1. Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at, and for the three-month period ended, March 31, 2022 (‘first quarter 2022’ or ‘1Q 2022’), have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, as adopted by the European Union (hereafter ‘EU-IFRS’). They do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS and should therefore be read together with the 2021 consolidated financial statements of Aegon N.V. as included in Aegon’s Integrated Annual Report for 2021. Aegon’s Integrated Annual Report for 2021 is available on its website (aegon.com).

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and those financial instruments (including derivatives) and financial liabilities that have been measured at fair value. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at, and for the three-month period ended, March 31, 2022, were approved by the Supervisory Board on May 11, 2022.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in euro (EUR) and all values are rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise stated. The consequence is that the rounded amounts may not add up to the rounded total in all cases.

The published figures in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.

2. Significant accounting policies

All accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the 2021 consolidated financial statements. New IFRS accounting standards and amendments that became effective on or after January 1, 2022 had no material impact on Aegon’s financial position or condensed consolidated interim financial statements (refer to paragraph 2.1).

2.1 New IFRS accounting standards effective from 2022

In 2022, the following amendments to existing standards issued by the IASB became effective:

    IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets;

 

    IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; and

 

    IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

2.2 Future adoption of new EU-IFRS accounting standards and amendments

For a complete overview of IFRS standards and amendments issued before January 1, 2022, which will be applied in future years and were not early adopted by the Group, please refer to Aegon’s Integrated Annual Report for 2021.

The IASB did not issue new amendments to its current standards in the three-month period ended, March 31, 2022.

2.3 Judgments and critical accounting estimates

Preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, including the likelihood, timing or amount of future transactions or events, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. These estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Macro-economic context

In the first three-month period of 2022, we have seen the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which caused a humanitarian crisis and also impacted global financial markets and caused significant economic turbulence. Equity markets in Aegon’s three main markets decreased in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the growth of equity markets in 2021. Furthermore, although interest rates remain low, compared to December 31, 2021 interest rates have increased significantly in Aegon’s main markets. Additionally, credit spreads have widened compared to December 31, 2021 and affected Aegon’s results.

Uncertainty resulting from COVID-19

In the first three-month period of 2022 the COVID-19 pandemic continued to cause significant disruption to business, markets, and the industry. Progress on vaccinations has reduced the spread of COVID-19 and will likely continue to reduce the effects of the public health crisis on the economy. However, the pace of vaccinations has slowed down, and new strains of the virus and reduced availability of healthcare remain risks.

In the first three-month period of 2022 Aegon’s operating result in the Americas was impacted by EUR 102 million of adverse mortality in Life, of which EUR 55 million (first three-month period of 2021: EUR 79 million) of claims are directly attributable to COVID-19 as the cause of death. This was offset by favorable morbidity experience in Accident & Health and is mostly related to Long-Term Care insurance with higher claims terminations due to higher mortality and discharges from care facilities. In 1Q 2022, Aegon continue to observe positive morbidity in Long-Term Care, but less favorable when compared to prior year. In 1Q 2022, Aegon continued to release a portion of the Long-Term Care incurred but not reported (IBNR) reserve established during the peak of the pandemic.

Aegon Group’s Solvency II capital position remained at a strong level of 210% per March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: 211%).

Aegon continues to monitor the relevant market and the economic factors to proactively manage the associated risks. Management believes that the most significant risks are related to financial markets (particularly credit, equity, and interest rates risks) and underwriting risks (particularly related to mortality, morbidity, and policyholder behavior).

Actuarial and economic assumptions

In the first three-month period of 2022, Aegon implemented no actuarial assumption and model updates (first three-month period of 2021: EUR 51 million gain).

Sensitivities

Sensitivity on variable annuities and variable life insurance products in the United States

Sensitivities of Aegon’s variable annuities and variable life insurance products in the United States on expected long-term equity growth rate have not significantly changed compared to the sensitivities as reported in the Aegon’s 2021 Integrated Annual Report.

Sensitivity on liability adequacy test (LAT) in the Netherlands

At March 31, 2022 the liability adequacy test (LAT) of Aegon the Netherlands remains in a deficit position. The LAT assesses the adequacy of the insurance liabilities by comparing them to their fair value. Aegon the Netherlands adjusts the outcome of the LAT for certain unrealized gains in the bond portfolio and certain differences between the fair value and the book value of assets measured at amortized cost, mainly residential mortgages. Please also refer to Note 2.19f Liability adequacy testing of Aegon’s 2021 Integrated Annual Report for further details on the accounting policy.

March 31, 2022

 

The LAT deficit per March 31, 2022 in Aegon the Netherlands amounted to EUR 3.4 billion (December 31, 2021: EUR 5.2 billion), which was partially offset by the shadow loss recognition of EUR 1.5 billion (December 31, 2021: EUR 3.0 billion), resulting in a net deficit of EUR 1.9 billion (December 31, 2021: EUR 2.2 billion). The improvement of the LAT deficit by EUR 0.3 billion is driven by market movements (mainly increased interest rates and widening credit spreads, partly offset by the increased inflation curve) and is recorded in the income statement as part of benefits and expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

Sensitivities of Aegon the Netherlands on bond credit spread, mortgage spread and liquidity premium assumptions to assess the impact on the LAT have not significantly changed compared to the sensitivities as reported in the 2021 Aegon’s Integrated Annual Report, except for sensitivities to interest rates. Following a decrease in the LAT deficit position per March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 the sensitivity to interest rates has changed. An increase of 100 bps in interest rates would result in a decrease in LAT deficit of EUR 2.8 billion (December 31, 2021: EUR 3.3 billion). A decrease of 100 bps would result in an increase in LAT deficit of approximately EUR 3.6 billion (December 31, 2021: EUR 4.3 billion).

2.4 Other

Taxes

Taxes on income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, are calculated using the tax rate that is estimated to be applicable to earnings for the full year.

Exchange rates

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency at the closing rates on the reporting date. Income, expenses and capital transactions (such as dividends) are translated at average exchange rates or at the prevailing rates on the transaction date, if more appropriate. The following exchange rates (most relevant rates to Aegon) are applied for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements:

Certain financial instruments that are not carried at fair value are carried at amounts that approximate fair value, due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term receivables and accrued interest receivable, short-term liabilities, and accrued liabilities. These instruments are not included in the table above.

Share buyback

During 1Q 2022, Aegon executed a program to repurchase 10,158,360 common shares for an amount of EUR 50 million to meet its obligations resulting from the 2021 and 2022 share-based compensation plans for senior management. Between January 7, 2022 and January 24, 2022, these common shares were repurchased at an average price of EUR 4.9227 per share. These shares are held as treasury shares and are used to cover future stock dividends.

On March 23, 2022, Aegon announced that it intends to return EUR 300 million of surplus cash capital to shareholders via a share buyback in the course of 2022, barring unforeseen circumstances. The share buyback will be executed in three tranches of EUR 100 million each, with each tranche conditional on maintaining the capital positions of Aegon’s main units in line with its stated ambitions, and the Cash Capital at the Holding being above the middle of the operating range.

The EUR 300 million share buyback program commenced on April 1, 2022 and is expected to be completed on or before December 15, 2022. The first tranche of EUR 100 million is expected to be completed on or before June 30, 2022. For each tranche Aegon will engage a third party to execute the buyback transactions on its behalf. The common shares will be repurchased at a maximum of the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices during the repurchase period, and will subsequently be proposed to be cancelled at Aegon’s 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

The Solvency II revaluations and reclassifications mainly stem from the difference in valuation and presentation between EU-IFRS and Solvency II frameworks.

Availability adjustments in the first three months of 2022 decreased, compared to the position at December 31, 2021, mainly due to the tender offer (EUR 386 million) and the share buyback (EUR 300 million), as these items are included in foreseeable dividends and other distributions to holders of equity instruments. For more information about the tender offer and share buyback to note 19 Post reporting date events.

17. Commitments and contingencies

There have been no material changes in commitments and contingencies as reported in Aegon’s 2021 Integrated Annual Report.

18. Acquisitions/Divestments

On March 23, 2022, Aegon completed the divestment of its Hungarian businesses to Vienna Insurance Group AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe (VIG). The gross proceeds of the transaction amount to EUR 620 million. As a result of the transaction, the Group Solvency II ratio improved by approximately 6 percentage points. The book gain amounted to EUR 372 million, which includes a loss of EUR 39 million related to the recycling of the foreign currency translation reserve and revaluation reserve though the income statement. As a result of this transaction, IFRS equity has increased by EUR 411 million. The completion of this sale is part of the full closing of the sale of Aegon’s insurance, pension, and asset management businesses in Central and Eastern Europe to VIG for EUR 830 million, as announced in November 2020.

On February 28, 2022, Transamerica acquired 100% equity interest in TAG Resources, LLC (TAG). TAG aggregates small to mid-market employer retirement plans (pooled-plan space) and provides administration and fiduciary oversight services as a third-party administrator for such plans, including providing plan design, consulting, and compliance to plan sponsors. The acquisition does not have a material impact on Aegon’s capital position or results.

19. Post reporting date events

On April 21, 2022 Aegon completed the divestment of its Turkish business to Vienna Insurance Group AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe (VIG). The divestment had no material impact on Aegon’s capital position and operational results going forward.

On April 1, 2022 Aegon completed a tender offer buying back EUR 429 million of perpetual capital securities, part of the EUR 950 million notes issued in 2004. Aegon bought back the securities at a purchase price of 90%. The gain realized on this tender offer amounts to EUR 43 million and will be recognized in retained earnings in 2Q 2022. The impact of this transaction has been reflected in Aegon’s Solvency II position in line with its policy to record foreseeable transactions in 1Q 2022.

Furthermore, a share buyback program of EUR 300 million has been announced on March 23, 2022 to be executed in the course of 2022, barring unforeseen circumstances. The share buyback will be executed in three tranches of EUR 100 million each, with each tranche conditional on maintaining the capital positions of Aegon’s main units in line with its stated ambitions, and the Cash Capital at the Holding being above the middle of the operating range.

The EUR 300 million share buyback program commenced on April 1, 2022 and is expected to be completed on or before December 15, 2022. For each tranche Aegon will engage a third party to execute the buyback transaction on its behalf. The first tranche of EUR 100 million is expected to be completed on or before June 30, 2022. The common shares will be repurchased at a maximum of the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices during the repurchase period, and will subsequently be proposed to be cancelled at Aegon’s 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Disclaimers

Cautionary note regarding non-EU-IFRS measures

This document includes the following non-EU-IFRS financial measures: operating result, income tax and result before tax. These non-EU-IFRS measures are calculated by consolidating on a proportionate basis Aegon’s joint ventures and associated companies. The reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable EU-IFRS measure is provided in note 3 ‘Segment information’ of Aegon’s Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. Aegon believes that these non-EU-IFRS measures, together with the EU-IFRS information, provide meaningful supplemental information about the operating results of Aegon’s business including insight into the financial measures that senior management uses in managing the business.

  -  

The effects of corporate bankruptcies and/or accounting restatements on the financial markets and the resulting decline in the value of equity and debt securities Aegon holds;

  -  

The effects of declining creditworthiness of certain public sector securities and the resulting decline in the value of government exposure that Aegon holds;

 

Changes in the performance of Aegon’s investment portfolio and decline in ratings of Aegon’s counterparties;

 

Lowering of one or more of Aegon’s debt ratings issued by recognized rating organizations and the adverse impact such action may have on Aegon’s ability to raise capital and on its liquidity and financial condition;

 

Lowering of one or more of insurer financial strength ratings of Aegon’s insurance subsidiaries and the adverse impact such action may have on the written premium, policy retention, profitability and liquidity of its insurance subsidiaries;

 

The effect of the European Union’s Solvency II requirements and other regulations in other jurisdictions affecting the capital Aegon is required to maintain;

 

Changes affecting interest rate levels and continuing low or rapidly changing interest rate levels;

 

Changes affecting currency exchange rates, in particular the EUR/USD and EUR/GBP exchange rates;

Increasing levels of competition in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and emerging markets;

 

Catastrophic events, either manmade or by nature, including by way of example acts of God, acts of terrorism, acts of war and pandemics, could result in material losses and significantly interrupt Aegon’s business;

 

The frequency and severity of insured loss events;

 

Changes affecting longevity, mortality, morbidity, persistence and other factors that may impact the profitability of Aegon’s insurance products;

 

Aegon’s projected results are highly sensitive to complex mathematical models of financial markets, mortality, longevity, and other dynamic systems subject to shocks and unpredictable volatility. Should assumptions to these models later prove incorrect, or should errors in those models escape the controls in place to detect them, future performance will vary from projected results;

 

Reinsurers to whom Aegon has ceded significant underwriting risks may fail to meet their obligations;
