StanCorp Financial Group, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Earnings

PORTLAND, Ore. — January 29, 2014 — StanCorp Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: SFG) today reported net income of $65.0 million, or $1.46 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to net income of $38.4 million, or $0.87 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2012. After-tax net capital losses were $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.

Net income excluding after-tax net capital losses was $1.49 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $0.89 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2012 (see discussion of non-GAAP financial measures below). The increase was primarily due to more favorable claims experience in Employee Benefits and Individual Disability and higher earnings in Asset Management for the fourth quarter of 2013.

“I am pleased with our fourth quarter and full year 2013 financial performance. In 2013, we saw strong earnings growth in Employee Benefits and record earnings in Individual Disability and Asset Management. I am proud of the efforts of our employees in implementing pricing actions, managing expenses and providing superior products and services to our customers,” said Greg Ness, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “I like the direction that we are headed as we begin 2014.”

2013 Results

Net income was $228.5 million, or $5.13 per diluted share for 2013, compared to net income of $138.5 million, or $3.12 per diluted share for 2012. After-tax net capital losses were $9.4 million for 2013, compared to $5.4 million for 2012.

Net income excluding after-tax net capital losses was $5.34 per diluted share for 2013, compared to $3.24 per diluted share for 2012. The increase was primarily due to more favorable claims experience in Employee Benefits, lower operating expenses as a result of expense management actions, and higher earnings in Asset Management for 2013. Operating expenses were reduced by $20.6 million or $0.30 per diluted share for the first half of 2013 due to the amendment of the Company’s postretirement medical plan.

The Company reported return on average equity, excluding after-tax net capital losses from net income and accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) from equity, of 12.3% for 2013, compared to 8.0% for 2012.

2014 Guidance

The Company’s 2014 guidance consists of the following expectations:

 

   

Employee Benefits premiums – Relatively flat premiums for 2014 compared to 2013;

 

   

Employee Benefits benefit ratio – Annual benefit ratio in the range of 77% to 79%;

 

   

Effective income tax rate – Effective income tax rate in the range of 25% to 26%; and

 

   

Share repurchases – Share repurchases in the range of $40 million to $80 million.


Based on the midpoint of the above ranges, the Company expects a return on average equity, excluding after-tax net capital gains and losses from net income and AOCI from equity, of approximately 11% and net income per diluted share excluding after-tax net capital gains and losses of approximately $5.15 per diluted share for 2014. Actual results may vary due to changes in the interest rate environment and other factors described in Forward-Looking Information below.

Business Segments

Insurance Services

Insurance Services reported income before income taxes of $83.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $48.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to more favorable claims experience in Employee Benefits and Individual Disability, partially offset by lower Employee Benefits premiums and lower net investment income.

Insurance Services reported income before income taxes of $272.4 million for 2013, compared to $179.8 million for 2012. The increase was primarily due to more favorable claims experience in Employee Benefits, partially offset by lower Employee Benefits premiums and lower net investment income.

Employee Benefits

Employee Benefits premiums decreased 1.4% to $479.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 from $485.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Employee Benefits premiums decreased 2.7% to $1.93 billion for 2013, compared to $1.98 billion for 2012. The decrease in premiums for the fourth quarter and full year 2013 was primarily due to lower Employee Benefits sales for 2013.

Experience rated refunds (“ERRs”) decreased Employee Benefits premiums by $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 and $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. ERRs decreased Employee Benefits premiums by $13.1 million for 2013 and increased Employee Benefits premiums by $4.0 million for 2012. Excluding ERRs, Employee Benefits premiums decreased 1.3% for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and decreased 1.9% for 2013 compared to 2012. ERRs represent a cost sharing arrangement with certain Employee Benefits contract holders that provides refunds when claims experience is more favorable than contractual benchmarks, and provides for additional premiums to be paid when claims experience is less favorable than contractual benchmarks. ERRs can fluctuate widely from quarter to quarter depending on the underlying experience of the specific contracts.

Employee Benefits sales, reported as annualized new premiums, were $69.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $73.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 and $222.1 million for 2013, compared to $245.0 million for 2012. The decrease in Employee Benefits sales was primarily due to pricing competition as the Company continued to implement pricing actions on its long term disability business to address the impact of the elevated claims incidence and the continued low interest rate environment.

The discount rate used for newly established long term disability claim reserves was 3.75% for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 4.00% for the fourth quarter of 2012. The 25 basis point lower discount rate for the fourth quarter of 2013 resulted in a corresponding decrease in quarterly pre-tax income of approximately $2 million.

The Company’s new money investment rate was 4.33% for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 4.77% for the fourth quarter of 2012. The 12-month reserve interest margin between the Company’s new money rate and average reserve discount rate was 49 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 68 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2012.


The Employee Benefits benefit ratio, measured as benefits to policyholders and interest credited as a percentage of premiums, was 76.1% for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 83.7% for the fourth quarter of 2012. The 25 basis point lower discount rate used for newly established long term disability claim reserves increased the benefit ratio for the fourth quarter of 2013 by approximately 50 basis points. Excluding the effect of the lower discount rate, the benefit ratio improved approximately 810 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.

The annual Employee Benefits benefit ratio was 78.9% for 2013, compared to 83.9% for 2012. The decrease in the annual benefit ratio was primarily due to the ongoing pricing actions implemented on the Company’s long term disability business and an improvement in long term disability claims incidence. Claims experience can fluctuate widely from quarter to quarter and tends to be more stable when measured over a longer period of time.

Individual Disability

Individual Disability premiums were $48.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $46.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 and $190.5 million for 2013, compared to $176.6 million for 2012.

The Individual Disability benefit ratio was 57.5% for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 73.8% for the fourth quarter of 2012. The annual Individual Disability benefit ratio was 63.9% for 2013, compared to 65.8% for 2012. Due to the relatively small size of the Individual Disability business, the benefit ratio generally fluctuates more on a quarterly basis and tends to be more stable when measured on an annual basis.

Asset Management

Asset Management reported income before income taxes of $19.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $16.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher administrative fee revenues and spread margin as a result of the increase in assets under administration. In addition, bond call premiums and commercial mortgage loan prepayment fee revenues added $4.2 million of income before income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Income before income taxes also increased $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 and $0.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 as a result of the change in fair values of the hedging assets and liabilities related to the Company’s equity-indexed annuity product.

Asset Management reported income before income taxes of $79.3 million for 2013, compared to $64.0 million for 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher administrative fee revenues and spread margin as a result of the increase in assets under administration and lower benefits to policyholders as a result of favorable mortality experience in the individual annuity business. In addition, bond call premiums and commercial mortgage loan prepayment fee revenues added $8.6 million of income before income taxes for 2013, compared to $6.6 million for 2012. Income before income taxes also increased $2.6 million for 2013 and $0.2 million for 2012 as a result of the change in fair values of the hedging assets and liabilities related to the Company’s equity-indexed annuity product.

Assets under administration, which include retirement plans, individual fixed annuities, private client wealth management and commercial mortgage loans managed for third-party investors, increased 13.8% to $24.70 billion at December 31, 2013, compared to $21.69 billion at December 31, 2012, primarily reflecting higher equity values for retirement plan assets under administration.


StanCorp Mortgage Investors originated $251.2 million of commercial mortgage loans for the fourth quarter of 2013 and $327.2 million of commercial mortgage loans for the fourth quarter of 2012. StanCorp Mortgage Investors originated $1.30 billion of commercial mortgage loans for 2013, a 10.0% increase compared to $1.18 billion of commercial mortgage loans originated for 2012. The increase in originations for 2013 was the result of increased activity in the commercial real estate market.

Other

The Other category includes the return on capital not allocated to the product segments, holding company expenses, operations of certain unallocated subsidiaries, interest on debt, unallocated expenses, net capital gains and losses related to the disposition or impairment of the Company’s invested assets and adjustments made in consolidation.

The Other category reported a loss before income taxes of $11.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to a loss before income taxes of $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Net capital losses were $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to net capital losses of $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The loss before income taxes excluding net capital losses was $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $10.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Other category reported a loss before income taxes of $38.7 million for 2013, compared to a loss before income taxes of $60.4 million for 2012. Net capital losses were $15.7 million for 2013, compared to $8.7 million for 2012. The loss before income taxes excluding net capital losses were $23.0 million for 2013, compared to $51.7 million for 2012. The loss before income taxes for 2013 included lower operating expenses, higher net investment income and lower interest expense.

Operating expenses for the Other category were reduced by $20.6 million for the first half of 2013 due to the amendment of the Company’s postretirement medical plan.

Net investment income for 2013 was $16.1 million, compared to $10.2 million for 2012, primarily due to higher invested assets allocated to the Other category.

On August 10, 2012, the Company issued $250 million of 5.00%, 10-year senior notes. On September 28, 2012, the Company used the net proceeds from the issuance to repay the Company’s $250 million of 6.875%, 10-year senior notes due October 1, 2012. The overlap of the outstanding senior notes and the higher interest rate on the repaid senior notes resulted in higher interest expense in the Other category for 2012 of approximately $5 million compared to 2013.

Cash and Investments

At December 31, 2013, the Company’s total cash and investments consisted of 54.1% fixed maturity securities, 41.1% commercial mortgage loans, 2.9% cash and cash equivalents, and 1.9% real estate and other invested assets. The overall weighted-average credit rating of the fixed maturity securities portfolio was A- (Standard & Poor’s) at December 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2013, commercial mortgage loans in the Company’s investment portfolio totaled $5.41 billion on approximately 6,530 commercial mortgage loans. The average loan balance retained by the Company in the portfolio was $0.8 million. Commercial mortgage loans more than 60 days delinquent were 0.28% and 0.40% of the portfolio balance at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


Capital and Book Value

The Company’s available capital increased $115 million to approximately $535 million at December 31, 2013 compared to September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to income from its insurance subsidiaries and a lower risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirement for the fourth quarter of 2013, partially offset by share repurchases and an allocation for expected annual interest and shareholder dividends. Available capital includes capital at its insurance subsidiaries in excess of the Company’s target RBC ratio of 300% and cash and capital at the holding company and non-insurance subsidiaries. The RBC ratio was estimated to be 398% at December 31, 2013.

The Company’s book value per share decreased 0.1% from $48.83 at December 31, 2012, to $48.79 at December 31, 2013, primarily due to the decrease in AOCI. AOCI decreased $174.6 million from December 31, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in net unrealized gains in the Company’s fixed maturity securities portfolio related to higher market interest rates. The Company’s book value per share excluding AOCI increased 9.2% from $41.87 at December 31, 2012, to $45.73 at December 31, 2013 (see discussion of non-GAAP financial measures below). During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company paid an annual dividend of $1.10 per share, an 18.3% increase compared to the annual dividend of $0.93 per share for 2012. The increase represents the fourteenth consecutive annual increase to the shareholder dividend and reflects the Company’s strong capital position and higher earnings.

Share Repurchases

For the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company repurchased 193,721 shares at a total cost of $11.4 million, which reflects a volume weighted-average price per share of $58.98. For 2013, the Company repurchased 1,644,488 shares at a total cost of $82.3 million, which resulted in a volume weighted-average price of $50.07. At December 31, 2013, the Company had 1.4 million shares remaining under its repurchase authorization, which expires December 31, 2014. Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding were 44,493,139 for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 44,387,650 for the fourth quarter of 2012 and 44,527,405 for 2013, compared to 44,359,891 for 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Financial measures that exclude after-tax net capital gains and losses and AOCI are non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States) measures. To provide investors with a broader understanding of earnings, the Company provides net income per diluted share excluding after-tax net capital gains and losses, along with the GAAP measure of net income per diluted share, because capital gains and losses are not likely to occur in a stable pattern.

Return on average equity excluding after-tax net capital gains and losses from net income and AOCI from equity is furnished along with the GAAP measure of net income return on average equity because management believes providing both measures gives investors a broader understanding of return on average equity. Measuring return on average equity without AOCI excludes the effect of market value fluctuations of the Company’s fixed maturity securities associated with changes in interest rates and other market data. Management believes that measuring return on average equity without AOCI is important to investors because the turnover of the Company’s portfolio of fixed maturity securities may not be such that unrealized gains and losses reflected in AOCI are ultimately realized. Furthermore, management believes exclusion of AOCI provides investors with a better measure of return.
