The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at, and for the period ended, September 30, 2015, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, as adopted by the European Union (hereafter ‘IFRS’). They do 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 2014 consolidated financial statements of Aegon N.V. as included in Aegon’s Annual Report for 2014. Aegon’s Annual Report for 2014 is available on its website (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. Certain amounts in prior periods may have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, shareholders’ equity or earnings per share.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at, and for the period ended, September 30, 2015, were approved by the Executive Board on November 11, 2015.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in euro (EUR) and all values are rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise stated. The consequence is that the rounded amounts may not add up to the rounded total in all cases.

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

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 2014 consolidated financial statements.

New IFRS accounting standards effective

The following standards, interpretations, amendments to standards and interpretations became effective in 2015:

t  

IAS 19 Employee Benefits – Amendment Employee Contributions;

t  

Annual improvements 2010-2012 Cycle; and

t  

Annual improvements 2011-2013 Cycle.

None of these revised standards and interpretations had a significant effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the period ended September 30, 2015.

For a complete overview of IFRS standards, published before January 1, 2015, that will be applied in future years, and were not early adopted by the Group, please refer to Aegon’s Annual Report for 2014.

Taxes

Taxes on income for the nine-month period, ending September 30, 2015, are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

Judgments and critical accounting estimates

Preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, including the likelihood, timing or amount of future transactions or events, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from the estimates made.

In preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimating uncertainty were not significantly different than those that were applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Actuarial assumption updates

Assumptions are reviewed and updated periodically, typically in the third quarter, based on historical experience and observable market data, including market transactions such as acquisitions and reinsurance transactions.

During the third quarter of 2015, Aegon implemented assumption updates resulting in a net EUR 5 million gain to income before tax. Charges arising from assumption updates included in underlying earnings before tax amounted to EUR 96 million.

t  

A charge for actuarial assumption updates in the Americas Life & Protection business amounted to EUR 17 million, and was primarily related to updated mortality assumptions of active lives and updated lapse assumptions.

t  

Actuarial assumption updates in the Americas Investments & Retirement business resulted in a charge of EUR 79 million and was primarily related to expense assumption updates related to fixed and variable annuity contracts.

In fair value items a favorable amount of EUR 101 million has been recorded primarily reflecting an update of the risk free yield curve to determine Aegon’s liabilities for certain variable annuity contracts as well as economic scenario updates for both fixed and variable annuity contracts.

Exchange rates

Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rates on the balance sheet date. Income, expenses and capital transactions (such as dividends) are translated at average exchange rates or at the prevailing rates on the transaction date, if more appropriate. The following exchange rates are applied for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements:

3. Segment information

Aegon conducts its operations through five primary reporting segments:

1. Aegon Americas: covers business units in the United States, Canada, Brazil and Mexico, including any of the units’ activities located outside these countries;
2. Aegon the Netherlands: covers businesses operating in the Netherlands;
3. Aegon UK: covers businesses operating in the United Kingdom;
4. New Markets: covers businesses operating in Central & Eastern Europe; Asia, Spain and Portugal, as well as Aegon’s variable annuities activities in Europe and Aegon Asset Management that are aggregated as one reportable segment due to their respective size;
5. Holding and other activities: includes financing, employee and other administrative expenses of holding companies.

These segments are based on the business as presented in internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Executive Board which is regarded as the chief operating decision maker.

Aegon’s segment information is prepared by consolidating on a proportionate basis Aegon’s joint ventures and associated companies.

Performance Measure

A performance measure of reporting segments utilized by the Company is underlying earnings before tax. Underlying earnings before tax reflects Aegon’s profit from underlying business operations and excludes components that relate to accounting mismatches that are dependent on market volatility or relate to events that are considered outside the normal course of business.

Aegon believes that its performance measure underlying earnings before tax provides meaningful information about the underlying results of Aegon’s business, including insight into the financial measures that Aegon’s senior management uses in managing the business. Among other things, Aegon’s senior management is compensated based in part on Aegon’s results against targets using underlying earnings before tax. While many other insurers in Aegon’s peer group present substantially similar performance measures, the performance measures presented in this document may nevertheless differ from the performance measures presented by other insurers. There is no standardized meaning to these measures under IFRS or any other recognized set of accounting standards.

The reconciliation from underlying earnings before tax to income before tax, being the most comparable IFRS measure, is presented in the tables in this note.

The items that are excluded from underlying earnings before tax as described further below are: fair value items, realized gain or losses on investments, impairment charges/reversals, other income or charges, run-off businesses and share in earnings of joint ventures and associates.

As of Q3 2015, management decided to change the measurement of underlying earnings before tax by including the impact of model updates as part of ‘Other income/(charges)’ rather than as part of underlying earnings before tax. The models are used to support calculations of our liabilities for insurance and investment contracts sold to policyholders and related assets. Model updates could result in either a strengthening of reserves or a release of reserves held to cover for insurance or investment contracts inforce and the related treatment of deferred acquisition costs or costs of value of business acquired. The reason for this change in measurement is that management believes that these model updates are expected to be non-recurring.

As a result, presentation as part of ‘Other income/(charges)’ would provide better insight to users of Aegon’s financial statements in the actual performance from its underlying business operations. In Q3 2015 an amount of EUR (209) million has been recorded in ‘Other income/(charges)’. The impact of this change in measurement on full year 2014 would have been an increase in Aegon Group consolidated underlying earnings before tax of EUR 82 million and a decrease in ‘Other income/(charges)’ for the same amount for segment reporting purposes. The impact is split between the Americas (EUR 57 million) and New Markets (EUR 26 million). The presentation of the items in the IFRS income statement will remain unchanged and continue to be part of the line ‘Policyholder claims and benefits’.

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 before tax. 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.

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 before tax 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 before tax 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 before tax, 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 before tax and reported under fair value items.

Realized gains or losses on investments

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

Impairment charges/reversals

Impairment charges include impairments on available-for-sale debt securities, shares including the effect of deferred policyholder acquisition costs, mortgage loans and other loan portfolios at amortized cost, joint ventures and associates. Impairment reversals include reversals on available-for-sale debt securities.

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. As of Q3 2015, the impact of model updates used to support calculations of our liabilities for insurance and investment contracts sold to policyholders and related assets are reported under this caption as well (refer to page 9).

Other charges may 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 interim financial statements, 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 results related to 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 the sale of the 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 before tax.

Share in earnings of joint ventures and associates

Earnings from Aegon’s joint ventures in the Netherlands, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, China and Japan and Aegon’s associates in India, Brazil, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Mexico and France are reported on an underlying earnings before tax basis.
