NEW YORK--()--Equitable Holdings, Inc. (“Equitable Holdings”, “Holdings”, or the “Company”) (NYSE: EQH) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

During these challenging and volatile times, Equitable has a special role to play. I'm proud of the commitment and ingenuity of our people in supporting our communities and continuing to serve, advise and invest wisely for our clients. It is now when we all see the value of our purpose - which is to secure the financial well-being of our clients so they can live long and fulfilling lives.” said Mark Pearson, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Pearson continued, “As important as how we respond, however, is how we’ve prepared. I am extremely proud of what the teams have done over the past decade to build a resilient balance sheet and robust business model. While the economic outlook is uncertain, we are confident in our ability to adapt and create value across a broad range of scenarios. We have a large inforce driving a sustainable revenue stream, a history of developing economically sound products which are even more in demand today, a deep and diverse distribution network providing stability and privileged access, and trusted leadership positions in resilient sectors.”

Further, our balance sheet remains protected by our economic hedging program. As such, we are well-capitalized with an RBC ratio of 450-475% and our liquidity position remains strong. Overall, despite the significant market dislocation and uncertainty we face, I am confident that our balance sheet, business model, and the fantastic people who make up this organization, will ensure that Equitable will continue to be a force for good.”

As of March 31, 2020, total AUM was $646 billion, a year-over-year decrease of 3%.

Net income (loss) attributable to Holdings for the first quarter of 2020 was $5.4 billion compared to $(775) million in the first quarter of 2019 driven primarily by non-economic market impacts from hedging and non-performance risk under U.S. GAAP accounting, as well as the realignment of our long-term GAAP interest rate assumption.

Non-GAAP operating earnings in the first quarter of 2020 increased to $515 million from $509 million in the first quarter of 2019.

As of March 31, 2020, book value per common share, including accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), was $42.86. Book value per common share, excluding AOCI, was $37.78 per share.

Business Highlights

  • Business segment highlights:
    • Individual Retirement first year premiums improved year-over-year driven by 11% growth in Structured Capital Strategies (“SCS”) sales.
    • Group Retirement generated net flows of $128 million, an increase of 20% year-over-year driven by 10% growth in gross premiums.
    • Investment Management and Research (AllianceBernstein or “AB”)2 reported retail gross sales of $24.2 billion, the highest in its history.
    • Protection Solutions continues to drive momentum in its Employee Benefits business with strong year-over-year growth in gross premiums.
  • Capital management program:
    • Returned $274 million to shareholders in the first quarter, including $69 million of quarterly cash dividends and $205 million of share repurchases.
    • Holdings intends to increase its quarterly cash dividend from $0.15 to $0.17 per share in the second quarter.3
    • The Company expects to continue delivering on its 50-60% target payout ratio.
  • Continued to successfully execute on strategic priorities:
    • Achieved net savings run-rate of $57 million, and we remain on track to deliver $75 million pre-tax productivity gains, net of reinvestment, by year-end.
    • Completed execution of the Company’s general account rebalance in the third quarter of 2019 and delivered the $160 million annualized net investment income goal.
  • Strong capitalization and liquidity:
    • As of March 31, 2020, cash and liquid assets were c. $1 billion at Holdings, above our $500 million target, and c. $7 billion at Equitable Life, above our $1 billion target, as a result of hedging based on our economic liabilities.
    • Our combined RBC ratio (under the new NAIC formula) was approximately 450-475%, well in excess of our minimum target RBC of 375-400%, including CTE98 for variable annuities.
  • Realigned GAAP interest rate assumption to reflect current rate environment:
    • We manage the business using an economic framework, and we prudently set our GAAP and statutory reserves by reflecting our best estimate assumptions based on current experience.
    • In light of the recent decline in the 10-year Treasury rate and revised economic outlook, the Company lowered its long-term GAAP interest rate assumption from 3.45% to 2.25%, grading from the 10-year Treasury spot rate curve as of March 31, 2020 over 10 years.
    • This resulted in an unfavorable impact to net income of approximately $1.9 billion, more than offset by economic interest rate hedge gains of approximately 4.4 billion.

Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects upon Equitable Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and its consolidated subsidiaries. “We,” “us” and “our” refer to Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context refers only to Holdings as a corporate entity. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting Holdings will be those anticipated by management. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, all matters that are not historical facts.

These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from expectations or estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements, including, among others: (i) conditions in the financial markets and economy, including equity market declines and volatility, interest rate fluctuations, impacts on our goodwill and changes in liquidity, access to and cost of capital and the impact of COVID-19 and related economic conditions; (ii) operational factors, including reliance on the payment of dividends to Holdings by its subsidiaries, remediation of our material weakness, indebtedness, protection of confidential customer information or proprietary business information, information systems failing or being compromised, strong industry competition and catastrophic events, such as the outbreak of pandemic diseases including COVID-19; (iii) credit, counterparties and investments, including counterparty default on derivative contracts, failure of financial institutions, defaults, errors or omissions by third parties and affiliates and gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity and equity securities; (iv) our reinsurance and hedging programs; (v) our products, structure and product distribution, including variable annuity guaranteed benefits features within certain of our products, complex regulation and administration of our products, variations in statutory capital requirements, financial strength and claims-paying ratings and key product distribution relationships; (vi) estimates, assumptions and valuations, including risk management policies and procedures, potential inadequacy of reserves, actual mortality, longevity, morbidity and lapse experience differing from pricing expectations or reserves, amortization of deferred acquisition costs and financial models; (vii) our Investment Management and Research segment, including fluctuations in assets under management, the industry-wide shift from actively-managed investment services to passive services and potential termination of investment advisory agreements; (viii) legal and regulatory risks, including federal and state legislation affecting financial institutions, insurance regulation and tax reform; (ix) risks related to our controlling stockholder, including conflicts of interest, waiver of corporate opportunities and costs associated with separation and rebranding; and (x) risks related to our common stock and future offerings, including the market price for our common stock being volatile and potential stock price declines due to future sales of shares by existing stockholders.

Forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements, risks, uncertainties and other factors identified in Holdings’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in Holdings’ subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as otherwise may be required by law.

Use of Non-GAAP financial measures

In addition to our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we report Non-GAAP Operating Earnings, Non-GAAP Operating EPS and Book value per share, excluding AOCI & Preferred Stock, each of which is a measure that is not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, together with relevant U.S. GAAP measures, provides a better understanding of our results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers and trends of our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to remove from our results of operations the impact of market changes (where there is mismatch in the valuation of assets and liabilities) as well as certain other expenses which are not part of our underlying profitability drivers or likely to re-occur in the foreseeable future, as such items fluctuate from period-to-period in a manner inconsistent with these drivers. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results that are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the U.S. GAAP measures. Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Consequently, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

We also discuss certain operating measures, including AUM, account value, and certain other operating measures, which management believes provide useful information about our businesses and the operational factors underlying our financial performance.

Non-GAAP Operating Earnings

Non-GAAP Operating Earnings is an after-tax non-GAAP financial measure used to evaluate our financial performance on a consolidated basis that is determined by making certain adjustments to our consolidated after-tax net income attributable to Holdings. The most significant of such adjustments relates to our derivative positions, which protect economic value and statutory capital, and are more sensitive to changes in market conditions than the variable annuity product liabilities as valued under U.S. GAAP. This is a large source of volatility in net income.

Non-GAAP Operating Earnings equals our consolidated after-tax net income attributable to Holdings adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following items:

  • Items related to variable annuity product features, which include: (i) certain changes in the fair value of the derivatives and other securities we use to hedge these features; (ii) the effect of benefit ratio unlock adjustments related to extraordinary economic conditions or events such as COVID-19; and (iii) changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives reflected within variable annuity products’ net derivative results and the impact of these items on DAC amortization on our SCS product.
  • Investment (gains) losses, which includes credit loss impairments of securities/investments, sales or disposals of securities/investments, realized capital gains/losses and valuation allowances;
  • Net actuarial (gains) losses, which includes actuarial gains and losses as a result of differences between actual and expected experience on pension plan assets or projected benefit obligation during a given period related to pension, other postretirement benefit obligations, and the one-time impact of the settlement of the defined benefit obligation;
  • Other adjustments, which includes restructuring costs related to severance, lease write-offs related to non-recurring restructuring activities, separation costs and impacts related to COVID-19; and
  • Income tax expense (benefit) related to the above items and non-recurring tax items, which includes the effect of uncertain tax positions for a given audit period and permanent differences due to the Tax Reform Act.

Because Non-GAAP Operating Earnings excludes the foregoing items that can be distortive or unpredictable, management believes that this measure enhances the understanding of the Company’s underlying drivers of profitability and trends in our business, thereby allowing management to make decisions that will positively impact our business.

We use the prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 21% in 2020 while taking into account any non-recurring differences for events recognized differently in our financial statements and federal income tax returns as well as partnership income taxed at lower rates when reconciling Net income (loss) attributable to Holdings to Non-GAAP Operating Earnings.
