  • As we wind down our major medical operations, results for Assurant Health are now

included only in net income, and are no longer reflected in net operating income

  • The Company expects to substantially complete its exit of the health insurance market

by end of 2016

  • Net loss in fourth quarter primarily reflects $11.2 million after-tax of severance and
  • ther exit-related costs as well as indirect expenses not included in the previously

established premium deficiency reserves

– Actual losses were in line with the premium deficiency accrual estimate established in third quarter 2015

  • Excluding proceeds from the sale of certain assets to National General, the Company

infused approximately $260 million into Assurant Health to ensure adequate levels of statutory surplus and to fund estimated exit-related charges and claims through the wind-down process

 Health dividends expected to approximate 2015 statutory capital subject to ultimate development of claims, actual expenses needed to wind down operations, recoveries from ACA- risk mitigation payments and regulatory approval

Exhibit 1: Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Assurant uses the following non-GAAP financial measures to analyze the Company’s operating performance for the periods presented in this presentation. Because Assurant’s calculation of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, investors should be careful when comparing Assurant’s non-GAAP financial measures to those of

  • ther companies.

1. Assurant uses book value per diluted share, excluding AOCI, as an important measure of the Company’s stockholder value. Book value per diluted share, excluding AOCI, equals total stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI, divided by diluted shares outstanding. The company believes book value per diluted share, excluding AOCI, provides investors a valuable measure of stockholder value because it excludes the effect of unrealized gains (losses) on investments which tend to be highly variable from period-to-period and other AOCI items. The comparable GAAP measure would be book value per diluted share defined as total stockholders’ equity divided by diluted shares outstanding. Book value per diluted share was $67.05 as of December 31, 2015, as shown in the reconciliation table below.

As of December 31, 2015 $65.29 Change due to effect of including AOCI 1.76 Book value per diluted share $67.05 Book value per diluted share (excluding AOCI)

As of December 31, 2015 $6.06 Other adjustments (4.01) GAAP earnings per diluted share $2.05 Operating earnings per diluted share

2. Assurant uses operating earnings per diluted share ("EPS"), excluding Assurant Health runoff operations, Assurant Employee Benefits and other adjustments, as an important measure of the Company’s stockholder value. Operating earnings per diluted share, excluding Assurant Health run-off

  • perations, Assurant Employee Benefits and other adjustments, equals net operating income of the Company divided by weighted average diluted shares
  • utstanding. The Company believes this measure provides investors a valuable measure of stockholder value because it excludes the effect of net

realized gains (losses) on investments that tend to be highly variable from period to period, catastrophe losses, Assurant Health run-off operations, Assurant Employee Benefits and those events that are unusual and/or unlikely to recur. The comparable GAAP measure would be earnings per diluted share, defined as net income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. Earnings per diluted share was $2.05 as of December 31, 2015, as shown in the following reconciliation table. 54 4. Assurant uses a ratio of debt to total capital, excluding AOCI and Assurant Health runoff operations, as an important measure of the Company’s financial

  • leverage. Assurant’s debt to total capital ratio, excluding AOCI and Assurant Health runoff operations, equals debt divided by the sum of debt and total

stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI and Assurant Health runoff operations. The Company believes that the debt to total capital ratio, excluding AOCI and Assurant Health runoff operations, provides investors a valuable measure of financial leverage, because it excludes the effect of unrealized gains (losses) on investments, which tend to be highly variable from period-to-period, other AOCI items and Assurant Health runoff operations. The comparable GAAP measure would be the ratio of debt to total capital. The debt to total capital ratio as of Dec. 31, 2015 and Dec. 31, 2014 was 20.6 percent and 18.4 percent, respectively, as shown in the following reconciliation table.

Exhibit 1 Continued: Non-GAAP Financial Measures

4Q 4Q 2015 2014 Debt to total capital ratio (excluding AOCI and Assurant Health runoff operations) 23.4% 21.9% Change due to effect of including AOCI (0.4)% (1.8)% Change due to effect of including Assurant Health runoff operations (2.4)% (1.7)% Debt to total capital ratio 20.6% 18.4% 3. Assurant uses operating return on equity ("ROE"), excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), Assurant Health runoff operations, Assurant Employee Benefits and catastrophe losses, as an important measure of the Company’s operating performance. Operating ROE, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), Assurant Health runoff operations, Assurant Employee Benefits and catastrophe losses, equals net operating income for the periods presented divided by average stockholders’ equity for the year to date period, excluding AOCI, Assurant Health runoff operations, Assurant Employee Benefits and catastrophe losses. The Company believes operating ROE, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), Assurant Health runoff

  • perations, Assurant Employee Benefits and catastrophe losses, provides investors a valuable measure of the performance of the Company’s ongoing business,

because it excludes the effect of Assurant Health runoff operations, Assurant Employee Benefits, catastrophe losses, net realized gains (losses) on investments that tend to be highly variable from period-to-period, other AOCI items and those events that are unusual and/or unlikely to recur. The comparable GAAP measure would be GAAP ROE, defined as net income, for the period presented, divided by average stockholders’ equity for the year to date period. Consolidated GAAP ROE for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was 2.9%, as shown in the following reconciliation table.

As of December 31, 2015 12.0% Assurant Health runoff operations (10.6)% Assurant Employee Benefits 1.4% Catastrophe losses (0.6)% Other adjustments 1.8% Change due to effect of including AOCI (1.1)% Annual GAAP return on average equity 2.9% Annual operating return on average equity

Exhibit 1 Continued: Reconciliation of Net Operating Income to Net Income

Note: Additional financial information, including a schedule of disclosed items that affected Assurant’s results by business for the last eight quarters appears on page 21 of the Company’s Financial Supplement, and is located in the Investor Relations section of www.assurant.com. 1. Assurant uses net operating income as an important measure of the Company’s operating performance. Net operating income equals net income, excluding Assurant Health runoff operations, Assurant Employee Benefits, net realized gains (losses) on investments, catastrophe losses and other unusual and/or infrequent items. The Company believes net operating income provides investors a valuable measure of the performance of the Company’s ongoing business, because it excludes the effect of Assurant Health runoff operations, Assurant Employee Benefits, which was sold on March 1, 2016, net realized gains (losses) on investments that tend to be highly variable from period-to-period, and those events that are unusual and/or unlikely to recur.
