ATHENE HOLDING LTD. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2020 RESULTS


Company Highlights
Record quarterly organic deposits for the second consecutive quarter of $7.4 billion, increasing 31% year-over-year, and underwritten to returns in excess of targets
Strong execution across organic and inorganic funding channels year-to-date drove robust net invested asset growth of 18% year-over-year, while maintaining high credit quality across the portfolio
Strong return on equity ("ROE") of 16% and adjusted operating ROE in Retirement Services segment of 20%
Attractive profitability with return on assets ("ROA") of 1.33% and adjusted operating ROA excluding notables and AOG of 1.03%
Robust capitalization with $3.2 billion of excess capital and $7.6 billion of total deployable capital

PEMBROKE, Bermuda – November 3, 2020 – Athene Holding Ltd. ("Athene") (NYSE: ATH), a leading provider of retirement savings products, announced today financial results for the third quarter 2020.

“Amid fragile economic conditions and historically low interest rates, our third quarter results demonstrate the continued resilience of Athene’s business and our ability to drive robust, highly profitable growth in any environment," said Jim Belardi, CEO of Athene. “Following consecutive quarters of record organic growth above target returns, we are on pace to exceed $50 billion of total organic and inorganic volumes in 2020, marking our best year of growth ever. While others have been forced to pull back in the current environment, Athene continues to serve as a source of strength for policyholders and business partners. Our numerous competitive advantages, highlighted by our very strong capitalization, enable our business to continue to thrive. The successful execution of our strategy year-to-date has laid the foundation to significantly increase earnings and drive compelling shareholder value in 2021 and beyond.”

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Net income available to AHL common shareholders for the third quarter 2020 was $622 million, or $3.16 per diluted Class A common share ("diluted share"), compared to $276 million, or $1.50 per diluted share for the third quarter 2019. The increase from the prior year quarter was driven by higher adjusted operating income, favorable changes in the fair value of reinsurance assets due to tightening credit spreads, and favorable changes in the net fair value of fixed indexed annuity ("FIA") derivatives primarily due to unlocking, favorable equity market performance, and a lower discount rate resulting from declining interest rates.

Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders for the third quarter 2020 was $302 million, or $1.53 per adjusted operating common share, compared to $243 million, or $1.34 per adjusted operating common share for the third quarter 2019. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily driven by stronger investment income from alternatives, more than half of which are valued on a lagged basis and benefited from capital markets appreciation in the second quarter of 2020 being reflected in the current period.

Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders excluding notables and AOG for the third quarter 2020 was $356 million, or $2.10 per adjusted operating common share, compared to $305 million, or $1.67 per adjusted operating common share for the third quarter 2019. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily driven by the aforementioned strength of investment income from alternatives.

Continued Strong Capital Position
Book value per common share of $83.39 for the period ended September 30, 2020, an increase of 12% year-over-year. Adjusted book value per common share of $53.61, an increase of 6% year-over-year.
Total deployable capital of $7.6 billion, including excess equity capital of $3.2 billion, $2.6 billion of untapped debt capacity1, and $1.8 billion of available undrawn third-party commitments to ACRA.
Total cash and cash equivalents of $7.5 billion, and a liquid bond portfolio of approximately $51 billion.2
Available liquidity of $10.9 billion3 as of September 30, 2020, including $3.4 billion undrawn credit facilities.
ALRe RBC of 449%4 and U.S. RBC of 436% as of September 30, 2020.




1 Untapped debt capacity assumes capacity of 25% debt to capitalization and is subject to general availability and market conditions. Untapped debt capacity has not been adjusted for the $500 million of senior notes issued on October 8, 2020. 2 As of September 30, 2020. Includes $49.1 billion of public corporates ($17 billion held in reinsurance portfolios which are available to fund the benefits for the associated obligations but are restricted from other uses), and $2.1 billion of municipal, political subdivisions, and U.S. and foreign government bonds. 3 Includes cash and cash equivalents, undrawn revolver of $1.25 billion, undrawn committed repurchase facility of $1 billion and undrawn FHLB capacity of $1 billion as of September 30, 2020. 4 ALRe RBC ratio is used to evaluate our capital position and the amount of capital needed to support our Retirement Services segment and is calculated by applying NAIC RBC factors to the statutory financial statements of AHL's non-U.S. reinsurance subsidiaries on an aggregate basis with certain adjustments made by management as described in glossary of Form 10-Q.

Effective February 28, 2020, all Class B common shares were converted into Class A common shares and all Class M common shares were converted into warrants and Class A common shares. Our Class B common shares were economically equivalent to Class A common shares and were convertible to Class A common shares on a one-for-one basis at any time. Our Class M common shares were in the legal form of shares but economically functioned as options as they were convertible into Class A common shares after vesting and settlement of the conversion price. We believe this non-GAAP measure is an appropriate economic representation of our share counts for use in an economic view of book value metrics.

1 Diluted earnings per common share on a GAAP basis for Class A common shares, including diluted Class A weighted average common shares outstanding, includes the dilutive impacts, if any, of Class B common shares, Class M common shares and any other stock-based awards. There were no dilutive securities for the quarter. Diluted earnings per common share on a GAAP basis for Class A common shares are based on allocated net income available to AHL common shareholders of $622 million (100% of net income available to AHL common shareholders) and $227 million (82% of net income available to AHL common shareholders) for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
2 Weighted average common shares outstanding – adjusted operating assumes conversion or settlement of all outstanding items that are able to be converted to or settled in Class A common shares, including the impacts of Class B common shares on a one-for-one basis, the impacts of all Class M common shares net of the conversion price and any other stock-based awards, but excluding any awards for which the exercise or conversion price exceeds the market value of Class A common shares on the applicable measurement date. Effective February 28, 2020, all Class B common shares were converted into Class A common shares and all Class M common shares were converted into warrants and Class A common shares. Our Class B common shares were economically equivalent to Class A common shares and could have been converted to Class A common shares on a one-for-one basis at any time. Our Class M common shares were in the legal form of shares but economically functioned as options as they were convertible into Class A common shares after vesting and settlement of the conversion price. In calculating Class A diluted earnings per common share on a GAAP basis, we are required to apply sequencing rules to determine the dilutive impacts, if any, of our Class B common shares, Class M common shares and any other stock-based awards. To the extent our Class B common shares, Class M common shares and/or any other stock-based awards were not dilutive they were excluded. We believe this non-GAAP measure is an appropriate economic representation of our share counts for use in an economic view of adjusted operating earnings per common share.
3 Weighted average common shares outstanding - adjusted operating excluding Apollo is adjusted to exclude the Athene shares issued in exchange for the AOG units as part of the Apollo transaction, but does not include an adjustment for the shares issued in exchange for $350 million cash.

Deposit Highlights
In the third quarter 2020, Athene generated gross organic deposits of $7.4 billion — a record for the second consecutive quarter, and an increase of 31% year-over-year and 7% quarter-over-quarter. Record organic deposit activity reflected continued strength across the retail, flow reinsurance, and funding agreement1 channels. Importantly, organic deposits were underwritten to strong returns despite the historically low interest rate environment, reflecting the ability to invest in a wider-than-normal spread environment coupled with low funding costs.
Retail: In the third quarter 2020, Athene generated record new retail deposits of $2.5 billion, an increase of 28% year-over-year and, 38% quarter-over-quarter. Sequentially improving volume was driven by strong sales through bank and broker-dealer intermediaries, including record fixed indexed annuity sales in the bank channel driven by new and existing distribution partners. Athene remains a leader in the FIA market, serving as a source of strength for policyholders in committing capital to new policy issuance amid fragile economic conditions.
Flow Reinsurance: In the third quarter 2020, Athene generated record quarterly flow reinsurance deposits of $2.3 billion, an increase of 280% year-over-year and 2% quarter-over-quarter. The increase from the prior year was driven by strong volumes from existing partners that sought to utilize Athene's competitive advantages. As a leader in the flow reinsurance market, Athene remains committed to serving as a source of strength for its reinsurance counterparties in support of their new policy issuance.
Institutional: In the third quarter 2020, Athene generated a near record $2.6 billion of funding agreement activity1 underwritten to very strong returns. Funding agreement activity was highlighted by funding agreement issuances across three distinct currencies, as well as two secured funding agreements. While no pension risk transfer transactions were executed in the third quarter 2020, three transactions totaling $1.6 billion have closed to date in the fourth quarter 2020.
Segment Results
Retirement Services
For the third quarter 2020, adjusted operating income available to common shareholders in Retirement Services was $361 million, an increase of $105 million, or 41%, from the third quarter 2019, resulting in an adjusted operating ROE of 20.2%. Excluding notable items, adjusted operating income available to common shareholders in Retirement Services was $334 million, resulting in an adjusted operating ROE of 18.7%.
The increase in adjusted operating income available to common shareholders over the prior year quarter was primarily driven by higher net investment income from alternatives. Approximately 60% of Athene's alternative investments are valued on a lagged basis and benefited from capital markets appreciation in the second quarter of 2020 being reflected in the current period. In addition, Athene's single largest alternative investment, AmeriHome, generated particularly strong investment income primarily due to strong operating performance.
The net investment spread, which measures net investment earnings less cost of funds, was 1.41% of average net invested assets for the third quarter 2020, an increase of 28 basis points from the third quarter 2019. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily driven by a lower cost of funds partially offset by a modestly lower net investment earned rate (NIER).
The NIER was 4.22% for the third quarter 2020, compared to 4.31% in the prior year quarter. The annualized return on fixed income and other investments during the third quarter 2020 was 3.70%, compared to 4.11% in the prior year quarter, a decline of 41 basis points primarily driven by lower income from floating rate investments resulting from declining interest rates, elevated levels of cash and liquidity amid recent market volatility, and the onboarding of a lower yielding portfolio from Jackson, partially offset by a non-recurring adjustment on derivative collateral. Excluding the non-recurring benefit, the forward net investment earned rate on fixed income and other investments is expected to benefit from investing excess portfolio cash and liquidity, as well as executing the ongoing redeployment of the Jackson portfolio. The net annualized return on alternative investments during the third quarter 2020 was 17.24% compared to 8.90% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the lagged effect from rebounding markets in the second quarter 2020 impacting approximately 60% of the alternatives portfolio as well as strong performance from Athene's largest alternative investment, AmeriHome.
1 Funding agreements are comprised of funding agreements issued under our FABN and FABR programs, funding agreements issued to the FHLB and long-term repurchase agreements.
4


Cost of funds, which is comprised of the total cost of crediting on deferred annuities and institutional products as well as other liability costs, was 2.81% for the third quarter 2020, a decrease of 37 basis points from the third quarter 2019, driven by lower crediting rates and other liability costs.
Total cost of crediting was 1.87% for the third quarter 2020, a decrease of 9 basis points from the prior year quarter, driven by lower crediting rates for the institutional business. The cost of crediting on institutional business was 2.95%, a decrease of 73 basis points from the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decline was driven by an increasing mix of new issue funding agreements at lower rates, declining rates on floating-rate funding agreements, as well as favorable mortality developments within pension risk transfer obligations. The cost of crediting on deferred annuities was 1.98%, in line with the prior year quarter, as the onboarding of the reinsured Jackson block with a higher initial crediting rate offset favorable crediting rate actions on in-force renewals and lower crediting rates on new deferred annuity issuance amid a declining interest rate environment.
Other liability costs were 0.94% for the third quarter 2020, a decrease of 28 basis points from the prior year quarter, primarily due to favorable changes in unlocking and equity market performance relative to the prior year quarter, partially offset by an increase in gross profits impacting rider reserves and DAC amortization. Other liability costs also benefited from the onboarding of the reinsured Jackson block, which carries a more favorable level of other liability costs.
Corporate & Other
In the third quarter 2020, the adjusted operating loss available to common shareholders was $59 million in Corporate & Other, an increase of $46 million from an adjusted operating loss available to common shareholders of $13 million in the third quarter 2019. The increase in adjusted operating loss available to common shareholders from the prior year quarter was primarily driven by depreciation in Athene's investment in the Apollo Operating Group ("AOG") as well as greater preferred stock dividends and higher interest expense, partially offset by higher net investment income from alternatives.
The change in fair value of Athene's AOG investment, net of tax, resulted in an $81 million loss, or $0.73 per common share in the quarter, primarily reflecting an 8% decrease in the common stock price of Apollo Global Management (NYSE: APO).
Share Repurchase Activity
In the third quarter 2020, Athene repurchased 2.7 million shares of its common stock for $97 million under
previously announced share repurchase programs. During this period, shares were purchased at an average cost of
$35.64 per share and an average price-to-adjusted book value multiple of 0.70x. As of September 30, 2020, remaining share repurchase authorization totaled $224 million.

Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to our results presented in accordance with GAAP, we present certain financial information that includes non-GAAP measures. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures, together with the relevant GAAP measures, provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of our business. The majority of these non-GAAP measures are intended to remove from the results of operations the impact of market volatility (other than with respect to alternative investments) as well as integration, restructuring and certain other expenses which are not part of our underlying profitability drivers, as such items fluctuate from period to period in a manner inconsistent with these drivers. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the corresponding GAAP measures.

Adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance excluding market volatility and expenses related to integration, restructuring, stock compensation and other expenses. Our adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders equals net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following (collectively, the non-operating adjustments):

Investment Gains (Losses), Net of Offsets
Change in Fair Values of Derivatives and Embedded Derivatives – FIAs, Net of Offsets
Integration, Restructuring and Other Non-Operating Expenses

6


Stock Compensation Expense
Bargain Purchase Gain
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit – Non-Operating

We consider these non-operating adjustments to be meaningful adjustments to net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders for the reasons discussed in greater detail above. Accordingly, we believe using a measure which excludes the impact of these items is useful in analyzing our business performance and the trends in our results of operations. Together with net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders, we believe adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders provides a meaningful financial metric that helps investors understand our underlying results and profitability. Adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders should not be used as a substitute for net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders.

Adjusted operating ROA is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance and profitability. Adjusted operating ROA is computed using our adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by average net invested assets for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. While we believe each of these metrics are meaningful financial metrics and enhance our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, they should not be used as a substitute for ROA presented under GAAP.

Adjusted operating ROE is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance excluding the impacts of AOCI and the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets, net of DAC, DSI, rider reserve and tax offsets. Adjusted AHL common shareholders’ equity is calculated as the ending AHL shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI, the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets and preferred stock. Adjusted operating ROE is calculated as the adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders, divided by average adjusted AHL common shareholders’ equity. These adjustments fluctuate period to period in a manner inconsistent with our underlying profitability drivers as the majority of such fluctuation is related to the market volatility of the unrealized gains and losses associated with our AFS securities. Except with respect to reinvestment activity relating to acquired blocks of businesses, we typically buy and hold AFS investments to maturity throughout the duration of market fluctuations, therefore, the period-over-period impacts in unrealized gains and losses are not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance. Accordingly, we believe using measures which exclude AOCI and the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets are useful in analyzing trends in our operating results. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. Adjusted operating ROE should not be used as a substitute for ROE. However, we believe the adjustments to net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders equity are significant to gaining an understanding of our overall financial performance.

Adjusted operating earnings (loss) per common share, weighted average common shares outstanding – adjusted operating and adjusted book value per common share are non-GAAP measures used to evaluate our financial performance and financial condition. The non-GAAP measures adjust the number of shares included in the corresponding GAAP measures to reflect the conversion or settlement of all shares and other stock-based awards outstanding. We believe using these measures represent an economic view of our share counts and provide a simplified and consistent view of our outstanding shares. Adjusted operating earnings (loss) per common share is calculated as the adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders, over the weighted average common shares outstanding – adjusted operating. Adjusted book value per common share is calculated as the adjusted AHL common shareholders’ equity divided by the adjusted operating common shares outstanding. Effective February 28, 2020, all Class B common shares were converted into Class A common shares and all Class M common shares were converted into warrants and Class A common shares. Our Class B common shares were economically equivalent to Class A common shares and could have been converted to Class A common shares on a one-for-one basis at any time. Our Class M common shares were in the legal form of shares but economically functioned as options as they were convertible into Class A common shares after vesting and settlement of the conversion price. In calculating Class A diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis, we are required to apply sequencing rules to determine the dilutive impacts, if any, of our Class B common shares, Class M common shares and any other stock-based awards. To the extent our Class B common shares, Class M common shares and/or any other stock-based awards were not dilutive, after considering the dilutive effects of the more dilutive securities in the sequence, they were excluded. Weighted average common shares outstanding – adjusted operating and adjusted operating common shares outstanding assume conversion or settlement of all outstanding items that are able to be converted to or settled in Class A common shares, including the impacts of Class B common shares on a one-for-one basis, the impacts of all Class M common shares net of the conversion price and any other stock-based awards, but excluding any awards for which the exercise or conversion price exceeds the market value of our Class A common shares on

the applicable measurement date. For certain historical periods, Class M shares were not included due to issuance restrictions which were contingent upon our IPO. Adjusted operating earnings (loss) per common share, weighted average common shares outstanding – adjusted operating and adjusted book value per common share should not be used as a substitute for basic earnings (loss) per share – Class A common shares, basic weighted average common shares outstanding – Class A or book value per common share. However, we believe the adjustments to the shares and equity are significant to gaining an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial condition.

Adjusted debt to capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our capital structure excluding the impacts of AOCI and the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets, net of DAC, DSI, rider reserve and tax offsets. Adjusted debt to capital ratio is calculated as total debt divided by adjusted AHL shareholders’ equity. Adjusted debt to capital ratio should not be used as a substitute for the debt to capital ratio. However, we believe the adjustments to total debt and shareholders’ equity are significant to gaining an understanding of our capitalization, debt utilization and debt capacity.

Net investment spread is a key measurement of the profitability of our Retirement Services segment. Net investment spread measures our investment performance less the total cost of our liabilities. Net investment earned rate is a key measure of our investment performance, while cost of funds is a key measure of the cost of our policyholder benefits and liabilities. Investment margin on our deferred annuities measures our investment performance less the cost of crediting for our deferred annuities, which make up a significant portion of our net reserve liabilities.

Net investment earned rate is a non-GAAP measure we use to evaluate the performance of our net invested assets that does not correspond to GAAP net investment income. Net investment earned rate is computed as the income from our net invested assets divided by the average net invested assets, excluding the impacts of our investment in Apollo, for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. The adjustments to arrive at our net investment earned rate add (a) alternative investment gains and losses, (b) gains and losses related to trading securities for CLOs, (c) net VIE impacts (revenues, expenses and noncontrolling interest), (d) forward points gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative hedges and (e) the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, and removes the proportionate share of the ACRA net investment income associated with the ACRA noncontrolling interest as well as the gain or loss on our investment in Apollo. We include the income and assets supporting our change in fair value of reinsurance assets by evaluating the underlying investments of the funds withheld at interest receivables and we include the net investment income from those underlying investments which does not correspond to the GAAP presentation of change in fair value of reinsurance assets. We exclude the income and assets supporting business that we have exited through ceded reinsurance including funds withheld agreements. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a net investment earned rate on the assets for which we have economic exposure.
Cost of funds includes liability costs related to cost of crediting on both deferred annuities and institutional products as well as other liability costs, but does not include the proportionate share of the ACRA cost of funds associated with the noncontrolling interest. Cost of funds is computed as the total liability costs divided by the average net invested assets, excluding our investment in Apollo, for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized.
Cost of crediting includes the costs for both deferred annuities and institutional products. Cost of crediting on deferred annuities is the interest credited to the policyholders on our fixed strategies as well as the option costs on the indexed annuity strategies. With respect to FIAs, the cost of providing index credits includes the expenses incurred to fund the annual index credits, and where applicable, minimum guaranteed interest credited. Cost of crediting on institutional products is comprised of PRT costs including interest credited, benefit payments and other reserve changes, net of premiums received when issued, as well as funding agreement costs including the interest payments and other reserve changes. Cost of crediting is computed as the cost of crediting for deferred annuities and institutional products divided by the average net invested assets, excluding the investment in Apollo, for the relevant periods. Cost of crediting on deferred annuities is computed as the net interest credited on fixed strategies and option costs on indexed annuity strategies divided by the average net account value of our deferred annuities. Cost of crediting on institutional products is computed as the PRT and funding agreement costs divided by the average net institutional reserve liabilities. Our average net invested assets, excluding our investment in Apollo, net account values and net institutional reserve liabilities are averaged over the number of quarters in the relevant period to obtain our associated cost of crediting for such period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized.

Other liability costs include DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization, change in rider reserves, the cost of liabilities on products other than deferred annuities and institutional products, excise taxes, premiums, product charges and other revenues. We believe a measure like other liability costs is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations and profitability. While we believe other liability costs is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for total benefits and expenses presented under GAAP.

Net investment earned rate, cost of funds, net investment spread and investment margin on deferred annuities are non-GAAP measures we use to evaluate the profitability of our business. We believe these metrics are useful in analyzing the trends of our business operations, profitability and pricing discipline. While we believe each of these metrics are meaningful financial metrics and enhance our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, they should not be used as a substitute for net investment income, interest sensitive contract benefits or total benefits and expenses presented under GAAP.

Operating expenses excludes integration, restructuring and other non-operating expenses, stock compensation expense, interest expense and policy acquisition expenses. We believe a measure like operating expenses is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations and profitability. While we believe operating expenses is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for policy and other operating expenses presented under GAAP.

In managing our business, we analyze net invested assets, which does not correspond to total investments, including investments in related parties, as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Net invested assets represents the investments that directly back our net reserve liabilities as well as surplus assets. Net invested assets, excluding our investment in Apollo, is used in the computation of net investment earned rate, which allows us to analyze the profitability of our investment portfolio. Net invested assets includes (a) total investments on the consolidated balance sheets with AFS securities at cost or amortized cost, excluding derivatives, (b) cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, (c) investments in related parties, (d) accrued investment income, (e) VIE assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest adjustments, (f) net investment payables and receivables, (g) policy loans ceded (which offset the direct policy loans in total investments) and (h) an allowance for credit losses. Net invested assets also excludes assets associated with funds withheld liabilities related to business exited through reinsurance agreements and derivative collateral (offsetting the related cash positions). We include the underlying investments supporting our assumed funds withheld and modco agreements in our net invested assets calculation in order to match the assets with the income received. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a view of the assets for which we have economic exposure. Net invested assets includes our proportionate share of ACRA investments, based on our economic ownership, but does not include the proportionate share of investments associated with the noncontrolling interest. Net invested assets also includes our investment in Apollo. Our net invested assets, excluding our investment in Apollo, are averaged over the number of quarters in the relevant period to compute our net investment earned rate for such period. While we believe net invested assets is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying drivers of our investment portfolio, it should not be used as a substitute for total investments, including related parties, presented under GAAP.

Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP but are used as relevant measures to understand our business performance as it relates to deposits generated during a specific period of time. Our sales statistics include deposits for fixed rate annuities and FIAs and align with the LIMRA definition of all money paid into an individual annuity, including money paid into new contracts with initial purchase occurring in the specified period and existing contracts with initial purchase occurring prior to the specified period (excluding internal transfers). While we believe sales is a meaningful metric and enhances our understanding of our business performance, it should not be used as a substitute for premiums presented under GAAP.

Note: The investment funds balances include the entire investment fund balance attributable to ACRA as ACRA is 100% consolidated. 1 Investment funds, including related parties, is the GAAP measure which does not include investments that we view as alternative investments. Alternative investments include CLO equity tranche securities that are included in trading securities in the GAAP view, a nonredeemable preferred stock viewed as an alternative investment for management view but included in equity securities for GAAP view, investment funds included in our funds withheld at interest reinsurance portfolios, royalties and other investments. Please refer to Notes to the Financial Supplement section for discussion on net invested assets including net alternative investments and the Non-GAAP Measure Reconciliations section for the reconciliation of investment funds, including related parties, to net alternative investments. 2 The dissolution of CoInvest VII resulted in MidCap being held directly as a trading security in 3Q’20 rather than as an investment fund.

In managing our business we utilize invested assets, where we adjust the presentation for funds withheld and modco transactions to include or exclude the underlying investments based upon the contractual transfer of economic exposure to such underlying investments.

It does not include an adjustment for the shares issued in exchange for $350 million. For Q1’20, the calculation also includes the dilution of other stock compensation plans as a result of the exclusion of the loss on the Apollo investment creating adjusted operating income available to common shareholders instead of a loss.

1 Securities denoted as non-rated by the NRSRO were classified as investment or non-investment grade according to the security’s respective NAIC designation. With respect to modeled LBaSS, the NAIC designation methodology differs in significant respects from the NRSRO ratings methodology. 2 We view the NAIC designation methodology as the most appropriate way to view our AFS portfolio when evaluating credit risk since a large portion of our holdings were purchased at a significant discount to par. With respect to loan-backed and structured securities, the NAIC designation methodology differs in significant respects from the NRSRO rating methodology. NRSRO ratings methodology is focused on the likelihood of recovery of all contractual payments, including principal at par regardless of entry price, while the NAIC designation methodology considers our investment at amortized cost, and the likelihood of recovery of that book value as opposed to the likelihood of the recovery of all contractual payments. 3 Please refer to Notes to the Financial Supplement section for discussion on net invested assets and Non-GAAP Measure Reconciliations section for the reconciliation of total investments including related parties to net invested assets.

Note: Please refer to Notes to the Financial Supplement section and the Non-GAAP Measure Reconciliations for discussion on net reserve liabilities. Net reserve liabilities include our economic ownership of ACRA investments but do not include the reserve liabilities associated with the noncontrolling interest. 1 Funding agreements are comprised of funding agreements issued under our FABN and FABR programs, funding agreements issued to the FHLB and long-term repurchase agreements. 2 Gross deposits equal deposits from our retail, flow reinsurance and institutional channels as well as premiums and deposits for life and products other than deferred annuities or our institutional products, renewal deposits on older blocks of business, annuitizations and foreign currency translation adjustments between the transaction date of large transactions and the translation period. Gross deposits include all deposits sourced by Athene, including all of the deposits reinsured to ACRA. 3 Acquisitions and block reinsurance transactions includes the reserve liabilities acquired in our inorganic channel at inception. Effective June 1, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Jackson National Life pursuant to which we agreed to reinsure a block of fixed and fixed indexed annuities on a funds withheld coinsurance basis providing $28.8 billion of gross deposits. 4 ACRA noncontrolling interest reserve liabilities at inception on October 1, 2019 were $6.1 billion. Effective April 1, 2020, ALRe purchased 14,000 newly issued shares in ACRA increasing our ownership from 33% to 36.55% of the economic interests. 5 The ACRA reserve liability rollforward is a rollforward of the GAAP reserve liabilities associated with the noncontrolling interest.

Notes to the Financial Supplement

image432.jpg
KEY OPERATING AND NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to our results presented in accordance with GAAP, we present certain financial information that includes non-GAAP measures. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures, together with the relevant GAAP measures, provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of our business. The majority of these non-GAAP measures are intended to remove from the results of operations the impact of market volatility (other than with respect to alternative investments) as well as integration, restructuring and certain other expenses which are not part of our underlying profitability drivers, as such items fluctuate from period to period in a manner inconsistent with these drivers. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the corresponding GAAP measures.

ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME (LOSS) AVAILABLE TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS AND ADJUSTED OPERATING RETURN ON ASSETS (ROA)
Adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance excluding market volatility and expenses related to integration, restructuring, stock compensation and other expenses. Our adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders equals net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following (collectively, the non-operating adjustments):
Investment Gains (Losses), Net of Offsets—Consists of the realized gains and losses on the sale of AFS securities, the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, unrealized gains and losses, allowances, and other investment gains and losses. Unrealized, allowances and other investment gains and losses are comprised of the fair value adjustments of trading securities (other than CLOs) and investments held under the fair value option, derivative gains and losses not hedging FIA index credits, and the change in credit loss allowances recognized in operations net of the change in AmerUs Closed Block fair value reserve related to the corresponding change in fair value of investments and the change in unit-linked reserves related to the corresponding trading securities. Investment gains and losses are net of offsets related to DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization and changes to guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB) and guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) reserves (together, GLWB and GMDB reserves represent rider reserves) as well as the MVAs associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts.
Change in Fair Values of Derivatives and Embedded Derivatives – FIAs, Net of Offsets—Consists of impacts related to the fair value accounting for derivatives hedging the FIA index credits and the related embedded derivative liability fluctuations from period to period. The index reserve is measured at fair value for the current period and all periods beyond the current policyholder index term. However, the FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to hedge only the current index period. Upon policyholder renewal at the end of the period, new FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to align with the new term. The difference in duration between the FIA hedging derivatives and the index credit reserves creates a timing difference in earnings. This timing difference of the FIA hedging derivatives and index credit reserves is included as a non-operating adjustment, net of offsets related to DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization and changes to rider reserves. We primarily hedge with options that align with the index terms of our FIA products (typically 1–2 years). From an economic basis, we believe this is suitable because policyholder accounts are credited with index performance at the end of each index term. However, because the term of an embedded derivative in an FIA contract is longer-dated, there is a duration mismatch which may lead to mismatches for accounting purposes.
Integration, Restructuring, and Other Non-operating Expenses—Consists of restructuring and integration expenses related to acquisitions and block reinsurance costs as well as certain other expenses, which are not predictable or related to our underlying profitability drivers.
Stock Compensation Expense—Consists of stock compensation expenses associated with our share incentive plans, excluding our long-term incentive plan, which are not related to our underlying profitability drivers and fluctuate from time to time due to the structure of our plans.
Bargain Purchase Gain—Consists of adjustments to net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders as they are not related to our underlying profitability drivers.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit – Non-operating—Consists of the income tax effect of non-operating adjustments and is computed by applying the appropriate jurisdiction’s tax rate to the non-operating adjustments that are subject to income tax.
We consider these non-operating adjustments to be meaningful adjustments to net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders for the reasons discussed in greater detail above. Accordingly, we believe using a measure which excludes the impact of these items is useful in analyzing our business performance and the trends in our results of operations. Together with net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders, we believe adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders provides a meaningful financial metric that helps investors understand our underlying results and profitability. Adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders should not be used as a substitute for net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders.

Adjusted operating ROA is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance and profitability. Adjusted operating ROA is computed using our adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by average net invested assets for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. While we believe each of these metrics are meaningful financial metrics and enhance our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, they should not be used as a substitute for ROA presented under GAAP.

ADJUSTED OPERATING ROE
Adjusted operating ROE is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance excluding the impacts of AOCI and the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets, net of DAC, DSI, rider reserve and tax offsets. Adjusted AHL common shareholders’ equity is calculated as the ending AHL shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI, the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets and preferred stock. Adjusted operating ROE is calculated as the adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders, divided by average adjusted AHL common shareholders’ equity. These adjustments fluctuate period to period in a manner inconsistent with our underlying profitability drivers as the majority of such fluctuation is related to the market volatility of the unrealized gains and losses associated with our AFS securities. Except with respect to reinvestment activity relating to acquired blocks of businesses, we typically buy and hold AFS investments to maturity throughout the duration of market fluctuations, therefore, the period-over-period impacts in unrealized gains and losses are not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance. Accordingly, we believe using measures which exclude AOCI and the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets are useful in analyzing trends in our operating results. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. Adjusted operating ROE should not be used as a substitute for ROE. However, we believe the adjustments to net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders equity are significant to gaining an understanding of our overall financial performance.

ADJUSTED OPERATING EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE, WEIGHTED AVERAGE COMMON SHARES OUTSTANDING – ADJUSTED OPERATING, AND ADJUSTED BOOK VALUE PER COMMON SHARE
Adjusted operating earnings (loss) per common share, weighted average common shares outstanding – adjusted operating and adjusted book value per common share are non-GAAP measures used to evaluate our financial performance and financial condition. The non-GAAP measures adjust the number of shares included in the corresponding GAAP measures to reflect the conversion or settlement of all shares and other stock-based awards outstanding. We believe using these measures represent an economic view of our share counts and provide a simplified and consistent view of our outstanding shares. Adjusted operating earnings (loss) per common share is calculated as the adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders, over the weighted average common shares outstanding – adjusted operating. Adjusted book value per common share is calculated as the adjusted AHL common shareholders’ equity divided by the adjusted operating common shares outstanding. Effective February 28, 2020, all Class B common shares were converted into Class A common shares and all Class M common shares were converted into warrants and Class A common shares. Our Class B common shares were economically equivalent to Class A common shares and could have been converted to Class A common shares on a one-for-one basis at any time. Our Class M common shares were in the legal form of shares but economically functioned as options as they were convertible into Class A common shares after vesting and settlement of the conversion price. In calculating Class A diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis, we are required to apply sequencing rules to determine the dilutive impacts, if any, of our Class B common shares, Class M common shares and any other stock-based awards. To the extent our Class B common shares, Class M common shares and/or any other stock-based awards were not dilutive, after considering the dilutive effects of the more dilutive securities in the sequence, they were excluded. Weighted average common shares outstanding – adjusted operating and adjusted operating common shares outstanding assume conversion or settlement of all outstanding items that are able to be converted to or settled in Class A common shares, including the impacts of Class B common shares on a one-for-one basis, the impacts of all Class M common shares net of the conversion price and any other stock-based awards, but excluding any awards for which the exercise or conversion price exceeds the market value of our Class A common shares on the applicable measurement date. For certain historical periods, Class M shares were not included due to issuance restrictions which were contingent upon our IPO. Adjusted operating earnings (loss) per common share, weighted average common shares outstanding – adjusted operating and adjusted book value per common share should not be used as a substitute for basic earnings (loss) per share – Class A common shares, basic weighted average common shares outstanding – Class A or book value per common share. However, we believe the adjustments to the shares and equity are significant to gaining an understanding of our overall results of operations and financial condition.

ADJUSTED DEBT TO CAPITAL RATIO
Adjusted debt to capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our capital structure excluding the impacts of AOCI and the cumulative change in fair value of funds withheld and modco reinsurance assets, net of DAC, DSI, rider reserve and tax offsets. Adjusted debt to capital ratio is calculated as total debt divided by adjusted AHL shareholders’ equity. Adjusted debt to capital ratio should not be used as a substitute for the debt to capital ratio. However, we believe the adjustments to total debt and shareholders’ equity are significant to gaining an understanding of our capitalization, debt utilization and debt capacity.

RETIREMENT SERVICES NET INVESTMENT SPREAD, INVESTMENT MARGIN ON DEFERRED ANNUITIES, AND OPERATING EXPENSES
Net investment spread is a key measurement of the profitability of our Retirement Services segment. Net investment spread measures our investment performance less the total cost of our liabilities. Net investment earned rate is a key measure of our investment performance, while cost of funds is a key measure of the cost of our policyholder benefits and liabilities. Investment margin on our deferred annuities measures our investment performance less the cost of crediting for our deferred annuities, which make up a significant portion of our net reserve liabilities.
Net investment earned rate is a non-GAAP measure we use to evaluate the performance of our net invested assets that does not correspond to GAAP net investment income. Net investment earned rate is computed as the income from our net invested assets divided by the average net invested assets, excluding the impacts of our investment in Apollo, for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. The adjustments to arrive at our net investment earned rate add (a) alternative investment gains and losses, (b) gains and losses related to trading securities for CLOs, (c) net VIE impacts (revenues, expenses and noncontrolling interest), (d) forward points gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative hedges and (e) the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, and removes the proportionate share of the ACRA net investment income associated with the ACRA noncontrolling interest as well as the gain or loss on our investment in Apollo. We include the income and assets supporting our change in fair value of reinsurance assets by evaluating the underlying investments of the funds withheld at interest receivables and we include the net investment income from those underlying investments which does not correspond to the GAAP presentation of change in fair value of reinsurance assets. We exclude the income and assets supporting business that we have exited through ceded reinsurance including funds withheld agreements. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a net investment earned rate on the assets for which we have economic exposure.
Cost of funds includes liability costs related to cost of crediting on both deferred annuities and institutional products as well as other liability costs, but does not include the proportionate share of the ACRA cost of funds associated with the noncontrolling interest. Cost of funds is computed as the total liability costs divided by the average net invested assets, excluding our investment in Apollo, for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized.
Cost of crediting includes the costs for both deferred annuities and institutional products. Cost of crediting on deferred annuities is the interest credited to the policyholders on our fixed strategies as well as the option costs on the indexed annuity strategies. With respect to FIAs, the cost of providing index credits includes the expenses incurred to fund the annual index credits, and where applicable, minimum guaranteed interest credited. Cost of crediting on institutional products is comprised of PRT costs including interest credited, benefit payments and other reserve changes, net of premiums received when issued, as well as funding agreement costs including the interest payments and other reserve changes. Cost of crediting is computed as the cost of crediting for deferred annuities and institutional products divided by the average net invested assets, excluding the investment in Apollo, for the relevant periods. Cost of crediting on deferred annuities is computed as the net interest credited on fixed strategies and option costs on indexed annuity strategies divided by the average net account value of our deferred annuities. Cost of crediting on institutional products is computed as the PRT and funding agreement costs divided by the average net institutional reserve liabilities. Our average net invested assets, excluding our investment in Apollo, net account values and net institutional reserve liabilities are averaged over the number of quarters in the relevant period to obtain our associated cost of crediting for such period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized.
Other liability costs include DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization, change in rider reserves, the cost of liabilities on products other than deferred annuities and institutional products, excise taxes, premiums, product charges and other revenues. We believe a measure like other liability costs is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations and profitability. While we believe other liability costs is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for total benefits and expenses presented under GAAP.
Net investment earned rate, cost of funds, net investment spread and investment margin on deferred annuities are non-GAAP measures we use to evaluate the profitability of our business. We believe these metrics are useful in analyzing the trends of our business operations, profitability and pricing discipline. While we believe each of these metrics are meaningful financial metrics and enhance our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, they should not be used as a substitute for net investment income, interest sensitive contract benefits or total benefits and expenses presented under GAAP.
Operating expenses excludes integration, restructuring and other non-operating expenses, stock compensation expense, interest expense and policy acquisition expenses. We believe a measure like operating expenses is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations and profitability. While we believe operating expenses is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for policy and other operating expenses presented under GAAP.

NET INVESTED ASSETS
In managing our business, we analyze net invested assets, which does not correspond to total investments, including investments in related parties, as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Net invested assets represents the investments that directly back our net reserve liabilities as well as surplus assets. Net invested assets, excluding our investment in Apollo, is used in the computation of net investment earned rate, which allows us to analyze the profitability of our investment portfolio. Net invested assets includes (a) total investments on the consolidated balance sheets with AFS securities at cost or amortized cost, excluding derivatives, (b) cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, (c) investments in related parties, (d) accrued investment income, (e) VIE assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest adjustments, (f) net investment payables and receivables, (g) policy loans ceded (which offset the direct policy loans in total investments) and (h) an allowance for credit losses. Net invested assets also excludes assets associated with funds withheld liabilities related to business exited through reinsurance agreements and derivative collateral (offsetting the related cash positions). We include the underlying investments supporting our assumed funds withheld and modco agreements in our net invested assets calculation in order to match the assets with the income received. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a view of the assets for which we have economic exposure. Net invested assets includes our proportionate share of ACRA investments, based on our economic ownership, but does not include the proportionate share of investments associated with the noncontrolling interest. Net invested assets also includes our investment in Apollo. Our net invested assets, excluding our investment in Apollo, are averaged over the number of quarters in the relevant period to compute our net investment earned rate for such period. While we believe net invested assets is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying drivers of our investment portfolio, it should not be used as a substitute for total investments, including related parties, presented under GAAP.

NET RESERVE LIABILITIES
In managing our business, we also analyze net reserve liabilities, which does not correspond to total liabilities as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Net reserve liabilities represent our policyholder liability obligations net of reinsurance and is used to analyze the costs of our liabilities. Net reserve liabilities include (a) the interest sensitive contract liabilities, (b) future policy benefits, (c) dividends payable to policyholders, and (d) other policy claims and benefits, offset by reinsurance recoverable, excluding policy loans ceded. Net reserve liabilities include our proportionate share of ACRA reserve liabilities, based on our economic ownership, but does not include the proportionate share of reserve liabilities associated with the noncontrolling interest. Net reserve liabilities is net of the ceded liabilities to third-party reinsurers as the costs of the liabilities are passed to such reinsurers and, therefore, we have no net economic exposure to such liabilities, assuming our reinsurance counterparties perform under our agreements. The majority of our ceded reinsurance is a result of reinsuring large blocks of life business following acquisitions. For such transactions, GAAP requires the ceded liabilities and related reinsurance recoverables to continue to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements despite the transfer of economic risk to the counterparty in connection with the reinsurance transaction. While we believe net reserve liabilities is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for total liabilities presented under GAAP.

SALES
Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP but are used as relevant measures to understand our business performance as it relates to deposits generated during a specific period of time. Our sales statistics include deposits for fixed rate annuities and FIAs and align with the LIMRA definition of all money paid into an individual annuity, including money paid into new contracts with initial purchase occurring in the specified period and existing contracts with initial purchase occurring prior to the specified period (excluding internal transfers). While we believe sales is a meaningful metric and enhances our understanding of our business performance, it should not be used as a substitute for premiums presented under GAAP.
