Equitable will continue to be a force for good in developing programs and solutions that make a difference and create opportunities for those who have been disadvantaged for far too long.”

Consolidated Results
	Second Quarter
(in millions, except per share amounts or unless otherwise noted)	2020				2019
Total Assets Under Management (“AUM”, in billions)	$	711			$	691
Net income (loss) attributable to Holdings	(4,028		)		363
Net income (loss) attributable to Holdings per common share	(8.96		)		0.74
Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss)	459				559
Non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”)	1.00				1.14

As of June 30, 2020, total AUM was $711 billion, a year-over-year increase of 3% driven by net inflows and market performance over the prior twelve months.

Net income (loss) attributable to Holdings for the second quarter of 2020 was $(4.0) billion compared to $363 million in the second quarter of 2019 driven primarily by non-economic market impacts from hedging and non-performance risk under U.S. GAAP accounting.

Non-GAAP operating earnings in the second quarter of 2020 was $459 million compared to $559 million in the second quarter of 2019 driven primarily by lower fee-type revenue on lower average separate account values, a decrease in net investment income due to losses on our alternative investment portfolio, and excess claims related to COVID-19.

As of June 30, 2020, book value per common share, including accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), was $37.42. Book value per common share, excluding AOCI, was $28.68.

Business Highlights

• Business segment highlights:
  • Individual Retirement saw Structured Capital Strategies (“SCS”) sales increase by 7% year-over-year in the retail channel and introduced new features to SCS in May.
  • Group Retirement generated net flows of $216 million, an increase of 32% year-over-year driven by strong renewal contributions and improved retention.
  • Investment Management and Research (AllianceBernstein or “AB”)² reported net flows of $4.6 billion excluding expected low-fee AXA redemptions of $7.9 billion.
  • Protection Solutions continues to drive momentum in its Employee Benefits business with strong persistency and year-over-year growth in gross premiums.
    
    
• Capital management program:
  • Returned $102 million to shareholders in the second quarter, including $77 million of quarterly cash dividends and $25 million of share repurchases.
  • As part of the Company’s 2020 capital management program, it has returned $376 million to shareholders on a year-to-date basis, or $776 million including the $400 million of share repurchases accelerated into 2019.
  • The Company expects to continue delivering on its 50-60% target payout ratio.
    
    
• Continued to successfully execute on strategic priorities:
  • Achieved net savings run rate of $68 million, and the Company remains on track to deliver $75 million pre-tax productivity gains, net of reinvestment, by year-end. In addition, Holdings recognized an incremental $25 million of expense savings relative to expectations in the second quarter. The Company believes that a portion of these savings will translate into permanent run rate opportunities and has commenced work to quantify expected benefits.
  • Completed execution of the Company’s general account rebalance in the third quarter of 2019 and delivered the $160 million annualized net investment income goal.
    

• Strong capitalization and liquidity:
  • Combined RBC ratio (under the new NAIC formula) of approximately 415%, reflecting $1.2 billion distribution from Equitable Financial in May.
  • As of June 30, 2020, cash and liquid assets were c. $2.1 billion at Holdings, net of tax payable, and $3.6 billion at Equitable Financial. 

 

Business Segment Results

Individual Retirement

(in millions, unless otherwise noted)	Q2 2020					Q2 2019
Account value (in billions)	$	103.8				$	104.3
Segment net flows	(53		)			(92		)
Operating earnings (loss)	350					359

• Account value decreased by $0.5 billion driven primarily by net outflows over the prior twelve months.
• Net flows of $(53) million improved compared to the second quarter of 2019 as lower first year premiums were offset by greater retention, and anticipated outflows from the fixed rate living benefits block were partially offset by inflows from the current product offering of less capital-intensive products.
• Operating earnings decreased from $359 million to $350 million versus the prior year quarter primarily due to lower fee-type revenue on lower average account values and a decline in net investment income driven by alternatives performance.

Group Retirement

(in millions, unless otherwise noted)	Q2 2020				Q2 2019
Account value (in billions)	$	37.1			$	36.1
Segment net flows	216				164
Operating earnings (loss)	90				95

• Account value increased by 3% driven primarily by net inflows and market performance over the prior twelve months.
• Net flows of $216 million improved by $52 million versus the prior year quarter primarily driven by strong renewal contributions and greater retention.
• Operating earnings decreased from $95 million to $90 million primarily driven by lower net investment income due to alternatives performance.

Investment Management and Research

(in millions, unless otherwise noted)	Q2 2020				Q2 2019
Total AUM (in billions)	$	600.0			$	580.8
Segment net flows (in billions)	(3.3		)		9.5
Operating earnings (loss)	92				80

• AUM increased by 3% due to strong investment performance and net inflows over the prior twelve months.
• Second quarter net outflows of $3.3 billion were driven by $7.9 billion of expected low-fee AXA redemptions. Excluding these redemptions, second quarter net flows were $4.6 billion.
• Operating earnings increased from $80 million to $92 million primarily driven by lower operating expenses related to employee compensation and benefits and promotion and servicing expenses.

Protection Solutions

(in millions)	Q2 2020					Q2 2019
Gross written premiums	$	693				$	746
Annualized premiums	57					63
Operating earnings (loss)	(12		)			106

• Gross written premiums decreased 7% versus the prior year quarter as strong growth in Employee Benefits was offset by declines in Life premiums.
• Annualized premiums decreased 10% versus the prior year quarter primarily driven primarily by lower premiums in our Life business.
• Operating earnings (loss) decreased from $106 million to $(12) million primarily driven by excess claims during the COVID-19 period and lower net investment income due to alternatives performance. Excess claims during the COVID-19 period net of reinsurance and reserves were approximately $60 million in the second quarter, below prior guidance.

Corporate and Other

Operating loss of $61 million compared to operating loss of $81 million in the prior year quarter driven primarily by lower policyholders’ benefits in run-off blocks and lower interest credited due to lower interest rates.

Modeling Considerations

• COVID-19: the Company currently estimates a net operating earnings impact of $30-60 million per 100,000 excess COVID-19 related deaths. This estimate has been revised from previous guidance of $100-130 million net impact per 100,000 deaths.
• GMxB hedging sensitivity (GAAP treatment): following full implementation of the Company’s economic model and adoption of NAIC VA reform, the mismatch between derivative assets and GAAP liabilities has increased, thereby magnifying the Company’s GAAP Net income sensitivity. As such, Holdings is revising its prior guidance related to Variable annuity product features from $700 million to $1.0-1.3 billion per annum assuming a base case scenario of 6.5% equity markets and interest rates increasing 10 basis points. Further, following adoption of NAIC VA reform, the Company’s Statutory sensitivity has increased, resulting in a revised options budget guidance of $200-250 million per annum, compared to $100-150 million previously disclosed and consistent with the Company’s variable annuity cash flow disclosure from the second quarter of 2019.
• Alternative investment portfolio: second quarter 2020 Non-GAAP operating earnings includes a $94 million impact related to higher than expected losses on the Company’s alternative investment portfolio.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we report Non-GAAP Operating Earnings, Non-GAAP Operating EPS, and Book Value per common share, excluding AOCI, each of which is a measure that is not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management principally uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating performance because they present a clearer picture of our operating performance and they allow management to allocate resources. Similarly, management believes that the use of these Non-GAAP financial measures, together with relevant U.S. GAAP measures, provide investors with a better understanding of our results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers and trends of our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to remove from our results of operations the impact of market changes (where there is mismatch in the valuation of assets and liabilities) as well as certain other expenses which are not part of our underlying profitability drivers or likely to re-occur in the foreseeable future, as such items fluctuate from period-to-period in a manner inconsistent with these drivers. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results that are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the U.S. GAAP measures. Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Consequently, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

We also discuss certain operating measures, including AUM, AV, and certain other operating measures, which management believes provide useful information about our businesses and the operational factors underlying our financial performance.

Non-GAAP Operating Earnings

Non-GAAP Operating Earnings is an after-tax non-GAAP financial measure used to evaluate our financial performance on a consolidated basis that is determined by making certain adjustments to our consolidated after-tax net income attributable to Holdings. The most significant of such adjustments relates to our derivative positions, which protect economic value and statutory capital, and are more sensitive to changes in market conditions than the variable annuity product liabilities as valued under U.S. GAAP. This is a large source of volatility in net income.

Non-GAAP Operating Earnings equals our consolidated after-tax net income attributable to Holdings adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following items:

• Items related to variable annuity product features, which include: (i) certain changes in the fair value of the derivatives and other securities we use to hedge these features; (ii) the effect of benefit ratio unlock adjustments related to extraordinary economic conditions or events such as COVID-19; and (iii) changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives reflected within variable annuity products’ net derivative results and the impact of these items on DAC amortization on our SCS product.
• Investment (gains) losses, which includes credit loss impairments of securities/investments, sales or disposals of securities/investments, realized capital gains/losses and valuation allowances;
• Net actuarial (gains) losses, which includes actuarial gains and losses as a result of differences between actual and expected experience on pension plan assets or projected benefit obligation during a given period related to pension, other postretirement benefit obligations, and the one-time impact of the settlement of the defined benefit obligation;
• Other adjustments, which includes restructuring costs related to severance, lease write-offs related to non-recurring restructuring activities, separation costs and impacts related to COVID-19; and
• Income tax expense (benefit) related to the above items and non-recurring tax items, which includes the effect of uncertain tax positions for a given audit period.

Because Non-GAAP Operating Earnings excludes the foregoing items that can be distortive or unpredictable, management believes that this measure enhances the understanding of the Company’s underlying drivers of profitability and trends in our business, thereby allowing management to make decisions that will positively impact our business.

We use the prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 21% while taking into account any non-recurring differences for events recognized differently in our financial statements and federal income tax returns as well as partnership income taxed at lower rates when reconciling Net income (loss) attributable to Holdings to Non-GAAP Operating Earnings.

The table below presents a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to Holdings to Non-GAAP Operating Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:
