Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On May 4, 2020, Unum Group (the "Company") issued a news release reporting its results for the first quarter of 2020, a copy of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Also on May 4, 2020, the Company posted on its website at www.unum.com the Statistical Supplement relating to its financial results for the first quarter of 2020. In addition, the Company posted a Supplemental Exhibit concerning its investment portfolio as of March 31, 2020. Copies of the Statistical Supplement and the Supplemental Exhibit are furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information provided pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, and 99.3, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company's filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 4, 2020, the Company announced that in connection with a financial examination of its Maine domiciled Unum Life Insurance Company of America (“Unum America”) subsidiary, which is expected to close at the end of the second quarter, the Maine Bureau of Insurance (the “MBOI”) has concluded that Unum America’s long-term care statutory reserves are deficient by $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2018. As permitted by the MBOI, Unum America will phase in the additional statutory reserves over seven years beginning with year-end 2020 and ending with year-end 2026. The 2020 phase-in amount is estimated to be between $200 million and $250 million. This strengthening will be accomplished by the Company's actuaries incorporating explicitly agreed upon margins into its existing assumptions for annual statutory reserve adequacy testing. These actions will add margin to Unum America’s best estimate assumptions. The Company plans to fund the additional statutory reserves with expected cash flows. The Company’s long-term care reserves and financial results reported under generally accepted accounting principles are not affected by the MBOI’s examination conclusion.
The Company has suspended its current share repurchase authorization and will not repurchase shares in 2020. Additionally, the Company intends to continue to pay its common stock dividend at the current rate.

estimated to be between $200 million and $250 million. This strengthening will be accomplished by our actuaries incorporating explicitly agreed upon margins into our existing assumptions for annual statutory reserve adequacy testing. These actions will add margin to Unum America’s best estimate assumptions. The Company plans to fund the additional statutory reserves with expected cash flows. The Company’s long-term care reserves and financial results reported under generally accepted accounting principles are not affected by the MBOI’s examination conclusion.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization identified the spread of COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 has caused significant disruption to the global economy and has unfavorably impacted our company as well as the overall insurance industry. Due to the unprecedented nature of these events and the current pace of change in this environment, we cannot fully estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time. We are closely monitoring several key factors related to our business that have and may continue to have adverse impacts.
“While our first quarter results were solid, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic contraction have created uncertainty for both businesses and individuals worldwide. The current environment reinforces the importance of our corporate purpose, helping the working world thrive throughout life’s moments, and we will remain focused on providing excellent service to people in their time of need," said Richard P. McKenney, president and chief executive officer. "Our resilient franchise, with its strong capital and liquidity position, has weathered numerous economic and business cycles successfully in the past, and we have a well-developed road map for managing through these times. The resolution we reached with the Maine Bureau of Insurance regarding funding the long-term care business will build additional margin over our best estimates and should reduce market uncertainty over the block. With our dedicated people and excellent brands and strong reputation in the benefits marketplace, we will continue to invest in our operations and expand into new areas where we can best leverage our expertise and capabilities to capture growth opportunities as the economy begins to recover.”
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. 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 $261.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 3.8 percent from $252.3 million in the first quarter of 2019. Premium income for the segment increased 1.7 percent to $1,527.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to premium income of $1,501.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. Net investment income for the segment decreased 1.4 percent to $179.6 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $182.1 million in the first quarter of 2019.

the first quarter of 2019. Premium income for the group disability line of business increased 3.8 percent to $666.2 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $641.6 million in the first quarter of 2019, driven by growth in the in-force block resulting from higher prior period sales, partially offset by lower persistency. Net investment income decreased 6.6 percent to $93.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $100.0 million in the first quarter of 2019, driven by a decline in yield on invested assets, lower miscellaneous investment income, and a decrease in the level of invested assets. The benefit ratio for the first quarter of 2020 was 73.2 percent, compared to 74.7 percent in the first quarter of 2019, due primarily to favorable claim recovery experience in our group long-term disability product line, partially offset by higher claims incidence in both our group long-term and short-term disability product lines. Group long-term disability sales were $31.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 14.9 percent from $36.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. Group short-term disability sales were $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $20.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. Persistency in the group long-term disability product line was 90.6 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 90.9 percent in the first quarter of 2019.

The group life and accidental death and dismemberment line of business reported adjusted operating income of $70.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 4.5 percent from $67.4 million in the first quarter of 2019. Premium income for this line of business was $456.2 million in the first quarter of 2020, which was generally consistent with the $455.4 million in the first quarter of 2019, with growth in the in-force block resulting from prior period sales growth mostly offset by lower persistency. Net investment income was $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, which was generally consistent with the $25.6 million in the first quarter of 2019, due primarily to a higher level of invested assets and higher miscellaneous investment income, mostly offset by a decline in yield on invested assets. The benefit ratio in the first quarter of 2020 was 70.6 percent, compared to 70.9 percent in the first quarter of 2019, due primarily to lower claims incidence in the group accidental death and dismemberment product line. Sales of group life and accidental death and dismemberment products decreased 30.8 percent in the first quarter of 2020 to $28.1 million, compared to $40.6 million in the first quarter of 2019. Persistency in the group life product line was 88.4 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 91.0 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Persistency in the accidental death and dismemberment product line was 87.9 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 90.3 percent in the first quarter of 2019.
The supplemental and voluntary line of business reported an increase of 12.5 percent in adjusted operating income to $115.1 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $102.3 million in the first quarter of 2019. Premium income for the supplemental and voluntary line of business was $405.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, which was generally consistent with $404.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, with growth in the dental and vision product line mostly offset by lower persistency in all product lines. Net investment income increased 7.1 percent to $60.5 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $56.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, due to a higher level of invested assets and higher miscellaneous investment income, partially offset by a decline in yield on invested assets. The benefit ratio for the individual disability product line was

image3.jpg
52.1 percent for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 49.9 percent for the first quarter of 2019, due to higher claims incidence. The benefit ratio for the voluntary benefits product line was 32.7 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 35.4 percent for the first quarter of 2019, due primarily to the release of active life reserves resulting from a higher level of terminations. The benefit ratio for the dental and vision product line was 65.1 percent for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 67.7 percent for the first quarter of 2019, driven by lower claims incidence. Relative to the first quarter of 2019, sales in the individual disability product line increased 50.3 percent in the first quarter of 2020 to $22.7 million. Sales in the voluntary benefits product line declined 15.6 percent in the first quarter of 2020 to $128.6 million. Sales in the dental and vision product line totaled $10.8 million for the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 13.6 percent compared to the first quarter of 2019. Persistency in the individual disability product line was 88.9 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 90.3 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Persistency in the voluntary benefits product line was 72.4 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 73.0 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Persistency in the dental and vision product line was 81.9 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 84.3 percent in the first quarter of 2019.
Unum International
The Unum International segment reported adjusted operating income of $19.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 33.3 percent from $29.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. Premium income increased 6.9 percent to $164.6 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $154.0 million in the first quarter of 2019. Net investment income increased 6.9 percent to $26.5 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $24.8 million in the first quarter of 2019. Sales increased 5.8 percent to $23.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $22.6 million in the first quarter of 2019.
The Unum UK line of business reported adjusted operating income, in local currency, of £13.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 36.6 percent from £21.6 million in the first quarter of 2019. Premium income was £113.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 8.4 percent from £105.0 million in the first quarter of 2019, driven by sales growth, higher overall persistency, and the impact of rate increases in the group long-term disability product line. Net investment income was £19.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, an increase of 8.4 percent from £17.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, due to higher investment income from inflation index-linked bonds, which we invest in to support the claim reserves associated with certain of our group policies that provide for inflation-linked increases in benefits, and higher miscellaneous income, partially offset by a decline in the yield on fixed-rate bonds. The benefit ratio in the first quarter of 2020 was 80.5 percent, compared to 70.2 percent in the first quarter of 2019, due to higher claims incidence in the group critical illness product line and lower claim resolutions in the group long-term disability product line due to disruption in our claims processes related to COVID-19. Also contributing to the unfavorable experience was higher inflation-linked increases in benefits related to our group products. Sales increased 12.2 percent to £16.5 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to £14.7 million in the first quarter of 2019. Persistency in the group long-term disability product line was 90.1 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 89.3 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Persistency in the group life product line was 86.3 percent in the first quarter of 2020,

compared to 85.7 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Persistency in the supplemental product line was 91.2 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 91.5 percent in the first quarter of 2019.
Colonial Life Segment
Colonial Life reported a 4.8 percent decrease in adjusted operating income to $81.1 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $85.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. Premium income increased 3.7 percent to $434.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $419.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, driven primarily by growth in the in-force block resulting from prior period sales growth, offset partially by lower persistency. Net investment income increased 2.2 percent to $37.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $36.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, due to an increase in the level of invested assets and higher miscellaneous investment income, partially offset by a decline in the yield on invested assets. The benefit ratio was 52.4 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 51.1 percent in the first quarter of 2019, with unfavorable experience in the accident, sickness, and disability line of business partially offset by favorable experience in the cancer and critical illness and life product lines.
Sales decreased 8.7 percent to $99.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $108.8 million in the first quarter of 2019. Persistency in Colonial Life was 76.8 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 77.3 percent in the first quarter of 2019.
Closed Block Segment
The Closed Block segment reported adjusted operating income of $29.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $31.0 million in the first quarter of 2019. Premium income for this segment declined 7.2 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2019, due to a one-time reinsurance cost related to a small block of policies and continued policy terminations and maturities in the individual disability line of business, partially offset by premium rate increases on certain in-force business in the long-term care line of business. Net investment income decreased 3.0 percent to $336.1 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $346.6 million in the first quarter of 2019, due to a decrease in yield on invested assets driven primarily by losses on certain of our perpetual preferred securities, partially offset by an increase in the level of invested assets and higher miscellaneous investment income. The interest adjusted loss ratio for the long-term care line of business was 81.0 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to an interest adjusted loss ratio of 88.5 percent in the first quarter of 2019, driven primarily by higher claimant mortality. The interest adjusted loss ratio for long-term care for the rolling twelve months ended March 31, 2020 was 86.2 percent which remains within our expected range. The interest adjusted loss ratio for the individual disability line of business was 84.5 percent in the first quarter of 2020, compared to 80.1 percent in the first quarter of 2019, driven primarily by the impact of the one-time reinsurance cost as previously discussed.
Corporate Segment
The Corporate segment reported an adjusted operating loss of $45.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to an adjusted operating loss of $45.4 million in the first quarter of 2019.

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 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.
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. We
UNUM IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK AND MARKETING BRAND OF UNUM GROUP AND ITS INSURING SUBSIDIARIES.

exclude these items as we believe them to be infrequent or unusual in nature, 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.

Forward-looking statements are those not based on historical information, but rather relate to our outlook, future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments and speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements, including statements about the amount and source of anticipated funding for long-term care statutory reserves and expectations for future shareholder dividends, are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. The following factors, in addition to other factors mentioned from time to time, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements: (1) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, and overall business operations; (2) sustained periods of low interest rates; (3) fluctuation in insurance reserve liabilities and claim payments due to changes in claim incidence, recovery rates, mortality and morbidity rates, and policy benefit offsets; (4) unfavorable economic or business conditions, both domestic and foreign, that may result in decreases in sales, premiums, or persistency, as well as unfavorable claims activity; (5) changes in, or interpretations or enforcement of laws and regulations; (6) a cyber attack or other security breach could result in the unauthorized acquisition of confidential data; (7) the failure of our business recovery and incident management processes to resume our business operations in the event of a natural catastrophe, cyber attack, or other event; (8) investment results, including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, defaults, changes in credit spreads, impairments, and the lack of appropriate investments in the market which can be acquired to match our liabilities; (9) increased competition from other insurers and financial services companies due to industry consolidation, new entrants to our markets, or other factors; (10) changes in our financial strength and credit ratings; (11) our ability to develop digital capabilities or execute on our technology systems upgrades or replacements; (12) actual experience in the broad array of our products that deviates from our assumptions used in pricing, underwriting, and reserving; (13) availability of reinsurance in the market and the ability of our reinsurers to meet their obligations to us; (14) ability to generate sufficient internal liquidity and/or obtain external financing; (15) damage to our reputation due to, among other factors, regulatory investigations, legal proceedings, external events, and/or inadequate or failed internal controls and procedures; (16) effectiveness of our risk management program; (17) contingencies and the level and results of litigation; (18) ineffectiveness of our derivatives hedging programs due to changes in the economic environment, counterparty risk, ratings downgrades, capital market volatility, changes in interest rates, and/or regulation; (19) fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates; and (20) recoverability and/or realization of the carrying value of our intangible assets, long-lived assets, and deferred tax assets.

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 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.

Appendix to Statistical Supplement

2020 Significant Items

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.

2018 Significant Items

In October 2018, we acquired 100 percent of the shares and voting interests in Unum Poland, a financial protection benefits provider in Poland. This acquisition will expand our European presence, which we believe to be an attractive market for financial protection benefits. This acquisition, the results of which are included in our consolidated financial statements for the period subsequent to the date of acquisition, did not have a material impact on revenue, operating results, or sales during 2018.
Third quarter of 2018 reserve increase of $750.8 million before tax and $593.1 million after tax related to long-term care.
In January 2016, the FASB issued an update that changed the accounting and disclosure requirements for certain financial instruments. These changes include a requirement to measure equity investments, other than those that result in consolidation or are accounted for under the equity method, at fair value through net income unless the investment qualifies for certain practicability exceptions. In addition, the update clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale fixed maturity securities. We adopted this update effective January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment as of January 1, 2018 which resulted in a decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) of $17.5 million, an increase to retained earnings of $14.5 million, a decrease to other long-term investments of $3.8 million, and a decrease to deferred income tax liability of $0.8 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 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; 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. We also 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. We exclude these items as we believe them to be infrequent or unusual in nature, but this exclusion is not an indication that similar items may not recur and does not replace the comparable GAAP measures in the determination of overall profitability.

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 16.2, other than book value per common share, which is presented on page 2.

Due to the implementation of a FASB update for which the beginning balances of 2020 and 2019 for certain stockholders' equity line items were adjusted, we are computing the average allocated equity for 2020 and 2019 using internally allocated equity that reflects the adjusted beginning balances at January 1, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As a result, average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 for certain of our segments will not compute using the historical allocated equity at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
