Non–GAAP Measures
This
presentation
includes
references
to
“adjusted
operating
income.”
Adjusted
operating
income
is
a
non-GAAP
measure
of
performance
of
our
Financial
Services
Businesses
(“FSB”). 
Adjusted
operating
income
excludes
“Realized
investment
gains
(losses),
net,”
as
adjusted,
and
related
charges
and
adjustments.
A
significant
element
of
realized
investment
gains
and
losses are impairments and credit-related and interest rate-related gains and losses.  Impairments and losses from sales of credit-impaired securities, the timing of which depends largely
on market credit cycles, can vary considerably across periods. The timing of other sales that would result in gains or losses, such as interest rate-related gains or losses, is largely
subject
to
our
discretion
and
influenced
by
market
opportunities
as
well
as
our
tax
and
capital
profile.
Realized investment gains (losses) within certain of our businesses for which such gains (losses) are a principal source of earnings, and those associated with terminating hedges of
foreign currency earnings and current period yield adjustments are included in adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income excludes realized investment gains and losses from
products
that
contain
embedded
derivatives,
and
from
associated
derivative
portfolios
that
are
part
of
a
hedging
program
related
to
the
risk
of
those
products.
Adjusted
operating
income
also excludes gains and losses from changes in value of certain assets and liabilities relating to foreign currency exchange movements that have been economically hedged or
considered part of our capital funding strategies for our international subsidiaries, as well as gains and losses on certain investments that are classified as other trading account assets.
Adjusted operating income also excludes investment gains and losses on trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities and changes in experience-rated contractholder liabilities
due to asset value changes, because these recorded changes in asset and liability values are expected to ultimately accrue to contractholders. Trends in the underlying profitability of
our
businesses
can
be
more
clearly
identified
without
the
fluctuating
effects
of
these
transactions.
In
addition,
adjusted
operating
income
excludes
the
results
of
divested
businesses,
which are not relevant to our ongoing operations. Discontinued operations, which is presented as a separate component of net income under GAAP, is also excluded from adjusted
operating income.
We
believe
that
the
presentation
of
adjusted
operating
income
as
we
measure
it
for
management
purposes
enhances
understanding
of
the
results
of
operations
of
the
Financial
Services
Businesses by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of our businesses. However, adjusted operating income is not a substitute for income
determined in accordance with GAAP, and the adjustments made to derive adjusted operating income are important to an understanding of our overall results of operations.
Return on equity (“ROE”) based on adjusted operating income is determined by dividing adjusted operating income after-tax (giving effect to the direct equity adjustment for earnings per
share calculation) by average attributed equity for the Financial Services Businesses excluding accumulated other comprehensive income related to unrealized gains and losses on
investments and accumulated other comprehensive income related to pension and postretirement benefits. Beginning on January 1, 2012, ROE will be determined using average
attributed equity for the Financial Services Businesses excluding all of accumulated other comprehensive income, which is indicated on slide 11 by the reference to “DAC/CTA policy
change.”
Our guidance for Common Stock earnings per share and our expectations of ROE are based on after-tax adjusted operating income. Because we do not predict future realized
investment gains / losses or recorded changes in asset and liability values that are expected to ultimately accrue to contractholders, we cannot provide a measure of our Common Stock
earnings
per
share
or
ROE
expectations
based
on
income
from
continuing
operations
of
the
Financial
Services
Businesses,
which
is
the
GAAP
measure
most
comparable
to
adjusted
operating income.
For
additional
information
about
adjusted
operating
income
and
the
comparable
GAAP
measure,
including
reconciliation
between
the
two,

relating
to
the
Company’s
financial
performance

Relations website.

well
as
the
risks
of
our
businesses
described
in
our
