Our forward-looking statements, such as statements concerning exposures, reserves and recoverables, could be affected by the frequency of unpredictable catastrophic events, actual loss experience, uncertainties in the reserving or settlement process, new theories of liability, judicial, legislative, regulatory and other governmental developments, litigation tactics and developments, investigation developments and actual settlement terms, the amount and timing of reinsurance receivable and credit developments among reinsurers.
   Our forward-looking statements could also be affected by competition, pricing and policy term trends, market acceptance, changes in demand, actual market developments, rating agency action, possible terrorism or the outbreak and effects of war. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made.

Explanation:

This exhibit shows the annual ranges of operating income and net income/book value accretion associated with the variable annuity reinsurance business for the next three years under two different interest rate assumptions. The upper table reflects expected interest rates currently used by the company to determine reserves for operating income purposes; the lower table reflects operating income using the “fair value” model interest rates required by derivatives accounting. Both tables use the same equity level assumptions used in the company’s calculation of operating income.

Notes:

 

Equity levels have a significantly greater impact on operating income.

 

 

Interest rates have a significantly greater impact on fair value.

 

 

As of Monday, October 24, the S&P 500 Index was 1,254.

Assumptions:

 

No changes in actuarial assumptions - mortality, lapse, annuitization

 

 

No change in current hedge program - realized gain is net of associated hedges

 

 

Full recognition in benefit reserves of year-on-year changes in equity and interest rate levels

Mortgage-backed securities total $13.8 billion, are rated predominantly AA and comprise 26% of the fixed income portfolio. This compares to a 35% mortgage-backed weighting in representative indices of the U.S. fixed income market. The minimum rating for initial purchases of mortgage-backed securities is AA for agency mortgages and AAA for non-agency mortgages.

Securities issued by Federal agencies with implied or explicit government guarantees total $11.6 billion and represent 93% of the residential mortgage-backed portfolio.

Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities are backed by prime collateral, and broadly diversified in over 130,000 loans. The portfolio’s original loan-to-value ratio is approximately 69% with an average FICO score of 730. With this conservative loan-to-value ratio and subordinated collateral of 9%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 13% and real estate values would have to fall 12% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The current foreclosure rate of ACE’s non-agency RMBS portfolio is 9%.

Commercial mortgage-backed securities of $1.4 billion are rated predominantly AAA, broadly diversified with over 15,000 loans and seasoned with 64% of the portfolio issued before 2006 and 23% of the portfolio issued after 2009. The average loan-to-value ratio is approximately 67% with a debt service coverage ratio in excess of 1.6 and weighted average subordinated collateral of 32%. The cumulative foreclosure rate would have to rise to 42% before principal is impaired. The current foreclosure rate of the portfolio is about 2.5%.

U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Fixed Income Portfolio

ACE prohibits investments in complex structured securities (e.g. CDOs, CLOs) and over-the-counter derivatives and does not permit the use of portfolio leverage.

U.S. Below Investment Grade Corporate Fixed Income Portfolio

ACE manages high yield bonds as a distinct and separate asset class from investment grade bonds. ACE’s allocation to high yield bonds is explicitly set by internal management and is targeted to securities in the upper tier of credit quality (BB/B). Our minimum rating for initial purchase is BB/B.

Six external investment managers are responsible for high yield security selection and portfolio construction.

ACE’s high yield managers have a conservative approach to credit selection and very low historical default experience.

Securities holdings are highly diversified across industries and are subject to a 1.5% issuer limit as a percentage of high yield allocation. The portfolio comprises over 700 issuers with our largest current issuer exposure at $74 million. ACE monitors position limits on a daily basis through an internal compliance system.

Derivative and structured securities (e.g. credit default swaps, CLOs) are not permitted in high yield portfolios.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(in millions of U.S. dollars)

Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In presenting our results, we have included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of book value per common share is provided on the next page.

In presenting our segment operating results, we have shown our performance with reference to underwriting results. Underwriting results are calculated by subtracting losses and loss expenses, policy benefits, policy acquisition costs, and administrative expenses from net premiums earned. We use underwriting results and operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including investment income, other income and expenses, interest and income tax expense, and net realized gains (losses). Life underwriting income includes net investment income and gains (losses) from separate account assets that do not qualify for separate account reporting under GAAP.

Income excluding net realized gains (losses) and the related tax expense (benefit) is a common performance measurement and non-GAAP measure. We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude net realized gains (losses) and net realized gains (losses) included in other income (expense) related to partially owned entities because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. Income excluding net realized gains (losses) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents the reconciliation of Net income to Income excluding net realized gains (losses):
