NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Formation of Genworth and Basis of Presentation

Genworth Holdings, Inc. (“Genworth Holdings”) (formerly known as Genworth Financial, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware in 2003 in preparation for an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Genworth common stock, which was completed on May 28, 2004. On April 1, 2013, Genworth Holdings completed a holding company reorganization pursuant to which Genworth Holdings became a direct, 100% owned subsidiary of a new public holding company that it had formed. The new public holding company was incorporated in Delaware on December 5, 2012, in connection with the reorganization, under the name Sub XLVI, Inc., and was renamed Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth Financial”) upon the completion of the reorganization.

References to “Genworth,” the “Company,” “we” or “our” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes thereto have the following meanings, unless the context otherwise requires:

 

    For periods prior to April 1, 2013: Genworth Holdings and its subsidiaries

 

    For periods from and after April 1, 2013: Genworth Financial and its subsidiaries

The accompanying condensed financial statements include on a consolidated basis the accounts of Genworth and our affiliate companies in which we hold a majority voting interest or where we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We have the following operating segments:

 

    U.S. Life Insurance. We offer and manage a variety of insurance and fixed annuity products in the United States. Our primary products include life insurance, long-term care insurance and fixed annuities.

 

    International Mortgage Insurance. We are a leading provider of mortgage insurance products and related services in Canada and Australia and also participate in select European and other countries. Our products predominantly insure prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. We also selectively provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk, basis that aids in the sale of mortgages to the capital markets and helps lenders manage capital and risk. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate efficiently and manage risk.

 

    U.S. Mortgage Insurance. In the United States, we offer mortgage insurance products predominantly insuring prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. We selectively provide mortgage insurance on a bulk basis with essentially all of our bulk writings prime-based. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate efficiently and manage risk.

 

    International Protection. We are a leading provider of payment protection coverages (referred to as lifestyle protection) in multiple European countries and have operations in select other countries. Our lifestyle protection insurance products primarily help consumers meet specified payment obligations should they become unable to pay due to accident, illness, involuntary unemployment, disability or death.

 

   

Runoff. The Runoff segment includes the results of non-strategic products which are no longer actively sold. Our non-strategic products primarily include our variable annuity, variable life insurance, institutional, corporate-owned life insurance and other accident and health insurance products.

Institutional products consist of funding agreements, funding agreements backing notes (“FABNs”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”). In January 2011, we discontinued new sales of retail and group variable annuities while continuing to service our existing blocks of business.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include debt financing expenses that are incurred at the Genworth Holdings level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, eliminations of inter-segment transactions and the results of other non-core businesses that are managed outside of our operating segments, including discontinued operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary by management to present a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

(2) Accounting Changes

Accounting Pronouncement Recently Adopted

On January 1, 2014, we adopted new accounting guidance on the scope, measurement and disclosure requirements for investment companies. The new guidance clarified the characteristics of an investment company, provided comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company, required investment companies to measure noncontrolling ownership interest in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting and required additional disclosures. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We generally intend to hold securities in unrealized loss positions until they recover. However, from time to time, our intent on an individual security may change, based upon market or other unforeseen developments. In such instances, we sell securities in the ordinary course of managing our portfolio to meet diversification, credit quality, yield and liquidity requirements. If a loss is recognized from a sale subsequent to a balance sheet date due to these unexpected developments, the loss is recognized in the period in which we determined that we have the intent to sell the securities or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery. The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $265 million and $577 million, respectively, which was approximately 92% and 90%, respectively, of book value.

The following represents the activity for credit losses recognized in net income on debt securities where an other-than-temporary impairment was identified and a portion of other-than-temporary impairments was included in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) as of and for the three months ended March 31:

As indicated in the table above, the majority of the securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months were investment grade and less than 20% below cost. These unrealized losses were primarily attributable to lower credit ratings since acquisition for corporate securities across various industry sectors and an increase in U.S. Treasury yields since these securities were purchased. For securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, the average fair value percentage below cost was approximately 4% as of March 31, 2014.

Fixed Maturity Securities In A Continuous Unrealized Loss Position For 12 Months Or More

Of the $205 million of unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities in a continuous unrealized loss for 12 months or more that were less than 20% below cost, the weighted-average rating was “A+” and approximately 91% of the unrealized losses were related to investment grade securities as of March 31, 2014. These unrealized losses were attributable to the lower credit ratings for these securities since acquisition, primarily associated with corporate securities in the finance and insurance and utilities and energy sectors and structured securities, in addition to U.S. government, agencies and government-sponsored enterprises securities resulting from an increase in U.S. Treasury yields since these securities were purchased. The average fair value percentage below cost for these securities was approximately 9% as of March 31, 2014. See below for additional discussion related to fixed maturity securities that have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more with a fair value that was more than 20% below cost.

For all securities in an unrealized loss position, we expect to recover the amortized cost based on our estimate of cash flows to be collected. We do not intend to sell nor do we expect that we will be required to sell these securities prior to recovering our amortized cost. See below for further discussion of gross unrealized losses by asset class.

U. S. government, agencies and government-sponsored enterprises

As indicated in the table above, $9 million of gross unrealized losses were related to one U.S. government, agencies and government-sponsored enterprises security that had been in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months and was greater than 20% below cost. The unrealized losses for the U.S. government, agencies and government-sponsored enterprises security represented a long-term, zero coupon U.S. Treasury bond. An increase in U.S. Treasury yields since the security was purchased resulted in a decrease in fair value. We expect this security to accrete up to par value over time.

Structured Securities

Of the $53 million of unrealized losses related to structured securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more and were more than 20% below cost, $2 million related to other-than-temporarily impaired securities where the unrealized losses represented the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in OCI. The extent and duration of the unrealized loss position on our structured securities was primarily due to credit spreads that have widened since acquisition. Additionally, the fair value of certain structured securities has been impacted from high risk premiums being incorporated into the valuation as a result of the amount of potential losses that may be absorbed by the security in the event of additional deterioration in the U.S. economy.

While we considered the length of time each security had been in an unrealized loss position, the extent of the unrealized loss position and any significant declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date in our evaluation of impairment for each of these individual securities, the primary factor in our evaluation of impairment is the expected performance for each of these securities. Our evaluation of expected performance is based on the historical performance of the associated securitization trust as well as the historical performance of the underlying collateral. Our examination of the historical performance of the securitization trust included consideration of the following factors for each class of securities issued by the trust: i) the payment history,

 

17

(Unaudited)

 

including failure to make scheduled payments; ii) current payment status; iii) current and historical outstanding balances; iv) current levels of subordination and losses incurred to date; and v) characteristics of the underlying collateral. Our examination of the historical performance of the underlying collateral included: i) historical default rates, delinquency rates, voluntary and involuntary prepayments and severity of losses, including recent trends in this information; ii) current payment status; iii) loan to collateral value ratios, as applicable; iv) vintage; and v) other underlying characteristics such as current financial condition.

We used our assessment of the historical performance of both the securitization trust and the underlying collateral for each security, along with third-party sources, when available, to develop our best estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. These estimates reflect projections for future delinquencies, prepayments, defaults and losses for the assets that collateralize the securitization trust and are used to determine the expected cash flows for our security, based on the payment structure of the trust. Our projection of expected cash flows is primarily based on the expected performance of the underlying assets that collateralize the securitization trust and is not directly impacted by the rating of our security. While we consider the rating of the security as an indicator of the financial condition of the issuer, this factor does not have a significant impact on our expected cash flows for each security. In limited circumstances, our expected cash flows include expected payments from reliable financial guarantors where we believe the financial guarantor will have sufficient assets to pay claims under the financial guarantee when the cash flows from the securitization trust are not sufficient to make scheduled payments. We then discount the expected cash flows using the effective yield of each security to determine the present value of expected cash flows.

Based on this evaluation, the present value of expected cash flows was greater than or equal to the amortized cost for each security. Accordingly, we determined that the unrealized losses on each of our structured securities represented temporary impairments as of March 31, 2014.

Despite the considerable analysis and rigor employed on our structured securities, it is at least reasonably possible that the underlying collateral of these investments will perform worse than current market expectations. Such events may lead to adverse changes in cash flows on our holdings of structured securities and future write-downs within our portfolio of structured securities.

As of March 31, 2014, $6,076 million of our investments (excluding mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities) were subject to certain call provisions.

As of March 31, 2014, securities issued by utilities and energy, finance and insurance, and consumer—non-cyclical industry groups represented approximately 24%, 19% and 13%, respectively, of our domestic and foreign corporate fixed maturity securities portfolio. No other industry group comprised more than 10% of our investment portfolio. This portfolio is widely diversified among various geographic regions in the United States and internationally, and is not dependent on the economic stability of one particular region.

As of March 31, 2014, we did not hold any fixed maturity securities in any single issuer, other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, which exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity.

(e) Commercial Mortgage Loans

Our mortgage loans are collateralized by commercial properties, including multi-family residential buildings. The carrying value of commercial mortgage loans is stated at original cost net of prepayments, amortization and allowance for loan losses.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no commercial mortgage loans that were past due for more than 90 days and still accruing interest. We also did not have any commercial mortgage loans that were past due for less than 90 days on non-accrual status as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

We evaluate the impairment of commercial mortgage loans on an individual loan basis. As of March 31, 2014, our commercial mortgage loans greater than 90 days past due included loans with appraised values in excess of the recorded investment and the current recorded investment of these loans was expected to be recoverable.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, we modified or extended 3 and 33 commercial mortgage loans, respectively, with a total carrying value of $23 million and $165 million, respectively. All of these modifications or extensions were based on current market interest rates, did not result in any forgiveness in the outstanding principal amount owed by the borrower and were not considered troubled debt restructurings.

As of March 31, 2014, we had individually impaired commercial mortgage loans included within the industrial property type with a recorded investment of $15 million, an unpaid principal balance of $16 million, charge-offs of $1 million and an average recorded investment of $15 million. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had individually impaired commercial mortgage loans included within the retail property type with a recorded investment of $2 million, an unpaid principal balance of $3 million, charge-offs of $1 million, which were recorded in the second quarter of 2013, and an average recorded investment of $2 million.

In evaluating the credit quality of commercial mortgage loans, we assess the performance of the underlying loans using both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Certain risks associated with commercial mortgage loans can be evaluated by reviewing both the loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratio to understand both the probability of the borrower not being able to make the necessary loan payments as well as the ability to sell the underlying property for an amount that would enable us to recover our unpaid principal balance in the event of default by the borrower. The average loan-to-value ratio is based on our most recent estimate of the fair value for the underlying property which is evaluated at least annually and updated more frequently if necessary to better indicate risk associated with the loan. A lower loan-to-value indicates that our loan value is more likely to be recovered in the event of default by the borrower if the property was sold. The debt service coverage ratio is based on “normalized” annual net operating income of the property compared to the payments required under the terms of the loan. Normalization allows for the removal of annual one-time events such as capital expenditures, prepaid or late real estate tax payments or non-recurring third-party fees (such as legal, consulting or contract fees). This ratio is evaluated at least annually and updated more frequently if necessary to better indicate risk associated with the loan. A higher debt service coverage ratio indicates the borrower is less likely to default on the loan. The debt service coverage ratio should not be used without considering other factors associated with the borrower, such as the borrower’s liquidity or access to other resources that may result in our expectation that the borrower will continue to make the future scheduled payments.

We have a consolidated securitization entity that holds commercial mortgage loans that are recorded as restricted commercial mortgage loans related to securitization entities.

(g) Restricted Other Invested Assets Related To Securitization Entities

We have consolidated securitization entities that hold certain investments that are recorded as restricted other invested assets related to securitization entities. The consolidated securitization entities hold certain investments as trading securities whereby the changes in fair value are recorded in current period income (loss). The trading securities comprise asset-backed securities, including residual interest in certain policy loan securitization entities and highly rated bonds that are primarily backed by credit card receivables.

(5) Derivative Instruments

Our business activities routinely deal with fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, currency exchange rates and other asset and liability prices. We use derivative instruments to mitigate or reduce certain of these risks. We have established policies for managing each of these risks, including prohibitions on derivatives market-making and other speculative derivatives activities. These policies require the use of derivative instruments in concert with other techniques to reduce or mitigate these risks. While we use derivatives to mitigate or reduce risks, certain derivatives do not meet the accounting requirements to be designated as hedging instruments and are denoted as “derivatives not designated as hedges” in the following disclosures. For derivatives that meet the accounting requirements to be designated as hedges, the following disclosures for these derivatives are denoted as “derivatives designated as hedges,” which include both cash flow and fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges

Certain derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded as a component of OCI. We designate and account for the following as cash flow hedges when they have met the effectiveness requirements: (i) various types of interest rate swaps to convert floating rate investments to fixed rate investments; (ii) various types of interest rate swaps to convert floating rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities; (iii) receive U.S. dollar fixed on foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated investments; (iv) forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge against changes in interest rates associated with future fixed rate bond purchases and/or interest income; (v) forward bond purchase commitments to hedge against the variability in the anticipated cash flows required to purchase future fixed rate bonds; and (vi) other instruments to hedge the cash flows of various forecasted transactions.

The total of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of $1,538 million, net of taxes, recorded in stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2014 is expected to be reclassified to net income in the future, concurrently with and primarily offsetting changes in interest expense and interest income on floating rate instruments and interest income on future fixed rate bond purchases. Of this amount, $43 million, net of taxes, is expected to be reclassified to net income in the next 12 months. Actual amounts may vary from this amount as a result of market conditions. All forecasted transactions associated with qualifying cash flow hedges are expected to occur by 2047. No amounts were reclassified to net income during the three months ended March 31, 2014 in connection with forecasted transactions that were no longer considered probable of occurring.

Fair Value Hedges

Certain derivative instruments are designated as fair value hedges. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in net income. In addition, changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged portion of the underlying instrument are reported in net income. We designate and account for the following as fair value hedges when they have met the effectiveness requirements: (i) interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate investments to floating rate investments; (ii) interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate liabilities into floating rate liabilities; (iii) cross currency swaps to convert non-U.S. dollar fixed rate liabilities to floating rate U.S. dollar liabilities; and (iv) other instruments to hedge various fair value exposures of investments.

There were no pre-tax income (loss) effects of fair value hedges and related hedged items for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The following table provides information about the pre-tax income (loss) effects of fair value hedges and related hedged items for the three months ended March 31, 2013:

The difference between the gain (loss) recognized for the derivative instrument and the hedged item presented above represents the net ineffectiveness of the fair value hedging relationships. The other impacts presented above represent the net income effects of the derivative instruments that are presented in the same location as the income (loss) activity from the hedged item. There were no amounts excluded from the measurement of effectiveness.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges

We also enter into certain non-qualifying derivative instruments such as: (i) interest rate swaps and financial futures to mitigate interest rate risk as part of managing regulatory capital positions; (ii) credit default swaps to enhance yield and reproduce characteristics of investments with similar terms and credit risk; (iii) equity index options, equity return swaps, interest rate swaps and financial futures to mitigate the risks associated with liabilities that have guaranteed minimum benefits and fixed index annuities; (iv) interest rate swaps where the hedging relationship does not qualify for hedge accounting; (v) credit default swaps to mitigate loss exposure to certain credit risk; (vi) foreign currency forward contracts and options to mitigate currency risk associated with investments and future dividends and other cash flows from certain foreign subsidiaries to our holding company; and (vii) equity index options to mitigate certain macroeconomic risks associated with certain foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, we provide GMWBs on certain variable annuities that are required to be bifurcated as embedded derivatives. We also offer fixed index annuity products and have reinsurance agreements with certain features that are required to be bifurcated as embedded derivatives.

We also have derivatives related to securitization entities where we were required to consolidate the related securitization entity as a result of our involvement in the structure. The counterparties for these derivatives typically only have recourse to the securitization entity. The interest rate swaps used for these entities are typically used to effectively convert the interest payments on the assets of the securitization entity to the same basis as the interest rate on the borrowings issued by the securitization entity. Credit default swaps are utilized in certain securitization entities to enhance the yield payable on the borrowings issued by the securitization entity and also include a settlement feature that allows the securitization entity to provide the par value of assets in the securitization entity for the amount of any losses incurred under the credit default swap.

Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk

Most of our derivative arrangements with counterparties require the posting of collateral upon meeting certain net exposure thresholds. For derivatives related to securitization entities, there are no arrangements that require either party to provide collateral and the recourse of the derivative counterparty is typically limited to the assets held by the securitization entity and there is no recourse to any entity other than the securitization entity.

The following tables present additional information about derivative assets and liabilities subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement as of the dates indicated:

agreement. If the downgrade provisions had been triggered as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we could have been allowed to claim or required to disburse up to the net amounts shown in the last column of the charts above. The charts above exclude embedded derivatives and derivatives related to securitization entities as those derivatives are not subject to master netting arrangements.

Credit Derivatives

We sell protection under single name credit default swaps and credit default swap index tranches in combination with purchasing securities to replicate characteristics of similar investments based on the credit quality and term of the credit default swap. Credit default triggers for both indexed reference entities and single name reference entities follow the Credit Derivatives Physical Settlement Matrix published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association. Under these terms, credit default triggers are defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay or restructuring, if applicable. Our maximum exposure to credit loss equals the notional value for credit default swaps. In the event of default for credit default swaps, we are typically required to pay the protection holder the full notional value less a recovery rate determined at auction.

In addition to the credit derivatives discussed above, we also have credit derivative instruments related to securitization entities that we consolidate. These derivatives represent a customized index of reference entities with specified attachment points for certain derivatives. The credit default triggers are similar to those described above. In the event of default, the securitization entity will provide the counterparty with the par value of assets held in the securitization entity for the amount of incurred loss on the credit default swap. The maximum exposure to loss for the securitization entity is the notional value of the derivatives. Certain losses on these credit default swaps would be absorbed by the third-party noteholders of the securitization entity and the remaining losses on the credit default swaps would be absorbed by our portion of the notes issued by the securitization entity.

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Assets and liabilities that are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value are not included in the following disclosure of fair value. Such items include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, separate accounts, securities held as collateral and derivative instruments. Other financial assets and liabilities—those not carried at fair value—are discussed below. Apart from certain of our borrowings and certain marketable securities, few of the instruments discussed below are actively traded and their fair values must often be determined using models. The fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon available market information and judgments about the financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets.

The basis on which we estimate fair value is as follows:

Commercial mortgage loans. Based on recent transactions and/or discounted future cash flows, using current market rates. Given the limited availability of data related to transactions for similar instruments, we typically classify these loans as Level 3.

 

33


Table of Contents

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Restricted commercial mortgage loans. Based on recent transactions and/or discounted future cash flows, using current market rates. Given the limited availability of data related to transactions for similar instruments, we typically classify these loans as Level 3.

Other invested assets. Primarily represents short-term investments and limited partnerships accounted for under the cost method. The fair value of short-term investments typically does not include significant unobservable inputs and approximate our amortized cost basis. As a result, short-term investments are classified as Level 2. Limited partnerships are valued based on comparable market transactions, discounted future cash flows, quoted market prices and/or estimates using the most recent data available for the underlying instrument. Cost method limited partnerships typically include significant unobservable inputs as a result of being relatively illiquid with limited market activity for similar instruments and are classified as Level 3.

Long-term borrowings. We utilize available market data when determining fair value of long-term borrowings issued in the United States and Canada, which includes data on recent trades for the same or similar financial instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are classified as Level 2 measurements. In cases where market data is not available such as our long-term borrowings in Australia, we use broker quotes for which we consider the valuation methodology utilized by the third party, but the valuation typically includes significant unobservable inputs. Accordingly, we classify these borrowings where fair value is based on our consideration of broker quotes as Level 3 measurements.

Non-recourse funding obligations. We use an internal model to determine fair value using the current floating rate coupon and expected life/final maturity of the instrument discounted using the floating rate index and current market spread assumption, which is estimated based on recent transactions for these instruments or similar instruments as well as other market information or broker provided data. Given these instruments are private and very little market activity exists, our current market spread assumption is considered to have significant unobservable inputs in calculating fair value and, therefore, results in the fair value of these instruments being classified as Level 3.

Borrowings related to securitization entities. Based on market quotes or comparable market transactions. Some of these borrowings are publicly traded debt securities and are classified as Level 2. Certain borrowings are not publicly traded and are classified as Level 3.

Investment contracts. Based on expected future cash flows, discounted at current market rates for annuity contracts or institutional products. Given the significant unobservable inputs associated with policyholder behavior and current market rate assumptions used to discount the expected future cash flows, we classify these instruments as Level 3 except for certain funding agreement-backed notes that are traded in the marketplace as a security and are classified as Level 2.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We have fixed maturity, equity and trading securities, derivatives, embedded derivatives, securities held as collateral, separate account assets and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. Below is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to determine fair value by class of instrument.

Fixed maturity, equity and trading securities

The valuations of fixed maturity, equity and trading securities are determined using a market approach, income approach or a combination of the market and income approach depending on the type of instrument and availability of information. For all exchange-traded equity securities, the valuations are classified as Level 1.

We utilize certain third-party data providers when determining fair value. We consider information obtained from third-party pricing services (“pricing services”) as well as third-party broker provided prices, or broker quotes, in our determination of fair value. Additionally, we utilize internal models to determine the valuation of securities using an income approach where the inputs are based on third-party provided market inputs. While we consider the valuations provided by pricing services and broker quotes to be of high quality, management determines the fair value of our investment securities after considering all relevant and available information. We also use various methods to obtain an understanding of the valuation methodologies and procedures used by third-party data providers to ensure sufficient understanding to evaluate the valuation data received, including an understanding of the assumptions and inputs utilized to determine the appropriate fair value. For pricing services, we analyze the prices provided by our primary pricing services to other readily available pricing services and perform a detailed review of the assumptions and inputs from each pricing service to determine the appropriate fair value when pricing differences exceed certain thresholds. We also evaluate changes in fair value that are greater than 10% each month to further aid in our review of the accuracy of fair value measurements and our understanding of changes in fair value, with more detailed reviews performed by the asset managers responsible for the related asset class associated with the security being reviewed.

In general, we first obtain valuations from pricing services. If a price is not supplied by a pricing service, we will typically seek a broker quote for public or private fixed maturity securities. In certain instances, we utilize price caps for broker quoted securities where the estimated market yield results in a valuation that may exceed the amount that we believe would be received in a market transaction. For certain private fixed maturity securities where we do not obtain valuations from pricing services, we utilize an internal model to determine fair value since transactions for identical securities are not readily observable and these securities are not typically valued by pricing services. For all securities, excluding certain private fixed maturity securities, if neither a pricing service nor broker quotes valuation is available, we determine fair value using internal models.

For pricing services, we obtain an understanding of the pricing methodologies and procedures for each type of instrument. Additionally, on a monthly basis we review a sample of securities, examining the pricing service’s assumptions to determine if we agree with the service’s derived price. In general, a pricing service does not provide a price for a security if sufficient information is not readily available to determine fair value or if such security is not in the specific sector or class covered by a particular pricing service. Given our understanding of the pricing methodologies and procedures of pricing services, the securities valued by pricing services are typically classified as Level 2 unless we determine the valuation process for a security or group of securities utilizes significant unobservable inputs, which would result in the valuation being classified as Level 3.

For private fixed maturity securities, we utilize an internal model to determine fair value and utilize public bond spreads by sector, rating and maturity to develop the market rate that would be utilized for a similar public bond. We then add an additional premium, which represents an unobservable input, to the public bond spread to adjust for the liquidity and other features of our private placements. We utilize the estimated market yield to discount the expected cash flows of the security to determine fair value. In certain instances, we utilize price caps for securities where the estimated market yield results in a valuation that may exceed the amount that would be received in a market transaction. When a security does not have an external rating, we assign the security an internal rating to determine the appropriate public bond spread that should be utilized in the valuation. While we generally consider the public bond spreads by sector and maturity to be observable inputs, we evaluate the similarities of our private placement with the public bonds, any price caps utilized, liquidity premiums applied, and whether external ratings are available for our private placements to determine whether the spreads utilized would be considered observable inputs. We classify private securities without an external rating and public bond spread as Level 3. In general, increases (decreases) in credit spreads will decrease (increase) the fair value for our fixed maturity securities.

For broker quotes, we consider the valuation methodology utilized by the third party, but the valuation typically includes significant unobservable inputs. Accordingly, we classify the securities where fair value is based on our consideration of broker quotes as Level 3 measurements.

For remaining securities priced using internal models, we maximize the use of observable inputs but typically utilize significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. Accordingly, the valuations are typically classified as Level 3.

Restricted other invested assets related to securitization entities

We have trading securities related to securitization entities that are classified as restricted other invested assets and are carried at fair value. The trading securities represent asset-backed securities. The valuation for trading securities is determined using a market approach and/or an income approach depending on the availability of information. For certain highly rated asset-backed securities, there is observable market information for transactions of the same or similar instruments, which is provided to us by a third-party pricing service and is classified as Level 2. For certain securities that are not actively traded, we determine fair value after considering third-party broker provided prices or discounted expected cash flows using current yields for similar securities and classify these valuations as Level 3.

Securities lending and derivative counterparty collateral

The fair value of securities held as collateral is primarily based on Level 2 inputs from market information for the collateral that is held on our behalf by the custodian. We determine fair value after considering prices obtained by third-party pricing services.

Contingent consideration

We have certain contingent purchase price payments and receivables related to acquisitions and sales that are recorded at fair value each period. Fair value is determined using an income approach whereby we project the expected performance of the business and compare our projections of the relevant performance metric to the thresholds established in the purchase or sale agreement to determine our expected payments or receipts. We then discount these expected amounts to calculate the fair value as of the valuation date. We evaluate the underlying projections used in determining fair value each period and update these underlying projections when there have been significant changes in our expectations of the future business performance. The inputs used to determine the discount rate and expected payments or receipts are primarily based on significant unobservable inputs and result in the fair value of the contingent consideration being classified as Level 3. An increase in the discount rate or a decrease in expected payments or receipts will result in a decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration.

Separate account assets

The fair value of separate account assets is based on the quoted prices of the underlying fund investments and, therefore, represents Level 1 pricing.

Derivatives

We consider counterparty collateral arrangements and rights of set-off when evaluating our net credit risk exposure to our derivative counterparties. Accordingly, we are permitted to include consideration of these arrangements when determining whether any incremental adjustment should be made for both the counterparty’s

and our non-performance risk in measuring fair value for our derivative instruments. As a result of these counterparty arrangements, we determined that any adjustment for credit risk would not be material and we do not record any incremental adjustment for our non-performance risk or the non-performance risk of the derivative counterparty for our derivative assets or liabilities. We determine fair value for our derivatives using an income approach with internal models based on relevant market inputs for each derivative instrument. We also compare the fair value determined using our internal model to the valuations provided by our derivative counterparties with any significant differences or changes in valuation being evaluated further by our derivatives professionals that are familiar with the instrument and market inputs used in the valuation.

Interest rate swaps. The valuation of interest rate swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary input into the valuation represents the forward interest rate swap curve, which is generally considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2. For certain interest rate swaps, the inputs into the valuation also include the total returns of certain bonds that would primarily be considered an observable input and result in the derivative being classified as Level 2. For certain other swaps, there are features that provide an option to the counterparty to terminate the swap at specified dates. The interest rate volatility input used to value these options would be considered a significant unobservable input and results in the fair value measurement of the derivative being classified as Level 3. These options to terminate the swap by the counterparty are based on forward interest rate swap curves and volatility. As interest rate volatility increases, our valuation of the derivative changes unfavorably.

Interest rate swaps related to securitization entities. The valuation of interest rate swaps related to securitization entities is determined using an income approach. The primary input into the valuation represents the forward interest rate swap curve, which is generally considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Inflation indexed swaps. The valuation of inflation indexed swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve, the current consumer price index and the forward consumer price index curve, which are generally considered observable inputs, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Foreign currency swaps. The valuation of foreign currency swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve and foreign currency exchange rates, both of which are considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Credit default swaps. We have both single name credit default swaps and index tranche credit default swaps. For single name credit default swaps, we utilize an income approach to determine fair value based on using current market information for the credit spreads of the reference entity, which is considered observable inputs based on the reference entities of our derivatives and results in these derivatives being classified as Level 2. For index tranche credit default swaps, we utilize an income approach that utilizes current market information related to credit spreads and expected defaults and losses associated with the reference entities that comprise the respective index associated with each derivative. There are significant unobservable inputs associated with the timing and amount of losses from the reference entities as well as the timing or amount of losses, if any, that will be absorbed by our tranche. Accordingly, the index tranche credit default swaps are classified as Level 3. As credit spreads widen for the underlying issuers comprising the index, the change in our valuation of these credit default swaps will be unfavorable.

Credit default swaps related to securitization entities. Credit default swaps related to securitization entities represent customized index tranche credit default swaps and are valued using a similar methodology as described

above for index tranche credit default swaps. We determine fair value of these credit default swaps after considering both the valuation methodology described above as well as the valuation provided by the derivative counterparty. In addition to the valuation methodology and inputs described for index tranche credit default swaps, these customized credit default swaps contain a feature that permits the securitization entity to provide the par value of underlying assets in the securitization entity to settle any losses under the credit default swap. The valuation of this settlement feature is dependent upon the valuation of the underlying assets and the timing and amount of any expected loss on the credit default swap, which is considered a significant unobservable input. Accordingly, these customized index tranche credit default swaps related to securitization entities are classified as Level 3. As credit spreads widen for the underlying issuers comprising the customized index, the change in our valuation of these credit default swaps will be unfavorable.

Equity index options. We have equity index options associated with various equity indices. The valuation of equity index options is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent forward interest rate volatility and time value component associated with the optionality in the derivative, which are considered significant unobservable inputs in most instances. The equity index volatility surface is determined based on market information that is not readily observable and is developed based upon inputs received from several third-party sources. Accordingly, these options are classified as Level 3. As equity index volatility increases, our valuation of these options changes favorably.

Financial futures. The fair value of financial futures is based on the closing exchange prices. Accordingly, these financial futures are classified as Level 1. The period end valuation is zero as a result of settling the margins on these contracts on a daily basis.

Equity return swaps. The valuation of equity return swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve and underlying equity index values, which are generally considered observable inputs, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Forward bond purchase commitments. The valuation of forward bond purchase commitments is determined using an income approach. The primary input into the valuation represents the current bond prices and interest rates, which are generally considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Other foreign currency contracts. We have certain foreign currency options classified as other foreign currency contracts. The valuation of foreign currency options is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve, foreign currency exchange rates, forward interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate volatility, foreign equity index volatility and time value component associated with the optionality in the derivative. As a result of the significant unobservable inputs associated with the forward interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate volatility and foreign equity index volatility inputs, the derivative is classified as Level 3. As foreign currency exchange rate volatility and foreign equity index volatility increases, the change in our valuation of these options will be favorable for purchase options and unfavorable for options sold. We also have foreign currency forward contracts where the valuation is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward foreign currency exchange rates, which are generally considered observable inputs and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

GMWB embedded derivatives

We are required to bifurcate an embedded derivative for certain features associated with annuity products and related reinsurance agreements where we provide a GMWB to the policyholder and are required to record the

GMWB embedded derivative at fair value. The valuation of our GMWB embedded derivative is based on an income approach that incorporates inputs such as forward interest rates, equity index volatility, equity index and fund correlation, and policyholder assumptions such as utilization, lapse and mortality. In addition to these inputs, we also consider risk and expense margins when determining the projected cash flows that would be determined by another market participant. While the risk and expense margins are considered in determining fair value, these inputs do not have a significant impact on the valuation. We determine fair value using an internal model based on the various inputs noted above. The resulting fair value measurement from the model is reviewed by the product actuarial, risk and finance professionals each reporting period with changes in fair value also being compared to changes in derivatives and other instruments used to mitigate changes in fair value from certain market risks, such as equity index volatility and interest rates.

For GMWB liabilities, non-performance risk is integrated into the discount rate. Our discount rate used to determine fair value of our GMWB liabilities includes market credit spreads above U.S. Treasury rates to reflect an adjustment for the non-performance risk of the GMWB liabilities. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the impact of non-performance risk resulted in a lower fair value of our GMWB liabilities of $53 million and $46 million, respectively.

To determine the appropriate discount rate to reflect the non-performance risk of the GMWB liabilities, we evaluate the non-performance risk in our liabilities based on a hypothetical exit market transaction as there is no exit market for these types of liabilities. A hypothetical exit market can be viewed as a hypothetical transfer of the liability to another similarly rated insurance company which would closely resemble a reinsurance transaction. Another hypothetical exit market transaction can be viewed as a hypothetical transaction from the perspective of the GMWB policyholder. In determining the appropriate discount rate to incorporate non-performance risk of the GMWB liabilities, we also considered the impacts of state guarantees embedded in the related insurance product as a form of inseparable third-party guarantee. We believe that a hypothetical exit market participant would use a similar discount rate as described above to value the liabilities.

For equity index volatility, we determine the projected equity market volatility using both historical volatility and projected equity market volatility with more significance being placed on projected near-term volatility and recent historical data. Given the different attributes and market characteristics of GMWB liabilities compared to equity index options in the derivative market, the equity index volatility assumption for GMWB liabilities may be different from the volatility assumption for equity index options, especially for the longer dated points on the curve.

Equity index and fund correlations are determined based on historical price observations for the fund and equity index.

For policyholder assumptions, we use our expected lapse, mortality and utilization assumptions and update these assumptions for our actual experience, as necessary. For our lapse assumption, we adjust our base lapse assumption by policy based on a combination of the policyholder’s current account value and GMWB benefit.

We classify the GMWB valuation as Level 3 based on having significant unobservable inputs, with equity index volatility and non-performance risk being considered the more significant unobservable inputs. As equity index volatility increases, the fair value of the GMWB liabilities will increase. Any increase in non-performance risk would increase the discount rate and would decrease the fair value of the GMWB liability. Additionally, we consider lapse and utilization assumptions to be significant unobservable inputs. An increase in our lapse assumption would decrease the fair value of the GMWB liability, whereas an increase in our utilization rate would increase the fair value.

Fixed index annuity embedded derivatives

We offer fixed indexed annuity products where interest is credited to the policyholder’s account balance based on equity index changes. This feature is required to be bifurcated as an embedded derivative and recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach where the present value of the excess cash flows above the guaranteed cash flows is used to determine the value attributed to the equity index feature. The inputs used in determining the fair value include policyholder behavior (lapses and withdrawals), near-term equity index volatility, expected future interest credited, forward interest rates and an adjustment to the discount rate to incorporate non-performance risk and risk margins. As a result of our assumptions for policyholder behavior and expected future interest credited being considered significant unobservable inputs, we classify these instruments as Level 3. As lapses and withdrawals increase, the value of our embedded derivative liability will decrease. As expected future interest credited decreases, the value of our embedded derivative liability will decrease.

Borrowings related to securitization entities

We record certain borrowings related to securitization entities at fair value. The fair value of these borrowings is determined using either a market approach or income approach, depending on the instrument and availability of market information. Given the unique characteristics of the securitization entities that issued these borrowings as well as the lack of comparable instruments, we determine fair value considering the valuation of the underlying assets held by the securitization entities and any derivatives, as well as any unique characteristics of the borrowings that may impact the valuation. After considering all relevant inputs, we determine fair value of the borrowings using the net valuation of the underlying assets and derivatives that are backing the borrowings. Accordingly, these instruments are classified as Level 3. Increases in the valuation of the underlying assets or decreases in the derivative liabilities will result in an increase in the fair value of these borrowings.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

We review the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers between levels at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. Given the types of assets classified as Level 1, which primarily represents mutual fund investments, we typically do not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurement categories and did not have any such transfers during any period presented.

Our assessment of whether or not there were significant unobservable inputs related to fixed maturity securities was based on our observations obtained through the course of managing our investment portfolio, including interaction with other market participants, observations related to the availability and consistency of pricing and/or rating, and understanding of general market activity such as new issuance and the level of secondary market trading for a class of securities. Additionally, we considered data obtained from third-party pricing sources to determine whether our estimated values incorporate significant unobservable inputs that would result in the valuation being classified as Level 3.

Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements represent the activity that occurred during the period that results in a change of the asset or liability but does not represent changes in fair value for the instruments held at the beginning of the period. Such activity primarily consists of purchases, sales and settlements of fixed maturity, equity and trading securities and purchases, issuances and settlements of derivative instruments.

Issuances and settlements presented for policyholder account balances represent the issuances and settlements of embedded derivatives associated with our GMWB liabilities where: issuances are characterized as the change in fair value

We have shown these changes in fair value separately based on the classification of this activity as effectively issuing and settling the embedded derivative instrument with all remaining changes in the fair value of these embedded derivative instruments being shown separately in the category labeled “included in net (income)” in the tables presented above.

Certain classes of instruments classified as Level 3 are excluded below as a result of not being material or due to limitations in being able to obtain the underlying inputs used by certain third-party sources, such as broker quotes, used as an input in determining fair value.

(7) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Litigation and Regulatory Matters

We face the risk of litigation and regulatory investigations and actions in the ordinary course of operating our businesses, including the risk of class action lawsuits. Our pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings specific to us and others generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which we operate. In our insurance operations, we are, have been, or may become subject to class actions and individual suits alleging, among other things, issues relating to sales or underwriting practices, increases to in-force long-term care insurance premiums, payment of contingent or other sales commissions, claims payments and procedures, product design, product disclosure, administration, additional premium charges for premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, charging excessive or impermissible fees on products,

recommending unsuitable products to customers, our pricing structures and business practices in our mortgage insurance businesses, such as captive reinsurance arrangements with lenders and contract underwriting services, violations of the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act of 1974 (“RESPA”) or related state anti-inducement laws, and mortgage insurance policy rescissions and curtailments, and breaching fiduciary or other duties to customers, including but not limited to breach of customer information. Plaintiffs in class action and other lawsuits against us may seek very large or indeterminate amounts which may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In our investment-related operations, we are subject to litigation involving commercial disputes with counterparties. We are also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities such as our contractual and employment relationships. In addition, we are also subject to various regulatory inquiries, such as information requests, subpoenas, books and record examinations and market conduct and financial examinations from state, federal and international regulators and other authorities. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if we ultimately prevail in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we could suffer significant reputational harm, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2014, Genworth Financial, Inc., and a former and current officer were named in a putative class action lawsuit captioned City of Hialeah Employees’ Retirement System v. Genworth Financial, Inc., et al, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Plaintiff alleges securities law violations involving certain disclosures in 2012 concerning Genworth’s Australian mortgage insurance business, including our plans for an initial public offering of the business. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, costs and attorneys’ fees and such equitable/injunctive relief as the court may deem proper. We intend to vigorously defend this action.

As previously disclosed, in December 2009, one of our former non-insurance subsidiaries, one of the former subsidiary’s officers and Genworth Financial, Inc. (now known as Genworth Holdings, Inc.) were named in a putative class action lawsuit captioned Michael J. Goodman and Linda Brown v. Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc. et al., in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Plaintiffs allege securities law and other violations involving the selection of mutual funds by our former subsidiary on behalf of certain of its Private Client Group clients. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary other relief. Oral argument on plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class action was conducted on January 30, 2013. On April 15, 2014, the court issued its decision denying the plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class.

As previously disclosed, in April 2012, two of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries were named as respondents in two arbitrations, one brought by Bank of America, N.A. and one brought by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. and Bank of America, N.A. as claimants. Claimants alleged breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and seek a declaratory judgment relating to our denial, curtailment and rescission of mortgage insurance coverage. Subject to approval by the government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”), we reached an agreement on December 31, 2013 to resolve that portion of both arbitrations involving rescission practices. In addition to GSE approval, which remains outstanding, consummation of the settlement was also conditioned upon the parties’ prior negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement requiring submission of curtailment and denial disputes to a binding alternative dispute proceeding (“Curtailment ADR Agreement”). In March 2014, the parties executed the Curtailment ADR Agreement. Genworth plans to continue to vigorously defend its practices in the arbitrations.

As previously disclosed, beginning in December 2011 and continuing through January 2013, one of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries was named along with several other mortgage insurers and mortgage lenders as a defendant in twelve putative class action lawsuits alleging that certain “captive reinsurance arrangements” were

in violation of RESPA. On February 5, 2014, the court in Menichino denied the motions to dismiss without prejudice to the defendants re-raising the affirmative defense of the statute of limitations on a more fully developed record at summary judgment. On March 5, 2014 the Ba case was stayed, pending the outcome of the Riddle appeal by plaintiff of the court’s decision granting our motion for summary judgment dismissing the case as time barred. On March 26, 2014 the Menichino action was stayed pending the outcome of the Riddle appeal. We intend to vigorously defend the remaining actions.

At this time, we cannot determine or predict the ultimate outcome of any of the pending legal and regulatory matters specifically identified above or the likelihood of potential future legal and regulatory matters against us. In light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, no amounts have been accrued. We also are not able to provide an estimate or range of possible losses related to these matters.

(b) Commitments

As of March 31, 2014, we were committed to fund $65 million in limited partnership investments, $73 million in U.S. commercial mortgage loans and $22 million in private placement investments.

(8) Borrowings and Other Financings

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2014, on April 1, 2014, Genworth MI Canada Inc. (“Genworth Canada”), our majority-owned subsidiary, issued CAD$160 million of 4.24% senior notes due 2024. The senior notes are redeemable at the option of Genworth Canada, in whole or in part, at any time. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to redeem, in full, its existing senior notes due December 2015 with a principal amount of CAD$150 million and bearing a fixed annual interest rate of 4.59%. In conjunction with the redemption, Genworth Canada will make an early redemption payment to existing noteholders of approximately CAD$7 million in the second quarter of 2014.

(9) Segment Information

We operate through three divisions: U.S. Life Insurance, Global Mortgage Insurance and Corporate and Other. Under these divisions, there are five operating business segments. The U.S. Life Insurance Division includes the U.S. Life Insurance segment. The Global Mortgage Insurance Division includes the International Mortgage Insurance and U.S. Mortgage Insurance segments. The Corporate and Other Division includes the International Protection and Runoff segments and Corporate and Other activities. Our operating business segments are as follows: (1) U.S. Life Insurance, which includes our life insurance, long-term care insurance and fixed annuities businesses; (2) International Mortgage Insurance, which includes mortgage insurance-related products and services; (3) U.S. Mortgage Insurance, which includes mortgage insurance-related products and services; (4) International Protection, which includes our lifestyle protection insurance business; and (5) Runoff, which includes the results of non-strategic products which are no longer actively sold. Our non-strategic products primarily include our variable annuity, variable life insurance, institutional, corporate-owned life insurance and other accident and health insurance products. Institutional products consist of: funding agreements, FABNs and GICs.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include debt financing expenses that are incurred at the Genworth Holdings level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, eliminations of inter-segment transactions and the results of other businesses that are managed outside of our operating segments, including discontinued operations.

We use the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment income (loss) and assets as our consolidated net income and assets. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of “net operating income (loss).” We define net operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Gains (losses) on insurance block transactions are defined as gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of non-recourse funding obligations, early termination fees for other financing restructuring and/or resulting gains (losses) on reinsurance restructuring for certain blocks of business. We exclude net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of our net investment gains (losses) is the result of impairments, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to our discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Goodwill impairments and gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, the early extinguishment of debt and insurance block transactions are also excluded from net operating income (loss) because, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. Other non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income (loss) if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we revised our definition of net operating income (loss) to exclude gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt and gains (losses) on insurance block transactions to better reflect the basis on which the performance of our business is internally assessed and to reflect management’s opinion that they are not indicative of overall operating trends. All prior periods have been re-presented to reflect this new definition.

While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that net operating income (loss), and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income (loss), are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Management also uses net operating income (loss) as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. However, the items excluded from net operating income (loss) have occurred in the past and could, and in some cases will, recur in the future. Net operating income (loss) is not a substitute for net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of net operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Our insurance company subsidiaries are restricted by state and foreign laws and regulations as to the amount of dividends they may pay to their parent without regulatory approval in any year, the purpose of which is to protect affected insurance policyholders and contractholders, not stockholders. Any dividends in excess of limits are deemed “extraordinary” and require approval. Based on estimated statutory results as of December 31, 2013, in accordance with applicable dividend restrictions, our subsidiaries could pay dividends of approximately $1.0 billion to us in 2014 without obtaining regulatory approval, and the remaining net assets are considered restricted. While the $1.0 billion is unrestricted, we do not expect our insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends to us in 2014 at this level as they retain capital for growth and to meet capital requirements and desired thresholds. As of March 31, 2014, Genworth Financial’s and Genworth Holdings’ subsidiaries had restricted net assets of $14.5 billion and $15.0 billion, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein and with our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will” or words of similar meaning and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions, which are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially due to global political, economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors and risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

   

Risks relating to our businesses, including downturns and volatility in global economies and equity and credit markets; downgrades or potential downgrades in our financial strength or credit ratings; interest rate fluctuations and levels; adverse capital and credit market conditions; the valuation of fixed maturity, equity and trading securities; defaults or other events impacting the value of our fixed maturity securities portfolio; defaults on our commercial mortgage loans or the mortgage loans underlying our investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities and volatility in performance; availability, affordability and adequacy of reinsurance; defaults by counterparties to reinsurance arrangements or derivative instruments; an adverse change in risk-based capital and other regulatory requirements; insufficiency of reserves and required increases to reserve liabilities; legal and regulatory constraints on dividend distributions by our subsidiaries; competition, including from government-owned and government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”) offering mortgage insurance; loss of key distribution partners; regulatory restrictions on our operations and changes in applicable laws and regulations; legal or regulatory investigations or actions; the failure of or any compromise of the security of our computer systems and confidential information contained therein; the occurrence of natural or man-made disasters or a pandemic; the effect of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; ineffective or inadequate risk management program; changes in accounting and reporting standards; goodwill impairments; impairments of or valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets; significant deviations from our assumptions in our insurance policies and annuity contracts; accelerated amortization of deferred acquisition costs and present value of future profits; ability to increase premiums on in-force and future long-term care insurance products, including any current rate actions and any future rate actions; the failure of demand for life insurance, long-term care insurance and fixed annuity products to increase; medical advances, such as genetic research and diagnostic imaging, and related legislation; ability to continue to implement actions to mitigate the impact of statutory reserve requirements; political and economic instability or changes in government policies; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and international securities markets; the significant portion of our international mortgage insurance risk in-force with high loan-to-value ratios; increases in U.S. mortgage insurance default rates; failure to meet, or have waived to the extent needed, our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries’ minimum statutory capital requirements and hazardous financial condition standards; the influence of Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and a small number of large mortgage lenders and investors and changes to the role or structure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; failure to meet the revised GSE eligibility standards (the “MI Eligibility Standards”); ability to realize the benefits of our rescissions and curtailments; the extent to which loan modifications and other similar programs may provide benefits to us; deterioration in economic conditions or a decline in home prices in the United States; problems associated with foreclosure process defects in the United States that may defer claim payments; decreases in the volume of high loan-to-value mortgage originations or increases in mortgage insurance cancellations in the United States; increases in the use of alternatives to private

Overview

Our business

We are a leading financial services company dedicated to providing insurance, investment and financial solutions to our customers, with a presence in more than 25 countries. We operate through three divisions: U.S. Life Insurance, Global Mortgage Insurance and Corporate and Other. Under these divisions, there are five operating business segments. The U.S. Life Insurance Division includes the U.S. Life Insurance segment. The Global Mortgage Insurance Division includes the International Mortgage Insurance and U.S. Mortgage Insurance segments. The Corporate and Other Division includes the International Protection and Runoff segments and Corporate and Other activities. We have the following operating segments:

 

    U.S. Life Insurance. We offer and manage a variety of insurance and fixed annuity products in the United States. Our primary products include life insurance, long-term care insurance and fixed annuities.

 

    International Mortgage Insurance. We are a leading provider of mortgage insurance products and related services in Canada and Australia and also participate in select European and other countries. Our products predominantly insure prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. We also selectively provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk, basis that aids in the sale of mortgages to the capital markets and helps lenders manage capital and risk. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate efficiently and manage risk.

lifestyle protection insurance products primarily help consumers meet specified payment obligations should they become unable to pay due to accident, illness, involuntary unemployment, disability or death.

 

    Runoff. The Runoff segment includes the results of non-strategic products which are no longer actively sold. Our non-strategic products primarily include our variable annuity, variable life insurance, institutional, corporate-owned life insurance and other accident and health insurance products. Institutional products consist of funding agreements, funding agreements backing notes (“FABNs”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”). In January 2011, we discontinued new sales of retail and group variable annuities while continuing to service our existing blocks of business.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include debt financing expenses that are incurred at Genworth Holdings, Inc. (“Genworth Holdings”) level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, eliminations of inter-segment transactions and the results of other non-core businesses that are managed outside of our operating segments, including discontinued operations.

Business trends and conditions

Our business is, and we expect will continue to be, influenced by a number of industry-wide and product-specific trends and conditions.

General conditions and trends affecting our businesses

Financial and economic environment. The stability of both the financial markets and global economies in which we operate impacts the sales, revenue growth and profitability trends of our businesses. While equity and credit markets generally improved during 2013, equity and credit market volatility continued into January 2014 and credit spreads continued to compress further during the first quarter of 2014. Although the U.S. and several international financial markets experienced improvement during 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014, there are still concerns regarding global economies and the rate and strength of recovery.

The U.S. housing market showed signs of recovery during 2012 and 2013 with home prices rising in a number of regions and cities, but ongoing weakness in the U.S. economy continued to impact the rate of recovery. Unemployment and underemployment levels in the United States remained elevated in 2013. The March 2014 unemployment rate in the United States remained constant with the December 2013 rate. We expect unemployment and underemployment levels in the United States to remain elevated relative to those levels prevailing before 2009 and gradually decrease over time. In Canada, stable economic conditions have persisted with housing affordability benefiting from low interest rates and employment growth and average home prices increased modestly during 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014. The unemployment rate in Canada decreased slightly during 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014 and remains near its lowest level since December 2008. In Australia, the overall housing market generally improved as modest economic growth and low interest rates persisted, coupled with average home prices increasing across most regions during 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014. While unemployment in Australia increased slightly during 2013, reaching its highest level in three years, the March 2014 unemployment rate remained consistent with the December 2013 level. The Chinese economy had experienced significant growth over the past decade, but this growth slowed during 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014 and the new Chinese administration began to implement economic and credit market reforms. Gross domestic product growth in China in 2013 and the first quarter of 2014 was close to that of 2012, but significantly lower from growth over the last decade. Given the relative size of the Chinese economy, the impact of a significant change in the pace of economic expansion in China could impact global economies, partly as a result of lower commodity imports, particularly those from the Asia Pacific region, including Australia. Europe remained a challenging region with slow growth or a declining economic environment with lower lending activity and reduced consumer spending, particularly in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy, in part as a result of actual or anticipated austerity measures, but certain areas within Europe have shown a modest level of improvement during the second half of 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014. See “—Trends and conditions affecting our segments” below for a discussion regarding the impacts the financial markets and global economies have on our businesses.

Declining, slow or varied levels of economic growth, coupled with uncertain financial markets and economic outlooks, changes in government policy, regulatory reforms and other changes in market conditions, influenced, and we believe will continue to influence, investment and spending decisions by consumers and businesses as they adjust their consumption, debt, capital and risk profiles in response to these conditions. These trends change as investor confidence in the markets and the outlook for some consumers and businesses shift. As a result, our sales, revenues and profitability trends of certain insurance and investment products have been and could be further impacted negatively or positively going forward. In particular, factors such as government spending, monetary policies, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, anticipated tax policy changes and the impact of global financial regulation reform will continue to affect economic and business outlooks and consumer behaviors moving forward.

The U.S. and international governments, Federal Reserve, other central banks and other legislative and regulatory bodies have taken certain actions to support the economy and capital markets, influence interest rates, influence housing markets and mortgage servicing and provide liquidity to promote economic growth. These include various mortgage restructuring programs implemented or under consideration by the GSEs, lenders, servicers and the U.S. government. Outside of the United States, various governments and central banks have taken and continue to take actions to stimulate economies, stabilize financial systems and improve market liquidity. In aggregate, these actions had a positive effect in the short term on these countries and their markets; however, there can be no assurance as to the future level of impact these types of actions may have on the economic and financial markets, including levels of volatility. A delayed economic recovery period, a U.S. or global recession or regional or global financial crisis could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We manage our product offerings, liquidity, capital, investment and asset-liability management strategies to moderate risk especially during periods of strained economic and financial market conditions. In addition, we continue to review our product and distribution management strategies to align with our strengths, profitability targets and risk tolerance.

Credit and investment markets. The Federal Reserve continued to taper its asset purchases to $55.0 billion per month and could end its Long-Term Securities Asset Purchases Program in 2014. In addition, the Federal Reserve also shifted away from quantitative unemployment thresholds to qualitative guidance after the latest Open Market Committee meeting in March 2014. Despite this push by the Federal Reserve to withdraw stimulus and normalize monetary policy, global interest rates nonetheless fell, driven primarily by weather-related dampening in the growth of the U.S. gross domestic product coupled with generally subdued inflation expectations.

After a very brief period of volatility in late January 2014 mostly from emerging market political uncertainty, credit spreads for most fixed income asset classes recovered quickly and continued to compress further throughout the first quarter of 2014. The performance was supported by stable credit fundamentals and demand for fixed income products.

We recorded net other-than-temporary impairments of $1 million during the first quarter of 2014 compared to $12 million during the first quarter of 2013. Impairments have decreased across all asset classes due to improving economic conditions. Declines in interest rates and credit spreads have increased the value of our investments and derivatives, resulting in increases in net unrealized investment gains on securities of $712 million and derivatives qualifying as hedges of $219 million in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Economic conditions will continue to impact the valuation of our investment portfolios and the amount of other-than-temporary impairments.

Looking ahead, while we view the current credit environment as stable and corporate defaults are expected to remain low, company-specific spread widening could occur given an environment in which companies are rewarded to increase debt and return funds to shareholders. In addition, uncertainty relating to developments in

emerging markets could continue to result in spread volatility in emerging market bonds. We believe the current credit environment provides us with opportunities to invest across a variety of asset classes, but our returns will continue to be pressured because of low interest rates. The current environment will also provide opportunities to continue execution of various risk management disciplines involving further diversification within the investment portfolio. See “—Investments and Derivative Instruments” for additional information on our investment portfolio.

Trends and conditions affecting our segments

U.S. Life Insurance

Life insurance. Results of our life insurance business are impacted by sales, competitor actions, mortality, persistency, investment yields, expenses, reinsurance and statutory reserve requirements. Additionally, sales of our products and persistency of our insurance in-force are dependent on competitive product features and pricing, underwriting, distribution and customer service. Shifts in consumer demand, competitors’ actions, relative pricing, return on capital or reinsurance decisions and other factors, such as regulatory matters affecting life insurance policy reserve levels, can also affect our sales levels.

Life insurance sales increased 31% during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 largely attributable to our term life insurance products. Sales of our term life insurance products increased from modified pricing and improved service platforms. Sales levels were in line with expected results as the business is transitioning to term and new universal life insurance product offerings. This transition is expected to result in a broader set of profitable and competitive product offerings and we expect sales to increase further over time.

Throughout 2013, we experienced favorable mortality results in our universal life, term universal life and term life insurance products as compared to priced mortality assumptions. In the first quarter of 2014, we experienced higher mortality results for our universal life and term life insurance products. Mortality levels may deviate each period from historical trends. We experienced lower persistency in 2013 as compared to pricing assumptions for our 10-year term life insurance policies as they go through their post-level rate period. We expect this trend in persistency to continue as these 10-year term life insurance policies approach their post-level rate period and then moderate thereafter. As our 15-year term life insurance policies written in 1999 and 2000 approach their post-level rate period, if this block experiences lower persistency compared to pricing, we could expect additional amortization of deferred acquisition costs and lower profitability in our term life insurance products.

Regulations XXX and AXXX require insurers to establish additional statutory reserves for term life insurance policies with long-term premium guarantees and for certain universal life insurance policies with secondary guarantees. This increases the capital required to write these products. We have committed funding sources for approximately 95% of our anticipated peak level reserves currently required under Regulations XXX and AXXX. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) adopted revised statutory reserving requirements for new and in-force secondary guarantee universal life business subject to Actuarial Guideline 38 (“AG 38”) provisions, which became effective December 31, 2012. These requirements reflected an agreement reached and developed by a NAIC Joint Working Group which included regulators from several states, including New York. The financial impact related to the revised statutory reserving requirements on our in-force reserves subject to the new guidance was not significant as of December 31, 2012. On September 11, 2013, the New York Department of Financial Services (the “NYDFS”) announced that it no longer supported the agreement reached by the NAIC Working Group and that it would require New York licensed companies, including our New York domiciled insurance subsidiary, to use an alternative interpretation of AG 38 for universal life insurance products with secondary guarantees. We have been in discussions with the NYDFS about its alternative interpretation and recorded $80 million of additional statutory reserves as of December 31, 2013. We continue to work with the NYDFS to determine potential future impacts, if any. The NYDFS has not finalized a permanent update to the regulation. Depending on the final regulation, our New York domiciled insurance subsidiary’s statutory reserves could increase significantly over time.

Uncertainties associated with our continued use of U.S.-domiciled captive life reinsurance subsidiaries are primarily related to potential regulatory changes. During 2012, the NAIC began a review of the insurance industry’s use of captive life reinsurance subsidiaries and is considering changes to its model regulations. We are currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the NAIC’s review.

Although we do not believe it to be likely, a potential outcome of the NAIC review is that the life insurance industry may be prohibited from continuing to use captive life reinsurance subsidiaries. The expected effect of such prohibition would depend on the specific changes to state regulations that are adopted as a result of the NAIC review, including whether current captive life reinsurance structures would be allowed to continue in existence or, if not, the method and timing of their dissolution, as well as the cost and availability of alternative financing. At this time, given the uncertainty around these matters, we are unable to estimate the expected effects on our consolidated operations and financial position of the discontinuance of the use of captive life reinsurance subsidiaries to finance statutory reserves subject to Regulations XXX and AXXX and AG 38 in the future. If we were to discontinue our use of captive life reinsurance subsidiaries to finance statutory reserves in response to regulatory changes on a prospective basis, the reasonably likely impact would be increased costs related to alternative financing, such as third-party reinsurance, and potential reductions in or discontinuance of new term or universal life insurance sales, all of which would adversely impact our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we cannot be certain that affordable alternative financing would be available, if at all.

Long-term care insurance. Results of our long-term care insurance business are influenced by sales, competitor actions, morbidity, mortality, persistency, investment yields, expenses, changes in regulations and reinsurance. Additionally, sales of our products are impacted by the relative competitiveness of our offerings based on product features, pricing and commission levels, including the impact of in-force rate actions on distribution and consumer demand. Changes in regulations or government programs, including long-term care insurance rate action legislation, could impact our long-term care insurance business positively or negatively.

Our long-term care insurance sales decreased 45% during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 and decreased 15% from the fourth quarter of 2013. The lower sales in part reflected changes to our ability to generate consumer leads through affinity relationships, including the fact that effective June 1, 2013, we no longer offer AARP-branded long-term care insurance products. In 2013, we also took steps to improve our profit and risk profile with the introduction of a new product. As of March 31, 2014, this new product, which includes gender distinct pricing for single applicants and blood and lab underwriting requirements for all applicants, has been launched in 47 states. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2013, we began filing for regulatory approval of a new product, scheduled to be launched in July 2014. As of March 31, 2014, this new product has been filed in 49 states and we have received approvals from 43 states.

We also manage risk and limit capital allocated to our long-term care insurance business through utilization of internal and external reinsurance in the form of coinsurance. We have a portion of our long-term care insurance business reinsured internally by one of our Bermuda-domiciled captive life reinsurance subsidiaries. One of our strategic priorities is to repatriate our long-term care insurance business into our U.S.-domiciled life insurance company which we are seeking to complete in the second half of 2014. There will be no impact on our U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) consolidated results of operations and financial condition as the financial impact of this reinsurance eliminates in consolidation and we anticipate a small impact on our U.S. life insurance company risk-based capital ratio. In the first quarter of 2014, we executed an external reinsurance agreement reinsuring 20% of all sales of the product introduced in early 2013. External new business reinsurance levels vary and are dependent on a number of factors, including price, risk tolerance and capital levels. Over time, there can be no assurance that affordable reinsurance will continue to be available, if at all.

The annual loss ratios of our long-term care insurance business have ranged from 63% to 68% over the last five years and have been increasing over the past several years. We experience volatility in our loss ratios on a quarterly basis, which has produced loss ratios outside of the annual range, from period-to-period caused by

 

71


Table of Contents

variances in terminations, claim severity and changes in claim counts. Our rate actions may cause fluctuations in our loss ratios mainly when policyholders choose a reduced benefit option and reserves are adjusted during the period to reflect the policy modification. In addition, we evaluate claim reserves (including the underlying assumptions, e.g., morbidity) and refine our estimates from time to time which may also cause volatility in our operating results and loss ratios.

In spite of the rise in interest rates in 2013, continued low interest rates have put pressure on the profitability and returns of our long-term care insurance business as higher yielding investments have matured and been replaced with lower yielding investments. We seek to manage the impact of low interest rates through asset-liability management and hedging long-term care insurance product cash flows. We recently expanded our hedging strategy in connection with our new long-term care insurance product launched on April 15, 2013 in order to help mitigate interest rate risk.

As a result of ongoing challenges in our long-term care insurance business, we continue pursuing initiatives to improve the risk and profitability profile of our business including: price increases on our in-force liabilities; product refinements; changes to our current product offerings in certain states; investing in care coordination capabilities and service offerings; refining underwriting requirements; maintaining tight expense management; actively exploring additional reinsurance strategies; executing effective investment strategies; and considering other actions to improve the performance of the overall block. These efforts have included evaluating the need for future in-force premium rate increases on issued policies. In the third quarter of 2012, we initiated a round of long-term care insurance in-force premium rate increases with an expectation of achieving an average premium increase in excess of 50% on the older generation policies and an average premium increase in excess of 25% on an earlier series of new generation policies. Subject to regulatory approval, this premium rate increase is expected to generate approximately $250 million to $300 million of additional annual premiums when fully implemented over the next several years. We also expect our reserve levels, and thus our expected profitability, to be impacted by policyholder behavior which could include taking reduced benefits or non-forfeiture options within their policy coverage. The goal of our rate actions is to mitigate losses on the older generation products and help offset higher than priced-for loss ratios due to unfavorable business mix and lower lapse rates than expected on certain newer generation products which remain profitable but with returns lower than original expectations. While we did not receive any additional state approvals during the first quarter of 2014, we remain on track with our expected $250 million to $300 million of additional premiums when fully implemented in 2017. In the third quarter of 2013, we began filing for regulatory approval for premium rate increases ranging between 6% and 13% on more than $800 million in annualized in-force premiums on another series of new generation policies. As of March 31, 2014, we have received approvals in 11 states. The premium rate increases on these policies will help offset higher than priced-for loss ratios, which have been caused by lower than anticipated lapse rates and improvements in life expectancy. The approval process of an in-force rate increase and the amount and timing of the rate increase approved varies by state. In certain states, the decision to approve or disapprove a rate increase can take several years. Upon approval, insureds are provided with written notice of the increase and increases are generally applied on the insured’s policy anniversary date. Therefore, the benefits of any rate increase are not fully realized until the implementation cycle is complete.

Fixed annuities. Results of our fixed annuities business are affected by investment performance, interest rate levels, slope of the interest rate yield curve, net interest spreads, mortality, policyholder surrenders, expense and commission levels, new product sales, competitor actions and competitiveness of our offerings. Our competitive position within many of our distribution channels and our ability to grow this business depends on many factors, including product offerings and relative pricing.

In fixed annuities, sales may fluctuate as a result of consumer demand, competitor actions, changes in interest rates, credit spreads, relative pricing, return on capital decisions and our approach to managing risk. We monitor and change prices and crediting rates on fixed annuities to maintain spreads and targeted returns. We have targeted distributors and producers and maintained sales capabilities that align with our strategy. We expect to continue to manage these distribution relationships while selectively adding or shifting towards other product offerings, including fixed indexed annuities.

Table of Contents

Refinements of product offerings and related pricing, including ongoing evaluation of commission structures and changes in investment strategies, support our objective of achieving appropriate risk-adjusted returns. Sales of fixed annuities increased $413 million during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase in sales was a function of relatively low sales in the first quarter of 2013 driven by competitive pricing, increased penetration in the indexed annuity market and an increase in overall interest rate levels.

International Mortgage Insurance

Results of our international mortgage insurance business are affected by changes in regulatory environments, employment levels, consumer borrowing behavior, lender mortgage-related strategies, including lender servicing practices, and other economic and housing market influences, including interest rate trends, home price appreciation or depreciation, mortgage origination volume, levels and aging of mortgage delinquencies and movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

Canada and Australia comprise approximately 98% of our international mortgage insurance primary risk in-force. These established markets will continue to be key drivers of revenues and earnings in our international mortgage insurance business. During 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, foreign currencies continued weakening against the U.S. dollar, which negatively impacted the underlying reported results of our international mortgage insurance business. Further weakening of foreign currencies could negatively impact future results.

In Canada, stable economic conditions have persisted with housing affordability benefiting from low interest rates and employment growth. The unemployment rate decreased slightly during 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014 and remained near its lowest level since December 2008. We expect the unemployment rate to stay near current levels throughout 2014. Additionally, average home prices increased modestly during 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014 and we expect home prices to remain flat or increase modestly in 2014, as a balanced housing market persists. However, some market observers have expressed concerns about the strength of the Canadian housing market, and we will continue to closely monitor the market. The Bank of Canada has maintained the overnight rate at 1.0% during recent years and we expect this rate to be maintained at or near this level in 2014.

We believe the favorable macroeconomic factors in Canada are supportive of a relatively stable housing market, including the high loan-to-value mortgage market. Going forward, we expect the growth rate of the high loan-to-value market to keep pace with the growth in the overall housing resale market. We expect that the 2014 residential mortgage insurance premium opportunity for high loan-to-value mortgages will be modestly higher than in 2013, in line with the expected increase in housing resale activity and an increase in mortgage insurance premium rates by an average of 15%, which will become effective May 1, 2014.

In the 2013 federal budget, the Canadian government proposed to gradually limit the insurance of low loan-to-value mortgages to only those mortgages that will be used in the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (“CMHC”) securitization programs. In addition, the Canadian government intends to prohibit the use of any taxpayer-backed insured mortgage, both high and low loan-to-value, as collateral in securitization vehicles that are not sponsored by CMHC. We are in ongoing discussions with the Canadian government as it designs the structure to implement the proposed changes. The final impact of these proposed changes on our business cannot be assessed at this time, but could impact our bulk business.

Flow new insurance written in Canada in 2013 decreased modestly primarily due to a smaller mortgage origination market, particularly for high loan-to-value refinance transactions, as a result of recent revisions to mortgage insurance eligibility rules. During the first quarter of 2014, flow new insurance written decreased compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 primarily from a harsh and prolonged winter that we believe delayed home sales in the first quarter of 2014. Flow new insurance written in the first quarter of 2014 was lower than the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and more severe winter weather in the current year. As our large 2007 and 2008 book years are mostly past their peak earnings period, earned premiums in Canada declined in 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014.

Table of Contents

During 2013, losses in Canada decreased from previous levels as the total number of delinquencies and the proportion of new higher severity delinquencies declined, and we continued to realize benefits from our loss mitigation activities. Losses decreased sequentially during each of the four quarters of 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014 due to fewer new delinquencies as a result of strong credit quality of recent books and a stable economic environment, and a lower average reserve per delinquency due to a higher proportion of delinquencies in provinces where severity has been lower and home price appreciation.

In Australia, the overall economy continued to expand during 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014, though at a more modest pace than in prior years, with ongoing evidence of variation in economic activity across sectors and regions. At the same time, housing activity improved primarily from sustained low interest rates. The unemployment rate increased slightly during 2013, remaining close to its highest level in three years. The unemployment rate is expected to increase modestly from current levels through 2014. The overall housing market in Australia improved during 2013 and through the first quarter of 2014. During 2013, average home prices improved across all regions and during the first quarter of 2014 grew at the highest rate since early 2010. We expect average national home prices to increase modestly throughout the remainder of 2014. During recent years, the Reserve Bank of Australia has gradually lowered the official cash rate to 2.50%, with the latest interest rate cut occurring in August 2013, as Australian and global economic conditions were somewhat weaker than expected. This historically low level of interest rates is now below the low point reached during the global financial crisis when rates were lowered to 3.00%. While we do not expect cash rates to be reduced significantly from the current level in 2014, the Reserve Bank of Australia has indicated that it will continue to monitor the outlook and adjust monetary policy as needed to support the broader economy.

Total mortgage market activity in Australia improved during 2013 as consumer confidence improved and affordability rose to its highest level in recent years. In the first quarter of 2014, home price appreciation reduced housing affordability, but demand for housing activity was driven by low interest rates, limited new supply and population growth. This growth was also reflected in the higher loan-to-value mortgage origination market, and has underpinned improving levels of flow new insurance written throughout 2013. Earned premiums in Australia increased during 2013 and the first quarter of 2014 (excluding foreign exchange impacts) as a result of higher written premiums and the seasoning of our in-force block of business.

The overall delinquency rate continued to decrease during 2013 and the first quarter of 2014, ending the first quarter of 2014 at its lowest level since the end of 2008. The level and number of paid claims in 2013 and the first quarter of 2014 continued to decline due to increased borrower sales activity as well as improved severity. Losses declined sequentially throughout 2013 driven by fewer claims paid, increased borrower sales activity and improved severity. During the first quarter of 2014, losses were lower compared to the first quarter of 2013 due to a strong housing market, an elevated cure rate driven by lower interest rates and stable macroeconomic conditions.

We previously announced a plan to pursue a sale of up to 40% of our Australian mortgage insurance business, which is a strategic priority for 2014. Executing the planned sale through an IPO remains a key priority in reducing our exposure to mortgage insurance risk, rebalancing the capital among our three main mortgage insurance platforms and generating capital. As previously announced, on April 8, 2014, institutional investor education activities were commenced in Australia ahead of a possible IPO, and on April 23, 2014, our Australian mortgage insurance business filed a prospectus related to the IPO with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. We are seeking to complete the IPO during the first half of 2014, but its execution is subject to market conditions and valuation considerations, including business performance.

The overall economic environment in Europe began recovering in the second quarter of 2013 and is expected to continue to improve in 2014, but remains fragile. As a result of the lingering economic recession, we have seen an elevated number of delinquencies and lower cures, most notably in Ireland, contributing to losses in our European mortgage insurance business. In Ireland, we experienced increased delinquencies and reserves at the beginning of 2013 but more recently have observed a moderate improvement primarily driven by our loss mitigation efforts and lower number of new delinquencies. In the fourth quarter of 2013, lender settlements, primarily in Ireland, reduced delinquencies by approximately 2,400 and the outstanding risk in-force in Ireland by approximately 50%. For the remainder of 2014, we expect to continue our strategy of only writing new business in Italy, Finland, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Over the past several years, our global loss mitigation operations have enhanced both their capabilities and resources devoted to finding solutions that cure delinquencies and help keep borrowers in their homes. These efforts include lender mortgage-related strategies, such as loan modification programs designed to help borrowers maintain mortgage payments while they are experiencing personal hardships. These programs allow lenders to maintain their relationship with a borrower while retaining an interest earning asset. In addition, we have developed asset management strategies designed to efficiently dispose of properties when a borrower’s hardship cannot be cured. Such efforts include actively partnering with the lender and borrower to optimize the transition process and taking early possession of properties to mitigate claim payments. As a result, these types of loss mitigation activities have had a favorable impact on our financial results as well as our relationships in the marketplace.

Results of our U.S. mortgage insurance business are affected by the following factors: competitor actions; unemployment; underemployment; other economic and housing market trends, including interest rates, home prices, mortgage origination volume mix and practices; the levels and aging of mortgage delinquencies, which may be affected by seasonal variations, the inventory of unsold homes, lender modification and other servicing efforts; and resolution of pending or any future litigation among other items. The impact of prior years’ weakness and uncertainty in the domestic economy, related levels of unemployment and underemployment and resulting increase in foreclosures, the number of borrowers seeking loan modifications and the level of housing inventories with the related impact on home values, all combined to contribute adversely to the performance of our insured portfolio relating to our 2005 through 2008 book years. Going forward, we expect moderate economic growth characterized by ongoing modest improvement in home values coupled with an expectation that unemployment and underemployment levels will continue to gradually decrease over time. Our profitability expectations are subject to the continued recovery of the U.S. housing market, the extent of seasonality that has been historically experienced in the second half of the year, and certain other items such as the cost of resolution of pending litigation.

Prior to 2012, the convergence of a weak housing market, tightened lending standards, the lack of consumer confidence and the lack of liquidity in some mortgage securitization markets, along with volatility in mortgage interest rates, came together to drive a smaller mortgage origination market. During this same period, the private mortgage insurance penetration rate was driven down by growth in the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) originations, associated with multiple pricing, underwriting and loan size factors, and the negative impact of GSE guarantee fees and loan level pricing which made private mortgage insurance solutions less competitive with FHA solutions. Driven by lower interest rates and a strong refinancing market, the mortgage originations market recovered and strengthened during 2012 and 2013. During this same period, the private mortgage insurance industry saw its market penetration rate improve as the private mortgage insurance industry became more competitive versus the FHA alternative driven in part by FHA price, risk management and cancelability actions. In the first quarter of 2014, mortgage originations were lower as a result of expected seasonal trends, lower refinance activity and adverse weather conditions throughout much of the United States while the private mortgage insurance penetration rate was flat quarter over quarter. In addition, the most recent FHA price increase, which was effective April 1, 2013, continues to have a favorable impact on private mortgage insurance

competitiveness going forward. The positive impact to private mortgage insurance demand caused by this pattern has been offset in part by the increase in the cost of loans sold to the GSEs, which are insured by private mortgage insurance, that has resulted from increased GSE loan level fees compared to FHA insured loans which are not subject to GSE fees. In early 2014, the newly appointed director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) announced that the FHFA was considering proposed increases to GSE loan level fees. Further GSE guarantee or loan level fee increases could limit the demand for or competitiveness of private mortgage insurance. Considering both of these trends, as the mortgage originations market moves from a higher level of refinancing activities to that of a higher purchase origination market, we continue to believe the private mortgage insurance industry is likely to regain market share over time.

Our U.S. mortgage insurance market share in the first quarter of 2014 remained flat with the fourth quarter of 2013 driven in part by the impact of competitor pricing and underwriting guidelines. Our recent principal sources of competition include other private mortgage guaranty insurers, but we cannot predict the impact on our business of the change in the mix of private mortgage guaranty insurer competition following the financial crisis when certain legacy competitors ceased writing new business while other new entrants began writing business in recent periods. Even though home affordability is above historical levels in certain regions of the United States, an ongoing rise in interest rates may slow the housing recovery. Conversely, rising interest rates and resulting slowing down of refinance activity levels improves the persistency levels of our insured portfolio as fewer loans pay off and corresponding mortgage insurance coverage remains in force. The positive effect on home prices caused by recent investor purchases of existing housing may also abate, further slowing housing recovery momentum. Meanwhile, we continue to manage the quality of new business through prudent underwriting guidelines, which we modify from time to time when circumstances warrant in a manner we expect will limit the amount of coverage we write on riskier loans. In October 2013, and in addition to the pricing and guideline changes that we announced in September 2013, we announced further reduced pricing and expanded underwriting guidelines that are more in line with industry prices and guideline standards, which we believe over time will increase our competitiveness in the mortgage insurance market while maintaining what we believe will be a profitable book of business. As of March 31, 2014, loans modified through the Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”), accounted for approximately $0.6 billion of insurance in the first quarter of 2014, and are treated as a modification of the coverage on existing insurance in-force rather than new insurance written. Loans modified through HARP have extended amortization periods and reduced interest rates, which reduce borrower’s monthly payments. Over time, these modified loans are expected to result in extended premium streams and a lower incidence of default.

In June 2013, the Federal Housing Finance Agency announced strategic priorities for the GSEs and indicated that there could be changes to the MI Eligibility Standards. We expect these changes could increase capital or asset requirements for mortgage insurers, including our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries. Currently, we understand that these new eligibility standards are under review by certain state regulatory insurance commissioners. While we have no clarity with respect to when these new eligibility standards will be effective and implemented, we do expect that these new standards may be released to the mortgage guaranty industry for review during 2014. The NAIC is also reviewing the current Mortgage Guaranty Model Act, including minimum capital and surplus requirements for mortgage insurers through the Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Working Group (the “MGIWG”). The MGIWG has not established a date by which it must make proposals to change such requirements. However, as we learn more specific information about these activities, we continue to assess the potential impact, if any, that these new standards and requirements may have on our U.S. mortgage insurance business and evaluate the options potentially available to meet these new GSE requirements and any legislative or regulatory measures adopted as a result of the NAIC recommendations.

Effective July 2013, Fannie Mae no longer purchases loans with down payments of less than 5% (subject to certain limited exceptions). Freddie Mac has had a similar policy in place since June 2011. We believe this will limit the demand for private mortgage insurance on loans with down payments below 5%. In addition, FHFA issued for comment a proposal to reduce GSE loan limits. Comments on that proposal were due in March 2014 and the FHFA has not yet issued a final determination. If implemented, these actions could also limit demand for

mortgage loans with private mortgage insurance coverage. In August 2013, U.S. federal regulators issued a notice of revised proposed rules to implement the credit risk retention provision under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The revised rules propose to define “qualified residential mortgages” to include low-down-payment mortgage loans, which is consistent with the definition of “qualified mortgages” that is already adopted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”). If finalized, this rule would have the effect of including many low-down-payment mortgage loans within the definition of qualified residential mortgage, which could increase the demand for mortgage loans with private mortgage insurance coverage. We also continue to believe that the mortgage insurance industry level of market penetration and eventual market size will continue to be affected by any actions taken by the GSEs, the FHA or the U.S. government impacting housing or housing finance policy, underwriting standards, loan limits or related reforms.

While we continue to experience an ongoing decrease in the level of new delinquencies, the performance of our portfolio continues to be adversely affected by our 2005 through 2008 book years, although we believe these loans peaked in their delinquency development during the first quarter of 2010. While this amount has declined from prior years, delinquencies for these book years continue as the principal source of new delinquencies reported to us. Beginning in mid-2010, we saw an increase in foreclosure starts as well as an increase in our paid claims as late stage delinquency loans go through foreclosure. While foreclosure starts continue at a pace higher than foreclosure start levels in periods before mid-2010, we are seeing a decline in the number of foreclosure starts currently, which we believe is in part a result of the implementation of a new CFPB mortgage servicing rule (the “CFPB Rule”) that requires lenders and servicers to defer foreclosure starts until a borrower is at least 120-days delinquent to permit possible loan modification or workout solutions. We believe the deferral of the foreclosure start date, coupled with the CFPB Rule’s early intervention provisions that require a lender or servicer to utilize good faith efforts to establish live contact with delinquent borrowers and provide written notice of available loss mitigation options, may result in additional loan workout or modification solutions that would ultimately reduce the number of foreclosure actions from these early stage delinquencies. This decrease in the number of foreclosure starts, along with the declining rate at which foreclosures are initiated, were consistent with the current lower level of early stage or pre-foreclosure delinquencies within our delinquency inventory. In addition, we saw differences in performance among loan servicers regarding the ability to modify loans and avoid foreclosure. Moreover, a lengthening of the foreclosure process itself particularly in judicial foreclosure states has led to increased claims expense relative to foreclosures conducted in the pre-financial crisis environment. Depending on how experience evolves, we may need to adjust our reserve frequency or severity assumptions which could either increase or decrease reserves over time as experience from these programs emerges.

Expanded efforts in the mortgage servicing market to modify loans and improved performance of our 2009 through 2013 book years compared with the performance of prior book years, coupled with the diminished impact of our 2005 through 2008 book years as those loans are resolved, resulted in continued reductions in overall delinquency levels through 2013 and through the three months ended March 31, 2014. As the aging of delinquencies continued to increase through the three months ended March 31, 2014, loan modification efforts have continued to remain more difficult to complete. Both foreclosures and liquidations remained elevated through the same period, thereby resulting in ongoing elevated levels of loss reserves and claims. We believe that the ability to cure delinquent loans is dependent upon such things as employment levels, home values and mortgage interest rates. In addition, while we continue to execute on our loan modification strategy, which cures the underlying delinquencies and improves the ability of borrowers to meet the debt service on the mortgage loans going forward, we have seen the level of ongoing loan modification actions moderating during 2011 through the first quarter of 2014 compared with the levels we experienced during preceding periods. We expect our level of loan modifications to continue to decline going forward in line with the expected reduction in delinquent loans. However, we further expect the rate at which we modify delinquent loans to remain steady as new programs take effect and the overall economy continues improving over time.

Our loss mitigation activities, including those relating to workouts, loan modifications, pre-sales, rescissions, claims administration (including curtailment of claim amounts) and targeted settlements, net of

reinstatements or adjustments, resulted in an estimated reduction of expected losses of $114 million and $159 million, respectively, including $83 million and $85 million, respectively, from workouts and loan modifications during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Since 2010, benefits from loss mitigation activities have shifted from rescissions to loan modification activities and reviews of loan servicing and claims administration compliance from which we expect a majority of our loss mitigation benefits to arise going forward. While we expect to continue evaluating compliance of the insured or its loan servicer with respect to its servicing obligations under our master policy for loans insured thereunder and may curtail claim amounts payable based on our evaluations of such compliance, we cannot give assurance on the extent or level at which such claim curtailments will continue. Although loan servicers continue to pursue a wide range of approaches to execute appropriate loan modifications, government-sponsored programs such as Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) continue to result in fewer modifications as alternative programs have gained momentum. With lower benefits from government-sponsored programs and the impact from alternative programs to date, we have experienced higher levels of loss reserves and/or paid claims. Recently, the Obama Administration announced that it would extend HAMP through December 31, 2015, and expand borrower eligibility by adjusting certain underwriting requirements. In addition, incentives paid to the owner of a loan that qualifies for principal reduction under HAMP are being increased and, for the first time, will be offered to the GSEs. However, to date, the GSEs are not participating in this program. While the impact of the these program extensions to date has remained positive, there can be no assurance that the increase in the number of loans that are modified under HAMP, including mortgage loans we insure currently, is sustainable over time or that any such modifications will succeed in avoiding foreclosure. In addition, while borrowers who benefitted from loan modifications under HAMP were provided mortgage payment relief through substantial interest rate reductions, beginning in the third quarter of 2014, those same borrowers will begin to experience a gradual interest rate increase of up to 1% a year until their mortgage interest rate adjusts to the market rate at the time of their loan modification. These interest rate resets are in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed to at the time of the underlying HAMP loan modification. While the government and the mortgage services industry remain committed to working with borrowers under this program, we cannot predict how these HAMP interest rate resets will affect the successes achieved under this program or if the resulting effect of avoiding foreclosure is sustainable over time once the impact of the rate reset process evolves. Depending upon the mix of loss mitigation activity, market trends, employment levels in future periods and other general economic impacts which influence the U.S. residential housing market, we could see additional adverse loss reserve development going forward. We expect the primary source of new reserves and losses to come from new delinquencies.

We have lender captive reinsurance programs in place in which we share portions of our premiums associated with flow insurance written on loans originated or purchased by lenders with captive insurance entities of these lenders in exchange for an agreed upon level of loss coverage above a specified attachment point. We have exhausted certain captive reinsurance tiers for our 2004 through 2008 book years based on loss development trends. While we continue to receive cash benefits from these captive arrangements at the time of claim payment, the level of benefit is expected to continue to decline going forward due to exhaustion of reinsurance as more reinsurers satisfy their contractual obligations such that remaining risk is borne by Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation (“GEMICO”), our primary U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiary. All of our captive reinsurance arrangements are in runoff with no new books of business being added going forward. However, while we have no plans currently to expand our lender captive reinsurance program, we will continue to consider appropriate new third-party reinsurance arrangements.

As of March 31, 2014, GEMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio was below the maximum risk-to-capital ratio of 25:1 established under North Carolina law and enforced by the North Carolina Department of Insurance (“NCDOI”), which is GEMICO’s domestic insurance regulator. Fifteen other states maintain similar risk-to-capital requirements. As of March 31, 2014, GEMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio was approximately 18.4:1, compared with a risk-to-capital ratio of approximately 19.3:1 as of December 31, 2013. GEMICO’s ongoing risk-to-capital ratio will depend principally on the magnitude of future losses incurred by GEMICO, the effectiveness of ongoing loss mitigation activities, new business volume and profitability, as well as the amount

of policy lapses and the amount of additional capital that is generated within the business or capital support (if any) that we provide. Our estimate of the amount and timing of future losses is inherently uncertain, requires significant judgment and may change significantly over time. We expect to continue to manage GEMICO’s risk-to-capital ratio to be below the maximum regulatory requirement.

As previously disclosed, Genworth Financial contributed $300 million of cash to our U.S. mortgage holding company in the fourth quarter of 2013. We anticipate the $300 million currently held by our U.S. mortgage holding company will be further contributed to GEMICO, to the extent needed, for the benefit of its capital position after the changes to the asset and capital requirements in the revised GSE MI Eligibility Standards are finalized. We will also evaluate the overall performance of our U.S. mortgage insurance business and conditions existing in the U.S. mortgage insurance industry at the time we decide to make the contribution. If the $300 million had been contributed to GEMICO, its risk-to-capital ratio as of March 31, 2014 would have been lower by approximately four points under the current risk-to-capital framework. In addition to the available funds held at the U.S. mortgage holding company, we have various potential alternatives available to us to manage GEMICO’s future capital position, including organic earnings growth; utilization of a portion of available deferred tax assets; reinsurance transactions; use of proceeds from the planned Australian IPO; issuance of convertible or exchangeable securities at the Genworth Financial and/or the Genworth Holdings levels; and other options that may be available. While there is no assurance that our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries would meet any revised GSE capital-related requirements by their effective date, we currently believe that we could implement one or more of these alternatives so that we would continue to be an eligible provider of mortgage insurance after any new GSE capital-related requirements would be in effect.

While it is our expectation that our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries will continue to meet their regulatory capital requirements, should GEMICO in the future exceed required risk-to-capital levels, we would pursue required regulatory and GSE forbearance and approvals or pursue approval for the utilization of alternative insurance vehicles. However, there can be no assurance if, and on what terms, such forbearance and approvals may be obtained.

International Protection

Growth and performance of our lifestyle protection insurance business is dependent in part on economic conditions and other factors, including competitor actions, consumer lending and spending levels, unemployment trends, client account penetration and mortality and morbidity trends. Additionally, the types and mix of our products will vary based on regulatory and consumer acceptance of our products.

Consumer lending levels in Europe remain challenged particularly given concerns regarding various European economies and the lingering effect of the European debt crisis. Unemployment rates in the first quarter of 2014 remained at levels experienced in the fourth quarter of 2013 with regional variation; however, in aggregate, European gross domestic product continued to grow in the first quarter of 2014, building on the growth in the second half of 2013 and reversing the negative trend experienced in the first half of 2013.

Net operating income of our lifestyle protection insurance business in the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased slightly from the three months ended March 31, 2013 as favorable taxes and higher premiums were partially offset by higher losses and lower net investment income. New claim registrations decreased 17% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 2013 levels. We could experience higher losses if claim registrations increase, particularly with continued high unemployment in Europe. Our loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 26% compared to 24% for three months ended March 31, 2013 as premiums and losses increased.

In Southern Europe, stressed economies have resulted in a decline in consumer lending where most of our insurance coverages attach as banks tightened lending criteria and consumer demand declined, while in Northern Europe consumer lending levels have stabilized. We have strengthened our focus in Europe on key strategic client relationships and are de-emphasizing our distribution with some other distributors where we are not expecting to achieve desired sales and profitability levels. This focus should enable us to better serve our strategic clients and promote improved profitability and a lower cost structure over time. Additionally, we continue to pursue expanding our geographical distribution into Latin America and China and have secured agreements with large insurance partners in both of these regions. We are currently working with these partners to establish product, distribution and servicing capabilities and are now actively selling products in Peru, Colombia and Mexico.

Assuming the economies and lending environment in Europe are stable and do not improve in the near term, we expect our lifestyle protection insurance business to produce only slightly positive earnings in 2014. With our focus on enhanced distribution capabilities in Europe and growth in select new markets, we anticipate these efforts, coupled with sound risk and cost management disciplines, should, over time, improve profitability and help offset the impact of economic or employment pressures as well as lower levels of consumer lending in Europe. However, depending on the economic situation in Europe, we could experience declines in sales and operating results.

Distributor conduct associated with the sale of payment protection insurance products is currently under regulatory scrutiny in Ireland and Italy. While the outcome of these reviews is unknown at this time and our distributors are not Genworth employees, the outcome could impact how the product is distributed and could have a negative impact on our sales.

Runoff

Results of our Runoff segment are affected by investment performance, interest rate levels, net interest spreads, equity market conditions, mortality, policyholder loan activity, policyholder surrenders and scheduled maturities. In addition, the results of our Runoff segment can significantly impact our operating performance, regulatory capital requirements, distributable earnings and liquidity.

In January 2011, we discontinued sales of our individual and group variable annuities; however, we continue to service our existing block of business and accept additional deposits on existing contracts. Since then, equity market volatility has caused fluctuations in the results of our variable annuity products and regulatory capital requirements. In the future, equity and interest rate market performance and volatility could result in additional gains or losses in our variable annuity products although associated hedging activities are expected to partially mitigate these impacts. Volatility in the results of our variable annuity products can result in favorable or unfavorable impacts on earnings and statutory capital. In addition to the use of hedging activities to help mitigate impacts related to equity market volatility and interest rate risks, in the future, we may pursue reinsurance opportunities to further mitigate volatility in results and manage capital.

The results of our institutional products are impacted by scheduled maturities, as well as liquidity levels. However, we believe our liquidity planning and our asset-liability management will mitigate this risk. While we do not actively sell institutional products, we may periodically issue funding agreements for asset-liability matching purposes.

We expect to manage our runoff products for at least the next several years. Several factors may impact the time period for these products to runoff including the specific policy types, economic conditions and management strategies.

Premiums. Premiums consist primarily of premiums earned on insurance products for life, long-term care and accident and health insurance, single premium immediate annuities and structured settlements with life contingencies, lifestyle protection insurance and mortgage insurance.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment increased $52 million primarily attributable to our long-term care insurance business largely related to $22 million of increased premiums from in-force rate actions, $16 million of unfavorable adjustments in the prior year that did not recur and growth of our in-force block from new sales in the current year.

 

    Our International Protection segment increased $10 million, including an increase of $3 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily due to higher volume driven by growth in France from a new client in the current year and a favorable adjustment of $4 million related to German premium taxes, partially offset by lower premiums from our runoff clients.

 

    Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment increased $3 million mainly attributable to higher average flow insurance in-force and lower ceded premiums in the current year.

Table of Contents
    Our International Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $19 million, including a decrease of $27 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. In Australia, premiums decreased $4 million, including a decrease of $16 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, premiums increased in Australia primarily as a result of the seasoning of our in-force blocks of business as larger, newer books reach their peak earnings period and higher premiums resulting from policy cancellations, partially offset by higher ceded reinsurance premiums in the current year. This increase was partially offset by $14 million of lower premiums in Canada primarily driven by the seasoning of our larger 2007 and 2008 in-force blocks of business, which are past their peak earnings period.

Net investment income. Net investment income represents the income earned on our investments. Annualized weighted-average investment yields were 4.6% and 4.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Annualized weighted-average investment yields decreased primarily attributable to lower reinvestment yields, partially offset by $9 million of higher gains related to limited partnerships in the current year. The three months ended March 31, 2014 included a decrease of $10 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net investment gains (losses). Net investment gains (losses) consist primarily of realized gains and losses from the sale or impairment of our investments and unrealized and realized gains and losses from our trading securities and derivative instruments. For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

 

    We recorded $1 million of net other-than-temporary impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $12 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded $1 million of impairments related to commercial mortgage loans. Of total impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2013, $6 million related to structured securities, including $3 million related to sub-prime and Alt-A residential mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Impairments related to corporate securities as a result of bankruptcies, receivership or concerns about the issuer’s ability to continue to make contractual payments or where we have intent to sell were $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

    Net investment losses related to derivatives of $21 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were primarily associated with guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (“GMWB”) losses, including decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from equity market fluctuation, which were partially offset by non-derivative investment gains on trading securities. In addition, there were losses related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with assets held and expected dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries, as well as losses related to a non-qualified derivative strategy to mitigate interest rate risk with our statutory capital positions. These losses were partially offset by gains related to hedge ineffectiveness from our cash flow hedge programs for our long-term care insurance business due to a decrease in long-term interest rates. Net investment losses related to derivatives of $42 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were primarily attributable to GMWB losses due to decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from declines in the Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (“S&P”) index and policyholder funds underperforming underlying variable annuity funds as compared to market indices.

 

    Net losses related to the sale of available-for-sale securities decreased $10 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. We also recorded $2 million of higher net gains related to trading securities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Insurance and investment product fees and other. Insurance and investment product fees and other consist primarily of fees assessed against policyholder and contractholder account values, surrender charges, cost of

Table of Contents

insurance assessed on universal and term universal life insurance policies, advisory and administration service fees assessed on investment contractholder account values, broker/dealer commission revenues and other fees.

 

    Corporate and Other activities decreased $43 million attributable to the sale of our reverse mortgage business on April 1, 2013.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment decreased $17 million predominately from our life insurance business related to unfavorable mortality and a decrease in our universal life insurance in-force block in the current year.

 

    Our International Mortgage Insurance segment increased $2 million from non-functional currency transactions attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year related to a reinsurance transaction in Canada.

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves. Benefits and other changes in policy reserves consist primarily of benefits paid and reserve activity related to current claims and future policy benefits on insurance and investment products for life, long-term care and accident and health insurance, structured settlements and single premium immediate annuities with life contingencies, lifestyle protection insurance and claim costs incurred related to mortgage insurance products.

 

    Our International Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $53 million, including a decrease of $5 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. In Australia, losses decreased $31 million primarily driven by improved aging of our existing delinquencies and lower new delinquencies, net of cures, in the current year. Paid claims also decreased in the current year as a result of a decrease in both the number of claims and the average claim payment. In Canada, losses decreased $18 million primarily driven by lower losses incurred as a result of improved performance of our newer in-force blocks of business in the current year and lower severity of claims due to a higher proportion of delinquencies in provinces where severity has been lower and home price appreciation. Other Countries decreased $4 million primarily from lower delinquencies, net of cures, and improved aging on our existing delinquencies in the current year.

 

    Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $21 million primarily driven by fewer new delinquencies and improvements in net cures and aging on existing delinquencies, partially offset by a net reserve strengthening of $17 million in the current year. In the first quarter of 2014, we strengthened reserves to reflect the expectation in future periods of increased claim severity primarily for late-stage delinquencies, partially offset by lower claim rates for early-stage delinquencies. However, overall delinquencies continued to decline from factors such as increased cure rates resulting from improvements in the overall housing market, fewer new delinquencies and ongoing loss mitigation efforts. Reserves for prior year delinquencies benefitted $11 million during the current year from improvements in net cures and aging.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment increased $56 million. Our long-term care insurance business increased $36 million primarily from the aging and growth of our in-force block, $25 million of favorable adjustments in the prior year that did not recur, lower claim terminations and higher reserves related to certain policies with survivorship benefits in the current year. These increases were partially offset by reduced benefits of $42 million from in-force rate actions in the current year. In addition, reserves for prior year claims increased $8 million mainly from a decrease in claim terminations in the current year. Our life insurance business increased $17 million primarily related to higher mortality experience resulting in an increase in frequency in our term life insurance products and higher severity of claims in our term universal and universal life insurance products in the current year. Our term life insurance mortality, while still favorable to pricing, was unfavorable to the prior year. Mortality in our term universal and universal life insurance products was unfavorable to pricing and to the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the growth of our term universal life insurance reserves as we no longer offer this product. Our fixed annuities business increased $3 million largely attributable to unfavorable mortality in the current year.

Table of Contents
    Our International Protection segment increased $7 million, including an increase of $1 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily driven by higher reserves in France from a new client in the current year, partially offset by a decline in new claim registrations in the current year.

 

    Our Runoff segment increased $4 million primarily attributable to an increase in our guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”) reserves in our variable annuity products due to less favorable equity market performance in the current year.

Interest credited. Interest credited represents interest credited on behalf of policyholder and contractholder general account balances.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals. Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, represent costs and expenses related to the acquisition and ongoing maintenance of insurance and investment contracts, including commissions, policy issuance expenses and other underwriting and general operating costs. These costs and expenses are net of amounts that are capitalized and deferred, which are costs and expenses that are related directly to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance policies and investment contracts, such as first-year commissions in excess of ultimate renewal commissions and other policy issuance expenses.

 

    Corporate and Other activities decreased $43 million primarily attributable to $46 million as a result of the sale of our reverse mortgage business on April 1, 2013, partially offset by higher net expenses after allocations to our operating segments in the current year.

 

    Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment decreased $6 million decreased primarily from a settlement of approximately $4 million with the CFPB to end its review of industry captive reinsurance arrangements in the prior year that did not recur.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles. Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles consists primarily of the amortization of acquisition costs that are capitalized, present value of future profits and capitalized software.

 

    Our Runoff segment increased $24 million related to our variable annuity products mostly from lower net investment losses and less favorable equity performance in the current year.

 

    Our U.S. Life Insurance segment decreased $12 million principally related to our life insurance business mostly attributable to unfavorable mortality in our universal life insurance products in the current year.

Interest expense. Interest expense represents interest related to our borrowings that are incurred at Genworth Holdings or subsidiaries and our non-recourse funding obligations and interest expense related to the Tax Matters Agreement and certain reinsurance arrangements being accounted for as deposits.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to 28.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 32.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to favorable tax adjustments of $15 million recorded in the current year, including changes in valuation allowances, and tax favored investments. These decreases were partially offset by the tax effects of stock-based compensation expense and lower taxed foreign income in the current year. The three months ended March 31, 2014 included a decrease of $6 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the portion of income in a subsidiary attributable to third parties.

Net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders. We had higher net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders primarily related to lower losses in our international mortgage and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses from lower new delinquencies. The increase was also attributable to lower net investment losses, higher tax benefits and $40 million of increased premiums and reduced benefits from in-force rate actions in our long-term care insurance business in the current year. The prior year also included $20 million of a loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, related to the sale of our wealth management business that was sold in August 2013. These increases were partially offset by overall lower net investment income and higher mortality in our life insurance business in the current year. For a discussion of each of our segments and Corporate and Other activities, see the “—Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment.” Included in net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was a decrease of $16 million, net of taxes, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Reconciliation of net income to net operating income

Net operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $194 million and $151 million, respectively. We define net operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on insurance block transactions and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. Gains (losses) on insurance block transactions are defined as gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of non-recourse funding obligations, early termination fees for other financing restructuring and/or resulting gains (losses) on reinsurance restructuring for certain blocks of business. We exclude net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of our net investment gains (losses) is the result of impairments, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to our discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Goodwill impairments and gains (losses) on the sale of businesses, the early extinguishment of debt and insurance block transactions are also excluded from net operating income (loss) because, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. Other non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income (loss) if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we revised our definition of net operating income (loss) to exclude gains (losses) on the early extinguishment of debt and gains (losses) on insurance block transactions to better reflect the basis on which the performance of our business is internally assessed and to reflect management’s opinion that they are not indicative of overall operating trends. All prior periods have been re-presented to reflect this new definition.

While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that net operating income (loss), and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income (loss), are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Management also uses net operating income (loss) as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. However, the items excluded from net operating income (loss) have occurred in the past and could, and in some cases will, recur in the future. Net operating income (loss) is not a substitute for net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of net operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment

Our chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of net operating income (loss). See note 9 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a reconciliation of net operating income (loss) of our segments and Corporate and Other activities to net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders.

Table of Contents

Management’s discussion and analysis by segment contains selected operating performance measures including “sales” and “insurance in-force” or “risk in-force” which are commonly used in the insurance industry as measures of operating performance.

Management regularly monitors and reports sales metrics as a measure of volume of new and renewal business generated in a period. Sales refer to: (1) annualized first-year premiums for term life and long-term care insurance products; (2) annualized first-year deposits plus 5% of excess deposits for universal and term universal life insurance products; (3) 10% of premium deposits for linked-benefits products; (4) new and additional premiums/deposits for fixed annuities; (5) new insurance written for mortgage insurance; and (6) net premiums written for our lifestyle protection insurance business. Sales do not include renewal premiums on policies or contracts written during prior periods. We consider annualized first-year premiums/deposits, premium equivalents, new premiums/deposits, new insurance written and net premiums written to be a measure of our operating performance because they represent a measure of new sales of insurance policies or contracts during a specified period, rather than a measure of our revenues or profitability during that period.

Management regularly monitors and reports insurance in-force and risk in-force. Insurance in-force for our life, international mortgage and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses is a measure of the aggregate face value of outstanding insurance policies as of the respective reporting date. For risk in-force in our international mortgage insurance business, we have computed an “effective” risk in-force amount, which recognizes that the loss on any particular loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the property. Effective risk in-force has been calculated by applying to insurance in-force a factor of 35% that represents our highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of our businesses in Canada and Australia. Risk in-force for our U.S. mortgage insurance business is our obligation that is limited under contractual terms to the amounts less than 100% of the mortgage loan value. We consider insurance in-force and risk in-force to be measures of our operating performance because they represent measures of the size of our business at a specific date which will generate revenues and profits in a future period, rather than measures of our revenues or profitability during that period.

We also include information related to loss mitigation activities for our U.S. mortgage insurance business. We define loss mitigation activities as rescissions, cancellations, borrower loan modifications, repayment plans, lender- and borrower-titled pre-sales, claims administration and other loan workouts. Estimated savings related to rescissions are the reduction in carried loss reserves, net of premium refunds and reinstatement of prior rescissions. Estimated savings related to loan modifications and other cure-related loss mitigation actions represent the reduction in carried loss reserves. Estimated savings related to claims mitigation activities represent amounts deducted or “curtailed” from claims due to acts or omissions by the insured or the servicer with respect to the servicing of an insured loan that is not in compliance with obligations under our master policy. For non-cure related actions, including pre-sales, the estimated savings represent the difference between the full claim obligation and the actual amount paid. Loans subject to our loss mitigation actions, the results of which have been included in our reported estimated loss mitigation savings, are subject to re-default and may result in a potential claim in future periods, as well as potential future loss mitigation savings depending on the resolution of the re-defaulted loan. We believe that this information helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of our U.S. mortgage insurance business as loss mitigation activities specifically impact current and future loss reserves and level of claim payments.

Management also regularly monitors and reports a loss ratio for our businesses. For our long-term care insurance business, the loss ratio is the ratio of benefits and other changes in reserves less tabular interest on reserves less loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. For our mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance businesses, the loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. We consider the loss ratio to be a measure of underwriting performance in these businesses and helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of our businesses.

An assumed tax rate of 35% is utilized in certain adjustments to net operating income and in the explanation of specific variances of operating performance.

Table of Contents
    Our long-term care insurance business increased $26 million largely attributable to $40 million of increased premiums and reduced benefits from in-force rate actions and a $5 million favorable correction to investment amortization for preferred stock in the current year. These increases were partially offset by lower claim terminations, $6 million of net favorable adjustments in the prior year that did not recur and higher reserves related to certain policies with survivorship benefits in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $2 million primarily related to unfavorable mortality in the current year.

Revenues

Premiums. The increase was attributable to our long-term care insurance business largely related to $22 million of increased premiums from in-force rate actions, $16 million of unfavorable adjustments in the prior year that did not recur and growth of our in-force block from new sales in the current year.

Net investment income

 

    Our life insurance business decreased $3 million primarily due to lower bond calls and mortgage loan prepayments in the current year.

 

    Our long-term care insurance business increased $26 million largely from an increase in average invested assets due to growth of our in-force block and an $8 million favorable correction to investment amortization for preferred stock in the current year. Net investment income also included $5 million of higher gains from limited partnerships in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business decreased $1 million as lower reinvestment yields were mostly offset by $4 million of higher gains from limited partnerships and $2 million of higher bond calls and mortgage loan prepayments in the current year.

Net investment gains (losses). For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

 

    In the current year, net investment gains of $1 million in our life insurance business were primarily related to net gains from the sale of investment securities. Net investment losses of $4 million in the prior year were mainly from net losses from the sale of investment securities and impairments.

 

    In the current year, derivative gains in our long-term care insurance business were offset by net investment losses from the sale of investment securities. In the prior year, net investment losses of $3 million were largely related to impairments.

 

    In the current year, net investment gains of $2 million in our fixed annuities business were principally related to derivative gains, partially offset by impairments and net losses from the sale of investment securities. Net investment losses of $5 million in the prior year were primarily related to impairments and net losses from the sale of investment securities, partially offset by derivative gains.

Insurance and investment product fees and other. The decrease was primarily attributable to our life insurance business largely related to unfavorable mortality and a decrease in our universal life insurance in-force block in the current year.

mortality, while still favorable to pricing, was unfavorable to the prior year. Mortality in our term universal and universal life insurance products was unfavorable to pricing and to the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the growth of our term universal life insurance reserves as we no longer offer this product.

 

    Our long-term care insurance business increased $36 million primarily from the aging and growth of our in-force block, $25 million of favorable adjustments in the prior year that did not recur, lower claim terminations and higher reserves related to certain policies with survivorship benefits in the current year. These increases were partially offset by reduced benefits of $42 million from in-force rate actions in the current year. In addition, reserves for prior year claims increased $8 million mainly from a decrease in claim terminations in the current year.

 

    Our fixed annuities business increased $3 million largely attributable to unfavorable mortality in the current year.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles. The decrease in amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles was primarily related to our life insurance business mostly attributable to unfavorable mortality in our universal life insurance products in the current year.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 37.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 36.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to higher state taxes in the current year.

Term and whole life insurance

Net earned premiums increased primarily related to higher sales of our term life insurance product in the current year. Sales of our term life insurance product have increased in the current year from modified pricing and improved service platforms. Our life insurance in-force, net of reinsurance, increased primarily from sales growth of our term life insurance products and lower ceded reinsurance in the current year. Our life insurance in-force before reinsurance decreased from the runoff of our term life insurance products issued prior to resuming sales of these products and the runoff of our whole life insurance products.

Term universal life insurance

We no longer solicit sales of term universal life insurance products; however, we continue to service our existing block of business.

Loss ratio (1)

(1)  In the second quarter of 2013, we revised our methodology for calculating tabular interest to a policy level calculation, which impacted the reported loss ratio. The change in the calculation for tabular interest had no impact on reserves, benefits or net operating income as it reflected a reclassification between components of the total change in policy reserves. Tabular interest is one of several components that make up the total change in policy reserves. The loss ratio for the prior period has been adjusted lower by three points to approximate the new calculation for tabular interest to make the prior period more comparable with the current calculation.

The loss ratio is the ratio of benefits and other changes in reserves less tabular interest on reserves less loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums.

Net earned premiums increased mainly attributable to $22 million of increased premiums from in-force rate actions, $16 million of unfavorable adjustments in the prior year that did not recur and growth of our in-force block from new sales in the current year.

Annualized first-year premiums and deposits decreased principally from changes in pricing and product options previously announced.

The loss ratio decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the prior year largely from $64 million of increased premiums and reduced benefits from in-force rate actions in the current year. This decrease was partially offset by $9 million of favorable adjustments in the prior year that did not recur, lower claim terminations and higher reserves related to certain policies with survivorship benefits in the current year.

Table of Contents

Net operating income

 

    The three months ended March 31, 2014 included decreases of $4 million and $12 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in Canada and Australia, respectively.

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased primarily attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, net operating income increased primarily from lower losses in the current year.

 

    Our Australian mortgage insurance business increased primarily from lower losses, partially offset by higher tax expense and a decrease attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year.

 

    Other Countries’ net operating loss decreased mainly from lower losses in the current year.

Revenues

Premiums

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $14 million, including a decrease of $11 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily driven by the seasoning of our larger 2007 and 2008 in-force blocks of business, which are past their peak earnings period.

 

    Our Australian mortgage insurance business decreased $4 million, including a decrease of $16 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, premiums increased primarily as a result of the seasoning of our in-force block of business as larger, newer books reach their peak earnings period and higher premiums resulting from policy cancellations, partially offset by higher ceded reinsurance premiums in the current year.

Net investment income. The decrease in net investment income was primarily due to lower reinvestment yields in Australia. The three months ended March 31, 2014 included a decrease of $10 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net investment gains (losses). For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.” The decrease was primarily from lower net investment gains related to sales of securities in the current year and derivative losses primarily from hedging non-functional currency transactions related to a reinsurance transaction in Canada.

Insurance and investment product fees and other. The increase was due to non-functional currency transactions attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year related to a reinsurance transaction in Canada.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

 

    Our Canadian mortgage insurance business decreased $18 million, including a decrease of $2 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily driven by lower losses incurred as a result of improved performance of our newer in-force blocks of business in the current year and lower severity of claims due to a higher proportion of delinquencies in provinces where severity has been lower and home price appreciation.

 

    Our Australian mortgage insurance business decreased $31 million, including a decrease of $3 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily driven by improved aging of our existing delinquencies and lower new delinquencies, net of cures, in the current year. Paid claims also decreased in the current year as a result of a decrease in both the number of claims and the average claim payment.

 

    Other Countries decreased $4 million primarily from lower new delinquencies, net of cures, and improved aging on our existing delinquencies in the current year.

Table of Contents

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals. Our Australian mortgage insurance business decreased $5 million, including a decrease of $3 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily associated with lower operating expenses related to contract fees, partially offset by higher employee compensation and benefit expenses in the current year.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 29.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 28.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to decreased tax benefits from lower taxed foreign income. The three months ended March 31, 2014 included a decrease of $6 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force

Our businesses in Australia and Canada currently provide 100% coverage on the majority of the loans we insure in those markets. For the purpose of representing our risk in-force, we have computed an “effective” risk in-force amount, which recognizes that the loss on any particular loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the property. Effective risk in-force has been calculated by applying to insurance in-force a factor that represents our highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of our businesses in Australia and Canada. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, this factor was 35%.

 

98


Table of Contents

In Canada, primary insurance in-force and risk in-force included decreases of $25.0 billion and $8.8 billion, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. The increase in Canada was primarily as a result of a flow new insurance written and bulk transactions in the current year.

In Australia, primary insurance in-force and risk in-force included decreases of $34.6 billion and $12.1 billion, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, primary insurance in-force and risk in-force increased mainly attributable to increased flow new insurance written.

In Other Countries, primary insurance in-force and risk in-force included increases of $1.5 billion and $200 million, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, respectively. The decrease in Other Countries was mainly attributable to lender settlements, primarily in Ireland, in the fourth quarter of 2013.

New insurance written

New insurance written in Canada increased primarily as a result of higher bulk transactions in the current year, partially offset by lower flow new insurance written due to a smaller market that was influenced by the severe and prolonged winter season resulting in lower loan originations in the current year. The current year included a decrease of $600 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in Canada.

The decline in new insurance written in Australia was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.3 billion attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, new insurance written in Australia increased primarily from higher housing market activity as interest rates remained low in the current year.

Net premiums written

Most of our international mortgage insurance policies provide for single premiums at the time that loan proceeds are advanced. We initially record the single premiums to unearned premium reserves and recognize the premiums earned over time in accordance with the expected pattern of risk emergence. As of March 31, 2014, our unearned premium reserves were $2,772 million, including a decrease of $200 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, compared to $2,961 million as of March 31, 2013.

Net premiums written in Australia increased primarily from higher flow average price and volume. The current year included a decrease of $21 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in Australia.

In Canada, net premiums written decreased driven by a decrease of $7 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, net premiums written in Canada were flat as higher premiums from bulk transactions were offset by lower flow volumes in the current year.

Other Countries

     142     174     (32 )% 

Total

     30     34     (4 )% 

The loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The expense ratio is the ratio of general expenses to net premiums written. In our business, general expenses consist of acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, and amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles.

In Other Countries, the decrease in the loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily as a result of lower new delinquencies, net of cures, and improved aging on existing delinquencies in the current year. In Australia, the loss ratio decreased primarily attributable to lower losses from improved aging of our existing delinquencies and lower new delinquencies, net of cures, in the current year. Paid claims also decreased in the current year as a result of a decrease in both the number of claims and the average claim payment. The loss ratio in Canada decreased primarily from lower losses incurred as a result of improved performance of our newer in-force blocks of business in the current year and lower severity of claims due to a higher proportion of delinquencies in provinces where severity has been lower and home price appreciation.

The decrease in the expense ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to an increase in net premiums written in both Australia and Other Countries in the current year. In Australia, the expense ratio also decreased from lower operating expenses related to contract fees, partially offset by higher employee compensation and benefit expenses in the current year. In Canada, the expense ratio increased primarily from lower net premiums written in the current year.

In Canada, flow loans in-force increased from new policies written and flow delinquent loans increased compared to December 31, 2013 as new delinquencies more than offset paid claims and cures in the current year. Bulk loans in-force increased from higher bulk transactions in the current year.

In Australia, flow loans in-force increased as a result of new policies written, partially offset by policy cancellations in the current year. Flow delinquent loans increased compared to December 31, 2013 as new delinquencies more than offset paid claims and cures.

In Other Countries, flow delinquent loans increased compared to December 31, 2013 primarily from new delinquencies, net of paid claims and cures. Flow delinquent loans decreased compared to March 31, 2013 mainly from lender settlements in Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Net operating income

The increase in net operating income was mainly attributable to fewer new delinquencies and improvements in net cures and aging on existing delinquencies, partially offset by a net reserve strengthening of $11 million and unfavorable tax adjustments of $6 million recorded in the current year.

 

102


Table of Contents

Revenues

Premiums increased mainly attributable to higher average flow insurance in-force and lower ceded premiums in the current year.

Net investment income decreased primarily from lower reinvestment yields in the current year.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves decreased primarily driven by fewer new delinquencies and improvements in net cures and aging on existing delinquencies, partially offset by a net reserve strengthening of $17 million in the current year. In the first quarter of 2014, we strengthened reserves to reflect the expectation in future periods of increased claim severity primarily for late-stage delinquencies, partially offset by lower claim rates for early-stage delinquencies. However, overall delinquencies continued to decline from factors such as increased cure rates resulting from improvements in the overall housing market, fewer new delinquencies and ongoing loss mitigation efforts. Reserves for prior year delinquencies benefitted $11 million during the current year from improvements in net cures and aging.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, decreased primarily from a settlement of approximately $4 million with the CFPB to end its review of industry captive reinsurance arrangements in the prior year that did not recur.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 42.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 30.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to changes in tax favored investment benefits in relation to pre-tax income and changes in the state tax valuation allowance, partially offset by the loss of foreign credits and the non-deductibility of the CFPB settlement in the prior year.

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force

Primary insurance in-force decreased primarily as a result of a decline of $2.9 billion in bulk insurance in-force, which decreased from $7.1 billion as of March 31, 2013 to $4.2 billion as of March 31, 2014 from cancellations and lapses. The decrease in bulk insurance in-force was partially offset by the increase of $2.7 billion in flow insurance in-force, which increased from $102.2 billion as of March 31, 2013 to $104.9 billion as of March 31, 2014 as a result of new insurance written during 2013. In addition, risk in-force increased primarily as a result of higher flow insurance in-force, partially offset by the decline in bulk risk in-force. Flow persistency was 85% and 80% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Table of Contents

New insurance written

New insurance written decreased in the current year primarily driven by a decline in the mortgage insurance origination market. Mortgage refinance originations also remained low as a result of higher interest rates during the current year.

Net premiums written

Net premiums written increased due to lower ceded premiums in the current year.

Loss and expense ratios

The following table sets forth the loss and expense ratios for our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment for the dates indicated:

 

     Three months ended        
     March 31,     Increase (decrease)  
     2014     2013     2014 vs. 2013  

Loss ratio

     46     62     (16 )% 

Expense ratio

     24     30     (6 )% 

The loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The expense ratio is the ratio of general expenses to net premiums written. In our business, general expenses consist of acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, and amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles.

The decrease in the loss ratio was primarily attributable to fewer new delinquencies, as well as lower reserves on new delinquencies, and improved net cures and aging of existing delinquencies, partially offset by a net reserve strengthening of $17 million in the current year. In the first quarter of 2014, we strengthened reserves to reflect the expectation in future periods of increased claim severity primarily for late-stage delinquencies, partially offset by lower claim rates for early-stage delinquencies. However, overall delinquencies continued to decline from factors such as increased cure rates resulting from improvements in the overall housing market, fewer new delinquencies and ongoing loss mitigation efforts. Reserves for prior year delinquencies benefitted $11 million during the current year from improvements in net cures and aging.

The decrease in the expense ratio was primarily from a settlement with the CFPB to end its review of industry captive reinsurance arrangements in the prior year that did not recur.

Delinquency and foreclosure levels that developed principally in our 2005 through 2008 book years have declined as the United States continued to experience improvement in its residential real estate market. We also have seen a decline in new delinquencies and lower foreclosure starts in the current year.

Net operating income

Net operating income increased marginally as higher premiums driven by growth in Southern Europe and higher tax benefits were mostly offset by higher claim reserves and lower net investment income in the current year.

Revenues

Premiums increased primarily due to higher volume driven by growth in France from a new client in the current year and a favorable adjustment of $4 million related to German premium taxes, partially offset by lower premiums from our runoff clients. The three months ended March 31, 2014 included an increase of $3 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net investment income decreased mainly due to lower reinvestment yields in the current year.

Net investment gains decreased primarily attributable to higher gains from the sale of investments in the prior year.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves increased primarily driven by higher reserves in France from a new client in the current year, partially offset by a decline in new claim registrations in the current year. The three months ended March 31, 2014 included an increase of $1 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to (14.3)% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 28.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily attributable to a favorable tax correction recorded in the current year, partially offset by changes in foreign income.

The loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums.

Net premiums written increased due to growth in France from a new client in the current year, as well as in Italy, Germany and Norway and a favorable adjustment related to German premium taxes in the current year. The three months ended March 31, 2014 included an increase of $3 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The loss ratio increased driven mainly by higher reserves in France from a new client in the current year. This increase was partially offset by higher premiums driven by growth in France from a new client and a favorable adjustment related to German premium taxes in the current year.

Net operating income

Net operating income decreased primarily related to our variable annuity products largely driven by less favorable equity market performance in the current year.

Revenues

The decrease in net investment losses was primarily related to derivative gains in the current year compared to derivative losses in the prior year. The decrease was also attributable to lower net investment losses from the sale of investment securities in the current year, partially offset by losses on embedded derivatives associated with our variable annuity products with GMWBs in the current year compared to gains in the prior year.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves increased primarily attributable to an increase in our GMDB reserves in our variable annuity products due to less favorable equity market performance in the current year.

Interest credited decreased largely related to our institutional products as a result of lower interest paid on our floating rate policyholder liabilities in the current year due to a decrease in outstanding liabilities.

 

111


Table of Contents

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles increased related to our variable annuity products primarily from lower net investment losses and less favorable equity market performance in the current year.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate was not meaningful for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the effective tax rate was zero as statutory federal income taxes were offset by tax favored investments and a change in valuation allowance. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the effective tax rate was primarily driven by changes in uncertain tax positions.

Table of Contents

Variable Annuities—Income Distribution Series

Account value related to our income distribution series products decreased mainly attributable to surrenders outpacing favorable equity market performance and interest credited in the current year. We no longer solicit sales of our variable annuities; however, we continue to service our existing block of business and accept additional deposits on existing contracts.

Traditional Variable Annuities

In our traditional variable annuities, the decrease in account value was primarily the result of surrenders outpacing favorable equity market performance in the current year. We no longer solicit sales of our variable annuities; however, we continue to service our existing block of business and accept additional deposits on existing contracts.

Variable Life Insurance

Net operating loss

We reported a lower net operating loss in the current year primarily attributable to favorable tax adjustments of $17 million recorded in the current year, partially offset by lower net investment income in the current year.

Revenues

Net investment income decreased primarily from the sale of our reverse mortgage business on April 1, 2013 and lower average invested assets in the current year.

We had lower net investment losses in the current year primarily attributable to gains from the sale of investment securities in the current year compared to losses in the prior year, partially offset by derivative losses in the current year compared to derivative gains in the prior year.

Insurance and investment product fees and other decreased as a result of the sale of our reverse mortgage business on April 1, 2013.

Benefits and expenses

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, decreased $46 million as a result of the sale of our reverse mortgage business on April 1, 2013, partially offset by higher net expenses after allocations to our operating segments in the current year.

 

114


Table of Contents

The increase in the income tax benefit was primarily related to favorable adjustments of $17 million recorded in the current year primarily from the release of a valuation allowance and state and federal true ups related to the prior year tax return. The increase was partially offset by the tax effects of stock-based compensation expense in the current year.

(1)  Included in other invested assets was $21 million and $22 million of net investment income related to reinsurance arrangements accounted for under the deposit method during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Annualized yields for fixed maturity and equity securities are based on weighted-average amortized cost or cost, respectively. Annualized yields for other invested assets, which include securities lending activity, are calculated net of the corresponding securities lending liability. All other annualized yields are based on average carrying values.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, annualized weighted-average investment yields decreased primarily attributable to lower reinvestment yields, partially offset by $9 million of higher gains related to limited partnerships in the current year. The three months ended March 31, 2014 included a decrease of $10 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

 

    We recorded $1 million of net other-than-temporary impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $12 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded $1 million of impairments related to commercial mortgage loans. Of total impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2013, $6 million related to structured securities, including $3 million related to sub-prime and Alt-A residential mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Impairments related to corporate securities as a result of bankruptcies, receivership or concerns about the issuer’s ability to continue to make contractual payments or where we have intent to sell were $6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

    Net investment losses related to derivatives of $21 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were primarily associated with GMWB losses, including decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from equity market fluctuation, which were partially offset by non-derivative investment gains on trading securities. In addition, there were losses related to derivatives used to hedge foreign currency risk associated with assets held and expected dividend payments from certain foreign subsidiaries, as well as losses related to a non-qualified derivative strategy to mitigate interest rate risk with our statutory capital positions. These losses were partially offset by gains related to hedge ineffectiveness from our cash flow hedge programs for our long-term care insurance business due to a decrease in long-term interest rates. Net investment losses related to derivatives of $42 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were primarily attributable to GMWB losses due to decreases in the values of instruments used to protect statutory surplus from declines in the S&P index and policyholder funds underperforming underlying variable annuity funds as compared to market indices.

 

    Net losses related to the sale of available-for-sale securities decreased $10 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. We also recorded $2 million of higher net gains related to trading securities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Table of Contents
    The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $265 million from the sale of 49 securities and $577 million from the sale of 127 securities, respectively, which was approximately 92% and 90%, respectively, of book value. The loss on sales of securities in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily driven by widening credit spreads. Generally, securities that are sold at a loss represent either small dollar amounts or percentage losses upon disposition. The securities sold at a loss in the first quarter of 2014 included three U.S. corporate securities sold for a total loss of $8 million and one foreign corporate security sold for a total loss of $3 million related to portfolio repositioning activities. The securities sold at a loss in the first quarter of 2013 included three mortgage-backed securities sold for a total loss of $19 million, one asset-backed security sold for a total loss of $3 million and one corporate security sold for a total loss of $3 million related to portfolio repositioning activities.

We hold fixed maturity, equity and trading securities, derivatives, embedded derivatives, securities held as collateral and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As of March 31, 2014, approximately 9% of our investment holdings recorded at fair value was based on significant inputs that were not market observable and were classified as Level 3 measurements. See note 6 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to fair value.

(4)  Fair value included $69 million collateralized by sub-prime residential mortgage loans and $98 million collateralized by Alt-A residential mortgage loans.

Fixed maturity securities increased $1.6 billion principally from higher net unrealized gains attributable to changes in interest rates in the current year.

The majority of our unrealized losses were related to securities held in our U.S. Life Insurance segment. Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment had gross unrealized losses of $32 million and $44 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Our exposure in peripheral European countries consists of fixed maturity securities and trading bonds in Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain. Investments in these countries are primarily made to support our international businesses and to diversify our U.S. corporate fixed maturity securities with European bonds denominated in U.S. dollars. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our exposure to the peripheral European countries increased by $8 million to $599 million with unrealized gains of $36 million. Our exposure as of March 31, 2014 was diversified with direct exposure to local economies of $247 million, indirect exposure through debt issued by subsidiaries outside of the European periphery of $76 million and exposure to multinational companies where the majority of revenues come from outside of the country of domicile of $276 million.

Our investments in derivatives and derivatives counterparty collateral increased primarily attributable to changes in the long-term interest rate environment in the current year. The increase in securities lending collateral primarily related to an increase in loans driven by market demand. Short-term investments decreased from net maturities and sales in the current year and limited partnerships decreased from a return of capital, partially offset by amortization.

The number of policies related to our GMWB embedded derivatives decreased as variable annuity products are no longer being offered. The number of policies related to our fixed index annuity embedded derivatives increased as a result of product sales.

Consolidated Balance Sheets

Total assets. Total assets increased $1,720 million from $108,045 million as of December 31, 2013 to $109,765 million as of March 31, 2014.

 

    Cash, cash equivalents and invested assets increased $1,958 million primarily from an increase of $1,812 million in invested assets. Our fixed maturity securities portfolio increased $1,615 million principally attributable to higher unrealized gains attributable to changes in interest rates in the current year. Other invested assets increased $189 million primarily driven by an increase in derivatives and derivatives counterparty collateral largely attributable to changes in the long-term interest rate environment in the current year. Securities lending collateral also increased primarily driven by market demand. These increases in other invested assets were partially offset by a decrease in short-term investments from net maturities and sales in the current year and a decrease in limited partnerships from a return of capital, partially offset by amortization in the current year.

 

    Separate account assets decreased $205 million as death and surrender benefits exceeded favorable market performance in the current year.

Total liabilities. Total liabilities increased $606 million from $92,425 million as of December 31, 2013 to $93,031 million as of March 31, 2014.

 

    Our policyholder-related liabilities increased $644 million primarily as a result of an increase in our long-term care insurance business from growth of our in-force block and higher claims in the current year. Our annuity and life insurance businesses increased as well related to growth of our in-force blocks. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in our U.S. mortgage insurance business due to lower delinquencies in the current year. Our international mortgage insurance business decreased mainly related to lower unearned premiums from changes in foreign exchange rates in the current year.

 

    Other liabilities decreased $319 million mainly related to a decrease in derivatives and derivative counterparty collateral largely attributable to changes in the long-term interest rate environment in the current year.

 

    Our deferred tax liability increased $508 million primarily from an increase in unrealized net investment gains in the current year.

 

    Separate account liabilities decreased $205 million as death and surrender benefits exceeded favorable market performance in the current year.

Total stockholders’ equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased $1,114 million from $15,620 million as of December 31, 2013 to $16,734 million as of March 31, 2014.

 

    We reported net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders of $184 million in the current year.

 

    Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) increased $941 million predominately attributable to higher net unrealized investment gains and derivatives qualifying as hedges mainly related to changes in the long-term interest rate environment in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and capital resources represent our overall financial strength and our ability to generate cash flows from our businesses, borrow funds at competitive rates and raise new capital to meet our operating and growth needs.

Our principal sources of cash include sales of our products and services, income from our investment portfolio and proceeds from sales of investments. As an insurance business, we typically generate positive cash flows from operating activities, as premiums collected from our insurance products and income received from our investments exceed policy acquisition costs, benefits paid, redemptions and operating expenses. These positive cash flows are then invested to support the obligations of our insurance and investment products and required capital supporting these products. Our cash flows from operating activities are affected by the timing of premiums, fees and investment income received and benefits and expenses paid. Cash inflows from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased slightly compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily as lower claim payments were mostly offset by higher tax payments in the current year.

In analyzing our cash flow, we focus on the change in the amount of cash available and used in investing activities. We had cash outflows from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as purchases of fixed maturity securities exceeded maturities and sales in the current year. We had cash inflows from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as maturities and sales of fixed maturity securities exceeded purchases in the prior year.

Changes in cash from financing activities primarily relate to the issuance of, and redemptions and benefit payments on, universal life insurance and investment contracts; the issuance and acquisition of debt and equity securities; the issuance and repayment or repurchase of borrowings and non-recourse funding obligations; and dividends to our stockholders and other capital transactions. We had cash inflows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as deposits exceeded withdrawals of our investment contracts in the current year. We had cash outflows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as withdrawals exceeded deposits on our investment contracts in the prior year.

In the United States and Canada, we engage in certain securities lending transactions for the purpose of enhancing the yield on our investment securities portfolio. We maintain effective control over all loaned securities and, therefore, continue to report such securities as fixed maturity securities on our consolidated balance sheets. We are currently indemnified against counterparty credit risk by the intermediary.

Under the securities lending program in the United States, the borrower is required to provide collateral, which can consist of cash or government securities, on a daily basis in amounts equal to or exceeding 102% of the applicable securities loaned. Currently, we only accept cash collateral from borrowers under the program. Cash collateral received by us on securities lending transactions is reflected in other invested assets with an offsetting liability recognized in other liabilities for the obligation to return the collateral. Any cash collateral received is reinvested by our custodian based upon the investment guidelines provided within our agreement. In the United States, the reinvested cash collateral is primarily invested in a money market fund approved by the NAIC, U.S. and foreign government securities, U.S. government agency securities, asset-backed securities and corporate debt securities. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of securities loaned under our securities lending program in the United States was $264 million and $191 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of collateral held under our securities lending program in the United States was $261 million and $187 million, respectively, and the offsetting obligation to return

Table of Contents

collateral of $273 million and $199 million, respectively, was included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. We did not have any non-cash collateral provided by the borrower in our securities lending program in the United States as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Under our securities lending program in Canada, the borrower is required to provide collateral consisting of government securities on a daily basis in amounts equal to or exceeding 105% of the fair value of the applicable securities loaned. Securities received from counterparties as collateral are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet given that the risk and rewards of ownership is not transferred from the counterparties to us in the course of such transactions. Additionally, there was no cash collateral as cash collateral is not permitted as an acceptable form of collateral under the program. In Canada, the lending institution must be included on the approved Securities Lending Borrowers List with the Canadian regulator and the intermediary must be rated at least “AA-” by S&P. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of securities loaned under our securities lending program in Canada was $150 million and $229 million, respectively.

We also have a repurchase program in which we sell an investment security at a specified price and agree to repurchase that security at another specified price at a later date. Repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently reacquired, including accrued interest, as specified in the respective agreements. The market value of securities to be repurchased is monitored and collateral levels are adjusted where appropriate to protect the counterparty and us against credit exposure. Cash received is invested in fixed maturity securities. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of securities pledged under the repurchase program was $848 million and $890 million, respectively, and the repurchase obligation of $784 million and $919 million, respectively, was included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Genworth—holding company

Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings each acts as a holding company for their respective subsidiaries and do not have any significant operations of their own. Dividends from their respective subsidiaries, payments to them under tax sharing and expense reimbursement arrangements with their subsidiaries and proceeds from borrowings or securities issuances are their principal sources of cash to meet their obligations. Insurance laws and regulations regulate the payment of dividends and other distributions to Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings by their insurance subsidiaries. We expect dividends paid by the insurance subsidiaries will vary depending on strategic objectives, regulatory requirements and business performance.

The primary uses of funds at Genworth Financial and Genworth Holdings include payment of holding company general operating expenses (including taxes), payment of principal, interest and other expenses on current and any future borrowings, payments under current and any future guarantees (including guarantees of certain subsidiary obligations), payment of amounts owed to GE under the Tax Matters Agreement, payments to subsidiaries (and, in the case of Genworth Holdings, to Genworth Financial) under tax sharing agreements, contributions to subsidiaries, repurchases of debt and equity securities, potentially payments for acquisitions, payment of dividends on Genworth Financial common stock (to the extent declared by Genworth Financial’s Board of Directors) and, in the case of Genworth Holdings, loans, dividends or other distributions to Genworth Financial. We do not have any long-term debt maturities until June 2014, when $485 million of Genworth Holdings’ long-term notes mature. Net proceeds of approximately $360 million from the wealth management sale are being held at Genworth Holdings, and together with cash on hand, will be used to repay the 2014 debt at maturity or before. In deploying future capital, such as proceeds from the IPO of our Australian mortgage insurance business (if completed), important current priorities include focusing on our operating businesses so they remain appropriately capitalized, and accelerating progress on reducing overall indebtedness. We may from time to time seek to repurchase or redeem outstanding notes (including the notes maturing in June 2014) for cash in open market purchases, tender offers, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Our Board of Directors has suspended the payment of dividends on our common stock indefinitely. The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent on many factors including the receipt of dividends from our operating

 

125

subsidiaries, our financial condition and operating results, the capital requirements of our subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, our credit and financial strength ratings and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, our Board of Directors has suspended repurchases of our common stock under our stock repurchase program indefinitely. The resumption of our stock repurchase program will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Genworth Holdings had $1,118 million and $1,219 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Genworth Holdings also held $150 million in U.S. government securities as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received dividends from our international subsidiaries of $31 million.

Regulated insurance subsidiaries

The liquidity requirements of our regulated insurance subsidiaries principally relate to the liabilities associated with their various insurance and investment products, operating costs and expenses, the payment of dividends to us, contributions to their subsidiaries, payment of principal and interest on their outstanding debt obligations and income taxes. Liabilities arising from insurance and investment products include the payment of benefits, as well as cash payments in connection with policy surrenders and withdrawals, policy loans and obligations to redeem funding agreements.

Our insurance subsidiaries have used cash flows from operations and investment activities to fund their liquidity requirements. Our insurance subsidiaries’ principal cash inflows from operating activities are derived from premiums, annuity deposits and insurance and investment product fees and other income, including commissions, cost of insurance, mortality, expense and surrender charges, contract underwriting fees, investment management fees and dividends and distributions from their subsidiaries. The principal cash inflows from investment activities result from repayments of principal, investment income and, as necessary, sales of invested assets.

Our insurance subsidiaries maintain investment strategies intended to provide adequate funds to pay benefits without forced sales of investments. Products having liabilities with longer durations, such as certain life insurance and long-term care insurance policies, are matched with investments having similar duration such as long-term fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans. Shorter-term liabilities are matched with fixed maturity securities that have short- and medium-term fixed maturities. In addition, our insurance subsidiaries hold highly liquid, high quality short-term investment securities and other liquid investment grade fixed maturity securities to fund anticipated operating expenses, surrenders and withdrawals. As of March 31, 2014, our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets were $74.8 billion. Our investments in privately placed fixed maturity securities, commercial mortgage loans, policy loans, limited partnership interests and select mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are relatively illiquid. These asset classes represented approximately 31% of the carrying value of our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets as of March 31, 2014.

On April 29, 2014, Genworth MI Canada Inc. (“Genworth Canada”) announced acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) of Genworth Canada’s Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”). Pursuant to the NCIB, Genworth Canada may, if considered advisable, purchase from time to time over the next 12 months, up to an aggregate of 4.7 million of its issued and outstanding common shares. If Genworth Canada decides to repurchase shares through the NCIB, we intend to participate in the NCIB in order to maintain our overall ownership at its current level.

Capital resources and financing activities

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2014, on April 1, 2014, Genworth Canada, our majority-owned subsidiary, issued CAD$160 million of 4.242% senior notes due 2024. The senior notes are redeemable at the

 

126


Table of Contents

option of Genworth Canada, in whole or in part, at any time. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to redeem, in full, its existing senior notes due December 2015 with a principal amount of CAD$150 million and bearing a fixed annual interest rate of 4.59%. In conjunction with the redemption, Genworth Canada will make an early redemption payment to existing noteholders of approximately CAD$7 million in the second quarter of 2014.

We believe existing cash held at Genworth Holdings combined with dividends from subsidiaries, payments under tax sharing and expense reimbursement arrangements with subsidiaries and proceeds from borrowings or securities issuances will provide us with sufficient capital flexibility and liquidity to meet our future operating requirements. We actively monitor our liquidity position, liquidity generation options and the credit markets given changing market conditions. We manage liquidity at Genworth Holdings to maintain a minimum balance of one and half times expected annual debt interest payments plus an additional excess of $350 million, although the excess amount may be lower during the quarter due to the timing of cash inflows and outflows. We will evaluate the target level of the excess amount as circumstances warrant. We cannot predict with any certainty the impact to us from any future disruptions in the credit markets or further downgrades by one or more of the rating agencies of the financial strength ratings of our insurance company subsidiaries and/or the credit ratings of our holding companies. The availability of additional funding will depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, regulatory considerations, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to the financial services industry, the level of activity and availability of reinsurance, our credit ratings and credit capacity and the performance of and outlook for our business.

Contractual obligations and commercial commitments

We enter into obligations with third parties in the ordinary course of our operations. However, we do not believe that our cash flow requirements can be assessed based upon analysis of these obligations as the funding of these future cash obligations will be from future cash flows from premiums, deposits, fees and investment income that are not reflected herein. Future cash outflows, whether they are contractual obligations or not, also will vary based upon our future needs. Although some outflows are fixed, others depend on future events. Examples of fixed obligations include our obligations to pay principal and interest on fixed rate borrowings. Examples of obligations that will vary include obligations to pay interest on variable rate borrowings and insurance liabilities that depend on future interest rates and market performance. Many of our obligations are linked to cash-generating contracts. These obligations include payments to contractholders that assume those contractholders will continue to make deposits in accordance with the terms of their contracts. In addition, our operations involve significant expenditures that are not based upon “commitments.”

Except as described above, there have been no material additions or changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as set forth in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 3, 2014.

Securitization Entities

There were no off-balance sheet securitization transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of the loss of fair value resulting from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. Market risk is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying financial instruments are traded. The following is a discussion of our market risk exposures and our risk management practices.

 

127


Table of Contents

While equity and credit markets generally improved, equity and credit market volatility continued into January 2014 and credit spreads continued to compress further during the first quarter of 2014. Additionally, U.S. Treasury yields remained at historically low levels during the first quarter of 2014. See “—Business trends and conditions” and “—Investments and Derivative Instruments” in “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion of recent market conditions.

In the first quarter of 2014, the U.S. dollar strengthened against currencies in Canada and Australia as compared to the first quarter of 2013, mostly notably in Australia. However, currencies in the United Kingdom and the Euro strengthened against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. This has generally resulted in lower levels of reported revenues and net income, assets, liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our U.S. dollar consolidated financial statements. See “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion on the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

There were no other material changes in our market risks since December 31, 2013.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2014, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting During the Quarter Ended March 31, 2014

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We face the risk of litigation and regulatory investigations and actions in the ordinary course of operating our businesses, including the risk of class action lawsuits. Our pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings specific to us and others generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which we operate. In our insurance operations, we are, have been, or may become subject to class actions and individual suits alleging, among other things, issues relating to sales or underwriting practices, increases to in-force long-term care insurance premiums, payment of contingent or other sales commissions, claims payments and procedures, product design, product disclosure, administration, additional premium charges for premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, charging excessive or impermissible fees on products, recommending unsuitable products to customers, our pricing structures and business practices in our mortgage insurance businesses, such as captive reinsurance arrangements with lenders and contract underwriting services, violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”) or related state anti-inducement laws, and mortgage insurance policy rescissions and curtailments, and breaching fiduciary or other duties to customers, including but not limited to breach of customer information. Plaintiffs in class action and other lawsuits against us may seek very large or indeterminate amounts which may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In our investment-related operations, we are subject to litigation involving commercial disputes with counterparties. We are also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities such as our contractual and employment relationships. In addition, we are also subject to various regulatory inquiries, such as information

 

128


Table of Contents

requests, subpoenas, books and record examinations and market conduct and financial examinations from state, federal and international regulators and other authorities. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if we ultimately prevail in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we could suffer significant reputational harm, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2014, Genworth Financial, Inc. and a former and current officer were named in a putative class action lawsuit captioned City of Hialeah Employees’ Retirement System v. Genworth Financial, Inc., et al, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Plaintiff alleges securities law violations involving certain disclosures in 2012 concerning Genworth’s Australian mortgage insurance business, including our plans for an initial public offering of the business. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, costs and attorneys’ fees and such equitable/injunctive relief as the court may deem proper. We intend to vigorously defend this action.

Except as described below, there were no material developments during the three months ended March 31, 2014 in any of the legal proceedings identified in Part I, Item 3 of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As previously disclosed, in December 2009, one of our former non-insurance subsidiaries, one of the former subsidiary’s officers and Genworth Financial, Inc. (now known as Genworth Holdings, Inc.) were named in a putative class action lawsuit captioned Michael J. Goodman and Linda Brown v. Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc. et al., in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Plaintiffs allege securities law and other violations involving the selection of mutual funds by our former subsidiary on behalf of certain of its Private Client Group clients. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary other relief. Oral argument on plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class action was conducted on January 30, 2013. On April 15, 2014, the court issued its decision denying the plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class.

As previously disclosed, in April 2012, two of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries were named as respondents in two arbitrations, one brought by Bank of America, N.A. and one brought by Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. and Bank of America, N.A. as claimants. Claimants alleged breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and seek a declaratory judgment relating to our denial, curtailment and rescission of mortgage insurance coverage. Subject to approval by the GSEs, we reached an agreement on December 31, 2013 to resolve that portion of both arbitrations involving rescission practices. In addition to GSE approval, which remains outstanding, consummation of the settlement was also conditioned upon the parties’ prior negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement requiring submission of curtailment and denial disputes to a binding alternative dispute proceeding (“Curtailment ADR Agreement”). In March 2014, the parties executed the Curtailment ADR Agreement. Genworth plans to continue to vigorously defend its practices in the arbitrations.

As previously disclosed, beginning in December 2011 and continuing through January 2013, one of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries was named along with several other mortgage insurers and mortgage lenders as a defendant in twelve putative class action lawsuits alleging that certain “captive reinsurance arrangements” were in violation of RESPA. On February 5, 2014, the court in Menichino denied the motions to dismiss without prejudice to the defendants re-raising the affirmative defense of the statute of limitations on a more fully developed record at summary judgment. On March 5, 2014 the Ba case was stayed, pending the outcome of the Riddle appeal by plaintiff of the court’s decision granting our motion for summary judgment dismissing the case as time barred. On March 26, 2014 the Menichino action was stayed pending the outcome of the Riddle appeal. We intend to vigorously defend the remaining actions.

At this time, we cannot determine or predict the ultimate outcome of any of the pending legal and regulatory matters specifically identified above or the likelihood of potential future legal and regulatory matters against us. We also are not able to provide an estimate or range of possible losses related to these matters. Therefore, we

 

129


Table of Contents

cannot ensure that the current investigations and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, it is possible that related investigations and proceedings may be commenced in the future, and we could become subject to additional unrelated investigations and lawsuits. Increased regulatory scrutiny and any resulting investigations or proceedings could result in new legal precedents and industry-wide regulations or practices that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the above-referenced filing as of March 31, 2014.
