REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors of 

CMFG Life Insurance Company and 

Contract Owners of CMFG Variable Annuity Account

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities for each of the subaccounts of CMFG Variable Annuity Account (the “Account”) listed in Appendix A, as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, financial highlights for each of the periods presented in Appendix A, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the ”financial statements and financial highlights”). In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the subaccounts constituting the Account as of December 31, 2025, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented in Appendix A, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

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.

 

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 its 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 securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the Account’s fund managers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The CMFG Variable Annuity Account (“the Account”) is a separate account of CMFG Life Insurance Company (“the Company”). The Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended.

 

The Account was established to receive and invest net premiums paid by the contract owners to the Company under four variable annuity contracts (“contracts”) issued by the Company: MEMBERS® Variable Annuity, MEMBERS® Variable Annuity II, MEMBERS® Choice Variable Annuity and MEMBERS® Variable Annuity III.

 

The Account is divided into a number of subaccounts, each of which is treated as an individual accounting entity for financial reporting purposes.

CMFG Variable Annuity Account

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(1) Organization (continued)

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Account is engaged in a single line of business as a registered unit investment trust and is divided into various subaccounts for variable annuity contracts with the assets owned by the contract owners. Each subaccount of the Account constitutes a single operating segment and therefore, is a single reportable segment because the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the activities of the Account using information of each subaccount. The Accounting policies of the segment are described within Note 2.

 

The subaccounts have identified the Executive Vice President, Chief Business Officer of the Company, as the CODM. The Account does not have employees and is not a separate legal entity. The CODM uses Increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations to measure performance in order to make operational decisions while monitoring the net assets of each of the subaccounts within the Account. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Total Net Assets. Refer to the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets for each subaccount’s performance measure. All assets and revenue are generated in the US and there is no contract owner with greater than 10% of the results for all periods presented.

 

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Account is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation

 

Investments are made in shares of a fund and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective fund. Investment transactions in each fund are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the fund are determined using the average cost basis. Income from dividends and gains from realized gain distributions from each fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are reinvested in that fund. The difference between cost and fair value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

The operations of the Account are included in the consolidated federal income tax return of CUNA Mutual Holding Company (“CMHC”), the Company’s ultimate parent, and its eligible subsidiaries. The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The Account’s activities are included in the Company’s taxable income. Under current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on recorded earnings or the realized capital gains attributed to the Account to the extent these earnings are credited to the contract owner’s account. Accordingly, no provision for income tax is currently recorded. If such taxes are incurred by the Company in the future, a tax provision may be recorded.

CMFG Variable Annuity Account

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(2) Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Contracts in Annuitization Period

 

Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout stage (annuitization period) are computed according to the 2000 Individual Annuity Mortality Table using an assumed investment return of 3.5%. The mortality risk arises because the Company bears the risk from contract riders, as described in Note 3, Fees and Charges, which may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Account by the Company to cover greater than expected longevity of annuitants. Conversely, if reserves exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Company.

 

(3) Fees and Charges

 

Contract Charges

 

Surrender Charge. A surrender charge is assessed against a contract owner’s account upon surrender or partial withdrawal of payments received from contract owners within the first seven years of the contract period and, in certain circumstances, surrender charges are waived upon payment of a death benefit or the election of certain annuity payment options.

 

For purchase payments withdrawn or surrendered within the first year of the contract, a charge of 7% to 9% of the amount of the payment withdrawn or surrendered is assessed depending on the product version chosen. The surrender charge decreases by 1% (or the noted percentage decrease outlined in the contract) for each full year that has elapsed since the purchase payment was recorded. No surrender charge is assessed upon the withdrawal or surrender of the contract value in excess of aggregate purchase payments or on purchase payments made more than seven years prior to the withdrawal or surrender. No surrender charge is assessed on purchase payments made more than four years prior to the withdrawal or surrender for one of the contract options of the MEMBERS® Variable Annuity III product. Subject to certain restrictions in each contract year, an amount equal to 10% of aggregate purchase payments subject to a surrender charge (as of the time of withdrawal or surrender) may be surrendered without a surrender charge. The surrender charge also may be waived in certain circumstances as provided in the contracts. These charges are deducted by redeeming an appropriate number of units for each contract and are included in contract charges and fees on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable subaccount.

 

Annual Contract Fee. On each contract anniversary prior to the annuity date, the Company deducts an annual contract fee of $30 from the contract owner’s account. After the annuity date, the Company deducts this fee from variable annuity payments. A pro-rated portion of the fee is deducted upon annuitization of a contract except on a contract anniversary when the full fee is deducted. The Company currently waives this fee for all contracts with $50,000 or more of contract value for the MEMBERS® Variable Annuity III product and $25,000 or more of contract value for all other products. These charges are deducted by redeeming an appropriate number of units for each contract and are included in contract charges and fees on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable subaccount.

 

Death Benefit Rider Charges. Optional death benefit riders are available on MEMBERS® Variable Annuity II and MEMBERS® Choice Variable Annuity contracts. The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit and 5% Annual Guarantee Death Benefit Riders are available for issue ages 0 to 75. The Minimum Death Benefit Guarantee Rider is available for issue ages 76 to 85. All death benefit rider charges are deducted by redeeming an appropriate number of units for each contract and are included in contract charges and fees on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable subaccount.

 

On each contract anniversary (or upon surrender of the contract) prior to the annuity date, the Company deducts rider fees from the contract value. The annual charge for each of these riders ranges from 0.15% to 0.20% of average assets during the prior contract year.

 

Optional death benefit riders are also available on MEMBERS® Variable Annuity III contracts. The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit, 3% Annual Guarantee Death Benefit and Earnings Enhanced Death Benefit

CMFG Variable Annuity Account

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(3) Fees and Charges (continued)

 

Riders are available for issue ages 0 to 75. On each contract anniversary (or upon surrender of the contract) prior to the annuity date, the Company deducts the applicable rider fees from the contract value. The annual charge for each of these riders ranges from 0.15% to 0.35% of average assets during the prior contract year.

 

Living Benefit Riders. Optional living benefit riders, such as Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit, Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit, and Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit are available. Annual charges for these benefits range from 0.50% to 1.75%. Generally, the charge is assessed on the average benefit basis for the prior contract year. These charges are deducted by redeeming an appropriate number of units for each contract and are included in contract charges and fees on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable subaccount.

 

Transfer Fee. No charge is generally made for transfers between subaccounts. However, the Company reserves the right to charge $10 for the 13th and each subsequent transfer during a contract year. These charges are deducted by redeeming an appropriate number of units for each contract and are included in contract charges and fees on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable subaccount.

 

Premium Taxes. If state or other premium taxes are applicable to a contract, they will be deducted either: (a) from purchase payments as they are received, (b) from contract value upon surrender or partial withdrawal, (c) upon application of adjusted contract value to an annuity payment option, or (d) upon payment of a death benefit. The Company, however, reserves the right to deduct premium taxes at the time it pays such taxes. These charges are deducted by redeeming an appropriate number of units for each contract and are included in contract charges and fees on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable subaccount.

 

Account Charges

 

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. The Company deducts a daily mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the subaccount to compensate it for assuming certain mortality and expense risks. The charge is deducted from the assets of the subaccount at an annual rate of 1.15% to 1.65%. These charges are included in mortality and expense charges in the accompanying Statements of Operations of the applicable subaccount.

 

Administrative Charge. The Company deducts a daily administrative charge from the assets of the subaccount to compensate it for certain expenses it incurs in administration of MEMBERS® Variable Annuity and MEMBERS® Variable Annuity III contracts. The charge is deducted from the assets of the subaccount at an annual rate of 0.15%. These charges are included in administrative charges in the accompanying Statements of Operations of the applicable subaccount.

(4) Fair Value

 

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.

 

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of assets and liabilities into three broad levels. The Account has categorized its financial instruments, based on the degree of subjectivity inherent in the valuation technique, as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are directly observable and represent quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets the Account has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2: All significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability. This includes: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3: One or more significant inputs are unobservable and reflect the Account’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.

 

The hierarchy requires the use of market observable information when available for assessing fair value.

(7)Financial Highlights

 

The table below provides financial highlights for each subaccount for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the four preceding years ended December 31. In certain instances, fewer years are presented because the subaccount was not available for the entire five-year period. The unit value, the expense ratio and the total returns are presented for the product with the lowest and highest expense ratios. In addition, the lowest unit value and total return can exceed the highest unit value and total return due to timing of when amounts were actually invested in the respective contract by contract owners.

* The subaccount commenced operations on May 2, 2025.

 

(1)The Investment Income Ratio represents dividends received by the subaccount, excluding capital gains distributions, divided by the daily average net assets for the period indicated. The recognition of investment income is determined by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests.

 

(2)The Expense Ratio represents the annualized contract expenses of the respective contract of the Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk charges, as defined in the Account Charges note. 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 fund have been excluded.

 

(3)The Total Return represents the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated for each period shown and, accordingly, is not annualized for periods less than one year. As the total return for each of the periods is presented as a range of lowest to highest percentages based on the product grouping representing the lowest and highest expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.

 

(4)This Subaccount liquidated effective May 2, 2025. The total return calculation is based on the last unit price and investment income ratio is based on income through May 2, 2025 divided by average assets during the year.

 

(5)The subaccount commenced operations on May 2, 2025. The total return calculations are based on the initial unit price and investment income ratio is based on income from inception through December 31, 2025 divided by average assets during the year. Historical data will not be presented for these Subaccounts.

 

(a)This subaccount is only available in the MEMBERS Variable Annuity product that offers one class and expense ratio, therefore a range of lowest to highest is not presented.

 

(b)This subaccount is only available in the MEMBERS Variable Annuity III product that offers multiple classes and expense ratios, therefore a range of lowest to highest is presented if contract owners have invested in multiple classes for the respective subaccount.

 

(8)Subsequent Events

 

The Account evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. During this period, there were no significant subsequent events that required adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements.

Statutory Basis Financial Statements for CMFG Life Insurance Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2025, Supplemental Schedules as of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2025, and Independent Auditor’s Report  

 

 

 

 

Opinions

  

We have audited the statutory basis financial statements of CMFG Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), which comprise the statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statutory basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the statutory basis financial statements (collectively referred to as the “statutory basis financial statements”).

 

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statutory basis financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division, described in Note 2.

 

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 basis 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, 2025 and 2024, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025.

 

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 basis 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.

 

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

 

As described in Note 2 to the statutory basis financial statements, the statutory basis financial statements are prepared by the Company using the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division. The effects on the statutory basis financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 2 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

 

 

 

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the statutory basis financial statements, the results of the Company may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity, as the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Statutory Basis Financial Statements

 

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

 

In preparing the statutory basis 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 basis financial statements are issued.

 

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

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory basis 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 basis 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 basis 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 basis 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.

 

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 basis 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 2025 audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 2025 statutory basis financial statements as a whole. The supplemental schedule of selected financial data, summary investment schedule, reinsurance contract interrogatories, and supplemental investment risks interrogatories as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the 2025 statutory basis 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 basis financial statements. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 2025 statutory basis 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 basis financial statements or to the statutory basis 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 2025 statutory basis financial statements as a whole.

Note 1: Nature of Business

 

CMFG Life Insurance Company (“CMFG Life” or the “Company”) is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of Iowa for the principal purpose of serving the insurance needs of credit unions and their members. The Company’s primary products include group credit life and group credit disability, retirement plan group annuities and plan administration, group life and disability products and individual life, health and annuity policies. The Company’s ultimate parent is CUNA Mutual Holding Company (“CMHC”), a mutual insurance holding company organized under the laws of Iowa. The Company markets its products through face-to-face and direct response distribution systems, while group products are sold primarily by salaried representatives. The Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates are engaged in the business of property and casualty insurance, retail investment brokerage, private mortgage insurance and other businesses, most of which are targeted and designed for credit unions and their members.

 

The Company is authorized to sell life, health and annuity policies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and most of its revenue and that of its affiliated companies is generated in the United States. It also conducts business in foreign countries through branch offices or subsidiaries. None of these foreign operations and no individual state in the United States represented more than 11% of the Company’s premium for any of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. The Company’s group and individual annuity premiums represented 55%, 55%, and 57% of total premiums for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

 

The accompanying statutory basis financial statements reflect various transactions and balances with the Company’s affiliates. See Note 6 for a description of these transactions. While the Company believes that these transactions were at reasonable terms, the results of operations of the Company may have differed had these transactions been consummated with unrelated parties.

 

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying statutory basis financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division (“Insurance Department”), which differ in some respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Prescribed statutory accounting practices are practices incorporated directly or by reference in state laws, regulations and general administrative rules and are applicable to all insurance enterprises domiciled in a particular state. The Insurance Department has identified the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“APPM”), as promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), as a source of prescribed statutory accounting practices for insurers domiciled in Iowa. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not prescribed by the NAIC and are approved by the insurance department of the insurer’s state of domicile.

Prescribed Statutory Accounting Practice

 

CMFG Life uses the following prescribed statutory accounting practice approved by the Insurance Department which differs from practices in the APPM: CMFG Life holds bonds, limited partnerships, mortgage loans and derivatives in its separate account and insurance entities are required to report assets allocated to the separate account at fair value. As a result of the prescribed practice, CMFG Life reports certain assets at amortized cost, including the mortgage loans and bonds allocated to the separate account for its single premium deferred index annuity, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity, flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred annuity, and single premium deferred index-linked interest options annuity (“registered indexed annuities”). Bonds are held at amortized cost or at fair value, based on the security’s NAIC designation. Additionally, limited partnership investments are carried at cost plus or minus the separate account’s equity in the undistributed earnings or losses as reported by the partnerships. Net income is not affected by this prescribed practice.

 

A reconciliation of the Company’s capital and surplus as calculated by the accounting practices promulgated in the APPM and prescribed by the Insurance Department is shown below as of December 31. 

   Capital and Surplus 
   2025   2024 
As determined using APPM  $3,227,012   $3,170,545 
Prescribed practice          
Carrying value of separate account assets   178,424    425,994 
Total effect of prescribed practice   178,424    425,994 
As reported  $3,405,436   $3,596,539 

 

GAAP/Statutory Accounting Differences

 

The following summary identifies the significant differences between the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department and GAAP:

 

“Nonadmitted assets” (principally a portion of deferred taxes, a portion of prepaid expenses, furniture, equipment, a portion of software, negative interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) that exceeds 10% of adjusted capital and surplus, a portion of goodwill and certain receivables) are excluded from the statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus through a direct charge to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, nonadmitted assets are presented in the balance sheet, net of any valuation allowance.

 

Investments in bonds and notes are generally carried at amortized cost, while under GAAP, they are carried at either amortized cost or fair value based on their classification according to the Company’s ability and intent to hold or trade the securities.

 

Redeemable preferred stock is carried at fair value for both GAAP and statutory and is generally included with bonds and notes for statutory but within debt securities for GAAP.

 

The change in carrying value of limited partnerships is reported directly in unassigned surplus, while under GAAP the change is reflected in net investment income.

Distributions from limited partnerships that are not a return of capital are recorded as net investment income, while under GAAP, distributions from limited partnerships that are not a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the limited partnerships.

 

Affiliated common stocks are accounted for on the equity method using the Company’s ownership percentage and the affiliate’s net equity. Domestic insurance subsidiaries are carried using their statutory net equity, adjusted, where applicable, for unamortized goodwill. Foreign insurers and those non-insurance affiliates engaged in certain insurance-related activities and whose revenue from affiliated companies is more than 20% of their total revenue apply prescribed adjustments to the GAAP net equity to calculate the statutory carrying value. The financial statements of affiliates must be audited, or they are nonadmitted. Equity in the earnings and other equity activity of affiliates is reflected in the statement of changes in capital and surplus as changes in net unrealized capital (losses). Under GAAP, majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated and equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliates is reported in the statement of operations and comprehensive income.

 

Dividend income from affiliates is recorded in net investment income. Under GAAP, dividends reduce the carrying value of the investment in unconsolidated affiliates.

 

For statutory accounting, the change in fair value of unaffiliated common stock is recorded in surplus in the statutory basis statements of changes in capital and surplus. For GAAP, the change in fair value of unaffiliated common stock is recorded in net realized investment gains (losses) in the statement of operations and comprehensive income.

 

For statutory accounting, the amortization of low-income housing tax credit investments (“LIHTC”) is reported in net investment income, whereas for GAAP reporting, the amortization is reported in income tax expense.

 

Under GAAP, the ineffectiveness of a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge, if any, is recorded as net realized capital gains (losses). For statutory accounting, derivatives which follow hedge accounting are reported in a manner consistent with the hedged item. Under GAAP, the change in fair value of a non-hedge derivative is recorded as net realized capital gains (losses). On a statutory basis, derivatives used in a hedging transaction which do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting or are ineffective hedges are accounted for at fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses.

 

Embedded derivatives in certain annuity contracts are not bifurcated from the host contract for statutory accounting, whereas under GAAP accounting the embedded derivatives are bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for and reported separately at fair value.

 

The changes in fair value of derivative contracts are recorded in unassigned surplus as a change in net unrealized capital (losses), while under GAAP they are recorded in the statement of operations and comprehensive income unless the contracts meet certain hedge accounting criteria.

 

For statutory accounting, after an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) of bonds (other than loan-backed securities) is recorded, the fair value of the other-than-temporarily impaired bond becomes its new cost basis. For GAAP, an impairment is based on the net present value of expected cash flows if the Company intends to hold the security until it has recovered, and an impairment is recorded as a valuation allowance. If the Company does not intend to hold the security until it has recovered, the Company records an impairment, and the fair value becomes its new cost basis. For loan-backed securities, the impairment for statutory accounting is based on future cash flows.

The determination of a statutory impairment loss for mortgage loans is based on whether a loss on an individual loan is considered probable, whereas, for GAAP, a credit loss allowance is determined using an estimate of lifetime expected losses. The GAAP allowance is determined by pooling loans that share similar risk characteristics and considers current economic conditions to establish an estimate of lifetime credit losses, while loans with dissimilar characteristics are removed from the pool and evaluated for impairment individually.

 

For statutory accounting, the Company establishes a valuation allowance for credit losses on reinsurance recoverables when it concludes that it is probable that an individual reinsurer will not meet its obligations. Under GAAP, the establishment of an allowance for credit losses on reinsurance recoverables is based on lifetime expected losses for pools of similar reinsurers, segmented by credit rating.

 

Acquisition costs, such as commissions, premium taxes, and other costs relating to acquiring new and renewal business are expensed as incurred, while under GAAP, acquisition expenses directly related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal business are deferred and amortized over the periods benefited.

 

Policy reserves are established based on mortality and interest assumptions prescribed or permitted by state statutes, without consideration for withdrawals, which may differ from reserves established for GAAP using assumptions with respect to mortality, interest, expense, and withdrawals that are based on company experience and expectations.

 

All leases are classified as operating leases for statutory accounting. Under GAAP, a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability are recorded for all leases. ROU assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, and the lease liability is reduced over the lease term as payments are made.

 

Under both GAAP and statutory accounting, deferred federal income taxes are provided for net unrealized capital gains or losses on investments and the temporary differences between the reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities; however, there are limits as to the amount of deferred tax assets that may be reported as admitted assets under statutory accounting. Additionally, the change in deferred taxes is recognized as an adjustment to unassigned surplus under statutory accounting. For GAAP, changes in deferred taxes related to revenue and expense items are recorded in the statement of operations and comprehensive income. A federal income tax provision is required on a current basis only for the statutory basis statement of operations.

 

The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”), a statutory only reserve established by formula for the purpose of stabilizing the surplus of the Company against fluctuations in the fair value of certain invested assets, is recorded as a liability by a direct charge to unassigned surplus for statutory accounting. Such a reserve is not recorded under GAAP. For statutory accounting, the IMR defers recognition of interest rate-related gains and losses resulting from the disposal of investment securities and amortizes them into income over the remaining contractual maturities of those securities; under GAAP, such gains and losses are recognized in income immediately.

 

Under both GAAP and statutory accounting, employers establish a prepaid asset or liability, as applicable, for the difference between the benefit obligation and the fair value of benefit plan assets. Gains or losses and prior service costs or credits are recognized as a component of comprehensive income for GAAP; on a statutory basis, these items are reflected in the Company’s surplus.

 

Amounts due from reinsurers for their share of ceded reserves are netted against the reserves rather than shown as assets as under GAAP.

Deposits, surrenders, and benefits on certain annuity and deposit administration contracts, including those recorded in the separate accounts, are recorded in the statutory basis statement of operations, while such deposits and benefits are credited or charged directly to the policyholder account balances under GAAP. As a result, under GAAP, revenues on these types of contracts are composed of contract charges and fees, which are recognized when assessed against the account balance. Under GAAP, amounts collected are credited directly to policyholder account balances, and the benefits and claims on these contracts that are charged to expense only include benefits incurred in the period in excess of related policyholder account balances.

 

Single premium deferred index annuities, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuities, flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred annuities, and single premium deferred index-linked interest option annuities are reported as a separate account product for statutory accounting. For GAAP, only the variable annuity component of the flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred annuity is reported as a separate account product, with the other related assets and liabilities reported in the general account because criteria for separate account reporting are not met. The criteria are that funds must be invested at the direction of the contract holder and investment results must be passed through to the contract holder.

 

The provision for policyholder dividends is based on the board of directors’ determination and declaration of an equitable current dividend plus a provision for such dividend expected to be paid in the following year; under GAAP, dividends are provided for ratably over the premium-paying period in accordance with dividend scales that are based on experience of the participating policies.

 

Under statutory accounting, the Company is required to include in net investment income and general insurance expense an amount representing rental income for occupancy of their own buildings. Such income and expense are not recorded under GAAP.

 

Comprehensive income and its components are not presented in the statutory basis financial statements, whereas under GAAP, comprehensive income is presented and changes in comprehensive income are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholder’s equity.

 

Surplus notes meeting regulatory requirements are reported as part of statutory capital and surplus, but under GAAP they are reported as a liability.

 

The statutory basis statements of cash flows are presented in the required statutory format. Under GAAP, the indirect method for the statement of cash flows requires a reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operating activities.

 

Under GAAP, an acquisition is accounted for using the purchase method, such that goodwill is the difference between the acquisition price and the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities. Acquired assets include intangible assets. After the acquisition, intangible assets with definite lives are amortized to income over the expected period of benefit. Under GAAP, a non-public business entity can elect to amortize goodwill. Further, an acquiring entity is permitted to push down the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities, including goodwill, to the acquired entity’s balance sheet (“pushdown accounting”). For statutory accounting, goodwill is the difference between the acquisition price and the statutory book value of the acquired entity and the acquiring entity records goodwill as a component of the investment in the acquired subsidiary. Intangible assets other than goodwill are not recognized and pushdown accounting is not allowed for statutory reporting. Statutory goodwill is amortized over ten years as an adjustment to unrealized capital gains (losses) and goodwill in excess of ten percent of adjusted capital and surplus is nonadmitted.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the statutory basis financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statutory basis financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and, in some cases, the difference could be material. Investment valuations, determination of other-than-temporary impairments, deferred tax asset valuation reserves, policy reserve valuations, reinsurance balances, policy and claim reserves, and pension and postretirement obligations are most affected by the use of estimates and assumptions.

 

Investments

 

Investments are valued as prescribed by the NAIC.

 

Bonds and notes: Bonds and notes with an NAIC designation of 1 through 5 are generally stated at amortized cost. Bonds and notes with an NAIC designation of 6 are stated at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Loan-backed and structured securities may be carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value if they receive an initial rating of 6 under the multiple-designation methodology. Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed and structured securities are obtained from historical industry prepayment averages, industry survey values or internal estimates to determine the effective yield. Changes in the anticipated prepayments are incorporated when determining statement values. Changes in estimated cash flows from the previous assumptions are accounted for using the prospective method.

 

Common stocks – affiliated: Affiliated common stocks are accounted for on the equity method using the Company’s ownership percentage applied to the affiliate’s net equity. Domestic insurance subsidiaries are carried using their statutory net equity, adjusted, where applicable, for unamortized goodwill. Goodwill in excess of ten percent of adjusted capital and surplus is nonadmitted. Foreign insurers and those non-insurance affiliates engaged in certain insurance-related activities and whose revenue from affiliated companies is more than 20% of their total revenue apply prescribed adjustments to the GAAP net equity to calculate the statutory equity. The adjustments primarily are to treat certain assets as nonadmitted. Other affiliates are valued using their GAAP equity. The financial statements of the affiliate must be audited or its carrying value is reduced to zero. If net gains by the affiliates are distributed to the Company in the form of dividends, net investment income is recognized in the amount of the dividend and previous net unrealized capital gains are reversed.

 

Common stocks - unaffiliated: Investments in unaffiliated common stocks are stated at fair value.

 

Preferred stocks - unaffiliated: Preferred stocks are carried at amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or fair value depending on the NAIC designation, unless the preferred stock is perpetual or mandatorily convertible, in which case it is carried at fair value.

 

Mortgage loans: Mortgage loans are carried at their amortized cost, net of impairments and discounts. A mortgage loan is considered impaired and a valuation allowance is established when it becomes probable, based on current information and events, that the Company will be unable to collect the total amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. Impairments are recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) and are determined based upon the carrying value of the recorded investment in the mortgage loan and the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Discounts are amortized over the life of the loan using the constant yield method. The amortization is recorded in interest income.

Real estate: Real estate occupied by the Company and real estate held for the production of income (acquired in the satisfaction of debt) is carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Real estate is depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, ranging from five to fifty years. Depreciation expense is included in investment expense. Impaired real estate is written down to estimated fair value with the impairment loss being included in net realized capital gains (losses). Real estate is deemed to be impaired when the carrying value exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the investment.

 

Contract loans: Contract loans are reported at their unpaid principal balances. Valuation allowances are not established for contract loans, as they are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies. Any unpaid principal or interest on the loan is deducted from the cash surrender value or the death benefit prior to settlement of the insurance policy.

 

Other invested assets: Other invested assets include limited partnerships and limited liability companies (together, “limited partnerships”), low income housing tax credits (“LIHTC”) and investments in surplus notes are carried at amortized cost.

 

Limited partnerships primarily represent interests in affiliates, which invest in unaffiliated limited partnerships and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting with changes in carrying amounts recorded directly to unassigned surplus. Accordingly, the Company’s investments in these limited partnerships are carried at cost plus or minus the Company’s equity in the undistributed earnings or losses as reported by the partnerships. Due to the timing of the availability of financial statements from the partnerships’ general partners, limited partnerships are generally recorded on a three-month lag, as adjusted for contributions and distributions.

 

LIHTC investments are investments in partnerships that generate and realize low income housing tax credits. LIHTC investments are carried at amortized cost, unless considered impaired, and are accounted for using the proportional amortization method. Under the proportional amortization method, the excess of the carrying value of the investment over its estimated residual value is amortized into net investment income during the period in which tax benefits are recognized.

 

Securities lending assets and payable for securities lending: The Company and its related separate account participate in a securities lending program, whereby certain securities are loaned for a short period of time from the Company’s portfolio to qualifying third parties. Terms of the agreement are for borrowers of these securities to provide collateral of at least 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities; the Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral. Acceptable collateral may be in the form of cash or U.S. government securities as outlined in the securities lending agreement. The fair value of the loaned securities is monitored daily and additional collateral is obtained if the fair value of the collateral falls below 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. The Company reinvests the collateral in reverse repurchase agreements, which are recorded at amortized cost and are included in securities lending assets and separate account assets, for the general account and separate account, respectively. The loaned securities remain an asset of the Company. A liability is also recorded for the same amount to reflect the obligation to return the collateral to the payer.

 

The Company typically invests cash collateral in short-term securities through the use of reverse repurchase agreements. Under reverse repurchase agreements, the Company transfers cash or short-term securities to approved counterparties and receives U.S. Treasury or investment grade securities pledged as collateral.

 

Income associated with securities lending transactions within the general account is reported as a component of net investment income on the Company’s statutory basis statements of operations.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk related to the securities lending program and reverse repurchase agreements is limited, due to the nature of the collateral received. The Company has counterparty exposure on these transactions in the event of a counterparty default to the extent the collateral security’s value declines below the amount of cash or securities the Company delivered to acquire the collateral. The short-term nature of the transactions reduces that exposure. See Note 3 for further details on the Company’s securities lending program.

 

Net investment income: Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded as earned at the ex-dividend date. Net investment income includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on an effective-yield basis using expected cash flows. Prepayment penalties on mortgage loans are recorded as net investment income. Mortgage loan origination fees are included in income in the period received. Limited partnership income is recorded and classified in accordance with general partner instructions. Distributions from underlying investments in limited partnerships, other than those classified as a return of capital, are reported as net investment income.

 

Net realized capital gains (losses): Net realized capital gains (losses) on the sale of investments are determined based upon the specific identification method and are recorded on the trade date. Capital gain and loss distributions from underlying investments in limited partnerships are classified as net realized gains (losses).

 

Net unrealized capital gains (losses): Net unrealized capital gains (losses) are included in unassigned surplus, net of deferred federal income taxes.

 

NAIC 5GI securities: Investments with an NAIC 5GI rating signify the NAIC designation was assigned in reliance on the Company’s certification that documentation necessary to permit a full credit analysis of the security does not exist and that the issuer of the security is current in all principal and interest payments.

 

The number of 5GI securities, by investment type, and the statement value and fair value for those securities at December 31, 2025 are shown in the following table.

Derivatives

 

Consistent with its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivatives, such as swaps, options, and futures to manage exposure to various interest rate, currency, and market risks. Most derivatives are recorded at estimated fair value with changes in fair value recorded as net unrealized capital gains (losses) in unassigned surplus. Swaps used to hedge the interest rate and foreign currency exposure of bonds are recorded at amortized cost. When such derivatives are sold or otherwise disposed of, the Company records a net realized capital gain (loss).

 

The Company may designate certain derivatives as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. At inception of the hedge, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship, risk management objective and strategy. In addition, the documentation includes a description of the hedging instrument, hedged transaction, nature of the risk being hedged and methodologies for assessing effectiveness and measuring ineffectiveness. The Company performs procedures to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship and the change in fair value associated with any ineffectiveness is recorded as unrealized capital gains (losses) within net investment income.

 

Derivatives used in hedging transactions that meet the criteria of a highly effective hedge are valued and reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. For those derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, the change in the carrying value or cash flow of the derivative is recorded consistently with how the changes in the carrying value or cash flow of the hedged asset, liability, firm commitment or forecasted transaction are recorded. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value and the changes in the fair value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

 

Cash includes unrestricted deposits in financial institutions and short-term investments include those with maturities at the date of purchase of one year or less. Cash equivalents include money market mutual funds and investments with maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less. Short-term investments and cash equivalents, other than money market mutual funds, are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Money market mutual funds are valued based on the closing price as of December 31.

Electronic Data Processing Equipment, Software, Furniture and Equipment

 

Equipment and computer software are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation; other than electronic data processing (“EDP”) equipment, most such assets are nonadmitted. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful life of furniture and equipment, and software is generally three to seven years. The useful life of capitalized internally developed software ranges from three to five years. The following table is a summary of equipment and software as of December 31: 

         
         
   2025   2024 
         
Electronic data processing equipment-admitted          
Electronic data processing equipment  $38,401   $37,094 
Accumulated depreciation   (34,610)    (37,094) 
           
Net electronic data processing equipment-admitted   3,791    - 
           
Equipment and software-nonadmitted          
Furniture and equipment   39,483    39,341 
Internally developed software   297,973    274,094 
Purchased software   24,503    28,748 
           
Total equipment and software-nonadmitted   361,959    342,183 
Accumulated depreciation-nonadmitted   (283,302)    (259,451)
Net equipment and software-nonadmitted   78,657    82,732 
           
Net equipment and software  $82,448   $82,732 

 

Depreciation expense totaled $11,384, $12,559, and $15,731, in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

 

In 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company sold equipment (that was previously nonadmitted) and recognized a pre-tax gain in other income in the statutory basis statements of operations of $1,630, $3,347, and $9,161, respectively.

 

Other Assets

 

Other assets primarily consist of company-owned life insurance (“COLI”), carried at the cash surrender value of $107,853 and $102,762 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Changes to the cash surrender value are recorded in other income in the statutory basis statements of operations. The cash surrender value of COLI was invested in a diversified limited partnership.

 

Policy Reserves

 

Credit life and disability reserves: Credit disability policy reserves are computed primarily using the mean rule and rule of anticipation methods, which reflect statutory requirements and industry standards. Credit life policy reserves are calculated as the higher of a mortality reserve (using applicable mortality tables) or an unearned premium reserve using the rule of anticipation method, compared on an aggregate basis.

Group long-term disability reserves: Group long-term disability reserves are calculated using the 1987 Commissioners Group Disability Table using applicable interest rates, which vary by issue date.

 

Universal life and variable universal life reserves: All inforce policies have been issued prior to January 1, 2020; therefore, minimum reserves are calculated pursuant to applicable requirements in VM-A and VM-C under the NAIC Valuation Manual (“VM”). Specifically, reserves are computed using the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method (“CRVM”), the NAIC Universal Life Insurance Model Regulation (Appendix A-585), and the NAIC Variable Life Model Regulation (Appendix A-270) as applicable. Interest rates and mortality tables used are in accordance with those allowed under the Standard Valuation Law depending on the year of issue. Continuous assumptions are used for premium payment and claims timing. The variable fund’s cash surrender value under the variable universal life product is held in the separate account.

 

Pension risk transfer reserves: Pension risk transfer reserves are computed using the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“CARVM”), following the NAIC Valuation Manual Standard 22 requirements for Principle-Based Reserve for non-variable annuities (“VM-22”). The valuation discount rates are determined by taking the lower of the VM-22 valuation rates and the New York Principles Based Reserve (“NY-213”) valuation rates.

 

Life insurance reserves: Policies issued on or after January 1, 2020 follow the NAIC Valuation Manual Standard 20 requirements for Principle-Based Reserves (“PBR”) for Life Products (“VM-20”), as minimum reserve requirements. Specifically, current PBR reserves are held at the prescribed VM-20 Section 3 Net Premium Reserve floor (“NPR”). Policies issued prior to January 1, 2020 follow minimum reserves pursuant to the applicable requirements in VM-A and VM-C under the NAIC Valuation Manual. Traditional life insurance reserves are computed on either the net level reserve basis or the CRVM basis dependent on product type and issue date using applicable mortality tables and interest rate assumptions.

 

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns the portion of the final premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values are not promised in excess of legally computed reserves.

 

Extra premiums are charged for substandard lives, plus the gross premium for a rated age. Mean reserves are determined by computing the regular mean reserve for the plan at the rated age and holding, plus one-half of the extra premium charge for the year.

 

The Company had $698,837 and $942,905 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the standard valuation law set by Iowa regulations. The Company included additional premium deficiency reserves of $5,404 and $7,531 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in policy reserves on the statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus for these policies. The Company anticipates net investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency reserve calculation.

 

Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released, tabular cost and tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies have all been determined by formulas prescribed by the Insurance Department.

 

Group pension immediate annuity reserves: Group pension immediate annuity reserves are computed using CARVM, which reflects statutory requirements. Valuation interest rates are determined by taking the lower of the VM-22 valuation rate and the NY-213 rate. Interest rates are used in determining the present value of future payments.

Individual annuity reserves: Policyholder reserves related to individual annuity contracts are computed using the CARVM, along with Actuarial Guideline 33 and 35 and the NAIC Valuation Manual Standard 21 (“VM-21”) for fixed annuities, equity indexed annuities and variable annuities before contract annuitization; single premium immediate annuities and all matured contracts (fixed annuities, equity indexed annuities and variable annuities) in payout phase are computed using CARVM along with VM-22 and NY-213 requirements. For the ten day free look period after issue, the reserve is equal to the return of premium. A reserve floor for all deferred annuities is set equal to the cash surrender value. For contracts that have annuitized, applicable interest rates are used in determining the present value of future payments.

 

Long-term care reserves: Long-term care (“LTC”) reserves consist of active life reserves and disabled life reserves. LTC active life reserves are computed on the one-year full preliminary term basis. Disabled life reserves are computed as the present value of expected claim payments. Mortality assumptions depend on the issue year and use applicable mortality tables. Morbidity assumptions are based on historical claims experience and industry and consultant experience studies. Lapse rate assumptions are based on issue year and are the maximum allowed termination rates for LTC policies specified in NAIC Valuation Manual Standard 25. Valuation interest rates are the dynamic whole life interest rate based on the issue year. For disabled life reserves, the disablement date is considered to be the issue date for the purpose of determining the mortality tables and interest rates. The Company did not record additional LTC reserves as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts

 

The Company recognizes a liability for policyholder deposits that are not subject to policyholder mortality or longevity risk at the stated account value. The account value equals the sum of the original deposit plus accumulated interest, less any withdrawals and expense charges. Such deposits primarily represent annuity contracts without life contingencies, amounts left on deposit with the Company by beneficiaries or policy owners, and funding agreements issued to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”).

 

Policy and Contract Claim Reserves

 

Liabilities established for unpaid benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts represent the estimated amounts required to cover the ultimate cost of settling reported and incurred but unreported losses. These estimates are adjusted in the aggregate for ultimate loss expectations based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends. Any change in the probable ultimate liabilities, which might arise from new information emerging, is reflected in the statutory basis statements of operations in the period the change is determined to be necessary. Such adjustments could be material.

 

Reserves for incurred but not reported losses are recorded as the difference between paid losses to-date and the ultimate loss selections for each accident year. Expected development on reported credit disability claims is calculated using continuance tables, which provide the probability that a claim, at a given age, will have additional payments. These tables are calculated using actual historic company experience. Expected development is combined with paid losses for use in actuarial techniques using reported losses.

Actuarial techniques for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses primarily include paid and reported development techniques, their corresponding Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods (a combination of the expected loss ratio and paid development or reported development method), and prior ultimate loss selections. Expected loss ratio inputs for an accident year are generally based on the most recent quarterly financial forecast, which considers historic loss experience and current trends. Reserves for adjusting expenses are set as a percentage of the unpaid loss estimate, based on internal studies.

 

Within any one line of business, the methods that are given more influence vary based primarily on the maturity of the accident year, the mix of business and the particular internal and external influences impacting the claims experience or the methods.

 

Gross reserves for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses of $120,622 and $136,279, principally those resulting from a disability, are discounted at rates between 0.66% and 0.99% as of December 31, 2025 and 0.65% and 0.99% as of December 31, 2024, respectively. The aggregate discount deducted from gross reserves was $4,774 and $5,247 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest accretion, a result of unwinding the prior year discount, of $1,530, $1,899 and $2,246 was recorded in disability and accident and health benefits within the statutory basis statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

 

Provision for Participating Policyholder Dividends

 

Policyholder dividends are paid on certain policies, primarily individual life insurance. Dividends are approved by the board of directors, based on experience of the participating policies, and recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are paid on policies representing 30% and 32% of the individual life direct and assumed policy reserves of $3,208,911 and $2,991,046 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Credit life and disability coverages are offered on either a single premium or monthly premium basis and revenue is earned in relation to anticipated benefits to policyholders. Term life, whole life, universal life, variable universal life, accidental death and dismemberment and LTC insurance premiums are recognized as premium income when due. Annuity deposits and contractual fees are credited to revenue when received. Health insurance premiums are recognized as income on a monthly pro rata basis over the time period to which the premiums relate. Consideration received on deposit-type contracts, which do not contain any life contingencies, are recorded directly to the related reserve liability.

 

The Company has entered into retrospective rating agreements for certain credit life and credit disability contracts. Premium for contracts subject to these agreements was $307,375, $306,019, and $340,470 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Retrospective premiums are accrued in premium individually for each qualifying policy based on premium and claim experience. Accrued retrospective premium receivables are treated as nonadmitted because they have no fixed due date.

 

Credit Union Reimbursements

 

The Company reimburses credit unions for certain administrative expenses that arise due to the production of new and renewal business, primarily credit insurance, and life and accident and health products sold by direct mail. The Company incurred and expensed $283,952, $230,157, and $253,458 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Credit union reimbursements are recorded in general insurance expenses in the statutory basis statements of operations.

Income Tax

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized, subject to an admissibility test for deferred tax assets, and represent the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a statutory valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. See Note 5 for the components of the admissibility test used to calculate the admitted deferred tax assets. Recorded deferred tax amounts are adjusted to reflect changes in income tax rates and other tax law provisions as they are enacted. The net change in deferred taxes is recorded directly to unassigned surplus.

 

The Company is subject to tax-related audits. The Company accounts for any federal and foreign tax contingent liabilities in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets as modified by SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes, and any state and other tax contingent liabilities in accordance with SSAP No. 5R.

 

Reinsurance

 

Reinsurance premiums claims and benefits, commission expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business ceded are accounted for on a basis consistent with the accounting for the underlying direct policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as reductions of premium income and benefits in the accompanying statutory basis statements of operations. Policy and claim reserves are reported net of unbilled reinsurance recoverables. In a funds withheld coinsurance transaction the Company transfers invested assets to a funds withheld account, which is structured for the benefit of the assuming company. The Company has evaluated its reinsurance contracts and determined that all significant contracts transfer the underlying economic risk of loss. If the Company determines it is probable that a reinsurance amount will not be collectible, the amounts are designated as doubtful accounts and an allowance is established for the estimated uncollectible amount. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is estimated based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis, and any specific, known doubtful accounts. Amounts are written off when they are deemed uncollectible.

 

Separate Accounts

 

The Company issues variable annuities and variable life insurance policies and assumes registered indexed annuities, the assets and liabilities of which are legally segregated and reflected in the accompanying statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus as assets and liabilities of the separate accounts. Variable annuity, variable life insurance and the variable annuity component of the flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred annuity contract holders bear the investment risk that the separate accounts’ funds may not meet their stated investment objectives. Some policies contain contract provisions wherein the Company guarantees either a minimum return or account value upon death, partial withdrawal or at a specified contract anniversary date. The liabilities for these guarantees are included in policy reserves for life insurance and annuity contracts in the statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus.

 

Transfers to (from) separate accounts represent the net activity related to premiums and deposits received by the Company that are to be transferred to the separate account. It also includes the reimbursement of payments for benefits, surrenders and annuities to be received from the separate account. Additionally, in 2025 certain products from the separate accounts that were included in the funds withheld reinsurance agreement (as described in Note 7, Reinsurance) were included as a transfer from the separate account as of December 31, 2025.

 

Separate account assets for the variable annuity, variable life, and the variable annuity component of the flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred annuity are stated at fair value.

Bonds within the registered indexed annuities separate account assets are stated at amortized cost, or at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, based on the security’s NAIC designation. The Company also reports mortgage loans held in the separate account at amortized cost. Additionally, limited partnership investments are carried at cost plus or minus the separate account’s equity in the undistributed earnings or losses as reported by the partnerships. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Prescribed Statutory Accounting Practice for details. Separate account liabilities are accounted for in a manner similar to other policy reserves. In the event that the asset values of certain contract holder’s accounts are projected to be below the value guaranteed by the Company, a liability is established through a charge to income. Separate account premium deposits, benefit expenses and contract fee income for investment management and policy administration are reflected by the Company in the accompanying statutory basis statements of operations. Net investment income and net realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the separate account assets, with the exception of assets related to registered indexed annuities, accrue directly to the contract holders and, therefore, are not included in the Company’s statutory basis statements of operations.

 

Variable annuity and variable life contract holders are able to invest in investment funds managed for their benefit. Approximately 8% and 9% of the separate account assets are invested in unit investment trusts that are registered with the SEC as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

The Company invests the registered indexed annuity premiums for the benefit of the contract holder. The single premium deferred index, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index and flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred annuities have two risk control accounts, referred to as the Secure and Growth Accounts; the Secure Account has a yearly credited interest rate floor of 0% and the yearly Growth Account floor is -10%. The Secure and Growth Accounts both have credited interest rate caps that vary with the issuance date. Interest is credited at the end of each contract year during the selected index term based on the allocation between risk control accounts and the performance of an external index during that contract year. At the end of the initial index term, only the Secure Account will be available as an option to the policyholder.

 

Foreign Exchange

 

The Company’s statutory basis financial statements are impacted by foreign currency exchange rates related to foreign-based subsidiaries and branch operations and investment holdings denominated in foreign currencies. Revenues and expenses of foreign branch operations are translated into U.S. dollars at a weighted average exchange rate for the period.

 

Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate existing at December 31. Changes in asset and liability values due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded as unrealized capital gains (losses) until the asset is sold or exchanged or the liability is settled. Upon settlement, previously recorded unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses are reversed and the foreign exchange gain or loss for the entire holding period is recorded as a realized gain or loss.

 

Statutory Valuation Reserves

 

The IMR is maintained for the purpose of stabilizing the surplus of the Company against gains and losses on sales of investments that are primarily attributable to changing interest rates. The interest rate-related gains and losses are deferred and amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities sold. If the IMR is calculated to be a net asset, the Company admits the IMR asset until it reaches 10% of adjusted capital and surplus. The net IMR asset is included in other assets in the statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus.

Company’s gains and losses on sales of investments were transferred to IMR in compliance with the Company’s investment policies and procedures. Asset sales that generated admitted negative IMR were not compelled by liquidity pressures. The Company’s insulated separate account also admits disallowed IMR of $12,209 . There was no allocation of net negative IMR between the general account and insulated separate account. The table below provides information regarding the admitted negative IMR.

The AVR is a formulaic reserve for fluctuations in the values of invested assets, primarily bonds and notes, mortgage loans, common stocks, limited partnerships, and derivatives. Changes in the AVR are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus.

 

Commission and Fee Income

 

The Company acts as an investment advisor and administrator of employee benefit plans. Revenues for advisory services are largely based upon contractual rates applied to the fair value of the customer’s portfolio and are recognized on a pro rata basis. Fees received for employee benefit plan recordkeeping and reporting services are recognized as revenue when the service is performed. Administrative fees paid in advance are deferred and recognized over the period of service.

 

Benefit Plans

 

The Company’s employees participate in qualified defined benefit pension plans sponsored by TruStage Financial Group, Inc. (“TruStage”), the Company’s parent. The Company records an expense for its contribution and the administration of the plan by the parent. This expense is recorded in general insurance expenses on the statutory basis statements of operations.

The Company recognizes costs for its non-qualified defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans on an accrual basis as employees perform services to earn the benefits. The accrued benefit liability is included within the liability for employee retirement benefit plans on the statutory basis statement of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. Net periodic benefit cost is determined using management estimates and actuarial assumptions to derive service cost and interest cost. Net periodic benefit cost also includes the applicable amortization of any prior service cost (credit) arising from changes in prior years’ benefit costs due to plan amendments, as well as the applicable amortization of actuarial gains or losses arising from experience different than assumed or changes in actuarial assumptions. To the extent that actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs and credits have not been included in net periodic benefit costs and create a prepaid asset, the asset is nonadmitted.

 

The Company provides life and contributory medical insurance benefits for some retirees. Retirees become eligible to participate based upon age and years of service. Periodic net benefit expense is based on the cost of incremental benefits for employee service during the period, interest on the projected benefit obligation and amortization of actuarial gains and losses.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Update

 

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted updated NAIC guidance related to its bond definition project that clarified the definition of bond investments. The new principles-based bond definition criteria is applied to securities to determine whether they should be classified as long-term bonds, equity securities or other invested assets for statutory reporting purposes. Under the new guidance, a bond must represent a creditor relationship with a fixed payment schedule and qualify as either an issuer credit obligation or an asset-backed security. Securities with equity-like characteristics or ownership interests are not bonds and are to be reported separately. Upon adoption, the Company did not have any material changes to the classification of investments. The NAIC guidance did not require retrospective adjustment to previously presented amounts.

Common Stocks – Affiliated

 

The Company owns common stock in various subsidiaries and affiliates. The most significant of these investments is a 100% equity interest in CUNA Mutual Investment Corporation (“CMIC”), which is primarily a holding company and has a statutory carrying value of $1,239,544 and $1,190,072 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. CMIC’s largest investments include 100% of CUMIS Insurance Society, Inc. (“CUMIS”), an Iowa property and casualty insurer and 100% of CUNA Brokerage Services, Inc. (“CBSI”), a broker dealer.

 

The Company also owns the common stock of American Memorial Life Insurance Company (“AMLIC”) and Union Security Insurance Company (“USIC”), which along with Mt. Rushmore Road, LLC (“Mt. Rushmore”) was acquired for $1,117,336 in 2021 and was accounted for using the statutory purchase method. This resulted in goodwill of $696,291. The purchase price was allocated as follows: AMLIC $893,602, USIC $217,734 and Mt. Rushmore $6,000 (Mt. Rushmore is included with real estate occupied by the Company). AMLIC and USIC are wholly-owned subsidiaries of CMFG Life.

 

In 2025, the Company filed with the NAIC the statement values of CMIC, AMLIC and USIC owned as of December 31, 2024 and the NAIC accepted the submitted statement values. The Company is in the process of submitting a NAIC filing for the 2025 statement values for CMIC, AMLIC, USIC and MLIC.

 

The Company amortized $69,638, $69,638, and $68,747 of goodwill as an unrealized capital loss in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The Company has no commitments as of December 31, 2025 or 2024 to lend additional funds to mortgagors whose existing mortgage terms have been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring. There were no mortgage loan restructures in 2025 or 2024.

 

Valuation allowances are maintained at a level that is adequate to absorb estimated probable credit losses of each specific loan. Management performs a periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for losses based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent credit risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay (including timing of future payments), the estimated value of the underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, cash flow of the underlying properties, property occupancy and other relevant factors. Trends in market vacancy and rental rates are incorporated into the analysis of monitored loans and may contribute to the establishment of (or an increase or decrease in) an allowance for credit losses. In addition, a review of each loan in the loan portfolio is performed on a quarterly basis to identify emerging credit risks. A valuation allowance is established or adjusted for specific loans as warranted based on this analysis. The Company’s process for determining past due or delinquency status begins when a payment date is missed. The Company places loans on nonaccrual status when it is probable that income is uncollectible. Income received after a loan is put on nonaccrual status is recognized on a cash basis. As of December 31, 2025, there were no mortgage loans in nonaccrual status and no valuation allowance was established. As of December 31, 2023, there was one mortgage loan in nonaccrual status with a carrying value of $12,762 and a $500 valuation allowance was established. In 2024, the Company acquired the property in satisfaction of the loan and the allowance was reversed. There was no gain or loss recorded on this transaction. Mortgage loans deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance for losses. The allowance is also adjusted for any subsequent recoveries.

 

The Company measures and assesses the credit quality of mortgage loans by using loan to value and debt service coverage ratios. The loan to value ratio compares the principal amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan and is commonly expressed as a percentage. Loan to value ratios greater than 100% indicate that the principal amount is greater than the collateral value. Therefore, all else being equal, a lower loan to value ratio generally indicates a higher quality loan. The debt service coverage ratio compares a property’s net operating income to its debt service payments. Debt service coverage ratios of less than 1.0 indicate that property operations do not generate enough income to cover its current debt payments. Therefore, a higher debt service coverage ratio generally indicates a higher quality loan. The loan to value and debt service coverage ratios are updated regularly.

Derivatives

 

Consistent with its risk management strategy, the Company utilizes derivatives to help maximize risk-adjusted investment returns; reduce interest rate risks of long term assets; manage exposure to various currency and market risks; and manage exposure to various equity and fixed income market sectors. Financial instruments used for such purposes include foreign currency futures, equity futures, cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and options.

Futures contracts: Futures contracts are a commitment to purchase or deliver securities or currency in the future at a predetermined price or yield and are usually settled net in cash. When a futures contract is entered into, a margin account is established with the broker based on the requirements of the futures exchange.

 

The Company utilizes short positions in foreign currency futures to manage the foreign currency fair value risk exposure to investments denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency futures designated as hedging the foreign currency risk of foreign currency denominated long-term bonds and limited partnerships are classified as foreign currency fair value hedges.

 

Foreign currency futures that are not designated to specific foreign currency risk are not accounted for using hedge accounting. All changes in the fair value of undesignated foreign currency futures are recorded in unrealized capital gains (losses).

 

Equity futures: Equity futures contracts derive their value from the price level of an underlying index. The Company utilized short positions in futures contracts tied to certain indices to hedge changes in the equity-related aspects of the Company’s investment in limited partnerships in MCA Funds Holding Company LLC (“MCA Funds Holding”). The futures are valued at fair value and recorded through net unrealized capital gains (losses) while the futures contracts are open. When the futures contracts are closed, gains (losses) are recognized as a component of net realized capital gains (losses).

 

Cross currency swaps: Cross currency swaps represent the Company’s agreement with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between functional currency (U.S. Dollar) fixed or floating rate interest amounts and foreign currency fixed or floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to agreed upon notional principal amounts. Generally, exchanges of functional currency (U.S. Dollar) and foreign currency notional amounts are made at the initiation and maturity of the contract. The Company uses cross currency swaps to eliminate the variability in functional currency equivalent cash flows of foreign currency denominated debt instruments. The cross currency swaps are carried at amortized cost. Settlement payments between the Company and its counterparties on the cross currency swaps are recorded in net investment income. When the cross currency swaps are closed, gains (losses) are recognized as a component of net realized capital gains (losses). The Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for a maximum of 29 years on forecasted transactions excluding those transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing instruments.

 

Interest rate swaps: The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates. Under interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. The swap contracts are entered into pursuant to master agreements that normally provide for a single net payment to be made by one counterparty at each due date. A net receipt and a net payment are recorded as an increase to and a decrease to net investment income, respectively.

 

Certain interest rate swaps have been designated as fair value hedges, and certain interest rate swaps of forecasted transactions have been designated as cash flow hedges. The swap contracts are carried at amortized cost to match the book adjusted carrying value methodology prescribed for the currently held bonds or forecasted bond purchases that they are hedging. Settlement payments between the Company and its counterparties on the interest rate swaps are recorded in net investment income.

 

If a swap contract is closed prior to the swap end date, the gain or loss adjusts the basis of the hedged item and is recognized in income in a manner that is consistent with the hedged item. For bonds currently held, gains (losses) are recognized as a component of net realized capital gains (losses).

For interest rate swaps that have been designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions, if a forecasted transaction is determined to no longer be probable, hedge accounting will cease immediately. There were no cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. During 2025, 2024, and 2023, there were no cash flow hedges discontinued as a result of it no longer being probable that the original forecasted transactions would occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within two months of that date.

 

Interest rate swaps that cannot be designated to specific interest rate risk are not accounted for using hedge accounting. These derivatives are accounted for at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded in surplus as an unrealized gain and loss.

 

Options: The Company issues equity-indexed annuity and registered indexed annuity contracts that credit interest on a portion of the contract based on certain indices, primarily the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Price Index. A portion of the premium from each customer is invested in primarily investment grade bonds. A portion of the premium is used to purchase over-the-counter put and call options to hedge the change in interest credited to the customer as a direct result of the change in the related indices. The options are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net unrealized capital gains (losses). When the options are closed, gains (losses) are recognized as a component of net realized capital gains (losses).

 

Credit risk: The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to its swap, option and currency forward agreements. The Company monitors the credit standing of the counterparties and has entered into cash collateral agreements based on the credit rating of the counterparty. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts given their high credit ratings and collateral requirements. The futures contracts are traded on a regulated exchange and have low counterparty risk. At December 31, 2025, the Company had exposure, net of collateral, of $6,146 in the event of nonperformance by all counterparties. The largest exposure with any one counterparty was $6,552 at December 31, 2025.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments of Investments

 

Investment securities are reviewed for OTTI on an ongoing basis. The Company creates a watchlist of securities based largely on the fair value of an investment security relative to its amortized cost. When the fair value drops below the Company’s amortized cost, the Company monitors the security for OTTI. The determination of OTTI requires significant judgment on the part of the Company and depends on several factors, including, but not limited to:

 

The existence of any plans to sell the investment security.

The extent to which fair value is less than statement value.

The underlying reason for the decline in fair value (credit concerns, interest rates, etc.).

The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer/borrower, including the ability to meet contractual obligations, relevant industry trends and conditions and cash flow analysis.

For loan-backed and structured securities and equity securities, the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value.

The Company’s ability to recover all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreements.

The Company’s collateral position, in the case of bankruptcy or restructuring.

 

A bond is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired when the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis and its value is not expected to recover through the Company’s holding period. When this occurs, the Company records a net realized capital loss equal to the difference between the amortized cost and fair value. The fair value of the other-than-temporarily impaired security becomes its new cost basis. If the bond is a loan-backed or structured security, it is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired when the amortized cost exceeds the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and its value is not expected to recover through the Company’s holding period. The amount of the OTTI recognized in net income as a realized loss equals the difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and its expected cash flows.

 

For certain securitized financial assets with contractual cash flows, the Company is required to update its best estimate of cash flows over the life of the security. If the fair value of a securitized financial asset is less than its cost or amortized cost and there has been a decrease in the present value of the estimated cash flows since the last revised estimate, considering both timing and amount, an OTTI charge equal to the difference between amortized cost and present value of future cash flows is recognized. The Company also considers its intent and ability to retain a temporarily impaired security until recovery. Estimating future cash flows involves judgment and includes both quantitative and qualitative factors. Such determinations incorporate various information and assessments regarding the future performance of the underlying collateral. In addition, projections of expected future cash flows may change based upon new information regarding the performance of the underlying collateral.

 

For investments in subsidiaries and limited partnerships, the Company reviews the financial condition and future profitability of the subsidiary or limited partnership interest to assess whether any excess of its initial cost basis over the current carrying basis determined using the equity method of accounting is other-than-temporary. If such excess is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the amount is recorded as a net realized capital gain (loss).

 

For those stocks with a decline in the fair value deemed to be other-than-temporary, a net realized capital gain (loss) is recorded equal to the difference between the fair value and cost basis of the security. The previous cost basis less the amount of the estimated impairment becomes the security’s new cost basis. The Company asserts its intent and ability to retain those stocks deemed to be temporarily impaired until the price recovers. Once identified, these securities are restricted from trading for a period up to three months as defined by the Company’s policy.

Management believes it has made an appropriate provision for other-than-temporarily impaired securities owned at December 31, 2025. As a result of the subjective nature of these estimates, additional provisions may subsequently be determined to be necessary, as new facts emerge and a greater understanding of economic trends develop. Additional OTTI will be recorded as appropriate as determined by the Company’s regular monitoring procedures of additional facts. In light of the variables involved, such additional OTTI could be significant due to the variability of these factors.

 

The Company did not recognize any OTTI on loan-backed and structured securities during 2025, 2024, and 2023 caused by an intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold until recovery of the amortized cost basis.

 

The following table identifies the Company’s OTTI by type of investment for the years ended December 31.

Note 4: Fair Value

 

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value of certain assets and liabilities and to estimate fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value but required to be disclosed at fair value. Certain financial instruments, such as insurance policy liabilities other than deposit-type contracts and investments accounted for using the equity method, are excluded from the fair value disclosure requirements. The Company uses fair value measurements obtained using observable inputs or internally determined estimates to estimate fair value.

 

Valuation Hierarchy

 

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.

 

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of assets and liabilities into three broad levels. The Company has categorized its financial instruments, based on the degree of subjectivity inherent in the valuation technique, as follows:

 

  
49

 

 

CMFG LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 

Notes to Statutory Basis Financial Statements  

($ in 000s)

 

 

Level 1: Inputs are directly observable and represent quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: All significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability. This includes: (i) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the instruments and (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: One or more significant inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.

 

For purposes of determining the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, observable inputs are those inputs used by market participants in valuing financial instruments, which are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. In the absence of sufficient observable inputs, unobservable inputs, reflecting the Company’s estimates of the assumptions market participants would use in valuing financial assets and liabilities, are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company use prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date. In some instances, valuation inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The category level in the fair value hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The hierarchy requires the use of market observable information when available for measuring fair value. The availability of observable inputs varies by investment. In situations where the fair value is based on inputs that are unobservable in the market or on inputs from inactive markets, the determination of fair value requires more judgment and is subject to the risk of variability. The degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is typically greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. Transfers in and out of level categorizations are reported as having occurred at the end of the quarter in which the transfer occurred. Therefore, for transfers into Level 3 any activity occurring in the fourth quarter prior to the transfer, such as realized gains and losses and all changes in unrealized gains and losses are included within the “transfers into level 3” column of the rollforward.

 

Valuation Process

 

The Company is responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. The Company uses consistent application of valuation methodologies and inputs and compliance with accounting standards through the execution of various processes and controls designed to provide assurance that assets and liabilities are appropriately valued.

 

The Company has policies and guidelines that require the establishment of valuation methodologies and consistent application of such methodologies. These policies and guidelines govern the use of inputs and price source hierarchies and provide controls around the valuation processes. These controls include appropriate review and analysis of prices against market activity or indicators of reasonableness, approval of price source changes, price overrides, methodology changes and classification of fair value hierarchy levels. The valuation policies and guidelines are reviewed and updated as appropriate.

For fair values received from third parties or internally estimated, the Company’s processes are designed to provide assurance that the valuation methodologies and inputs are appropriate and consistently applied, the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are appropriately recorded. The Company performs procedures to understand and assess the methodologies, process and controls of valuation service providers. In addition, the Company may validate the reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained from valuation service providers or brokers to other third-party valuation sources for selected securities. When using internal valuation models, these models are developed by the Company’s investment group using established methodologies. The models, including key assumptions, are reviewed with various investment sector professionals, accounting, operations, compliance, and risk management professionals. In addition, when fair value estimates involve a high degree of subjectivity, the Company validates the fair value estimates through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise and who are independent of those charged with executing investment transactions.

 

Transfers Between Levels

 

There were no transfers between levels during 2025 and 2024.

Determination of Fair Values

 

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

 

Level 1 Measurements

 

Issuer credit obligations, Asset-backed securities, and Bonds and notes: Consists of U.S. bond exchange traded funds; valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access.

 

Common stocks - unaffiliated: Consists of U.S. common stocks and FHLB common stock as required as a member of FHLB. U.S. common stocks are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access. FHLB valuation is based on the published redemption price at which the Company could transact.

 

Cash equivalents and short-term investments: Consists of money market mutual funds. Valuation for money markets is based on the closing price at December 31.

 

Margin account assets and liabilities: Margin account collateral and liabilities are marked-to-market daily and require cash settlements in the margin account for changes in a derivative contract’s fair value. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to its short-term nature.

 

Separate account assets and liabilities: Separate account assets consist of money market funds; valuation is based on the closing price at December 31. Separate account liabilities represent the account value owed to the customer; the fair value is determined by reference to the fair value of the related separate account assets.

 

Derivatives: Consists of currency futures which are exchange traded; valuation is based on published prices at December 31.

 

Level 2 Measurements

 

Issuer credit obligations, Asset-backed securities, and Bonds and notes: Valuation is principally based on observable inputs including quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are active and observable market data.

 

Preferred stocks - unaffiliated: Consists of privately placed preferred stock. Valuation is based on observable market inputs such as risk free rates and market comparables.

 

Cash equivalents and short-term investments: Consists of corporate bonds which are classified as cash equivalents and short-term investments. Valuation is principally based on observable inputs including quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are active and observable market data.

 

Other invested assets: Consists of surplus notes. Valuation is principally based on observable inputs including quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are active and observable market data.

 

Securities lending assets and liabilities: Securities lending assets consist of reverse repurchase agreements; valuation is principally based on observable inputs including quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are active and observable market data. Securities lending liabilities represent the collateral to be returned to the borrower; the fair value is determined by reference to the fair value of the related securities lending assets.

Derivatives: Consists of derivatives such as options, swaps, and over-the-counter derivatives; valuation inputs having a significant effect on fair value include market quoted interest rates, market-implied volatility and other observable inputs regularly used by industry participants in the over-the-counter derivatives market.

 

Separate account assets and liabilities: Separate account assets measured at fair value are investments in mutual funds and unit investment trusts in which the contract holder could redeem its investment at net asset value per share at the measurement date with the investee; bonds and notes where valuation is principally based on observable inputs including quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are active and observable market data; and options where valuation is based primarily on quoted interest rates, market-implied volatility and other observable inputs regularly used by industry participants in over-the-counter derivatives markets. Separate account liabilities measured at fair value represent the account value owed to the customer; the fair value is determined by reference to the fair value of the related separate account assets.

 

Deposit-type contracts: The fair value of the Company’s liabilities under deposit-type insurance contracts, including funding agreements, is based on the account balance less applicable surrender charges and considering applicable market value adjustments, such as a spread equivalent to the cost of funds for insurance companies.

 

Notes and interest payable and surplus notes: Notes and interest payable relate to FHLB short term borrowings (repayment in 90 days or less); fair value approximates carrying value due to the short term nature of the borrowing. The fair value of surplus notes is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis with interest rates currently being offered in the marketplace for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.

 

Level 3 Measurements

 

Issuer credit obligations, Asset-backed securities, and Bonds and notes: Valuation is principally based on unobservable inputs that are significant including estimated prices for similar assets in markets that may not be active. When available, market indices and observable inputs, along with analytical modeling are used. However, observable inputs on non-distressed asset trades are not frequent.

 

Preferred and common stocks - unaffiliated: Consists of non-public securities acquired in conjunction with investments in limited partnerships. Such investments are initially valued at transaction price and subsequently adjusted to fair value when evidence is available to support adjustments. Such evidence includes change in value as a result of public offerings, market comparables, market liquidity, the investees' financial results, sales restrictions, or other items.

 

Mortgage loans: The fair value for mortgage loans is estimated based on one or more unobservable inputs using discounted cash flow analyses with interest rates currently being offered in the marketplace for loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics within the Company’s portfolio are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. Fair values for mortgages in default are reported at the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.

 

LIHTC: The fair value of LIHTC is based on unadjusted information obtained from general partners of the limited partnership investment.

 

COLI: The cash surrender value of COLI approximates fair value because it is based on the fair value of the underlying limited partnership investment which is based on unadjusted information obtained from general partners of the limited partnership investment.

 

Contract loans: The fair value for contract loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis with interest rates currently being offered in the marketplace for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.

Separate account assets and liabilities: Separate account assets measured at fair value consists of bonds and notes and mortgage loans. Valuations of bonds and notes are based on internal models, which include unobservable inputs for similar assets in markets that may not be active. The fair value for mortgage loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses with interest rates currently being offered in the marketplace for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. Fair values for mortgages in default are reported at the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Separate account liabilities measured at fair value represent the account value owed to the customer; the fair value is determined by reference to the fair value of the related separate account assets.

The Company has general business credit carryforwards of $36,256. These credit carryforwards expire in years 2044 through 2045.

The Company did not have any protective tax deposits under Section 6603 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of tax contingences is as follows: 

        
   2025   2024
        
Balance at January 1  $1,675   $1,502
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year   225    392
Reductions for settlements   -    (219)
          
Balance at December 31  $1,900   $1,675

 

The overall effective income tax rate in future periods will be affected if the balances of the tax contingencies as of December 31, 2025 are revalued. The Company has no tax loss contingencies for which it is reasonably possible that the total liability will significantly increase within twelve months of the reporting date.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to tax contingencies in income tax expense in the statutory basis statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized increases of $768, $479, and $213, respectively, in interest and penalties. The Company had accrued $2,312 and $1,544 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for the payment of interest and penalties.

 

In addition to its inclusion in a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return filed by CMHC, the Company also files income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to tax audits. These audits may result in additional tax liabilities. For the major jurisdictions where it operates, the Company is generally no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities for the years ended before 2022. A carryback refund claim filed for tax year 2020 is currently under review.

Note 7: Reinsurance

 

The Company enters into ceded reinsurance agreements for the purpose of limiting its exposure to loss on any one single insured, diversifying its risk and limiting its overall financial exposure, to exit certain products, and to meet its overall financial objectives. The Company retains the risk of loss in the event that a reinsurer is unable to meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreements.

 

On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a modified and funds withheld coinsurance agreement with TFG Bermuda to cede certain products including 100% of its inforce business of the single premium deferred index annuity, the flexible premium deferred variable and index-linked annuity (both included in the separate accounts), as well as 80% of its inforce business and future issuances of Simplified Issued Whole Life (“SIWL”), and Pension Risk Transfer (“PRT”). The single premium deferred index annuity and the flexible premium deferred variable and index-linked annuity business have been assumed by the Company under a prior reinsurance agreement with its affiliate, MLIC.   At December 31, 2025, the Company reinsured $2,641,770 of reserves, contract claims and other contract liabilities along with $2,852,540 of assumed separate accounts to TFG Bermuda. Amounts due to TFG Bermuda of $5,494,310 are recorded in funds held under reinsurance treaties on the statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. Additionally, the Company recorded premium reinsured of $5,640,604 and a ceding commission of $99,923 in the statutory basis statements of operations. As part of the agreement, the Company is required to hold certain assets segregated and distinct from other assets according to guidelines contained in the agreement.

Note 8: Policy and Contract Claim Reserves

 

The balance in the liability for unpaid accident and health claim and claim adjustment expenses gross of reinsurance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $283,904 and $283,339, respectively. On a net of reinsurance basis, CMFG Life incurred $207,681 and paid $210,381 of accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses in 2025, of which $119,057 of the paid amount and ($7,231) of total incurred amount was attributable to insured or covered events of prior years. The increase in reinsurance recoverables as of December 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024 was $3,265. CMFG Life incurred $206,654 and paid $226,145 of accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses in 2024, of which $127,192 of the paid amount and ($32,023) of total incurred amount were attributable to insured or covered events of prior years. The 2025 decrease in prior year incurred losses primarily relates to favorable development across lines, particularly on credit disability driven by fewer reported losses than expected. The 2024 decrease in prior year incurred losses primarily relates to favorable development across lines, particularly on credit disability driven by fewer reported losses than expected.

Note 10: Statutory Financial Data and Dividend Restrictions

 

RBC requirements promulgated by the NAIC and adopted by the Insurance Department require U.S. life insurers to maintain minimum capitalization levels that are determined based on formulas incorporating asset risk, insurance risk, and business risk. The adequacy of the Company’s actual capital is evaluated by a comparison to the RBC results, as determined by the formula. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, CMFG Life’s adjusted capital exceeded the RBC minimum requirements, as required by the NAIC.

 

CMFG Life and its insurance subsidiaries are subject to statutory regulations as to maintenance of policyholders’ surplus and payment of stockholder dividends. Generally, dividends to the parent must be reported to the appropriate state regulatory authority in advance of payment and extraordinary dividends, as defined by statutes, require regulatory approval. CMFG Life could pay up to $377,702 in stockholder dividends in 2026 without the approval of the Insurance Department. CMFG Life has three direct insurance subsidiaries that could pay an aggregate of $187,750 in stockholder dividends in 2026 without regulatory approval.

 

Note 11: Notes and Interest Payable

 

CMFG Life Insurance Company – Borrowings – Federal Home Loan Bank

 

CMFG Life has borrowing capacity as a result of contractual arrangements with the FHLB as evidenced by Advances, Collateral Pledge, and Security Agreements. These agreements provide that CMFG Life is entitled to borrow from the FHLB if it purchases FHLB restricted stock and provides securities as collateral for such borrowings. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company must hold FHLB membership stock equal to 0.06% of the Company’s total assets, with an overall limitation of $10,000. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company must also hold activity stock of 4.5% of the amount of outstanding advances. Interest on borrowings was calculated daily at floating rates that ranged from 3.90% to 4.63% in 2025, 4.52% to 5.66% in 2024, and 4.53% to 5.60% in 2023. Interest expense was $1,616, $3,959, and $5,550 for years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. All borrowings were short-term in nature with maturity dates less than 90 days. There were outstanding borrowings and accrued interest under the agreement of $200,022 and $0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

CMFG Life Insurance Company – Funding Agreements – Federal Home Loan Bank

 

The Company issues both fixed and variable interest rate funding agreements to the FHLB in the general account. Fixed interest rate on borrowings ranged from 4.2% to 5.6% in 2025, 3.9% to 4.4% in 2024, and 3.9% in 2023 with original maturities of 4 to 5 years. Variable interest on the variable interest rate agreements is calculated daily at floating rates that ranged from 3.8% to 4.4% in 2025, 4.6% to 6.4% in 2024, and 4.4% to 6.3% in 2023. The original maturities of the agreements range from 4 to 7 years. Recognized liabilities, included in liability for deposit-type contracts in the statutory statement of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus, are matched to specific assets so that the liabilities and assets are aligned. The funding agreements are subject to prepayment penalties equal to the net present value of future interest cash flows lost due to the prepayment, if any, plus any cost of terminating or offsetting any related hedging transactions.

 

The Company issues both fixed and variable interest rate funding agreements in the separate accounts. Fixed interest rates on borrowings ranged from 1.0% to 5.0% in 2025, 1.0% to 5.0% in 2024, and 0.6% to 5.0% in 2023 with original maturities ranging from 3 to 5 years. Variable interest on borrowings was calculated daily at floating rates that ranged from 4.2% to 5.3% in 2025, 5.1% to 6.4% in 2024, and 4.1% to 6.3% in 2023 with original maturities ranging from 4 to 7 years. The separate account invests in assets that match the duration and interest rate characteristics of the recognized liability, which is included in the liability for deposit-type contracts in the statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. The funding agreements are subject to prepayment penalties equal to the net present value of future interest cash flows lost due to the prepayment, if any, plus any cost of terminating or offsetting any related hedging transactions.

 

TruStage –Credit Agreement – Wells Fargo Bank

 

In July 2022, TruStage, CMFG Life, CUMIS, AMLIC, and CMIC entered into an $800,000 five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and other lenders. The agreement matures in July 2027. The agreement has an unused fee assessed at 0.15% on the unused principal at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Under the agreement, interest amounts are calculated based on certain benchmark interest rates plus a spread that ranges from 0.00% to 1.625% based on TruStage’s debt rating. TruStage is required to comply with financial covenants including a maximum ratio of total debt to capital and a minimum consolidated net worth. TruStage was in compliance with its covenants at December 31, 2025 and 2024. As of December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the facility and accordingly, the entire facility was available for general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2024, the amount outstanding on the revolving credit agreement including accrued interest was $350,530, borrowed by TruStage. The $449,470 unused portion of the facility was available for use.

The Company has established a liability of $1,661 and $1,660 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for guaranty fund assessments. The Company also estimates the amount recoverable from future premium tax payments related to these accrued and paid assessments and has established an asset of $4,933 and $5,474 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The assessment is primarily related to Bankers Life and Colorado Bankers Life insurance company bankruptcies. Recoveries of assessments from premium taxes are generally made over a five year period.

Legal Matters

 

Various legal and regulatory actions, including state market conduct exams and federal tax audits, are currently pending that involve the Company and specific aspects of its conduct of business. Like other members of the insurance industry, the Company is routinely involved in a number of lawsuits and other types of proceedings, some of which may involve claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts. These actions are based on a variety of issues and involve a range of the Company’s practices. The ultimate outcome of these disputes is unpredictable.

 

These matters in some cases raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities, including but not limited to, the underlying facts of each matter; novel legal issues; variations between jurisdictions in which matters are being litigated, heard or investigated; differences in applicable laws and judicial interpretations; the length of time before many of these matters might be resolved by settlement, through litigation or otherwise and, in some cases, the timing of their resolutions relative to other similar matters involving other companies. In connection with regulatory examinations and proceedings, government authorities may seek various forms of relief, including penalties, restitution and changes in business practices. The Company may not be advised of the nature and extent of relief sought until the final stages of the examination or proceeding.

In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from all such pending actions will not materially affect the statutory basis financial statements of the Company.

 

Note 14: Benefit Plans

 

Postretirement Benefit Plans

 

The Company has no ongoing obligation to the qualified defined benefit plans in which its employees participate which are sponsored by its parent but contributes to the annual cost. The Company incurred expenses for these plans of $13,280 and $28,483 in 2025 and 2023, respectively. The Company did not incur any expense for these plans in 2024.

 

The Company maintains non-qualified defined benefit plans for certain employees and directors, as well as postretirement benefit plans that provide certain medical and life insurance benefits to eligible participants and dependents. The cost of postretirement benefits is recognized over the period the employees perform services to earn the benefits. Retirement medical subsidies were eliminated January 1, 2016 for future retirees who do not meet certain age, years of service and/or employment status criteria. This was pursuant to the amendments to a collective bargaining agreement with represented employees.

 

The measurement date for all benefit plans is December 31.

 

The following tables provide information with respect to the benefit obligations for the years ended at December 31.

Balance at end of year  $6,689   $6,729   $(20,301)  $(23,392)

 

The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost that will be amortized into net periodic benefit cost during 2026 for the non-qualified pension plans are $246 and $0, respectively. The estimated net actuarial gain and prior service cost that will be amortized for the other postretirement benefit plans are $1,267 and $164, respectively.

 

The accumulated benefit obligation (“ABO”) represents the actuarial net present value of estimated future benefit obligations. The ABO for pension plans was $45,489 and $44,216 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Net periodic benefit cost  $3,735   $3,756   $3,873   $3,251   $3,861   $3,428

 

The actuarial assumptions used to develop pension and other postretirement benefit obligations for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

         
         
   Pension Benefits  Other Postretirement Benefits
  2025 2024 2025 2024
         
Weighted average assumptions at December 31 for benefit cost:          
Discount rate 5.8% 5.3% 5.8% 5.5%
Rate of compensation increase 5.3% 5.3% 5.3% 5.3%
         
Weighted average assumptions at December 31 for obligation:          
Discount rate 5.7% 5.8% 5.8% 5.8%
Rate of compensation increase 5.3% 5.3% 5.3% 5.3%

 

For measurement purposes, a 6.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed, decreasing gradually to 3.7% for 2075 and thereafter.

 

Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A 1% increase (or decrease) in the assumed health care cost trend rate for each year would increase (decrease) the accumulated other postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2025 by $1,349 or ($1,261) and the annual net periodic other postretirement benefit cost for the year then ended by $85 or ($79).

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

 

Expected future benefit payments for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

         
        Other
        Postretirement
        Benefits
    Pension   Including
    Benefits   Subsidy

The Company anticipates remitting $10,000 in 2026 to TruStage for TruStage’s contribution to the pension plans it sponsors for which the Company’s employees participate. Such remittance will be recorded as expense upon payment. For the remaining pension plans and other postretirement benefits, the employer contributions will be equivalent to the estimated 2026 benefits.

 

Defined Contribution Plans

 

The Company sponsors thrift and savings plans, which cover substantially all regular full-time employees and agents who meet certain eligibility requirements. Under the plans, the Company may make contributions based on certain criteria. The Company’s contributions for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were $23,875, $23,905, and $23,978, respectively and are recorded as a general insurance expense.

Note 17: Separate Accounts

 

Separate accounts represent funds that are invested to support the Company’s obligations under variable annuities, variable life policies and registered indexed annuities. The assets of the separate accounts are carried at fair value, with the exception of certain assets for the registered indexed annuities, which are carried at amortized cost, or the lower of amortized cost or fair value, based on the security’s NAIC designation or for limited partnerships which are carried at cost plus or minus the separate account’s equity in the undistributed earnings or losses as reported by the partnerships. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Prescribed Statutory Accounting Practice for additional information regarding this prescribed practice.

 

The general account of the Company has a maximum guarantee of separate account variable annuity liabilities of $137,559 and $152,105 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The general account paid $624, $682, and $996 in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, towards variable annuity guarantees. The separate account paid risk charges to the general account related to these guarantees of $22,556, $20,039, and $17,513 in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

CMFG LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Reinsurance Contract Interrogatories

Year Ended December 31, 2025 

 

 

1.CMFG Life has applied reinsurance accounting, as described in SSAP No. 61R, to reinsurance contracts entered into, renewed or amended on or after January 1, 1996, which do not include risk-limiting features, as described in SSAP No. 61R.

2.CMFG Life has not entered into, renewed or amended reinsurance contracts on or after January 1, 1996, which contain provisions that allow (1) the reporting of losses or settlements with the reinsurer to occur less frequently than quarterly or (2) payments due from the reinsurer to not be made in cash within ninety days of the settlement date unless there is no activity during the period.

3.CMFG Life has not entered into, renewed or amended reinsurance contracts on or after January 1, 1996, which contain a payment schedule, accumulating retentions from multiple years or any features inherently designed to delay timing of the reimbursement to the ceding company.

4.CMFG Life cedes an 80% quota share of certain fixed annuity contracts which are accounted for as reinsurance ceded under statutory accounting. These contracts are accounted for as investment-type contracts under GAAP; as such, deposits are not reported as revenues for GAAP. Consequently, deposit accounting is used to account for GAAP.
