Fifty-six subaccounts are currently offered by the Separate Account, all of which had activity.

Additionally, contract owners may direct the allocation of their premium payments and contract value between the Separate Account, the Guaranteed Interest Account (“GIA”) and/or the Market Value Adjusted Guaranteed Interest Account (“MVA”). The MVA was closed to new investment effective May 1, 2013.

PHL Variable and the Separate Account are subject to regulation by the State of Connecticut Department of Insurance and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from PHL Variable’s other asset and liabilities. Premium payments and contract value allocated by a contract owner to the GIA are not legally insulated and are subject to claims against PHL Variable’s general account assets.

Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Valuation

Investments in mutual fund shares are carried in the statements of net assets at market value (net asset value of the underlying mutual fund). Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized capital gains and losses on sales of investments are determined based on the average cost of investments sold. The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

Market Risk

Each subaccount invests in shares of a single underlying fund. The investment performance of each subaccount will reflect the investment performance of the underlying fund less separate account expenses. There is no assurance that the investment objective of any underlying fund will be met. A fund calculates a daily net asset value per share (“NAV”) which is based on the market value of its investment portfolio. The amount of risk varies significantly between subaccounts. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment portfolios, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment portfolios will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect contract holder’s investments in the funds and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets. The contract holder assumes all of the investment performance risk for the subaccounts selected.

Contracts in Payout (Annuitization) Period

Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout period are computed according to the 1983a Individual Annuitant Mortality Table, or Annuity 2000 Mortality Table depending on the particular product. The assumed interest return is also dependent on the particular product, and could range from 2.5 percent to 6 percent, as regulated by the laws of the respective states. During the payout period, the mortality risk is fully borne by PHL and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Separate Account from PHL to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated during the payout period exceed amounts required, transfers of excess amounts from the Separate Account may be made to PHL. These amounts will appear in the “Maintenance charges and mortality adjustments” of the Statements of Operations and Change in Net Assets.

Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Annuity Assets

Annuity Assets relate to contracts that have annuitized and are in the payout period. Such assets are computed on the basis of published mortality tables using assumed interest rates that will provide assets as prescribed by law. In cases where the payout option selected is life contingent, PHL periodically recalculates the required annuity assets, and any resulting adjustment is either charged or credited to PHL and not to the Separate Account.

The annuity assets for December 31, 2023 by subaccount are as follows:

Reinvestment of Dividends

Dividend and capital gain distributions paid by the mutual funds to the Separate Account are reinvested in additional shares of each respective fund. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Taxes

The operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of PHL, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Under the current provisions of the IRC, PHL does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Separate Account to the extent the earnings are credited under contracts. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. PHL will review periodically the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In applying these estimates and assumptions, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require assumptions about matters that are uncertain and inherently subject to change such as possibility for elevated mortality and investment market volatility.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price).

The Separate Account invests in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process contract holders directed purchases, sales and transfers on a daily basis at the funds’ computed net asset values (NAVs). The fair value of the Separate Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, which are obtained from the custodians and reflect the fair values of the mutual fund investments. The NAV is calculated daily and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities.

Because the fund provides liquidity for the investments through purchases and redemptions at NAV, this may represent the fair value of the investment in the fund. That is, for an open-ended mutual fund, the fair value of an investment in the fund would not be expected to be higher than the amount that a new investor would be required to spend in order to directly invest in the mutual fund. Similarly, the hypothetical seller of the investment would not be expected to accept less in proceeds than it could receive by directly redeeming its investment with the fund.

The Separate Account measures the fair value of its investment in the Fund on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Separate Account has the ability to access.

Table of Contents

PHL Variable Accumulation Account

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

• Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent observable inputs are not available, representing the Separate Account’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the assets or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Investments in Fund shares are valued using the reported net asset value of the respective Funds at the end of each New York Stock Exchange business day, as determined by the respective Funds. Investments held by the Separate Account are Level 1 within the hierarchy. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Separate Account had no financial liabilities as of December 31, 2023.

(‡) For the noted Fund, a total return fell outside of the disclosed range. The reason for this could be either a new product offering in the given year, and/ or units in a subaccount only invested for a partial period.

(1) The investment income ratios represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality

and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests.

(2) The expense ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the Separate Account for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction of unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner contracts through the redemption of units and expenses of the Fund have been excluded.

(3) These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the inception date through the end of the reporting period.

(4) Unit value information is calculated on a daily basis regardless of whether or not the subaccount has contract holders.

Note 8. Subsequent Events

The Separate Account has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that no items require recognition or disclosure.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of PHL Variable Insurance Company

and Contractor Owners of PHL Variable Accumulation Account:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the subaccounts listed in the Appendix that comprise PHL Variable Accumulation Account (the Separate Account) as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended (or for the period indicated in the Appendix), and the related notes including the financial highlights in Note 7 for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each subaccount as of December 31, 2023, the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended (or for the period indicated in the Appendix), and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 Separate 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.

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 are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the transfer agents of the underlying mutual funds. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
