Unum Group Reports First Quarter 2021 Results

•Net income of $153.0 million ($0.75 per diluted common share) for the first quarter of 2021; after-tax adjusted operating income was $212.0 million ($1.04 per diluted common share).

•Results reflect continued elevated mortality, which improved through the quarter, as well as encouraging trends in premium growth, persistency, and macro-economic conditions.

•Strong balance sheet and liquidity with holding company cash of $1.7 billion and weighted average risk-based capital ratio of approximately 370 percent; successful completion of the second phase of the Closed Block individual disability reinsurance transaction.

•Book value per common share of $51.77 grew 7.4 percent over the year-ago quarter.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (May 5, 2021) - Unum Group (NYSE: UNM) today reported net income of $153.0 million ($0.75 per diluted common share) for the first quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $161.0 million ($0.79 per diluted common share) for the first quarter of 2020.

Included in net income for the first quarter of 2021 are the net after-tax loss from the second phase of the Closed Block individual disability reinsurance transaction of $56.7 million ($0.27 per diluted common share), the after-tax amortization of the cost of reinsurance of $15.8 million ($0.08 per diluted common share), and a net after-tax realized investment gain on the Company’s investment portfolio, excluding the net realized investment gain associated with the completion of the second phase of the Closed Block individual disability reinsurance transaction, of $13.5 million ($0.06 per diluted common share). Included in net income for the first quarter of 2020 is a net after-tax realized investment loss on the Company's investment portfolio of $113.1 million ($0.56 per diluted common share). Excluding the items above, after-tax adjusted operating income was $212.0 million ($1.04 per diluted common share) in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $274.1 million ($1.35 per diluted common share) in the first quarter of 2020.

“Our first quarter results reflect the dynamics of the world around us with good growth results, pressured by high, yet improving, levels of mortality,” said Richard P. McKenney, president and chief executive officer. “With vaccines rolling out and a better economy, the current trends show continued improvement. Looking forward, our market leadership and financial underpinnings position us well to drive growth as the recovery builds in the second half of the year.”

RESULTS BY SEGMENT

We measure and analyze our segment performance on the basis of "adjusted operating income" or "adjusted operating loss", which differ from income before income tax as presented in our consolidated statements of income due to the exclusion of net realized investment gains and losses, amortization of cost of reinsurance, and certain other items. These performance measures are in accordance with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, but they should not be viewed as a substitute for income before income tax or net income.

Unum US Segment

Unum US reported adjusted operating income of $115.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 55.8 percent from $261.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. Premium income for the segment was $1,525.8 million in the first quarter of 2021, which was generally consistent with the $1,527.7 million in the first quarter of 2020. Net investment income for the segment was $179.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, which was consistent with the $179.6 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Within the Unum US operating segment, the group disability line of business reported a 16.0 percent decrease in adjusted operating income to $64.1 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $76.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. Premium income for the group disability line of business increased 1.0 percent to $672.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $666.2 million in the first quarter of 2020 due to higher sales in our short-term disability product line. Net investment income increased 4.3 percent to $97.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $93.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, driven by higher miscellaneous investment income, partially offset by a decline in the yield on invested assets and a lower level of invested assets. The benefit ratio for the first quarter of 2021 was 74.8 percent, compared to 73.2 percent in the first quarter of 2020, due to higher claims incidence in the short-term disability product line, resulting from the impacts of COVID-19, partially offset by favorable claim recoveries in our group long-term disability product line. Group long-term disability sales were $31.1 million in the first quarter of 2021, which was generally consistent with the $31.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. Group short-term disability sales were $24.1 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 69.7 percent from $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2020. Persistency in the group long-term disability product line was 90.7 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 90.6 percent for the first quarter of 2020. Persistency in the group short-term disability product line was 86.1 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 86.1 percent for the first quarter of 2020.

The group life and accidental death and dismemberment line of business reported an adjusted operating loss of $58.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to adjusted operating income of $70.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. Premium income for this line of business decreased 1.1 percent to $451.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $456.2 million in the first quarter of 2020, driven primarily by lower prior period sales, partially offset by higher persistency. Net investment income decreased 3.1 percent to $24.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, due to decline in the yield on invested assets. The benefit ratio in the first quarter of 2021 was 98.8 percent, compared to 70.6 percent in the first quarter of 2020, due primarily to higher claims incidence in the group life product line resulting from the impacts of COVID-19. Sales of group life and accidental death and dismemberment products increased 7.5 percent in the first quarter of 2021 to $30.2 million, compared to $28.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. Persistency in the group life product line was 90.1 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 88.4 percent for the first quarter of 2020. Persistency in the accidental death and dismemberment product line was 89.7 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 87.9 percent for the first quarter of 2020.

The supplemental and voluntary line of business reported a decrease of 4.5 percent in adjusted operating income to $109.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $115.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. Premium income for the supplemental and voluntary line of business decreased to $401.5 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $405.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, with a decline in the voluntary benefits product line, mostly offset by growth in the individual disability and dental and vision product lines. Net investment income decreased 5.1 percent to $57.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $60.5 million in the first quarter of 2020, due to a decline in the yield on invested assets, partially offset by an increase in the level of invested assets. The benefit ratio for the individual disability product line was 42.4 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 52.1 percent for the first

quarter of 2020, due to lower claims incidence and higher mortality. The benefit ratio for the voluntary benefits product line was 39.3 percent in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 32.7 percent for the first quarter of 2020, due to higher claims incidence in the life product line, resulting from the impacts of COVID-19. The benefit ratio for the dental and vision product line was 73.2 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 65.1 percent for the first quarter of 2020, due primarily to higher claims incidence. Relative to the first quarter of 2020, sales in the individual disability product line declined 25.1 percent in the first quarter of 2021 to $17.0 million. Sales in the voluntary benefits product line declined 21.5 percent in the first quarter of 2021 to $101.0 million. Sales in the dental and vision product line totaled $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 25.9 percent compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Persistency in the voluntary benefits product line was 74.3 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 72.4 percent for the first quarter of 2020. Persistency in the dental and vision product line was 87.4 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 81.9 percent for the first quarter of 2020.

Unum International

The Unum International segment reported adjusted operating income of $26.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 36.1 percent from $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. Premium income increased 6.0 percent to $174.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $164.6 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Sales decreased 2.9 percent to $23.2 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $23.9 million in the first quarter of 2020.

The Unum UK line of business reported adjusted operating income, in local currency, of £18.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 35.8 percent from £13.7 million in the first quarter of 2020. Premium income was £110.5 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 2.9 percent from £113.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, driven by an increase in ceded premiums in the group life product line, partially offset by both higher sales and persistency in the group life product line and rate increases in the group long-term disability product line. Net investment income was £17.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 9.8 percent from £19.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, due to lower miscellaneous investment income and a lower yield on fixed-rate bonds, partially offset by higher investment income from inflation index-linked bonds. The benefit ratio in the first quarter of 2021 was 75.3 percent, compared to 80.5 percent in the first quarter of 2020, due primarily to favorable mortality experience and lower claims incidence in both the group long-term disability and group critical illness product lines, partially offset by higher claims incidence in the group life product line, resulting from the impacts of COVID-19. Sales decreased 13.3 percent to £14.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to £16.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. Persistency in the group long-term disability product line was 87.0 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 90.1 percent for the first quarter of 2020, resulting from pricing discipline.

Persistency in the supplemental product line was 88.2 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 91.2 percent for the first quarter of 2020.

Colonial Life Segment

Colonial Life reported a 9.6 percent decrease in adjusted operating income to $73.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $81.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. Premium income decreased 1.9 percent to $426.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $434.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, due to a decline in sales, partially offset by higher persistency. Net investment income was $37.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, which was consistent with the first quarter of 2020. The benefit ratio was 55.4 percent in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 52.4 percent in the first quarter of 2020, with unfavorable experience in the life product line, resulting from the impacts of COVID-19, partially offset by favorable experience in the accident, sickness, and disability line of business.

Sales decreased 9.2 percent to $90.2 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $99.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. Persistency in Colonial Life was 78.4 percent for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 76.8 percent for the first quarter of 2020.

Closed Block Segment

The Closed Block segment reported adjusted operating income of $97.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, which excludes the impacts from the second phase of the Closed Block individual disability reinsurance transaction of $139.3 million and the amortization of cost of reinsurance related to the Closed Block individual disability reinsurance transaction of $20.0 million, compared to $29.7 million in the first quarter of 2020. Premium income for this segment increased 3.0 percent to $251.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $244.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, due to premium rate increases on certain in-force business in the long-term care line of business, partially offset by continued policy terminations and maturities in the individual disability line of business. Net investment income decreased 11.6 percent to $297.2 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $336.1 million in the first quarter of 2020, due to a decrease in the level of invested assets supporting individual disability resulting from the reinsurance transaction, partially offset by higher miscellaneous investment income, primarily related to increases in the net asset values on our private equity partnerships, and an increase in the level of invested assets supporting long-term care. In connection with the completion of the second phase of the Closed Block individual disability reinsurance transaction, we recognized a net realized investment gain of $67.6 million.

The interest adjusted loss ratio for the long-term care line of business was 77.7 percent in the first quarter of 2021, compared to an interest adjusted loss ratio of 81.0 percent in the first quarter of 2020, driven primarily by higher claimant mortality, partially offset by higher submitted claims. The interest adjusted loss ratio for long-term care for the rolling twelve months ended March 31, 2021, excluding the update of assumptions during the fourth quarter of 2020, was 68.1 percent which is significantly below our long-term expected range. The interest adjusted loss ratio for the individual disability line of business, excluding the impacts from the reinsurance transaction, was 68.9 percent in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 84.5 percent in the first quarter of 2020, driven primarily by lower submitted claims.

Corporate Segment

The Corporate segment reported an adjusted operating loss of $38.9 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to an adjusted operating loss of $45.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, resulting primarily from an increase in the level of invested assets and lower operating expenses.

OTHER INFORMATION

Shares Outstanding

The Company’s weighted average number of shares outstanding, assuming dilution, was 204.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 203.4 million for the first quarter of 2020. Shares outstanding totaled 204.2 million at March 31, 2021. The Company did not repurchase shares during the first quarter of 2021.

Capital Management

At March 31, 2021, the weighted average risk-based capital ratio for the Company’s traditional U.S. insurance companies was approximately 370 percent, and cash and marketable securities in the holding companies equaled $1,664 million.

Book Value

Book value per common share as of March 31, 2021 was $51.77, compared to $48.21 at March 31, 2020.

Outlook

As previously announced, the Company expects a modest decline in after-tax adjusted operating income per share for full-year 2021 compared to full-year 2020. The Company also anticipates a strong recovery in after-tax adjusted operating income per share in the second half of 2021 as the expected impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic subside.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We analyze our performance using non-GAAP financial measures.  A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  The non-GAAP financial measure of "after-tax adjusted operating income" differs from net income as presented in our consolidated operating results and income statements prepared in accordance with GAAP due to the exclusion of net realized investment gains and losses and amortization of cost of reinsurance as well as certain other items as specified in the reconciliations in the Financial Highlights section below.  We believe after-tax adjusted operating income is a better performance measure and better indicator of the profitability and underlying trends in our business.

Realized investment gains or losses depend on market conditions and do not necessarily relate to decisions regarding the underlying business of our segments.  Our investment focus is on investment income to support our insurance liabilities as opposed to the generation of realized investment gains or losses.  Although we may experience realized investment gains or losses which will affect future earnings levels, a long-term focus is necessary to maintain profitability over the life of the business since our underlying business is long-term in nature, and we need to earn the interest rates assumed in calculating our liabilities.

As previously discussed, we have exited a substantial portion of our Closed Block individual disability product line through the two phases of the reinsurance transaction that were executed in December 2020 and March 2021, respectively. As a result, we exclude the amortization of the cost of reinsurance that was recognized upon the exit of the business related to the ceded reserves for the cohort of policies on claim status. We believe that the exclusion of the amortization of the cost of reinsurance provides a better view of our results from our ongoing businesses.

We may at other times exclude certain other items from our discussion of financial ratios and metrics in order to enhance the understanding and comparability of our operational performance and the underlying fundamentals, but this exclusion is not an indication that similar items may not recur and does not replace net income or net loss as a measure of our overall profitability.

Unum Group Financial Results by Segment

We measure and analyze our segment performance on the basis of "adjusted operating revenue" and "adjusted operating income" or "adjusted operating loss", which differ from total revenue and income before income tax as presented in our consolidated statements of income due to the exclusion of net realized investment gains and losses and the amortization of the cost of reinsurance as well as certain other items as specified in the following pages. These performance measures are in accordance with GAAP guidance for segment reporting, but they should not be viewed as a substitute for total revenue, income before income tax, or net income.

The adjustment related to unrealized investment gains and losses reflects the changes that would be necessary to policyholder liabilities if the unrealized investment gains and losses related to the corresponding available-for-sale securities had been realized. Changes in this adjustment are primarily due to movements in credit spreads and U.S. Treasury rates. The decline in total net reserves within the Closed Block Individual Disability product line compared to December 31, 2020 was driven by the second phase of the reinsurance transaction that closed on March 31, 2021 whereby we ceded $990.0 million of disabled life reserves that were on claim status as of January 1, 2021.

Appendix to Statistical Supplement

2021 Significant Items

•In December 2020, we completed the first phase of a reinsurance transaction, pursuant to which Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company, The Paul Revere Life Insurance Company, and Unum Life Insurance Company of America, wholly-owned domestic insurance subsidiaries of Unum Group, and collectively referred to as "the ceding companies", each entered into separate reinsurance agreements with Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company (Commonwealth), to reinsure on a coinsurance basis effective as of July 1, 2020, approximately 75 percent of the Closed Block individual disability business, primarily direct business written by the ceding companies. On March 31, 2021, we completed the second phase of the reinsurance transaction, pursuant to which the ceding companies and Commonwealth amended and restated their respective reinsurance agreements to reinsure on a coinsurance and modified coinsurance basis effective as of January 1, 2021, a substantial portion of the remaining Closed Block individual disability business that was not ceded in December 2020, primarily business previously assumed by the ceding companies.

In December 2020, Provident Life and Casualty Insurance Company (PLC), also a wholly-owned domestic insurance subsidiary of Unum Group, entered into an agreement with Commonwealth whereby PLC will provide a 12-year volatility cover to Commonwealth for the active life cohort (ALR cohort). On March 31, 2021, PLC and Commonwealth amended and restated this agreement to incorporate the ALR cohort related to the additional business that was reinsured between the ceding companies and Commonwealth as part of the second phase of the transaction. As part of the amended and restated volatility cover, PLC received a payment from Commonwealth of approximately $18 million.

In connection with the second phase of the reinsurance transaction, Commonwealth paid a total ceding commission to the ceding companies of $18.2 million. The ceding companies transferred assets of $767.0 million, which consisted primarily of cash and fixed maturity securities. In addition, we recognized the following in the first quarter of 2021 related to the second phase:

•Net realized investment gains totaling $67.6 million, or $53.4 million after tax, related to the transfer of investments.

•Increase in benefits and change in reserves for future benefits of $133.1 million, or $105.1 million after tax, resulting from the realization of previously unrealized investment gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

•Transaction costs totaling $6.2 million, or $5.0 million after tax.

•Reinsurance recoverable of $990.0 million related to the policies on claim status (DLR cohort).

•Payable of $307.2 million related to the portfolio of invested assets associated with the business ceded on a modified coinsurance basis.

•Cost of reinsurance, or prepaid reinsurance premium, of $43.1 million related to the DLR cohort. The total cost of reinsurance recognized on a combined basis for the first and second phases was $854.8 million for which we amortized $20.0 million, or $15.8 million after tax, during the first three months of 2021.

•Deposit asset of $5.0 million related to the ALR cohort. The total deposit asset recognized on a combined basis for the first and second phases was $91.8 million.

2020 Significant Items

•In connection with the first phase of the previously-mentioned reinsurance transaction, the ceding companies paid a total cash ceding commission to Commonwealth of approximately $438 million and transferred additional assets consisting primarily of fixed maturity securities and cash totaling $6,669.8 million. PLC received a payment of $62 million from Commonwealth related to the 12-year volatility cover for the business reinsured during the first phase of the transaction. In addition, we recognized the following in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to the first phase:

◦Net realized investment gain of $1,302.3 million before tax, or $1,028.8 million after tax, related to the transfer of investments.

◦Increase in benefits and change in reserves for future benefits of $1,284.5 million, or $1,014.7 million after tax, resulting from the realization of previously unrealized investment gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Appendix to Statistical Supplement - Continued

◦Transaction costs totaling $21.0 million, or $16.6 million after tax.

◦Net tax benefit of $36.5 million.

◦Reinsurance recoverable of $6,141.5 million representing the ceded reserves related to the DLR cohort.

◦Cost of reinsurance, or prepaid reinsurance premium, of $815.7 million related to the DLR cohort, of which we recognized amortization expense of $2.6 million, or $2.0 million after tax.

◦Deposit asset of $88.2 million related to the ALR cohort.

•Fourth quarter of 2020 reserve increases of $151.5 million and $17.5 million before tax, or $119.7 million and $13.8 million after tax, related to long-term care and group pension, respectively.

•In December 2020, Northwind Holdings redeemed the remaining $35.0 million of principal on the Northwind notes, and was released of any contractual collateral requirements.

•Third quarter of 2020 costs related to organizational design update of $23.3 million before tax and $18.6 million after tax.

•Second quarter of 2020 impairment loss of $12.7 million, or $10.0 million after tax, on a right of use (ROU) asset related to an operating lease for office space that we do not plan to continue using to support our general operations.

•In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update that amended the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. This update added an impairment model known as the current expected credit loss model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, and will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. This new model applies to financial instruments such as mortgage loans, fixed maturity securities classified as held-to-maturity, and certain receivables. This update also prospectively modified the other-than-temporary impairment model used for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities such that credit losses are recognized as an allowance rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost of the security. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2020 which resulted in a decrease to retained earnings of $18.9 million, a decrease to mortgage loans of $8.3 million, a decrease in reinsurance recoverable of $1.8 million, a decrease in accounts and premiums receivable of $13.5 million, a decrease in deferred income tax liability of $5.0 million, and an increase to other liabilities of $0.3 million.

2019 Significant Items

•2019 cost related to the early retirement of debt of $27.3 million before tax and $21.6 million after tax.

•In February 2016, the FASB issued an update that changed the accounting and disclosure requirements for leases. These changes include the requirement for lessees to report most leases on their balance sheets, regardless of whether the lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. For lessees, the initial lease liability is equal to the present value of lease payments and a corresponding asset, adjusted for certain items, is also recorded. The expense recognition for lessees remained similar to previous accounting requirements for capital and operating leases. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2019 which resulted in a decrease to retained earnings of $3.4 million, an increase to other assets of $117.7 million, a decrease in deferred income tax of $0.4 million, an increase to other liabilities of $122.0 million, and a decrease to income tax payable of $1.3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We analyze our performance using non-GAAP financial measures which exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are better performance measures and better indicators of the revenue and profitability and underlying trends in our business:

•Consolidated adjusted operating revenue, which excludes realized investment gains or losses;

•After-tax adjusted operating income or loss, which excludes realized investment gains or losses and amortization of the cost of reinsurance as well as certain other items, as applicable;

•Adjusted operating return on equity, which is calculated using after-tax adjusted operating income or loss and excludes from equity the unrealized gain or loss on securities and net gain on hedges;

•Leverage ratio, which excludes the unrealized gain or loss on securities and net gain on hedges, and the non-recourse debt and associated capital of Northwind Holdings, LLC prior to pay off in December 2020; and

•Book value per common share, which is calculated excluding AOCI.

Realized investment gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses on securities and net gains on hedges depend on market conditions and do not necessarily relate to decisions regarding the underlying business of our Company. Leverage ratio and book value per common share excluding certain components of AOCI, certain of which tend to fluctuate depending on market conditions and general economic trends, are important measures.

As previously discussed, we have exited a substantial portion of our Closed Block individual disability product line through the two phases of the reinsurance transaction that were executed in December 2020 and March 2021, respectively. As a result, we exclude the amortization of the cost of reinsurance that was recognized upon the exit of the business related to the DLR cohort of policies. We believe that the exclusion of the amortization of the cost of reinsurance provides a better view of our results from our ongoing businesses.

We may at other times exclude certain other items from our discussion of financial ratios and metrics in order to enhance the understanding and comparability of our operational performance and the underlying fundamentals, but this exclusion is not an indication that similar items may not recur and does not replace net income or net loss as a measure of our overall profitability.

Information reconciling the Company’s outlook on after-tax adjusted operating income growth per share to the comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided. The only amounts excluded from after-tax adjusted operating income are those described in this Appendix to Statistical Supplement. The Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty realized investment gains and losses, which are affected by overall market conditions and also by factors such as an economic or political change in the country of the issuer, a regulatory change pertaining to the issuer’s industry, a significant improvement or deterioration in the cash flows of the issuer, unforeseen accounting irregularities or fraud committed by an issuer, movement in credit spreads, ratings upgrades or downgrades, a change in the issuer’s marketplace or business prospects, or any other event that significantly affects the issuers of the fixed maturity securities which the Company holds in its investment portfolio. For a reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures, refer to the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" beginning on page 16.3, other than book value per common share, which is presented on page 2.

1 Excludes unrealized gain (loss) on securities and net gain on hedges and is calculated using the stockholders' equity balances presented on page 16.6. Due to the implementation of a FASB update for which the beginning balance of 2020 for certain stockholders' equity line items were adjusted, we are computing the average allocated equity for 2020 using internally allocated equity that reflects the adjusted beginning balance at January 1, 2020. As a result, average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 for certain of our segments will not compute using the historical allocated equity at December 31, 2019.
