WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (February 17, 2021) - American Equity Investment Life Holding Company (NYSE: AEL), a leading issuer of fixed index annuities (FIAs) today reported fourth quarter 2020 net loss available to common stockholders of $6.3 million, or $(0.07) per diluted common share, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $220.2 million, or $2.40 per diluted common share, for fourth quarter 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net income available to common stockholders was $637.9 million, or $6.90 per diluted common share, compared to $246.1 million, or $2.68 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Non-GAAP operating income1 available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter 2020 was $71.7 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share, compared to non-GAAP operating income1 available to common stockholders of $125.8 million, or $1.37 per diluted common share, for fourth quarter 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, non-GAAP operating income1 was $69.1 million, or $0.75 per diluted common share, compared to $548.2 million, or $5.97 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2019. For full year 2020, non-GAAP operating return1 on average common stockholders' equity excluding average AOCI1 was 2.3% based on reported results and 11.9% excluding the impact of notable items.
The year-over-year decreases in quarterly non-GAAP operating income1 available to common stockholders and non-GAAP operating income1 per share available to common stockholders were primarily attributable to lower investment spread income, an increase in other operating costs and expenses, and a greater increase in the liability for future policy benefits to be paid for lifetime income benefit riders, partially offset by a decline in deferred acquisition cost and deferred sales inducement amortization. Actual versus modeled actuarial and policyholder experience in the quarter had two offsetting impacts on results, positively affecting amortization of deferred acquisition and sales inducement costs by $16 million but adding to the increase in the liability for future policy benefits to be paid for lifetime income benefit riders by $16 million.
Other operating costs and expenses increased to $55 million from $43 million in the third quarter of 2020 and $39 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 in part reflecting advisory fees related to the unsolicited offer for the company in September.
INVESTMENT SPREAD DECREASES SEQUENTIALLY ON LOWER INVESTMENT YIELD.
American Equity’s investment spread was 2.25% for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 2.44% for the third quarter of 2020 and 2.77% for the fourth quarter of 2019. On a sequential basis, the average yield on invested assets decreased by 22 basis points while the cost of money fell by 3 basis points.
Average yield on invested assets was 3.88% in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 4.10% in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in investment yield was primarily driven by retention of a higher level of liquidity in the investment portfolios of the life insurance companies. The average adjusted yield on invested assets excluding non-trendable items was 3.77% in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 4.00% in the third quarter of 2020.
The aggregate cost of money for annuity liabilities of 1.63% in the fourth quarter of 2020 was down 3 basis points from 1.66% in the third quarter of 2020. The cost of money in the fourth quarter was positively affected by 1 basis points from over-hedging of index-linked credits compared to 3 basis point of hedge gain in the third quarter.
Commenting on investment spread, Anant Bhalla, Chief Executive Officer, said: "The decrease in average yield on investment assets was attributable to a 22-basis point reduction from interest foregone due to an increase in the amount of cash held in the life insurance company portfolios in the quarter. Cash and short term investments in the quarter averaged $4.4 billion over the fourth quarter compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter."
Bhalla continued: "We accumulated substantial liquidity in the investment portfolio this quarter as we repositioned our invested assets by de-risking out of nearly $2 billion of structured securities and $2.4 billion of corporate securities and built up additional cash in anticipation of the approximately $7 billion needed for redeployment to the Värde-Agam and Brookfield reinsurance transactions. Excluding excess cash, which may be pre-invested prior to transfer, and invested assets to be transferred as part of the reinsurance transactions, the current point-in-time yield on our investment portfolio is approximately 4%."
POLICYHOLDER FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT INCREASE 2.0% ON $1.8 BILLION OF SALES
Policyholder funds under management at December 31, 2020 were $54.1 billion, a $1.1 billion, or 2.0% increase from September 30, 2020. Fourth quarter gross and net sales were $1,845 million and $1,839 million, respectively, representing increases of 100% and 118% from fourth quarter 2019 sales. On a sequential basis, gross and net sales increased 221% and 224%, respectively. Compared to the third quarter of 2020, gross sales at American Equity Life increased 103% while Eagle Life sales rose 630%.
Commenting on sales, Bhalla stated: "In the fourth quarter, we reintroduced ourselves to our markets. Driven by the introduction of competitive three- and five-year single premium deferred annuity products at both American Equity Life and Eagle Life, we saw a substantial increase in sales with total deposits of $1.8 billion, doubling from the prior year quarter and up 221% from the third quarter of 2020. Although fixed rate annuities were the major driver of the fourth quarter sales increase, fixed index annuity sales were up 23% sequentially."
PROGRESS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF AEL 2.0
Speaking about the AEL 2.0 strategy, Bhalla stated: "During the quarter, AEL continued to make strong progress on the implementation of the AEL 2.0 strategy. The fourth quarter of 2020 was the start of our turnaround in the Go-to-Market pillar. We used the fourth quarter to tell distribution we were back and committed to offering competitive products. Along with the successful introduction of our multi-year fixed-rate annuity lineup, we are refreshing our AssetShield accumulation product and will soon launch a compelling, single accumulation annuity product that covers both traditional equity indices and multi-asset custom indices focused on U.S. risk parity, global risk-controlled asset allocation and sector specific allocations. Our lifetime guaranteed income products are very competitive in both the independent agent and financial institutions markets. Sales momentum has continued into the first quarter of this year."
Bhalla went on to add: "While we are not done in Go-to-Market, our focus for much of the remainder of 2021 will be on the Investment Management and Capital Structure pillars of AEL 2.0. In the Investment Management pillar, we intend to focus on our allocation to alpha-generating assets. In the fourth quarter, we closed on our investment in Pretium, a leading asset manager in the residential mortgage loan space. Earlier today, we announced a strategic partnership with Adams Street Credit Advisors to form a new management company to sponsor and manage investment vehicles that will invest in secured loans to U.S. middle market private companies backed by private equity sponsors. In the Capital Structure pillar, we are working diligently to complete the previously announced reinsurance transactions with Värde-Agam and Brookfield Asset Management and the build out of our own offshore reinsurer."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to net income (loss) available to common stockholders, we have consistently utilized non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders and non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders per common share - assuming dilution, non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in the life insurance industry, as economic measures to evaluate our financial performance. Non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders equals net income (loss) available to common stockholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of items that fluctuate from quarter to quarter in a manner unrelated to core operations, and we believe measures excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends. The most significant adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders eliminate the impact of fair value accounting for our fixed index annuity business. These adjustments are not economic in nature but rather impact the timing of reported results. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders together with net income (loss) available to common stockholders provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our underlying results and profitability.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Average Common Stockholders' Equity and Return on Average Common Stockholders' Equity
Return on average common stockholders' equity measures how efficiently we generate profits from the resources provided by our net assets. Return on average common stockholders' equity and non-GAAP operating return on average common stockholders' equity are calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders and non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders, respectively, for the trailing twelve months by average total stockholders' equity excluding average equity available to preferred stockholders and average accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). We exclude AOCI because AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments.

(a)Q3 2020 includes expense from the revision of assumptions used in determining reserves held for lifetime income benefit riders. The impact increased interest sensitive and index products by $285.8 million and decreased both net income and net income available to common stockholders by $224.4 million and decreased earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $2.44 per share.
(b)Q3 2020 includes expense from the revision of assumptions which increased amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $391.4 million and $589.2 million, respectively, and decreased both net income and net income available to common stockholders by $769.8 million and decreased earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $8.35 per share.
(c)Q3 2020 includes a benefit from the revision of assumptions used in determining the embedded derivative component of our fixed index annuity policy benefit reserves. The impact decreased change in fair value of embedded derivatives by $2,111.1 million and increased both net income and net income available to common stockholders by $1,657.2 million and increased earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $17.98 per share.
(d)Q2 2020 includes a benefit from the revision of assumptions used in determining the embedded derivative component of our fixed index annuity policy benefit reserves. The impact decreased change in fair value of embedded derivatives by $230.1 million, increased amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $36.7 million and $57.6 million, respectively, and decreased both net loss and net loss available to common stockholders by $106.5 million and reduced loss per common share - assuming dilution by $1.16 per share.

(e)Q1 2020 includes a tax benefit related to the provision of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, (“the CARES ACT”) which was signed into legislation on March 27, 2020 and allows net operating losses for 2018 through 2020 to be carried back to previous tax years in which a 35% statutory tax rate was in effect. The impact reduced income tax expense and increased both net income and net income available to common stockholders by $30.8 million and increased earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $0.33 per share.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to net income (loss) available to common stockholders, we have consistently utilized non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders and non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders per common share - assuming dilution, non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in the life insurance industry, as economic measures to evaluate our financial performance. Non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders equals net income (loss) available to common stockholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of items that fluctuate from quarter to quarter in a manner unrelated to core operations, and we believe measures excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends. The most significant adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders eliminate the impact of fair value accounting for our fixed index annuity business. These adjustments are not economic in nature but rather impact the timing of reported results. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of non-GAAP operating income available to common stockholders together with net income (loss) available to common stockholders provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our underlying results and profitability.

(a)Total capitalization excluding AOCI, a non-GAAP financial measure, is based on stockholders' equity excluding the effect of AOCI.
(b)Equity available to preferred stockholders is equal to the redemption value of outstanding preferred stock plus share dividends declared but not yet issued.
(c)Total common stockholders' equity, total common stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and total common stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and the net impact of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives, non-GAAP financial measures, exclude equity available to preferred stockholders. Total common stockholders’ equity and book value per common share excluding AOCI, non-GAAP financial measures, are based on common stockholders’ equity excluding the effect of AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale securities, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information. Total common stockholders' equity and book value per common share excluding AOCI and the net impact of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives, non-GAAP financial measures, are based on common stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and the net impact of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives. Since the net impact of fair value accounting for our derivatives and embedded derivatives fluctuates from quarter to quarter and the most significant impacts relate to fair value accounting for our fixed index annuity business and are not economic in nature but rather impact the timing of reported results, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information.
(d)Book value per common share including and excluding AOCI and book value per common share excluding AOCI and the net impact of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives are calculated as total common stockholders’ equity, total common stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI and total common stockholders' equity excluding AOCI and the net impact of fair value accounting for derivatives and embedded derivatives divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.
(e)Debt-to-capital ratios are computed using total capitalization excluding AOCI.

(a)The minimum guaranteed interest rate for the fixed rate or the fixed rate strategy ranges from 0.5% - 1.75%. The ultimate guaranteed rate is applied on less than 100% of the premium.
If all crediting rates were reduced to minimum guaranteed rates (subject to limitations imposed by ultimate minimum guaranteed rates where applicable) the weighted average crediting rate as of December 31, 2020 for fixed annuities and funds allocated to the fixed rate strategy for fixed index annuities would decrease by 0.11%.
