INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors

United of Omaha Life Insurance Company

Omaha, Nebraska

Opinions

We have audited the statutory financial statements of United of Omaha Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) (a wholly owned subsidiary of Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company), which comprise the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statutory statements of operations, changes in surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes to the statutory financial statements (collectively referred to as the “statutory financial statements”).

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the accompanying statutory financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Nebraska Department of Insurance described in Note 1.

Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America section of our report, the statutory financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.


Table of Contents

Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America

As described in Note 1 to the statutory financial statements, the statutory financial statements are prepared by the Company using the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Nebraska Department of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of the State of Nebraska Department of Insurance. The effects on the statutory financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

Responsibilities of Management for the Statutory Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statutory financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Nebraska Department of Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of statutory financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the statutory financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the statutory financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the statutory financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

   

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statutory financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the statutory financial statements.

 

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.


Table of Contents
   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the statutory financial statements.

 

   

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Report on Supplemental Schedules

Our 2023 audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 2023 statutory financial statements as a whole. The supplemental schedule of investment risk interrogatories, the supplemental summary investment schedule, and the supplemental schedule of selected financial data as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the 2023 statutory financial statements. These schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory financial statements. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 2023 statutory financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such schedules directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory financial statements or to the statutory financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2023 statutory financial statements as a whole.

Table of Contents

The Company holds separate account assets which represent funds held for the benefit of contract holders under specific life and annuity contracts. In accordance with the products recorded within the separate account, assets are legally insulated from the general account.

Basis of Presentation—The Company has prepared the accompanying statutory financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Nebraska Department of Insurance (“NDOI”). The state of Nebraska has adopted the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) statutory accounting principles (“NAIC SAP”) as the basis of its statutory accounting practices. The Director of the NDOI has the right to permit other specific practices that may deviate from NAIC SAP. The Company does not utilize any permitted practices however, there is an impact on its results of operations and surplus from the prescribed practices followed by its subsidiaries Companion and Omaha Re as discussed in Note 7.

The accompanying statutory financial statements vary in some respects from those that would be presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The most significant differences include:

 

  a.

Bonds are stated at amortized cost using the effective yield method, except for certain bonds with an NAIC designation of 6, which are stated at lower of amortized cost or fair value, while under GAAP, they may be stated at amortized cost or fair value.

 

  b.

An other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) exists for NAIC SAP on a loan-backed or structured security if fair value is less than the amortized cost basis and the Company has the intent to sell, does not have the intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis, or the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis. For all other securities on an NAIC SAP basis, an OTTI is recognized if it is probable that the reporting entity will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security in effect at the date of acquisition or since the last OTTI. An OTTI results in a direct write-down to the carrying amount on an NAIC SAP basis. An OTTI exists for GAAP if the present value of a security’s cash flows expected to be collected is less than its amortized cost basis amount, with the credit loss limited by the amount that the fair value of the security is less than amortized cost. An OTTI is recorded to an allowance for credit losses for GAAP.

 

  c.

A mortgage loan is impaired for NAIC SAP when it is probable that an entity will be unable to collect all amounts as contractually due. Impairments are generally determined on an individual basis. For GAAP, a mortgage loan is stated at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses to present the net amount expected to be collected over the contractual term of the loan. Collectability is measured on a collective basis for assets with similar risk characteristics.

 

  d.

For NAIC SAP, a debt restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the Company has granted a concession it would not otherwise consider. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as a change of the interest rate to a below market rate, a forgiveness of principal or interest, an extended repayment period (maturity date) at a contractual interest rate lower than the current interest rate for new debt with similar risk, or capitalization and deferral of interest payments. The accounting for a TDR is at the fair value of assets received. The concept of TDR does not exist for GAAP.

Table of Contents
  e.

Perpetual preferred stocks are stated at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in unrealized gains (losses) while under GAAP, perpetual preferred stocks are generally stated at their fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. In addition, under GAAP, certain investments in perpetual preferred stocks and other equity investments without readily determinable fair values for which the Company has elected a measurement alternative are stated at cost adjusted for price changes in observable transactions in the same or similar instruments of the same issuer and for impairments. Redeemable preferred stocks are stated at amortized cost; except for redeemable preferred stocks that are NAIC rated 4 through 6, which are stated at lower of amortized cost or fair value. Under GAAP, preferred stocks that are redeemable mandatorily or at the option of the holder are generally stated at their fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income in equity.

 

  f.

Limited partnerships are stated at the underlying audited GAAP equity value with the change in valuation reflected in unassigned surplus on an NAIC SAP basis. Income distributions from the limited partnerships are reported as net investment income and included in net investment income and amortization of interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) on the statutory statements of operations on an NAIC SAP basis. Under GAAP, the change in valuation and the income distributions are reflected in either net investment income or as a realized capital gain or loss depending on the underlying investments.

 

  g.

Under NAIC SAP, derivative instruments that meet the criteria of an effective hedge are valued and reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. The change in fair value of derivative instruments that do not meet the criteria of an effective hedge are recorded as a change in net unrealized capital gains (losses), a component of unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, all derivatives are reported on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded through either income or equity, depending on the nature of the hedge, while changes in fair value of derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded through income.

 

  h.

Acquisition costs, such as commissions and other costs directly related to acquiring new business, are charged to operations as incurred, while under GAAP, to the extent associated with successful sales and recoverable from future policy revenues, are deferred and amortized to income as premiums are earned or in relation to estimated gross profits.

 

  i.

NAIC SAP requires an amount to be recorded for deferred taxes as a component of surplus; however, there are limitations as to the amount of deferred tax assets (“DTA”) that may be reported as admitted assets that are not applicable under GAAP. Federal income tax provision is required on a current basis for the statutory statements of operations, the same as for GAAP.

 

  j.

NAIC SAP policy reserves for life insurance contracts, not subject to Principle Based Reserves (“PBR”), and annuities are based on mortality, lapse, and interest assumptions prescribed or permitted by state statutes. NAIC SAP policy reserves for life insurance contracts, that are subject to PBR, are based on mortality, lapse, and interest assumptions that are prescribed or are prudent estimates based upon the industry and/or company experience as prescribed by Valuation Manual-20: Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Life Products (“VM-20”). For health and accident active life insurance contracts, mortality and interest assumptions are prescribed, and the morbidity and lapse assumptions are Company estimates within statutory limitations. The effect on reserves, if any, due to a change in valuation basis, is recorded directly to unassigned surplus rather than included in the determination of net income (loss) from operations. GAAP policy reserves are based on the Company’s estimates of morbidity, mortality, lapse, and interest assumptions.

 

- 11 -


Table of Contents
  k.

The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) and IMR are established only on the statutory financial statements.

 

  l.

Assets are reported under NAIC SAP at admitted asset value and nonadmitted assets are excluded through a charge to surplus, while under GAAP, nonadmitted assets are reinstated to the balance sheet, net of any valuation allowance.

 

  m.

Premium receipts and benefits on universal life-type contracts and deferred annuities are recorded as income and expense under NAIC SAP. Under GAAP, revenues on universal life-type contracts and deferred annuities are comprised of contract charges and fees that are recognized when assessed against the policyholder account balance. In addition, certain of the revenue, as defined under deposit accounting, is deferred and amortized to income over the expected life of the contract using the product’s estimated gross profits, similar to acquisition costs. Premium receipts and benefits paid are considered deposits and withdrawals, respectively, and are recorded as or against interest-bearing liabilities.

 

  n.

Reinsurance recoverables on unpaid losses are reported as a reduction of policy reserves under NAIC SAP, while under GAAP, they are reported as an asset.

 

  o.

Comprehensive income and its components are not presented on the statutory financial statements.

 

  p.

Subsidiaries included as common stocks are stated under the equity method, with the equity in the operating results of subsidiaries credited or charged directly to the Company’s surplus for NAIC SAP. Dividends received from subsidiaries are recorded in net investment income and included in net investment income and amortization of IMR on the statutory statements of operations. GAAP requires either consolidation or equity method reporting with operating results of subsidiaries reflected on the statements of operations.

 

  q.

For loss contingencies, when no amount within management’s estimate of the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the midpoint of the range is accrued. Under GAAP, the minimum amount in the range is accrued.

 

  r.

Gains on economic transactions with related parties, defined as arm’s-length transactions, resulting in the transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership, are transferred at fair value and the gain is deferred until the assets are sold to a third party under NAIC SAP. While under GAAP, the transaction and any related gain is eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications—Certain amounts in the prior period statutory financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period statutory financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the

previously reported financial results.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of statutory financial statements in accordance with NAIC SAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statutory financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions include those used in determining investment valuation in the absence of quoted market values, impairments, policy reserves for life insurance contracts, policy reserves for health and accident active life, policy and contract claims-life and health reserves, income tax expense, and deferred taxes.

Table of Contents

The process of determining fair value and recoverability of an asset relies on projections of future cash flows, operating results, and market conditions. Projections are inherently uncertain, and accordingly, actual future cash flows may differ materially from projected cash flows. As a result, the Company’s asset valuations are susceptible to the risk inherent in making such projections.

Due to the length and complexity of life insurance contracts and annuities and the risks involved, policy reserves calculated using regulatory prescribed or permitted methods and assumptions are often not closely related to the economic liability for the benefits and options promised to policyholders. Reserves are determined using prescribed mortality tables and interest rate assumptions. Prescribed lapse assumptions are permitted on certain universal life-type contracts. Certain guarantees embedded in the contracts are defined formulaically. Reserves for life policies and contracts that are subject to PBR are calculated using prescribed or prudent estimates as prescribed by VM-20. Actual mortality, lapse, and interest rates, and the nature of the guarantees will differ from prescribed assumptions and definitions.

Due to the nature of health insurance and accident active life contracts and the risks involved, health and accident active life reserves are estimates. These reserves are calculated using Company estimated morbidity assumptions and prescribed mortality, and interest rate assumptions. Lapse assumptions are permitted in certain situations subject to limitations for certain products. Actual morbidity, mortality, lapse, and interest rates may differ from valuation assumptions.

Claim reserves are estimated based upon the industry and/or company experience and other actuarial assumptions that consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends, and risk management programs. Revisions of these estimates are reflected in operations in the year they are made.

Investments—Investments are reported according to valuation procedures prescribed by the NAIC.

Bonds are stated at amortized cost using the effective yield method, except for certain bonds with an NAIC designation of 6, which are stated at lower of amortized cost or fair value.

Premiums and discounts on loan-backed bonds and structured securities are amortized using the prospective or retrospective method based on anticipated prepayments from the date of purchase.

Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed securities are based on information obtained from brokers or internal estimates based on original term sheets, offer memoranda, historical performance, or other forecasts. Changes in estimated cash flows due to changes in estimated prepayments are accounted for using the prospective method for impaired securities and securities valued based on an index, and the retrospective method for all other securities.

Preferred stocks include perpetual preferred and redeemable preferred stocks. Perpetual preferred stocks are stated at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in unrealized gains (losses). Redeemable preferred stocks are stated at amortized cost; except for redeemable preferred stocks that are NAIC rated 4 through 6, which are stated at lower of amortized cost or fair value.

Table of Contents

Common stocks of unaffiliated companies are generally stated at fair value, common stocks of affiliated insurance companies, excluding Omaha Re, are stated at their audited statutory equity value. Omaha Re is a wholly owned special purpose financial captive life insurance subsidiary domiciled in the State of Nebraska and is stated at its audited statutory equity less an admitted other security asset value-excess of loss for which Omaha Re has a NDOI prescribed practice. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of Omaha Re is zero. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, Medicare Advantage Company is stated at its respective statutory surplus and is 100% nonadmitted. Common stocks of affiliated non-insurance companies are stated at their GAAP equity value. The Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) capital stocks are stated at fair value, presumed to be par. Changes in the carrying values are recorded as a change in net unrealized capital gain (loss), a component of unassigned surplus on the statutory statements of changes in surplus. Dividends are reported in net investment income and amortization of IMR on the statutory statements of operations.

Mortgage loans held for investment are stated at the aggregate unpaid principal balance adjusted for unamortized premium or discount, except impaired loans. Impaired loans are stated at the lower of the amortized cost or the fair value of the loan determined by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell if collateral dependent. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance based on the loan’s contractual interest rate. The Company records a reserve for losses on mortgage loans as part of the AVR.

The Company calculates specific reserves on loans individually identified as impaired. Loans evaluated individually are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect principal or interest amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Interest income earned on impaired loans is accrued on the principal amount of the loan based on the loan’s contractual interest rate until the loans are in non-accrual status. Cash payments on loans where the accrual of interest has ceased are applied directly to the unpaid principal balance until such time as management determines that it is probable all principal amounts will be recovered.

Loans are reviewed on an individual basis to identify charge-offs. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, are deducted from the allowance. Mortgage loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received when contractually due. All mortgage loans are in non-accrual status when payments are determined to be uncollectible. Mortgage loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due have been brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

A mortgage loan is considered a TDR if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the Company has granted a concession it would not otherwise consider. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as a change of the interest rate to a below market rate, a forgiveness of principal or interest, an extended repayment period (maturity date) at a contractual interest rate lower than the current interest rate for new debt with similar risk, or capitalization and deferral of interest payments.

Table of Contents

Real estate, excluding real estate held for sale, is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, generally forty years, of the related assets. Real estate held for sale is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value less encumbrances and estimated costs to sell. Real estate held for sale consists of certain current home office properties that the Company plans on disposing of during its ongoing new home office construction project. The Company did not have any impairment loss for investments in real estate for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company impaired home office/central service building assets. The assets were analyzed for fair value and impairment in relation to a development agreement and the construction of a new home office. The amount of the impairment was $30,007,671 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The fair value was based on a contract with an outside party, which outlined a fair value of $5,000,000 for both buildings for the year ended December 31, 2022. The impairment is included in real estate occupied by the Company on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus.

Contract loans are loans to a policyholder, under the provisions of an insurance contract that are secured by the cash surrender value or collateral assignment of the related policy or contract. Contract loans are stated at the unpaid balance of the loan and include any unpaid principal plus accrued interest which is 90 days or more past due.

Cash equivalents are highly liquid debt securities whose remaining maturities at the time of acquisition is three months or less. Cash equivalents, including money market mutual funds, are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Short-term investments include related party notes, if applicable, and investments whose remaining maturities at the time of purchase are three months to one year and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, if applicable.

The Company has securities lending agreements whereby unrelated parties, primarily large brokerage firms, borrow securities from the Company. The Company requires a minimum of 102% of the fair value of the domestic securities, loaned at the outset of the contract as collateral. The Company continues to retain control over and receive interest on loaned securities, and accordingly, the loaned securities continue to be reported as bonds. The securities loaned are on open terms and can be returned to the Company on the next business day requiring a return of the collateral. Collateral received is invested in cash equivalents and securities, and the Company records a corresponding liability for the collateral which is included in borrowings and securities lending on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus. The Company cannot access the collateral unless the borrower fails to deliver loaned securities. To further minimize the credit risks related to this securities lending program, the Company regularly monitors the financial condition of counterparties to these agreements and also receives an indemnification from the financial intermediary who structures the transactions.

The Company has repurchase agreements whereby unrelated parties, primarily major brokerage firms, borrow securities from the Company. The Company requires a minimum of 95% of the fair value of the securities loaned at the outset of the contract as collateral. The Company continues to retain control over and receive interest on loaned securities, and accordingly, the repurchase agreement securities continue to be reported as bonds. Cash collateral received is invested in cash equivalents and securities, and the Company records a corresponding liability for the collateral which is included in borrowings and securities lending on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus.

Other invested assets include the Company’s investments in derivatives, receivables for securities, affiliated and unaffiliated joint ventures, affiliated and unaffiliated LIHTC, and surplus notes.

Affiliated and unaffiliated joint ventures are stated at their underlying GAAP equity, which approximates fair value, with a one-quarter lag adjusted for all capital distributions, cash distributions, and impairment charges for the quarter with changes recorded in net unrealized capital gains (losses), a component of unassigned surplus. Fair values of the affiliated joint ventures are determined using the underlying audited GAAP financial statements or audited trust statement value. Distributions of income from these affiliated and unaffiliated joint ventures are recorded in net investment income and included in net investment income and amortization of IMR on the statutory statements of operations. The total investment in affiliated and unaffiliated joint ventures was $827,801,003 and $785,481,093 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Of that amount, $2,080,261 was nonadmitted as of December 31, 2023. There were no affiliated or unaffiliated joint ventures nonadmitted as of December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying value of UM Holdings is zero. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s total investment in affiliated and unaffiliated federal and unaffiliated state LIHTCs, stated at proportional amortized cost, was $51,079,358 and $58,138,089, respectively. The number of remaining years of unexpired tax credits and the required holding period for the LIHTC investments as of December 31, 2023 are 8 and 13 years, respectively. The amount of LIHTC and other tax benefits recognized during 2023 and 2022 was $10,704,412 and $12,394,139, respectively.

Investments in surplus notes are stated at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s investment in surplus notes was $115,033,342 and $96,903,247, respectively.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to market volatility associated with assets held or liabilities incurred and to change the characteristics of the Company’s asset/liability mix, consistent with the Company’s risk management activities. Derivatives generally include swaps-foreign exchange, interest rate swaps, and purchase options-other call options and warrants. When derivative financial instruments meet specific criteria, they may be designated as accounting hedges and accounted for on an amortized cost basis, in a manner consistent with the item hedged. Derivative financial instruments that are not designated as accounting hedges are accounted for on a fair value basis with changes recorded in net unrealized capital gains (losses), a component of unassigned surplus, and nonadmitted. Interest on swaps-foreign exchange, interest rate swaps, and purchase options-other call options and warrants is included in net investment income and amortization of IMR on the statutory statements of operations.

The Company uses currency swaps-foreign exchange, when applicable, to hedge the foreign currency risk on debt issues that are payable in a currency other than U.S. dollars. Swaps-foreign exchange transactions generally involve the exchange of funds received in the course of principal and interest collections on securities denominated in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars at a predetermined rate. The Company designates certain of its swaps-foreign exchange as cash flow hedges when they are highly effective in offsetting the exposure of variations in cash flows for the hedged item. Gains and losses resulting from early termination of swaps-foreign exchange transactions that use hedge accounting are deferred and amortized over the remaining period originally covered by the swap. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value on swaps-foreign exchange that do not use hedge accounting are reported as unrealized gains (losses), a component of unassigned surplus.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of interest rate volatility due to timing. Under an interest rate swap, the Company pays a one-time premium to the counterparty while the counterparty agrees to deliver at expiration, the value based on the current interest rate. Realized gains or losses resulting from unwinds are recognized through IMR. As these instruments contemplate hedging of interest rate risk, so any realized gains or losses would be recognized in IMR. For contracts such as interest rate swaps, the resulting gain or loss would be deferred and amortized through the original stated maturity of the derivative.

The Company uses purchase options-other call options and warrants to hedge the risk of the crediting rates on indexed universal life (“IUL”) policies. Under purchase options-other call options and warrants, the Company pays a one-time premium to the counterparty while the counterparty agrees to deliver at expiration, the value based on the S&P 500. Gains and losses resulting from early termination of purchased options-hedging other-call options and warrants transactions that use hedge accounting are deferred and amortized over the remaining period originally covered by the purchase option. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value on purchased options-hedging other-call options and warrants that do not use hedge accounting are reported as unrealized gains (losses), a component of unassigned surplus.

All derivatives’ market values change along with the underlying assets, currencies, and equity prices. The market value of purchased options-other call options and warrants cannot be less than zero and the market value of swaps can be less than zero. The Company may be required to post collateral, often in the form of cash against swaps with negative values.

For interest rate swaps and swaps-foreign exchange, the Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the amount of the net present value (“NPV”) of forecasted future cash flows for each swap leg in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. For purchase options-other call options and warrants, the Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the amount of the option payoff amount in the event of a nonperformance by the counterparty. Counterparty risk is continually monitored along with criteria related to collateral requirements that are specified in the credit support annex of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association. Due to the investment grade rating of the counterparty, credit-related losses are considered to be very unlikely. Counterparty credit risk is further reduced by daily collateral postings.

Net investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends and is included in net investment income and amortization of IMR on the statutory statements of operations. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded as earned at the ex-dividend rate. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) is determined on the effective yield method based on estimated principal repayments. Accrual of income is suspended when securities are in default or when the receipt of interest payments is in doubt. Realized capital gains (losses) on the sale of investments are determined on the specific identification basis. The gross asset and net admitted asset amount for interest income due and accrued was $258,192,748 and $207,503,781 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was not any aggregate deferred interest, investment income due and accrued excluded from surplus, or cumulative amounts of paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest included in the cumulative principal balance.

Table of Contents

Investment income due and accrued for which it is probable the balance is uncollectible is written off and charged to investment income and included in net investment income and amortization of IMR on the statutory statements of operations. Investment income due and accrued deemed collectible on mortgage loans in default that is more than 180 days past due is nonadmitted. All other investment income due and accrued deemed collectible that is more than 90 days past due is nonadmitted. The Company accrues interest income on an impaired security to the extent it is deemed collectible and the security continues to perform under its restricted contractual terms. Interest income on a non-performing security is generally recognized on a cash basis.

Separate Accounts Assets—The assets of the separate accounts on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus are stated at fair value and consist primarily of common collective trusts held by the Company for the benefit of contract holders under specific individual annuity and life insurance contracts and group annuity contracts. Separate account assets are segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company. Deposits and premiums received from, and benefits paid to separate account contract holders are reflected on the statutory statements of operations, net of reinsurance, but are offset by transfers to and from the separate account. Mortality, policy administration, and surrender charges from all separate accounts are included in other income on the statutory statements of operations.

Policy Reserves—Policy reserves include life insurance contracts and annuity reserves, health and accident active life reserves, unearned premium reserves for health contracts, and reserves for deposit-type contracts.

Life insurance contract reserves provide amounts adequate to discharge estimated future obligations in excess of estimated future net premiums on policies in force. Reserves for individual life insurance that are not subject to PBR are valued using the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method (“CRVM”), a net level premium method (“NLPM”), or other modified reserve methods, with prescribed mortality and interest rates. Reserves for life insurance that are subject to PBR are valued under the net premium reserve (“NPR”), deterministic reserve, or the stochastic reserve under VM-20, with prescribed interest rates. Mortality assumptions used under the NPR are based on the 2017 CSO mortality tables. The assumptions used for deterministic and stochastic reserve are the prudent estimate assumptions with margins developed internally, as required by VM-20. Reserves for individual fixed annuities and life contingent supplementary contracts are calculated using the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method, with prescribed interest rates. Group annuity reserves are valued using a net single premium method, with prescribed interest rates.

Health and accident active life reserves provide amounts estimated to adequately discharge estimated future obligations in excess of estimated future net premiums on policies in force. Such reserves are based on statutory mortality and interest assumptions. Morbidity assumptions are either industry experience or a blend of industry and Company experience. Voluntary lapse assumptions, when applicable, are based on Company experience with statutory limitations. Such reserves are calculated on a NLPM or on a one- or two-year preliminary term basis.

Unearned premium reserves reflect premiums paid or due to the Company prior to the statutory financial statement date, for the contract period subsequent to the statutory financial statement date.

Reserves for deposit-type contracts are equal to deposits received and interest credited to the benefit of contract holders, less withdrawals that represent a return to the contract holder. Reserves for annuities certain and supplementary contracts in payout status without life contingencies are calculated using a NLPM.

Table of Contents

The tabular interest, tabular less actual reserve released, and tabular cost are determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions or from the basic data for such items. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies is equal to the end of year reserve balance, less beginning of year reserve balance, less deposits received during the year, less other net change in reserves, plus fees and other charges assessed, plus surrender charges, plus net surrender and withdrawal payments, plus other net transfers to or from separate accounts, as prescribed.

Claim Reserves—Policy and contract claim reserves-life include the amounts estimated for claims that have been reported but not settled and estimates for claims incurred but not reported. The liabilities are continually reviewed and adjustments are reflected in the year they are made. Claim adjustment expenses are accrued and included in general expenses and taxes due or accrued on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus.

Policy and contract claim reserves-health include disabled life reserves that reflect amounts that are either not yet due or yet to arise on claims incurred with a continuing loss. Such reserves are based on statutory interest and claim termination rates based on either industry or a blend of the Company and industry experience in compliance with statutory requirements. Revisions of these estimates are reflected in operations in the year they are made.

Unpaid claim liabilities include the amounts estimated for claims that have been reported but not settled and estimates for claims incurred but not reported. Such reserves are estimated based upon the Company’s and affiliates’ historical experience and other actuarial assumptions that consider the effects of current developments, payment patterns, membership patterns, anticipated trends, claim utilization, product changes, risk management programs, and other factors. The liabilities are continually reviewed and changes are reflected in the year they are made.

Reinsurance—In the normal course of business, the Company assumes and cedes insurance business from its affiliates and unrelated third parties in order to limit its maximum loss, provide greater diversification of risk, minimize exposures on larger risks, expand certain business lines, and manage capital. The ceding of insurance business does not discharge an insurer from its primary legal liability to a policyholder. The Company remains liable to the extent that a reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are reviewed for collectibility and length of time overdue on a quarterly basis. Amounts deemed uncollectible are written off through a charge to the statutory statements of operations when the uncollectibility of amounts recoverable from reinsurers is confirmed. Balances are included on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus and the statutory statements of operations, net of reinsurance, except for commissions and expense allowances on reinsurance ceded which are shown as income.

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are based upon assumptions consistent with those used in establishing the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Management believes the amounts recoverable are appropriately established.

Premiums due under reinsurance agreements are reported as negative uncollected premium in premiums deferred and uncollected on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus. Experience refunds due under reinsurance agreements are reported as reinsurance recoverable on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus.

Federal Income Taxes—The provision for income taxes includes amounts paid and accrued. The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. and several state jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the Company’s income tax expense, DTAs, and deferred tax liabilities (“DTL”).

Deferred taxes are recognized to the extent there are differences between the statutory and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on DTAs and DTLs is recognized in surplus in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred taxes are also recognized for carryforward items including net operating loss, capital loss, and charitable contributions. NAIC SAP requires that temporary differences and carryforward items be identified and measured. Deductible temporary differences and carryforward amounts that generate tax benefits when they reverse or are utilized are tax affected in determining the DTA. Taxable temporary differences include items that will generate tax expense when they reverse and are tax affected in determining the DTL.

In the determination of the amount of the DTA that can be recognized and admitted, the NAIC SAP requires that DTAs be limited to an amount that is expected to be realized in the future based on an analysis of the Company’s temporary differences, past financial history, and future earnings projections. The net admitted DTA shall not exceed the excess of the adjusted gross DTA over the gross DTL. The adjusted gross DTA shall be admitted based upon three separately determined components: i) an amount of taxes paid in prior years which may be recovered through loss carrybacks of existing temporary differences that are expected to reverse within three years from the reporting date; ii) an amount that is limited to the lesser of future deductible temporary differences and carryforward amounts that are expected to be realized within three years from the reporting date, or 15% of adjusted capital and surplus; and iii) an amount where the adjusted gross DTA equals the DTL.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with NAIC SAP for those instances where it determines that a tax loss contingency meets a more-likely-than-not threshold based on the technical merits. If the estimated loss contingency is greater than 50% of the tax benefit originally recognized, the entire benefit originally recognized is reported as the tax loss contingency. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to uncertain tax positions and penalties as federal income tax expense. The liability for uncertain tax positions and the associated interest liability, if any, are included in general expenses and taxes due or accrued on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus.

Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve—The Company establishes certain reserves under NAIC guidelines. The AVR is determined by formula and is based on the Company’s investments in bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks-affiliated, common stocks-unaffiliated, mortgage loans, real estate occupied by the Company, real estate held for sale by the Company, short-term investments, derivative instruments, and other invested assets. This valuation reserve requires appropriation of surplus to provide for possible losses on these investments. Realized and unrealized capital gains (losses), other than those resulting from interest rate changes, are credited or charged to the AVR.

Table of Contents

The IMR is used to defer realized capital gains (losses), net of tax, on sales of bonds and certain other investments that result from interest rate changes. These gains (losses) are then amortized into net investment income, included in net investment income and amortization of IMR on the statutory statements of operations, over what would have been the remaining years to maturity of the underlying investments. Losses in excess of gains are recorded as an admitted asset up to 10% of the Company’s prior period general account adjusted capital and surplus. The prior period general account adjusted capital and surplus is calculated by excluding, if applicable, any positive goodwill, electronic data processing (“EDP”) equipment and operating system software, net DTA, and admitted disallowed IMR.

Net Premiums and Annuity Considerations and Related Commissions—Net life premiums are recognized as income over the premium-paying period of the policies. Net health and accident premiums are recognized as income over the terms of the policies. Annuity considerations are recognized as income when received. Considerations received on deposit-type funds, which do not contain any life contingencies, are recorded directly to the related liability. Commissions and other expenses related to the acquisition of policies are charged to operations as incurred.

Nonadmitted Assets—Certain assets designated as nonadmitted assets, principally net deferred tax assets and suspense items, are excluded from the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus. The net change in such assets is charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus.

Vulnerability Due to Certain Risks and Concentrations—The following is a description of the most significant risks facing life and health insurers and how the Company manages those risks:

Morbidity/mortality risk is the risk that experience is unfavorable compared to Company assumptions due to misestimation in setting assumptions, catastrophic risk (e.g. pandemic), volatility, and changes in trend. The Company mitigates these risks through reinsurance programs, adherence to strict underwriting guidelines, monitoring underwriting exceptions, and a formal assumption review and approval process.

Legal/regulatory risk is the risk that changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which an insurer operates will occur and create additional costs or expenses not anticipated by the insurer in pricing its products. The Company monitors economic and regulatory developments that have the potential to impact its business.

Interest rate risk is the risk that interest rates will change and cause a decrease in the value of an insurer’s investments or cause changes in policyholder behavior resulting in changes in asset or liability cash flows. The Company mitigates this risk through various asset-liability management techniques, including duration matching and matching the maturity schedules of its assets with the expected payouts of its liabilities. To the extent that liabilities come due more quickly than assets mature, the Company may have to sell assets prior to maturity and recognize a gain or loss.

Credit risk is the risk that issuers of securities owned by the Company will default, or that other parties, including reinsurers who owe the Company money, will not pay. The Company has policies regarding the financial stability and credit standing of its counterparties. The Company attempts to limit its credit risk by dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining collateral where appropriate.

Liquidity risk is the risk that a given security or asset cannot be traded quickly enough in the market to prevent a loss, generate cash to meet funding requirements, or make a required profit. The Company has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework to evaluate current and future funding and liquidity requirements. Future liquidity requirements are projected on a regular basis as part of the financial planning process.

Premiums Received in Advance—Premiums received in advance are those premiums that have been received by the Company prior to year end but which were due after year end. The total amount of advanced premiums is reported as a liability on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus and is not considered premium income until due.

Fair Value—Financial assets and liabilities have been categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy, based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset or liability’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to valuation. The input levels are as follows:

Level 1—Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets or liabilities. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and are used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2—Fair value is based on significant inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, and other market observable inputs. Valuations are generally obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities and validated or determined through use of valuation methodologies using observable market inputs.

Level 3—Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Prices are determined using valuation methodologies such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and other similar techniques.

Other-Than-Temporary Declines in Fair Value—The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio for factors that may indicate that a decline in fair value of an investment is other-than-temporary. Some factors considered in evaluating whether or not a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary include the Company’s ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in value, the Company’s intent to sell the investment at the reporting date, and the financial condition and prospects of the issuer.

The Company recognizes OTTI of bonds not backed by loans when it is either probable that the Company will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the bond in effect at the date of acquisition or when the Company has made a decision to sell the bond prior to its maturity at an amount below its amortized cost. When an OTTI is recognized, the bond is written down to fair value and the amount of the write down is recorded as a realized capital gain (loss) on the statutory statements of operations.

For loan-backed securities, OTTI is recognized when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis and the Company has the intent to sell or lacks the intent and ability to retain the investment until recovery. When an OTTI is recognized because the Company has the intent to sell or lacks the intent

Table of Contents

and ability to retain the investment until recovery, the amortized cost basis of the loan-backed security is written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down is recorded as a realized capital gain (loss) on the statutory statements of operations.

If the Company does not have the intent to sell and has the intent and ability to retain the investment until recovery, OTTI is recognized when the present value of future cash flows discounted at the security’s effective interest rate is less than the amortized cost basis as of the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus date. When an OTTI is recognized, the loan-backed security is written down to the discounted estimated future cash flows and is recorded as a realized capital gain (loss) on the statutory statements of operations.

The Company recognizes OTTI of stocks for declines in value that are other-than-temporary and reports those adjustments as a realized capital gain (loss) on the statutory statements of operations.

The Company recognizes OTTI of limited partnerships generally when the underlying GAAP equity of the partnership is less than 80% of amortized cost or the limited partnership reports realized capital losses on their statutory financial statements or shows other indicators of loss. When an OTTI is recognized, the limited partnership is written down to fair value and the amount of the impairment is recorded as a realized capital gain (loss) on the statutory statements of operations.

The Company performs a monthly analysis of the prices received from third parties to assess if the prices represent a reasonable estimate of fair value. This process involves quantitative and qualitative analysis and is overseen by investment and accounting professionals.

Correction of Errors—During 2023, the Company discovered an error in the trending of claim costs within the calculation of active life reserves within the Medicare supplement product, resulting in a prior year $6,311,701 understatement of health and accident active life reserves on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus, understatement of net change in reserves on the statutory statements of operations, and an overstatement of unassigned surplus on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus as of December 31, 2022. In accordance with SSAP No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors (“SSAP No. 3”), the impact of the error was recorded as an adjustment to unassigned surplus on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus in 2023.

During 2022, the Company discovered an error in the risk-free rates used in AG36 reserve calculations for the IUL product, resulting in a $4,486,889 overstatement of both life insurance contract and annuity reserves on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus, increase in net change in reserves on the statutory statements of operations, and a $4,486,889 understatement of unassigned surplus on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus as of December 31, 2021. In accordance with SSAP No. 3, the impact of this error was recorded as an adjustment to unassigned surplus on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus in 2022.

During 2021, the Company discovered errors in the settlement option parameters in a deferred fixed annuity product valuation model, resulting in a cumulative $13,395,650 net overstatement of reserves as of December 31, 2020. These prior year misstatements were not concluded to be material and therefore were corrected as of December 31, 2021, by decreasing life insurance contract and annuity reserves and increasing prior year adjustment in unassigned surplus on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus in accordance with SSAP No. 3 Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors.

Accounting Pronouncements—During 2022, the NAIC issued revisions to SSAP No. 86, Derivatives with Issue 2021-20 that modifies the determination of hedge effectiveness, the guidance for qualifying hedging relationships, and the presentation of hedge results. The guidance was effective January 1, 2023, and the effects of its adoption did not have a material impact.

In March of 2023, the NAIC issued revisions to SSAP No. 34, Investment Income Due and Accrued, to adopt additional disclosures that capture the gross, nonadmitted and admitted amounts of investment income due and accrued on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus, and to reflect the cumulative amount of PIK interest income included in the current principal balance. The revisions were effective for the Company on December 31, 2023. See Note 1 for the associated disclosures.

In August of 2023, the NAIC issued Interpretation 23-01 to provide a limited-time option to admit net negative (disallowed) IMR, provided the negative IMR is not the result of liquidity pressures, up to 10% of adjusted capital and surplus as described in the Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve section above. The Company elected to adopt this guidance. The impact of adoption was to increase surplus by $57,972,568 as of December 31, 2023. See Note 2 for the associated disclosures.

In August of 2023, the NAIC issued revisions to SSAP No. 26R, Bonds, and SSAP No. 43R, Loan-Backed and Structured Securities. The revised guidance updates the definition of a bond, revises the accounting for bonds, and revises various SSAPs to reflect the revised definition. The revisions are effective for the Company on January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its statutory financial statements.

In January of 2024, the NAIC issued Interpretation 23-04 that provides guidance for entities with balances ceded to Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc. (“SRUS”), a U.S.-based life reinsurer in liquidation, under reinsurance agreements, effective as of December 31, 2023. The guidance prescribes reporting requirements for amounts from SRUS reinsurance contracts. Receivables from SRUS unrelated to paid claims must be nonadmitted. The impact of adoption was a decrease to surplus for nonadmitted recoverables of $5,441,402. See Note 9 for the associated disclosures.

Table of Contents

A description of the significant inputs and valuation techniques used to determine fair value for Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities on a recurring basis is as follows:

Level 2 Measurements

U.S. Corporate—Price determined by an independent third-party source.

Common Stocks-Unaffiliated—These FHLB capital stocks are only redeemable at par, so the fair value is presumed to be par.

Derivative Assets—These derivatives are principally valued using an income approach. The valuation of these securities is based on present value techniques, which utilize significant inputs that may include implied volatility, swap yield curve, and repurchase rates.

Preferred Stocks—These securities are principally valued using the market approach. The valuation of these securities is based principally on observable inputs including quoted prices in markets that are not considered active.

Separate Accounts—Separate accounts are comprised primarily of common collective trusts which are valued based on independent pricing services. The pricing services, in general, employ a market approach to valuing portfolio investments using market prices from exchanges or matrix pricing when quoted prices are not available, and other relevant data inputs as necessary. When current market prices or pricing service quotations are not available, the trustees use contractual cash flows and other inputs to value the funds.

Level 3 Measurements

In general, investments classified within Level 3 use many of the same valuation techniques and inputs as described above. However, if key inputs are unobservable, or if the investments are illiquid and there is very limited trading activity, the investments are generally classified as Level 3. The use of independent non-binding broker quotations to value investments generally indicates there is a lack of liquidity or the general lack of transparency to develop the valuation estimates, causing these investments to be classified in Level 3.

U.S. Corporate—These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches with significant adjustments that utilize unobservable inputs or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including additional spread adjustments to reflect industry trends or specific credit-related issues. Valuations may be based on independent non-binding broker quotations. The use of independent non-binding broker quotations to value investments generally indicates there is a lack of liquidity or the general lack of transparency to develop the valuation estimates generally causing these investments to be classified in Level 3. Generally, below investment grade privately placed or distressed securities included in this level are valued using discounted cash flow methodologies which rely upon significant, unobservable inputs and inputs that cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities, Asset-Backed Securities, and All Other Governments—These securities are principally valued using the market approach. The valuation of these securities is based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques that utilize inputs that are unobservable or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, or are based on independent non-binding broker quotations.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Bonds—Fair values for bonds, including loan-backed securities, are based on quoted market prices, where available. For bonds for which market values are not readily available, fair values were estimated by the Company using projected future cash flows, current market rates, credit quality, and maturity date.

Preferred Stocks—Fair values for preferred stocks are based on market value, where available. For preferred stocks for which market values are not available, fair values were estimated by the Company using projected future cash flows, current market rates, credit quality, and maturity date. It is not practicable to measure the fair value in certain private preferred stocks and the carrying value approximates fair value.

Common Stocks-Unaffiliated—These securities are principally valued using the market approach. The valuation of these securities is based principally on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets. It is not practicable to measure the fair value in certain common stocks-unaffiliated when using the equity method and when measuring fair value in certain private stocks.

Mortgage Loans—Fair values for mortgage loans are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates for similar loans with similar credit risk.

Other Invested Assets-Surplus Notes—Fair values for other invested assets-surplus notes are based on quoted market prices for similar assets.

Contract Loans—Contract loans are stated at the aggregate unpaid balance plus any accrued interest which is 90 days or more past due. It is not practicable to determine fair value as contract loans are often repaid by reducing the policy benefits and have variable maturity dates. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the effective interest rates were 5.76% and 6.06%, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The carrying value for cash and other cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Short-Term Investments—The carrying value of short-term unsecured revolving credit notes approximates fair value and is included within Level 2 due to the internal nature and with no public market.

Securities Lending and Repurchase Agreement Cash Collateral, Other Liabilities-Derivative Cash Collateral, and Securities Lending and Repurchase Agreement Cash Collateral Liability—Comprised of U.S. Direct Obligation/Full Faith and Credit Exempt money market instruments, commercial paper, cash, and all highly-liquid debt securities purchased with an original maturity of less than three months. The money market instruments are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible for identical assets and are primarily classified as Level 1. If public quotations are not available for commercial paper or debt securities, because of the highly-liquid nature of these assets, the carrying value may be used to approximate fair value.

Other Invested Assets-Derivative Assets and Other Liabilities-Derivative Liabilities—These derivatives are principally valued using an income approach. The valuation of these securities is based on present value techniques and option pricing models, which utilize significant inputs that may include implied volatility, the swap yield curve, and repurchase rates.

Deposit-Type Contracts—Fair values of guaranteed interest contracts, annuities, and supplementary contracts without life contingencies in payout status are estimated by calculating an average present value of expected cash flows over a broad range of interest rate scenarios using the current market risk-free interest rates adjusted for spreads required for publicly traded bonds issued by comparably rated insurers. The carrying amount for all other deposit-type contracts approximates fair value.

Borrowings—Fair values of long-term FHLB borrowings are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates for debt with comparable terms and are included within Level 2. Fair values of short-term FHLB borrowings and other borrowings approximates carrying value and are included within Level 1. The carrying value of short-term unsecured revolving credit notes approximates fair value and is included within Level 2 due to the internal nature and with no public market.

The audited statutory surplus of the Company’s wholly owned insurance SCA, Omaha Re, reflects a departure from the NAIC SAP for a prescribed practice from the NDOI, which requires an excess of loss asset to be recorded as an admitted asset. The Company, however, has adjusted the investment in Omaha Re to be consistent with NAIC SAP, which does not allow the excess of loss asset to be an admitted asset.

Table of Contents

The Company has an investment in a New York domiciled insurance SCA, Companion for which the audited statutory surplus and income reflect a departure from NAIC SAP for accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services. The differences primarily relate to reserve valuations under New York Circular Letter 11 and New York Regulation 147 and Special Considerations Letter. In 2023, this decreased net income by $5,376,067 and decreased surplus $20,840,810. In 2022, this increased net income by $4,803,998 and decreased surplus $15,164,743. The Company’s investment in Companion was $85,063,056 and $80,273,717 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The investment would have been $105,903,866 and $95,438,460 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, without the prescribed or permitted practices. The RBC of Companion would not have triggered a regulatory event had it not used the prescribed or permitted practice above.

Effective March 24, 2023, the Company renewed a $250,000,000 bilateral unsecured revolving credit note from Mutual of Omaha. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement.

The Company has the following borrowing agreements available to affiliates as of December 31, 2023, which are substantially similar to the agreements held in the prior year, unless otherwise noted. All of the outstanding borrowings due to the Company are included in short-term investments on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus.

The agreement covers policies issued from January 1, 2003 through September 30, 2013. A second reinsurance agreement with Omaha Re was executed in 2016 and amended in 2017, ceding certain term life insurance policies issued from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2017. The 2017 amendment allows for certain term policies issued through December 31, 2019 to be ceded subject to certain limits. Both agreements provide coinsurance to the Company on an indemnity basis for all liabilities arising from the life insurance policies covered under each agreement and are accounted for on a funds withheld basis. There were no amendments to the agreement with Omaha Re during 2023 or 2022.

The current agreement complies with NAIC Actuarial Guideline XLVIII (“AG48”). This agreement cedes policies that meet the definition of Covered Policies as that term is defined in Section 4 of AG48. Funds consisting of Primary Security, in an amount at least equal to the Required Level of Primary Security, are held by the Company on a funds withheld basis. Funds consisting of Other Security, in an amount equal to the portion of the statutory reserves as to which Primary Security is not held, are held on behalf of the Company as security as part of the reinsurance arrangement.

Deferred gains are amortized into operations as earnings emerge from the business reinsured. During 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company amortized $26,862,909, $27,790,659, and $17,489,778, respectively.

The liabilities subject to this guarantee as of December 31, 2023 are $2,032,121,768. The initial liability recognition was exempted under SSAP No. 5R 18.g, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets, and the maximum potential amount of future payments cannot be estimated because Mutual Structured Settlement is still underwriting new business and the guarantee is essentially unlimited. There were no amounts paid under this agreement as of December 31, 2023 or 2022. Risk of performance is remote as 100% of the structured settlement liabilities are backed by a structured settlement annuity from the Company.

Various lawsuits have arisen in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Contingent liabilities arising from litigation, income taxes and other matters are not considered material in relation to the financial position of the Company.

During 2023 and 2022, incurred claims related to prior years were favorable on both an interest and non-interest adjusted basis primarily due to favorable runout within Medicare supplement, long-term care, and group health coverages. Also during 2022, the runout for other health products was in line with expectations.

The Company did not have any significant changes in methodologies or assumptions used in calculating the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses. A roll forward of the liability for claim adjustment expenses, included in general expenses and taxes due or accrued on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and surplus, as of December 31, was as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

United of Omaha Life Insurance Company

Omaha, Nebraska

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of each of the subaccounts of United of Omaha Separate Account B (the “Account”) listed in Note 2 as of December 31, 2023; the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended for each of the subaccounts, except for the subaccounts indicated in the table below, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the subaccounts listed in Note 2 constituting the Account as of December 31, 2023, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or for the periods listed in the table below), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Individual Subaccounts Comprising the

United of Omaha Separate Account B

  

Financial Highlights

Pioneer – Real Estate Shares VCT    For the period January 1, 2023 to April 28, 2023 and the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019
Morgan Stanley – VIF Core Plus Fixed Income    For the period January 1, 2023 to July 28, 2023 and the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Account’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


Table of Contents

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodians. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of asset and disclosures of assets at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions include those used in investment valuation in the absence of quoted market prices.

 

-19-


Table of Contents

Security Valuation and Related Investment Income - Investments are made in the portfolios of the Separate Account and are valued at the reported net asset values of such portfolios, which value their investment securities at fair value. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Income from dividends, and gains from realized gain distributions, are recorded on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined based on the average cost of investments sold.

The investments of the Separate Account and United of Omaha Separate Account C are jointly held in accounts with the investment managers.

Federal Income Taxes - Net taxable income or loss of the subaccounts of the Separate Account are included in the federal taxable income of United, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under current provisions of the IRC, United does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the subaccounts of the Separate Account to the extent that earnings are credited under the contracts. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the subaccounts of the Separate Account for federal income taxes. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts in the event of changes in the tax law.

As of December 31, 2023, there were no positions for which management believes it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of tax contingencies will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

Fair Value Measurements - Current fair value guidance requires financial instruments measured at fair value to be categorized into a three-level classification. The lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of a financial instrument is used to categorize the instrument and reflects the judgment of management. The valuation criteria is summarized as follows:

 

Level 1 -    Inputs are unadjusted and represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the measurement date.
Level 2 -    Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset through correlation with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3 -    Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset at the measurement date. Financial assets presented at fair value and categorized as Level 3 are generally those that are valued using unobservable inputs.

Each subaccount invests in shares of mutual funds, which calculate daily net asset value based on the value of the underlying securities in the portfolio. As such, the investments held in the Separate Account were valued using Level 2 inputs as defined by the applicable fair value guidance.

Payments Received from Contract Owners - In the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets, the line item “Payments received from contract owners” includes both deposits received from policyholders and net gains and losses resulting from the timing of executed trades.

Subsequent Events - Subsequent events have been evaluated through March 20, 2024, the date these financial statements were issued.

ACCOUNT CHARGES

Contract Maintenance Charges:

Cost of Insurance Charge - The cost of insurance charge on single premium variable life contracts is based on the accumulation value, contract year, and the insured’s rate class as follows:

 

Accumulation Value

   Preferred Rate Class     Standard Rate Class  
     Years 1 - 10     Years 11 and later     Years 1 - 10     Years 11 and later  

$45,000 or less

     0.70     0.60     1.30     0.94

Greater than $45,000

     0.60     0.50     1.20     0.84

The cost of insurance for flexible premium variable life contracts is based upon the age, sex, risk and rate class of the insured, the specific amount of insurance coverage and the length of time the contract has been inforce. The cost of insurance charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

Surrender Charge - Upon a total surrender, partial withdrawal or if the contract’s current specified amount of insurance coverage is decreased, United may deduct a surrender charge from the accumulation value based upon the amount of the decrease, issue age of contract owner, risk and rate class and duration the contract has been inforce. Surrender charges are applied as a percentage of premium surrendered or withdrawn and range between 0% and 9.5% or a stated dollar amount based upon the policy’s data pages depending on the product.

Transfer Fees - A transfer fee of $10 may be imposed for any non-systematic transfer in excess of twelve per contract year. The transfer is deducted from the amount transferred on the date of the transfer as a redemption of units.

Administrative Charges - United deducts a monthly charge through the redemption of units as compensation for the mortality and expense risks assumed by United. This charge is equal to an annual rate of 0.90% of the accumulation value on each monthly deduction date for single premium variable life contracts. Risk charges for flexible premium variable life contracts are equal to an annual rate of 0.70% of the accumulation value, decreasing to 0.55% of accumulation value (0.15% of accumulation value in excess of $25,000) after ten years. This charge is assessed through the redemption of units. United guarantees that the mortality and expense charge will not increase above these levels. For single premium variable life contracts, United deducts an administrative charge on each monthly deduction date through the redemption of units. This charge is set at an annual rate of 0.24% of the accumulation value on each monthly deduction date. The administrative charge for flexible premium variable life contracts is $84 per year. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Tax Expense Charge - For single premium variable life contracts, a tax expense charge is deducted as part of the monthly deduction from the accumulation value on each monthly deduction date for the first ten contract years to reimburse United for state premium taxes, federal deferred acquisition cost taxes, and related administrative expenses. The annual rate of this charge is 0.39% of the accumulation value and is assessed through the redemption of units. For flexible premium variable life contracts 3.75% of each contract premium payment is deducted to cover these expenses.

Cost of Riders - Riders are available at a cost based on insured’s age, sex, risk and rate class and benefit amount. These riders include additional insured, accidental death benefit and disability rider. A paid-up life insurance rider is available at a cost of 3% of the accumulation value on the date exercised. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

*

These ratios represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the distribution of dividends by the underlying portfolio in which the subaccount invests.

**

These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the Separate Account for each year indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying portfolio are excluded. There were no expenses that resulted in a direct reduction to unit values.

***

These ratios represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying portfolio, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the Separate Account. The total return is calculated for each year indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting year or liquidation date.
