BUSINESS DISCUSSIONS
On November 21, 2011, MetLife announced it was reorganizing into
three broad geographic regions – The Americas, EMEA (Europe, the
Middle East and Africa) and Asia – to better reflect the company’s
global reach. MetLife expects to report financial results under
this new structure beginning with the first quarter of 2012.
During the fourth quarter of 2011, MetLife began reporting
certain operations of MetLife Bank and insurance operations in the
Caribbean Region, Panama and Costa Rica as divested businesses.
These operations are excluded from operating earnings as well as
investment portfolio and derivative gains and losses. Prior periods
have been reclassified to conform with the current period segment
presentation.
All comparisons of fourth quarter 2011 results in the business
discussions that follow are with the fourth quarter of 2010, unless
otherwise noted. Reconciliations of segment net income to segment
operating earnings are provided in the tables that accompany this
release and in the Fourth Quarter 2011 Quarterly Financial
Supplement, which is available on the Investor Relations section of
www.metlife.com.
U.S. BUSINESS
- U.S. Business operating earnings of
$932 million, up 4%; the annual review of deferred policy
acquisition costs (“DAC”) assumptions and other adjustments
resulted in a net $27 million, or $0.03 per share, after tax,
increase in U.S. Business operating earnings
- Favorable underwriting results in group
life and continued improvement in non-medical health underwriting,
particularly in the dental business
- Variable annuity sales of $7.2
billion
- Premiums, fees & other revenues of
$7.6 billion, up 7% primarily due to growth in Retirement Products
and Corporate Benefit Funding
Insurance Products
Operating earnings for Insurance Products – which includes group
life, individual life and non-medical health insurance – were $411
million, up 33% largely due to the positive impact of DAC and other
adjustments in individual life as well as favorable underwriting
results in group life and non-medical health. Premiums, fees &
other revenues for Insurance Products were $5.1 billion, relatively
unchanged.
Retirement Products
Operating earnings for Retirement Products – which includes the
company’s U.S. annuity products – were $216 million, down 5% due to
the negative impact of DAC and other adjustments as well as lower
variable investment income, offset by growth from strong positive
net flows and higher core spreads. Compared with the fourth quarter
of 2010 and the third quarter of 2011, total annuity sales
increased 41% and declined 15%, respectively, primarily due to a
change in the level of variable annuity sales. Premiums, fees &
other revenues for Retirement Products were $1.0 billion, up 35%
due to increased sales of immediate annuities and higher fee
income.
Corporate Benefit Funding
Operating earnings for Corporate Benefit Funding – which
includes the U.S. and U.K. pension closeout businesses, structured
settlements and other benefit funding products – were $224 million,
down 21% primarily due to lower variable investment income.
Premiums, fees & other revenues for Corporate Benefit Funding
were $739 million, up 44% largely due to higher pension closeout
sales (which often fluctuate significantly from quarter to
quarter).
Auto & Home
Operating earnings for Auto & Home were $81 million, up 9%
due mainly to lower catastrophes. In addition, favorable
non-catastrophe claim development related to prior accident years
was $14 million, or $0.01 per share, after tax, compared with $16
million, after tax, in the fourth quarter of 2010. Excluding
catastrophes, Auto & Home’s combined ratio remained strong at
90.2%, compared with 90.0%. Net written premiums were $740 million,
up 2%.
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
- International operating earnings of
$570 million, up 89% largely due to the acquisition of Alico2
- Total International sales up 12%
compared with combined MetLife and Alico fourth quarter 2010
results
- Premiums, fees & other revenues of
$3.8 billion, reflecting growth in Latin America, Eastern Europe
and the Middle East as well as the negative impact of foreign
currency exchange rates
Japan
Operating earnings in Japan were $326 million, up 3% over the
third quarter of 2011 largely due to higher net investment income
and both solid underwriting results and improved persistency in
accident and health insurance. Compared with combined MetLife and
Alico results in the fourth quarter of 2010, sales grew 16%.
Premiums, fees & other revenues in Japan were $1.8 billion,
higher than in the fourth quarter of 2010 (which reflected only one
month of Alico results) and relatively unchanged from the third
quarter of 2011.
Other International Regions
Operating earnings in the Other International Regions were $244
million, up 17%, while premiums, fees & other revenues grew to
$2.0 billion. The increases, which were largely due to the Alico
acquisition, were partially offset by the negative impact of
foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, in Latin America,
premiums, fees & other revenues grew due to premium increases
in Mexico, Chile and Argentina. Premiums, fees & other revenues
also benefited from strong performance in the Middle East and
Eastern Europe.
2MetLife acquired Alico on November 1, 2010. Accordingly,
Alico’s financial results prior to that date are not reflected in
MetLife’s historical financial statements.
CORPORATE & OTHER
Corporate & Other had an operating loss of $104 million,
compared with an operating loss of $2 million. Results in the
fourth quarter of 2010 benefited from several one-time items, while
the fourth quarter of 2011 was impacted by higher expenses.
INVESTMENTS
Net investment income was $4.9 billion, up 11% from the fourth
quarter of 2010 and down slightly from the third quarter of 2011.
During the fourth quarter of 2011, variable investment income was
within the plan range at $247 million ($162 million, after tax and
the impact of DAC). In the fourth quarter of 2010, variable
investment income was $423 million ($268 million, after tax and the
impact of DAC).
For the fourth quarter of 2011, MetLife reported a $213 million,
after tax, investment portfolio net loss compared with an
investment portfolio net gain of $6 million, after tax.
Separately, MetLife reported derivative net gains of $351
million, after tax, which were largely due to declines in interest
rates and gains in the company’s variable annuity hedging program.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, MetLife reported $1.1 billion, after
tax, in derivative net losses. MetLife uses derivatives in
connection with its broader portfolio management strategy to hedge
a number of risks, including changes in interest rates and
fluctuations in foreign currencies. Movement in interest rates,
foreign currencies and MetLife’s credit spreads – which impact the
valuation of certain insurance liabilities – can generate
derivative gains or losses. Derivative gains or losses related to
MetLife’s credit spreads do not have an economic impact on the
company.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial
Disclosures
All references in this press release (except in this section) to
net income (loss), net income (loss) per share, operating earnings,
operating earnings per share, book value per share, and premiums,
fees and other revenues, should be read as net income (loss)

available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders per diluted common
share, operating earnings available to common shareholders,
operating earnings available to common shareholders per diluted
common share, book value per common share, and premiums, fees and

Operating earnings is the measure of segment profit or loss that
MetLife uses to evaluate segment performance and allocate
resources. Consistent with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”) accounting guidance for
segment reporting, operating earnings is MetLife’s measure of
segment performance. Operating earnings is also a measure by which
MetLife senior management’s and many other employees’ performance
is evaluated for the purposes of determining their compensation
under applicable compensation plans.
Operating earnings is defined as operating revenues less
operating expenses, both net of income tax. Operating earnings
available to common shareholders is defined as operating earnings
less preferred stock dividends.
Operating revenues and operating expenses exclude results of
discontinued operations and other businesses that have been or will
be sold or exited by MetLife (“Divested Businesses”). Operating
revenues also excludes net investment gains (losses) (“NIGL”) and
net derivative gains (losses) (“NDGL”).
The following additional adjustments are made to GAAP revenues,
in the line items indicated, in calculating operating revenues:
- Universal life and investment-type
product policy fees excludes the amortization of unearned revenue
related to NIGL and NDGL and certain variable annuity guaranteed
minimum income benefits (“GMIB”) fees (“GMIB Fees”);
- Net investment income: (i) includes
amounts for scheduled periodic settlement payments and amortization
of premium on derivatives that are hedges of investments but do not
qualify for hedge accounting treatment, (ii) includes income from
discontinued real estate operations, (iii) excludes post-tax
operating earnings adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures
accounted for under the equity method, (iv) excludes certain
amounts related to contractholder-directed unit-linked investments,
and (v) excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities
that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) consolidated under
GAAP; and
- Other revenues are adjusted for
settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges.
The following additional adjustments are made to GAAP expenses,
in the line items indicated, in calculating operating expenses:
- Policyholder benefits and claims and
policyholder dividends excludes: (i) changes in the policyholder
dividend obligation related to NIGL and NDGL, (ii)
inflation-indexed benefit adjustments associated with contracts
backed by inflation-indexed investments and amounts associated with
periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a
contractually referenced pool of assets, (iii) benefits and hedging
costs related to GMIBs (“GMIB Costs”), and (iv) market value
adjustments associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts
(“Market Value Adjustments”);
- Interest credited to policyholder
account balances includes adjustments for scheduled periodic
settlement payments and amortization of premium on derivatives that
are hedges of policyholder account balances but do not qualify for
hedge accounting treatment and excludes amounts related to net
investment income earned on contractholder-directed unit-linked
investments;
- Amortization of DAC and value of
business acquired (“VOBA”) excludes amounts related to: (i) NIGL
and NDGL, (ii) GMIB Fees and GMIB Costs and (iii) Market Value
Adjustments;
- Amortization of negative VOBA excludes
amounts related to Market Value Adjustments;
- Interest expense on debt excludes
certain amounts related to securitization entities that are VIEs
consolidated under GAAP; and
- Other expenses excludes costs related
to: (i) noncontrolling interests, (ii) implementation of new
insurance regulatory requirements, and (iii) business
combinations.
MetLife believes the presentation of operating earnings and
operating earnings available to common shareholders as MetLife
measures it for management purposes enhances the understanding of
the company’s performance by highlighting the results of operations
and the underlying profitability drivers of the business. Operating
revenues, operating expenses, operating earnings, operating
earnings available to common shareholders, operating earnings
available to common shareholders per diluted common share, book
value per common share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive
income (“AOCI”), and book value per diluted common share, excluding
AOCI, should not be viewed as substitutes for the following
financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP: GAAP
revenues, GAAP expenses, GAAP income (loss) from continuing
operations, net of income tax, GAAP net income (loss) available to
MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders, GAAP net income (loss)
available to MetLife, Inc.’s common shareholders per diluted common
share, book value per common share, and book value per diluted
common share, respectively. Reconciliations of these measures to
the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the
Fourth Quarter 2011 Quarterly Financial Supplement and/or in the
tables that accompany this earnings press release.
Statistical sales information for life insurance is calculated
by MetLife using the LIMRA International, Inc. definition of sales
for core direct sales, excluding company sponsored internal
exchanges, corporate-owned life insurance, bank-owned life
insurance, and private placement variable universal life insurance.
Individual annuities sales consists of statutory premiums direct
and assumed, excluding company sponsored internal exchanges.
