NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Nature of Operations

American National Insurance Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “American National” or “the Company”) offer a broad spectrum of insurance products, including individual and group life insurance, annuities, health insurance, and property and casualty insurance. Business is conducted in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are reported in U.S. currency. American National consolidates entities that are wholly-owned and those in which American National owns less than 100% but controls, as well as variable interest entities in which American National is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The interim consolidated financial statements and notes herein are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which management considers necessary for the fair presentation of the interim consolidated statements of financial position, operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows.

The interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in American National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported consolidated financial statement balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance amending the consolidation analysis. The guidance modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities. The guidance eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs. We adopted the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards— The FASB issued the following accounting guidance relevant to American National:

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance that will supersede most existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP. Insurance contracts generally are excluded from the scope of the guidance. For those contracts which are impacted, the transaction price is attributed to the underlying performance obligations in the contract and revenue is recognized as the entity satisfies the performance obligations and transfers control of a good or service to the customer. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of adoption, which is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – (Continued)

 

In May 2015, the FASB issued guidance to expand the disclosures an insurance entity would provide about its short duration contracts. The disclosure about the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses is intended to increase the transparency of significant estimates made in the measuring of those liabilities. It is also intended to provide insight into an insurance entity’s ability to underwrite and anticipate costs associated with claims. The amended guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The guidance affects disclosures only and will not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will change certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The new guidance requires that equity investments be measured at fair value and that changes in fair value are recognized in net income. It also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments and eliminates the disclosure requirements for methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value of financial instruments that are measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The amended guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption to the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will require most leases to be recognized on the statement of financial position. The guidance defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of the identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The accounting applied by a lessor remains largely unchanged. The amended guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption, which is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will significantly change how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do under the current other-than-temporary impairment model. The amended guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption to the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Note 4 – Investment in Securities – (Continued)

 

As of June 30, 2016, the securities with unrealized losses including those exceeding one year were not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. American National has the ability and intent to hold those securities until a market price recovery or maturity. It is not more-likely-than-not that American National will be required to sell them prior to recovery, and recovery is expected in a reasonable period of time. It is possible an issuer’s financial circumstances may be different in the future, which may lead to a different impairment conclusion in future periods.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The credit quality of the mortgage loan portfolio is assessed by evaluating the credit risk of the borrowers. A loan is classified as performing or non-performing based on whether all of the contractual terms of the loan have been met.

Loans not evaluated individually for collectability are segregated by property-type and location, and allowance factors are applied. These factors are developed annually and reviewed quarterly based on our historical loss experience adjusted for the expected trend in the rate of foreclosure losses. Allowance factors are higher for loans of certain property types and in certain regions based on loss experience or a blended historical loss factor.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

American National has granted concessions which are classified as troubled debt restructurings to certain mortgage loan borrowers. Concessions are generally one of, or a combination of, a delay in payment of principal or interest, a reduction of the contractual interest rate or an extension of the maturity date. American National considers the amount, timing and extent of concessions in determining any impairment or changes in the specific allowance for loan losses recorded in connection with a troubled debt restructuring. The carrying value after specific allowance, before and after modification in a troubled debt restructuring, may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment.

Note 6 – Investment Real Estate – (Continued)

 

American National regularly invests in real estate partnerships and joint ventures. American National frequently participates in the design of these entities with the sponsor, but in most cases, its involvement is limited to financing. Through analysis performed by American National, some of these partnerships and joint ventures have been determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). In certain instances, in addition to an economic interest in the entity, American National holds the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity and is deemed the primary beneficiary or consolidator of the entity. The assets of the consolidated VIEs are restricted and must first be used to settle their liabilities. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of American National, as American National’s obligation is limited to the amount of its committed investment. American National has not provided financial or other support to the VIEs in the form of liquidity arrangements, guarantees, or other commitments to third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of its variable interest in the VIEs in 2016 or 2015.

The assets and liabilities relating to the VIEs included in the consolidated financial statements are as follows (in thousands):

The notes payable in the consolidated statements of financial position pertain to the borrowings of the consolidated VIEs. The liability of American National relating to notes payable of the consolidated VIEs is limited to the amount of its direct or indirect investment in the respective ventures, which totaled $36,317,000 and $34,699,000 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The total long-term portion of notes payable, $100,537,000, consists of four notes with the following interest rates: 4.0%, one note with adjusted LIBOR plus LIBOR margin, one note at LIBOR, and one note at the lesser of the Prime Rate or the highest rate permitted by law. Of the long-term notes payable, two notes will mature in 2018 and two notes will mature beyond 5 years. The current portion of notes payable, $39,702,000, maturing in 2016 and 2017, consists of two notes with the following interest: prime plus 0.5%, and a loan with adjusted LIBOR plus LIBOR margin.

For other VIEs in which American National is a partner, it is not the primary beneficiary and these entities are not consolidated, as the major decisions that most significantly impact the economic activities of the VIE require unanimous consent of all partners. The carrying amount and maximum exposure to loss relating to unconsolidated VIEs follows (in thousands):

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. A fair value hierarchy is used to determine fair value based on a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant. American National has evaluated the types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. The classification of assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments – (Continued)

 

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect American National’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models and third-party evaluation, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fixed Maturity Securities and Equity Options—American National utilizes a pricing service to estimate fair value measurements. The estimates of fair value for most fixed maturity securities, including municipal bonds, provided by the pricing service are disclosed as Level 2 measurements as the estimates are based on observable market information rather than market quotes.

The pricing service utilizes market quotations for fixed maturity securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Since fixed maturity securities generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service prepares estimates of fair value measurements for these securities using its proprietary pricing applications, which include available relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. Additionally, an option adjusted spread model is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios.

The pricing service evaluates each asset class based on relevant market information, credit information, perceived market movements and sector news. The market inputs utilized in the pricing evaluation, listed in the approximate order of priority, include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and economic events. The extent of the use of each market input depends on the asset class and the market conditions. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of inputs may change or some market inputs may not be relevant. For some securities, additional inputs may be necessary.

American National has reviewed the inputs and methodology used and the techniques applied by the pricing service to produce quotes that represent the fair value of a specific security. The review confirms that the pricing service is utilizing information from observable transactions or a technique that represents a market participant’s assumptions. American National does not adjust quotes received from the pricing service. The pricing service utilized by American National has indicated that they will only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information available.

American National holds a small amount of private placement debt and fixed maturity securities that have characteristics that make them unsuitable for matrix pricing. For these securities, a quote from an independent broker (typically a market maker) is obtained. Due to the disclaimers on the quotes that indicate that the price is indicative only, American National includes these fair value estimates in Level 3.

For securities priced using a quote from an independent broker, such as the equity options and certain fixed maturity securities, American National uses a market-based fair value analysis to validate the reasonableness of prices received from an independent broker. Price variances above a certain threshold are analyzed further to determine if any pricing issue exists. This analysis is performed quarterly.

Equity Securities—For publicly-traded equity securities, prices are received from a nationally recognized pricing service that are based on observable market transactions, and these securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. For certain preferred stock, current market quotes in active markets are unavailable. In these instances, an estimate of fair value is received from the pricing service. The service utilizes similar methodologies to price preferred stocks as it does for fixed maturity securities. These estimates are disclosed as Level 2 measurements. American National tests the accuracy of the information provided by reference to other services regularly.

Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments – (Continued)

 

Mortgage Loans—The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses on a loan by loan basis by applying a discount rate to expected cash flows from future installment and balloon payments. The discount rate takes into account general market trends and specific credit risk trends for the individual loan. Factors used to arrive at the discount rate include inputs from spreads based on U.S. Treasury notes and the loan’s credit quality, region, property type, lien priority, payment type and current status.

Embedded Derivative—The embedded derivative liability for equity-indexed contracts is measured at fair value and is recalculated each reporting period using equity option pricing models. To validate the assumptions used to price the embedded derivative liability, American National measures and compares embedded derivative returns against the returns of equity options held to hedge the liability cash flows.

The significant unobservable input used to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivatives is equity option implied volatility. An increase in implied volatility will result in an increase in the value of the equity-indexed embedded derivatives, all other things being equal. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the one year implied volatility used to estimate embedded derivative value was 17.1% and 17.5%, respectively.

Other Financial Instruments—Other financial instruments classified as Level 3 measurements, as there is little or no market activity, are as follows:

Policy loans—The carrying value of policy loans is the outstanding balance plus any accrued interest. Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans such that they cannot be separated from the policy contracts and the unpredictable timing of repayments and the fact that settlement is at outstanding value, American National believes the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value.

Investment contracts —The carrying value of investment contracts is equivalent to the accrued account balance. The accrued account balance consists of deposits, net of withdrawals, plus or minus interest credited, fees and charges assessed and other adjustments. American National believes that the carrying value of investment contracts approximates fair value because the majority of these contracts’ interest rates reset to current rates offered at anniversary.

Notes payable— Notes payable are carried at outstanding principal balance. The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value because the underlying interest rates approximate market rates at the balance sheet date.

Within the net gain (loss) for derivatives included in net investment income were unrealized gains of $19,745,000 relating to assets still held at June 30, 2016 and losses of $10,602,000 at June 30, 2015.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value hierarchies. The transfers into Level 3 were the result of existing securities no longer being priced by the third-party pricing service at the end of the period. American National’s valuation of these securities involves judgment regarding assumptions market participants would use including quotes from independent brokers.

Note 11 – Liability for Unpaid Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses

The liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses (“claims”) for accident and health, and property and casualty insurance is included in “Policy and contract claims” in the consolidated statements of financial position and is the amount estimated for claims that have been reported but not settled and IBNR claims. Liability for unpaid claims are estimated based upon American National’s historical experience and actuarial assumptions that consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends and risk management programs and reduced for anticipated salvage and subrogation. The effects of the changes are included in the consolidated results of operations in the period in which the changes occur.

The net and gross reserve calculations have shown favorable development as a result of favorable loss emergence compared to what was implied by the loss development patterns used in the original estimation of losses in prior years. Estimates for ultimate incurred claims attributable to insured events of prior years decreased by approximately $16,628,000 during the first six months of 2016 and decreased by approximately $14,189,000 during the first six months of 2015, reflecting lower-than-anticipated losses in the multi-peril line of business.

American National made income tax payments of $35,458,000 and $25,080,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In the first quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a $10,167,000 tax benefit associated with the reduction of a deferred tax liability, when a determination was made that no tax would be due on the restructuring of a subsidiary ownership interest.

Management believes that a sufficient level of taxable income will be achieved over time to utilize the deferred tax assets in the consolidated federal tax return; therefore, no valuation allowance was recorded as of June 30, 2016 and 2015. There are no ordinary loss tax carryforwards that will expire by December 31, 2016.

The statute of limitations for the examination of federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service for years 2006 to 2009 has been extended. In the opinion of management, all prior year deficiencies have been paid or adequate provisions have been made for any tax deficiencies that may be upheld. No provision for penalties was established, however, management has accrued interest in the amount of $2.6 million, net of tax, in the first quarter of 2016 relating to a dispute with the Internal Revenue Service. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax benefits that could be recognized within the next twelve months that would decrease American National’s effective tax rate.

Stock-based compensation

American National has one stock-based compensation plan, which allows for grants of Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights (“SAR”), Restricted Stock (“RS”) Awards, Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”), Performance Awards, Incentive Awards or any combination thereof. This plan is administered by the American National Board Compensation Committee. Incentive awards under this plan are made to officers meeting established performance objectives. All awards are subject to review and approval both at the time of setting applicable performance objectives and at payment of the awards. The number of shares available for grants under the plan cannot exceed 2,900,000 shares, and no more than 200,000 shares may be granted to any one individual in any calendar year. Grants are made to certain officers and directors as compensation and to align their interests with those of other shareholders.

The SARs give the holder the right to cash compensation based on the difference between the stock price on the grant date and the stock price on the exercise date. The SARs vest at a rate of 20% per year for five years and expire five years after vesting.

RS awards entitle the participant to full dividend and voting rights. Each RS share awarded has the value of one share of restricted stock and vests 10 years from the grant date. Unvested shares are restricted as to disposition, and are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The restrictions on these awards lapse after 10 years and most of these awards feature a graded vesting schedule in the case of the retirement of an award holder. Restricted stock awards for 350,334 shares have been granted at an exercise price of zero, of which 76,000 shares are unvested.

RSU awards allow the recipient of the awards to settle the vested RSUs in either shares of American National’s common stock or cash. RSUs vest after a three-year graded vesting requirement or over a shorter period as a result of death, disability or retirement after age 65.

Statutory Capital and Surplus

Risk Based Capital (“RBC”) is a measure insurance regulators use to evaluate the capital adequacy of American National Insurance Company and its insurance subsidiaries. RBC is calculated using formulas applied to certain financial balances and activities that consider, among other things, investment risks related to the type and quality of investments, insurance risks associated with products and liabilities, interest rate risks and general business risks. Insurance companies that do not maintain capital and surplus at a level at least 200% of the authorized control level RBC are required to take certain actions. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, American National Insurance Company’s statutory capital and surplus was $2,920,318,000 and $2,925,935,000, respectively. American National Insurance Company and each of its insurance subsidiaries had statutory capital and surplus at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, substantially above 200% of the authorized control level.

American National and its insurance subsidiaries prepare statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the state of domicile, which include certain components of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (“NAIC Codification”). NAIC Codification is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting practices continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices. Modifications by the various state insurance departments may impact the statutory capital and surplus of American National Insurance Company and its insurance subsidiaries.

Statutory accounting differs from GAAP primarily by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, and valuing securities on a different basis. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting principles and are charged directly to surplus.

One of American National’s insurance subsidiaries has been granted a permitted practice from the Missouri Department of Insurance to record as the valuation of its investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary that is the attorney-in-fact for a Texas domiciled insurer, the statutory capital and surplus of the Texas domiciled insurer. This permitted practice increases the statutory capital and surplus of both American National Insurance Company and the Missouri domiciled insurance subsidiary by $64,555,000 and $64,225,000 at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively. Additionally, the statutory capital and surplus of both American National Insurance Company and the Missouri domiciled insurance subsidiary would have remained substantially above the company action level RBC had it not used the permitted practice.

Dividends

American National Insurance Company’s payment of dividends to stockholders is restricted by statutory regulations. The restrictions require life insurance companies to maintain minimum amounts of capital and surplus, and in the absence of special approval, limit the payment of dividends to the greater of the prior year’s statutory net income from operations, or 10% of prior year statutory surplus. American National Insurance Company is permitted to pay total dividends of $292,593,000 during 2016, without prior approval of the Texas Department of Insurance. Similar restrictions on amounts that can transfer in the form of dividends, loans, or advances to American National Insurance Company apply to its insurance subsidiaries.

Noncontrolling interests

American National County Mutual Insurance Company (“County Mutual”) is a mutual insurance company that is owned by its policyholders. American National has a management agreement that effectively gives it control of County Mutual. As a result, County Mutual is included in the consolidated financial statements of American National. Policyholder interests in the financial position of County Mutual are reflected as noncontrolling interest of $6,750,000 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

American National Insurance Company and its subsidiaries exercise significant control or ownership of various joint ventures, resulting in their consolidation into American National’s consolidated financial statements. The interests of the other partners in the consolidated joint ventures are shown as noncontrolling interests of $2,038,000 and $3,439,000 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Note 15 – Segment Information

Management organizes the business into five operating segments:

 

    Life—markets whole, term, universal, indexed and variable life insurance on a national basis primarily through career, multiple-line, and independent agents as well as direct marketing channels.

 

    Annuity—offers fixed, indexed, and variable annuity products. These products are primarily sold through independent agents, brokers, and financial institutions, along with multiple-line and career agents.

 

    Health—primary lines of business are Medicare Supplement, stop loss, other supplemental health products and credit disability insurance. Health products are typically distributed through independent agents and managing general underwriters.

 

    Property and Casualty—writes personal, agricultural and targeted commercial coverages and credit-related property insurance. These products are primarily sold through multiple-line and independent agents.

 

29


Table of Contents

Note 15 – Segment Information – (Continued)

 

    Corporate and Other—consists of net investment income from investments not allocated to the insurance segments and revenues from non-insurance operations.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to American National’s annual report on Form 10-K. All revenues and expenses specifically attributable to policy transactions are recorded directly to the appropriate operating segment. Revenues and expenses not specifically attributable to policy transactions are allocated to each segment as follows:

 

    Recurring income from bonds and mortgage loans is allocated based on the assets allocated to each line of business at the average yield available from these assets.

 

    Net investment income from all other assets is allocated to the insurance segments in accordance with the amount of capital allocated to each segment, with the remainder recorded in the Corporate and Other business segment.

 

    Expenses are allocated based upon various factors, including premium and commission ratios of the operating segments.

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

American National had aggregate commitments at June 30, 2016, to purchase, expand or improve real estate, to fund fixed interest rate mortgage loans, and to purchase other invested assets of $869,114,000 of which $479,418,000 is expected to be funded in 2016 with the remainder funded in 2017 and beyond.

American National has a $100,000,000 short-term variable rate borrowing facility containing a $55,000,000 sub-feature for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the facility are at the discretion of the lender and would be used only for funding working capital requirements. The combination of borrowings and outstanding letters of credit cannot exceed $100,000,000 at any time. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding letters of credit were $9,501,000 and there were no borrowings on this facility. This facility expires on October 30, 2016. American National expects it will be renewed on substantially equivalent terms upon expiration.

Guarantees

American National has guaranteed bank loans for customers of a third-party marketing operation. The bank loans are used to fund premium payments on life insurance policies issued by American National. The loans are secured by the cash values of the life insurance policies. If the customer were to default on the bank loan, American National would be obligated to pay off the loans. As the cash values of the life insurance policies always equal or exceed the balance of the loans, management does not foresee any loss on these guarantees. The total amount of the guarantees outstanding as of June 30, 2016, was approximately $206,376,000, while the total cash value of the related life insurance policies was approximately $210,638,000.

Litigation

American National and certain subsidiaries, in common with the insurance industry in general, are defendants in various lawsuits concerning alleged breaches of contracts, various employment matters, allegedly deceptive insurance sales and marketing practices, and miscellaneous other causes of action arising in the ordinary course of operations. Certain of these lawsuits include claims for compensatory and punitive damages. We provide accruals for these items to the extent we deem the losses probable and reasonably estimable. After reviewing these matters with legal counsel, based upon information presently available, management is of the opinion that the ultimate resultant liability, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on American National’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations; however, assessing the eventual outcome of litigation necessarily involves forward-looking speculation as to judgments to be made by judges, juries and appellate courts in the future.

Such speculation warrants caution, as the frequency of large damage awards, which bear little or no relation to the economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, continues to create the potential for an unpredictable judgment in any given lawsuit. These lawsuits are in various stages of development, and future facts and circumstances could result in management changing its conclusions. It is possible that, if the defenses in these lawsuits are not successful, and the judgments are greater than management can anticipate, the resulting liability could have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. With respect to the existing litigation, management currently believes that the possibility of a material judgment adverse to American National is remote and no estimate of range can be made for loss contingencies that are at least reasonably possible but not accrued.

Note 17 – Related Party Transactions

American National has entered into recurring transactions and agreements with certain related parties. These include mortgage loans, management contracts, agency commission contracts, marketing agreements, accident and health insurance contracts, and legal services.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Set forth on the following pages is management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 of American National Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (referred to in this document as “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”). This information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1, Financial Statements (unaudited), of this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements that reflect our estimates and assumptions related to business, economic, competitive and legislative developments. Forward-looking statements generally are indicated by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “will” or words of similar meaning and include, without limitation, statements regarding the outlook of our business and expected financial performance. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve various risks and uncertainties. Moreover, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update them. Certain important factors could cause our actual results to differ, possibly materially, from our expectations or estimates. These factors are described in greater detail in Item IA, Risk Factors, in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016, and they include among others:

 

    Economic & Investment Risk Factors

 

    difficult conditions in the economy, which may not improve in the near future, and risks related to persistently low or unpredictable interest rates;

 

    fluctuations in the markets for fixed maturity securities, equity securities, and commercial real estate, which could adversely affect the valuation of our investment portfolio, our net investment income, our retirement expense, and sales of or fees from certain of our products;

 

    lack of liquidity for certain of our investments;

 

    risk of investment losses and defaults;

 

    Operational Risk Factors

 

    differences between actual experience regarding mortality, morbidity, persistency, expense, surrenders and investment returns, and our assumptions for product pricing, establishing liabilities and reserves or for other purposes;

 

    potential ineffectiveness of our risk management policies and procedures;

 

    changes in our experience related to deferred policy acquisition costs;

 

    failures or limitations of our computer, data security and administration systems;

 

    potential employee error or misconduct, which may result in fraud or adversely affect the execution and administration of our policies and claims;

 

    Catastrophic Event Risk Factors

 

    natural or man-made catastrophes, pandemic disease, or other events resulting in increased claims activity from catastrophic loss of life or property;

 

    the effects of unanticipated events on our disaster recovery and business continuity planning;

 

    Marketplace Risk Factors

 

    the highly competitive nature of the insurance and annuity business;

 

    potential difficulty in attraction and retention of qualified employees and agents;

 

    the introduction of alternative healthcare solutions or changes in federal healthcare policy, both of which could impact our supplement healthcare business;

 

32


Table of Contents
    Litigation and Regulation Risk Factors

 

    adverse determinations in litigation or regulatory proceedings which may result in significant financial losses and harm our reputation;

 

    significant changes in government regulation;

 

    changes in tax law;

 

    changes in statutory or U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), practices or policies;

 

    Reinsurance and Counterparty Risk Factors

 

    potential changes in the availability, affordability, adequacy and collectability of reinsurance protection;

 

    potential default or failure to perform by the counterparties to our reinsurance arrangements and derivative instruments;

 

    Other Risk Factors

 

    potentially adverse rating agency actions; and

 

    control of our company by a small number of stockholders.

Overview

Chartered in 1905, we are a diversified insurance and financial services company offering a broad spectrum of insurance products in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Our headquarters are in Galveston, Texas.

General Trends

American National had no material changes to the general trends, as discussed in the MD&A included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. In addition to GAAP, insurance companies apply specific SEC regulations when preparing the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and notes requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from results reported using those estimates and assumptions. Our accounting policies inherently require the use of judgments relating to a variety of assumptions and estimates, particularly expectations of current and future mortality, morbidity, persistency, expenses, interest rates, and property and casualty loss frequency, severity, claim reporting and settlement patterns. Due to the inherent uncertainty when using the assumptions and estimates, the effect of certain accounting policies under different conditions or assumptions could vary from those reported in the consolidated financial statements.

For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see the MD&A in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016. There have been no material changes in accounting policies since December 31, 2015.

Earnings increased during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to an increase in other policy revenues. Earnings decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due an increase in policyholder benefits.

Premiums and other revenues

Premiums increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to continued renewal growth in our term products.

Other policy revenues include mortality charges, earned policy service fees and surrender charges on interest-sensitive life insurance policies. The increase in other policy revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 is attributable to an increase in mortality charges resulting from an increase in insurance in-force.

Life insurance sales are based on the total yearly premium that insurance companies would expect to receive if all recurring premium policies would remain in force, plus 10% of single and excess premiums and 15% of credit life premium. Life insurance sales measure activity associated with gaining new insurance business in the current period whereas GAAP premium revenues are associated with policies sold in current and prior periods; therefore, a reconciliation of premium revenues and insurance sales is not meaningful.

Life insurance sales increased slightly during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015. Universal life sales were the main driver of the increase but were partially offset by lower sales of traditional life products.

Benefits, losses and expenses

Policyholder benefits increased during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to an increase in claims with higher face amounts on a block of older aged policyholders.

Commissions decreased slightly during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015. Commissions increased slightly during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to increased sales of universal life products.

Variable annuity premiums have shown a declining trend in recent years. These net inflows are mostly renewal and first year deposits into group unallocated separate account funds with no minimum guarantees. A small proportion of the variable annuity premium is renewal deposits into a closed block of older retail variable annuities that do have guaranteed minimum death benefits, but with minimal risk exposure. Our total direct exposure on the guaranteed minimum death benefits associated with these products was $1.0 million and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Benefits, losses and expenses

Policyholder benefits consist of annuity payments and reserve increases for single premium immediate annuity contracts. Reserve increases are highly correlated to the sales volume of SPIA contracts. The level of benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, was commensurate with increases in SPIA premium during these periods.

Commissions increased during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 driven by the increase in fixed deferred, single premium immediate, and equity-indexed annuity sales.

The amortization of DAC as a percentage of gross profits is an important ratio for the Annuity segment. Changes in this ratio reflect the impact of emerging experience. The ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 35.9%, and 40.9%, respectively. The decrease in the 2016 ratio was directly related to lower surrenders.

Options and Derivatives

The S&P 500 Index return increased by approximately 2.7% and 0.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This change led to an increase in the option return of approximately $3.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015. Along with the increase in the S&P 500 Index return, declines in interest rates during 2016 led to a $9.1 million increase in embedded derivative gains, which out-paced option returns, resulting in a $5.7 million net decrease in earnings.

Net investment income without option return increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to higher aggregate account values.

The following table summarizes the incremental impact of the investment performance of equity-indexed options or “option return” on net investment income, and the impact of the equity-indexed annuity embedded derivatives to interest credited to policyholder’s account balances (in thousands):

Earned premiums decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to risk management initiatives related to the MGU business that significantly decreased sales. Medicare supplement earned premiums decreased during these periods due to lapses that were greater than new sales compounded by the continuing shift in the composition of that block from comprehensive higher premium plans to the lower premium high deductible plan. Supplemental insurance sales began to see an increase when compared to the previous calendar quarter, as the supplemental product portfolio became more widely approved and distributed; however, the increase was not able to offset the continued shrinkage of in-force policies.

Total in-force policies decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to levels of lapsation that were greater than new sales, and the continued shrinkage of the closed Medical Expense and All Other blocks.

Benefits, losses and expenses

Claims incurred remained at similar levels when comparing the second quarter of 2016 to the same period in 2015, but with the decrease in premium, the percentage of benefits to premiums rose. The decrease in commissions is a result of the lower sales. The decrease in other operating expenses is associated with the decline in the number of policies.

Earnings decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015, as a result of non-catastrophe claims. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 earnings were impacted by higher catastrophe losses during the three months ended March 31, 2016, partially offset by an improvement in non-catastrophe combined ratio.

Premiums and other revenues

Net premiums written and earned increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 for all major lines of business. The largest increases were in the collateral protection and personal automobile lines of business.

Benefits, losses and expenses

Claims increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to an increase in frequency and severity of claims related to the automobile lines of business. Additionally, earnings decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 due to an increase in catastrophe claims.

Commissions for acquiring and servicing policies increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015, primarily as a result of the growth of the collateral protection and mortgage security insurance lines of business.

Operating expenses increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 as a result of costs related to growth initiatives.

The loss and combined ratio increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to an increase in frequency and severity of claims compared to the prior year.

Homeowner: Net premiums written and earned increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to increases in sales of homeowner products to renters. The combined ratio decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015, due to decreases in non-catastrophe claim activity compared to the prior year.

Other Personal: These products include watercraft, rental-owner and umbrella coverages for individuals seeking to protect their personal property and liability not covered within their home and auto policies. The loss ratio decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to an umbrella claim re-designation from personal lines to commercial lines.

Other Commercial: Net premiums written and earned increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to increased sales of mortgage security insurance. This increase was partially offset by an increase in reinsurance premium for the workers compensation and umbrella lines of business. The increase in the combined ratios for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 is primarily due to the increase of reinsurance premium.

Agricultural Business: Our agricultural business product allows policyholders to customize and cover their agriculture exposure using a package policy which includes coverage for residences and household contents, farm buildings and building contents, personal and commercial liability and personal property. Net premiums written and earned increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015, primarily as a result of improved rate adequacy. The loss and combined ratio decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to a decrease in catastrophe losses.

Earnings decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to a decrease in realized investment gains and net investment income. The decrease in realized investment gains is attributable to a decrease in the sale of equity securities and certain real estate holdings in unconsolidated joint ventures compared to 2015.

Investments

We manage our investment portfolio to optimize the rate of return commensurate with sound and prudent asset selection and to maintain a well-diversified portfolio. Our investment operations are regulated primarily by the state insurance departments where the insurance subsidiaries are domiciled. Investment activities, including setting investment policies and defining acceptable risk levels, are subject to oversight by our Board of Directors, which is assisted by our Finance Committee and Management Risk Committee.

Our insurance and annuity products are primarily supported by investment-grade bonds, and to a lesser extent collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage loans. We purchase fixed maturity securities and designate them as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale considering our estimated future cash flow needs.

Table of Contents

We also monitor the composition of our fixed maturity securities classified as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale and adjust the mix within the portfolio as investments mature or new investments are purchased. We invest in commercial mortgage loans when the yield and credit risk compare favorably with fixed maturity securities. Individual residential mortgage loans including sub-prime or Alt-A mortgage loans have not been and are not expected to be part of our investment portfolio. We purchase real estate and equity investments based on a risk and reward analysis where we believe there are opportunities for enhanced returns.

The increase in our total investments at June 30, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015 was primarily a result of the purchase of bonds available-for-sale and increased mortgage loan activity.

Bonds—We allocate most of our fixed maturity securities to support our insurance business. At June 30, 2016, our fixed maturity securities had an estimated fair value of $13.8 billion, which was $0.8 billion, or 5.8%, above amortized cost. At December 31, 2015, our fixed maturity securities had an estimated fair value of $13.2 billion, which was $0.2 billion, or 1.6%, above amortized cost. The estimated fair value for securities, due in one year or less, remained constant at approximately $0.5 billion as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, primarily as a result of maturities.

Mortgage Loans— We invest in commercial mortgage loans that are diversified by property type and geography. Generally, mortgage loans are secured by first liens on income-producing real estate with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 75%. Mortgage loans are carried at outstanding principal balances, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses, and net of allowances. The weighted average coupon yield on the principal funded for mortgage loans was 4.8% and 4.4% at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. It is likely that the weighted average yield on funded mortgage loans will decline as loans mature and new loans are originated with lower rates in the current interest rate environment.

Investment Real Estate—We invest in commercial real estate where positive cash flows and/or appreciation in value is expected. Real estate may be owned directly by our insurance companies or non-insurance affiliates or indirectly in joint ventures with real estate developers or investors we determine share our perspective regarding risk and return relationships. The carrying value of real estate is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and valuation allowances, if any. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the properties.

Short-Term Investments—Short-term investments are primarily commercial paper rated A2 or P2 or better by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, respectively. The amount fluctuates depending on our view of the desirability of investing in the available long-term investment opportunities and our liquidity needs, including mortgage investment-funding commitments.

Policy Loans—For certain life insurance products, policyholders may borrow funds using the policy’s cash value as collateral. The maximum amount of the policy loan depends upon the policy’s surrender value. As of June 30, 2016, we had $388.8 million in policy loans with a loan to surrender value of 65.4%, and at December 31, 2015, we had $407.5 million in policy loans with a loan to surrender value of 61.3%. Interest rates on policy loans primarily range from 3.0% to 12.0% per annum. Policy loans may be repaid at any time by the policyholder and have priority to any claims on the policy. If the policyholder fails to repay the policy loan, funds are withdrawn from the policy’s benefits.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized Gains (Losses)

Net investment income decreased $6.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to lower earned rates on invested assets.

Interest income on mortgage loans is accrued on the principal amount of the loan at the contractual interest rate. Accretion of discounts is recorded using the effective yield method. Interest income, accretion of discounts and prepayment fees are reported in net investment income. Interest is not accrued on loans generally more than 90 days past due or when the collection of interest is not considered probable. Loans in foreclosure are placed on non-accrual status. Interest received on non-accrual status mortgage loans is included in net investment income in the period received.

Net realized gains decreased $40.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to a decrease in the sale of certain real estate holdings in unconsolidated joint ventures. Other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities decreased $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015.

Net Unrealized Gains and Losses

The net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $1.04 billion and $0.76 billion, respectively. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized as other comprehensive income or loss which has no impact on earnings. The gross unrealized gains of available-for-sale securities increased $195.6 million to $1.09 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2016, resulting from increases in the value of bonds and equity securities. The gross unrealized losses of available-for-sale securities changed favorably by $81.9 million, going from $131.4 million at December 31, 2015 to $49.5 million at June 30, 2016. The gross unrealized gains of held-to-maturity securities increased $187.4 million to $493.4 million and gross unrealized losses decreased from $159.8 million at December 31, 2015 to $55.2 million in June 30, 2016.

The fair value of our investment securities is affected by various factors, including volatility of financial markets, changes in interest rates and fluctuations in credit spread. We currently have the ability and intent to hold those securities in unrealized loss positions until a market price recovery or maturity. Further, it is unlikely that we will be required to sell them prior to recovery, and recovery is expected in a reasonable period of time.

Liquidity

Our liquidity requirements have been and are expected to continue to be met by funds from operations, comprised of premiums received from our customers and investment income. The primary use of cash has been and is expected to continue to be payment of policyholder benefits and claims incurred. Current and expected patterns of claim frequency and severity may change from period to period but continue to be within historical norms. Management considers our current liquidity position to be sufficient to meet anticipated demands over the next twelve months. Our contractual obligations are not expected to have a significant negative impact to cash flow from operations.

Changes in interest rates during 2016 and market expectations for potentially higher rates through 2017, although recently tempered due to economic uncertainty, may lead to an increase in the volume of annuity contracts, which may be partially offset by increases in surrenders. Freezing our defined benefit pension plans will lessen the impact of changes in interest rates on our contributions to these plans. Future contributions to our defined benefit plans are not expected to significantly impact cash flow and are expected to enhance overall funded status. No unusually large capital expenditures are expected in the next 12-24 months. We have paid dividends to stockholders for over 100 consecutive years and expect to continue this trend. There are no other known trends or uncertainties regarding product pricing, changes in product lines or rising costs that would have a significant impact to cash flows from operations.

Funds received as premium payments and deposits are generally invested in bonds and commercial mortgages. Funds are invested with the intent that income from the investments and proceeds from the maturities will meet our ongoing cash flow needs. We historically have not had to liquidate invested assets in order to cover cash flow needs. We believe our portfolio of highly liquid available-for-sale investment securities, including equity securities, is sufficient to meet future liquidity needs as necessary.

Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment position decreased from $650.8 million at December 31, 2015 to $386.3 million at June 30, 2016. The decrease relates primarily to a reduction in short-term investments used to fund additional investments in mortgage loans and construction projects.

A downgrade or a potential downgrade in our financial strength ratings could result in a loss of business and could adversely affect our cash flow from operations.

Further information regarding additional sources or uses of cash is described in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

The lenders for the notes payable have no recourse against us in the event of default by the joint ventures. Therefore, the liability we have for these notes payable is limited to our investment in the respective ventures, which totaled $36.3 million and $34.7 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Statutory Capital and Surplus and Risk-based Capital

Statutory capital and surplus is the capital of our insurance companies reported in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the applicable state insurance departments. RBC is calculated using formulas applied to certain financial balances and activities that consider, among other things, investment risks related to the type and quality of investments, insurance risks associated with products and liabilities, interest rate risks and general business risks. Insurance companies that do not maintain capital and surplus at a level of at least 200% of the authorized control level RBC are required to take certain actions. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, American National Insurance Company’s statutory capital and surplus was $2,920,318,000 and $2,925,935,000, respectively. American National Insurance Company and each of its insurance subsidiaries had statutory capital and surplus at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, substantially above 200% of the authorized control level.

The achievement of long-term growth will require growth in American National Insurance Company’s and our insurance subsidiaries’ statutory capital and surplus. Our subsidiaries may obtain additional statutory capital through various sources, such as retained statutory earnings or equity contributions from us.

Contractual Obligations

Our future cash payments associated with claims and claims adjustment expenses, life, annuity and disability obligations, contractual obligations pursuant to operating leases for office space and equipment, and notes payable have not materially changed since December 31, 2015. We expect to have the capacity to pay our obligations as they come due.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have off-balance sheet arrangements relating to third-party marketing operation bank loans as discussed in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. We could be exposed to a liability for these loans, which are supported by the cash value of the underlying insurance contracts. The cash value of the life insurance policies is designed to always equal or exceed the balance of the loans. Accordingly, management does not foresee any loss related to these arrangements.

Related-Party Transactions

We have various agency, consulting and service arrangements with individuals and entities considered to be related parties. Each of these arrangements has been reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee, which retains final decision-making authority for these transactions. The amounts involved, both individually and in the aggregate, with these arrangements are not material to any segment or to our overall operations. For additional details see Note 17, Related Party Transactions, of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate,

to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Management has monitored the internal controls over financial reporting, including any material changes to the internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
