swaps and index tranche credit default swaps. For single name credit default swaps, we utilize an income approach to determine fair value based on using current market information for the credit spreads of the reference entity, which is considered observable inputs based on the reference entities of our derivatives and results in these derivatives being classified as Level 2. For index tranche credit default swaps, we utilize an income approach that utilizes current market information related to credit spreads and expected defaults and losses associated with the reference entities that comprise the respective index associated with each derivative. There are significant unobservable inputs associated with the timing and amount of losses from the reference entities as well as the timing or amount of losses, if any, that will be absorbed by our tranche. Accordingly, the index tranche credit default swaps are classified as Level 3. As credit spreads widen for the underlying issuers comprising the index, the change in our valuation of these credit default swaps will be unfavorable.

Credit default swaps related to securitization entities. Credit default swaps related to securitization entities represent customized index tranche credit default swaps and are valued using a similar methodology as described above for index tranche credit default swaps. We determine fair value of these credit default swaps after considering both the valuation methodology described above as well as the valuation provided by the derivative counterparty. In addition to the valuation methodology and inputs described for index tranche credit default swaps, these customized credit default swaps contain a feature that permits the securitization entity to provide the par value of underlying assets in the securitization entity to settle any losses under the credit default swap. The valuation of this settlement feature is dependent upon the valuation of the underlying assets and the timing and amount of any expected loss on the credit default swap, which is considered a significant unobservable input. Accordingly, these customized index tranche credit default swaps related to securitization entities are classified as Level 3. As credit spreads widen for the underlying issuers comprising the customized index, the change in our valuation of these credit default swaps will be unfavorable.

Equity index options. We have equity index options associated with various equity indices. The valuation of equity index options is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent forward interest rate volatility and time value component associated with the optionality in the derivative, which are considered significant unobservable inputs in most instances. The equity index volatility surface is determined based on market information that is not readily observable and is developed based upon inputs received from several third-party sources. Accordingly, these options are classified as Level 3. As equity index volatility increases, our valuation of these options changes favorably.

Financial futures. The fair value of financial futures is based on the closing exchange prices. Accordingly, these financial futures are classified as Level 1. The period end valuation is zero as a result of settling the margins on these contracts on a daily basis.

Equity return swaps. The valuation of equity return swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve and underlying equity index values, which are generally considered observable inputs, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Forward bond purchase commitments. The valuation of forward bond purchase commitments is determined using an income approach. The primary input into the valuation represents the current bond prices and interest rates, which are generally considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Other foreign currency contracts. We have certain foreign currency options classified as other foreign currency contracts. The valuation of foreign currency options is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve, foreign currency exchange rates, forward

interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate volatility, foreign equity index volatility and time value component associated with the optionality in the derivative. As a result of the significant unobservable inputs associated with the forward interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate volatility and foreign equity index volatility inputs, the derivative is classified as Level 3. As foreign currency exchange rate volatility and foreign equity index volatility increases, the change in our valuation of these options will be favorable for purchase options and unfavorable for options sold. We also have foreign currency forward contracts where the valuation is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward foreign currency exchange rates, which are generally considered observable inputs and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

GMWB embedded derivatives

We are required to bifurcate an embedded derivative for certain features associated with annuity products and related reinsurance agreements where we provide a GMWB to the policyholder and are required to record the GMWB embedded derivative at fair value. The valuation of our GMWB embedded derivative is based on an income approach that incorporates inputs such as forward interest rates, equity index volatility, equity index and fund correlation, and policyholder assumptions such as utilization, lapse and mortality. In addition to these inputs, we also consider risk and expense margins when determining the projected cash flows that would be determined by another market participant. While the risk and expense margins are considered in determining fair value, these inputs do not have a significant impact on the valuation. We determine fair value using an internal model based on the various inputs noted above. The resulting fair value measurement from the model is reviewed by the product actuarial, risk and finance professionals each reporting period with changes in fair value also being compared to changes in derivatives and other instruments used to mitigate changes in fair value from certain market risks, such as equity index volatility and interest rates.

For GMWB liabilities, non-performance risk is integrated into the discount rate. Our discount rate used to determine fair value of our GMWB liabilities includes market credit spreads above U.S. Treasury rates to reflect an adjustment for the non-performance risk of the GMWB liabilities. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the impact of non-performance risk resulted in a lower fair value of our GMWB liabilities of $82 million and $74 million, respectively.

To determine the appropriate discount rate to reflect the non-performance risk of the GMWB liabilities, we evaluate the non-performance risk in our liabilities based on a hypothetical exit market transaction as there is no exit market for these types of liabilities. A hypothetical exit market can be viewed as a hypothetical transfer of the liability to another similarly rated insurance company which would closely resemble a reinsurance transaction. Another hypothetical exit market transaction can be viewed as a hypothetical transaction from the perspective of the GMWB policyholder. In determining the appropriate discount rate to incorporate non-performance risk of the GMWB liabilities, we also considered the impacts of state guarantees embedded in the related insurance product as a form of inseparable third-party guarantee. We believe that a hypothetical exit market participant would use a similar discount rate as described above to value the liabilities.

For equity index volatility, we determine the projected equity market volatility using both historical volatility and projected equity market volatility with more significance being placed on projected near-term volatility and recent historical data. Given the different attributes and market characteristics of GMWB liabilities compared to equity index options in the derivative market, the equity index volatility assumption for GMWB liabilities may be different from the volatility assumption for equity index options, especially for the longer dated points on the curve.

Equity index and fund correlations are determined based on historical price observations for the fund and equity index.

For policyholder assumptions, we use our expected lapse, mortality and utilization assumptions and update these assumptions for our actual experience, as necessary. For our lapse assumption, we adjust our base lapse assumption by policy based on a combination of the policyholder’s current account value and GMWB benefit.

We classify the GMWB valuation as Level 3 based on having significant unobservable inputs, with equity index volatility and non-performance risk being considered the more significant unobservable inputs. As equity index volatility increases, the fair value of the GMWB liabilities will increase. Any increase in non-performance risk would increase the discount rate and would decrease the fair value of the GMWB liability. Additionally, we consider lapse and utilization assumptions to be significant unobservable inputs. An increase in our lapse assumption would decrease the fair value of the GMWB liability, whereas an increase in our utilization rate would increase the fair value.

Fixed index annuity embedded derivatives

We offer fixed indexed annuity products where interest is credited to the policyholder’s account balance based on equity index changes. This feature is required to be bifurcated as an embedded derivative and recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach where the present value of the excess cash flows above the guaranteed cash flows is used to determine the value attributed to the equity index feature. The inputs used in determining the fair value include policyholder behavior (lapses and withdrawals), near-term equity index volatility, expected future interest credited, forward interest rates and an adjustment to the discount rate to incorporate non-performance risk and risk margins. As a result of our assumptions for policyholder behavior and expected future interest credited being considered significant unobservable inputs, we classify these instruments as Level 3. As lapses and withdrawals increase, the value of our embedded derivative liability will decrease. As expected future interest credited decreases, the value of our embedded derivative liability will decrease.

Indexed universal life embedded derivatives

We offer indexed universal life products where interest is credited to the policyholder’s account balance based on equity index changes. This feature is required to be bifurcated as an embedded derivative and recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach where the present value of the excess cash flows above the guaranteed cash flows is used to determine the value attributed to the equity index feature. The inputs used in determining the fair value include policyholder behavior (lapses and withdrawals), near-term equity index volatility, expected future interest credited, forward interest rates and an adjustment to the discount rate to incorporate non-performance risk and risk margins. As a result of our assumptions for policyholder behavior and expected future interest credited being considered significant unobservable inputs, we classify these instruments as Level 3. As lapses and withdrawals increase, the value of our embedded derivative liability will decrease. As expected future interest credited decreases, the value of our embedded derivative liability will decrease.

Borrowings related to securitization entities

We record certain borrowings related to securitization entities at fair value. The fair value of these borrowings is determined using either a market approach or income approach, depending on the instrument and availability of market information. Given the unique characteristics of the securitization entities that issued these borrowings as well as the lack of comparable instruments, we determine fair value considering the valuation of the underlying assets held by the securitization entities and any derivatives, as well as any unique characteristics of the borrowings that may impact the valuation. After considering all relevant inputs, we determine fair value of the borrowings using the net valuation of the underlying assets and derivatives that are backing the borrowings. Accordingly, these instruments are classified as Level 3. Increases in the valuation of the underlying assets or decreases in the derivative liabilities will result in an increase in the fair value of these borrowings.

We review the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers between levels at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. Given the types of assets classified as Level 1, which primarily represents mutual fund investments, we typically do not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurement categories and did not have any such transfers during any period presented.

Our assessment of whether or not there were significant unobservable inputs related to fixed maturity securities was based on our observations obtained through the course of managing our investment portfolio, including interaction with other market participants, observations related to the availability and consistency of pricing and/or rating, and understanding of general market activity such as new issuance and the level of secondary market trading for a class of securities. Additionally, we considered data obtained from third-party pricing sources to determine whether our estimated values incorporate significant unobservable inputs that would result in the valuation being classified as Level 3.

Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements represent the activity that occurred during the period that results in a change of the asset or liability but does not represent changes in fair value for the instruments held at the beginning of the period. Such activity primarily consists of purchases, sales and settlements of fixed maturity, equity and trading securities and purchases, issuances and settlements of derivative instruments.

Issuances presented for GMWB embedded derivative liabilities are characterized as the change in fair value associated with the product fees recognized that are attributed to the embedded derivative to equal the expected future benefit costs upon issuance. Issuances for fixed index annuity and indexed universal life embedded derivative liabilities represent the amount of the premium received that is attributed to the value of the embedded derivative. Settlements of embedded derivatives are characterized as the change in fair value upon exercising the embedded derivative instrument, effectively representing a settlement of the embedded derivative instrument. We have shown these changes in fair value separately based on the classification of this activity as effectively issuing and settling the embedded derivative instrument with all remaining changes in the fair value of these embedded derivative instruments being shown separately in the category labeled “included in net (income) loss” in the tables presented above.

On September 30, 2015, Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company (“GLAIC”), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Master Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with Protective Life Insurance Company (“Protective Life”). Pursuant to the Master Agreement, GLAIC and Protective Life agreed to enter into a reinsurance agreement (the “Reinsurance Agreement”), under the terms of which Protective Life will coinsure certain term life insurance business of GLAIC, net of third-party reinsurance. The Reinsurance Agreement will be executed at closing which is expected during the first quarter of 2016, subject to approvals from certain regulatory authorities and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. In connection with entering into the Master Agreement, we recorded a DAC impairment of $455 million as a result of loss recognition testing of certain term life insurance policies as part of this life block transaction.

As of September 30, 2015, we believe all of our other businesses had sufficient future income and therefore the related DAC was recoverable.

The liability for policy and contract claims represents our current best estimate; however, there may be future adjustments to this estimate and related assumptions. Such adjustments, reflecting any variety of new and adverse trends, could possibly be significant, and result in increases in reserves by an amount that could be material to our results of operations and financial condition and liquidity.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the incurred amount of $653 million related to insured events of prior years increased largely as a result of the completion of a comprehensive review of our long-term care insurance claim reserves conducted during the third quarter of 2014 which resulted in recording higher reserves of $604 million and an increase in reinsurance recoverables of $73 million. This review was commenced as a result of adverse claims experience during the second quarter of 2014 and in connection with our regular review of our claim reserves assumptions during the third quarter of each year. As a result of this review, we made changes to our assumptions and methodologies relating to our long-term care insurance claim reserves primarily impacting claim termination rates, most significantly in later-duration claims, and benefit utilization rates, reflecting that claims are not terminating as quickly and claimants are utilizing more of their available benefits in aggregate than had previously been assumed in our reserve calculations. In conducting the review, we increased the population of claims reviewed, utilizing more of our recent data. During the third quarter of 2014, we also recorded a $61 million unfavorable correction to claim reserves related to a calculation of benefit utilization for policies with a benefit inflation option. This error arose prior to 2011 and was not material to earnings in any interim or annual period. The remaining increase was attributable to aging and growth of the in-force block.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the incurred amount of $18 million related to insured events of prior years decreased primarily from improvements in net cures and the favorable aging on existing delinquencies.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the incurred amount of $23 million related to insured events of prior years increased primarily related to an aggregate increase in our claim reserves of $53 million in connection with the settlement agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and discussions with another servicer in an effort to resolve pending disputes over loss mitigation activities in the third quarter of 2014. This increase was partially offset by favorable aging on existing delinquencies.

(b) Repurchase agreements and securities lending activity

Repurchase agreements

We have a repurchase program in which we sell an investment security at a specified price and agree to repurchase that security at another specified price at a later date. Repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently reacquired, including accrued interest, as specified in the respective agreement. The market value of securities to be repurchased is monitored and collateral levels are adjusted where appropriate to protect the parties against credit exposure. Cash received is invested in fixed maturity securities. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of securities pledged under the repurchase program was $340 million and $592 million, respectively, and the repurchase obligation of $330 million and $553 million, respectively, was included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Securities lending activity

In the United States and Canada, we engage in certain securities lending transactions for the purpose of enhancing the yield on our investment securities portfolio. We maintain effective control over all loaned securities and, therefore, continue to report such securities as fixed maturity securities on the consolidated balance sheets. We are currently indemnified against counterparty credit risk by the intermediary.

Under the securities lending program in the United States, the borrower is required to provide collateral, which can consist of cash or government securities, on a daily basis in amounts equal to or exceeding 102% of the value of the loaned securities. Currently, we only accept cash collateral from borrowers under the program. Cash collateral received by us on securities lending transactions is reflected in other invested assets with an offsetting liability recognized in other liabilities for the obligation to return the collateral. Any cash collateral received is reinvested by our custodian based upon the investment guidelines provided within our agreement. In the United States, the reinvested cash collateral is primarily invested in a money market fund approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), U.S. and foreign government securities, U.S. government agency securities, asset-backed securities and corporate debt securities. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of securities loaned under our securities lending program in the United States was $353 million and $288 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of collateral held under our securities lending program in the United States was $366 million and $289 million, respectively, and the offsetting obligation to return collateral of $366 million and $299 million, respectively, was included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We did not have any non-cash collateral provided by the borrowers in our securities lending program in the United States as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Under our securities lending program in Canada, the borrower is required to provide collateral consisting of government securities on a daily basis in amounts equal to or exceeding 105% of the fair value of the applicable securities loaned. Securities received from counterparties as collateral are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet given that the risk and rewards of ownership is not transferred from the counterparties to us in the course of such transactions. Additionally, there was no cash collateral because it is not permitted as an acceptable form of collateral under the program. In Canada, the lending institution must be included on the approved Securities Lending Borrowers List with the Canadian regulator and the intermediary must be rated at least “AA-” by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of securities loaned under our securities lending program in Canada was $335 million and $371 million, respectively.

Risks associated with repurchase agreements and securities lending programs

Our repurchase agreement and securities lending programs expose us to liquidity risk if we did not have enough cash or collateral readily available to return to the counterparty when required to do so under the agreements. We manage this risk by regularly monitoring our available sources of cash and collateral to ensure we can meet short-term liquidity demands under normal and stressed scenarios.

We are also exposed to credit risk in the event of default of our counterparties or changes in collateral values. This risk is significantly reduced because our programs require over collateralization and collateral exposures are trued up on a daily basis. We manage this risk by using multiple counterparties and ensuring that changes in required collateral are monitored and adjusted daily. We also monitor the creditworthiness, including credit ratings, of our counterparties on a regular basis.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to non-deductible goodwill impairments in the prior year and decreased benefits from lower taxed foreign income in the current year, partially offset by increased benefits from tax favored investments and true ups related to lower taxed foreign income.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to non-deductible goodwill impairments in the prior year and decreased benefits from lower taxed foreign income, partially offset by prior year true ups related to lower taxed foreign income and increased benefits from tax favored investments.

(11) Segment Information

We operate through three divisions: Global Mortgage Insurance, U.S. Life Insurance and Corporate and Other. Under these divisions, there are four operating business segments. The Global Mortgage Insurance Division includes the International Mortgage Insurance and U.S. Mortgage Insurance segments. The U.S. Life Insurance Division includes the U.S. Life Insurance segment. The Corporate and Other Division includes the Runoff segment and Corporate and Other activities. Our operating business segments are as follows: (1) International Mortgage Insurance, which includes mortgage insurance-related products and services; (2) U.S. Mortgage Insurance, which includes mortgage insurance-related products and services; (3) U.S. Life Insurance, which includes our long-term care insurance, life insurance and fixed annuities businesses; and (4) Runoff, which includes the results of non-strategic products which are no longer actively sold. Our non-strategic products primarily include our variable annuity, variable life insurance, institutional, corporate-owned life insurance and other accident and health insurance products. Institutional products consist of: funding agreements, FABNs and GICs.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include debt financing expenses that are incurred at the Genworth Holdings level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, eliminations of inter-segment transactions and the results of other businesses that are managed outside of our operating segments, including discontinued operations.

In the first quarter of 2015, we revised how we allocate our consolidated provision for income taxes to our operating segments to simplify our process and reflect how our chief operating decision maker is evaluating segment performance. Our revised methodology applies a specific tax rate to the pre-tax income (loss) of each segment, which is then adjusted in each segment to reflect the tax attributes of items unique to that segment such as foreign income. The difference between the consolidated provision for income taxes and the sum of the provision for income taxes in each segment is reflected in Corporate and Other activities. Previously, we calculated a unique income tax provision for each segment based on quarterly changes to tax attributes and implications of transactions specific to each product within the segment.

The annually-determined tax rates and adjustments to each segment’s provision for income taxes are estimates which are subject to review and could change from year to year. Prior year amounts have not been re-presented to reflect this revised presentation and are, therefore, not comparable to the current year provision for income taxes by segment. However, we do not believe that the previous methodology would have resulted in a materially different segment-level provision for income taxes.

We use the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment income (loss) and assets as our consolidated net income and assets. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of “net operating income (loss).” We define net operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Gains (losses) on insurance block transactions are defined as gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of non-recourse funding obligations, early termination fees for other

financing restructuring and/or resulting gains (losses) on reinsurance restructuring for certain blocks of business. We exclude net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of our net investment gains (losses) is the result of impairments, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to our discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions and restructuring costs are also excluded from net operating income (loss) because, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. Infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income (loss) if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends.

While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that net operating income (loss), and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income (loss), are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Management also uses net operating income (loss) as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. However, the items excluded from net operating income (loss) have occurred in the past and could, and in some cases will, recur in the future. Net operating income (loss) is not a substitute for net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of net operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

In the first quarter of 2015, we modified our definition to explicitly state that restructuring costs, which were previously included in the infrequent and unusual category, are excluded from net operating income (loss). In the second quarter of 2015, we recorded a $2 million after-tax expense related to restructuring costs as part of an expense reduction plan as we evaluate and appropriately size our organizational needs and expenses.

In the third quarter of 2014, we recorded goodwill impairments of $167 million, net of taxes, in our long-term care insurance business and $350 million, net of taxes, in our life insurance business.

In the third quarter of 2015, we paid an early redemption payment of approximately $1 million, net of taxes and portion attributable to noncontrolling interests, related to the early redemption of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Limited’s notes that were scheduled to mature in 2021. In the third quarter of 2015, we also repurchased approximately $50 million principal amount of Genworth Holdings, Inc.’s notes with various maturity dates for a loss of $1 million, net of taxes. In the second quarter of 2014, we paid an early redemption payment of approximately $2 million, net of taxes and portion attributable to noncontrolling interests, related to the early redemption of Genworth Canada’s notes that were scheduled to mature in 2015. These transactions were excluded from net operating income (loss) for the periods presented as they related to the loss on the early extinguishment of debt.

In the third quarter of 2015, we recorded a DAC impairment of $296 million, net of taxes, on certain term life insurance policies in connection with entering into an agreement to complete a life block transaction.

There were no infrequent or unusual items excluded from net operating income (loss) during the periods presented other than the following item. We recognized a tax charge of $7 million in the third quarter of 2015 from potential business portfolio changes related to our mortgage insurance business in Europe.

Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) attributable to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net operating income (loss) assume a 35% tax rate and are net of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net investment gains (losses) are also adjusted for DAC and other intangible amortization and certain benefit reserves.

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Litigation and Regulatory Matters

We face the risk of litigation and regulatory investigations and actions in the ordinary course of operating our businesses, including the risk of class action lawsuits. Our pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings specific to us and others generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which we operate. In our insurance operations, we are, have been, or may become subject to class actions and individual suits alleging, among other things, issues relating to sales or underwriting practices, increases to in-force long-term care insurance premiums, payment of contingent or other sales commissions, claims payments and procedures, product design, product disclosure, administration, additional premium charges for premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, charging excessive or impermissible fees on products, recommending unsuitable products to customers, our pricing structures and business practices in our mortgage insurance businesses, such as captive reinsurance arrangements with lenders and contract underwriting services, violations of the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act of 1974 (“RESPA”) or related state anti-inducement laws, and mortgage insurance policy rescissions and curtailments, and breaching fiduciary or other duties to customers, including but not limited to breach of customer information. Plaintiffs in class action and other lawsuits against us may seek very large or indeterminate amounts which may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In our investment-related operations, we are subject to litigation involving commercial disputes with counterparties. We are also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities such as our contractual and employment relationships. In addition, we are also subject to various regulatory inquiries, such as information requests, subpoenas, books and record examinations and market conduct and financial examinations from state, federal and international regulators and other authorities. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if we ultimately prevail in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we could suffer significant reputational harm, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In August 2014, Genworth Financial, Inc., its current chief executive officer and its then current chief financial officer were named in a putative class action lawsuit captioned Manuel Esguerra v. Genworth Financial, Inc., et al, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Plaintiff alleged securities law violations involving certain disclosures in 2013 and 2014 concerning Genworth’s long-term care

insurance reserves. The lawsuit sought unspecified compensatory damages, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. In October 2014, a putative class action lawsuit captioned City of Pontiac General Employees’ Retirement System v. Genworth Financial, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. This lawsuit names the same defendants, alleges the same securities law violations, seeks the same damages and covers the same class as the Esguerra lawsuit. Following the filing of the City of Pontiac lawsuit, the Esguerra lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice allowing the City of Pontiac lawsuit to proceed. In the City of Pontiac lawsuit, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia appointed Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Alberta and Fresno County Employees’ Retirement Association as lead plaintiffs and designated the caption of the action as In re Genworth Financial, Inc. Securities Litigation. On December 22, 2014, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On February 5, 2015, we filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ amended complaint. On March 9, 2015, plaintiffs filed a memorandum of law in opposition to our motion to dismiss. On March 24, 2015, we filed our reply memorandum of law in further support of our motion to dismiss. The Court heard argument on our motion to dismiss the complaint on April 28, 2015. On May 1, 2015, the court denied the motion to dismiss. The Court has scheduled a trial for April 2016 and we expect to engage in mediation in the fourth quarter of 2015. If the mediation does not result in a settlement, we intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit. As of September 30, 2015, we accrued approximately $16 million, representing the balance of our self-insured retention on our executive and organization liability insurance program above legal defense costs incurred. At this stage of the litigation, we are unable to determine whether any additional loss or range of losses relating to this litigation is reasonably possible.

In April 2014, Genworth Financial, Inc., its former chief executive officer and its then current chief financial officer were named in a putative class action lawsuit captioned City of Hialeah Employees’ Retirement System v. Genworth Financial, Inc., et al., in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Plaintiff alleges securities law violations involving certain disclosures in 2012 concerning Genworth’s Australian mortgage insurance business, including our plans for an initial public offering of the business. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, costs and attorneys’ fees and such equitable/injunctive relief as the court may deem proper. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York appointed City of Hialeah Employees’ Retirement System and New Bedford Contributory Retirement System as lead plaintiffs and designated the caption of the action as In re Genworth Financial, Inc. Securities Litigation. On October 3, 2014, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On December 2, 2014, we filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ amended complaint, which motion was fully briefed as of March 4, 2015. On March 25, 2015, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York denied the motion but entered an order dismissing the amended complaint with leave to replead. On April 17, 2015, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. We filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint and on June 16, 2015, the court denied the motion to dismiss. We intend to vigorously defend this action.

In August 2015, Genworth Financial, Inc., its former chief executive officer, its current chief executive officer, its then current chief financial officer and the current members of its board of directors were named in two separate shareholder derivative suits, each of which was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, alleging breaches of fiduciary duties concerning Genworth’s long-term care insurance reserves and concerning Genworth’s Australian mortgage insurance business, including our plans for an initial public offering of the business. The cases are captioned, Pinkoski v. McInerney, et al. and Salberg v. McInerney, et al. The cases seek unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees and such equitable relief as the court may deem proper. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss which has not yet been ruled upon. We intend to vigorously defend each of these actions.

In August 2015, Genworth Financial, Inc., its current chief executive officer, its then current chief financial officer and the current members of its board of directors were named in a shareholder derivative suit filed in the

United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, alleging breaches of fiduciary duties relating to Genworth’s long-term care insurance reserves. The case is captioned Cohen v. McInerney, et al. The case seeks unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees and such equitable relief as the court may deem proper. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss which has not yet been ruled upon. We intend to vigorously defend this action.

In September 2015, Genworth Financial, Inc., its former chief executive officer, its current chief executive officer, its then current chief financial officer and the current members of its board of directors were named in a shareholder derivative suit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, alleging breaches of fiduciary duties relating to Genworth’s long-term care insurance reserves. The case is captioned Int’l Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 478 Pension Fund v. McInerney, et al. The case seeks unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees and such equitable relief as the court may deem proper. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss which has not yet been ruled upon. We intend to vigorously defend this action. On September 28, 2015, the court ordered that all four shareholder derivative suits be consolidated for all purposes under the case name Pinkoski v. McInerney, et al. and directed plaintiffs in the consolidated derivative suit to file an amended consolidated complaint within 21 days of the court’s order appointing lead counsel. The court consolidated the derivative suits with In Re Genworth Financial Securities Litigation for the purposes of discovery. On October 2, 2015, all of the plaintiffs in the consolidated shareholder derivative action filed a motion for voluntary dismissal without prejudice, stating they intend to refile in state court.

Beginning in December 2011 and continuing through January 2013, one of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries was named along with several other mortgage insurance participants and mortgage lenders as a defendant in twelve putative class action lawsuits alleging that certain “captive reinsurance arrangements” were in violation of RESPA. Those cases are captioned as follows: Samp, et al. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., et al., United States District Court for the Central District of California; White, et al., v. The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., et al., United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; Menichino, et al. v. Citibank NA, et al., United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania; McCarn, et al. v. HSBC USA, Inc., et al., United States District Court for the Eastern District of California; Manners, et al., v. Fifth Third Bank, et al., United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania; Riddle, et al. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; Rulison et al. v. ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc. et al., United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; Barlee, et al. v. First Horizon National Corporation, et al., United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; Cunningham, et al. v. M&T Bank Corp., et al., United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania; Orange, et al. v. Wachovia Bank, N.A., et al., United States District Court for the Central District of California; Hill et al. v. Flagstar Bank, FSB, et al., United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; and Moriba Ba, et al. v. HSBC USA, Inc., et al., United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Plaintiffs allege that “captive reinsurance arrangements” with providers of private mortgage insurance whereby a mortgage lender through captive reinsurance arrangements received a portion of the borrowers’ private mortgage insurance premiums were in violation of RESPA and unjustly enriched the defendants for which plaintiffs seek declaratory relief and unspecified monetary damages, including restitution. The McCarn case was dismissed by the court with prejudice as to our subsidiary and certain other defendants on November 9, 2012. On July 3, 2012, the Rulison case was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs. The Barlee case was dismissed by the court with prejudice as to our subsidiary and certain other defendants on February 27, 2013. The Manners case was dismissed by voluntary stipulation in March 2013. In early May 2013, the Samp and Orange cases were dismissed with prejudice as to our subsidiary. Plaintiffs appealed both of those dismissals, but have since withdrawn those appeals. The White case was dismissed by the court without prejudice on June 20, 2013, and on July 5, 2013 plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint again naming our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiary as a defendant. The Menichino case was dismissed by the court without prejudice as to our subsidiary and certain other defendants on July 19, 2013. Plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint again naming our

U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiary as a defendant and we moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. In the Riddle, Hill, Ba and Cunningham cases, the defendants’ motions to dismiss were denied, but the court in the Riddle, Hill and Cunningham cases limited discovery to issues surrounding whether the case should be dismissed on statute of limitations grounds. In the Hill case, on December 17, 2013, we moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. The court granted our motion, and in July 2014, the Hill plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. In the Riddle case, in late November 2013, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted our motion for summary judgment dismissing the case. Plaintiffs appealed the dismissal. In October 2014, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of the Riddle action. On January 30, 2015, our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiary and all named plaintiffs in the cases still pending as of such date entered into a settlement agreement that has resulted in the dismissal of all actions as to our subsidiary. This settlement had no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2009, one of our former non-insurance subsidiaries, one of the former subsidiary’s officers and Genworth Financial, Inc. (now known as Genworth Holdings, Inc.) were named in a putative class action lawsuit captioned Michael J. Goodman and Linda Brown v. Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc. et al., in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Plaintiffs allege securities law and other violations involving the selection of mutual funds by our former subsidiary on behalf of certain of its Private Client Group clients. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. In response to our motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, the court granted the motion to dismiss the state law fiduciary duty claim and denied the motion to dismiss the remaining federal claims. The District Court denied plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class on April 15, 2014. On April 29, 2014, plaintiffs filed a motion with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals for permission to appeal the District Court’s denial of their motion to certify a class, which we opposed. On July 9, 2014, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied plaintiffs’ motion. Pursuant to a joint stipulation of the parties, on March 20, 2015, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York entered a final order dismissing with prejudice all claims against the defendants.

In April 2012, two of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries were named as respondents in two arbitrations, one brought by Bank of America, N.A. and one brought by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. and Bank of America, N.A. as claimants. Claimants alleged breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and sought a declaratory judgment relating to our denial, curtailment and rescission of mortgage insurance coverage. In June 2012, our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries responded to the arbitration demands and asserted numerous counterclaims against the claimants. On December 31, 2013, the parties reached an agreement to resolve that portion of both arbitrations involving rescission practices, which settlement took effect in the second quarter of 2014. As a result, the arbitration demands and counterclaims related to that portion of both arbitrations involving rescission practices were dismissed in the third quarter of 2014. In October 2014, the parties executed a definitive settlement agreement to settle all remaining claims in the arbitrations. Implementation of the settlement to resolve the remaining claims was subject to the consent of the government-sponsored enterprises (the “GSEs”). The settlement provides that our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries will remit a portion of the previously curtailed claim amounts to Bank of America, N.A. and will agree to certain limits on future curtailment activity for loans that are part of the settlement. The consents of the GSEs were obtained in January 2015, and therefore, the parties have moved to dismiss all remaining matters in the arbitration. We expect such dismissals to occur in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In addition to the negotiated settlement with Bank of America, N.A. discussed above, we have resolved a matter involving a second servicer’s dispute with us on loss mitigation. This second dispute did not involve any formal legal proceeding, as is the case with other discussions we have had from time to time with other lenders and servicers over disputed loss mitigation activities. During the third quarter of 2014, we recorded an aggregate

increase in our claim reserves for our U.S. mortgage insurance business of $53 million principally to provide for the anticipated financial impact in connection with the settlement of the Bank of America, N.A. arbitration, as well as the second dispute, both of which were settled for amounts which in the aggregate were included within the claim reserve increase mentioned above.

In early 2006 as part of an industry-wide review, one of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries received an administrative subpoena from the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which has jurisdiction over insurance matters, with respect to our reinsurance arrangements, including captive reinsurance transactions with lender-affiliated reinsurers. Since 2006, the Minnesota Department of Commerce has periodically requested additional information. In June 2015, we entered into a Consent Order with the Minnesota Department of Commerce pursuant to the terms and conditions of which we agreed to pay a civil penalty of $90,000 and agreed not to enter into any new captive reinsurance transactions from a lender-affiliated reinsurer or to obtain reinsurance under an existing captive reinsurance transaction from a lender-affiliated reinsurer on any new mortgage transactions after the date of the Consent Order for a period of 10 years. Pursuant to the Consent Order, we were discharged from all potential liability that has or might have been asserted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce based on our captive mortgage reinsurance policies or practices, to the extent such practices occurred prior to the date of the Consent Order. Inquiries from other regulatory bodies with respect to the same subject matter have been resolved or dormant for a number of years.

At this time, other than as noted above, we cannot determine or predict the ultimate outcome of any of the pending legal and regulatory matters specifically identified above or the likelihood of potential future legal and regulatory matters against us. Except as disclosed above, we also are not able to provide an estimate or range of reasonably possible losses related to these matters. Therefore, we cannot ensure that the current investigations and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, it is possible that related investigations and proceedings may be commenced in the future, and we could become subject to additional unrelated investigations and lawsuits. Increased regulatory scrutiny and any resulting investigations or proceedings could result in new legal precedents and industry-wide regulations or practices that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

(b) Commitments

As of September 30, 2015, we were committed to fund $87 million in limited partnership investments, $106 million in U.S. commercial mortgage loan investments and $61 million in private placement investments.

(14) Noncontrolling Interests

Canada

In April 2015, Genworth Canada announced acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange of its Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”). Pursuant to the NCIB, Genworth Canada may purchase from time to time over the next 12 months, up to an aggregate of 4.7 million of its issued and outstanding common shares. In May 2015, Genworth Canada repurchased 1.4 million of its shares for CAD$50 million through the NCIB. We participated in the NCIB in order to maintain our overall ownership percentage at 57.3% and received $23 million in cash.

Australia

On May 15, 2014, Genworth Mortgage Insurance Australia Limited (“Genworth Australia”), a holding company for Genworth’s Australian mortgage insurance business, priced its initial public offering of 220,000,000 of its ordinary shares at an initial public offering price of AUD$2.65 per ordinary share. The offering closed on May 21, 2014. Following completion of the offering, Genworth Financial beneficially owned 66.2% of the ordinary shares of Genworth Australia through subsidiaries. The net proceeds of the offering were used by Genworth Australia to repay a portion of certain intercompany funding arrangements with our

subsidiaries and those funds were then distributed to Genworth Holdings. The gross proceeds of the offering (before payment of fees and expenses) were approximately $541 million. Fees and expenses in connection with the offering were approximately $27 million, including approximately $3 million paid in 2013.

On May 11, 2015, we sold 92,300,000 of our shares in Genworth Australia at AUD$3.08 per ordinary share. The offering closed on May 15, 2015. Following completion of the offering, Genworth Financial beneficially owns 52.0% of the ordinary shares of Genworth Australia through subsidiaries. The majority of the net proceeds of the offering were distributed to Genworth Holdings. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $226 million.

Consistent with applicable accounting guidance, changes in noncontrolling interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. When there are changes in noncontrolling interests of a subsidiary that do not result in a change of control, any difference between carrying value and fair value related to the change in ownership is recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. A summary of these changes in ownership interests and the effect on stockholders’ equity was as follows for the periods presented:

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, in connection with our plan to sell our lifestyle protection insurance business, we recorded an estimated after-tax loss of approximately $306 million, net of taxes of $152 million. In the third quarter, we increased our estimated after-tax loss by $12 million. In accordance with the accounting guidance for groups of assets that are held-for-sale, we recorded an impairment of $451 million to record the carrying value of the business at its fair value, which was based on estimated proceeds less $124 million of pension settlement costs and closing costs.

On July 22, 2015, we entered into exclusive negotiations with AXA S.A. after receiving an irrevocable offer to sell our lifestyle protection insurance business. On September 17, 2015, we executed a purchase agreement following the completion of the French works council consultation process on September 15, 2015. The sale price is expected to be €475 million, or approximately $490 million based on foreign exchange rates on September 30, 2015. The sale price and estimated net loss will be adjusted for changes in stockholders’ equity and other items since December 31, 2014 and are subject to change between now and closing. Net proceeds from the transaction, net of pension settlement costs and closing costs, are estimated to be approximately $400 million. The sale is expected to close by the end of 2015 and is subject to other customary conditions, including requisite regulatory approvals.

(b) European mortgage insurance business

On October 27, 2015, we announced that Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation, our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, has entered into an agreement to sell our European mortgage insurance business to AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. that is expected to result in net proceeds of approximately $55 million. As the held-for-sale criteria were satisfied during the fourth quarter of 2015, we expect to record an after-tax loss of

approximately $140 million related to the sale. Our European mortgage insurance business, previously included in Other Countries in our International Mortgage Insurance segment, will be reported as held for sale and its financial position will be separately reported in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016 and is subject to customary conditions, including requisite regulatory approvals.

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Our insurance company subsidiaries are restricted by state and foreign laws and regulations as to the amount of dividends they may pay to their parent without regulatory approval in any year, the purpose of which is to protect affected insurance policyholders and contractholders, not stockholders. Any dividends in excess of limits are deemed “extraordinary” and require approval. Based on estimated statutory results as of December 31, 2014, in accordance with applicable dividend restrictions, our subsidiaries could pay dividends of approximately $0.5 billion to us in 2015 without obtaining regulatory approval, and the remaining net assets are considered restricted. While the $0.5 billion is unrestricted, we do not expect our insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends to us in 2015 at this level as they retain capital for growth and to meet capital requirements and desired thresholds. As of September 30, 2015, Genworth Financial’s and Genworth Holdings’ subsidiaries had restricted net assets of $13.1 billion and $13.2 billion, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein and with our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will” or words of similar meaning and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions, which are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially due to global political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors and risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

    Risks relating to all of our businesses, including:

(i) inability to successfully develop and execute strategic plans to effectively address our current business challenges (including with respect to our long-term care insurance business, ratings and capital), including as a result of our inability to complete the planned sale of our lifestyle protection insurance business, certain blocks of our term life insurance or our European mortgage insurance business at all or on the terms anticipated and failure to attract buyers for any other businesses or other assets we may seek to sell, or securities we may seek to issue, in each case, in a timely manner on anticipated terms; inability to generate required capital; failure to obtain any required regulatory, stockholder and/or noteholder approvals or consents, or our challenges changing or being more costly or difficult to successfully address than currently anticipated or the benefits achieved being less than anticipated; inability to successfully develop more targeted product features and benefits, strengthen relationships with producers or achieve anticipated cost-savings in a timely manner; adverse tax or accounting charges; (ii) inability to increase the capital needed in our businesses in a timely manner and on anticipated terms, including through improved business performance, reinsurance or similar transactions, asset sales, securities offerings or otherwise, in each case as and when required; (iii) inadequate reserves and the need to increase reserves, including as a result of any changes we may make to our assumptions, methodologies or otherwise in connection with periodic or other reviews (including as a result of our actual experience differing significantly from our assumptions); (iv) ineffective or inadequate risk management in identifying, controlling or mitigating risks; weaknesses in, or ineffective, internal controls; (v) recent or future adverse rating agency actions, including with respect to rating downgrades or potential downgrades, being placed on negative outlook or being put on review for potential downgrade, all of which could have adverse implications for us, including with respect to key business relationships, product offerings, business results of operations, financial condition and capital needs, strategic plans, collateral obligations and availability and terms of hedging, reinsurance and borrowings; (vi) inability to retain, attract and motivate qualified employees and independent sales representatives, particularly in the light of our recent business challenges; (vii) adverse change in regulatory requirements, including risk-based capital; (viii) dependence on dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries (particularly our international subsidiaries) and the inability of any subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us, including as a result of the performance of our subsidiaries and insurance, regulatory or corporate law restrictions (including the unwillingness or inability of the subsidiary that indirectly owns most of the interests in our Australian and Canadian mortgage insurance businesses to pay the dividends that it receives from those businesses as a result of the impact on its financial condition of its capital support for certain long-term care insurance related reinsurance arrangements); (ix) inability to borrow under our credit facility; (x) downturns and volatility in global economies and equity and credit markets; (xi) interest rates and changes in rates; (xii) availability, affordability and

    Risks relating primarily to our mortgage insurance businesses, including:

(i) deterioration in economic conditions or a decline in home prices that adversely affect our loss experience in mortgage insurance; (ii) premiums for the significant portion of our international mortgage insurance risk in-force with high loan-to-value ratios may not be sufficient to compensate us for the greater risks associated with those policies; (iii) competition in our international and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses, including from government and government-owned and government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”) offering mortgage insurance; (iv) changes in regulations adversely affecting our international operations; (v) inability to meet or maintain the private mortgage insurer eligibility requirements (“PMIERs”) on the contemplated timetable with the contemplated funding; (vi) inability of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries to meet minimum statutory capital requirements and hazardous financial condition standards; (vii) the influence of Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and a small number of large mortgage lenders on the U.S. mortgage insurance market and adverse changes to the role or structure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; (viii) increases in U.S. mortgage insurance default rates; (ix) inability to realize anticipated benefits of our rescissions, curtailments, loan modifications or other similar programs in our U.S. mortgage insurance business; (x) problems associated with foreclosure process defects in the United States that may defer claim payments; (xi) competition with GSEs may put us at a disadvantage on pricing and other terms and conditions; (xii) adverse changes in regulations affecting our U.S. mortgage insurance business; (xiii) decreases in the volume of high loan-to-value mortgage originations or increases in mortgage insurance cancellations in the United States; (xiv) increases in the use of alternatives to private mortgage insurance in the United States and reductions in the level of coverage selected; and (xv) potential liabilities in connection with our U.S. contract underwriting services;

 

    Risks relating primarily to our long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuities businesses, including:

(i) our inability to increase sufficiently, and in a timely manner, premiums on in-force long-term care insurance policies and/or reduce in-force benefits, and charge higher premiums on new policies, in each case, as currently anticipated (including the future increases assumed in connection with the completion of our margin reviews in the fourth quarter of 2014) and as may be required from time to time in the future (including as a result of our failure to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals or unwillingness or inability of policyholders to pay increased premiums); our inability to reflect future

premium increases and other management actions in our margin calculation as anticipated; (ii) failure to sufficiently increase demand for our long-term care insurance, life insurance and fixed annuity products; (iii) adverse impact on our financial results as a result of projected profits followed by projected losses (as is currently the case with our long-term care insurance business); (iv) deviations from our persistency assumptions used to price and establish reserves for our insurance policies and annuity contracts; (v) medical advances, such as genetic research and diagnostic imaging, and related legislation that impact policyholder behavior in ways adverse to us; and (vi) inability to continue to implement actions to mitigate the impact of statutory reserve requirements;

 

    Other risks, including:

(i) the possibility that in certain circumstances we will be obligated to make payments to General Electric Company (“GE”) under the tax matters agreement with GE even if our corresponding tax savings are never realized and payments could be accelerated in the event of certain changes in control; and (ii) provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the tax matters agreement with GE may discourage takeover attempts and business combinations that stockholders might consider in their best interests; and

 

    Risks relating to our common stock, including:

(i) the continued suspension of payment of dividends; and (ii) stock price fluctuations.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Overview

Our business

We are dedicated to helping meet the homeownership, insurance and retirement needs of our customers, with a presence in more than 25 countries. We operate through three divisions: Global Mortgage Insurance, U.S. Life Insurance and Corporate and Other. Under these divisions, there are four operating business segments. The Global Mortgage Insurance Division includes the International Mortgage Insurance and U.S. Mortgage Insurance segments. The U.S. Life Insurance Division includes the U.S. Life Insurance segment. The Corporate and Other Division includes the Runoff segment and Corporate and Other activities. We have the following operating segments:

 

    International Mortgage Insurance. We are a leading provider of mortgage insurance products and related services in Canada and Australia and also participate in select European and other countries. Our products predominantly insure prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. We also selectively provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk, basis that aids in the sale of mortgages to the capital markets and helps lenders manage capital and risk. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate efficiently and manage risk.

 

    U.S. Mortgage Insurance. In the United States, we offer mortgage insurance products predominantly insuring prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. We selectively provide mortgage insurance on a bulk basis with essentially all of our bulk writings being prime-based. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate efficiently and manage risk.

 

    U.S. Life Insurance. We offer and manage a variety of insurance and fixed annuity products in the United States. Our primary products include long-term care insurance, life insurance and fixed annuities.

 

   

Runoff. The Runoff segment includes the results of non-strategic products which are no longer actively sold. Our non-strategic products primarily include our variable annuity, variable life insurance,

 

102


Table of Contents
 

institutional, corporate-owned life insurance and other accident and health insurance products. Institutional products consist of funding agreements, funding agreements backing notes (“FABNs”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”). We no longer offer retail and group variable annuities but continue to service our existing blocks of business.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include debt financing expenses that are incurred at the Genworth Holdings, Inc. (“Genworth Holdings”) level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, eliminations of inter-segment transactions and the results of other non-core businesses that are managed outside of our operating segments, including discontinued operations.

In June 2015, our Board of Directors approved a transaction to sell our lifestyle protection insurance business, which had previously been designated as a non-core business. As the held-for-sale criteria were satisfied during the second quarter of 2015, we recorded an estimated loss to reduce the carrying value of the business to the fair value less pension settlement costs and closing costs. Our lifestyle protection insurance business, previously the only business in the International Protection segment, has been reported as discontinued operations and its financial position, results of operations and cash flows are separately reported for all periods presented. All prior periods reflected herein have been re-presented on this basis. See note 15 in our consolidated financial statements under “Item 1—Financial Statements” for additional information.

Strategic Update

In connection with the release of our results in the fourth quarter of 2014, we announced that we had commenced a review of a broad range of strategic options to maximize long-term stockholder value. In assessing our options, we considered, among other factors, the level of and restrictions contained in our existing indebtedness, tax considerations, the views of regulators and rating agencies, and the performance, prospects and interdependencies of our businesses.

As we move forward, we continue to make progress on our strategic objectives in order to position us for the future and are actively engaged in three areas: (1) strengthening our long-term care insurance and mortgage insurance businesses, including generating and maintaining PMIERs capital credit; (2) simplifying our business structure and portfolio, including repatriating our Brookfield Life and Annuity Insurance Company Limited (“BLAIC”) long-term care insurance business; and (3) increasing our financial strength and flexibility through separate initiatives such as selling blocks of business, reducing ownership of or selling businesses and a multi-step restructuring plan targeting annualized cash savings in excess of $100 million in 2016 as well as reducing holding company debt levels over time.

We are making progress in 2015 with the following transactions. In May 2015, we sold an additional 14.2% of our Australian mortgage insurance business, which reduced our ownership percentage to 52.0% and generated net proceeds of $226 million. In addition, in September 2015, we entered into an agreement with AXA S.A. to sell our lifestyle protection insurance business, which had previously been designated as a non-core business for us. The planned sale of this business is expected to be completed by the end of 2015 and generate approximately $400 million of net proceeds, most of which we expect to use for debt reduction. In September 2015, we also announced we had agreed to sell certain blocks of our term life insurance to Protective Life Insurance Company which is expected to generate initial capital of approximately $100 million to $150 million in aggregate to Genworth. We expect the transaction will utilize all of the net operating losses in our U.S. life insurance companies resulting in expected intercompany tax payments over time to the holding company and other entities for the use of their tax benefits. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016, subject to customary conditions, including requisite regulatory approvals. On October 27, 2015, we announced that Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation (“GMICO”), our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, has entered into an agreement to sell our European mortgage insurance business to AmTrust Financial Services, Inc. This transaction is expected to result in net proceeds of approximately $55 million and close in the first quarter of 2016, subject to customary conditions, including requisite regulatory approvals.

Table of Contents

In addition, we have significantly increased capital levels of our U.S. mortgage insurance business in 2015. As of September 30, 2015, our U.S. mortgage insurance business would be compliant with the PMIERs capital requirements, and would hold a reasonable amount in excess of these capital requirements, giving effect to: (i) two previously completed excess of loss reinsurance transactions with a panel of reinsurers, both effective July 1, 2015, that we expect will provide up to approximately $300 million of PMIERs credit as of December 31, 2015; (ii) a recently completed intercompany sale of the U.S. mortgage insurance business’ ownership interest in affiliated preferred securities for approximately $200 million; (iii) an internal corporate entity restructuring completed on October 1, 2015; and (iv) a reinsurance transaction covering our 2015 book year entered into with a panel of reinsurers which is pending GSE approval, which we expect will provide up to an additional $225 million of PMIERs capital credit as of December 31, 2015. In addition, we expect the estimated net proceeds from the sale of our European mortgage insurance business, announced on October 27, 2015, will provide additional PMIERs capital credit to our U.S. mortgage insurance business in 2016 upon closing. Prior to this transaction, our U.S. mortgage insurance business did not receive PMIERs capital credit for its ownership of the European mortgage insurance business. We will look to execute future capital transactions over time that are expected to provide a prudent level of financial flexibility in excess of the PMIERs capital requirements, including additional reinsurance transactions and contributions of holding company cash.

We are committed to position our U.S. mortgage and Canadian mortgage insurance businesses for growth by ensuring they are appropriately positioned to write profitable new business at attractive returns. In our long-term care insurance business, we intend to, among other things, pursue additional long-term care insurance rate actions, seek opportunities to reduce risk in older blocks of our long-term care insurance business and utilize reinsurance. In-force premium rate actions or benefit reductions continue to be our most important objective for this business and we are actively working with regulators on this front. We also seek to enhance our financial strength and flexibility over time to maintain our commercial presence. In addition, we may pursue additional life or annuity block transactions to improve our regulatory capital. Our focus on increasing the value of our life insurance and annuities businesses will include addressing the financial challenges of the aging population by offering more targeted product features and benefits and working with those producers who are focused on the same challenges. At the same time, we plan to evaluate an appropriately sized cost structure to support these businesses. For a discussion of risks related to our strategic plans, see “Part II—Item 1A—Risk Factors—We may be unable to successfully develop and execute strategic plans to effectively address our current business challenges.”

Business trends and conditions

Our business is, and we expect will continue to be, influenced by a number of industry-wide and product-specific trends and conditions.

General conditions and trends affecting our businesses

Financial and economic environment. The stability of both the financial markets and global economies in which we operate impacts the sales, revenue growth and profitability trends of our businesses. During 2014 and into the first nine months of 2015, the U.S. and several international financial markets have been impacted by concerns regarding global economies and the rate and strength of recovery, particularly given recent political and geographical events in Eastern Europe and the Middle East and slow growth in China, as well as continued decreases in oil and commodity prices.

While the U.S. housing market continues to recover with home affordability above historical levels in certain regions, an increase in mortgage interest rates more broadly in the future may slow the overall housing recovery. Unemployment and underemployment levels in the United States decreased in 2014 and through the first nine months of 2015. Going forward, we expect moderate economic growth characterized by ongoing modest improvement in home values along with moderate changes in unemployment and underemployment levels. In Canada, the housing market improved in 2014 and through 2015 driven by continued low interest rates that have

 

104


Table of Contents

maintained affordability as home prices increased. The Canadian unemployment rate at the end of the third quarter of 2015 increased compared to the end of 2014 and the first half of 2015. We expect unemployment in certain regions of Canada may be pressured for the remainder of 2015 primarily driven by concerns of decreasing oil prices and its impact to the oil producing provinces of Canada. The unemployment rate in other parts of Canada is expected to be consistent with current levels. In Australia, the overall housing market continued to improve as modest economic growth and low interest rates persisted. The unemployment rate in Australia at the end of the third quarter of 2015 decreased compared to the end of 2014 and we expect the unemployment rate, other than in Queensland and Western Australia, to be relatively stable or to move modestly upward through the remainder of 2015 as the economy continues to transition away from being commodity focused, impacting investment levels. The Chinese economy had experienced significant growth over the past decade. This growth slowed during 2013 and into 2014 and the new Chinese administration began to implement economic and credit market reforms. Gross domestic product growth in China in 2014 and the first nine months of 2015 was significantly lower than growth over the past decade with the slowest growth in the past five years being in the second quarter of 2015. Given the relative size of the Chinese economy, the impact of a significant change in the pace of economic expansion in China could impact global economies, partly as a result of lower commodity imports, particularly those from the Asia Pacific region, including Australia. Europe remained a challenging region, despite early signs of modest improvement and increases in confidence, with slow growth or, in some countries, a declining economic environment with lower lending activity and reduced consumer spending, particularly in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy. The overall economic environment in Europe remains fragile given concerns over debt repayment issues in Greece and unemployment, which in many countries remains just below record highs. As a result, we expect future economic growth to be modest in Europe. Additionally, Germany’s economy could be impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Ukraine and sanctions imposed on Russia and the increasing migrant pressure from the civil war in Syria, which could negatively impact other European markets. See “—Trends and conditions affecting our segments” below for a discussion regarding the impacts the financial markets and global economies have on our businesses.

Slow or varied levels of economic growth, coupled with uncertain financial markets and economic outlooks, changes in government policy, regulatory reforms and other changes in market conditions, influenced, and we believe will continue to influence, investment and spending decisions by consumers and businesses as they adjust their consumption, debt, capital and risk profiles in response to these conditions. These trends change as investor confidence in the markets and the outlook for some consumers and businesses shift. As a result, our sales, revenues and profitability trends of certain insurance and investment products have been and could be further impacted negatively or positively going forward. In particular, factors such as government spending, monetary policies, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, anticipated tax policy changes and the impact of global financial regulation reform will continue to affect economic and business outlooks and consumer behaviors moving forward.

The U.S. and international governments, the Federal Reserve, other central banks and other legislative and regulatory bodies have taken certain actions to support the economy and capital markets, influence interest rates, influence housing markets and mortgage servicing and provide liquidity to promote economic growth. These include various mortgage restructuring programs implemented or under consideration by the GSEs, lenders, servicers and the U.S. government. Outside of the United States, various governments and central banks have taken and continue to take actions to stimulate economies, stabilize financial systems and improve market liquidity. In aggregate, these actions had a positive effect in the short term on these countries and their markets; however, there can be no assurance as to the future impact these types of actions may have on the economic and financial markets, including levels of volatility. A delayed economic recovery period, a U.S. or global recession or regional or global financial crisis could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Investments and derivatives

Investments—credit and investment markets

Developed market government bond yields declined in the third quarter of 2015 on signs of slowing global activity. China’s currency devaluation in August 2015 caused global growth expectations to be revised downward, accelerating the decline in oil and metals prices and pressuring commodity-based emerging market economies. The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee held rates steady during the third quarter of 2015, citing downside risks to global growth, tighter financial conditions and muted inflation, but suggested a rate hike is possible before the end of 2015.

Credit spreads generally widened during the third quarter of 2015, pressured by weaker oil and metals prices and heavy investment grade corporate bond supply driven by merger and acquisition financings and share buybacks. Commodity exposed credits and companies with below investment grade ratings broadly underperformed the market on reduced investor risk appetite.

Increases in interest rates and credit spreads have decreased the value of our investments and derivatives, resulting in decreases in net unrealized investment gains on securities of $728 million and derivatives qualifying as hedges of $60 million in each case included in other comprehensive income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Economic conditions will continue to impact the valuation of our investment portfolios and the amount of other-than-temporary impairments.

Looking ahead, we believe the current credit environment provides stable investment opportunities and we expect corporate defaults to remain relatively low. Prolonged weakness in oil and other commodity prices could continue to pressure smaller or highly leveraged companies, and some emerging market companies. Our energy portfolio is predominantly investment grade and our metals and mining sector holdings are relatively low. We expect ongoing ratings pressure on these sectors given commodity price levels but believe our energy portfolio is well-positioned and we would expect minimal capital impact on our U.S. life insurance subsidiaries.

We believe the current credit environment provides us with opportunities to invest across a variety of asset classes including expanding into a small allocation of alternative assets, but we anticipate our returns will continue to be pressured primarily because of low interest rates. See “—Investments and Derivative Instruments” for additional information on our investment portfolio.

Derivatives

We continue to take actions to mitigate the risk to our derivatives portfolio arising from our counterparties right to terminate their derivatives transactions with us following ratings downgrades. As of September 30, 2015, we have negotiated amendments to master swap agreements governing $11.4 billion notional of our derivatives portfolio, such that the current ratings of Genworth Holdings and our life insurance subsidiaries are at least one-notch above the level at which counterparties could terminate the transactions under those agreements. As of September 30, 2015, we have moved $8.5 billion notional of our derivatives portfolio from bilateral over-the-counter agreements to clearing through the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”), which has required us to post initial margin of $91 million to CME through our clearing agents. The customer agreements that govern our cleared derivatives contain provisions that enable our clearing agents to request initial margin in excess of CME requirements. So far, they have not done so, but may do so in the future. Because our clearing agent serves as a guarantor of our obligations to the CME, the customer agreements contain broad termination provisions that are not specifically dependent on ratings. As of September 30, 2015, we have no significant positions in bilateral over-the-counter derivatives agreements where the counterparty has the right to terminate its transactions with us based on our current ratings.

Trends and conditions affecting our segments

International Mortgage Insurance

Results of our international mortgage insurance business are affected by changes in regulatory environments, employment levels, consumer borrowing behavior, lender mortgage-related strategies, including lender servicing practices, and other economic and housing market influences, including interest rate trends, home price appreciation or depreciation, mortgage origination volume, levels and aging of mortgage delinquencies and movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

Canada and Australia comprise approximately 99% of our international mortgage insurance primary risk in-force. These established markets will continue to be key drivers of revenues and earnings in our international mortgage insurance business. During 2014 and continuing into the first nine months of 2015, the U.S. dollar strengthened against many foreign currencies, in particular the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar, which negatively impacted the results of our international mortgage insurance business as reported in U.S. dollars. Any future movement in foreign exchange rates could impact future results.

Canada. In Canada, the housing market improved in 2014 and in the first nine months of 2015 driven by continued low interest rates that maintained affordability as home prices increased. Job creation has been steady so far in 2015 with the addition of approximately 127,000 jobs and with the September 2015 unemployment rate at 7.1% after ending at 6.7% in 2014. We expect unemployment to remain in that range for the remainder of 2015. However, there is pressure on unemployment in certain provinces primarily driven by continued concerns of lower oil prices and its impact to the oil producing provinces of Canada. In response to slow economic growth, the overnight interest rate was reduced by 0.25% in July 2015 to 0.50% with the expectation that the low interest rate environment will continue through 2015 and into 2016.

Home sales in Canada increased approximately 4% in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in the prior year, with tight supply continuing to pressure prices in select urban markets with the resale market remaining at or near balanced market conditions. However, we have begun to see some modest home price pressure in regions whose economy is more energy dependent in the first nine months of 2015. We expect the growth rate of the high loan-to-value market to reflect the change in housing resale activity and home price appreciation. According to the Bank of Canada, economic growth as measured by the Canadian gross domestic product decreased by approximately 0.6% in the first quarter of 2015 and by 0.5% in the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to the effects of lower oil prices. However, the Bank of Canada still expects growth of just over 1% for 2015. We expect the growth of the Canadian gross domestic product in 2015 to be fueled by increasing non-energy exports and business investments, a stronger U.S. economy and a weaker Canadian dollar that benefits exports in Central Canada and British Columbia, offset by the negative impact of lower oil prices. The continuing low oil prices is an emerging risk due to its potential impact on employment and housing, especially in the provinces of Alberta, Newfoundland and Saskatchewan. We will continue to monitor the impact of oil prices as part of our proactive portfolio risk management strategy but the loss ratio in Canada could be modestly higher in the fourth quarter of 2015 and into 2016.

On April 1, 2015, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (“CMHC”) implemented a price increase to its National Housing Act Mortgage-Backed Securities (“NHA MBS”) guarantee fees. Under the NHA MBS Program, CMHC guarantees timely payment of principal and interest to purchasers of the mortgage-backed securities backed by pools of eligible insured mortgages. The NHA MBS guarantee fees are paid by lenders in addition to the mortgage insurance premium. On June 3, 2015, the Canadian government published regulations that prohibit the substitution of mortgages in insured pools after May 15, 2015 and limit the mortgage insurer’s commitment period to no more than one year. Subsequently, on June 6, 2015, the Canadian government published draft regulations to implement the prohibition that was announced in its 2013 budget to limit portfolio insurance to only those mortgages that will be used in CMHC securitization programs and to prohibit the use of government guaranteed insured mortgages in private securitizations. Genworth MI Canada Inc. (“Genworth Canada”) anticipates the regulations will now become effective in the first half of 2016. Although it is difficult to

determine the full impact of these changes at this time, we believe the changes will decrease demand for low loan-to-value mortgage insurance.

As a result of its annual review of its insurance products and capital requirements, CMHC increased its mortgage insurance premiums by 15% for homebuyers with less than a 10% down payment effective June 1, 2015. Genworth Canada also increased its price by 15% for homebuyers with less than a 10% down payment effective June 1, 2015. Homebuyers with less than 10% down payment represents about 65% of Genworth Canada’s flow new insurance written. Gross written premiums increased by approximately $9 million in the third quarter of 2015 from the price increase.

On November 6, 2014, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (“OSFI”) published the final B-21 Residential Mortgage Insurance Underwriting Practices and Procedures Guideline (the “B-21 Guideline”). In the B-21 Guideline, OSFI sets out principles that promote and support sound residential mortgage insurance underwriting. These six principles focus on three main themes: i) governance, development of business objectives and strategy, and oversight; ii) interaction with lenders as part of the underwriting process; and iii) internal underwriting operations and risk management. The B-21 Guideline also enhances disclosure requirements, which will support greater transparency, clarity and public confidence in mortgage insurers’ residential mortgage insurance underwriting practices. Genworth Canada is in compliance with the B-21 Guideline which was effective June 30, 2015.

Australia. In Australia, the overall economy continued to expand during 2014 and into the nine months of 2015, though at a more modest pace than in prior years, with ongoing evidence of variation in economic activity across sectors and regions. At the same time, housing activity improved primarily from sustained low interest rates which were reduced another 0.25% to 2% by the Reserve Bank of Australia in May 2015. The Reserve Bank of Australia expects the current interest rate reduction to add further support to demand, to foster growth and inflation outcomes consistent with their targets. The unemployment rate was 6.2% at the end of the third quarter of 2015 after reaching a 12-year high of 6.3% in 2014. We expect unemployment to be relatively stable or to move modestly upward as we progress through the remainder of 2015 as the economy continues to transition away from being commodity focused, impacting investment levels. During the third quarter of 2015, Australia observed a decrease in new delinquencies and an increase in cures as compared to the prior quarter which is consistent with normal seasonal variation that is typically observed in the Australia market. We also note that delinquencies within certain mining-related areas within Queensland and Western Australia decreased in the third quarter of 2015 but remain elevated as compared to other regions. If this trend continues in Queensland and Western Australia, the loss ratio in Australia could increase going forward. The Australian housing market continued to improve into the first nine months of 2015, with home values on average 11.0% higher than a year ago. The Sydney and Melbourne housing markets continue to be the major driver with annual growth rates of 16.7% and 14.2%, respectively. We expect home price appreciation to moderate during the remainder of 2015 still supported by limited housing supply and record low interest rates driving improved affordability.

In December 2013, the Australian government announced that there would be an inquiry into Australia’s financial system. The Financial System Inquiry (“FSI”) made a number of recommendations, which were released by the Australian government in December 2014. The FSI has recommended, among other things, that capital levels for internal ratings-based (“IRB”) authorized deposit taking institutions (“ADIs”) be raised against residential real estate risks. The FSI has also recommended narrowing the average risk-weight gap between average risk-weights for the IRB ADIs and other ADIs to help competition. In releasing the FSI’s recommendations, the Australian Treasurer commented that the FSI’s recommendations on bank capital are for the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (“APRA”) and the Reserve Bank of Australia to consider as independent regulators. In signaling a response to the FSI’s recommendations, on July 13, 2015, APRA released a study comparing the capital position of the Australian IRB banks against a group of international peers, commenting that the IRB banks will need to increase their capital ratios by at least 200 basis points relative to their position in June 2014 to strengthen their position relative to international peers. This was an information

paper with no requirements or timing. However, on July 20, 2015, APRA issued a press release announcing that for the IRB banks the average risk-weight on Australian residential mortgage exposures will increase from approximately 16% to at least 25%, which will come into effect on July 1, 2016. In October 2015, the Australian government issued a response to the FSI recommendations, setting forth the Australian government’s approach and intended timeline for improving Australia’s financial system. While the Australian government agreed with the FSI’s recommendations regarding setting strong capital ratio requirements for ADIs and narrowing mortgage risk weight differences, the Australian government’s response did not specifically comment on the role and utilization of mortgage insurance. Rather, the Australian government endorsed APRA’s role in regulating these areas. Given the recent nature of these regulatory and policy developments, we and other market participants are still assessing potential impacts and we have therefore not yet determined whether or how these regulatory and policy developments will impact our Australian mortgage insurance business.

In November 2014, APRA released Prudential Practice Guide APG 223 Residential Mortgage Lending (“APG 223”), as part of its continued focus on lending standards. The guidelines are focused on clarifying the regulators’ expectations around lending standards and, amongst other items, addressed the strengthening of loan serviceability testing across all ADIs. In addition, APRA also wrote to ADIs to advise that in their view annual investor credit growth materially above a benchmark of 10% would be an important risk indicator that supervisors will take into account when reviewing ADIs’ residential mortgage risk profile and considering supervisory actions. In August 2015, the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (“ASIC”) released a report following its investigations into “interest-only” loans over the first half of 2015. The report introduces new responsible lending guidance for banks and non-bank lenders, brokers and servicers, focusing on home loans. The impact of APG 223 and the increased supervision by APRA and ASIC has been the tightening of lending standards which in 2015 has begun to lead to reduced volumes of new insurance written for loans with loan-to-values greater than 80% and gross written premiums in our Australian mortgage insurance business.

In February 2015, one of our three largest customers in Australia notified us that it was terminating its relationship with respect to new business effective May 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2014, this customer represented 10% and 14% of new insurance written and gross written premiums, respectively. The term of the current supply and service contract with our largest customer expires on December 31, 2016, unless it is terminated earlier in certain circumstances, including, among other things, a downgrade of the financial strength rating of our principal mortgage insurance subsidiary in Australia by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (“S&P”) to below “A-” (subject to certain exceptions). The term of the current supply and service contract with our next remaining largest customer in Australia was originally set to expire on September 30, 2015 but was extended during the second quarter of 2015 to November 2017 with a 12-month extension option at the customer’s discretion.

On May 11, 2015, we sold 92,300,000 of our shares in Genworth Mortgage Insurance Australia Limited (“Genworth Australia”) at AUD$3.08 per ordinary share. Following completion of this offering, our ownership percentage decreased from 66.2% to 52.0% in May 2015.

Other Countries. The overall economic environment in Europe remains fragile given concerns over debt repayment issues in Greece and unemployment which in many countries remains just below record highs. As a result, we expect future economic growth to be modest. We are seeing a slow resurgence in high loan-to-value lending in our target countries in Europe as lenders begin to slowly re-enter these markets for the first time since the global financial crisis. As a result of the lingering economic recession, we have seen an elevated number of delinquencies and lower cures in our older books of business, most notably in Ireland, contributing to higher losses over the last few years. However, these books are well seasoned now and as a result we saw a reduction in net new delinquencies on these books during 2014 and into the first nine months of 2015. Even though our newer books of business are less seasoned, they are performing well in comparison to pricing expectations. In the fourth quarter of 2014, lender settlements reduced active delinquencies by approximately 40% and capped our exposure in Ireland to approximately $60 million or about 3% of our total outstanding risk in-force in Europe. We have been focused on writing new business in Italy, Finland, Germany and the United Kingdom, which we expect to continue until the recently announced sale of our European mortgage insurance business is complete.

U.S. Mortgage Insurance

Results of our U.S. mortgage insurance business are affected by the following factors: competitor actions; unemployment or underemployment levels; other economic and housing market trends, including interest rates, home prices, mortgage origination volume mix and practices; the levels and aging of mortgage delinquencies, which may be affected by seasonal variations; the inventory of unsold homes; lender modification and other servicing efforts; and resolution of pending or any future litigation, among other items. The impact of prior years’ weakness and uncertainty in the domestic economy, related levels of unemployment and underemployment and resulting increase in foreclosures, the number of borrowers seeking loan modifications and the level of housing inventories with the related impact on home values, all combined to contribute adversely to the performance of our insured portfolio relating to our 2005 through 2008 book years. Going forward, we expect moderate economic growth characterized by ongoing modest improvement in home values along with moderate changes in unemployment and underemployment levels. Our results are subject to the continued recovery of the U.S. housing market and the extent of the adverse impact of seasonality that we experience historically in the second half of the year.

We believe that the level of private mortgage insurance industry market penetration and eventual market size will continue to be affected by actions taken by the GSEs, the Federal Housing Administration (the “FHA”), the Federal Housing Finance Agency (the “FHFA”), the U.S. Congress or the U.S. government which impact housing or housing finance policy. Over time, these actions have included announced changes, or potential changes, to underwriting standards, FHA pricing, GSE guaranty fees and loan limits as well as low-down-payment programs available through the FHA or GSEs. Specifically, recent actions include Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac decisions to resume purchases of certain loans with down payments as low as 3%. This has resulted in a modest increase in loans purchased by the GSEs with private mortgage insurance relative to overall originations. Also, the FHA reduced the annual mortgage insurance premium it charges but the FHA premium reduction has not had to date a material adverse effect on private mortgage insurers’ ability to sustain market share. Further, there has been a modest reduction in the amount of certain loan-level price adjustment fees charged by the GSEs but this fee change has not had to date, and is not expected to have, a material impact on mortgage originations or the competitiveness of private mortgage insurance versus that of FHA insurance.

In addition to the actions described above, in December 2013, the FHFA issued for comment a proposal to reduce GSE loan limits. We filed a comment letter in March 2014 in response to that proposal. To date the FHFA has not yet issued a final determination regarding loan limits. If implemented, lower loan limits could limit demand for mortgage loans with private mortgage insurance coverage.

On April 17, 2015, the final PMIERs were publicly released by the GSEs in conjunction with the FHFA. PMIERs will be used by the GSEs to approve private mortgage insurers that provide mortgage insurance on loans acquired by them. As of September 30, 2015, our U.S mortgage insurance business would be compliant with the PMIERs capital requirements, and would hold a reasonable amount in excess of these capital requirements, giving effect to: (i) two previously completed excess of loss reinsurance transactions with a panel of reinsurers, both effective July 1, 2015, that we expect will provide up to approximately $300 million of PMIERs credit as of December 31, 2015; (ii) a recently completed intercompany sale of the U.S. mortgage insurance business’ ownership interest in affiliated preferred securities for approximately $200 million; (iii) an internal corporate entity restructuring completed on October 1, 2015; and (iv) a reinsurance transaction covering our 2015 book year entered into with a panel of reinsurers which is pending GSE approval, which we expect will provide up to an additional $225 million of PMIERs capital credit as of December 31, 2015. In addition, we expect the estimated net proceeds of approximately $55 million from the sale of our European mortgage insurance business, announced on October 27, 2015, will provide additional PMIERs capital credit to our U.S. mortgage insurance business in 2016 upon closing. Our assessment of PMIERs compliance is based on a number of factors including our view of the ongoing performance of our U.S. mortgage insurance business reflecting assumed market size and other dynamics, as well as current affiliate asset valuations under the PMIERs. Additionally, our current estimate reflects a decrease in affiliate asset valuation due to changes since our prior estimate in market value and

currency fluctuations. In order to continue to provide a prudent level of financial flexibility in excess of the PMIERs capital requirements given the dynamic nature of asset and requirement valuations over time, our U.S. mortgage insurance business may execute future capital transactions, including additional reinsurance transactions and contributions of holding company cash.

As discussed above, our U.S. mortgage insurance business completed two reinsurance transactions during the third quarter of 2015 designed to provide PMIERs capital credit. As a result of these reinsurance transactions, ceded premiums in our U.S. mortgage insurance business increased in the third quarter of 2015, which will continue going forward. PMIERs capital benefits and ceded premiums from these transactions are expected to decline over time primarily through loan amortization and policy lapse.

On June 30, 2015, the GSEs in conjunction with the FHFA published revisions to the final PMIERs that included the addition of a factor (multiplier) to be applied to loans with lender paid insurance for business written on or after January 1, 2016 to calculate the risk-based required asset amount. We offer single premium lender paid insurance to lenders on a negotiated transaction basis. We participate in this market selectively based upon our evaluation of the risk return profile of these transactions. We are evaluating the impact of the application of this factor to loans insured after January 1, 2016.

Also in June 2015, the Wisconsin Department of Insurance sent mortgage insurance companies a letter inquiring about, among other things, their discounted lender paid mortgage insurance practices. In July 2015, we responded to the letter from the Wisconsin Department of Insurance by providing detailed responses to the questions outlined in the inquiry, including a description of certain mortgage insurance pricing practices. If the percentage of our business written as single premium lender paid insurance increases compared to our borrower paid insurance, all other things being equal, our weighted-average returns will be lower.

As of September 30, 2015, GMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio under the current regulatory framework as established under North Carolina law and enforced by the North Carolina Department of Insurance (“NCDOI”), GMICO’s domestic insurance regulator, was approximately 14.3:1, compared with a risk-to-capital ratio of approximately 13.5:1 as of June 30, 2015 and 14.3:1 as of December 31, 2014. This risk-to-capital ratio remains below the NCDOI’s maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25:1. The NCDOI’s current regulatory framework by which GMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio is calculated differs from the capital requirement methodology in the final PMIERs. GMICO’s ongoing risk-to-capital ratio will depend principally on the magnitude of future losses incurred by GMICO, the effectiveness of ongoing loss mitigation activities, new business volume and profitability, the amount of policy lapses, the amount of additional capital that is generated within the business or capital support (if any) that we provide and changes in the value of affiliate assets. Our estimate of the amount and timing of future losses and these foregoing factors are inherently uncertain, require significant judgment and may change significantly over time. In the third quarter of 2015, we recorded a decrease in GMICO’s statutory surplus of approximately $90 million related to the anticipated sale of our European mortgage insurance business, which impacted our statutory risk-to-capital ratio by less than one point. In July 2015, GMICO’s sale of its ownership interest in affiliated preferred securities to Genworth Holdings had no impact on GMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio as of June 30, 2015; however, it does benefit our progress in complying with the final PMIERs by the effective date (as noted above). In addition, as a result of this sale, our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries will no longer receive dividends from these preferred securities; however, there will be no impact on consolidated results as the dividends will be paid to Genworth Holdings going forward.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the “NAIC”) is reviewing the current Mortgage Guaranty Model Act, including minimum capital and surplus requirements for mortgage insurers through the Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Working Group (the “MGIWG”). The MGIWG has not established a date by which it must make proposals to change such requirements. However, as we learn more specific information about these NAIC activities, we continue to assess the potential impact, if any, that these new requirements may have on our U.S. mortgage insurance business and evaluate the options potentially available to meet any legislative or regulatory measures adopted as a result of the NAIC recommendations.

Overall mortgage originations were down in the third quarter of 2015 as a result of a decline in refinances driven by increased interest rates, partially offset by an increase in purchase originations driven by a strong home-selling season, an increase in purchases by first time homebuyers, and higher home prices. Over time, mortgage interest rates are expected to increase, and as a result, we would expect refinancing activities to continue to decrease. Accordingly, we continue to believe that, as the mix of the mortgage originations market shifts from refinancing activities to purchase originations, originations which are insured with private mortgage insurance will increase relative to total originations leading to a larger market for private mortgage insurance over time. Our U.S. mortgage insurance estimated market share remained stable during the third quarter of 2015. We continue to manage the quality of new business through our underwriting guidelines, which we modify from time to time when circumstances warrant. The amount of single premium lender paid new insurance written increased in the third quarter of 2015 reflecting our selective participation in this market. Future volumes of this product will vary depending on our evaluation of the risk return profile of these transactions, as well as our evaluation of the impact of the PMIERs factor (multiplier) that takes effect for loans insured on or after January 1, 2016. We have also observed intensified price competition with borrower paid mortgage insurance during the third quarter of 2015.

New delinquencies increased during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the prior quarter. The increase is consistent with our normal seasonal patterns and the majority of the new delinquencies continue to come from the 2005 through 2008 book years. Delinquencies from those book years continue to be the principal source of new delinquencies reported to us and our portfolio continues to be adversely affected by those delinquencies. Beginning in mid-2010, we saw an increase in foreclosure starts as well as an increase in our paid claims as late stage delinquency loans go through foreclosure. Beginning in 2014, the pace of foreclosure starts began to slow and as a consequence actual foreclosure timelines have lengthened. We believe this delay in foreclosure starts may in part be a result of the implementation of a Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) mortgage servicing rule (the “CFPB Rule”) that requires lenders and servicers to defer foreclosure starts until a borrower is at least 120-days delinquent to permit possible loan modification or workout solutions and as a result in improvements in the housing market and overall economy. These lengthened foreclosure timelines, have been accommodated by GSE extensions of the allowable period over which certain foreclosure actions by lenders and servicers may occur. We believe additional loan workout or modification solutions that would ultimately reduce the number of foreclosure actions from these early stage delinquencies may result from the deferral of the foreclosure start date, coupled with GSE foreclosure timeline extension guidelines and the CFPB Rule’s early intervention provisions that require a lender or servicer to utilize good faith efforts to establish live contact with delinquent borrowers and provide written notice of available loss mitigation options. We have seen differences in performance among loan servicers regarding the ability to modify loans and avoid foreclosure. On the other hand, a lengthening of the foreclosure process itself reflected by the GSE foreclosure timeline extensions and extended timelines in judicial foreclosure states has led and is expected to continue to lead to increased claims expense relative to foreclosures conducted in the pre-financial crisis environment. Depending on our experience going forward, we may need to adjust our reserve frequency or severity assumptions, which could either increase or decrease reserves over time as experience from these programs continues to emerge.

Improved underwriting guidelines for the origination of loans comprising our 2009 through 2015 book years as well as improved mortgage servicing practices, such as our expanded efforts to modify loans, combined with improvements in the overall economy and housing market have resulted in lower overall delinquency levels through the third quarter of 2015. However, our 2009 through 2012 book years are experiencing higher prepayment rates driven by lower interest rates in 2015 relative to the time of origination. While we continue to see benefits from loan modification actions on newer delinquencies within our portfolio, loan modification efforts have continued to remain more difficult to complete on the older delinquencies within our delinquent loan population. We have seen the older delinquencies that remain unresolved within our portfolio, particularly those from the 2005 through 2008 book years, continue to age through the third quarter of 2015. The ongoing lengthening of the foreclosure process as discussed above continues to result in ongoing elevated levels of expenses associated with those claims. We believe that the ability to cure delinquent loans is dependent upon such things as employment levels, home values and mortgage interest rates. In addition, while we continue to

execute on our loan modification strategy, which cures the underlying delinquencies and improves the ability of borrowers to meet the debt service on their mortgage loans going forward, we have seen the level of ongoing loan modification actions decline during the period from 2011 through the third quarter of 2015 compared with the levels we experienced during preceding periods. We expect our level of loan modifications to continue to decline going forward in line with the expected reduction in delinquent loans and because of the continuing aging of delinquencies. However, we further expect the rate at which newly delinquent loans are modified to remain steady given the GSEs streamlined modification program and the overall improvement over time of the economy and housing market.

As of September 30, 2015, loans modified through the Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”) accounted for approximately $17.8 billion of insurance in-force, with $16.6 billion of those loans from our 2005 through 2008 book years. The volume of new HARP modifications continues to decrease as the number of loans that would benefit from a HARP modification decreases. Loans modified through HARP have extended amortization periods and reduced interest rates, which reduce borrower’s monthly payments. Over time, we expect these modified loans to result in extended premium streams and a lower incidence of default. The U.S. government has extended HARP through the year ending December 31, 2016. For financial reporting purposes, we report HARP modified loans as a modification of the coverage on existing insurance in-force rather than new insurance written.

In 2014, the Obama Administration announced that it would extend the Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) through December 31, 2015 (and the Administration subsequently further extended the program through December 31, 2016), and expand borrower eligibility by adjusting certain underwriting requirements. Also in 2014, incentives paid to the owner of a loan that qualifies for principal reduction under HAMP were increased and, for the first time, offered to the GSEs. However, to date, the GSEs are not participating in this program. While the impact of the these program extensions to date has remained positive, there can be no assurance that the number of loans that are modified under HAMP, including mortgage loans we insure currently, is sustainable over time or that any such modifications will succeed in ultimately avoiding foreclosure, in part based on our historical experience with modified loans which later re-default. In addition, beginning in the third quarter of 2014, borrowers who received a HAMP modification began to experience a gradual interest rate increase of up to 1% per year (referred to as interest rate resets), until such time as their mortgage interest rate reaches the market interest rate at the time the loan was modified. While the government and the mortgage services industry remain committed to working with borrowers under this program, we cannot predict whether these interest rate resets will have a material adverse impact on the performance of loans that have received HAMP modifications or if the resulting effect of avoiding foreclosure is sustainable over time.

U.S. Life Insurance

We calculate and maintain reserves for the estimated future payment of claims to our policyholders and contractholders based on actuarial assumptions and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and industry practice. Many factors can affect the reserves in our U.S. life insurance businesses and because they are not known in advance, change over time, are difficult to accurately predict and are inherently uncertain, we cannot determine with precision the ultimate amounts we will pay for actual claims or the timing of those payments. We also perform loss recognition testing to ensure that the current reserves along with the present value of future gross premiums are sufficient to cover the present value of future expected claims and expense, as well as recover the unamortized portion of DAC and, if any, PVFP. If the loss recognition test indicates a deficiency in the ability to pay all future claims and expenses, including the amortization of DAC and PVFP, a loss is recognized in earnings as an impairment of the DAC and/or PVFP balance and, if the loss is greater than the DAC and/or PVFP balance, by an increase in reserves.

In our U.S. life insurance businesses, our liability for policy and contract claims is reviewed quarterly as well as with our regular review of our claim reserve assumptions during the third quarter of each year. Our liability for future policy benefits is reviewed at least annually as a part of our loss recognition testing typically performed in the fourth quarter of each year. As part of loss recognition testing, we review the recoverability of

DAC and PVFP at least annually. We also perform cash flow testing separately for each of our U.S. life insurance companies on a statutory accounting basis annually.

During the third quarter of 2015, we reviewed our assumptions and methodologies relating to our claim reserves of our long-term care insurance business but did not make any significant changes to the assumptions or methodologies, other than routine updates to investment returns and benefit utilization rates as we typically do each quarter. These updates in the third quarter of 2015 did not have a significant impact on claim reserve levels. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we will conduct our annual review of assumptions related to our liability for future policy benefits or policyholder account balances for our long-term care insurance, life insurance and annuity products. This review will include updates to our assumptions, if necessary, based on any relevant observable trends in our experience and any changes to future expectations with respect to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, mortality, policyholder behavior and interest rates. As previously disclosed, the margin on our acquired block of long-term care insurance was zero after the reserve increase in the fourth quarter of 2014; therefore, the impacts of any adverse changes in assumptions would immediately be reflected in net income (loss). In addition, our acquired block would not benefit significantly from additional rate actions as it is older, and therefore, there is a higher likelihood that adverse changes could result in additional losses on that block.

We will continue to monitor our experience and assumptions closely and make changes to our assumptions and methodologies, when appropriate. Small changes in assumptions or small deviations of actual experience from assumptions can have, and in the past have had, material impacts on our reserve levels, results of operations and financial condition.

Long-term care insurance. Results of our long-term care insurance business are influenced by sales, competitor actions, morbidity, mortality, persistency, investment yields, expenses, ability to achieve rate actions, changes in regulations and reinsurance. Additionally, sales of our products are impacted by the relative competitiveness of our offerings based on product features, pricing and commission levels, actions by rating agencies and the impact of in-force rate actions on distribution and consumer demand. Changes in regulations or government programs, including long-term care insurance rate action legislation, could impact our long-term care insurance business either positively or negatively.

During the third quarter of 2014, we completed a comprehensive review of our long-term care insurance claim reserves. As a result of this review, we made changes to our assumptions and methodologies relating to our long-term care insurance claim reserves primarily impacting claim termination rates, most significantly in later-duration claims, and benefit utilization rates, reflecting that claims are not terminating as quickly and claimants are utilizing more of their available benefits in aggregate than had previously been assumed in our reserve calculations. The changes made to our claim reserve assumptions and methodologies in the third quarter of 2014 also informed the review of and changes to assumptions and methodologies used in our fourth quarter of 2014 loss recognition testing, which indicated that a premium deficiency existed for our acquired block of long-term care insurance. As a result, we have updated our future policy benefit reserve assumptions on our acquired block of long-term care insurance as of December 31, 2014. These updated assumptions will be locked-in until such time as another premium deficiency exists. While our loss recognition testing in the fourth quarter of 2014 for our long-term care insurance block, excluding the acquired block, indicated that block had positive margin of $2.3 billion, it also indicated we had projected profits in earlier years followed by projected losses totaling a present value of $1.2 billion in later years. As a result of this pattern of projected profits followed by projected losses, we are required to accrue additional future policy benefit reserves in the profitable years by the amounts necessary to offset losses in later years. Given our updated assumptions and methodologies discussed above, we are currently establishing higher claim reserves on new claims, which decrease earnings in the period in which the higher reserves are recorded. Consequently, results of our long-term care insurance business have been modest in 2015 and we expect results to continue to be modest going forward with some variability period to period. We will continue to regularly review our methodologies and assumptions in light of emerging experience and may be required to make further adjustments to our long-term care insurance claim reserves in the future, which could also impact our loss recognition testing results. Any further materially adverse changes to our claim reserves or changes as a result of loss recognition testing may have a materially negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and business.

We experience volatility in our loss ratios caused by variances in claim terminations, claim severity and claim counts. Our rate actions may also cause fluctuations in our loss ratios during the period when reserves are adjusted to reflect policyholders taking reduced benefits or non-forfeiture options within their policy coverage. In addition, we periodically review our claim reserve assumptions and methodologies based upon developing experience, which may result in changes to claim reserves and loss recognition testing results, causing volatility in our operating results and loss ratios. Our loss ratio was 173% in the third quarter of 2014 reflecting changes to our assumptions and methodologies relating to our claim reserves as part of the comprehensive review of our long-term care insurance reserves. Our loss ratio was 200% in the fourth quarter of 2014 reflecting the results of our annual loss recognition testing, which impacted our acquired block. As a result, our loss ratio for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 129% and the increase in reserves as a result of the reviews increased the loss ratio for our long-term care insurance business by 57 percentage points in 2014. Our loss ratio was 74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflecting our updated claims assumptions emerging from our review of claim reserves as well as our updated assumptions on our acquired block in 2014.

Our long-term care insurance sales decreased 64% during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and decreased 11% in the third quarter of 2015 from the second quarter of 2015. Sales decreased due to 2014 product changes that increased premium rates and reduced benefits offered, competing industry product solutions and certain distributors suspending sales of our products as a result of market uncertainty about the outcome of our strategic review, rating agency actions and our 2014 financial results. The overall long-term care insurance industry sales trends were down approximately 16% in the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 as companies have left the market over time and have introduced price increases, product changes, as well as from consumer concern tied to industry rate actions. In 2014, we launched a product which increased premium rates but gave consumers the flexibility to choose the right fit for their long-term care needs, combined with the simplicity of prepackaged benefits. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we began filing for regulatory approval of an enhanced product to improve competitiveness, while meeting our targeted returns, by, among other things, reducing premium rates and adjusting coverage options. As of September 30, 2015, this enhanced product had been filed in 47 states and approved in 44 states, and launched in 35 states on July 20, 2015, with an additional eight states targeted to be launched in November 2015. In support of this product, we are investing in targeted distribution and marketing initiatives to increase long-term care insurance sales. In addition, we are evaluating market trends and sales and investing in the development of products and distribution strategies that we believe will help expand the long-term care insurance market over time and meet broader consumer needs.

We also manage risk and capital allocated to our long-term care insurance business through utilization of external reinsurance in the form of coinsurance. We executed external reinsurance agreements to reinsure 20% of all sales of the long-term care insurance products that have been introduced since early 2013. External new business reinsurance levels vary and are dependent on a number of factors, including price, availability, risk tolerance and capital levels. Over time, there can be no assurance that affordable, or any, reinsurance will continue to be available. We also have external reinsurance on some older blocks of business which includes a treaty on a yearly renewable term basis on business that was written between 1998 and 2003. This yearly renewable term reinsurance provides coverage for claims on those policies for 15 years after the policy was written. After 15 years, reinsurance coverage ends for policies not on claim, while reinsurance coverage continues for policies on claim until the claim ends. Beginning in 2013 and extending through 2018, we have seen and may continue to see an increase in benefit costs if and when those policies are no longer covered under this reinsurance go on claim. In addition, we have a portion of our long-term care insurance business reinsured internally by BLAIC, one of our Bermuda-domiciled captive reinsurance subsidiaries. One of our strategic priorities is to repatriate our BLAIC long-term care insurance business. The timing of the repatriation is expected to occur in 2016 or later. If we implement the repatriation (following receipt of required regulatory approvals), there will be no impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as the financial impact of this reinsurance eliminates in consolidation, although there is expected to be an adverse impact on Genworth Life Insurance Company’s risk-based capital ratio, depending on the specifics and timing of a transaction.

As a result of ongoing challenges in our long-term care insurance business, we continue pursuing initiatives to improve the risk and profitability profile of our business including: premium rate increases and benefit reductions on our in-force policies; product refinements; changes to our current product offerings in certain states; new distribution strategies; investing in care coordination capabilities and service offerings; refining underwriting requirements; managing expense levels; actively exploring additional reinsurance strategies; executing investment strategies targeting higher returns; enhancing our financial and actuarial analytical capabilities; and considering other actions to improve the performance of the overall business. These efforts include a plan for significant future in-force premium rate increases on issued policies. In the third quarter of 2012, we initiated a round of long-term care insurance in-force premium rate increases on three policy series of older generation policies and on one early series of new generation policies. In the third quarter of 2013, we began filing for regulatory approval for premium rate increases on a second series of our new generation products. We continue to pursue these rate increases in the states that have either not responded, initially denied our rate increase request, or did not approve the full requested increase initially. The goal of our rate actions already implemented, as well as future rate actions, is to mitigate losses on our older generation policy series and help offset higher than priced-for loss ratios due to unfavorable performance and lower lapse rates than expected on newer generation products, with returns lower than original expectations. In addition to premium increases received, reserve levels, and thus our profitability, have been impacted, and we expect they will continue to be impacted, by policyholder behavior in response to premium rate increases which could include taking reduced benefits or non-forfeiture options. For all of these rate action filings, we received five filing approvals from five additional states in the third quarter of 2015, representing a weighted-average increase of 29% on $9 million in annualized in-force premiums. This compares to 10 approvals from eight states in the second quarter of 2015, with a weighted-average increase of 37% on $336 million in in-force premiums. We also submitted five new filings in five states in the third quarter of 2015, representing $74 million in in-force premiums, versus 16 filings in 11 states in the second quarter of 2015, representing $111 million in in-force premiums. These approvals are in line with our overall assumptions used in our 2014 margin testing. We have suspended sales in the past, and will consider taking similar actions in the future, in states where we are unable to obtain satisfactory rate increases on in-force policies as we did in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. The approval process for in-force rate increases and the amount and timing of the rate increases approved vary by state. In certain states, the decision to approve or disapprove a rate increase can take several years. Upon approval, insureds are provided with written notice of the increase and increases are generally applied on the insured’s policy anniversary date. Therefore, the benefits of any rate increase are not fully realized until the implementation cycle is complete and are therefore expected to be realized over time.

Continued low interest rates have also put pressure on the profitability and returns of our long-term care insurance business as higher yielding investments have matured and been replaced with lower-yielding investments. We seek to manage the impact of low interest rates through asset-liability management and hedging strategies for a portion of our long-term care insurance product cash flows.

Life insurance. Results of our life insurance business are impacted by sales, competitor actions, mortality, persistency, investment yields, expenses, reinsurance and statutory reserve requirements, among other factors. Additionally, sales of our products and persistency of our insurance in-force are dependent on competitive product features and pricing, underwriting, actions by rating agencies, distribution and customer service. Shifts in consumer demand, competitors’ actions, relative pricing, return on capital or reinsurance decisions and other factors, such as regulatory matters affecting life insurance policy reserve levels, can also affect our sales levels.

In 2014, mortality experience was favorable to pricing expectations for term life insurance and unfavorable for universal life and term universal life insurance, but experience fluctuated from quarter to quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our life insurance products experienced favorable mortality versus the prior year. In the third quarter of 2015, mortality experience was favorable to pricing expectations for our term life insurance products but unfavorable for our universal life and term universal life insurance products. Mortality levels may deviate each period from historical trends. Between 1999 and 2009, we had a significant increase in term life insurance sales, as compared to 1998 and prior years. As our 15-year term life insurance policies written in 1999 and 2000 transition to their post-level guaranteed premium rate period, we have experienced lower persistency compared to our pricing and valuation assumptions. In the future, as additional 10-, 15- and 20-year

Table of Contents

level premium period blocks enter their post-level guaranteed premium rate period, we would expect amortization of DAC to accelerate, premiums to decline and mortality to worsen and reduce profitability or create losses in our term life insurance products, in amounts that could be material, if persistency is lower than our original assumptions as it has been on our 10- and 15-year business written in 1999 and 2000.

Life insurance sales decreased 41% during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and decreased 20% in the third quarter of 2015 from the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in our sales was predominantly related to competitor actions in term life insurance and distributor suspensions following adverse rating actions.

During 2014, the NAIC adopted a new regulatory framework for the insurance industry’s use of captive life reinsurance subsidiaries, specifically those used to finance Regulations XXX and Actuarial Guideline 38 reserves. The framework adopted by the NAIC does not apply to policies issued on or before December 31, 2014 that are currently in captive life reinsurance subsidiaries but “grandfathers” these policies prospectively. The framework assumes that Principles Based Reserving (“PBR”) will be adopted and requires captives to hold collateral at a level that approximates PBR. While the use of captive life reinsurance will likely continue even with the adoption of PBR, if the use of captive life reinsurance were no longer permitted, discontinuance of our use of captive life reinsurance subsidiaries to finance statutory reserves on a prospective basis would likely increase costs related to alternative financing, such as third-party reinsurance. This, in turn, could result in potential reductions in or discontinuance of new term life insurance sales, which would adversely impact our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we cannot be certain that affordable alternative financing would be available.

A portion of our life insurance reserves are financed through captive reinsurance structures. The financing cost of certain captive reinsurance structures is determined in part by the financial strength ratings of our principal life insurance subsidiaries. As a result of the ratings downgrade of our principal life insurance subsidiaries in February 2015, the cost of financing increased for a portion of our captive-financed reserves by approximately $4 million per quarter. We are actively pursuing strategies to partially mitigate the negative impact of the increased financing cost through the use of reinsurance or the refinancing of existing reinsurance.

Fixed annuities. Results of our fixed annuities business are affected by investment performance, interest rate levels, slope of the interest rate yield curve, net interest spreads, equity market conditions, mortality, persistency, expense and commission levels, new product sales, competitor actions and competitiveness of our offerings. Our competitive position within many of our distribution channels and our ability to grow this business depends on many factors, including product offerings, relative pricing and our overall ratings.

In fixed annuities, sales may fluctuate as a result of consumer demand, actions by rating agencies, competitor actions, changes in interest rates, credit spreads, relative pricing, return on capital decisions and our approach to managing risk. We monitor and change prices and crediting rates on fixed annuities on a regular basis to maintain spreads and targeted returns. We have targeted distributors and producers and maintained sales capabilities that align with our strategy. Equity market performance and volatility could result in additional gains or losses, although associated hedging activities are expected to partially mitigate these impacts. Refinements of product offerings and related pricing, including ongoing evaluation of commission structures and changes in investment strategies, support our objective of achieving appropriate risk-adjusted returns.

Although sales of fixed annuities increased 16% in the third quarter of 2015 from the second quarter of 2015 due to competitive pricing, sales decreased 39% during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease was largely as a result of distributor actions. Following adverse rating actions after the announcement of our results for the third and fourth quarters of 2014, several of our distributors suspended distribution of our products. Those distributors made up approximately 36% of sales of our fixed annuity products for the year ended December 31, 2014. We expect that we will continue to be adversely impacted by these recent rating actions. In addition, we cannot predict the outcome of future rating

agency reviews and their potential impacts on our fixed annuity sales. To date, we have not observed any significant increases in lapses of in-force contracts as a result of our rating downgrades.

The Department of Labor has re-issued a proposed fiduciary standard rule for qualified plans that would, as presently proposed, include fixed annuities within its scope. It could make the sale of fixed annuities to qualified plans less attractive to distributors and thus potentially have a negative impact on our ability to grow or maintain current levels of sales in this market.

Runoff

Results of our Runoff segment are affected by investment performance, interest rate levels, net interest spreads, equity market conditions, mortality, policyholder loan activity, policyholder surrenders and scheduled maturities. In addition, the results of our Runoff segment can significantly impact our operating performance, regulatory capital requirements, distributable earnings and liquidity.

We discontinued sales of our individual and group variable annuities; however, we continue to service our existing block of business and accept additional deposits on existing contracts. Since then, equity market volatility has caused fluctuations in the results of our variable annuity products and regulatory capital requirements. In the future, equity and interest rate market performance and volatility could result in additional gains or losses in our variable annuity products although associated hedging activities are expected to partially mitigate these impacts. Volatility in the results of our variable annuity products can result in favorable or unfavorable impacts on earnings and statutory capital. In addition to the use of hedging activities to help mitigate impacts related to equity market volatility and interest rate risks, in the future, we may consider reinsurance opportunities to further mitigate volatility in results and manage capital.

The results of our institutional products are impacted by scheduled maturities, as well as liquidity levels. However, we believe our liquidity planning and our asset-liability management will mitigate this risk. While we do not actively sell institutional products, we may periodically issue funding agreements for asset-liability matching purposes.

Several factors may impact the time period for these products to runoff including the specific policy types, economic conditions and management strategies.

Financial Strength Ratings

Except as disclosed below, there were no changes of the financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 other than the downgrades previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2015.

On September 14, 2015, S&P raised the financial strength ratings of GMICO and Genworth Residential Mortgage Insurance Corporation of North Carolina to “BB+” from “BB-.” On October 1, 2015, we merged Genworth Residential Mortgage Insurance Corporation of North Carolina into GMICO.

On September 14, 2015, S&P also re-assigned a negative outlook on our financial strength ratings on our U.S. life insurance companies reflecting execution risk, citing significant challenges in implementing a successful turnaround strategy in our U.S. Life Insurance Division. S&P’s outlook had temporarily been on “CreditWatch-Developing” following our disclosures of a potential sale of Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company (“GLAIC”), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. The continued negative outlook on our holding company reflects S&P’s concerns regarding our life insurance companies, dividend capacity and reliance on asset sales. The negative outlook on our U.S. mortgage insurance companies accompanied the two notch upgrade and reflects select risks across the group and their potential influence on the overall group credit profile. A

primary risk they state is that the anticipated capital rebuilding process across our U.S. life and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses could be slowed or impaired.

On August 5, 2015, A.M. Best Company, Inc. (“A.M. Best”) assigned a negative outlook on our U.S. life insurance financial strength ratings reflecting concerns with the volatility of our earnings, lack of growth in our life and annuity operations and challenges to improve sales following the recent review of strategic alternatives, as well as the inherent volatility of our long-term care insurance business. A.M. Best’s outlook had temporarily been on “Under Review-Developing” following our disclosures of a potential sale of GLAIC.

As previously disclosed, on February 11, 2015, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) downgraded our U.S. life insurance financial strength ratings one-notch. At the same time, Moody’s assigned a negative outlook citing significant exposure to adversely performing legacy long-term care insurance business and challenges in rebuilding our traditional life insurance sales.

As discussed above, the rating agencies have placed certain of our subsidiaries on negative outlook, which creates a meaningful risk of further downgrades. For a discussion of the risks associated with ratings actions, see “Item 1A Risk Factors—Recent adverse rating agency actions have resulted in a loss of business and adversely affected our results of operations, financial condition and business and future adverse rating actions could have a further and more significant adverse impact on us” in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Premiums. Premiums consist primarily of premiums earned on insurance products for mortgage, long-term care, life and accident and health insurance, single premium immediate annuities and structured settlements with life contingencies.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment decreased $37 million. Our fixed annuities business decreased $37 million principally related to lower sales of our life-contingent products in the current year. Our life insurance business decreased $31 million largely from the recapture of a reinsurance agreement in the prior year that did not recur and higher reinsurance in the current year. Our long-term care insurance business increased $31 million largely from $25 million of higher premiums in the current year from in-force rate actions approved and implemented.

 

   

Our International Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $27 million primarily from a decrease of $46 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $14 million driven by a decrease of $21 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange

rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our Canadian mortgage insurance business increased from the seasoning of our larger in-force blocks of business in the current year. Our Australian mortgage insurance business decreased $13 million primarily from a decrease of $23 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our Australian mortgage insurance business increased primarily as a result of an adjustment of $8 million relating to refinements to premium recognition factors, partially offset by a decrease in premiums from lower flow volume in the current year.

Net investment income. Net investment income represents the income earned on our investments.

 

    Annualized weighted-average investment yields were 4.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Annualized weighted-average investment yields remained unchanged from the prior year primarily attributable to a $19 million lower unfavorable prepayment speed adjustment on structured securities, partially offset by lower gains of $6 million related to limited partnerships, $5 million of lower gains related to bond calls and mortgage prepayments and lower yields on higher average invested assets in the current year.

 

    The three months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $13 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net investment gains (losses). Net investment gains (losses) consist primarily of realized gains and losses from the sale or impairment of our investments and unrealized and realized gains and losses from our trading securities and derivative instruments. For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

 

    We recorded $3 million of higher net other-than-temporary impairments during the three months ended September 30, 2015. Of total impairments of $9 million recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2015, $6 million related to corporate securities, $2 million related to structured securities and $1 million related to commercial mortgage loans. Of total impairments of $6 million recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2014, $4 million related to financial hybrid securities as a result of certain banks being downgraded to below investment grade and $1 million related to structured securities.

 

    Net investment losses related to derivatives of $53 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 were primarily associated with hedging programs for our runoff variable annuity products, including decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from equity market fluctuation. We also had losses related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with assets held and losses related to a non-qualified derivative strategy to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our statutory capital position. These losses were partially offset by gains related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with expected dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries.

Net investment losses related to derivatives of $38 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily associated with hedging programs for our runoff variable annuity products, including decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from equity market fluctuation. We also had losses related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with assets held, as well as losses related to derivatives used to hedge our fixed indexed annuity product. These losses were partially offset by gains related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with expected dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries.

 

    We recorded $4 million of losses related to the sale of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $12 million of gains during the three months ended September 30, 2014. We recorded higher net gains of $8 million related to trading securities during the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to unrealized gains resulting from changes in the long-term interest rate environment in the current year.

Insurance and investment product fees and other. Insurance and investment product fees and other consist primarily of fees assessed against policyholder and contractholder account values, surrender charges, cost of insurance assessed on universal and term universal life insurance policies, advisory and administration service fees assessed on investment contractholder account values, broker/dealer commission revenues and other fees.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment decreased $9 million from our life insurance business largely related to lower production and a decrease in our term universal and universal life insurance in-force blocks in the current year.

 

    Our Runoff segment decreased $7 million mainly attributable to lower account values in our variable annuity products in the current year.

 

    Our International Mortgage Insurance segment increased $5 million primarily due to losses on non-functional currency transactions attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates on intercompany loans related to our Australian mortgage insurance business in the prior year that did not recur.

 

    Corporate and Other activities increased $3 million attributable to losses in the prior year from non-functional currency transactions attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates related to intercompany transactions.

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves. Benefits and other changes in policy reserves consist primarily of claim costs incurred related to mortgage insurance products and benefits paid and reserve activity related to current claims and future policy benefits on insurance and investment products for long-term care, life and accident and health insurance, structured settlements and single premium immediate annuities with life contingencies.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment decreased $567 million. Our long-term care insurance business decreased $488 million principally from a $531 million increase in claim reserves, net of reinsurance, in the prior year. In the third quarter of 2014, we completed a comprehensive review of our claim reserves which included changes to our assumptions and methodologies primarily impacting claim terminations, most significantly in later-duration claims, and benefit utilization reflecting that claimants are staying on claim longer and utilizing more of their available benefits in aggregate than had previously been assumed in our reserve calculations. During the third quarter of 2014, we also recorded a $54 million unfavorable correction, net of reinsurance, related to a calculation of benefit utilization for policies with a benefit inflation option that did not recur. These decreases were partially offset by aging and growth of the in-force block, higher severity and frequency on new claims and unfavorable corrections of $20 million principally related to reinsurance and a return of premium benefit reserve in the current year. Our life insurance business decreased $45 million primarily related to favorable mortality in our universal and term life insurance products and the recapture of a reinsurance agreement in the prior year related to our term life insurance products that did not recur. These decreases were partially offset by a favorable unlocking of $23 million in our term universal and universal life insurance products related to mortality and interest assumptions in the prior year that did not recur and unfavorable mortality in our term universal life insurance product in the current year. Our fixed annuities business decreased $34 million largely attributable to lower sales of our life-contingent products and lower interest credited on reserves, partially offset by unfavorable mortality in the current year.

 

    Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $78 million primarily driven by an aggregate increase in our claim reserves of $53 million in the prior year in connection with the settlement agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and discussions with another servicer in an effort to resolve pending disputes over loss mitigation activities that did not recur. The decrease was also attributable to a continued decline in new delinquencies primarily in our 2005 through 2008 book years, lower reserves on new delinquencies from continued improvement in economic conditions and improved net cures and aging of existing delinquencies in the current year.

Table of Contents
    Our International Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $4 million primarily as a result of a decrease of $13 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Other Countries decreased $5 million primarily in Ireland driven by lower new delinquencies and improved aging on our existing delinquencies, partially offset by lower cures in the current year mainly attributable to a lender settlement in the fourth quarter of 2014. Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $4 million driven by a decrease of $5 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our Canadian mortgage insurance business increased primarily from a higher average reserve per delinquency related to higher severity in certain regions and a modest increase in the number of new delinquencies, net of cures, in the current year. Our Australian mortgage insurance business increased $5 million primarily driven by an increase in reserves of $9 million in the current year mainly related to the estimate of the period of time it takes for a delinquent loan to be reported. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $7 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year.

 

    Our Runoff segment increased $5 million primarily related to our corporate-owned life insurance products driven by unfavorable mortality and an increase in our guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”) reserves in our variable annuity products due to unfavorable equity market performance in the current year.

Interest credited. Interest credited represents interest credited on behalf of policyholder and contractholder general account balances. Our U.S. Life Insurance segment decreased $7 million primarily related to our fixed annuities business driven by lower crediting rates and a decrease in average account values in the current year.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals. Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, represent costs and expenses related to the acquisition and ongoing maintenance of insurance and investment contracts, including commissions, policy issuance expenses and other underwriting and general operating costs. These costs and expenses are net of amounts that are capitalized and deferred, which are costs and expenses that are related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance policies and investment contracts, such as first-year commissions in excess of ultimate renewal commissions and other policy issuance expenses.

 

    Corporate and Other activities increased $29 million mainly from higher legal accruals and expenses of $26 million in the current year.

 

    Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment increased $3 million primarily from higher employee compensation expense that resulted from growth in sales in the current year.

 

    Our Runoff segment decreased $5 million largely related to lower commissions as a result of the runoff of our variable annuity products in the current year.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles. Amortization of DAC and intangibles consists primarily of the amortization of acquisition costs that are capitalized, PVFP and capitalized software.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment increased $439 million principally related to our life insurance business driven mostly by an impairment of DAC of $455 million as a result of loss recognition testing of certain term life insurance policies in the current year as part of a life block transaction, partially offset by an unfavorable unlocking of $12 million in our term universal and universal life insurance products related to mortality and interest assumptions in the prior year that did not recur.

 

    Our Runoff segment increased $12 million related to our variable annuity products principally from unfavorable equity market performance and impacts associated with our annual review of assumptions, which included a $7 million favorable unlocking in the prior year that did not recur.

Goodwill impairment. Charges for impairment of goodwill are a result of declines in the fair value of the reporting units. The goodwill impairment charges in the third quarter of 2014 were $200 million in our long-term care insurance business and $350 million in our life insurance business.

Interest expense. Interest expense represents interest related to our borrowings that are incurred at Genworth Holdings or subsidiaries and our non-recourse funding obligations and interest expense related to the Tax Matters Agreement and certain reinsurance arrangements being accounted for as deposits.

Benefit for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 38.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 19.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to non-deductible goodwill impairments in the prior year and decreased benefits from lower taxed foreign income in the current year, partially offset by increased benefits from tax favored investments and true ups related to lower taxed foreign income. The three months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $9 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the portion of income in a subsidiary attributable to third parties. The decrease was primarily related to our Canadian mortgage insurance business as a result of lower net income in the current year, partially offset by the sale of additional shares of our Australian mortgage insurance business in May 2015, which reduced our ownership percentage to 52.0% in the current year. The three months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $9 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders. We reported a lower net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in the current year primarily driven by our U.S. Life Insurance segment as a result of goodwill impairments of $517 million in the prior year that did not recur. The prior year also included an increase of $345 million in claim reserves, net of reinsurance, and a $35 million unfavorable correction, net of reinsurance, related to a calculation of benefit utilization for policies with a benefit inflation option in our long-term care insurance business that did not recur. In the current year, we recorded a DAC impairment of $296 million in our life insurance business and a $21 million loss related to our discontinued operations. For a discussion of each of our segments and Corporate and Other activities, see the “—Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment.” The net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2015 reflected an overall decrease of $11 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Premiums

 

    Our International Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $73 million primarily from a decrease of $102 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $37 million driven by a decrease of $48 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our Canadian mortgage insurance business increased primarily from the seasoning of our larger in-force blocks of business in the current year. Our Australian mortgage insurance business decreased $33 million driven by a decrease of $50 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our Australian mortgage insurance business increased primarily as a result of the seasoning of our in-force blocks of business, an adjustment of $8 million relating to refinements to premium recognition factors and higher premiums resulting from policy cancellations and refunds in the current year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in premiums from lower flow volume and higher ceded reinsurance premiums in the current year. Other Countries decreased $3 million primarily from a decrease of $4 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year.

Table of Contents
    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment decreased $11 million. Our fixed annuities business decreased $49 million principally from lower sales of our life-contingent products in the current year. Our life insurance business decreased $37 million primarily related to higher reinsurance, lapse experience and lower production in the current year. Our long-term care insurance business increased $75 million largely from $65 million of higher premiums in the current year from in-force rate actions approved and implemented.

 

    Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment increased $22 million mainly attributable to higher average flow insurance in-force, partially offset by higher ceded reinsurance premiums and an accrual for premium refunds related to policy cancellations in the current year.

Net investment income

 

    Annualized weighted-average investment yields were 4.5% and 4.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Annualized weighted-average investment yields decreased primarily attributable to lower reinvestment yields on higher average invested assets in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by an $18 million lower unfavorable prepayment speed adjustment on structured securities and higher gains of $9 million related to bond calls and mortgage prepayments in the current year.

 

    The nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $30 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net investment gains (losses). For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

 

    We recorded $3 million of higher net other-than-temporary impairments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Of total impairments of $12 million recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, $6 million related to corporate securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we recorded impairments of $4 million and $3 million, respectively, related to commercial mortgage loans and $2 million and $1 million, respectively, related to structured securities. Impairments related to financial hybrid securities as a result of certain banks being downgraded to below investment grade were $4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

    Net investment losses related to derivatives of $79 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were primarily associated with hedging programs for our runoff variable annuity products, including decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from equity market fluctuation. We also had losses related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with assets held and losses related to fixed indexed annuity derivatives. These losses were partially offset by gains related to derivatives to hedge foreign currency risk associated with expected dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries.

Net investment losses related to derivatives of $66 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily associated with hedging programs for our runoff variable annuity products, including decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from equity market fluctuation. We also had losses related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with assets held and proceeds from the initial public offering (“IPO”) of our Australian mortgage insurance business and losses related to a non-qualified derivative strategy to mitigate interest rate risk with our statutory capital positions. These losses were partially offset by gains related to hedge ineffectiveness from our cash flow hedge programs for our long-term care insurance business due to a decrease in long-term interest rates. We also had gains related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with expected dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries.

 

    We recorded $22 million of lower net gains related to trading securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulting from changes in the long-term interest rate environment. We recorded lower net gains of $6 million related to the sale of available-for-sale securities during the nine months

ended September 30, 2015. We recorded $5 million of lower net gains related to securitization entities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily associated with lower gains on derivatives.

Insurance and investment product fees and other

 

    Our Runoff segment decreased $14 million attributable to lower account values in our variable annuity products in the current year.

 

    Corporate and Other activities decreased $8 million mainly as a result of higher losses in the current year from non-functional currency transactions attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates related to intercompany transactions.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment increased $7 million predominantly from our life insurance business largely related to our universal life insurance products driven by higher income from certain older in-force policies and a $4 million unfavorable correction in the prior year that did not recur. These increases were partially offset by lower production, a decrease in our term universal and universal life insurance in-force blocks and higher terminations in our term universal life insurance product in the current year.

 

    Our International Mortgage Insurance segment increased $5 million primarily due to higher losses in the prior year on non-functional currency transactions attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates on remeasurement and partial payments of intercompany loans related to our Australian mortgage insurance business that did not recur.

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment decreased $471 million. Our long-term care insurance business decreased $341 million principally from a $531 million increase in claim reserves, net of reinsurance, in the prior year. In the third quarter of 2014, we completed a comprehensive review of our claim reserves which included changes to our assumptions and methodologies primarily impacting claim terminations, most significantly in later-duration claims, and benefit utilization reflecting that claimants are staying on claim longer and utilizing more of their available benefits in aggregate than had previously been assumed in our reserve calculations. During the third quarter of 2014, we also recorded a $54 million unfavorable correction, net of reinsurance, related to a calculation of benefit utilization for policies with a benefit inflation option that did not recur. These decreases were partially offset by aging and growth of the in-force block, higher severity and frequency on new claims, a less favorable impact of $38 million from reduced benefits related to in-force rate actions approved and implemented, net unfavorable adjustments of $16 million predominantly reflecting a refinement to a reserve calculation on our acquired block of business and incremental reserves of $7 million recorded in connection with an accrual for profits followed by losses in the current year. Our life insurance business decreased $67 million primarily related to our term life insurance products largely from favorable mortality, the recapture of a reinsurance agreement in the prior year that did not recur, higher ceded reinsurance and lower reserves on older in-force blocks in the current year. The decrease was also attributable to our universal life insurance products principally from favorable mortality in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by a favorable unlocking of $23 million in our term universal and universal life insurance products related to mortality and interest assumptions in the prior year that did not recur and unfavorable mortality in our term universal life insurance product in the current year. Our fixed annuities business decreased $63 million predominantly attributable to lower sales of our life-contingent products, lower interest credited on reserves and favorable mortality in the current year.

 

   

Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $103 million primarily driven by an aggregate increase in our claim reserves of $53 million in the prior year in connection with the settlement agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and discussions with another servicer in an effort to resolve

pending disputes over loss mitigation activities as well as a net reserve strengthening of $17 million that did not recur. The decrease was also as a result of a continued decline in new delinquencies primarily in our 2005 through 2008 book years in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by improved net cures and aging of existing delinquencies in the current year.

 

    Our International Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $3 million, including a decrease of $25 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Other Countries decreased $7 million primarily in Ireland driven by lower new delinquencies, improved aging on our existing delinquencies and a decrease of $2 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by lower cures in the current year mainly attributable to a lender settlement in the fourth quarter of 2014. Our Canadian mortgage insurance business increased $1 million primarily from a higher average reserve per delinquency related to higher severity in certain regions and an increase in the number of new delinquencies, net of cures, partially offset by a decrease of $10 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Our Australian mortgage insurance business increased $3 million primarily from an increase in reserves of $9 million in the current year mainly related to the estimate of the period of time it takes for a delinquent loan to be reported, a higher number of new delinquencies, net of cures, and an increase in the average claim payment in the current year. Partially offsetting these increases was a favorable adjustment of $7 million in the first quarter of 2015 related to the expected recovery of claims paid in prior periods and a decrease of $13 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

    Our Runoff segment increased $9 million primarily attributable to unfavorable mortality and an increase in our GMDB reserves in our variable annuity products due to unfavorable equity market performance in the current year.

Interest credited

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment decreased $16 million mainly related to our fixed annuities business driven by lower crediting rates and a decrease in average account values in the current year.

 

    Our Runoff segment increased $4 million largely related to higher cash values in our corporate-owned life insurance products in the current year.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals

 

    Corporate and Other activities increased $25 million increased mainly from higher legal accruals and expenses of $30 million, partially offset by lower net expenses after allocations to our operating segments in the current year.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment increased $16 million. Our long-term care insurance business increased $12 million from an unfavorable correction related to premium taxes in the current year. Our life insurance business increased $4 million largely from higher net commissions due to lower deferral rates on older in-force blocks and an unfavorable correction of $2 million related to premium taxes, partially offset by lower production in the current year.

 

    Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment increased $11 million primarily from higher employee compensation expense that resulted from growth in sales, higher premium taxes mainly attributable to higher production and a write-off of software in the current year.

 

   

Our International Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $10 million primarily from a decrease of $19 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $17 million mainly driven by an early redemption payment of $6 million in May 2014 related to the redemption of Genworth Canada’s senior notes that were scheduled to mature in 2015 that did not recur. The decrease was also attributable to lower stock-based compensation expense and a decrease of $5 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Our Australian mortgage insurance business increased $7 million primarily from

higher operating expenses in the current year related to contract fees and an early debt redemption payment of $2 million in July 2015 related to the redemption of AUD$90 million of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Limited’s subordinated floating rate notes that were scheduled to mature in 2021. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $12 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year.

 

    Our Runoff segment decreased $5 million largely related to lower commissions as a result of the runoff of our variable annuity products in the current year.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment increased $431 million. Our life insurance business increased $446 million largely from an impairment of DAC of $455 million as a result of loss recognition testing of certain term life insurance policies in the current year as part of a life block transaction and higher lapses in our term life insurance products. These increases were partially offset by an unfavorable unlocking of $12 million in our term universal and universal life insurance products related to mortality and interest assumptions in the prior year that did not recur. Our fixed annuities business decreased $11 million largely attributable to higher net investment losses in the current year. Our long-term care insurance business decreased $4 million largely related to the write-off of PVFP in connection with our annual loss recognition testing completed in the fourth quarter of 2014 which resulted in lower amortization in the current year.

 

    Our Runoff segment increased $6 million related to our variable annuity products principally from impacts associated with our annual review of assumptions, which included a $7 million favorable unlocking in the prior year that did not recur, partially offset by unfavorable equity market performance in the current year.

Goodwill impairment. The goodwill impairment charges in the third quarter of 2014 were $200 million in our long-term care insurance business and $350 million in our life insurance business.

Interest expense

 

    Corporate and Other activities decreased $14 million largely driven by the repayment of $485 million of senior notes in June 2014.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment increased $5 million as a result of our life insurance business principally from the impact of credit rating downgrades of our life insurance subsidiaries which increased the cost of financing term life insurance reserves in the current year.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 14.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to non-deductible goodwill impairments in the prior year and decreased benefits from lower taxed foreign income, partially offset by prior year true ups related to lower taxed foreign income and increased benefits from tax favored investments. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $22 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. The increase primarily related to the IPO of our Australian mortgage insurance business in May 2014, which reduced our ownership percentage to 66.2%, and the sale of additional shares in May 2015, which further reduced our ownership percentage to 52.0% in the current year. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $23 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders. We reported a lower net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in the current year primarily driven by our U.S.

Life Insurance segment as a result of goodwill impairments of $517 million in the prior year that did not recur. The prior year also included an increase of $345 million in claim reserves, net of reinsurance, and a $35 million unfavorable correction, net of reinsurance, related to a calculation of benefit utilization for policies with a benefit inflation option in our long-term care insurance business that did not recur. In the current year, we recorded a DAC impairment of $296 million in our life insurance business and a $334 million loss related to our discontinued operations. For a discussion of each of our segments and Corporate and Other activities, see the “—Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment.” The net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflected an overall decrease of $31 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Reconciliation of net loss to net operating income (loss)

Net operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $64 million compared to a net operating loss of $323 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Net operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $337 million compared to $17 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We define net operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions, restructuring costs and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Gains (losses) on insurance block transactions are defined as gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of non-recourse funding obligations, early termination fees for other financing restructuring and/or resulting gains (losses) on reinsurance restructuring for certain blocks of business. We exclude net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of our net investment gains (losses) is the result of impairments, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to our discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions and restructuring costs are also excluded from net operating income (loss) because, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. Infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income (loss) if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends.

While some of these items may be significant components of net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that net operating income (loss), and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income (loss), are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Management also uses net operating income (loss) as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. However, the items excluded from net operating income (loss) have occurred in the past and could, and in some cases will, recur in the future. Net operating income (loss) is not a substitute for net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of net operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

In the first quarter of 2015, we modified our definition to explicitly state that restructuring costs, which were previously included in the infrequent and unusual category, are excluded from net operating income (loss). In the second quarter of 2015, we recorded a $2 million after-tax expense related to restructuring costs as part of an expense reduction plan as we evaluate and appropriately size our organizational needs and expenses.

In the third quarter of 2014, we recorded goodwill impairments of $167 million, net of taxes, in our long-term care insurance business and $350 million, net of taxes, in our life insurance business.

In the third quarter of 2015, we paid an early redemption payment of approximately $1 million, net of taxes and portion attributable to noncontrolling interests, related to the early redemption of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Limited’s notes that were scheduled to mature in 2021. In the third quarter of 2015, we also repurchased approximately $50 million principal amount of Genworth Holdings, Inc.’s notes with various maturity dates for a loss of $1 million, net of taxes. In the second quarter of 2014, we paid an early redemption payment of approximately $2 million, net of taxes and portion attributable to noncontrolling interests, related to the early redemption of Genworth Canada’s notes that were scheduled to mature in 2015. These transactions were excluded from net operating income (loss) for the periods presented as they related to the loss on the early extinguishment of debt.

In the third quarter of 2015, we recorded a DAC impairment of $296 million, net of taxes, on certain term life insurance policies in connection with entering into an agreement to complete a life block transaction.

There were no infrequent or unusual items excluded from net operating income (loss) during the periods presented other than the following item. We recognized a tax charge of $7 million in the third quarter of 2015 from potential business portfolio changes related to our mortgage insurance business in Europe.

(1) Under applicable accounting guidance, companies in a loss position are required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share. Therefore, as a result of our loss from continuing operations available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders, net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net operating loss, in each case, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we were required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, as the inclusion of shares for stock options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights of 1.3 million and 5.4 million, respectively, would have been antidilutive to the calculation. If we had not incurred a loss from continuing operations available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders, net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net operating loss, in each case, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, dilutive potential weighted-average common shares outstanding would have been 498.7 million and 502.0 million, respectively. Since we had net operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2015, we used 498.7 million diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted net operating income per common share. As a result of our loss from continuing operations available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders, in each case, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we were required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as the inclusion of shares for stock options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights of 6.4 million would have been antidilutive to the calculation. If we had not incurred a loss from continuing operations available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders, in each case, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, dilutive potential weighted-average common shares outstanding would have been 502.8 million. Since we had net operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we used 502.8 million diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted net operating income per common share.

Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment

Our chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of net operating income (loss). See note 11 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under “Item 1—Financial Statements” for a reconciliation of net operating income (loss) of our segments and Corporate and Other activities to net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders.

In the first quarter of 2015, we revised how we allocate our consolidated provision for income taxes to our operating segments to simplify our process and reflect how our chief operating decision maker is evaluating segment performance. Our revised methodology applies a specific tax rate to the pre-tax income (loss) of each segment, which is then adjusted in each segment to reflect the tax attributes of items unique to that segment such as foreign income. The difference between the consolidated provision for income taxes and the sum of the provision for income taxes in each segment is reflected in Corporate and Other activities. Previously, we calculated a unique income tax provision for each segment based on quarterly changes to tax attributes and implications of transactions specific to each product within the segment.

The annually-determined tax rates and adjustments to each segment’s provision for income taxes are estimates which are subject to review and could change from year to year. Prior year amounts have not been re-presented to reflect this revised presentation and are, therefore, not comparable to the current year provision for income taxes by segment. However, we do not believe that the previous methodology would have resulted in a materially different segment-level provision for income taxes.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, the effective tax rates disclosed herein are calculated using whole dollars. As a result, the percentages shown may differ from an effective tax rate calculated using rounded numbers.

Management’s discussion and analysis by segment contains selected operating performance measures including “sales” and “insurance in-force” or “risk in-force” which are commonly used in the insurance industry as measures of operating performance.

Management regularly monitors and reports sales metrics as a measure of volume of new and renewal business generated in a period. Sales refer to: (1) new insurance written for mortgage insurance; (2) annualized first-year premiums for long-term care and term life insurance products; (3) annualized first-year deposits plus 5% of excess deposits for universal and term universal life insurance products; (4) 10% of premium deposits for linked-benefits products; and (5) new and additional premiums/deposits for fixed annuities. Sales do not include renewal premiums on policies or contracts written during prior periods. We consider new insurance written, annualized first-year premiums/deposits, premium equivalents and new premiums/deposits to be a measure of our operating performance because they represent a measure of new sales of insurance policies or contracts during a specified period, rather than a measure of our revenues or profitability during that period.

Management regularly monitors and reports insurance in-force and risk in-force. Insurance in-force for our international mortgage, U.S. mortgage and life insurance businesses is a measure of the aggregate face value of outstanding insurance policies as of the respective reporting date. For risk in-force in our international mortgage insurance business, we have computed an “effective” risk in-force amount, which recognizes that the loss on any particular loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the property. Effective risk in-force has been calculated by applying to insurance in-force a factor of 35% that represents our highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of our businesses in Canada and Australia. In Australia, we have certain risk share arrangements where we provide pro-rata coverage of certain loans rather than 100% coverage. As a result, for loans with these risk share arrangements, the applicable pro-rata coverage

 

133


Table of Contents

amount provided is used when applying the factor. Risk in-force for our U.S. mortgage insurance business is our obligation that is limited under contractual terms to the amounts less than 100% of the mortgage loan value. We consider insurance in-force and risk in-force to be measures of our operating performance because they represent measures of the size of our business at a specific date which will generate revenues and profits in a future period, rather than measures of our revenues or profitability during that period.

Management also regularly monitors and reports a loss ratio for our businesses. For our mortgage insurance businesses, the loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. For our long-term care insurance business, the loss ratio is the ratio of benefits and other changes in reserves less tabular interest on reserves less loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. We consider the loss ratio to be a measure of underwriting performance in these businesses and helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of our businesses.

An assumed tax rate of 35% is utilized in certain adjustments to net operating income (loss) and in the explanation of specific variances of operating performance.

These operating performance measures enable us to compare our operating performance across periods without regard to revenues or profitability related to policies or contracts sold in prior periods or from investments or other sources.

Net operating income

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $8 million primarily from a decrease of $7 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

 

    Our Australian mortgage insurance business decreased $27 million primarily from higher taxes and losses in the current year. The decrease was also attributable to the sale of additional shares of this business in May 2015, which reduced our ownership percentage to 52.0%. The three months ended September 30, 2015 also included a decrease of $6 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

    Other Countries’ net operating loss decreased $2 million primarily from lower losses in the current year.

Revenues

Premiums

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $14 million driven by a decrease of $21 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our Canadian mortgage insurance business increased from the seasoning of our larger in-force blocks of business in the current year.

 

    Our Australian mortgage insurance business decreased $13 million primarily from a decrease of $23 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our Australian mortgage insurance business increased primarily as a result of an adjustment of $8 million relating to refinements to premium recognition factors, partially offset by a decrease in premiums from lower flow volume in the current year.

Net investment income. Net investment income decreased $18 million primarily from a decrease of $13 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The decrease was also attributable to lower reinvestment yields largely related to our Australian mortgage insurance business.

Net investment gains (losses). For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.” Net investment gains (losses) decreased $16 million mainly related to our Canadian mortgage insurance business driven by higher derivative losses largely from hedging non-functional currency transactions in the current year. The three months ended September 30, 2015 also included an increase of $4 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Insurance and investment product fees and other. Insurance and investment product fees and other increased $5 million primarily due to losses on non-functional currency transactions attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates on intercompany loans related to our Australian mortgage insurance business in the prior year that did not recur.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $4 million driven by a decrease of $5 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our Canadian mortgage insurance business increased primarily from a higher average reserve per delinquency related to higher severity in certain regions and a modest increase in the number of new delinquencies, net of cures, in the current year.

 

136


Table of Contents
    Our Australian mortgage insurance business increased $5 million primarily driven by an increase in reserves of $9 million in the current year mainly related to the estimate of the period of time it takes for a delinquent loan to be reported. The three months ended September 30, 2015 also included a decrease of $7 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

    Other Countries decreased $5 million primarily in Ireland driven by lower new delinquencies and improved aging on our existing delinquencies, partially offset by lower cures in the current year mainly attributable to a lender settlement in the fourth quarter of 2014. The three months ended September 30, 2015 also included a decrease of $1 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $2 million driven by a decrease of $2 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year.

 

    Australian mortgage insurance business increased $2 million primarily from higher operating expenses related to contract fees in the current year and an early debt redemption payment of $2 million in July 2015 related to the redemption of AUD$90 million of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Limited’s subordinated floating rate notes that were scheduled to mature in 2021. The three months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $5 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 33.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 19.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to prior year true ups related to tax benefits from lower taxed foreign income, lower benefits from changes in uncertain tax positions in Australia in the prior year and decreased tax benefits from lower taxed foreign income. The three months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $9 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased $11 million primarily related to our Canadian mortgage insurance business as a result of lower net income in the current year, partially offset by the sale of additional shares of our Australian mortgage insurance business in May 2015, which reduced our ownership percentage to 52.0% in the current year. The three months ended September 30, 2015 also included a decrease of $9 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net operating income

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $19 million primarily from a decrease of $17 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was also attributable to higher losses and lower net investment income, partially offset by lower operating expenses and taxes in the current year.

 

    Our Australian mortgage insurance business decreased $87 million primarily driven by the IPO of this business in May 2014, which reduced our ownership percentage to 66.2%. In May 2015, we sold additional shares of this business, which further reduced our ownership percentage to 52.0%. The decrease was also attributable to higher taxes, operating expenses and losses in the current year. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 also included a decrease of $15 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

    Other Countries’ net operating loss decreased $2 million primarily from lower losses in the current year.

Revenues

Premiums

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $37 million driven by a decrease of $48 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our Canadian mortgage insurance business increased primarily from the seasoning of our larger in-force blocks of business in the current year.

 

    Our Australian mortgage insurance business decreased $33 million driven by a decrease of $50 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our Australian mortgage insurance business increased primarily as a result of the seasoning of our in-force blocks of business, an adjustment of $8 million relating to refinements to premium recognition factors and higher premiums resulting from policy cancellations and refunds in the current year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in premiums from lower flow volume and higher ceded reinsurance premiums in the current year.

 

    Other Countries decreased $3 million primarily from a decrease of $4 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year.

Net investment income. Net investment income decreased $38 million primarily from a decrease of $30 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The decrease was also attributable to lower reinvestment yields related to our Canadian and Australian mortgage insurance businesses.

Net investment gains (losses). For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.” Net investment gains (losses) decreased $22 million primarily related to our Canadian mortgage insurance business driven by higher derivative losses largely from hedging non-functional currency transactions, partially offset by higher net investment gains related to sales of securities in the current year. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 also included an increase of $2 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Insurance and investment product fees and other. Insurance and investment product fees and other increased $5 million primarily due to higher losses in the prior year on non-functional currency transactions attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates on remeasurement and partial payments of intercompany loans related to our Australian mortgage insurance business that did not recur.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business increased $1 million primarily from a higher average reserve per delinquency related to higher severity in certain regions and an increase in the number of new delinquencies, net of cures, in the current year. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 also included a decrease of $10 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

    Our Australian mortgage insurance business increased $3 million primarily from an increase in reserves of $9 million in the current year mainly related to the estimate of the period of time it takes for a delinquent loan to be reported, a higher number of new delinquencies, net of cures, and an increase in the average claim payment in the current year. Partially offsetting these increases was a favorable adjustment of $7 million in the first quarter of 2015 related to the expected recovery of claims paid in prior periods. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 also included a decrease of $13 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

    Other Countries decreased $7 million primarily in Ireland driven by lower new delinquencies and improved aging on our existing delinquencies, partially offset by lower cures in the current year mainly attributable to a lender settlement in the fourth quarter of 2014. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 also included a decrease of $2 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $17 million mainly driven by an early redemption payment of $6 million in May 2014 related to the redemption of Genworth Canada’s senior notes that were scheduled to mature in 2015 that did not recur. The decrease was also attributable to lower stock-based compensation expense in the current year. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $5 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

    Our Australian mortgage insurance business increased $7 million primarily from higher operating expenses in the current year related to contract fees and an early debt redemption payment of $2 million in July 2015 related to the redemption of AUD$90 million of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Limited’s subordinated floating rate notes that were scheduled to mature in 2021. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $12 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 30.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 23.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to decreased tax benefits from lower taxed foreign income, prior year true ups related to lower taxed foreign income and lower benefits from changes in uncertain tax positions in Australia in the prior year. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $22 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. The increase primarily related to the IPO of our Australian mortgage insurance business in May 2014, which reduced our ownership percentage to 66.2%, and the sale of additional shares in May 2015, which further reduced our ownership percentage to 52.0% in the current year. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $23 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force

Our businesses in Canada and Australia currently provide 100% coverage on the majority of the loans we insure in those markets. For the purpose of representing our risk in-force, we have computed an “effective” risk in-force amount, which recognizes that the loss on any particular loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the property. Effective risk in-force has been calculated by applying to insurance in-force a factor that represents our highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of our businesses in Canada and Australia. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, this factor was 35%. In Australia, we have certain risk share arrangements where we provide pro-rata coverage of certain loans rather than 100% coverage. As a result, for loans with these risk share arrangements, the applicable pro-rata coverage amount provided is used when applying the factor.

Table of Contents

In Canada, primary insurance in-force and risk in-force decreased $18.8 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively, as a result of decreases of $56.1 billion and $19.6 billion, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, primary insurance in-force and risk in-force increased primarily as a result of flow new insurance written and bulk activity.

In Australia, primary insurance in-force and risk in-force decreased $47.0 billion and $16.5 billion, respectively, driven by decreases of $55.5 billion and $19.4 billion, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, primary insurance in-force and risk in-force increased primarily from flow new insurance written.

In Other Countries, primary insurance in-force and risk in-force decreased $3.5 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, mainly from decreases of $2.8 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates and a lender settlement in Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2014, which reduced risk in-force by $600 million.

New insurance written

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, new insurance written in Canada decreased driven by a decrease of $2.0 billion attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, new insurance written increased as a result of higher flow new insurance written from higher market penetration in the current year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, new insurance written in Canada decreased driven by a decrease of $3.9 billion attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, new insurance written increased as a result of higher flow new insurance written from higher market penetration, partially offset by lower bulk activity in the current year.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, new insurance written in Australia decreased mainly attributable to a decrease in bulk activity in the current year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, new insurance written in Australia decreased mainly attributable to lower flow volume, partially offset by an increase in bulk activity in the current year. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included decreases of $1.6 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

New insurance written in Other Countries increased for the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of higher flow volume in Europe in the current year. New insurance written in Other Countries increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of higher flow volume in Europe and a bulk transaction in Mexico in the current year. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included decreases of $100 million and $300 million, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net premiums written

Most of our international mortgage insurance policies provide for single premiums at the time that loan proceeds are advanced. We initially record the single premiums to unearned premium reserves and recognize the premiums earned over time in accordance with the expected pattern of risk emergence. As of September 30, 2015, our unearned premium reserves were $2,482 million, including a decrease of $500 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, compared to $2,806 million as of September 30, 2014.

In Canada, net premiums written increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily from higher flow volume attributable to higher market penetration in the current year. In addition, the price increases on high loan-to-value premiums effective May 1, 2014 and June 1, 2015 resulted in higher net premiums written. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included decreases of $36 million and $68 million, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in Canada.

Table of Contents

In Australia, net premiums written decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily from lower average price due to changes in loan-to-value mix in the current year. Net premiums written decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily from lower flow volume and average price due to changes in loan-to-value mix, partially offset by bulk activity in the current year. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included decreases of $19 million and $49 million, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in Australia.

In Other Countries, net premiums written increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily from higher flow volume from new lenders in the current year. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 also attributable to lower ceded reinsurance premiums in the current year. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included decreases of $2 million and $4 million, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in Other Countries.

The loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The expense ratio is the ratio of general expenses to net premiums written. In our business, general expenses consist of acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, and amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles.

Loss ratio

In Canada, the loss ratio increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily from a higher average reserve per delinquency related to higher severity in certain regions and an increase in the number of new delinquencies, net of cures, in the current year.

In Australia, the loss ratio increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily driven by an increase in reserves of $9 million in the current year mainly related to the estimate of the period of time it takes for a delinquent loan to be reported. This increase in reserves coupled with the increase in premiums of $8 million from refinements to premium recognition factors increased the loss ratio by seven percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the loss ratio in Australia also increased as a result of a higher number of new delinquencies, net of cures, and an increase in the average claim payment in the current year. Partially offsetting these increases was a favorable adjustment of $7 million in the first quarter of 2015 related to the expected recovery of claims paid in prior periods.

 

143


Table of Contents

In Other Countries, the loss ratio decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily in Ireland driven by lower new delinquencies and improved aging on our existing delinquencies, partially offset by lower cures in the current year mainly attributable to a lender settlement in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Expense ratio

In Canada, the expense ratio decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily from higher net premiums written in the current year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the expense ratio decreased primarily attributable to lower stock-based compensation expense and higher net premiums written in the current year. The prior year also included an early redemption payment of $6 million in May 2014 related to the redemption of Genworth Canada’s senior notes that were scheduled to mature in 2015 that did not recur. The early redemption payment of $6 million increased the expense ratio by two percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

In Australia, the expense ratio increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily from lower net premiums written and higher operating expenses related to contract fees in the current year. The current year also included an early debt redemption payment of $2 million in July 2015 related to the redemption of AUD$90 million of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Limited’s subordinated floating rate notes that were scheduled to mature in 2021. The early redemption payment of $2 million increased the expense ratio by two percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

In Other Countries, the expense ratio decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily from higher net premiums written in the current year.

In Canada, flow loans in-force increased from new policies written and bulk loans in-force increased from bulk activity.

In Australia, flow and bulk loans in-force decreased as a result of cancellations in the current year. Flow delinquent loans increased as new delinquencies more than offset cures and paid claims.

In Other Countries, flow loans in-force and flow delinquent loans decreased compared to September 30, 2014 mainly attributable to a lender settlement in Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2014, which resulted in a decrease of 2,634 delinquent loans. Bulk loans in-force increased from a bulk transaction in Mexico in the current year.

Net operating income (loss)

We had net operating income in the current year compared to a net operating loss in the prior year. The net operating loss in the prior year was mainly attributable to an aggregate increase in our claim reserves of $34 million in connection with the settlement agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and discussions with another servicer in an effort to resolve pending disputes over loss mitigation activities that did not recur. Net operating income in the current year was the result of a continued decline in new delinquencies, lower reserves on new delinquencies and improved net cures and aging.

Table of Contents

Revenues

Premiums were flat as higher average flow insurance in-force was offset by higher ceded reinsurance premiums and an accrual for premium refunds related to policy cancellations in the current year.

Net investment income decreased primarily from lower intercompany dividends received of approximately $8 million as a result of the intercompany sale of U.S. mortgage insurance’s ownership interest in affiliated preferred securities in July 2015.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves decreased primarily driven by an aggregate increase in our claim reserves of $53 million in the prior year in connection with the settlement agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and discussions with another servicer in an effort to resolve pending disputes over loss mitigation activities that did not recur. The decrease was also attributable to a continued decline in new delinquencies primarily in our 2005 through 2008 book years, lower reserves on new delinquencies from continued improvement in economic conditions and improved net cures and aging of existing delinquencies in the current year.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, increased primarily from higher employee compensation expense that resulted from growth in sales in the current year.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to 35.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 83.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to true ups in the prior year, partially offset by decreased tax benefits from tax favored investments in the current year.

Net operating income

Net operating income increased mainly attributable to an aggregate increase in our claim reserves of $34 million in the prior year in connection with the settlement agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and discussions with another servicer in an effort to resolve pending disputes over loss mitigation activities as well as a net reserve strengthening of $11 million that did not recur. The increase was also from a continued decline in new delinquencies and higher premiums, partially offset by improved net cures and aging of existing delinquencies in the current year.

America, N.A. and discussions with another servicer in an effort to resolve pending disputes over loss mitigation activities as well as a net reserve strengthening of $17 million that did not recur. The decrease was also as a result of a continued decline in new delinquencies primarily in our 2005 through 2008 book years in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by a lower net benefit from cures and aging of existing delinquencies in the current year.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, increased primarily from higher employee compensation expense that resulted from growth in sales, higher premium taxes mainly attributable to higher insurance in-force and a write-off of software in the current year.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 35.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 32.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to changes in tax favored investment benefits and favorable true ups in the prior year, partially offset by changes in state tax valuation allowance and the loss of foreign tax credits in the prior year.

Net premiums written

     171        162        9        6     511        457        54        12

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force

Primary insurance in-force increased primarily as a result of the increase of $8.9 billion in flow insurance in-force, which increased from $108.6 billion as of September 30, 2014 to $117.5 billion as of September 30, 2015 as a result of new insurance written, partially offset by lapses during the current year. The increase in flow insurance in-force was partially offset by a decline of $0.9 billion in bulk insurance in-force, which decreased from $3.8 billion as of September 30, 2014 to $2.9 billion as of September 30, 2015 from lapses. In addition, risk in-force increased primarily as a result of higher flow insurance in-force. Flow persistency was 79% and 83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

New insurance written

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, new insurance written increased primarily driven by an increase in the mortgage insurance originations market. Mortgage refinance originations also increased as a result of lower interest rates during the current year. The current year included a higher concentration of single premium lender paid business reflecting our selective participation in the market.

Net premiums written

Net premiums written for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased due to a higher volume of single premium lender paid business in the current year reflecting our selective participation in the market. The increase was also from higher average flow insurance in-force in the current year.

Expense ratio

     24     23     1     23     23     —  

The loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The expense ratio is the ratio of general expenses to net premiums written. In our business, general expenses consist of acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, and amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles.

The loss ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased primarily driven by an aggregate increase in our claim reserves of $53 million in the prior year in connection with the settlement agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and discussions with another servicer in an effort to resolve pending disputes over loss mitigation activities that did not recur. The decrease was also attributable to a continued decline in new delinquencies primarily in our 2005 through 2008 book years, lower reserves on new delinquencies from continued improvement in economic conditions and improved net cures and aging of existing delinquencies in the current year. The charges of $53 million increased the loss ratio by 37 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased primarily driven by an aggregate increase in our claim reserves of $53 million in the prior year in connection with the settlement agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and discussions with another servicer in an effort to resolve pending disputes over loss mitigation activities as well as a net reserve strengthening of $17 million that did not recur. The decrease was also as a result of a continued decline in new delinquencies primarily in our 2005 through 2008 book years in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by improved net cures and aging of existing delinquencies in the current year. The charges of $53 million increased the loss ratio by 12 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The loss ratio also decreased due to an increase in net earned premiums mainly attributable to higher average flow insurance in-force, partially offset by higher ceded reinsurance premiums and an accrual for premium refunds related to policy cancellations in the current year.

The expense ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased from higher employee compensation expense that resulted from growth in sales, partially offset by higher net premiums written.

Net operating income (loss)

 

    Our long-term care insurance business net operating loss decreased $351 million largely as a result of a $345 million increase in claim reserves, net of reinsurance, in the prior year. During the third quarter of 2014, we also recorded a $35 million unfavorable correction, net of reinsurance, related to a calculation of benefit utilization for policies with a benefit inflation option that did not recur. The decrease was also attributable to $16 million of higher premiums and reduced benefits in the current year from in-force rate actions approved and implemented. These decreases were partially offset by unfavorable corrections of $21 million primarily related to reinsurance, premium taxes and a return of premium benefit reserve in the current year.

 

    Our life insurance business increased $18 million principally from favorable mortality in our term and universal life insurance products in the current year. The increase was also attributable to $9 million of unfavorable charges recorded in the prior year that included the impact of the recapture of a reinsurance agreement, an incurred but not reported reserve correction and a deferred premium asset write-off that did not recur. These increases were partially offset by a net favorable unlocking of $8 million in our term universal and universal life insurance products in the prior year that did not recur and unfavorable mortality in our term universal life insurance product in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $7 million primarily related to lower investment income and unfavorable mortality in the current year.

Revenues

Premiums

 

    Our long-term care insurance business increased $31 million largely from $25 million of higher premiums in the current year from in-force rate actions approved and implemented.

 

    Our life insurance business decreased $31 million largely from the recapture of a reinsurance agreement in the prior year that did not recur and higher reinsurance in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $37 million principally related to lower sales of our life-contingent products in the current year.

Net investment income

 

    Our long-term care insurance business increased $34 million largely from higher average invested assets due to growth of our in-force block and an $8 million unfavorable prepayment speed adjustment on structured securities in the prior year that did not recur, partially offset by lower reinvestment yields in the current year.

 

    Our life insurance business increased $3 million largely from a $9 million lower unfavorable prepayment speed adjustment on structured securities, partially offset by lower gains of $4 million from bond calls and mortgage loan prepayments and lower reinvestment yields in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $15 million largely due to lower reinvestment yields and lower average invested assets. The decrease was also attributable to lower gains of $3 million from limited partnerships and lower gains of $3 million from bond calls and mortgage loan prepayments in the current year.

Net investment gains (losses). For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

 

    In the current year, net investment gains of $4 million in our long-term care insurance business were largely related to derivative gains. Net investment losses of $1 million in the prior year were primarily related to impairments.

Table of Contents
    In the current year, net investment losses of $8 million in our life insurance business were largely related to impairments. Net investment gains of $10 million in the prior year were primarily related to net gains from the sale of investment securities.

 

    Net investment losses in our fixed annuities business increased $4 million largely related to derivative losses in the current year compared to gains in the prior year, partially offset by gains on embedded derivatives related to our fixed indexed annuities in the current year compared to losses in the prior year.

Insurance and investment product fees and other. The decrease was attributable to our life insurance business largely related to lower production and a decrease in our term universal and universal life insurance in-force blocks in the current year.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

 

    Our long-term care insurance business decreased $488 million principally from a $531 million increase in claim reserves, net of reinsurance, in the prior year. In the third quarter of 2014, we completed a comprehensive review of our claim reserves which included changes to our assumptions and methodologies primarily impacting claim terminations, most significantly in later-duration claims, and benefit utilization reflecting that claimants are staying on claim longer and utilizing more of their available benefits in aggregate than had previously been assumed in our reserve calculations. During the third quarter of 2014, we also recorded a $54 million unfavorable correction, net of reinsurance, related to a calculation of benefit utilization for policies with a benefit inflation option that did not recur. These decreases were partially offset by aging and growth of the in-force block, higher severity and frequency on new claims and unfavorable corrections of $20 million principally related to reinsurance and a return of premium benefit reserve in the current year.

 

    Our life insurance business decreased $45 million primarily related to favorable mortality in our universal and term life insurance products and the recapture of a reinsurance agreement in the prior year related to our term life insurance products that did not recur. These decreases were partially offset by a favorable unlocking of $23 million in our term universal and universal life insurance products related to mortality and interest assumptions in the prior year that did not recur and unfavorable mortality in our term universal life insurance product in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $34 million largely attributable to lower sales of our life-contingent products and lower interest credited on reserves, partially offset by unfavorable mortality in the current year.

Interest credited. The decrease was primarily related to our fixed annuities business driven by lower crediting rates and a decrease in average account values in the current year.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals

 

    Our long-term care insurance business increased $9 million largely from an unfavorable correction of $12 million related to premium taxes and growth of our in-force block, partially offset by lower marketing costs in the current year.

 

    Our life insurance business decreased $4 million largely from a decrease in commissions and lower production, partially offset by an unfavorable correction of $2 million related to premium taxes in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $2 million largely attributable to lower commissions driven by lower sales of our life-contingent products in the current year.

Table of Contents

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles. The increase was principally related to our life insurance business driven mostly by an impairment of DAC of $455 million as a result of loss recognition testing of certain term life insurance policies in the current year as part of a life block transaction, partially offset by an unfavorable unlocking of $12 million in our term universal and universal life insurance products related to mortality and interest assumptions in the prior year that did not recur.

Goodwill impairment

 

    We recorded a goodwill impairment of $200 million in our long-term care insurance business in the third quarter of 2014.

 

    We recorded a goodwill impairment of $350 million in our life insurance business in the third quarter of 2014.

Benefit for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 35.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 20.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to non-deductible goodwill impairments in the prior year.

Net operating income (loss)

 

    Our long-term care insurance business had net operating income of $10 million in the current year compared to a net operating loss of $309 million in the prior year largely as a result of a $345 million increase in claim reserves, net of reinsurance, in the prior year. During the third quarter of 2014, we also recorded a $35 million unfavorable correction, net of reinsurance, related to a calculation of benefit utilization for policies with a benefit inflation option that did not recur. The increase was also attributable to $14 million of higher premiums and reduced benefits in the current year from in-force rate actions approved and implemented. These increases were partially offset by net unfavorable adjustments of $10 million and net unfavorable corrections of $6 million in the current year.

 

    Our life insurance business increased $20 million principally from favorable mortality in our term and universal life insurance products in the current year. The increase was also attributable to $9 million of unfavorable charges recorded in the prior year that included the impact of the recapture of a reinsurance agreement, an incurred but not reported reserve correction and a deferred premium asset write-off that did not recur. These increases were partially offset by a net favorable unlocking of $8 million in our term universal and universal life insurance products in the prior year that did not recur and unfavorable mortality in our term universal life insurance products in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $2 million primarily related to lower investment income, partially offset by a decrease in reserves driven by lower account values and favorable mortality in the current year.

Revenues

Premiums

 

    Our long-term care insurance business increased $75 million largely from $65 million of higher premiums in the current year from in-force rate actions approved and implemented.

 

    Our life insurance business decreased $37 million primarily related to higher reinsurance, lapse experience and lower production in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $49 million principally from lower sales of our life-contingent products in the current year.

Net investment income

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $85 million largely from higher average invested assets due to growth of our in-force block, higher gains of $10 million from bond calls and mortgage loan prepayments and an $8 million unfavorable prepayment speed adjustment on structured securities

in the prior year that did not recur, partially offset by lower reinvestment yields and an $8 million favorable correction to investment amortization for preferred stock in the prior year that did not recur.

 

    Our life insurance business decreased $8 million largely from lower reinvestment yields, lower average invested assets and lower gains of $3 million from bond calls and mortgage loan prepayments, partially offset by $7 million of less unfavorable prepayment speed adjustments on structured securities in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $38 million largely due to lower reinvestment yields, lower average invested assets and lower gains of $7 million from limited partnerships in the current year.

Net investment gains (losses). For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

 

    Net investment gains in our long-term care insurance business increased $2 million largely from higher derivative gains, partially offset by net gains from the sale of investment securities in the prior year compared to net losses in the current year.

 

    In the current year, net investment losses of $2 million in our life insurance business were principally related to impairments, partially offset by net gains from the sale of investment securities. Net investment gains of $34 million in the prior year were primarily related to net gains from the sale of investment securities.

 

    Net investment losses in our fixed annuities business increased $22 million largely related to derivative losses in the current year compared to gains in the prior year, partially offset by gains on embedded derivatives related to our fixed indexed annuities in the current year compared to losses in the prior year. The increase was also attributable to higher net losses from the sale of investment securities in the current year.

Insurance and investment product fees and other. The increase was primarily attributable to our life insurance business largely related to our universal life insurance products driven by higher income from certain older in-force policies and a $4 million unfavorable correction in the prior year that did not recur. These increases were partially offset by lower production, a decrease in our term universal and universal life insurance in-force blocks and higher terminations in our term universal life insurance product in the current year.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

 

    Our long-term care insurance business decreased $341 million principally from a $531 million increase in claim reserves, net of reinsurance, in the prior year. In the third quarter of 2014, we completed a comprehensive review of our claim reserves which included changes to our assumptions and methodologies primarily impacting claim terminations, most significantly in later-duration claims, and benefit utilization reflecting that claimants are staying on claim longer and utilizing more of their available benefits in aggregate than had previously been assumed in our reserve calculations. During the third quarter of 2014, we also recorded a $54 million unfavorable correction, net of reinsurance, related to a calculation of benefit utilization for policies with a benefit inflation option that did not recur. These decreases were partially offset by aging and growth of the in-force block, higher severity and frequency on new claims, a less favorable impact of $38 million related to in-force rate actions approved and implemented, net unfavorable adjustments of $16 million predominantly reflecting a refinement to a reserve calculation on our acquired block of business and incremental reserves of $7 million recorded in connection with an accrual for profits followed by losses in the current year.

recur, higher ceded reinsurance and lower reserves on older in-force blocks in the current year. The decrease was also attributable to our universal life insurance products principally from favorable mortality in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by a favorable unlocking of $23 million in our term universal and universal life insurance products related to mortality and interest assumptions in the prior year that did not recur and unfavorable mortality in our term universal life insurance product in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $63 million predominantly attributable to lower sales of our life-contingent products, lower interest credited on reserves and favorable mortality in the current year.

Interest credited. The decrease was mainly related to our fixed annuities business driven by lower crediting rates and a decrease in average account values in the current year.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals

 

    Our long-term care insurance business increased $12 million from an unfavorable correction related to premium taxes in the current year.

 

    Our life insurance business increased $4 million largely from higher net commissions due to lower deferral rates on older in-force blocks and an unfavorable correction of $2 million related to premium taxes, partially offset by lower production in the current year.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles

 

    Our long-term care insurance business decreased $4 million largely related to the write-off of PVFP in connection with our annual loss recognition testing completed in the fourth quarter of 2014 which resulted in lower amortization in the current year.

 

    Our life insurance business increased $446 million largely from an impairment of DAC of $455 million as a result of loss recognition testing of certain term life insurance policies in the current year as part of a life block transaction and higher lapses in our term life insurance products. These increases were partially offset by an unfavorable unlocking of $12 million in our term universal and universal life insurance products related to mortality and interest assumptions in the prior year that did not recur.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $11 million largely attributable to higher net investment losses in the current year.

Goodwill impairment

 

    We recorded a goodwill impairment of $200 million in our long-term care insurance business in the third quarter of 2014.

 

    We recorded a goodwill impairment of $350 million in our life insurance business in the third quarter of 2014.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased driven by our life insurance business principally from the impact of credit rating downgrades of our life insurance subsidiaries which increased the cost of financing term life insurance reserves in the current year.

Benefit for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 35.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to non-deductible goodwill impairments recorded in the prior year.

Loss ratio

The loss ratio is the ratio of benefits and other changes in reserves less tabular interest on reserves less loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums.

Net earned premiums increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 mainly attributable to higher premiums of $25 million and $65 million, respectively, in the current year from in-force rate actions approved and implemented.

Annualized first-year premiums and deposits decreased principally from higher pricing on the product launched in 2014 and certain distributor suspensions driven by rating agency actions in the fourth quarter of 2014.

The loss ratio decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 principally from a $531 million increase in claim reserves, net of reinsurance, in the prior year. In the third quarter of 2014, we completed a comprehensive review of our claim reserves which included changes to our assumptions and methodologies primarily impacting claim terminations, most significantly in later-duration claims, and benefit utilization reflecting that claimants are staying on claim longer and utilizing more of their available benefits in aggregate than had previously been assumed in our reserve calculations. During the third quarter of 2014, we also recorded a $54 million unfavorable correction, net of reinsurance, related to a calculation of benefit utilization for policies with a benefit inflation option that did not recur. The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was also attributable to $28 million and $27 million, respectively, of higher premiums and reduced benefits in the current year from in-force rate actions approved and implemented. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, these decreases were partially offset by higher severity and frequency on new claims and unfavorable corrections of $20 million principally related to reinsurance and a return of premium benefit reserve in the current year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, these decreases were partially offset by higher severity and frequency on new claims, net unfavorable adjustments of $16 million predominantly reflecting a refinement to a reserve calculation on our acquired block of business and incremental reserves of $7 million recorded in connection with an accrual for profits followed by losses in the current year.

Term and whole life insurance

Net earned premiums decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to the recapture of a reinsurance agreement in the prior year that did not recur and higher reinsurance in the current year. The decrease in premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was predominantly related to higher reinsurance, lapse experience and lower production in the current year. Sales of our term life insurance products have decreased predominantly related to changes in the competitive marketplace in the current year. The decrease in life insurance in-force was principally related to a reinsurance transaction and higher lapses in the current year.

Universal life insurance

Net deposits decreased primarily related to the suspension of certain product sales following the rating agency actions in the fourth quarter of 2014. Our life insurance in-force decreased primarily from higher lapses of older issued policies and lower deposits in the current year.

Single Premium Deferred Annuities

Account value of our single premium deferred annuities decreased compared to June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 as surrenders and benefits outpaced deposits and interest credited and investment performance. Sales decreased from prior year primarily related to suspension of our products by distributors driven by the rating actions in the fourth quarter of 2014 and from pressured current market conditions and continued low interest rates.

Single Premium Immediate Annuities

Account value of our single premium immediate annuities decreased compared to June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 as surrenders and net unrealized investment losses exceeded premiums and deposits and interest credited. Sales declined primarily related to suspension of our products by distributors driven by the rating actions in the fourth quarter of 2014 and from pressured current market conditions and continued low interest rates.

We no longer solicit sales of structured settlements; however, we continue to service our existing block of business.

Valuation systems and processes

Our U.S. Life Insurance segment will continue to migrate to a new valuation and projection platform for certain lines of business, while we upgrade platforms for other lines of business. The migration and upgrades are part of our ongoing efforts to improve the infrastructure and capabilities of our information systems and our routine assessment and refinement of financial, actuarial, investment and risk management capabilities enterprise wide. These efforts will also provide our U.S. Life Insurance segment with improved platforms to support emerging accounting guidance and ongoing changes in capital regulations. Concurrently, valuation processes and methodologies will be reviewed. Any material changes in balances, margins or income trends that may result from these activities will be disclosed accordingly.

Net operating income (loss)

We had a net operating loss in the current year compared to net operating income in the prior year primarily driven by our variable annuity products largely from unfavorable equity market performance and impacts associated with our annual review of assumptions in the prior year that did not recur. The decrease was also attributable to unfavorable mortality related to our corporate-owned life insurance products, partially offset by higher tax benefits in the current year.

Revenues

Net investment losses decreased largely from higher derivative gains and higher net investment gains from the sale of investment securities, partially offset by higher losses on embedded derivatives associated with our variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWBs”) in the current year.

Insurance and investment product fees and other decreased mainly attributable to lower account values in our variable annuity products in the current year.

 

168


Table of Contents

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves increased primarily related to our corporate-owned life insurance products driven by unfavorable mortality and an increase in our GMDB reserves in our variable annuity products due to unfavorable equity market performance in the current year.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, decreased largely related to lower commissions as a result of the runoff of our variable annuity products in the current year.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles increased related to our variable annuity products principally from unfavorable equity market performance and impacts associated with our annual review of assumptions, which included a $7 million favorable unlocking in the prior year that did not recur.

Benefit for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 39.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 29.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to changes in tax favored investment benefits in relation to pre-tax results and changes in uncertain tax positions, partially offset by true ups in the prior year.

Net operating income

Net operating income decreased primarily driven by our variable annuity products largely from unfavorable equity market performance and unfavorable mortality in the current year.

Revenues

Net investment income increased primarily due to $5 million of higher gains from limited partnership in the current year.

Net investment losses decreased primarily related to lower losses on embedded derivatives associated with our variable annuity products with GMWBs in the current year. The decrease was also attributable to gains from the sale of investment securities in the current year compared to losses in the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by lower gains on derivatives in the current year.

Insurance and investment product fees and other decreased mainly attributable to lower account values in our variable annuity products in the current year.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves increased primarily attributable to unfavorable mortality and an increase in our GMDB reserves in our variable annuity products due to unfavorable equity market performance in the current year.

Interest credited increased largely related to higher cash values in our corporate-owned life insurance products in the current year.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, decreased largely related to lower commissions as a result of the runoff of our variable annuity products in the current year.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles increased related to our variable annuity products principally from impacts associated with our annual review of assumptions, which included a $7 million favorable unlocking in the prior year that did not recur, partially offset by unfavorable equity market performance in the current year.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 76.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to changes in tax favored investment benefits in relation to pre-tax income, true ups in the prior year and changes in valuation allowance in the prior year, partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions on tax favored investments in the prior year.

(1)  The Income Distribution Series products are comprised of our deferred and immediate variable annuity products, including those variable annuity products with rider options that provide guaranteed income benefits, including GMWBs and certain types of guaranteed annuitization benefits. These products do not include fixed single premium immediate annuities or deferred annuities, which may also serve income distribution needs.

Variable Annuities—Income Distribution Series

Account value related to our Income Distribution Series products decreased compared to June 30, 2015 primarily related to unfavorable equity market performance and surrenders in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in account value compared to December 31, 2014 was mainly attributable to surrenders and less favorable equity market performance in 2015. We no longer solicit sales of our variable annuities; however, we continue to service our existing block of business and accept additional deposits on existing contracts.

Traditional Variable Annuities

In our traditional variable annuities, the decrease in account value compared to June 30, 2015 related to unfavorable equity market performance and surrenders in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in account

Net operating loss

The net operating loss decreased as a result of higher tax benefits and investment income, partially offset by higher legal accruals and expenses of $17 million in the current year.

Revenues

Net investment income increased from affiliate preferred stock dividends of approximately $8 million that were previously included in the U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment in the current year.

Insurance and investment product fees and other increased attributable to losses in the prior year from non-functional currency transactions attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates related to intercompany transactions.

Benefits and expenses

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, increased mainly from higher legal accruals and expenses of $26 million in the current year.

Net operating loss

The net operating loss decreased primarily attributable to lower interest expense and higher investment income, partially offset by higher operating expenses and losses from non-functional currency transactions in the current year.

Revenues

Net investment income increased from affiliate preferred stock dividends of approximately $8 million that were previously included in the U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment in the current year.

Net investment gains in the current year were mainly from derivative gains, partially offset by net losses from the sale of investment securities and impairments. Net investment losses in the prior year were driven by derivative losses and impairments, partially offset by net gains from the sale of investment securities.

Insurance and investment product fees and other decreased mainly as a result of higher losses in the current year from non-functional currency transactions attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates related to intercompany transactions.

Table of Contents

Benefits and expenses

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, increased mainly from higher legal accruals and expenses of $30 million in the current year. This increase was partially offset by lower net expenses after allocations to our operating segments in the current year.

Interest expense decreased largely driven by the repayment of $485 million of senior notes in June 2014.

The increase in the income tax benefit was primarily attributable to additional tax expense required to offset tax benefits reported by the business segments in the prior year, prior year true ups related to lower taxed foreign income and increased tax benefits from uncertain tax positions, partially offset by state and federal true ups in the prior year.

Yields are based on net investment income as reported under U.S. GAAP and are consistent with how the company measures its investment performance for management purposes. Yields are annualized, for interim periods, and are calculated as net investment income as a percentage of average quarterly asset carrying values except for fixed maturity and equity securities, derivatives and derivative counterparty collateral, which exclude unrealized fair value adjustments and securities lending activity, which is included in other invested assets and is calculated net of the corresponding securities lending liability.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, annualized weighted-average investment yields remained unchanged from the prior year primarily attributable to a $19 million lower unfavorable prepayment speed adjustment on structured securities, partially offset by lower gains of $6 million related to limited partnerships, $5 million of lower gains related to bond calls and mortgage prepayments and lower yields on higher average invested assets in the current year. The three months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $13 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, annualized weighted-average investment yields decreased primarily attributable to lower reinvestment yields on higher average invested assets in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by an $18 million lower unfavorable prepayment speed adjustment on structured securities and higher gains of $9 million related to bond calls and mortgage prepayments in the current year. The nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a decrease of $30 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

securities as a result of certain banks being downgraded to below investment grade and $1 million related to structured securities.

 

    Net investment losses related to derivatives of $53 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 were primarily associated with hedging programs for our runoff variable annuity products, including decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from equity market fluctuation. We also had losses related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with assets held and losses related to a non-qualified derivative strategy to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our statutory capital position. These losses were partially offset by gains related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with expected dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries.

Net investment losses related to derivatives of $38 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily associated with hedging programs for our runoff variable annuity products, including decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from equity market fluctuation. We also had losses related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with assets held, as well as losses related to derivatives used to hedge our fixed indexed annuity product. These losses were partially offset by gains related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with expected dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries.

 

    We recorded $4 million of losses related to the sale of available-for-sale securities during the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $12 million of gains during the three months ended September 30, 2014. We recorded higher net gains of $8 million related to trading securities during the three months ended September 30, 2015 due to unrealized gains resulting from changes in the long-term interest rate environment in the current year.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

 

    We recorded $3 million of higher net other-than-temporary impairments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Of total impairments of $12 million recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, $6 million related to corporate securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we recorded impairments of $4 million and $3 million, respectively, related to commercial mortgage loans and $2 million and $1 million, respectively, related to structured securities. Impairments related to financial hybrid securities as a result of certain banks being downgraded to below investment grade were $4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

    Net investment losses related to derivatives of $79 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were primarily associated with hedging programs for our runoff variable annuity products, including decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from equity market fluctuation. We also had losses related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with assets held and losses related to fixed indexed annuity derivatives. These losses were partially offset by gains related to derivatives to hedge foreign currency risk associated with expected dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries.

Net investment losses related to derivatives of $66 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily associated with hedging programs for our runoff variable annuity products, including decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from equity market fluctuation. We also had losses related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with assets held and proceeds from the IPO of our Australian mortgage insurance business and losses related to a non-qualified derivative strategy to mitigate interest rate risk with our statutory capital positions. These losses were partially offset by gains related to hedge ineffectiveness from our cash flow hedge programs for our long-term care insurance business due to a decrease in long-term interest rates. We also had gains related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with expected dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries.

    We recorded $22 million of lower net gains related to trading securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulting from changes in the long-term interest rate environment. We recorded lower net gains of $6 million related to the sale of available-for-sale securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. We recorded $5 million of lower net gains related to securitization entities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily associated with lower gains on derivatives.

We hold fixed maturity, equity and trading securities, derivatives, embedded derivatives, securities held as collateral and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As of September 30, 2015, approximately 9% of our investment holdings recorded at fair value was based on significant inputs that were not market observable and were classified as Level 3 measurements. See note 6 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under “Item 1—Financial Statements” for additional information related to fair value.

Table of Contents

Fixed maturity securities decreased $425 million principally from lower net unrealized gains attributable to changes in interest rates as well as changes in foreign exchange rates from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by purchases exceeding sales and maturities in the current year.

The majority of our unrealized losses were related to securities held in our U.S. Life Insurance segment. Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment had gross unrealized losses of $25 million and $21 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Our exposure in peripheral European countries consists of fixed maturity securities in Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain. Investments in these countries are primarily made to support our international businesses and to diversify our U.S. corporate fixed maturity securities with European bonds denominated in U.S. dollars. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our exposure to the peripheral European countries increased by $228 million to $764 million with unrealized gains of $28 million. Our exposure as of September 30, 2015 was diversified with direct exposure to local economies of $193 million, indirect exposure through debt issued by subsidiaries outside of the European periphery of $104 million and exposure to multinational companies where the majority of revenues come from outside of the country of domicile of $467 million.

The increase in the notional value of derivatives was primarily attributable to an increase in our non-qualified interest rate swaps and increase in our forward bond commitments related to a non-qualified derivative strategy to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our statutory capital position.

The number of policies related to our GMWB embedded derivatives decreased as variable annuity products are no longer being offered. The number of policies related to our fixed index annuity and indexed universal life embedded derivatives increased as a result of product sales in the current year.

Consolidated Balance Sheets

Total assets. Total assets decreased $3,136 million from $111,358 million as of December 31, 2014 to $108,222 million as of September 30, 2015.

 

    Cash, cash equivalents and invested assets decreased $874 million primarily from a decrease of $1,050 million in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by an increase of $176 million in invested assets. Other invested assets increased $529 million from higher trading securities and short-term investments as a result of net purchases in the current year and an increase in derivatives driven by the changes in the long-term interest rate environment. Our fixed maturity securities decreased $425 million principally from lower net unrealized gains attributable to changes in interest rates as well as changes in foreign exchange rates from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the current year. These decreases were partially offset by purchases exceeding sales and maturities in the current year.

 

    Deferred acquisition costs decreased $412 million primarily attributable to an impairment of $455 million as a result of loss recognition testing of certain term life insurance policies in the current year as part of a life block transaction.

 

    Separate account assets decreased $1,315 million driven by surrenders and benefits as well as unfavorable market performance in the current year.

Total liabilities. Total liabilities decreased $1,755 million from $94,561 million as of December 31, 2014 to $92,806 million as of September 30, 2015.

 

    Future policy benefits increased $557 million primarily driven by an increase of $1,038 million in our long-term care insurance business largely from the aging and growth of the in-force block, partially offset by a decrease of $423 million in our fixed annuities business as surrenders and benefits exceeded deposits as a result of lower production in the current year.

 

    Liability for policy and contract claims increased $128 million primarily driven by an increase of $367 million in our long-term care insurance business largely as a result of aging and growth of the in-force block and higher severity and frequency of new claims in the current year. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $227 million in our U.S. mortgage insurance business principally from a decline in new delinquencies and favorable aging on existing delinquencies in the current year.

 

    Unearned premiums decreased $207 million primarily driven by our international mortgage insurance business largely attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year.

 

    Deferred tax liability decreased $657 million primarily from a decrease in unrealized net investment gains in the current year.

 

    Separate account liabilities decreased $1,315 million by surrenders and benefits as well as unfavorable market performance in the current year.

Total stockholders’ equity. Total stockholders’ equity decreased $1,381 million from $16,797 million as of December 31, 2014 to $15,416 million as of September 30, 2015.

 

    Additional paid-in capital decreased $53 million largely attributable to the additional sale of our shares of our Australian mortgage insurance business in May 2015, which reduced our ownership percentage from 66.2% to 52.0%.

 

    We reported a net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders of $323 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

    Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) decreased $968 million predominantly attributable to lower net unrealized investment gains mainly related to changes in the long-term interest rate environment in the current year. Foreign currency translation also decreased related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and capital resources represent our overall financial strength and our ability to generate cash flows from our businesses, borrow funds at competitive rates and raise new capital to meet our operating and growth needs.

Genworth and subsidiaries

The following table sets forth our unaudited condensed consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30:

Our principal sources of cash include sales of our products and services, income from our investment portfolio and proceeds from sales of investments. As an insurance business, we typically generate positive cash flows from operating activities, as premiums collected from our insurance products and income received from our investments exceed policy acquisition costs, benefits paid, redemptions and operating expenses. These positive cash flows are then invested to support the obligations of our insurance and investment products and required capital supporting these products. Our cash flows from operating activities are affected by the timing of premiums, fees and investment income received and benefits and expenses paid. Cash inflows from operating activities in the current year increased compared to the prior year primarily from lower tax payments and an increase in cash collateral received from counterparties primarily as a result of the change in derivatives in the current year, partially offset by purchases of trading securities in the current year compared to sales of trading securities in the prior year.

In analyzing our cash flow, we focus on the change in the amount of cash available and used in investing activities. Cash outflows from investing activities in the current year increased compared to the prior year from higher purchases, net of sales and maturities, of fixed maturity securities in the current year as well as net purchases of short-term investments in the current year compared to net maturities and sales of short-term investments in the prior year.

Changes in cash from financing activities primarily relate to the issuance of, and redemptions and benefit payments on, universal life insurance and investment contracts; the issuance and acquisition of debt and equity securities; the issuance and repayment or repurchase of borrowings and non-recourse funding obligations; and dividends to our stockholders and other capital transactions. We had cash outflows from financing activities in the current year compared to cash inflows in the prior year primarily from lower deposits to our investment contracts, partially offset by lower withdrawals from our investment contracts. In 2015, the proceeds from the sale of additional shares of our Australian mortgage insurance business in May 2015 were partially offset by higher cash dividends paid to noncontrolling interests related to our Australian mortgage insurance business. In 2014, the proceeds from the IPO of 33.8% of our Australian mortgage insurance business and the issuance of senior notes by Genworth Canada were mostly offset by the repayment of senior notes in that year.

In the United States and Canada, we engage in certain securities lending transactions for the purpose of enhancing the yield on our investment securities portfolio. We maintain effective control over all loaned securities and, therefore, continue to report such securities as fixed maturity securities on the consolidated balance sheets. We are currently indemnified against counterparty credit risk by the intermediary. See note 8 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under “Item 1—Financial Statements” for additional information related to our securities lending program.

We also have a repurchase program in which we sell an investment security at a specified price and agree to repurchase that security at another specified price at a later date. See note 8 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under “Item 1—Financial Statements” for additional information related to our repurchase program.

Genworth—holding company

Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings each acts as a holding company for their respective subsidiaries and do not have any significant operations of their own. Dividends from their respective subsidiaries, payments to them under tax sharing and expense reimbursement arrangements with their subsidiaries and proceeds from borrowings or securities issuances are their principal sources of cash to meet their obligations. Insurance laws and regulations regulate the payment of dividends and other distributions to Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings by their insurance subsidiaries. We expect dividends paid by the insurance subsidiaries will vary depending on strategic objectives, regulatory requirements and business performance.

The primary uses of funds at Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings include payment of holding company general operating expenses (including taxes), payment of principal, interest and other expenses on current and any future borrowings, payments under current and any future guarantees (including guarantees of certain subsidiary obligations), payment of amounts owed to GE under the Tax Matters Agreement, payments to subsidiaries (and, in the case of Genworth Holdings, to Genworth Financial) under tax sharing agreements, contributions to subsidiaries, repurchases of debt and equity securities and, in the case of Genworth Holdings, loans, dividends or other distributions to Genworth Financial. In deploying future capital, important current priorities include focusing on our operating businesses so they remain appropriately capitalized, and accelerating progress on reducing overall indebtedness. We may from time to time seek to repurchase or redeem outstanding notes for cash (with cash on hand, proceeds from the issuance of new debt and/or the proceeds from asset or stock sales) in open market purchases, tender offers, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. We currently seek to reduce our indebtedness over time through repurchases, redemptions and/or repayments at maturity.

Our Board of Directors has suspended the payment of dividends on our common stock indefinitely. The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent on many factors including the receipt of dividends from our operating subsidiaries, our financial condition and operating results, the capital requirements of our subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, our credit and financial strength ratings and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, our Board of Directors has suspended repurchases of our common stock under our stock repurchase program indefinitely. The resumption of our stock repurchase program will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Genworth Holdings had $733 million and $953 million of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents of Genworth Holdings included approximately $98 million of restricted cash. Genworth Holdings also held $250 million and $150 million in U.S. government securities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we received common stock dividends from our international subsidiaries of $446 million, of which $94 million was received in the third quarter of 2015. Dividends in the current year included $173 million of proceeds from the sale of additional shares in our Australian mortgage insurance business in May 2015 and approximately $50 million of the remaining proceeds were distributed to Genworth Holdings through payments made under tax sharing agreements in the third quarter of 2015. We also made capital contributions to one of our life subsidiaries of $25 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

In July 2015, Genworth Holdings purchased for approximately $200 million preferred securities of one of our life insurance subsidiaries that were previously held by our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries in order to

 

187


Table of Contents

assist those subsidiaries with their progress in complying with the final PMIERs by the effective date. Genworth Holdings received dividends of approximately $8 million from these preferred securities in the third quarter of 2015.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, Genworth Holdings repurchased $50 million aggregate principal amount of its senior notes for a pre-tax loss of $1 million and paid accrued and unpaid interest thereon. See note 9 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under “Item 1—Financial Statements” for additional information related to borrowings.

Regulated insurance subsidiaries

The liquidity requirements of our regulated insurance subsidiaries principally relate to the liabilities associated with their various insurance and investment products, operating costs and expenses, the payment of dividends to us, contributions to their subsidiaries, payment of principal and interest on their outstanding debt obligations and income taxes. Liabilities arising from insurance and investment products include the payment of benefits, as well as cash payments in connection with policy surrenders and withdrawals, policy loans and obligations to redeem funding agreements.

Our insurance subsidiaries have used cash flows from operations and investment activities to fund their liquidity requirements. Our insurance subsidiaries’ principal cash inflows from operating activities are derived from premiums, annuity deposits and insurance and investment product fees and other income, including commissions, cost of insurance, mortality, expense and surrender charges, contract underwriting fees, investment management fees and dividends and distributions from their subsidiaries. The principal cash inflows from investment activities result from repayments of principal, investment income and, as necessary, sales of invested assets.

Our insurance subsidiaries maintain investment strategies intended to provide adequate funds to pay benefits without forced sales of investments. Products having liabilities with longer durations, such as certain life insurance and long-term care insurance policies, are matched with investments having similar duration such as long-term fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans. Shorter-term liabilities are matched with fixed maturity securities that have short- and medium-term fixed maturities. In addition, our insurance subsidiaries hold highly liquid, high quality short-term investment securities and other liquid investment grade fixed maturity securities to fund anticipated operating expenses, surrenders and withdrawals. As of September 30, 2015, our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets were $75.9 billion. Our investments in privately placed fixed maturity securities, commercial mortgage loans, policy loans, limited partnership interests and select mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are relatively illiquid. These asset classes represented approximately 32% of the carrying value of our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets as of September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2015, our U.S. mortgage insurance business would be compliant with the PMIERs capital requirements, and would hold a reasonable amount in excess of these capital requirements, giving effect to: (i) two previously completed excess of loss reinsurance transactions with a panel of reinsurers, both effective July 1, 2015, that we expect will provide up to approximately $300 million of PMIERs credit as of December 31, 2015; (ii) a recently completed intercompany sale of the U.S. mortgage insurance business’ ownership interest in affiliated preferred securities for approximately $200 million; (iii) an internal corporate entity restructuring completed on October 1, 2015; and (iv) a reinsurance transaction covering our 2015 book year entered into with a panel of reinsurers which is pending GSE approval, which we expect will provide up to an additional $225 million of PMIERs capital credit as of December 31, 2015. In addition, we expect the estimated net proceeds of approximately $55 million from the sale of our European mortgage insurance business, announced on October 27, 2015, will provide additional PMIERs capital credit to our U.S. mortgage insurance business in 2016 upon closing. Our U.S. mortgage insurance business may execute future capital transactions to maintain a prudent level of financial flexibility in excess of the PMIERs capital requirements given the dynamic nature of asset and requirement valuations over time, including additional reinsurance transactions and contributions of holding company cash.

In July 2015, our indirect majority-owned subsidiary, Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Limited, issued AUD$200 million of subordinated floating rate notes due 2025 with an interest rate of three-month Bank Bill Swap reference rate plus a margin of 3.50%. Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Limited used the proceeds it received from this transaction to redeem AUD$90 million of its outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes and incurred a $2 million pre-tax early redemption payment.

In April 2015, Genworth Canada announced acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange of its Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”). Pursuant to the NCIB, Genworth Canada may purchase from time to time over the next 12 months, up to an aggregate of 4.7 million of its issued and outstanding common shares. In May 2015, Genworth Canada repurchased 1.4 million of its shares for CAD$50 million through the NCIB. We participated in the NCIB in order to maintain our overall ownership percentage at 57.3% and received $23 million in cash.

On October 30, 2015, Genworth Australia announced its intention to commence an on-market share buy-back program. Pursuant to the program, Genworth Australia may purchase its issued and outstanding ordinary shares up to a maximum aggregate value of AUD$150 million. We expect, as the majority shareholder, to engage in on-market sales transactions during the buy-back period to maintain our approximate ownership position of 52.0%, subject to matters including the prevailing market price of Genworth Australia’s shares during the buy-back, market trading volumes and applicable legal constraints.

Capital resources and financing activities

We believe existing cash held at Genworth Holdings combined with dividends from subsidiaries, payments under tax sharing and expense reimbursement arrangements with subsidiaries and proceeds from borrowings or securities issuances will provide us with sufficient capital flexibility and liquidity to meet our future operating requirements. We actively monitor our liquidity position, liquidity generation options and the credit markets given changing market conditions. We manage liquidity at Genworth Holdings to maintain a minimum balance one and one-half times expected annual debt interest payments plus the additional excess of $350 million, although the excess amount may be lower during the quarter due to the timing of cash inflows and outflows. We will evaluate the target level of the excess amount as circumstances warrant. We cannot predict with any certainty the impact to us from any future disruptions in the credit markets or the recent or any further downgrades by one or more of the rating agencies of the financial strength ratings of our insurance company subsidiaries and/or the credit ratings of our holding companies. The availability of additional funding will depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, regulatory considerations, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to the financial services industry, the level of activity and availability of reinsurance, our credit ratings and credit capacity and the performance of and outlook for our business.

Contractual obligations and commercial commitments

Except as described above, there have been no material additions or changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as set forth in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 2, 2015.

Securitization Entities

There were no off-balance sheet securitization transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

New Accounting Standards

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of the loss of fair value resulting from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. Market risk is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying financial instruments are traded. The following is a discussion of our market risk exposures and our risk management practices.

During the third quarter of 2015, credit spreads generally widened continuing the trend seen in the second quarter of 2015. In 2015, U.S. Treasury yields remained at historically low levels. See “—Business trends and conditions” and “—Investments and Derivative Instruments” in “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion of recent market conditions.

In the third quarter of 2015, the U.S. dollar strengthened against currencies in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as the Euro compared to the third quarter of 2014. Compared to the second quarter of 2015, the U.S. dollar also strengthened against currencies in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, but weakened slightly against the Euro. The overall strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the third quarter of 2015 generally resulted in lower levels of reported revenues and net income, assets, liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our U.S. dollar consolidated financial statements. See “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion on the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

There were no other material changes in our market risks since December 31, 2014.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2015, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective solely as a result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management has concluded that the material weakness that was present as of December 31, 2014 was also present as of September 30, 2015 because we have not completed testing of enough instances of the newly created and implemented enhanced control procedures in order to conclude on the operating effectiveness.

Previously Identified Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As previously disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we did not have adequate controls designed and in place to ensure that we correctly implemented changes made to one of our methodologies as part of our comprehensive long-term care insurance claim reserves review completed in the third quarter of 2014.

Remediation Status

We are currently working to remediate this material weakness and are executing on our detailed project plan for remediation. We have separated our actuarial team responsibilities to provide that one team develops and implements all significant assumption and methodology changes to our long-term care insurance claim reserves while another team determines the nature and scope of the review required as a result of the changes, and then executes the review process. In addition, we re-designed the “review control” over the implementation of assumption and methodology changes to our claim reserves. The re-designed control includes testing of our claim reserves calculation, on an individual claim basis, from the point at which the claim record is included in our policy administration system through the point at which the reserve is reported in our consolidated financial

 

190


Table of Contents

statements. These control enhancements are intended to ensure that assumption and methodology changes to our long-term care insurance claim reserves function as intended. We have tested the design of our changes to actuarial team responsibilities and the re-designed “review control” and believe the design is appropriate. We believe these measures will remediate the material weakness identified above and will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting for the calculation of our long-term care insurance claim reserves. We continue to test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the enhanced controls and plan to complete our testing before or in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. We will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable remedial controls operate effectively for a sufficient period of time.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting During the Quarter Ended September 30, 2015

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than the internal control changes described above.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See note 12 in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under “Part 1—Item 1— Financial Statements” for a description of material pending litigation and regulatory matters affecting us.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. Except as disclosed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the above-referenced filings as of September 30, 2015.

We may be unable to successfully develop and execute strategic plans to effectively address our current business challenges.

In connection with the release of our results for the fourth quarter of 2014, we announced that we had commenced a review of a broad range of strategic options to maximize long-term stockholder value. We continue to pursue our strategic options with a focus in three areas: (1) strengthening our long-term care insurance and mortgage insurance businesses, including generating and maintaining PMIERs capital credit; (2) simplifying our business structure and portfolio, including repatriating our BLAIC long-term care insurance business; and (3) increasing our financial strength and flexibility through separate initiatives such as selling blocks of business, reducing ownership of or selling businesses and a multi-step restructuring plan targeting annualized cash savings in excess of $100 million in early 2016 as well as reducing holding company debt levels over time. In addition, we announced the planned sale of our lifestyle protection insurance business, which had previously been designated as a non-core business for us, the sale of certain blocks of our term life insurance and the sale of our European mortgage insurance business. We reported a significant loss on the sale of our lifestyle protection insurance business given its book value prior to recording the anticipated sale. In addition, we reported an impairment of DAC as a result of loss recognition testing of certain term life insurance policies as part of the sale of certain blocks of our term life insurance. We cannot be sure we will be able to successfully develop and execute on any of our strategic plans to effectively address our current business challenges (including with respect to our long-term care insurance business, ratings and capital), including as a result of: (a) our inability to

 

191


Table of Contents

complete the planned sale of: (i) our lifestyle protection insurance business, (ii) certain blocks of our term life insurance or (iii) our European mortgage insurance business at all or on terms anticipated and failure to attract buyers for any other businesses or other assets we may seek to sell, or securities we may seek to issue (if any), in each case, in a timely manner on anticipated, or otherwise acceptable terms; (b) our inability to generate required capital; (c) our failure to obtain any required regulatory, stockholder and/or noteholder approvals or consents or anticipated credit or financial strength ratings; (d) our challenges changing or being more costly or difficult to successfully address than we currently anticipate or the benefits achieved being less than we anticipate; (e) our inability to successfully develop more targeted product features and benefits, strengthen relationships with producers or achieve anticipated cost-savings; and (f) adverse tax or accounting charges. The sale of our lifestyle protection insurance business, certain blocks of our term life insurance and our European mortgage insurance business remain subject to certain closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and we cannot predict with certainty whether or when these transactions will close or the impact that any purchase price adjustments, including any applicable foreign exchange fluctuations, will have on anticipated proceeds. In addition, even if we are successful in developing and executing our strategic plans, the execution of these plans may have expected or unexpected adverse consequences, including adverse rating actions and adverse tax and accounting charges (such as significant losses on sale of businesses or assets).

We may be unable to increase the capital needed in our businesses in a timely manner and on anticipated terms, including through improved business performance, reinsurance or similar transactions, asset sales, securities offerings or otherwise, in each case as and when required.

We have in the past provided, and currently expect to provide, additional capital to our businesses as necessary (and to the extent we determine it is appropriate to do so) to meet regulatory capital requirements, comply with rating agency requirements, provide capital and liquidity buffers for our businesses to operate and meet unexpected cash flow obligations. We may not be able to fund or raise the required capital as and when required and the amount of capital required may be higher than anticipated. Our inability to fund or raise the capital required in the anticipated timeframes and on the anticipated terms, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, including causing us to reduce our business levels or be subject to a variety of regulatory actions.

For example, we intend to further increase capital in our U.S. life insurance business over time in order to (i) address the reduction in capital resulting from the completion of a comprehensive review of our long-term care insurance claim reserves and (ii) enhance our financial strength and flexibility to maintain our commercial presence and provide for unforeseen events or developments. To increase capital in our U.S. life insurance business, we intend, among other things, at least over the near term, not to pay dividends from our life insurance subsidiaries to the holding company, pursue additional long-term care insurance rate actions, seek opportunities to reduce risk in older blocks of our long-term care insurance business, utilize reinsurance, pursue targeted smaller block transactions or other sales and significantly reduce expenses.

In addition, we intend to support the increased capital needs of our U.S. mortgage insurance business resulting from the final PMIERs. As of September 30, 2015, our U.S. mortgage insurance business would be compliant with the PMIERs capital requirements, and would hold a reasonable amount in excess of these capital requirements, giving effect to: (i) two previously completed excess of loss reinsurance transactions with a panel of reinsurers, both effective July 1, 2015, that we expect will provide up to approximately $300 million of PMIERs credit as of December 31, 2015; (ii) a recently completed intercompany sale of the U.S. mortgage insurance business’ ownership interest in affiliated preferred securities for approximately $200 million; (iii) an internal corporate entity restructuring completed on October 1, 2015; and (iv) a reinsurance transaction covering our 2015 book year entered into with a panel of reinsurers which is pending GSE approval, which we expect will provide up to an additional $225 million of PMIERs capital credit as of December 31, 2015. In addition, we expect the estimated net proceeds of approximately $55 million from the sale of our European mortgage insurance business, announced on October 27, 2015, will provide additional PMIERs capital credit to our U.S. mortgage insurance business in 2016 upon closing. Our U.S. mortgage insurance business may execute future

capital transactions to maintain a prudent level of financial flexibility in excess of the PMIERs capital requirements given the dynamic nature of asset and requirement valuations over time, including additional reinsurance transactions and contributions of holding company cash. The completion of our additional reinsurance transaction and the implementation of any further reinsurance transactions all depend on market conditions, third-party approvals or other actions (including approval by regulators and the GSEs), and other factors which are outside of our control, and therefore we cannot be sure we will be able to successfully implement these actions on the anticipated timetable and terms or at all, or achieve the anticipated benefits. For a discussion of risks related to our strategic plans, see “—We may be unable to successfully develop and execute strategic plans to effectively address our current business challenges.”

Although we do not currently intend to do so, if circumstances change we may decide to issue equity at Genworth Financial, which would be dilutive to our shareholders, or debt at Genworth Financial or Genworth Holdings (including debt convertible into equity of Genworth Financial), which would increase our leverage. The availability of any additional debt or equity funding will depend on a variety of factors, including, market conditions, regulatory considerations, the general availability of credit and particularly, to the financial services industry, our credit ratings and credit capacity and the performance of and outlook for our business. Market conditions may make it difficult to obtain funding or complete asset sales to generate additional liquidity, especially on short notice and when the demand for additional funding in the market is high. Our access to funding may be further impaired if our credit or financial strength ratings are negatively impacted.

     in connection with any transaction relating to the sale, transfer or other business combination involving some or all of the Target Group (as defined in the Sale Purchase Agreement) (the “Restrictions”).

 

3. The Restrictions shall not apply to restrict the ability of the Sellers (as defined in the Sale Purchase Agreement) to comply with their obligations set out in clauses 3 (Conditions Precedent), 4 (Pre-Completion Matters) (including Schedule 13) and 14 (Announcements and Confidentiality) of the Sale Purchase Agreement and paragraph 4 below.

2.1 Subject to the Conditions Precedent being satisfied and Schedule 13:

 

  (a) BLAIC shall sell and the Purchaser shall purchase, the BLAIC Sale Shares;

 

  (b) EGF shall sell and the Purchaser shall purchase, the EGF Sale Shares; and

 

  (c) Genworth shall sell, or procure the sale of, and the Purchaser shall purchase, the Genworth Sale Shares;

in each case, with all rights attaching to them and free from all Encumbrances and with full title guarantee.

 

2.2 The total consideration for the sale of the Sale Shares, the licenses granted to the Purchaser in the Transitional IP License Agreement and the covenants set forth herein shall be the Initial Consideration, as adjusted in accordance with this clause 2.

 

2.3 The initial consideration for the sale of the Sale Shares (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be payable on the Completion Date in accordance with clause 5 and shall be an amount equal to (a) EUR 475,000,000, plus (b) the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Stockholders Equity Amount exceeds the Accounts Stockholders Equity Amount, minus (c) the amount, if any, by which the Accounts Stockholders Equity Amount exceeds the Estimated Stockholders Equity Amount.

 

2.4 Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Completion Date, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser (a) the Estimated Balance Sheet in substantially the same form as the balance sheet included in the Unaudited Accounts adjusted as specified in Part II of the Agreed Accounting Principles, including a calculation of the Estimated Stockholders Equity Amount, and (b) a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Initial Consideration among the Sale Shares being sold by each of the Sellers.

 

2.5

Within ninety (90) calendar days following the Completion Date, the Purchaser shall deliver a consolidated balance sheet of the Target Group Companies as of the end of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month during which Completion occurs prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles and otherwise in substantially the same form as the balance sheets included in the Unaudited Accounts (the “Completion Balance Sheet”). If the Purchaser does not deliver the Completion Balance Sheet within such ninety (90) day time period, then, at the election of the Sellers,

 

-24-


  either (a) the Sellers may prepare and present the Completion Balance Sheet within an additional ninety (90) calendar days thereafter or (b) if the Sellers elect not to prepare the Completion Balance Sheet, then the Estimated Balance Sheet shall be deemed to be the Final Balance Sheet and the Estimated Stockholders Equity Amount shall be deemed to be the Final Stockholders Equity Amount. In the event that the Sellers elect to prepare the Completion Balance Sheet in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then all references in the remainder of this clause 2.5 and the entirety of clause 2.6 to the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, will be deemed to be references to the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, respectively. In connection with the Purchaser’s preparation of the Completion Balance Sheet, to the extent the Purchaser or its representatives do not have all relevant information in their possession, the Sellers shall, and shall use their reasonable endeavours to cause their representatives to, provide the Purchaser and its representatives access to all relevant books, records, work papers and employees of the Sellers, provided that the independent accountants of the Sellers will not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Purchaser unless and until the Purchaser has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent there is any difference between US GAAP and the principles, practices, methodologies and exceptions set forth in Part II of the Agreed Accounting Principles, the principles, practices, methodologies and exceptions set forth therein shall prevail. Consequently, the Estimated Balance Sheet, Completion Balance Sheet and Final Balance Sheet are to the extent set out in Part II of the Agreed Accounting Principles not intended to be a presentation in conformity with US GAAP.

 

2.6 The Completion Balance Sheet delivered to the Sellers by the Purchaser pursuant to clause 2.5 shall be final and binding unless the Sellers give the Purchaser written notice of their objections (an “Objection Notice”) within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of the Completion Balance Sheet prepared by the Purchaser (the “Review Period”). In connection with the Sellers’ review of the Completion Balance Sheet and potential preparation of an Objection Notice, the Purchaser shall, and shall use its reasonable endeavours to cause the Target Group Companies and its and their respective independent accountants to, provide the Sellers and their representatives access to all relevant books, records, work papers and employees of the Purchaser and the Target Group Companies for purposes thereof, provided that the independent accountants of the Purchaser will not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Sellers unless and until the Sellers have signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. If the Sellers fail to deliver to the Purchaser an Objection Notice on or prior to the expiration of the Review Period, or otherwise notify the Purchaser prior to such expiration date in writing that the Sellers have no objections to the calculation of the Completion Balance Sheet, then the calculation of the Completion Balance Sheet prepared by the Purchaser shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Sellers and shall become final and binding on all parties. Any component of the Completion Balance Sheet that is not the subject of an Objection Notice by the Sellers shall be final and binding on all parties.

 

-25-


The Purchaser and the Sellers shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to resolve any disputed items included in the Objection Notice; provided that if they are unable to do so within thirty (30) calendar days following the delivery of the Objection Notice, then by notice from either party to the other, the disagreement shall be submitted for resolution to the Independent Accountant. In any such submission pursuant to the preceding sentence, the amount proposed with respect to any disputed item shall not in the absence of manifest error in the Completion Balance Sheet or the Objections Notice be more favorable to (i) the Purchaser than the amount proposed by the Purchaser in the Completion Balance Sheet and (ii) the Sellers than the amount proposed by the Sellers in the Objection Notice. If a dispute is submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, Purchaser and the Sellers shall enter into a customary engagement letter with the Independent Accountant at the time such dispute is submitted to the Independent Accountant and shall, and the Purchaser shall cause the Target Group Companies and its and their respective independent accountants to, cooperate with the Independent Accountant in connection with its review and determination pursuant to this clause 2.6, including, in the case of the Purchaser, by providing, or using its reasonable endeavours to cause the Target Group Companies to provide, to the Independent Accountant and its representatives access to all relevant books, records, work papers and employees of the Purchaser and the Target Group Companies for purposes thereof, provided that the independent accountants of the Purchaser will not be obligated to make any work papers available to the Sellers unless and until the Sellers have signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

The Independent Accountant shall be directed to promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after its appointment, render its decision on the disputed items. The Independent Accountant’s review of the calculation of the Completion Balance Sheet shall be limited to a determination of whether it was prepared and calculated in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Accountant shall not review any items or make any determination with respect to any matters not subject to a dispute in the Objection Notice. The Independent Accountant’s determination as to each item in dispute shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to each party, which shall include the Independent Accountant’s determination as to the calculation of the Completion Stockholders Equity Amount, all of which shall be final and binding on all parties, save in the event of manifest error, in which case the Independent Accountant’s report shall be void and the matter shall be remitted to the Independent Accountant for correction. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to such item more favorable to the Sellers than the value for such item claimed by the Sellers in the Objection Notice, if any, or more favorable to the Purchaser than the value for such item claimed by the Purchaser in the Completion Balance Sheet. The aggregate fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated evenly between the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand. The final determinations of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this clause 2.6 shall be deemed expert determinations under English law governing expert determination and appraisal proceedings. Any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to the final determinations of the Independent Account pursuant to this clause 2.6, including enforcement of such final determinations, shall be resolved by the courts referenced in clause 21.

 

-26-


The consolidated balance sheet of the Companies prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles that is final and binding on the Sellers and the Purchaser as determined either through the agreement of the Sellers and the Purchaser pursuant to clause 2.5 or 2.6, as applicable, or through the determination of the Independent Accountant pursuant to this clause 2.6, is referred to herein as the “Final Balance Sheet.” The Stockholders Equity reflected in such Final Balance Sheet, multiplied by the USD to EUR Conversion Rate as of the end of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month during which Completion occurs, is referred to herein as the “Final Stockholders Equity Amount.”

 

2.7 The “Consideration Adjustment” will be calculated by the Purchaser and the Sellers within two (2) Business Days of determining the Final Stockholders Equity Amount as an adjustment to the Initial Consideration equal to the Final Stockholders Equity Amount minus the Estimated Stockholders Equity Amount. If the Consideration Adjustment is (i) positive, then the Purchaser shall pay in cash to the Sellers an amount equal to the Consideration Adjustment, or (ii) negative, then the Sellers shall pay in cash to the Purchaser an amount equal to the absolute value of the Consideration Adjustment, in each case, within two (2) Business Days after the Consideration Adjustment is determined. Unless otherwise instructed by the Sellers, the Purchaser shall pay to each Seller a portion of the Consideration Adjustment which bears the same proportion to the total Consideration Adjustment as such Seller’s share of the Initial Consideration as set forth in the Allocation Schedule bears to the total Initial Consideration.

 

2.8 The Consideration shall be paid in full in accordance with this clause 2 and clause 5 without any deduction or withholding and the Purchaser agrees that it shall not be entitled to assert any deduction, credit, set-off or counterclaim against the Sellers in order to justify withholding payment or satisfaction of any such amount in whole or in part.

 

3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

 

3.1 The sale and purchase of the Sale Shares is subject to, and Completion is conditional on, the satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions Precedent.

 

3.2 The Sellers and the Purchaser agree to cooperate in the preparation of the notifications required for the purposes of fulfilling the Purchaser’s Condition.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this clause 3.3 in the event that it is unable to satisfy the Purchaser’s Condition promptly or at all due to the Sellers’ failure to comply with its cooperation obligations under clauses 3.2 and 3.6. The Sellers shall use best endeavours to procure that the Sellers’ Condition is satisfied as promptly as practicable and, in any event, before the Long Stop Date.

 

3.4 The party responsible for satisfaction of each Condition Precedent shall keep the other party regularly informed of, and shall consult with the other party regarding, the progress of satisfying the relevant Condition Precedent and shall immediately inform the other party of all developments which would or might reasonably be expected to result in the relevant party becoming unable to comply with, or satisfy in any respect, the Condition Precedent for which it is responsible.

  (c) promptly provide the Sellers with copies of all material correspondence received from the Relevant Authorities in relation to the Transaction; and

 

  (d) provide the Sellers with sufficient opportunity to review and comment on, and include all reasonable comments provided by the Sellers on, all such material communications, correspondence and documents addressed to or provided to the Relevant Authorities in relation to the Transaction,

 

-28-


provided that nothing in this clause 3.5 shall oblige the Purchaser to disclose commercially sensitive information to the Sellers or allow the Sellers access to commercially sensitive discussions with any Relevant Authority.

 

3.6 Subject to Applicable Law, any duty of confidentiality owed to any third party and any such information being privileged, the Sellers shall, with respect to the satisfaction of the Purchaser’s Condition:

 

  (a) co-operate with the Purchaser as may reasonably be required for the purpose of satisfying the Purchaser’s Condition;

 

  (b) provide to the Purchaser all necessary information and documents regarding the Target Group as may be reasonably required by the Purchaser; and

 

  (c) provide such assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser in respect of the satisfaction of the Purchaser’s Condition.

 

3.7 The party responsible for satisfaction of the Condition Precedent shall notify the other party promptly in writing as soon as the Condition Precedent for which it is responsible is satisfied.

 

3.8 If the Purchaser’s Condition is not satisfied on or before the Long Stop Date, the Sellers or the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to the other parties hereto and, provided that the Purchaser has complied with all of its obligations under clause 3.3 and 3.4, except for this subclause, clauses 1 and 14 - 22, all the provisions of this Agreement shall lapse and cease to have effect.

 

3.9 If the Sellers’ Condition is not satisfied on or before the Long Stop Date, the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to the Sellers and except for this subclause, clauses 1 and 14 - 22, all the provisions of this Agreement shall lapse and cease to have effect.

 

3.10 Save as specifically set out in clause 3.8 and clause 3.9, neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser shall be entitled in any circumstances to rescind or terminate this Agreement before Completion.

 

3.11 Subject to clause 3.8 and clause 3.9, each party’s further rights and obligations cease immediately on termination, but termination does not affect a party’s accrued rights and obligations in respect of damages for non-performance of any obligation under this Agreement falling due for performance prior to the date of termination.

 

4. PRE-COMPLETION MATTERS

 

4.1 Until Completion, each Seller shall to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and to the extent the relevant Seller is able to control the relevant Target Group Company:

  (a) give to the Purchaser and its advisers, upon reasonable advance written notice and during regular business hours, reasonable access to the books, records, personnel, officers and properties of the Target Group including for the purposes of satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent, provided that any such access shall be conducted at the Purchaser’s expense, in accordance with Applicable Law and any internal data protection policy of the Target Group and the Sellers’ Group, under the supervision of the personnel of a member of the Sellers’ Group or a member of the Target Group and in such a manner as to retain confidentiality and not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Target Group, the Sellers or the Sellers’ Group; and

 

  (b) reasonably inform the Purchaser of:

 

  (i) all matters which are referred for decision to the boards of directors (and committees and sub-committees thereof) of the Target Group Companies; and

4.4 Nothing in clause 4.3 shall require the Sellers to make available to the Purchaser or its advisers, or provide the Purchaser or its advisers with:

 

  (a) access to or copies of any personnel file or related records of any Employee; or

 

-30-


  (b) any other information if the Sellers determine, in their reasonable judgment, that making such information available would:

  (ii) contravene any Applicable Law, court order, regulatory agreement, any internal data protection policy of the Target Group and the Sellers’ Group or any fiduciary duty or agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which the Target Group or any member of the Sellers’ Group is a party).

 

4.5 Following the Offer Date and prior to Completion, the Sellers shall (and shall procure that the relevant members of the Target Group shall) respectively use reasonable endeavours (or in the case of any matter in Schedule 13 which is a Sellers’ Condition, best endeavours) to ensure the completion of the actions set out in Schedule 13. Upon completion of any action set out in Schedule 13, this Agreement shall be read as if such action had been completed, and no such action shall result in (a) any Fundamental Warranty being untrue or (b) the breach of any covenant or other agreement set out in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall undertake the actions set out in paragraphs 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 of Schedule 13 at their own cost.

-47-


10.4 Clauses 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 shall apply as if none of the Sellers’ Individual Warranties or Warranties, other than those set out in paragraphs 2.5 and 4 of Schedule 4 relates in any way to Taxation.

10.6 If, for any reason, the Sellers have not completed the actions contemplated under paragraph 5(a) of Schedule 13 relating to the wind down and transfer of Genworth Seguros Danos, S.A. de C.V. and wind down of Genworth Seguros Vida, S.A. de C.V. by the Completion Date, the Sellers agree to continue to use their best endeavours to carry out such actions after the Completion Date and (other than in regard to costs, expenses or liabilities in connection with the Trust Administrative Services Agreements or Company Administrative Services Agreements which are covered in those agreements), to indemnify the Purchaser against all costs or losses incurred by any member of the Purchaser’s Group or Target Group in connection therewith until the wind down and transfer of Genworth Seguros Danos, S.A. de C.V. and wind down of Genworth Seguros Vida, S.A. de C.V as contemplated under paragraph 5(a) of Schedule 13 has been completed.

 

10.7 The Sellers hereby covenant to the Purchaser and each Target Group Company that they will pay to the Purchaser or such Target Group Company an amount equal to the amount of:

 

  (a) all PPI Distributor Mis-selling Losses, save to the extent that a Target Group Company receives payment from a PPI Distributor in respect of such PPI Distributor Mis-selling Losses;

 

  (b) any Complaints-Handling Losses, save to the extent that the Purchaser has recovered such Complaints-Handling Losses against the Relevant Distributor under the Relevant Distributor Agreement, having used its reasonable endeavours to pursue a claim thereunder;

 

  (c) any costs, claims, damages or expenses or any other losses incurred by a Target Group Company which arise out of or directly relate to a failure by such Target Group Company or its employees or agents prior to Completion to comply with any Data Protection Laws; and

  (a) ninety percent (90%) of all Relevant Distributor Mis-selling Losses; and

 

  (b) ninety percent (90%) of the amount of all costs, claims, damages, expenses or any other losses incurred by the Purchaser or a Target Group Company after Completion resulting from the Relevant Distributor Dispute or settlement thereof including any such losses incurred pursuant to any Action which arises from such Relevant Distributor Dispute, but excluding, after the First Termination Date, the amount of all such losses resulting from a dispute described in clause (a) of the definition of “Relevant Distributor Dispute”,

such obligation to continue in the case of clause 10.8(a) until the date (the “First Termination Date”) on which the relevant Target Group Company and the Relevant Distributor enter into the Relevant Distributor Agreement, and in the case of clause 10.8(b) until the date (the “Second Termination Date”) on which both the Relevant Distributor Agreement has been entered into and the relevant Target Group Company has entered into an administration agreement with the Relevant Third Party in respect of the administration of Insurance Contracts distributed by the Relevant Distributor. The form of the Relevant Distributor Agreement and the administration agreement with the Relevant Third Party will in each case be subject to the prior approval of the Purchaser prior to Completion and the prior approval of the Sellers following Completion (in each case, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and in the case of the Relevant Distributor Agreement will be substantially in the Agreed Form. Prior to Completion the Sellers shall and shall cause the Target Group Companies to use reasonable endeavours, and following Completion the Purchaser shall and shall cause the Target Group Companies to use reasonable endeavours, to procure the execution and delivery of the Relevant Distributor Agreement and the administration agreement with the Relevant Third Party. Within thirty (30) Business Days of each of the First Termination Date and the Second Termination Date the Purchaser will issue a final demand in respect of all accrued and unpaid obligations of the Sellers under clause 10.8(a) or, as applicable, (b) and upon payment of such demand the Sellers shall be released from their obligations under this clause 10.8; provided, however, if each of the First Termination Date and Second Termination Date shall occur prior to Completion, no such demand shall be required and the Sellers shall have no liability whatsoever under this clause 10.8.

 

10.9 The parties agree as follows:

 

  (a) The Purchaser (or, prior to Completion, the Sellers) shall procure that the Target Group Companies establish and maintain the Applicable Account for the period commencing on 1 January 2014 and ending on the Final Calculation Date (the “Calculation Period”);

 

-49-


  (b) The Purchaser shall provide the Sellers with a copy of the current position shown by the Applicable Account calculated as of 30 June 2016 and semi-annually as of each 31 December and 30 June thereafter until the Final Calculation Date, within forty five (45) days of each such date, as well as such additional supporting information with respect to the entries shown on the Applicable Account as the Sellers may reasonably request within fifteen (15) days of any such request;

 

  (c)

The Purchaser and Sellers shall jointly agree, within thirty (30) Business Days after the Final Calculation Date, to appoint an actuary independent of each of the Purchaser and Sellers (the “Independent Actuary”) reasonably acceptable to each of the Purchaser and the Sellers, with relevant French market experience and expertise with respect to the risks covered by the Applicable Business to calculate a final settlement amount equal to the Final Underwriting Profit Less Agreed Amount and to set out in a report the Final Underwriting Profit Less Agreed Amount so calculated as well as the methodology and assumptions used to carry out such calculation (the “Settlement Report”). If the parties cannot agree on the identity of the Independent Actuary, each party shall nominate an actuary independent of such nominating party, and those nominated actuaries will agree on the identity of the Independent Actuary, which shall not be either actuary nominated by a party. For the purposes of preparing the Settlement Report, the Independent Actuary shall apply the methodology set out in Part II of Schedule 18 and such other methodology and assumptions as the Independent Actuary considers appropriate for determining the third component of the Final Underwriting Profit Less Agreed Amount and shall determine the second component of the Final Underwriting Profit Less Agreed Amount following a review of calculations thereof certified by the relevant Insurance Company’s chief financial officer (but not deviating from the basis of calculating the Applicable Account provided for herein) and applicable supporting materials, all of which certificates and materials shall be provided by Purchaser to the Sellers and representatives specified by the Sellers at the time of delivery to the Independent Actuary. The Final Underwriting Profit Less Agreed Amount as set out in the Settlement Report shall be final and binding on the parties unless the Sellers or the Purchaser provide(s) to the other(s) written notice of their objection to the calculation of the Final Underwriting Profit Less Agreed Amount (a “Settlement Objection Notice”) within forty-five (45) Business Days after receipt of the Settlement Report (which Settlement Objection Notice may refer to the calculation of either the second or the third component of the Final Underwriting Profit Less Agreed Amount). Within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of a Settlement Objection Notice, the Sellers and Purchaser shall agree the appointment of an expert independent of each of the Purchaser and Sellers with relevant actuarial experience and expertise in the French insurance market and with respect to the risks covered by the Applicable Business (the “French Expert”), who shall be directed to promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after his appointment, render his decision on the objected items. In the absence of agreement between the parties, the French Expert shall be appointed by the President of the French “Institut des Actuaires” at the request of either party (who shall be independent of both the Purchaser and Sellers and

 

-50-


  shall have relevant French market experience and expertise with respect to the risks covered by the Applicable Business); provided, however, if the President of the French “Institut des Actuaires” is not independent of both the Purchaser and the Sellers, the French Expert shall be appointed by the next most senior officer of the “Institut des Actuaires” that is independent of both the Purchaser and the Sellers. For the avoidance of doubt, the French Expert shall not review any items or make any determination with respect to any matters not identified as being subject to a dispute in the Settlement Objection Notice and shall take account of the methodology set out in Part II of Schedule 18. The French Expert’s determination as to each objected item shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to each party and shall be final and binding on all parties, save in the event of manifest error, in which case the matter shall be remitted to the French Expert for correction. The aggregate fees and expenses of the Independent Actuary and, if required, the French Expert shall be shared equally between the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand. Each of the Purchaser and the Sellers shall be permitted to make presentations to the French Expert within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the French Expert. The final determinations of the French Expert pursuant to this clause 10.9(c) shall be deemed an expert determination under English law governing expert determination and appraisal proceedings. Any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to the final determination of the French Expert pursuant to this clause 10.9(c), including enforcement of such final determination, shall be resolved by the courts referenced in clause 21.

 

  (d) If the Final Underwriting Profit Less Agreed Amount is:

 

  (i) greater than zero, then the Purchaser shall pay to Sellers an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Final Underwriting Profit Less Agreed Amount and (2) EUR 10,000,000; and

 

  (ii) less than zero (an “Underwriting Loss”), then Sellers shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to (1) ninety percent (90%) of the first EUR 10,000,000 of such Underwriting Loss plus (2) if the Underwriting Loss is greater than EUR 10,000,000, the Relevant Proportion of such excess.

 

  (e) Any payment required by this clause 10.9 shall be made to the account or accounts previously provided to the Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, for purposes thereof, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the final agreement or determination of the Final Underwriting Profit Less Agreed Amount in accordance with this clause 10.9.

 

  (f) Following payment of the required amount under clause 10.9(d) neither the Purchaser nor the Sellers shall be liable to pay any sum to the other(s) with respect to the Applicable Business or otherwise under this clause 10.9.

 

10.10

The Sellers’ and the Purchaser’s respective liability in respect of the Warranties, the Clause 10.7 Covenants and the Tax Covenant shall be subject to the limitations and other

 

-51-


  provisions set out in Schedule 5 and the Tax Covenant. Nothing in Schedule 5 or the Tax Covenant limits or excludes any liability for fraud. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in Schedule 5, the limitations in Schedule 5 shall not apply to the covenants set out in clauses 10.8 or 10.9 above.

 

10.11 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Sellers hereby agree and acknowledge, in the event that any action, fact or circumstance, or series of similar actions, facts or circumstances, could give rise to a claim by the Purchaser under more than one provision of this clause 10, the Purchaser shall not be permitted to bring a claim and seek recovery against the Sellers under both (i) a Warranty Claim; and (ii) a Clause 10.7 Covenant Claim or a claim under clauses 10.5, 10.6, 10.8 or 10.9 in respect of the same loss. If an action, fact or circumstance, or series of similar actions, facts or circumstances, exists that would allow the Purchaser to bring a Warranty Claim and/or a Clause 10.7 Covenant Claim or a claim under clause 10.8, the Purchaser shall only be permitted to bring a Warranty Claim, a Clause 10.7 Covenant Claim or a claim under clause 10.8 in relation to the same action, fact or circumstance, or series of similar actions, facts or circumstances.

 

11. ACTUARIAL MATTERS

 

11.1 The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees with the Sellers that the Purchaser is responsible for assessing the extent to which it requires appropriate independent actuarial advice relating to the purchase of the Target Group and the terms of this Agreement.

 

11.2 None of the Sellers’ Individual Warranties, the Warranties nor any other provision of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed as a representation or warranty as to:

 

  (a) the accuracy of any forecasts, assumptions, estimates or projections contained in any actuarial information provided to the Purchaser;

 

  (b) the adequacy or sufficiency of the Reserves of the Insurance Companies; or

 

  (c) save as expressly provided for in paragraph 3.2 of Schedule 4, whether or not such Reserves were determined in accordance with any actuarial, legal or other standard.

Furthermore, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no fact, condition, development or issue relating to adequacy or sufficiency of the Reserves may be used, directly or indirectly, to demonstrate or support the breach of any Sellers’ Individual Warranties or Warranties.

18.2 The relevant account for a given payment is, if that payment is to the Sellers, such account(s) in the name of the relevant Seller or Sellers as the Sellers shall, not less than three (3) Business Days before the date that payment is due, have specified by giving written notice to the Purchaser for the purpose of that payment and, if that payment is to the Purchaser, such account in the name of the Purchaser as the Purchaser shall, not less than three (3) Business Days before the date that payment is due, have specified by giving written notice to the Sellers for the purpose of that payment.

 

18.3 If a party defaults in making any payment when due of any sum payable under this Agreement it shall pay interest on that sum from (and including) the date on which payment is due until (but excluding) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at an annual rate of 5 per cent. per annum above the three (3) month LIBOR rate in effect on the date on which such payment was due, as reported in the Wall Street Journal, which interest shall accrue from day to day and be compounded monthly.

 

-60-


18.4 If a party is required by law to make a deduction or withholding in respect of any sum (other than the Consideration, except where such deduction or withholding is an obligation arising under or in connection with French Tax law) payable under this Agreement, that party shall, at the same time as the sum which is the subject of the deduction or withholding is payable, make a payment to the relevant party of such additional amount as shall be required to ensure that the net amount received or retained by that relevant party will equal the full amount which would have been received or retained by it had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

 

18.5 If any sum payable by a party under this Agreement (other than the Consideration or interest under clause 18.3) shall be subject to Taxation in the hands of the receiving party, the paying party shall be under the same obligation, as under clause 18.4 above, to pay an additional amount in relation to that Taxation as if the liability were a deduction of withholding required by law.

 

18.6 To the extent that any deduction, withholding or Tax in respect of which an additional amount has been paid under clauses 18.4 or 18.5 above results in the payee obtaining a Relief (as defined in the Tax Covenant) (all reasonable endeavours having been used to obtain such Relief), the payee shall pay to the payer, within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining the benefit of the Relief, an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of the actual cash Tax saving from the utilisation of such Relief obtained and the additional sum paid under clause 18.4 or 18.5 (the “Withholding Relief”). The payee shall only be obliged to account to payer for the Withholding Relief to the extent that the payer is satisfied that such accounting will not: (a) prejudice any of the entitlement of the payee to the relief; nor (b) result in the loss, reduction or non-availability of the actual cash Tax saving obtained by the payee from the utilisation of such Relief.

 

18.7 If an assignment is made in accordance with clause 17 of this Agreement, the liability of the payer under clauses 18.4 and 18.5 above shall be no greater than such liabilities would have been if the assignment had not occurred.

 

18.8 Any amount to be converted from one currency into another currency for the purposes of this Agreement (other than the Consideration or interest under clause 18.3) shall be converted into an equivalent amount at the Conversion Rate prevailing at the Applicable Date.

 

18.9 Where any payment is due to the Sellers under this Agreement, the Sellers shall be entitled to direct (by written notice signed by Genworth) the Purchaser to make such payment to such Seller or Sellers or such other entity as may otherwise be agreed with the Purchaser, and in such amount or amounts, as the Sellers may (in their sole discretion) require and any payment made in accordance with such direction shall satisfy the Purchasers’ obligations hereunder with respect to such amount against all of the Sellers.

 

19. GENERAL

 

19.1 The receipt by the Purchaser’s Solicitors of any document to be delivered at Completion to the Purchaser shall discharge the Sellers’ obligation to deliver it to the Purchaser.

 

-61-


19.2 The receipt by the Sellers’ Solicitors of any document to be delivered at Completion to the Seller shall discharge the Purchaser’s obligation to deliver it to the Seller.

 

19.3 Each of the obligations, warranties and undertakings set out in this Agreement (excluding any obligation which is fully performed at Completion) shall continue in force after Completion and shall not be affected by the waiver of any condition or any notice given by the Purchaser in respect of any condition.

 

19.4 The provisions contained in each clause and subclause of this Agreement shall be enforceable independently of each of the others and their validity shall not be affected if any of the others are invalid. If any of those provisions is void but would be valid if some part of the provision were deleted, the provision in question shall apply with such modification as may be necessary to make it valid.

 

19.5 All of the warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement until the expiry of the period for making claims for breach of such warranties under this Agreement (at which time such warranties shall terminate). Any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall survive for the period provided in such covenant or agreement, if any, or, otherwise, until fully performed.

 

19.6 Time is not of the essence in relation to any obligation under this Agreement unless:

 

  (a) time is expressly stated to be of the essence in relation to that obligation; or

 

  (b) one party fails to perform an obligation by the time specified in this Agreement and another party/the other party serves a notice on the defaulting party requiring it to perform the obligation by a specified time and stating that time is of the essence in relation to that obligation.

 

19.7 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each party shall pay the costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the entering into and completion of this Agreement.

 

19.8 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement, and any party (including any duly authorised representative of a party) may enter into this Agreement by executing a counterpart.

 

19.9 The rights of each party under this Agreement:

 

  (a) may be exercised as often as necessary;

 

  (b) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, are cumulative and not exclusive of rights and remedies provided by law; and

 

  (c) may be waived only in writing and specifically.

 

-62-


Delay in exercising or non exercise of any such right is not a waiver of that right.

 

19.10 Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, a person who is not a party to this Agreement may not enforce any of its terms under the UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

 

19.11 A variation of this Agreement is valid only if it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of each party. The parties to this Agreement do not require the consent of any person having a right under the UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to rescind or vary this Agreement.

 

20. WHOLE AGREEMENT

 

20.1 This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the whole agreement between the parties relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and supersede all previous agreements, whether oral or in writing, between the parties relating to these transactions, provided that, the confidentiality agreement between the Sellers’ Guarantor and the Purchaser dated 9 February 2015 shall remain in full force and effect to the extent required under clause 14.7 above. Except as required by statute, no terms shall be implied (whether by custom, usage or otherwise) into this Agreement.

 

20.2 Each party:

 

  (a) acknowledges that in agreeing to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents it has not relied on any express or implied representation, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance made by or on behalf of any other party before the entering into of this Agreement which is not set out in the Irrevocable Offer or this Agreement;

 

  (b) waives all rights and remedies which, but for this clause 20.2, might otherwise be available to it in respect of any such express or implied representation, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance; and

 

  (c) acknowledges and agrees that no such express or implied representation, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance may form the basis of, or be pleaded in connection with, any claim made by it under or in connection with this Agreement which is not set out in the Transaction Documents.

 

20.3 The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that unless otherwise expressly set out in this Agreement its sole remedy for any Claim shall be damages, and any and all additional remedies which may otherwise be available to the Purchaser are hereby excluded to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 

20.4 Nothing in this clause limits or excludes any liability for fraud.

 

-63-

21.8 Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by it and for any counterclaim therein (in each case whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise). Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, amongst other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this clause.

  (c) to the extent that there is any remaining excess, the amount shall be carried forward to set against future claims under this Schedule or under a Tax Warranty.

 

4.3 Either the Sellers or the Purchaser may, at their own expense, require any certificate produced in accordance with paragraph 4.1 above to be reviewed by the auditors for the time being of a Target Group Company in the event that there are relevant circumstances or facts of which it was not aware, and which were not taken into account, at the time when such certificate was produced, and to certify whether the certificate remains correct or whether it should be amended.

 

4.4 If following a request under paragraph 4.1 the certificate is amended, the revised amount of the Overprovision shall be substituted for the purposes of paragraph 4.2, and any adjusting payment that is required shall be made forthwith.

 

4.5 For the purposes of this paragraph, any Overprovision shall be determined without regard to any Tax Refund to which paragraph 7 applies or any payment or Relief to which paragraph 11 applies.

 

5. COSTS AND EXPENSES

The covenant contained in paragraph 2.1 of this Schedule shall extend to all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably and properly incurred by the Purchaser in connection with a successful claim made under this Schedule.

 

6. DOUBLE RECOVERY

The Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover any amount pursuant to this Schedule in respect of any claim to the extent that the Purchaser or a Target Group Company has already recovered any amount in respect of such claim under the Warranties or under any

 

-123-


other provision of this Agreement or pursuant to any other agreement with the Sellers or any Target Group Company connected with either Seller, or to the extent that recovery has already been made under this Agreement in respect of the same subject matter.

 

7. TAX REFUNDS

 

7.1 The Purchaser shall notify the Sellers as soon as possible of any right to receive or actual receipt of any amount by way of repayment of Tax or interest on overpaid Tax or repayment supplement, being an amount to which a Target Group Company is or becomes entitled or receives (other than any right to receive or actual receipt of such amount to the extent it arises in respect of the use or set-off by a Target Group Company or a Purchaser’s Group Company of any Excess E) at any time up to the date which is one (1) month after the date on which the Purchaser Tax Claim Period expires in respect of an Event occurring or period (or part period) prior to Completion where (or to the extent that) such amount was not included in the Final Balance Sheet as an asset, does not arise from the use of a Purchaser’s Relief and is not a payment or Relief to which paragraph 11 below applies (a “Tax Refund”). The Purchaser shall take (or shall procure that the relevant Target Group Company takes) such action as the Sellers may reasonably request to obtain such Tax Refund (keeping the Sellers fully informed of the progress of any action taken and providing them with copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation).

 

7.2 Any Tax Refund actually obtained after Completion, whether by repayment or set off (less any reasonable costs of obtaining such Tax Refund) shall be dealt with as follows:

 

  (a) the amount of the Tax Refund shall be set against any payment then due from the Sellers under this Schedule or for breach of a Tax Warranty;

 

  (b) to the extent that there is an excess, a payment shall promptly be made to the Sellers equal to the aggregate of any payment or payments previously made by the Sellers under this Schedule or for breach of a Tax Warranty up to the amount of such excess; and

 

  (c) to the extent that there is any remaining excess, the amount shall be carried forward to set against any future claims under this Schedule or for breach of a Tax Warranty.

 

7.3 Paragraph 11.6 shall apply in respect of any sum payable to the Sellers under this paragraph 7 which is not paid within 5 Business Days of the relevant Tax Refund being obtained by the relevant Target Group Company (the “Tax Due Date”) as it applies to any sum not paid by the Purchaser on the due date of payment specified in paragraph 11.4.

 

8. SECONDARY LIABILITIES

 

8.1 The Purchaser covenants with the Sellers to pay to the Sellers an amount equivalent to any Tax or any amount on account of Tax which any member of the Sellers’ Group is required to pay in respect of, by reference to or in consequence of a failure by a Target Group Company, or any person connected with a Target Group Company, to discharge that Tax.

 

-124-


8.2 The Purchaser further covenants with the Sellers to pay to the Sellers an amount equivalent to any Tax which any member of the Sellers’ Group is required to pay as a result of any action taken in breach of paragraphs 12.4(c) or 13.9.

 

8.3 The covenants contained in paragraphs 8.1 and 8.2 shall:

 

  (a) extend to any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably and properly incurred by the Sellers in connection with a successful claim made in connection with paragraphs 8.1 (as the case may be);

 

  (b) (in the case of paragraph 8.1) not apply to Tax to the extent that the Purchaser could claim payment in respect of it under paragraph 2.1, except to the extent a payment has been made pursuant to paragraph 2.1 and the Tax to which it relates was not paid by or on behalf of a Target Group Company; and

 

  (c) not apply to Tax to the extent it has been recovered whether under any relevant statutory provision or otherwise (and the Purchaser or the Sellers, as the case may be, shall procure that no such recovery is sought to the extent that payment is made hereunder).

 

8.4 Paragraphs 9.1, 9.5, 9.6 and 10 (Notification of Claims, Conduct of Disputes and Due Date of Payment and Interest) shall apply to the covenants contained in paragraph 8.1 as they apply to the covenants contained in paragraph 2.1, replacing references to the Sellers by the Purchaser (and vice versa) where appropriate, and making any other necessary modifications.

 

9. NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND CONDUCT OF DISPUTES

 

9.1 If the Purchaser or a Target Group Company becomes aware of any Tax Claim or other matter which could result in a liability for the Sellers under this Schedule or in respect of a breach of any Tax Warranty, the Purchaser shall give notice to the Sellers of that Tax Claim or matter (including reasonably sufficient details of such Tax Claim or matter, the due date for any payment and the Time Limits for any appeal, and so far as practicable the amount involved) as soon as reasonably possible (and in a case involving a time limit for making an appeal or otherwise meeting a formal time limit or deadline, not less than twelve (12) Business Days before the deadline for making the appeal or otherwise meeting the formal time limit or deadline).

 

9.2 Subject to the Sellers agreeing to pay the reasonable costs of the Purchaser and Target Group Company, the Purchaser shall take (or procure that any relevant Target Group Company shall take) such action as the Sellers may reasonably request to avoid, dispute, resist, appeal, compromise or defend a Tax Claim.

 

-125-


9.3 In dealing with any Tax Claim, the Purchaser shall:

 

  (a) keep the Sellers fully informed of all material actual or proposed developments known to it or its professional advisers concerning the relevant proceedings;

 

  (b) promptly notify the Sellers of any intended oral communication or any meeting with a relevant Taxation Authority in relation to the relevant proceedings, including details of the proposed agenda (and a summary of the position proposed to be taken in relation to the points on such agenda) and allow the Sellers or their professional advisers to fully participate in any such communication or meeting insofar as they relate to the relevant proceedings;

 

  (c) promptly provide the Sellers with copies of or extracts from all material documents (including copies of any notes relating to any material oral communication or meeting in (b) above) and material correspondence insofar as they relate to the relevant proceedings;

 

  (d) so far as reasonably practicable and at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of any intended submission, provide to the Sellers for prior review any material document or material correspondence related to the relevant proceedings which is to be submitted to the relevant Taxation Authority and make such amendments to such documents or correspondence as the Sellers may reasonably require; and

 

  (e) subject to prior approval by the Sellers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), be entitled to appoint such person or persons to deal directly with the relevant Taxation Authority,

provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this paragraph 9.3 shall oblige the Purchaser to disclose commercially sensitive information to the Sellers to the extent they relate to matters other than the relevant proceedings.

 

9.4 The Purchaser shall procure that no Tax Claim, action or issue in respect of which the Sellers could be required to make a payment under this Schedule or in respect of a breach of any Tax Warranty is settled or otherwise compromised without the Sellers’ prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Purchaser shall, and shall procure that any Target Group Company and any of their respective advisers shall, not submit any material correspondence or return or send any other material document to any Taxation Authority where the Purchaser or any such person is aware that the effect of submitting such correspondence or return or sending such document would or could be to put such Taxation Authority on notice of any matter which could give rise to, or could increase, a claim under this Schedule or in respect of a breach of any Tax Warranty, without first affording the Sellers a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon and without making such amendments as may be reasonably requested by the Sellers.

 

9.5 Nothing in this clause 9 shall oblige the Purchaser or any Target Group Company to:

 

  (a) do anything which the Purchaser reasonably considers to be contrary to Applicable Law; and/or

 

-126-


  (b) do anything which could reasonably be expected to either give rise to or increase a liability to Tax or result in a loss, reduction, non-availability or deferral of any Purchaser’s Relief for or by the Purchaser or a Target Group Company (a “Consequential Tax Liability”) in circumstances where the Seller has not agreed fully to indemnify the Purchaser or Target Group Company (as applicable) against such Consequential Tax Liability; and/or

 

  (c) take any action if the Purchaser is able to demonstrate (acting reasonably and in good faith) that to do so would have material adverse Tax consequences for the Purchaser or any member of the Target Group in circumstances where the Seller has not agreed fully to indemnify the Purchaser or Target Group Company (as applicable) against such material adverse Tax consequences; and/or

 

  (d) take any action to the extent that it could reasonably be expected to involve a Target Group Company contesting any Tax Claim before any court or other appellate body (excluding the Taxation Authority which has made the Tax Claim) unless Tax counsel (of at least ten (10) years’ experience) appointed by agreement between the Sellers and the Purchaser and instructed jointly by the Sellers and the Purchaser opines, in writing, that such appeal is more likely to succeed than not.

 

10. DUE DATE OF PAYMENT AND INTEREST

 

10.1 Subject to paragraph 10.2 the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser any amount payable under this Schedule on or before the date which is the later of the date ten (10) Business Days after demand is made therefore by the Purchaser and two (2) Business Days before the first date on which the Tax in question becomes recoverable by the Taxation Authority demanding the same. Provided that:

 

  (a) if the date on which the Tax can be recovered is deferred following application to the relevant Taxation Authority, the date for payment by the Sellers shall be two (2) Business Days before such later date when the amount of Tax is finally and conclusively determined; and

 

  (b) if a payment or payments to the relevant Taxation Authority prior to the date otherwise specified by this paragraph would avoid or minimise interest or penalties, the Sellers may at their option pay the whole or part of the amount due to the Purchaser on an earlier date or dates, and the Purchaser shall procure that the tax in question (or the appropriate part of it) is promptly paid to the relevant Taxation Authority.

 

10.2 The Sellers may, with the Purchaser’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, make a direct payment in respect of the Tax Liability in question to the relevant Taxation Authority (including through use of certificates of Tax deposit or the equivalent) and the Sellers’ liability to the Purchaser shall be treated as reduced or eliminated accordingly.

 

10.3 Where a claim under this Schedule relates to the use or set off of a Purchaser’s Relief, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser the amount due under this Schedule in respect thereof on the date which is two (2) Business Days before the first date on which Tax would have been payable but for the use or set off of the Purchaser’s Relief.

 

-127-


10.4 Any sum not paid by the Sellers on the due date for payment specified in paragraph 10.1 or 10.2 shall bear interest (which shall accrue from day to day after as well as before any judgment for the same) at a rate of 2 per cent. per annum over the base rate of the Bank of England from the due date to and including the day of actual payment of such sum, provided that such interest shall not accrue to the extent that the Sellers’ liability under paragraph 2.1 or paragraph 5 extends to interest or penalties arising after the due date. Any interest due under this paragraph shall be paid on the demand of the Purchaser on or following the date of payment of such sum.

 

11. RECOVERY FROM THIRD PARTIES/TAX SAVINGS

 

11.1 Paragraph 11.2 shall apply to recovery from third parties and paragraph 11.3 shall apply to Tax savings.

 

11.2 Subject to this paragraph 11, in circumstances where the Sellers have made a payment to the Purchaser under this Schedule or in respect of a breach of any Tax Warranty, in either case, in connection with a Tax Liability or other matter and the Purchaser, a Target Group Company or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group either receives, or is or may be entitled to recover, from any person (other than the Purchaser, a Target Group Company or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group) a payment in respect of that Tax Liability or other matter at any time up to the date which is one (1) month after the date on which the Purchaser Tax Claim Period ends, then:

 

  (a) upon the Purchaser and/or a Target Group Company becoming so aware, the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers of that fact as soon as reasonably possible and if so required by the Sellers shall (subject to the relevant Target Group Company being indemnified to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser against any costs which may be thereby incurred by the relevant Target Group Company acting reasonably) take (or shall procure that the relevant Target Group Company or any person connected with either the Purchaser or the relevant Target Group Company shall take) such action as the Sellers may reasonably request to enforce recovery of such payment (keeping the Sellers fully informed of the progress of any material action taken and providing it with copies of all material correspondence and documentation); and

 

  (b) if the Purchaser, the relevant Target Group Company or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group receives a payment in respect of the relevant Tax Liability or other matter (including by way of credit or set-off), the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers in accordance with paragraph 11.4 below a sum equal to the payment so recovered (less (x) any Tax actually suffered thereon and (y) any reasonable costs of recovering such payment).

 

11.3

Subject to this paragraph 11, where the Sellers have made a payment to the Purchaser under this Schedule or in respect of a breach of any Tax Warranty, in either case, in

 

-128-


  connection with a Tax Liability or other matter and the Purchaser, any Target Group Company or other member of the Purchaser’s Group receives, or is or may be entitled to obtain at any point up to the date which is one (1) month after the date on which the Purchaser Tax Claim Period expires, a payment or Relief in respect of that Tax Liability or other matter which would not have arisen but for the Tax Liability or other matter in question or the circumstances giving rise thereto (including in circumstances where a Tax Liability arises because a deduction or other Relief assumed to be available in preparing the Final Balance Sheet is in fact available only in a subsequent period or periods), then:

 

  (a) the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers of that fact as soon as reasonably possible and if so required by the Sellers shall (subject to the relevant Target Group Company being indemnified to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser against any costs which may be thereby incurred by the relevant Target Group Company acting reasonably) take (or shall procure that the relevant Target Group Company or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group shall take) such action as the Sellers may reasonably request to obtain such payment or Relief (keeping the Sellers fully informed of the progress of material any action taken including the provision of copies of all material correspondence and documentation; and

 

  (b) if the Purchaser, any Target Group Company or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group receives or obtains a payment or Relief, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers in accordance with paragraph 11.4 below a sum equal to the amount that the Purchaser, the relevant Target Group Company or such other member of the Purchaser’s Group saves by virtue of the payment or the Relief (less (x) any Tax actually suffered thereon and (y) any reasonable costs of obtaining such payment or Relief).

 

11.4 Any payment required to be made by the Purchaser pursuant to paragraphs 11.2 and 11.3 shall be made:

 

  (a) in a case where the Purchaser, any Target Group Company or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group receives a payment, within five (5) Business Days of the receipt thereof; and

 

  (b) in a case where the Purchaser, any Target Group Company or any other member of the Purchaser’s Group obtains a Relief, on or before the date on which Tax would have become recoverable by the appropriate Taxation Authority but for the use of such Relief.

 

11.5 The Purchaser shall procure that any such Relief as is referred to in paragraphs 11.3 and 11.4(b) is used as soon as reasonably practicable, but shall not be obliged to procure it is used in priority to any other Relief. The Sellers shall be entitled to require (at the Sellers’ cost) not more than once per year that the auditors of the relevant Target Group Company or other connected person (as the case may be) shall certify the amount and date of use of such relief for the purposes of this paragraph 11. Nothing in this paragraph 11 shall oblige the Purchaser or any Target Group Company to take, or refrain from taking, any action that the Purchaser reasonably considers to be contrary to Applicable Law.

 

-129-


11.6 Any sum not paid by the Purchaser on the due date of payment specified in paragraph 11.4 shall bear interest (which shall accrue from day to day after as well as before any judgment for the same) at a rate per annum equal to the rate of 2 per cent. per annum over the base rate of the Bank of England from the due date to and including the day of actual payment of such sum compounded six monthly.

  (a) the Purchaser is kept informed of all material matters relating to the Tax Return referred to in paragraph 12.1 and receives copies of all written correspondence with any Taxation Authority insofar as it is relevant to the Pre-Completion Tax Affairs;

 

  (b) the Purchaser is afforded the opportunity to comment within a reasonable period of time on any Tax Document prior to its submission to the relevant Taxation Authority and that its reasonable comments are taken into account;

-130-


  (d) the Pre-Completion Tax Affairs are dealt with expediently and sufficient resources are used to agree all relevant matters with Taxation Authorities as soon as reasonably possible.

Rights and obligations of the Purchaser

 

12.4 The Purchaser shall procure that:

 

  (a) the Sellers and their duly authorised agents are afforded such access (including the taking of copies) to the books, accounts and records of each Target Group Company and such other assistance as it or they reasonably require to enable the Sellers to discharge their obligations under paragraph 12.1 and 12.2 and to enable the Sellers and any member of the Sellers’ Group to comply with their own Tax obligations or facilitate the management or settlement of their own Tax affairs;

 

  (b) the Sellers are promptly sent a copy of any communication from any Taxation Authority insofar as it relates to the Pre-Completion Tax Affairs;

 

  (c) (except where requested in writing by the Sellers) so far as it relates to Pre-Completion Tax Affairs and/or the Straddle Period, no voluntary action or omission is taken by any Target Group Company or any person connected with any Target Group Company after Completion (whether by disclaiming any Relief, withdrawing or revoking any claim or consent or otherwise) which would or is likely either to prejudice or reduce the availability of any Relief or otherwise to give rise to a claim by the Purchaser under this Schedule or in respect of a breach of any Tax Warranty; and

 

  (d) there is given to such person or persons as may for the time being be nominated by the Sellers authority to conduct Pre-Completion Tax Affairs, and that such authority is confirmed to any relevant Taxation Authority.

12.6 The Purchaser shall be under no obligation to procure the authorisation or signing of any Tax Document delivered to it under paragraph 12.3 which it considers in its reasonable opinion to be false or misleading in a material respect, but for the avoidance of doubt shall be under no obligation to make any enquiry as to the completeness or accuracy thereof and shall be entitled to rely entirely on the Sellers and their agents.

 

12.7 In connection with this paragraph 12, the Sellers shall not make or amend and shall not request the Purchaser or a Target Group Company to (a) make or amend any claim relating to Reliefs that may (i) cause or increase an Actual Liability for which the Sellers may be liable under paragraph 2.1 or (ii) reduce an Accounts Relief or (b) reverse or otherwise amend any application for the surrender of group relief in the event that such reversal or amendment gives rise to an obligation on a Target Group Company to refund any amount paid before Completion in respect of such surrender.

 

-131-


13. CONDUCT OF OTHER TAX AFFAIRS

 

13.1 Subject to paragraph 9 and the remainder of this paragraph 13.1, and subject to the following sub paragraphs, the Purchaser or its duly authorised agents shall have sole conduct of all Tax affairs of each Target Group Company which are not Pre-Completion Tax Affairs and shall be entitled to deal with such Tax affairs in any way in which it, in its absolute discretion, considers fit. However, with respect to any VAT and/or PAYE return of the Target Group which is submitted after Completion and which (in whole or part) relates to any period (or part of any period) before Completion, the Purchaser shall procure that such VAT and/or PAYE return shall be prepared and submitted in good faith, and is consistent with the approach taken with respect to such returns that were submitted before Completion.

 

13.2 In respect of any Accounting Period commencing prior to Completion and ending after Completion (the “Straddle Period”) the Purchaser shall procure that the Tax Returns of each Target Group Company shall be prepared on a basis which is consistent with the manner in which those Tax Returns were prepared for all Accounting Periods ending prior to Completion. Subject to clause 14.2, the Sellers shall procure that (at the Purchaser’s cost and expense) the Purchaser and the Target Group Companies and their duly authorised agents are afforded such access (including the taking of copies) to the books, accounts and records (such books, accounts and records being redacted to the extent that they contain any information or document that is not reasonably required by the Purchaser for the purposes of this paragraph 13.2) held by the Sellers or their agents as the Purchaser reasonably requires to enable the Purchaser or the Target Group Companies to discharge their obligations under this paragraph 13 and to enable the Purchaser and the Target Group Companies to comply with their own Tax obligations or facilitate the management or settlement of their own Tax affairs.

 

13.3 The Purchaser shall procure that each Target Group Company provides to the Sellers all Tax Returns for Tax purposes relating to the Straddle Period no later than ten (10) Business Days before the date on which such Tax Returns are required to be filed with the appropriate Taxation Authority without incurring interest or penalties. The Purchaser shall further procure that each Target Group Company shall make such amendments as may be reasonably requested by the Sellers before the Tax Returns are submitted to the appropriate Taxation Authority.

 

13.4 No action taken by the Purchaser under provisions of paragraphs 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3 shall preclude the Purchaser from making a claim under this Schedule or in respect of a breach of any Tax Warranty.

 

13.5

The Sellers and the Purchaser agree to take all reasonable steps to procure that (to the extent relevant) each member of the Sellers’ Group is removed (with effect from not later than Completion) from any Tax group (including any UK VAT group) and/or any Tax sharing or Tax payment (including any UK group payment) arrangement of which any

 

-132-


  member of the Sellers’ Group and any Target Group Company are both members or otherwise subject to, and to provide all reasonable co-operation and assistance (including, to the extent relevant and without limitation, the giving of consents and making of elections) to each other in so doing.

 

13.6 The Sellers shall or shall procure that each member of the Sellers’ Group which is or has prior to Completion been a member of any group for the purposes of VAT of which a member of the Target Group is the representative member (a “VAT Group”) contributes to the representative member of such VAT Group such proportion of any VAT for which the representative member is accountable as is properly attributable to supplies, acquisitions and importations (“VAT Supplies”) made by each such Seller Group Company whilst a member of such VAT Group (less such amount of deductible input Tax (or any equivalent thereof) as is properly attributable to such VAT Supplies), such contribution to be made in cleared funds on the day which is the later of two (2) Business Days after demand is made therefore, and two (2) Business Days before the day on which the representative member is required to account for such VAT to HM Revenue & Customs or other relevant Taxation Authority. The Purchaser shall pay, or shall procure that there is paid, to the Sellers (on behalf of each relevant Seller Group Company) an amount equivalent to such proportion of any repayment of VAT received by the representative member from any relevant Taxation Authority or of any credit obtained by reference to an excess of deductible input Tax over output Tax (or the equivalents thereof in the relevant jurisdiction) that is properly attributable to VAT Supplies made to and by the relevant Seller Group Companies whilst members of the relevant VAT Group, promptly after its receipt by, or offset against a liability of, the representative member. The Sellers shall provide such information as may be required to enable the representative member to make the returns and provide the information required to be provided for VAT purposes.

 

13.7

The Purchaser shall procure that any member of the Target Group shall, in respect of any time or period falling on or prior to the Completion Date (which for the purposes of this paragraph 13.7 shall include any overlapping period as defined in section 142 of the CTA 2010), make, give or enter into such claims, elections, surrenders, notices or consents (whether unconditional or conditional, whether or not forming part of any other return or Tax document, whether provisional or final, and including amendments to or withdrawals of earlier claims, elections, surrenders, notices or consents, whether or not made before or after Completion) as the Sellers shall direct in connection with any Surrender: (i) by or to any company which is or was a member of the Sellers’ Group on or before Completion; and/or (ii) by or to any other member of the Target Group. No payment shall be made in respect of any such Surrender by or to any Target Group Company. In relation to any proposed Surrender by any member of the Target Group, the Purchaser shall not be obliged to procure that such member of the Target Group makes, gives or enters into any claim, election, surrender, notice or consent (a) to the extent that such claim, election, surrender, notice or consent (i) relates to any Purchaser’s Relief, or (ii) may reverse or otherwise amend any application for the surrender of group relief in the event that such reversal or amendment gives rise to an obligation on a Target Group Company to refund any amount paid before Completion in respect of such surrender in circumstances where the Sellers have not agreed fully to indemnify such Target Group Company in respect of

 

-133-


  such refund, or (b) where as a direct result of such claim, election, surrender, notice or consent any member of the Target Group is required to make an actual payment of Tax in respect of any Accounting Period or part Accounting Period ending on or before Completion.

 

13.8 The Sellers and the Purchaser shall work together to ensure that all Tax groups and other arrangements between the Target Group Companies and the Sellers’ Group are terminated from Completion. The Parties shall work together and use reasonable efforts (taking into account any legal, regulatory, Tax and other relevant restrictions and considerations) to seek to ensure that all such Tax groups and other arrangements shall be terminated in a manner which does not give rise to Tax Liability or the reduction or loss of a Purchaser’s Relief or other loss, cost expense or liability for a Target Group Company.

 

13.9 In connection with Skandia, the Purchaser shall upon request and at the cost of the Sellers and subject to the Sellers undertaking to preserve confidentiality and legal privilege where applicable:

 

  (a) promptly keep the Sellers informed of material developments in connection with Skandia which will affect the VAT position of the Target Group in the period prior to Completion for which the Sellers may be liable under this Schedule known to it, any Target Group Company;

 

  (b) promptly provide the Sellers with copies of any material documents and/or correspondence (including, without limitation, those produced by a Tax department within the Target Group and any advise or analysis received from any professional adviser), any such documents or correspondence being redacted to the extent that they contain any information or document that is not reasonably required by the Seller for the purposes of this paragraph 13.9, insofar as they relate to the application of Skandia to the Target Group in the period prior to Completion for which the Sellers may be liable under this Schedule;

 

  (d) provide the Sellers with notice of any intended meeting with a relevant Taxation Authority in relation to or arising from the application of Skandia (and which is expected to affect the VAT position of the Target Group in the period prior to Completion for which the Sellers may be liable under this Schedule) including details of the proposed agenda (and a summary of the position to be taken in relation to the points on such agenda) and allow the Sellers and/or the Sellers’ professional advisers to participate in such meeting;

 

  (e) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of any intended submission, provide to the Sellers for prior review any material document or correspondence related to or arising from the application of Skandia (and which is expected to affect the VAT position of the Target Group in the period prior to Completion for which the Sellers may be liable under this Schedule) which is intended to be submitted to a relevant Taxation Authority and make such amendments to such documents or correspondence as the Sellers may, acting in good faith, reasonably require;

 

-134-


  (f) prior to taking any material action, implementing any material decision or finally determining any material issue or position with respect to Skandia and which will impact the VAT position of the Target Group in the period prior to Completion for which the Sellers may be liable under this Schedule, consult (in good faith) with the Sellers as to the nature of the relevant action, decision, issue or position and shall not take such action, implement such decision or finally determine such issue or position without the Sellers written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

 

  (g) at all times deal with the application of Skandia in such a manner, and with the objective of ensuring, that so far as reasonably practicable any potential VAT cost to the Target Group (in the period prior to Completion) is mitigated and shall further ensure that no position is taken, decision made or action implemented which could result in a materially worse VAT position for the Target Group in the period prior to Completion than would be the case for all or part of the Purchaser’s Group (including the Target Group) in the period following Completion.

 

13.10 Nothing in this paragraph 13 shall oblige the Purchaser or any Target Group Company to:

To the extent that any Restructuring Transactions have not been completed upon the Closing, Cedent shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to complete any remaining Restructuring Transactions as soon as possible following the Closing; provided, that such obligation shall terminate upon the issuance of a final written decision of any applicable Governmental Authority, the approval of which is reasonably necessary to consummate such Restructuring Transaction, denying such approval.

Reinsurer and Cedent, and their respective Affiliates, shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement with respect to such matters without the advance approval of the other party following such consultation (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), except as may be required by Applicable Law or by the requirements of any securities exchange; provided that, in the event that any party is required by Applicable Law or the requirements of any securities exchange to issue any such press release or make any public statement and it is not feasible to obtain the advance approval of the other party hereto as required by this Section 5.9, the party that issues such press release or makes such statement shall provide the other party with notice and a copy of such press release or statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

ARTICLE VII.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 7.1. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a) The representations and warranties of Cedent and Reinsurer contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing solely for purposes of this Article VII and shall terminate and expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; provided that the representations and warranties made in Sections 3.1 (Organization, Standing and Corporate Power), 3.2 (Authority) and 3.15 (Brokers and Finders) (the “Cedent Fundamental Representations”) and Sections 4.1 (Organization, Standing and Corporate Power), 4.2 (Authority) and 4.8 (Brokers and Finders) (the “Reinsurer Fundamental Representations”) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

(b) To the extent that it is to be performed after the Closing, each covenant in this Agreement will, for purposes of this Article VII, survive and remain in effect in accordance with its terms plus a period of six (6) months thereafter, after which no claim for indemnification with respect thereto may be brought hereunder. All covenants in this Agreement that by their terms are required to be fully performed prior to the Closing will survive until the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, after which time no claim for indemnification with respect thereto may be brought hereunder.

(c) Any claim for indemnification in respect of any breach of representation, warranty or covenant that is not asserted by notice given as required herein prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period specified in this Section 7.1 shall not be valid and any right to indemnification is hereby irrevocably waived after the expiration of such period of survival. Any claim properly made for an Indemnifiable Loss in respect of such a breach asserted within such period of survival as herein provided will be timely made for purposes hereof.

SECTION 7.2. Indemnification.

(a) Cedent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Reinsurer, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Reinsurer Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses resulting from or arising out of:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Cedent made in Article III of this Agreement (other than Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.12(c)); or

(ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any agreement or covenant of Cedent under this Agreement.

(b) Reinsurer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Cedent, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Cedent Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses resulting from or arising out of:

 

32


(i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Reinsurer made in Article IV of this Agreement; or

(ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any agreement or covenant of Reinsurer under this Agreement.

(c) For purposes of determining whether any representation or warranty has been breached and the amount of any Indemnifiable Losses under this Article VII, each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement shall be read without regard to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect (which instead will be read as an adverse effect or change) qualifier contained therein, except for any such limitation or qualification contained in Section 3.11(b).

SECTION 7.3. Certain Limitations.

(a) No party shall be obligated to indemnify and hold harmless its respective Indemnitees under Section 7.2(a)(i) (in the case of Cedent) or Section 7.2(b)(i) (in the case of Reinsurer), other than in respect of any breach of any Cedent Fundamental Representations or Reinsurer Fundamental Representations (as applicable) (i) with respect to any claim or claims based on substantially similar facts, events or circumstances, unless such claim or claims involve Indemnifiable Losses in excess of $50,000 (the “Threshold Amount”) (nor shall any claim that does not exceed the Threshold Amount be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the amount of Indemnifiable Losses for which the Indemnitor is responsible under clause (ii) below), and (ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Indemnifiable Losses of the Indemnitees under such Sections 7.2(a)(i) (except in respect of Cedent Fundamental Representations) or such Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in respect of Reinsurer Fundamental Representations), as the case may be, exceeds $1,050,000 for all Indemnifiable Losses (the “Deductible”), at which point such Indemnitor shall be liable to its respective Indemnitees for the value of such claims under Sections 7.2(a)(i) or such Section 7.2(b)(i), as the case may be, that is in excess of the Deductible, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII. The maximum aggregate liability of Cedent, on the one hand, and Reinsurer, on the other hand, to their respective Indemnitees for any and all Indemnifiable Losses under Section 7.2(a)(i) (except in respect of a breach of the Cedent Fundamental Representations), in the case of Cedent, or Section 7.2(b)(i) (except in respect of a breach of the Reinsurer Fundamental Representations), in the case of Reinsurer, shall be an amount equal to $14,000,000.

(b) No Reinsurer Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any particular Indemnifiable Loss to the extent the related damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, costs, or expenses were included in the calculation of the Adjusted Initial Ceded Total Reserves.

(c) In the event a claim or any Action for indemnification under this Article VII has been finally determined, the amount of such final determination shall be paid (i) if the Indemnified Party is a Reinsurer Indemnified Person, by Cedent to the Reinsurer

 

33


Indemnified Person and, (ii) if the Indemnified Party is a Cedent Indemnified Person, by Reinsurer to the Cedent Indemnified Person, in each case on demand by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Cedent or Reinsurer, as applicable. A claim or an Action, and the liability for and amount of damages therefor, shall be deemed to be “finally determined” for purposes of this Article VII when the parties to this Agreement have so determine by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority has been entered into with respect to such claim or Action.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any fact, event, or circumstance that results in an adjustment under Section 2.4 would also constitute a breach of or inaccuracy in any of Cedent’s representations, warranties, covenants, or agreement under this Agreement, Cedent shall have no obligation to indemnify any Reinsurer Indemnified Person with respect to such breach or inaccuracy to the extent such indemnification would result in a duplicate recovery.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in (i) Article II, (ii) Section 9.7(b), (iii) the Reinsurance Agreement and (iv) with respect to causes of action arising out from actual fraud, if the Closing occurs, their sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing at law or equity with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or any other matter relating to any party or its Affiliates prior to the Closing, in each case regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or in tort, whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, shall be pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Article VII.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Reinsurer shall have no rights and remedies whatsoever under this Agreement, including any claim for indemnification under this Article VII or injunctive relief, in connection with any breach by Cedent of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c), except as expressly set forth in Section 6.2(a)(i).

SECTION 7.4. Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(a) If any Indemnitee receives notice of assertion or commencement of any Third Party Claim against such Indemnitee in respect of which an Indemnitor may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnitor reasonably prompt written notice (but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after becoming aware) thereof and such notice shall include a reasonable description of the claim and any documents relating to the claim and an estimate of the Indemnifiable Loss and shall reference the specific sections of this Agreement that form the basis of such claim; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by such delay (except that the Indemnitor shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to give such notice). Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnitor, within five calendar days after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim.

 

34


(b) The Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor. Any election by the Indemnitor to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim must be delivered by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the Indemnitor of the Indemnitee’s notice delivered pursuant to Section 7.4(a). Such assumption of defense shall not be deemed to be an admission or assumption of liability by the Indemnitor. Should the Indemnitor so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall not as long as it conducts such defense be liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor, it being understood that the Indemnitor shall control such defense. The Indemnitor shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnitor has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnitee shall have not yet given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnitor chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, all of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in the defense thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnitor’s request at the Indemnitor’s expense) the provision to the Indemnitor of records and information that are relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or pay, settle, compromise, or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent, and any such admission, payment, settlement, compromise, or discharge without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent shall be deemed to be a waiver by the Indemnitee of any right to indemnity for all Indemnifiable Losses related to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor may only pay, settle, compromise, or discharge a Third Party Claim with the Indemnitee’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided that the Indemnitor may pay, settle, compromise, or discharge such a Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee if such settlement (i) includes a release of the Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (ii) does not subject the Indemnitee to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, and (iii) does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability, or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor submits to the Indemnitee a bona fide settlement offer that satisfies the requirements set forth in the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence and the Indemnitee refuses to consent to such settlement, then thereafter the Indemnitor’s liability to the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the Indemnitor’s portion of the settlement amount included in such settlement offer, and the Indemnitee shall either assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or pay the Indemnitor’s attorney’s fees and other out-of-pocket costs incurred thereafter in continuing the defense of such Third Party Claim.

SECTION 7.5. Direct Claims. The Indemnitor will have a period of thirty (30) days within which to respond in writing to any claim by an Indemnitee on account of an Indemnifiable Loss that does not result from a Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor does not so

 

35


respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnitor will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnitee will be entitled to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee.

SECTION 7.6. Certain Other Matters. Upon making any Indemnity Payment, Indemnitor will, to the extent of such Indemnity Payment, be subrogated to all rights of Indemnitee against any third Person (other than any Tax authority) in respect of the Indemnifiable Loss to which the Indemnity Payment related. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnitee and Indemnitor will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation rights.

ARTICLE VIII.

TERMINATION PRIOR TO CLOSING

SECTION 8.1. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by Cedent or Reinsurer in writing, if there shall be any order, injunction, or decree of any Governmental Authority that prohibits or restrains any party from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, and such order, injunction or decree shall have become final and non-appealable; provided that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) shall have performed in all material respects its obligations under this Agreement, acted in good faith, and, if binding on such party, used reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry of, and to remove, such order, injunction, or decree in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement;

(b) by Cedent or Reinsurer in writing, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to June 30, 2016 (as it may be extended, the “Deadline Date”), unless the failure of the Closing to occur is the result of a material breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement;

(c) by either Cedent or Reinsurer (but only so long as Cedent or Reinsurer, as applicable, is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement) in writing, if a breach of any provision of this Agreement that has been committed by the other party would cause the failure of any mutual condition to Closing or any condition to Closing for the benefit of the non-breaching party and such breach is not subsequently waived by the non-breaching party or capable of being cured or is not cured within 30 calendar days after the breaching party receives written notice from the non-breaching party that the non-breaching party intends to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c); or

(d) by mutual written consent of Cedent and Reinsurer.

SECTION 8.2. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect without liability of either party (or any Representative of such party) to the other party to this Agreement; provided that no such termination shall relieve a party from liability for any breach

 

36


of this Agreement prior to such termination or for actual fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 1.1, this Section 8.2 and Article IX shall survive termination hereof pursuant to Section 8.1. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, (a) Reinsurer shall return all documents received from Cedent, its Affiliates, and its Representatives relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether obtained before or after the execution hereof, to Cedent, and (b) all confidential information received by Reinsurer with respect to Cedent and its Affiliates shall be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

38


(g) Any fact or item disclosed in any section of each of the Reinsurer Disclosure Schedule or the Cedent Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosed in all other sections of such Disclosure Schedule to the extent the applicability of such fact or item to such other section of such Disclosure Schedule is reasonably apparent. Disclosure of any item in the Reinsurer Disclosure Schedule or the Cedent Disclosure Schedule, as the case may be, shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material item, fact, exception of fact, event, or circumstance or that occurrence or non-occurrence of any change or effect related to such item would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.5. Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Article VII with respect to the Reinsurer Indemnified Persons and the Cedent Indemnified Persons, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies.

SECTION 9.6. Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

SECTION 9.7. Jurisdiction; Enforcement.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of the United States or any state court, which in either case is located in the City of New York (each, a “New York Court”) for purposes of enforcing this Agreement or determining any claim arising from or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In any such action, suit, or other proceeding, each of the

 

39


parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, that such action, suit, or other proceeding is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, that such action, suit, or other proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such action, suit, or other proceeding is improper; provided that nothing set forth in this sentence shall prohibit any of the parties hereto from removing any matter from one New York Court to another New York Court. Each of the parties hereto also agrees that any final and unappealable judgment against a party hereto in connection with any action, suit, or other proceeding will be conclusive and binding on such party and that such award or judgment may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment will be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment. Any process or other paper to be served in connection with any action or proceeding under this Agreement shall, if delivered or sent in accordance with Section 9.2, constitute good, proper, and sufficient service thereof.

(b) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, without the necessity of posting bond or other undertaking, the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement, this being in addition (subject to the terms of this Agreement) to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any Action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party hereto shall allege, and each party hereto hereby waives any defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OR ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.7.

SECTION 9.8. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be novated, transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by either party without the non-transferring party’s consent; provided that the merger of Cedent with an entity which was under common control with it before such merger, regardless of whether Cedent is the survivor of such merger, shall not be deemed to be an assignment; any such resulting merged entity shall be considered to be Cedent under this Agreement. Upon assignment, this Agreement will be binding upon the respective successors and assigns.

 

40


SECTION 9.9. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement of the parties. Any change or modification to this Agreement shall be null and void unless made by amendment to this Agreement and signed by both parties.

SECTION 9.10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law or if determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, and if the rights or obligations of Cedent or Reinsurer under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, such provision shall be fully severable, and this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom.

SECTION 9.11. Waiver. Either party may choose not to enforce or insist upon the strict adherence to any provision or right under this Agreement. If either party so elects, it will not be considered to be a permanent waiver of such provision nor in any way affect the validity of this Agreement. The applicable party will still have the right to insist upon the strict adherence to that provision or any other provision of this Agreement in the future. Any waiver of provisions by a party under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the party.

SECTION 9.12. Certain Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the other Transaction Agreements, the Cedent Disclosure Schedule, or any of the Schedules or Exhibits hereto or thereto, Reinsurer acknowledges and agrees that neither Cedent nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Representative of any of them, makes or has made, and Reinsurer has not relied on, any inducement, promise, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, other than except as expressly made by Cedent in Article III. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other than as expressly set forth in Article III, no Person has made any representation or warranty to Reinsurer with respect to the Business or any other matter, including with respect to (i) the probable success or profitability of the Business after the Closing, or (ii) any information, documents, or material made available to Reinsurer, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives in any “data rooms,” information memoranda, management presentations, functional “break-out” discussions, or in any other form or forum in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any estimation, valuation, appraisal, projection, or forecast. With respect to any such estimation, valuation, appraisal, projection, or forecast (including and confidential information memoranda prepared by or on behalf of Cedent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), Reinsurer acknowledges that: (i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimations, valuations, appraisals, projections, and forecasts; (ii) it is familiar with such uncertainties; (iii) except as expressly set forth in Section 3.12(b) and Section 5(a) of Article VIII of the Reinsurance Agreement it is not acting and has not acted in reliance on any such estimation valuation, appraisal, projection, or forecast delivered by or on behalf of Cedent to Reinsurer, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives; (iv) such estimations, valuations, appraisals, projections, and forecasts are not and shall not be deemed to be representations or warranties of Cedent or any of its Affiliates except as expressly set forth in Section 3.12(b) and

 

41


Section 5(a) of Article VIII of the Reinsurance Agreement; and (v) it shall have no claim against any Person with respect to any such valuation, appraisal, projection, or forecast except with respect to representations and warranties expressly set forth in Section 3.12(b) and Section 5(a) of Article VIII of the Reinsurance Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Cedent makes no express or implied representation or warranty hereby or otherwise under this Agreement as to the future experience, success or profitability of the Business, whether or not conducted in a manner similar to the manner in which such business was conducted prior to the Closing, that the Insurance Reserves or the assets supporting such Insurance Reserves have been or will be adequate or sufficient for the purposes for which they were established or that the reinsurance recoverables taken into account in determining the amount of such reserves will be collectible, or except as expressly set forth in Section 3.12(a)(ii)(A) and (B), whether such reserves were calculated, established, or determined in accordance with any actuarial, statutory or other standard.

(c) Reinsurer further acknowledges and agrees that it (i) has made its own inquiry and investigation into and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning the Business, (ii) has been provided adequate access to such information as it has deemed necessary to enable it to form such independent judgment, (iii) has had such time as it deems necessary and appropriate fully and completely to review and analyze such information, documents, and other materials, and (iv) has been provided an opportunity to ask questions of Cedent with respect to such information, documents, and other materials and has received answers to such questions that it considers satisfactory.

(d) Under no circumstances does any of the content of this Agreement or the Reinsurance Agreement constitute an express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the future performance of the Reinsured Policies or of the experience, success or profitability of the Reinsured Policies.

SECTION 9.13. Currency. All financial data required to be provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be expressed in United States dollars. All settlements of account between Cedent and Reinsurer shall be in cash.

SECTION 9.14. No Offset. No party to this Agreement may offset any amount due to the other party hereto or any of such other party’s Affiliates under this Agreement against any amount owed or alleged to be owed from such other party or its Affiliates under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement without the written consent of such other party. For clarity, this Section 9.14 shall not be construed to limit or otherwise affect the rights of any such party to offset any mutual debits and credits arising under the Reinsurance Agreement to the extent permitted thereunder.

SECTION 9.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Cedent and Reinsurer agree that transmission of copies of original signatures via electronic means, either by facsimile or as a “scanned” document attached to electronic mail, shall constitute valid execution of this Agreement. In the event of an

 

42


electronic exchange of signatures for this Agreement, Cedent and Reinsurer agree to subsequently exchange original “wet” execution signatures of this Agreement within a reasonable time following the electronic exchange of signatures; provided that the failure of any party to exchange original “wet” execution signatures of this Agreement shall in no event affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. Such “wet” execution signatures will reflect the date of original execution and thus will be executed in counterpart.
