Adoption of ASU 2018-12 [Abstract] |
Adoption of ASU 2018-12 | 3. Adoption of ASU 2018-12 On January 1, 2023, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-12, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts and related amendments (“ASU 2018-12”) with a transition date of January 1, 2021. ASU 2018-12 updated accounting and reporting requirements for long-duration contracts and certain investment contracts issued by insurance entities. We adopted ASU 2018-12 under the modified retrospective approach, except for MRBs, which applied the full retrospective approach. Our consolidated financial statements are presented under the new guidance for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2021. Under ASU 2018-12, we include actual historical cash flows along with best estimate future cash flows to derive the net premium ratio when calculating the LFPB associated with our traditional and limited-payment long-duration contracts. We review and update, if necessary, assumptions used to measure future cash flows included in the net premium ratio at least annually. Historical cash flows included in the net premium ratio are updated for actual experience quarterly and as assumptions are updated. Changes in the measurement of our LFPB result from updates to cash flow assumptions and actual experience, which impacts are reported within policyholder remeasurement gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). We use an upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield (single-A) discount rate when calculating the LFPB. This discount rate is updated quarterly at each reporting date with the impact recognized in OCI. ASU 2018-12 also eliminated loss recognition testing, premium deficiency testing and the provision for adverse deviation for LFPB. ASU 2018-12 introduced the category of MRBs, which are contracts or contract features that provide protection to the policyholder from other-than-nominal capital market risk and expose us to other-than-nominal capital market risk upon the occurrence of a specific event or circumstance, such as death, annuitization or periodic withdrawal. MRBs are required to be measured at fair value, with periodic changes in fair value reported within MRB gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), except for periodic changes to instrument-specific credit risk related to direct policies, which are recognized in OCI. Changes in the fair value of ceded MRB assets and liabilities are also reported within MRB gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). ASU 2018-12 simplified the amortization model for DAC and DAC-like intangible balances, including VOBA, DSI and DFEL. Historically these balances were amortized in proportion to premium or over expected gross profits. They are now amortized on a constant-level basis over the expected term of the contract. Loss recognition testing and impairment testing are no longer applicable for DAC. ASU 2018-12 requires disaggregated rollforwards of the beginning of year to the end of the reporting period balances. We also disclose information about inputs, judgments, assumptions, methods, changes during the period and the effect of these changes on the measurement of applicable balances. In determining the appropriate level of aggregation, we considered our reportable segments, nature and risk characteristics of our products and level of aggregation we used in disclosures presented outside the financial statements. The following table presents the cumulative effect adjustments (in millions), after-tax and shown as increase (decrease), to the components of stockholders’ equity due to the adoption of ASU 2018-12 as of January 1, 2021, by primary accounting topic:
