Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Amounts in EUR millions, unless otherwise stated

 

1. Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at, and for the fourth quarter ended, December 31, 2011, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim financial reporting’ as adopted by the European Union (EU) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). It does not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and should therefore be read together with the 2010 consolidated financial statements of AEGON N.V. as included in AEGON’s Annual Report for 2010. AEGON’s Annual Report for 2010 is available on its website (www.aegon.com).

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and those financial instruments (including derivatives) and financial liabilities that have been measured at fair value. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Executive Board on February 16, 2012.

The published figures in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.

Correction of immaterial errors

AEGON identified an immaterial error in AEGON’s financial statements issued prior to 2008. This error is related to the value of AEGON’s deferred tax and current tax balances in the Americas, resulting in an overstatement of Other assets and receivables, offset by an overstatement of Other liabilities and a net understatement of equity in the comparative periods. AEGON assessed the qualitative and quantitative impact of this correction on previously issued financial statements and concluded that it was immaterial in all prior periods.

AEGON has therefore made correcting adjustments to the opening balances of 2010 (increasing Group equity by EUR 110 million) in the current condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

This error had no impact on AEGON’s income statement, including net income or earnings per share, reported in these periods.

The net effect of the correcting adjustments, including the foreign exchange impact, on the individual financial statement line items of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the periods presented are as follows:

2. Significant accounting policies

All accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the 2010 consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as adopted by the European Union.

Taxes on income for the Q4 2011 interim period are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments to standards and interpretations became effective in 2011:

 

   

Amendment to IAS 24 - Related party disclosures

 

   

Amendment to IFRS 1 - First time adoption

 

   

Amendment to IFRIC 14 - Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement

 

   

Amendment to IAS 32 - Classification of Rights Issues

 

   

IFRIC 19 - Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments

 

   

Improvements to IFRS (2010)

None of these new or revised standards and interpretations had a significant effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2011.

AEGON has not early adopted any other standards, interpretations or amendments, which have been issued but are not yet effective.

Critical accounting estimates

Certain amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results may differ from the estimates made.

Assumptions changes

In Q3 2011, AEGON has lowered its long term assumption for 10 year US Treasury yields by 50 bps to 4.75% (graded uniformly from current yields over the next five years) and lowered the 90 day rate to 0.2% for the next two years followed by a three year grade to 3%. In addition, AEGON has lowered its assumed return for separate account bond fund returns by 200 bps to 4% over the next five years, followed by a return of 6% thereafter. The bond fund return is a gross assumption from which asset management and policy fees are deducted to determine the policyholder return.

Exchange rates

The following exchange rates are applied for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements:

Income statement items: average rate 1 EUR = USD 1.3909 (2010: USD 1.3210); 1 EUR = GBP 0.8667 (2010: GBP 0.8544).

Balance sheet items: closing rate 1 EUR = USD 1.2982 (2010: USD 1.3362); 1 EUR = GBP 0.8353 (2010: GBP 0.8608).

Non-IFRS measures

This report includes the non-IFRS financial measure: underlying earnings before tax. The reconciliation of this measure to the most comparable IFRS measure is presented in the tables in this note. This non-IFRS measure is calculated by consolidating on a proportionate basis the revenues and expenses of AEGON’s associated companies in Spain, India, Brazil and Mexico. AEGON believes that its non-IFRS measure provides meaningful information about the underlying operating results of AEGON’s business including insight into the financial measures that senior management uses in managing the business.

AEGON’s senior management is compensated based in part on AEGON’s results against targets using the non-IFRS measure presented here. While many other insurers in AEGON’s peer group present substantially similar non-IFRS measures, the non-IFRS measure presented in this document may nevertheless differ from the non-IFRS measures presented by other insurers. There is no standardized meaning to these measures under IFRS or any other recognized set of accounting standards and readers are cautioned to consider carefully the different ways in which AEGON and its peers present similar information before comparing them.

AEGON believes the non-IFRS measure shown herein, when read together with AEGON’s reported IFRS financial statements, provides meaningful supplemental information for the investing public to evaluate AEGON’s business after eliminating the impact of current IFRS accounting policies for financial instruments and insurance contracts, which embed a number of accounting policy alternatives that companies may select in presenting their results (i.e. companies can use different local GAAPs) and that can make the comparability from period to period difficult.

Underlying earnings

Certain assets held by AEGON Americas, AEGON The Netherlands and AEGON UK are carried at fair value and managed on a total return basis, with no offsetting changes in the valuation of related liabilities. These include assets such as investments in hedge funds, private equities, real estate limited partnerships, convertible bonds and structured products. Underlying earnings exclude any over- or underperformance compared to management’s long-term expected return on assets.

Based on current holdings and asset returns, the long-term expected return on an annual basis is 8-10%, depending on asset class, including cash income and market value changes. The expected earnings from these asset classes are net of deferred policy acquisition costs (DPAC) where applicable.

In addition, certain products offered by AEGON Americas contain guarantees and are reported on a fair value basis, including the segregated funds offered by AEGON Canada and the total return annuities and guarantees on variable annuities of AEGON USA. The earnings on these products are impacted by movements in equity markets and risk-free interest rates. Short-term developments in the financial markets may therefore cause volatility in earnings. Included in underlying earnings is a long-term expected return on these products and excluded is any over- or underperformance compared to management’s expected return. The fair value movements of certain guarantees and the fair value change of derivatives that hedge certain risks on these guarantees of AEGON The Netherlands and Variable Annuities Europe (included in New Markets) are excluded from underlying earnings, and the long-term expected return for these guarantees is set at zero.

Holding and other activities include certain issued bonds that are held at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The interest rate risk on these bonds is hedged using swaps. The fair value movement resulting from changes in AEGON’s credit spread used in the valuation of these bonds are excluded from underlying earnings and reported under fair value items.

Fair value items

Fair value items include the over- or underperformance of investments and guarantees held at fair value for which the expected long-term return is included in underlying earnings. Changes to these long-term return assumptions are also included in the fair value items.

In addition, hedge ineffectiveness on hedge transactions, fair value changes on economic hedges without natural offset in earnings and for which no hedge accounting is applied and fair value movements on real estate are included under fair value items.

Realized gains or losses on investments

Includes realized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, mortgage loans and loan portfolios.

Impairment charges / reversals

Includes impairments and reversals on available-for-sale debt securities and impairments on shares including the effect of deferred policyholder acquisition costs, mortgage loans and loan portfolios on amortized cost and associates respectively.

Other income or charges

Other income or charges is used to report any items which cannot be directly allocated to a specific line of business. Also items that are outside the normal course of business are reported under this heading, including impairments on non-financial assets.

Other charges include restructuring charges that are considered other charges for segment reporting purposes because they are outside the normal course of business. In the condensed consolidated income statement, these charges are included in operating expenses.

Run-off businesses

Includes underlying results of business units where management has decided to exit the market and to run off the existing block of business. Currently, this line includes the run-off of the institutional spread-based business, structured settlements blocks of business, Bank-Owned and Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI/COLI) business and life reinsurance business in the United States. AEGON has other blocks of business for which sales have been discontinued and of which the earnings are included in underlying earnings.

On April 26, 2011, AEGON publicly announced the decision of its Executive Board to divest its life reinsurance activities, Transamerica Reinsurance, to SCOR. These activities are no longer reported in underlying earnings but are reflected in the run-off businesses line in the segment reporting (both in 2011 and in 2010). More details on this transaction are given in note 23.

In December 2010, AEGON publicly announced the decision of its Executive Board to discontinue new sales of executive non-qualified benefit plans and related BOLI/COLI business in the United States. Earnings from the BOLI/COLI business are no longer reported in underlying earnings but reflected in the run-off businesses line in the segment reporting (both in 2011 and 2010).

The comparative figures, affecting the Americas segment, regarding the underlying earnings and the run-off businesses have been revised as follows:
