ASU 2018-12: Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944); ASU 2020-11: Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date and Early Application
This ASU provides targeted improvements to existing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for long-duration contracts issued by an insurance entity. The ASU primarily impacts four key areas, including: 1. Measurement of the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited payment contracts. The ASU requires companies to review, and if necessary, update cash flow assumptions at least annually for non-participating traditional and limited-payment insurance contracts. The ASU also prescribes the discount rate to be used in measuring the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited payment long-duration contracts. 2. Measurement of MRBs. MRBs, as defined under the ASU, will encompass certain GMxB features associated with variable annuity products and other general account annuities with other than nominal market risk. 3. Amortization of deferred acquisition costs. The ASU simplifies the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and other balances amortized in proportion to premiums, gross profits, or gross margins, requiring such balances to be amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term of the contracts. 4. Expanded footnote disclosures. The ASU requires additional disclosures including information about significant inputs, judgements, assumptions and methods used in measurement. | In November 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-11 which deferred the effective date of the amendments in ASU 2018-12 for all insurance entities. ASU 2018-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is allowed. For the liability for future policyholder benefits for traditional and limited payment contracts, companies can elect one of two adoption methods. Companies can either elect a modified retrospective transition method applied to contracts in force as of the beginning of the earliest period presented on the basis of their existing carrying amounts, adjusted for the removal of any related amounts in AOCI or a full retrospective transition method using actual historical experience information as of contract inception. The same adoption method must be used for deferred policy acquisition costs. For MRBs, the ASU should be applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. | The Company has finalized key accounting policy decisions and executed the intended implementation plan including modifying actuarial valuation systems, modernizing key finance processes including data sourcing, analytical procedures and reporting, and updating internal controls. The Company is ready for adoption of the guidance as of January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach, except for Market Risk Benefits (MRBs) which will use the full retrospective approach. Based upon the modified retrospective transition method, the Company estimates that the January 1, 2021 transition date impact from LDTI adoption is a decrease in total U.S. GAAP equity of $3.3 billion. This is primarily due to accounting for our variable annuity guarantees that are not currently measured at fair value as MRBs in the extremely low interest rate environment as of January 1, 2021. For full year 2021, U.S. GAAP net income under LDTI basis is estimated to be $2.2 billion higher than the previously reported 2021 net income of ($440) million due to better alignment between MRB liabilities and our economic hedging program. As of December 31, 2021, the impact on total equity is a decrease of approximately $1.1 billion and in line with our prior estimates. The U.S. GAAP net income for full year 2022 is estimated to be positive and less volatile under LDTI. The estimated impact to total U.S. GAAP equity as of December 31, 2022 is expected to be significantly mitigated by the Company’s present use of a near industry low interest rate assumption of 2.25% on GMIB business that results in a positive impact from accounting for its variable annuity guarantees as MRBs under the guidance at December 31, 2022.
