GENWORTH FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) Formation of Genworth and Basis of Presentation

Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 23, 2003. The accompanying condensed financial statements include on a consolidated basis the accounts of Genworth and our affiliate companies in which we hold a majority voting interest or where we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which we refer to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” unless the context otherwise requires. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We have the following three operating segments:

 

   

Retirement and Protection. We offer and/or manage a variety of protection, wealth management and retirement income products. Our primary insurance products include life and long-term care insurance. Additionally, we offer other Medicare supplement insurance products, as well as care coordination services for our long-term care policyholders. Our wealth management and retirement income products include: a variety of managed account programs and advisor services, financial planning services, fixed and immediate individual annuities. We previously offered variable deferred and group variable annuities offered through retirement plans.

 

   

International. We offer mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance products and related services in multiple markets. We are a leading provider of mortgage insurance products in Canada, Australia, Mexico and multiple European countries. Our products predominantly insure prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. On a limited basis, we also provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk, basis that aids in the sale of mortgages to the capital markets and helps lenders manage capital and risk. We are a leading provider of protection coverages primarily associated with certain financial obligations (referred to as lifestyle protection) in multiple European countries. These lifestyle protection insurance products primarily help consumers meet specified payment obligations should they become unable to pay due to accident, illness, involuntary unemployment, disability or death.

 

   

U.S. Mortgage Insurance. In the United States, we offer mortgage insurance products predominantly insuring prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. We selectively provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk, basis with essentially all of our bulk writings prime-based. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate efficiently and manage capital and risk.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include debt financing expenses that are incurred at our holding company level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, eliminations of inter-segment transactions and the results of non-strategic products that are managed outside of our operating segments. Our non-strategic products include our institutional and corporate-owned life insurance products. Institutional products consist of: funding agreements, funding agreements backing notes (“FABNs”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”).

In January 2011, we discontinued new sales of retail and group variable annuities while continuing to service our existing blocks of business. We continue to offer fixed annuities.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures.

Actual results could differ from those estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary by management to present a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

(2) Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

On January 1, 2011, we adopted new accounting guidance related to goodwill impairment testing when a reporting unit’s carrying value is zero or negative. This guidance did not impact our consolidated financial statements upon adoption, as all of our reporting units with goodwill balances have positive carrying values.

On January 1, 2011, we adopted new accounting guidance related to how investments held through separate accounts affect an insurer’s consolidation analysis of those investments. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2011, we adopted new accounting guidance related to additional disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Not Yet Adopted

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings. This new accounting guidance and related disclosures will be effective for us on July 1, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. This new accounting guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2012. When adopted, we expect to defer fewer costs. The new guidance is effective prospectively with retrospective adoption allowed. We have not yet determined the method nor impact this accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

We generally intend to hold securities in unrealized loss positions until they recover. However, from time to time, our intent on an individual security may change, based upon market or other unforeseen developments. In such instances, we sell securities in the ordinary course of managing our portfolio to meet diversification, credit quality, yield and liquidity requirements. If a loss is recognized from a sale subsequent to a balance sheet date due to these unexpected developments, the loss is recognized in the period in which we determined that we have the intent to sell the securities or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery. The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss during the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $397 million and $558 million, respectively, which was approximately 94% of book value for both periods.

The following represents the activity for credit losses recognized in net income on debt securities where an other-than-temporary impairment was identified and a portion of other-than-temporary impairments was included in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) as of or for the three months ended March 31:

While certain securities included in the preceding tables were considered other-than-temporarily impaired, we expect to recover the new amortized cost based on our estimate of cash flows to be collected. We do not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities prior to recovering our amortized cost.

Despite the considerable analysis and rigor employed on our structured securities, it is at least reasonably possible that the underlying collateral of these investments will perform worse than current market expectations. Such events may lead to adverse changes in cash flows on our holdings of asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities and potential future write-downs within our portfolio of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. We expect our investments in corporate securities will continue to perform in accordance with our conclusions about the amount and timing of estimated cash flows. Although we do not anticipate such events, it is at least reasonably possible that issuers of our investments in corporate securities will perform worse than current expectations. Such events may lead us to recognize potential future write-downs within our portfolio of corporate securities.

Most of the structured securities have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. Given ongoing concern about the housing market and unemployment, the fair value of these securities has declined due to credit spreads that have widened since acquisition. We examined the performance of the underlying collateral and developed our estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. In doing so, we identified certain securities where the non-credit portion of other-than-temporary impairments was recorded in OCI. Based on this evaluation, we determined that the unrealized losses on our mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities represented temporary impairments as of March 31, 2011.

A portion of the unrealized losses in the finance and insurance sector included debt securities where an other-than-temporary impairment was recorded in OCI. Given the current market conditions, including current financial industry events and uncertainty around global economic conditions, the fair value of these debt securities has declined due to credit spreads that have widened since acquisition. In our examination of these

securities, we considered all available evidence, including the issuers’ financial condition and current industry events to develop our conclusion on the amount and timing of the cash flows expected to be collected. Based on this evaluation, we determined that the unrealized losses on these debt securities represented temporary impairments as of March 31, 2011. A subset of the securities issued by banks and other financial institutions represent investments in financial hybrid securities on which a debt impairment model was employed. The majority of hybrid securities retain a credit rating of investment grade and were issued by foreign financial institutions. The fair value of the hybrid securities has been impacted by credit spreads that have widened since acquisition and reflect uncertainty surrounding the extent and duration of government involvement, potential capital restructuring of these institutions, and continued but diminishing risk that income payments may be deferred.

As of March 31, 2011, $4,504 million of our investments (excluding mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities) were subject to certain call provisions.

As of March 31, 2011, securities issued by finance and insurance, utilities and energy, and consumer—non-cyclical industry groups represented approximately 23%, 22% and 11% of our domestic and foreign corporate fixed maturity securities portfolio, respectively. No other industry group comprised more than 10% of our investment portfolio. This portfolio is widely diversified among various geographic regions in the United States and internationally, and is not dependent on the economic stability of one particular region.

As of March 31, 2011, we did not hold any fixed maturity securities in any single issuer, other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, which exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity.

(e) Commercial Mortgage Loans

Our mortgage loans are collateralized by commercial properties, including multi-family residential buildings. The carrying value of commercial mortgage loans is stated at original cost net of prepayments, amortization and allowance for loan losses.

In evaluating the credit quality of commercial mortgage loans, we assess the performance of the underlying loans using both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Certain risks associated with commercial mortgages loans can be evaluated by reviewing both the loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratio to understand both the probability of the borrower not being able to make the necessary loan payments as well as the ability to sell the underlying property for an amount that would enable us to recover our unpaid principal balance in the event of default by the borrower. The average loan-to-value ratio is based on our most recent estimate of the fair value for the underlying property which is evaluated at least annually and updated more frequently if necessary to better indicate risk associated with the loan. A lower loan-to-value indicates that our loan value is more likely to be recovered in the event of default by the borrower if the property was sold. The debt service coverage ratio is based on “normalized” annual net operating income of the property compared to the payments required under the terms of the loan. Normalization allows for the removal of annual one-time events such as capital expenditures, prepaid or late real estate tax payments or non-recurring third-party fees (such as legal, consulting or contract fees). This ratio is evaluated at least annually and updated more frequently if necessary to better indicate risk associated with the loan. A higher debt service coverage ratio indicates the borrower is less likely to default on the loan. The debt service coverage ratio should not be used without considering other factors associated with the borrower, such as the borrower’s liquidity or access to other resources that may result in our expectation that the borrower will continue to make the future scheduled payments.

Of the total carrying value of restricted commercial mortgage loans as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $485 million and $507 million, respectively, related to loans not individually impaired that were evaluated collectively for impairment. There was no provision for credit losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011 related to restricted commercial mortgage loans. A provision for credit losses of $2 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010 related to restricted commercial mortgage loans, which reflected our ending allowance for credit losses balance and was required upon consolidation of securitization entities as of January 1, 2010.

(g) Restricted Other Invested Assets Related To Securitization Entities

We have consolidated securitization entities that hold certain investments that are recorded as restricted other invested assets related to securitization entities. The consolidated securitization entities hold certain investments as trading securities whereby the changes in fair value are recorded in current period income. The trading securities are comprised of asset-backed securities, including residual interest in certain policy loan securitization entities and highly rated bonds that are primarily backed by credit card receivables.

(5) Derivative Instruments

Our business activities routinely deal with fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, currency exchange rates and other asset and liability prices. We use derivative instruments to mitigate or reduce certain of these risks. We have established policies for managing each of these risks, including prohibitions on derivatives

market-making and other speculative derivatives activities. These policies require the use of derivative instruments in concert with other techniques to reduce or mitigate these risks. While we use derivatives to mitigate or reduce risks, certain derivatives do not meet the accounting requirements to be designated as hedging instruments and are denoted as “derivatives not designated as hedges” in the following disclosures. For derivatives that meet the accounting requirements to be designated as hedges, the following disclosures for these derivatives are denoted as “derivatives designated as hedges,” which include both cash flow and fair value hedges.

Approximately $1.1 billion of notional value above is related to derivatives with counterparties that can be terminated at the option of the derivative counterparty and represented a net fair value asset of $195 million as of March 31, 2011.

Cash Flow Hedges

Certain derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded as a component of OCI. We designate and account for the following as cash flow hedges when they have met the effectiveness requirements: (i) various types of interest rate swaps to convert floating rate investments to fixed rate investments; (ii) various types of interest rate swaps to convert floating rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities; (iii) receive U.S. dollar fixed on foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated investments; (iv) pay U.S. dollar fixed on foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash flow exposure on liabilities denominated in foreign currencies; (v) forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge against changes in interest rates associated with future fixed-rate bond purchases and/or interest income; and (vi) other instruments to hedge the cash flows of various forecasted transactions.

The total of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of $864 million, net of taxes, recorded in stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2011 is expected to be reclassified to future net income (loss), concurrently with and primarily offsetting changes in interest expense and interest income on floating-rate instruments and interest income on future fixed-rate bond purchases. Of this amount, $18 million, net of taxes, is expected to be reclassified to net income (loss) in the next 12 months. Actual amounts may vary from this amount as a result of market conditions. All forecasted transactions associated with qualifying cash flow hedges are expected to occur by 2045. No amounts were reclassified to net income during the three months ended March 31, 2011 in connection with forecasted transactions that were no longer considered probable of occurring.

Fair Value Hedges

Certain derivative instruments are designated as fair value hedges. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in net income (loss). In addition, changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged portion of the underlying instrument are reported in net income (loss). We designate and account for the following as fair value hedges when they have met the effectiveness requirements: (i) interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate investments to floating rate investments; (ii) interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate liabilities into floating rate liabilities; (iii) cross currency swaps to convert non-U.S. dollar fixed rate liabilities to floating rate U.S. dollar liabilities; and (iv) other instruments to hedge various fair value exposures of investments.

There were no amounts excluded from the measurement of effectiveness.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges

We also enter into certain non-qualifying derivative instruments such as: (i) interest rate swaps, swaptions and financial futures to mitigate interest rate risk as part of managing regulatory capital positions; (ii) credit default swaps to enhance yield and reproduce characteristics of investments with similar terms and credit risk; (iii) equity index options, equity return swaps, interest rate swaps and financial futures to mitigate the risks associated with liabilities that have guaranteed minimum benefits; (iv) interest rate swaps where the hedging relationship does not qualify for hedge accounting; (v) credit default swaps to mitigate loss exposure to certain credit risk; and (vi) foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate currency risk associated with future dividends from certain foreign subsidiaries to our holding company. Additionally, we provide GMWBs on certain products that are required to be bifurcated as embedded derivatives and have reinsurance agreements with certain features that are required to be bifurcated as embedded derivatives.

We also have derivatives related to securitization entities where we were required to consolidate the related securitization entity as a result of our involvement in the structure. The counterparties for these derivatives typically only have recourse to the securitization entity. The interest rate swaps used for these entities are typically used to effectively convert the interest payments on the assets of the securitization entity to the same basis as the interest rate on the borrowings issued by the securitization entity. Credit default swaps are utilized in certain securitization entities to enhance the yield payable on the borrowings issued by the securitization entity and also include a settlement feature that allows the securitization entity to provide the par value of assets in the securitization entity for the amount of any losses incurred under the credit default swap.

Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, net fair value assets by counterparty totaled $773 million and $888 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, net fair value liabilities by counterparty totaled $191 million and $172 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we retained collateral of $745 million and $794 million, respectively, related to these agreements, including over collateralization of $53 million and $29 million, respectively, from certain counterparties. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we posted $67 million and $30 million, respectively, of collateral to derivative counterparties, including over collateralization of $16 million and $11 million, respectively. For derivatives related to securitization entities, there are no arrangements that require either party to provide collateral and the recourse of the derivative counterparty is typically limited to the assets held by the securitization entity and there is no recourse to any entity other than the securitization entity.

Except for derivatives related to securitization entities, all of our master swap agreements contain credit downgrade provisions that allow either party to assign or terminate derivative transactions if the other party’s long-term unsecured debt rating or financial strength rating is below the limit defined in the applicable agreement. If the downgrade provisions had been triggered as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we could have been allowed to claim up to $81 million and $123 million, respectively, from counterparties and required to disburse up to $4 million and $5 million, respectively. This represented the net fair value of gains and losses by counterparty, less available collateral held, and did not include any fair value gains or losses for derivatives related to securitization entities.

Credit Derivatives

We sell protection under single name credit default swaps and credit default swap index tranches in combination with purchasing securities to replicate characteristics of similar investments based on the credit quality and term of the credit default swap. Credit default triggers for both indexed reference entities and single name reference entities follow the Credit Derivatives Physical Settlement Matrix published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association. Under these terms, credit default triggers are defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay or restructuring, if applicable. Our maximum exposure to credit loss equals the notional value for credit default swaps. In the event of default for credit default swaps, we are typically required to pay the protection holder the full notional value less a recovery rate determined at auction.

In addition to the credit derivatives discussed above, we also have credit derivative instruments related to securitization entities that we consolidated in 2010. These derivatives represent a customized index of reference entities with specified attachment points for certain derivatives. The credit default triggers are similar to those described above. In the event of default, the securitization entity will provide the counterparty with the par value of assets held in the securitization entity for the amount of incurred loss on the credit default swap. The maximum exposure to loss for the securitization entity is the notional value of the derivatives. Certain losses on these credit default swaps would be absorbed by the third-party noteholders of the securitization entity and the remaining losses on the credit default swaps would be absorbed by our portion of the notes issued by the securitization entity.

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Assets and liabilities that are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value are not included in the following disclosure of fair value. Such items include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, separate accounts, securities held as collateral and derivative instruments. Other financial assets and liabilities—those not carried at fair value—are discussed below. Apart from certain of our borrowings and certain marketable securities, few of the instruments discussed below are actively traded and their fair values must often be determined using models. The fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon available market information and judgments about the financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets.

The basis on which we estimate fair value is as follows:

Commercial mortgage loans. Based on recent transactions and/or discounted future cash flows, using current market rates.

Restricted commercial mortgage loans. Based on recent transactions and/or discounted future cash flows, using current market rates.

Other invested assets. Based on comparable market transactions, discounted future cash flows, quoted market prices and/or estimates using the most recent data available for the related instrument. Primarily represents short-term investments, limited partnerships accounted for under the cost method.

Long-term borrowings. Based on market quotes or comparable market transactions.

Non-recourse funding obligations. Based on the then current coupon, revalued based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and current spread assumption based on commercially available data. The model is a floating rate coupon model using the spread assumption to derive the valuation.

Borrowings related to securitization entities. Based on market quotes or comparable market transactions.

Investment contracts. Based on expected future cash flows, discounted at current market rates for annuity contracts or institutional products.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We have fixed maturity, equity and trading securities, derivatives, embedded derivatives, securities held as collateral, separate account assets and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. Below is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to determine fair value by class of instrument.

Fixed maturity, equity and trading securities

The valuations of fixed maturity, equity and trading securities are determined using a market approach, income approach or a combination of the market and income approach depending on the type of instrument and availability of information.

We utilize certain third-party data providers when determining fair value. We consider information obtained from third-party pricing services as well as third-party broker provided prices, or broker quotes, in our determination of fair value. Additionally, we utilize internal models to determine the valuation of securities using an income approach where the inputs are based on third-party provided market inputs. While we consider the valuations provided by third-party pricing services and broker quotes, management determines the fair value of our investment securities after considering all relevant and available information. We also obtain an understanding of the valuation methodologies and procedures used by third-party data providers to ensure sufficient understanding to evaluate the valuation data received and determine the appropriate fair value.

In general, we first obtain valuations from pricing services. If a price is not supplied by a pricing service, we will typically seek a broker quote. For certain private fixed maturity securities where we do not obtain valuations from pricing services, we utilize an internal model to determine fair value since transactions for identical securities are not readily observable and these securities are not typically valued by pricing services. For all securities, excluding certain private fixed maturity securities, if neither a pricing service nor broker quote valuation is available, we determine fair value using internal models.

For pricing services, we obtain an understanding of the pricing methodologies and procedures for each type of instrument. In general, a pricing service does not provide a price for a security if sufficient information is not readily available to determine fair value or if such security is not in the specific sector or class covered by a particular pricing service. Given our understanding of the pricing methodologies and procedures of pricing services, the securities valued by pricing services are typically classified as Level 2 unless we determine the valuation process for a security or group of securities utilizes significant unobservable inputs.

For private fixed maturity securities, we utilize an internal model to determine fair value and utilize public bond spreads by sector, rating and maturity to develop the market rate that would be utilized for a similar public bond. We then add an additional premium to the public bond spread to adjust for the liquidity and other features of our private placements. We utilize the estimated market yield to discount the expected cash flows of the security to determine fair value. We assign each security an internal rating to determine appropriate public bond spread that should be utilized in the valuation. While we generally consider the public bond spreads by sector and maturity to be observable inputs, we evaluate the similarities of our private placement with the public bonds to determine whether the spreads utilized would be considered observable inputs for the private placement being valued. To determine the significance of unobservable inputs, we calculate the impact on the valuation from the unobservable input and will classify a security as Level 3 when the impact on the valuation exceeds 10%.

For broker quotes, we discuss the valuation methodology utilized by the third party but cannot typically obtain sufficient evidence to determine the valuation does not include significant unobservable inputs. Accordingly, we typically classify the securities where fair value is based on our consideration of broker quotes as Level 3 measurements.

For remaining securities priced using internal models, we maximize the use of observable inputs but typically utilize significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value. Accordingly, the valuations are typically classified as Level 3.

Restricted other invested assets related to securitization entities

We have trading securities related to securitization entities that are classified as restricted other invested assets and are carried at fair value. The trading securities represent asset-backed securities. The valuation for trading securities is determined using a market approach and/or an income approach depending on the availability of information. For certain highly rated asset-backed securities, there is observable market information for transactions of the same or similar instruments and is provided to us by a third-party pricing service and is classified as Level 2. For certain securities that are not actively traded, we determine fair value after considering third-party broker provided prices or discounted expected cash flows using current yields for similar securities and classify these valuations as Level 3.

Securities lending and derivative counterparty collateral

The fair value of securities held as collateral is primarily based on Level 2 inputs from market information for the collateral that is held on our behalf by the custodian. We determine fair value after considering prices obtained by third-party pricing services.

Separate account assets

The fair value of separate account assets is based on the quoted prices of the underlying fund investments and, therefore, represents Level 1 pricing.

Derivatives

In determining the fair value of derivatives, we consider the counterparty collateral arrangements and rights of set-off when determining whether any incremental adjustment should be made for both the counterparty’s and our non-performance risk. As a result of these counterparty arrangements, we determined no adjustment for our non-performance risk was required to our derivative liabilities.

Interest rate swaps. The valuation of interest rate swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary input into the valuation represents the forward interest rate swap curve, which is generally considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2. For certain interest rate swaps, the inputs into the valuation also include the total returns of certain bonds that would primarily be considered an observable input and result in the derivative being classified as Level 2. For certain other swaps, there are features that provide an option to the counterparty to terminate the swap at specified dates and would be considered a significant unobservable input and results in the fair value measurement of the derivative being classified as Level 3.

Interest rate swaps related to securitization entities. The valuation of interest rate swaps related to securitization entities is determined using an income approach. The primary input into the valuation represents the forward interest rate swap curve, which is generally considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Inflation indexed swaps. The valuation of inflation indexed swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve and consumer price index, which are generally considered observable inputs, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Interest rate swaptions. The valuation of interest rate swaptions is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve, which is generally considered an observable input, forward interest rate volatility and time value component associated with the optionality in the derivative. As a result of the significant unobservable inputs associated with the forward interest rate volatility input, the derivative is classified as Level 3.

Foreign currency swaps. The valuation of foreign currency swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve and foreign currency exchange rates, both of which are considered an observable input, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Credit default swaps. We have both single name credit default swaps and index tranche credit default swaps. For single name credit default swaps, we utilize an income approach to determine fair value based on using current market information for the credit spreads of the reference entity, which is considered observable inputs based on the reference entities of our derivatives and results in these derivatives being classified as Level 2. For index tranche credit default swaps, we utilize an income approach that utilizes current market information related to credit spreads and expected defaults and losses associated with the reference entities that comprise the respective index associated with each derivative. There are significant unobservable inputs associated with the timing and amount of losses from the reference entities as well as the timing or amount of losses, if any, that will be absorbed by our tranche. Accordingly, the index tranche credit default swaps are classified as Level 3.

Credit default swaps related to securitization entities. Credit default swaps related to securitization entities represent customized index tranche credit default swaps and are valued using a similar methodology as described above for index tranche credit default swaps. We determine fair value of these credit default swaps after considering both the valuation methodology described above as well as the valuation provided by the derivative counterparty. In addition to the valuation methodology and inputs described for index tranche credit default swaps, these customized credit default swaps contain a feature that permits the securitization entity to provide the par value of underlying assets in the securitization entity to settle any losses under the credit default swap. The valuation of this settlement feature is dependent upon the valuation of the underlying assets and the timing and amount of any expected loss on the credit default swap, which is considered a significant unobservable input. Accordingly, these customized index tranche credit default swaps related to securitization entities are classified as Level 3.

Equity index options. We have equity index options associated with various equity indices. The valuation of equity index options is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent forward interest rate volatility and time value component associated with the optionality in the derivative, which are considered significant unobservable inputs in most instances. The equity index volatility surface is determined based on market information that is not readily observable and is developed based upon inputs received from several third-party sources. Accordingly, these options are classified as Level 3

Financial futures. The fair value of financial futures is based on the closing exchange prices. Accordingly, these financial futures are classified as Level 1. The period end valuation is zero as a result of settling the margins on these contracts on a daily basis.

Equity return swaps. The valuation of equity return swaps is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve and underlying equity index values, which are generally considered observable inputs, and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Other foreign currency contracts. We have certain foreign currency options classified as other foreign currency contracts. The valuation of foreign currency options is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward interest rate swap curve, foreign currency exchange rates, forward interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate volatility and time value component associated with the optionality in the derivative. As a result of the significant unobservable inputs associated with the forward interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate volatility input, the derivative is classified as Level 3. We also have foreign currency forward contracts where the valuation is determined using an income approach. The primary inputs into the valuation represent the forward foreign currency exchange rates, which are generally considered observable inputs and results in the derivative being classified as Level 2.

Reinsurance embedded derivatives

We have certain reinsurance agreements that result in a reinsurance counterparty holding assets for our benefit where this feature is considered an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. As a result, we measure the embedded derivatives at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded in income. Fair value is determined by comparing the fair value and cost basis of the underlying assets. The underlying assets are primarily comprised of highly rated investments and result in the fair value of the embedded derivatives being classified as Level 2.

GMWB embedded derivatives

We are required to bifurcate an embedded derivative for certain features associated with annuity products and related reinsurance agreements where we provide a GMWB to the policyholder and are required to record the GMWB embedded derivative at fair value. The valuation of our GMWB embedded derivative is based on an income approach that incorporates inputs such as forward interest rates, equity index volatility, equity index and fund correlation, and policyholder assumptions such as utilization, lapse and mortality. In addition to these inputs, we also consider risk and expense margins when determining the projected cash flows that would be determined by another market participant. While the risk and expense margins are considered in determining fair value, these inputs do not have a significant impact on the valuation.

For GMWB liabilities, non-performance risk is integrated into the discount rate. Prior to the third quarter of 2010, the discount rate was based on the swap curve, which incorporated the non-performance risk of our GMWB liabilities. Beginning in 2009, the swap curve dropped below the U.S. Treasury curve at certain points on the longer end of the curve, and in 2010, the points below the U.S. Treasury curve expanded to several points beyond 10 years. For these points on the curve, we utilized the U.S. Treasury curve as our discount rate through the second quarter of 2010. Beginning in the third quarter of 2010, we revised our discount rate to reflect market credit spreads that represent an adjustment for the non-performance risk of the GMWB liabilities. The credit spreads included in our discount rate range from 60 to 80 basis points over the most relevant points on the U.S. Treasury curve. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the impact of non-performance risk resulted in a lower fair value of our GMWB liabilities of $39 million and $44 million, respectively.

To determine the appropriate discount rate to reflect the non-performance risk of the GMWB liabilities, we evaluate the non-performance risk in our liabilities based on a hypothetical exit market transaction as there is no exit market for these types of liabilities. A hypothetical exit market can be viewed as a hypothetical transfer of the liability to another similarly rated insurance company which would closely resemble a reinsurance transaction. Another hypothetical exit market transaction can be viewed as a hypothetical transaction from the perspective of the GMWB policyholder. We believe that a hypothetical exit market participant would use a similar discount rate as described above to value the liabilities.

For equity index volatility, we determine the projected equity market volatility using both historical volatility and projected near-term equity market volatility with more significance being placed on projected and recent historical data.

Equity index and fund correlations are determined based on historical price observations for the fund and equity index.

For policyholder assumptions, we use our expected lapse, mortality and utilization assumptions and update these assumptions for our actual experience, as necessary. For our lapse assumption, we adjust our base lapse assumption by policy based on a combination of the policyholder’s current account value and GMWB benefit.

We classify the GMWB valuation as Level 3 based on having significant unobservable inputs. We evaluate the inputs and methodologies used to determine fair value based on how we expect a market participant would determine exit value. As stated above, there is no exit market or market participants for the GMWB embedded derivatives. Accordingly, we evaluate our inputs and resulting fair value based on a hypothetical exit market and hypothetical market participants. A hypothetical exit market could be viewed as a transaction that would closely resemble reinsurance. While reinsurance transactions for this type of product are not an observable input, we consider this type of hypothetical exit market, as appropriate, when evaluating our inputs and determining that our inputs are consistent with that of a hypothetical market participant.

Borrowings related to securitization entities

We record certain borrowings related to securitization entities at fair value. The fair value of these borrowings is determined using either a market approach or income approach, depending on the instrument and availability of market information. Given the unique characteristics of the securitization entities that issued these borrowings as well as the lack of comparable instruments, we determine fair value considering the valuation of the underlying assets held by the securitization entities and any derivatives, as well as any unique characteristics of the borrowings that may impact the valuation. After considering all relevant inputs, we determine fair value of the borrowings using the net valuation of the underlying assets and derivatives that are backing the borrowings. Accordingly, these instruments are classified as Level 3.

We review the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3, or between other levels, at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. Our assessment of whether or not there were significant unobservable inputs related to fixed maturity securities was based on our observations obtained through the course of managing our investment portfolio, including interaction with other market participants, observations related to the availability and consistency of pricing, and understanding of general market activity such as new issuance and the level of secondary market trading for a class of securities. Additionally, we considered data obtained from third-party pricing sources to determine whether our estimated values incorporate significant unobservable inputs that would result in the valuation being classified as Level 3.

The transfers in and out of Level 3 were primarily related to private fixed rate U.S. corporate and corporate—non-U.S. securities and resulted from a change in the observability of the additional premium to the public bond spread to adjust for the liquidity and other features of our private placements and resulted in unobservable inputs having a significant impact on certain valuations for transfers in or no longer having significant impact on certain valuations for transfers out.

During 2010, primary market issuance and secondary market activity for commercial and non-agency residential mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities increased the market observable inputs used to establish fair values for similar securities. These factors, along with more consistent pricing from third-party sources, resulted in our conclusion that there is sufficient trading activity in similar instruments to support classifying certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities as Level 2.

Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on Level 3 assets and liabilities are primarily reported in either net investment gains (losses) within the consolidated statements of income or OCI within stockholders’ equity based on the appropriate accounting treatment for the instrument.

Purchases, sales, issuances and settlements represent the activity that occurred during the period that results in a change of the asset or liability but does not represent changes in fair value for the instruments held at the beginning of the period. Such activity primarily consists of purchases, sales and settlements of fixed maturity, equity and trading securities and purchases, issuances and settlements of derivative instruments.

Issuances and settlements presented for policyholder account balances represent the issuances and settlements of embedded derivatives associated with our GMWB liabilities where: issuances are characterized as the change in fair value associated with the product fees recognized that are attributed to the embedded derivative to equal the expected future benefit costs upon issuance and settlements are characterized as the change in fair value upon exercising the embedded derivative instrument, effectively representing a settlement of the embedded derivative instrument. We have shown these changes in fair value separately based on the classification of this activity as effectively issuing and settling the embedded derivative instrument with all remaining changes in the fair value of these embedded derivative instruments being shown separately in the category labeled “included in net (income)” in the tables presented above.

The amount presented for unrealized gains (losses) for assets and liabilities still held as of the reporting date primarily represents impairments for available-for-sale securities, changes in fair value of trading securities and certain derivatives and changes in fair value of embedded derivatives associated with our GMWB liabilities that existed as of the reporting date, which were recorded in net investment gains (losses), and accretion on certain fixed maturity securities which was recorded in net investment income.

(7) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Litigation

We face the risk of litigation and regulatory investigations and actions in the ordinary course of operating our businesses, including class action lawsuits. Our pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings specific to us and others generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which we operate. In our insurance operations, we are, have been, or may become subject to class actions and individual suits alleging, among other things, issues relating to sales or underwriting practices, increases to in-force long-term care insurance premiums, payment of contingent or other sales commissions, bidding practices in connection with our management and administration of a third-party’s municipal guaranteed investment contract business, claims payments and procedures, product design, product disclosure, administration, additional premium charges for premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, charging excessive or impermissible fees on products, recommending unsuitable products to customers, our pricing structures and business practices in our mortgage insurance businesses, such as captive reinsurance arrangements with lenders and contract underwriting services, violations of the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act of 1974 or related state anti-inducement laws, and breaching fiduciary or other duties to customers. Plaintiffs in class action and other lawsuits against us may seek very large or indeterminate amounts which may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In our investment-related operations, we are subject to litigation involving commercial disputes with counterparties. We are also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities such as our contractual and employment relationships. In addition, we are also subject to various regulatory inquiries, such as information requests, subpoenas, books and record examinations and market conduct and financial examinations from state, federal

and international regulators and other authorities. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if we ultimately prevail in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we could suffer significant reputational harm, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. At this time, it is not feasible to predict, nor determine the ultimate outcomes of any pending investigations and legal proceedings, nor to provide reasonable ranges of possible losses.

As previously disclosed, in December 2009, one of our non-insurance subsidiaries, one of the subsidiary’s officers and Genworth Financial, Inc. were named in a putative class action lawsuit captioned Michael J. Goodman and Linda Brown v. Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc., et al, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. In response to our motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, the Court granted on March 30, 2011 the motion to dismiss the state law fiduciary duty claim and denied the motion to dismiss the remaining federal claims. We continue to vigorously defend this action.

As previously disclosed, we and one of our mortgage insurance subsidiaries were named in a putative class action lawsuit filed in November 2010 captioned Archie Moses and Violet M. Moses v. SunTrust Banks, Inc., et al, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. On March 10, 2011, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the action without prejudice as to Genworth Financial, Inc. and our mortgage insurance subsidiary.

(b) Commitments

As of March 31, 2011, we were committed to fund $106 million in limited partnership investments and $39 million in U.S. commercial mortgage loan investments.

(8) Borrowings and Other Financings

Revolving Credit Facilities

We have two five-year revolving credit facilities that mature in May 2012 and August 2012. These facilities bear variable interest rates based on one-month LIBOR plus a margin and we have access to $1.9 billion under these facilities. As of March 31, 2011, we had no borrowings under these facilities; however, we utilized $280 million under these facilities primarily for the issuance of letters of credit for the benefit of one of our life insurance subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2010, we had no borrowings under these facilities; however, we utilized $56 million under these facilities primarily for the issuance of letters of credit for the benefit of one of our lifestyle protection insurance subsidiaries.

Long-Term Senior Notes

In March 2011, we issued senior notes having an aggregate principal amount of $400 million, with an interest rate equal to 7.625% per year payable semi-annually, and maturing in September 2021 (“2021 Notes”). The 2021 Notes are our direct, unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at any time with proper notice to the note holders at a price equal to the greater of 100% of principal or the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest discounted at the then-current treasury rate plus an applicable spread. The net proceeds of $397 million from the issuance of the 2021 Notes were used for general corporate purposes.

Non-Recourse Funding Obligations

As of March 31, 2011, we had $3.4 billion of fixed and floating rate non-recourse funding obligations outstanding backing additional statutory reserves. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the weighted-average interest rates on our non-recourse funding obligations were 1.41% and 1.44%, respectively.

(9) Income Taxes

The reconciliation of the federal statutory tax rate to the effective income tax rate was as follows for the periods indicated:

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2011     2010  

Statutory U.S. federal income tax rate

     35.0     35.0

Increase (reduction) in rate resulting from:

Benefit on tax favored investments

     (2.7     (6.6

Effect of foreign operations

     (14.4     (13.7

Non-deductible expenses

     0.6        (0.5

Interest on uncertain tax positions

     —          (2.2

Tax benefits related to separation from our former parent

     —          (89.5

Other, net

     0.8        2.7   
                

Effective rate

     20.5     (78.2 )% 
                

The effective tax rate increased significantly from the prior year due to uncertain tax benefits related to separation from our former parent in the prior year that did not recur. In connection with our 2004 separation from our former parent, General Electric (“GE”), we made certain joint tax elections and realized certain tax benefits. During the first quarter of 2010, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed an examination of GE’s 2004 tax return, including these tax impacts. Therefore, $106 million of previously uncertain tax benefits related to separation became certain and we recognized those in the first quarter of 2010. Additionally, we recorded $20 million as additional paid-in capital related to our 2004 separation.

(10) Segment Information

We conduct our operations in three operating business segments: (1) Retirement and Protection, which includes our life insurance, long-term care insurance, wealth management products and services and retirement income products; (2) International, which includes international mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance; and (3) U.S. Mortgage Insurance.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include interest and other debt financing expenses, other corporate income and expenses not allocated to the segments, the results of non-strategic products that are managed outside of our operating segments, and eliminations of inter-segment transactions.

We use the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment income (loss) and assets as our consolidated net income (loss) and assets. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of “net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders.” We define net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, after-tax net investment gains (losses) and other adjustments and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. We exclude net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of our net investment gains (losses) is the result of impairments, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to our discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders, and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. However, net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders is not a substitute for net income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of net operating income (loss) available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

There were no infrequent or unusual non-operating items excluded from net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders during the periods presented other than a $106 million tax benefit related to separation from our former parent recorded in the first quarter of 2010.

Overview

Our business

We are a leading financial security company dedicated to providing insurance, wealth management, investment and financial solutions to more than 15 million customers, with a presence in more than 25 countries. We have three operating segments: Retirement and Protection, International and U.S. Mortgage Insurance.

 

   

Retirement and Protection. We offer and/or manage a variety of protection, wealth management and retirement income products. Our primary insurance products include life and long-term care insurance. Additionally, we offer other Medicare supplement insurance products, as well as care coordination services for our long-term care policyholders. Our wealth management and retirement income products include: a variety of managed account programs and advisor services, financial planning services, fixed and immediate individual annuities. We previously offered variable deferred and group variable annuities offered through retirement plans. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our Retirement and Protection segment’s net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders were $112 million and $127 million, respectively.

 

   

International. We offer mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance products and related services in multiple markets. We are a leading provider of mortgage insurance products in Canada, Australia, Mexico and multiple European countries. Our products predominantly insure prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. On a limited basis, we also provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk, basis that aids in the sale of mortgages to the capital markets and helps lenders manage capital and risk. We are a leading provider of protection coverages primarily associated with certain financial obligations (referred to as lifestyle protection) in multiple European countries. These lifestyle protection insurance products help consumers meet specified payment obligations should they become unable to pay due to accident, illness, involuntary unemployment, disability or death. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our International segment’s net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders were $127 million and $124 million, respectively.

U.S. Mortgage Insurance. In the United States, we offer mortgage insurance products predominantly insuring prime-based, individually underwritten residential mortgage loans, also known as flow mortgage insurance. We selectively provide mortgage insurance on a structured, or bulk, basis with essentially all of our bulk writings prime-based. Additionally, we offer services, analytical tools and technology that enable lenders to operate efficiently and manage capital and risk. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment’s net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net operating loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders were both $81 million.

We also have Corporate and Other activities which include debt financing expenses that are incurred at our holding company level, unallocated corporate income and expenses, eliminations of inter-segment transactions and the results of non-strategic products that are managed outside of our operating segments. Our non-strategic products include our institutional and corporate-owned life insurance products. Institutional products consist of: funding agreements, funding agreements backing notes (“FABNs”) and guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”). For the three months ended March 31, 2011, Corporate and Other activities had a net loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and a net operating loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders of $76 million and $72 million, respectively.

Business trends and conditions

Our business is, and we expect will continue to be, influenced by a number of industry-wide and product-specific trends and conditions. The following discussion of business trends and conditions should be read together with the trends discussed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which described additional business trends and conditions.

General conditions and trends affecting our businesses

Financial and economic environment. The stability of both the financial markets and global economies in which we operate impacts the sales, revenue growth and profitability trends of our businesses. Improvements in equity markets, credit markets, interest rate spreads and global financial markets seen during 2010 continued in the first quarter of 2011. In Canada, the housing market continued to improve while unemployment levels remained relatively in line with the fourth quarter of 2010. In Australia, the housing market has remained stable and unemployment levels remained consistent with the fourth quarter of 2010 despite recent natural disasters though these disasters could impact regional economies over the medium-term. The U.S. housing market reflected continuing stress, growing levels of foreclosures and variations in performance by sub-market, including continued signs of stabilization within certain regions. Europe remained a slow growth environment with lower consumer lending activity. See “—Trends and conditions affecting our segments” below for a discussion regarding the impacts the financial markets and global economies have on our businesses.

Slow or varied levels of economic growth, coupled with uncertain financial markets and economic outlooks, changes in government policy, regulatory reforms and other changes in market conditions, influenced, and we believe will continue to influence, investment and spending decisions by consumers and businesses as they adjust their consumption, debt, capital and risk profiles in response to these conditions. Although these trends have generally improved as investor confidence in the markets and the outlook for some consumers and businesses strengthened, our sales, revenues and profitability trends of certain insurance and investment products have been and could be further adversely impacted going forward. In particular, factors such as government spending, monetary policies, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, anticipated tax policy changes and the impact of U.S. healthcare and financial regulation reform will continue to affect economic and business outlooks and consumer behaviors moving forward.

The U.S. government, Federal Reserve and other legislative and regulatory bodies continue to take a variety of actions to support the economy and capital markets, influence interest rates, stabilize housing markets and provide liquidity to promote economic growth. These include various mortgage restructuring programs

implemented or under consideration by the GSEs, lenders, servicers and the U.S. government. Outside of the United States, various governments took actions to stimulate economies, stabilize financial systems and improve market liquidity. In general, these actions have positively affected these countries and their markets; however, there can be no assurance as to the future level of impact of any of these actions on the economic and financial markets, including levels of volatility. A delayed economic recovery period or a U.S. or global recessionary or debt crisis setback could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We evaluate our product offerings, investment and asset-liability management strategies to moderate risk especially during periods of strained economic and financial market conditions. In addition, we continue to review our product and distribution management strategies to align with our strengths, profitability targets and risk tolerance. These and other company actions should enhance our competitive position as well as our capital flexibility and liquidity.

Volatility in credit and investment markets. During the first quarter of 2011, markets were characterized by rising volatility in the U.S. Treasury market due to external events in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East and due to the earthquake in Japan. Credit spreads were generally less volatile and ended the quarter tighter. Macroeconomic conditions, improving company fundamentals, declining corporate default rates, reduced net supply of spread product and continued strong investor demand drove the tightening in both credit and securitized products. Fears regarding systemic risk were largely contained this quarter, despite European sovereign concerns and political instability in North Africa and the Middle East. For securitized products, the market continued to see shrinking supply, though issuance did improve in commercial mortgage-backed securities. Asset valuations in securitized sectors continued to improve given a strong supply and demand imbalance, stable credit performance and the structural protections embedded in the transactions brought to market.

Certain segments of the marketplace are still experiencing declines in the performance of collateral underlying certain structured securities, but impairments in our investment portfolio remained consistent with the moderate levels recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2010. We recorded net other-than-temporary impairments of $36 million in the first quarter of 2011 which were lower than prior year levels and we expect losses to moderate further. Although economic conditions may continue to negatively impact certain investment valuations, the underlying collateral associated with securities that have not been impaired continues to perform.

Looking ahead, we believe that the current credit environment provides us with opportunities to invest across a variety of asset classes to meet our yield requirements, as well as to continue execution of various risk management disciplines involving further diversification within the investment portfolio. See “—Investments and Derivative Instruments” for additional information on our investment portfolio.

Trends and conditions affecting our segments

Retirement and Protection

Life insurance. Results of our life insurance business are impacted by sales, mortality, persistency, investment yields, expenses, reinsurance and statutory reserve requirements. Additionally, sales of our products and persistency of our insurance in-force are dependent on competitive product features and pricing, effective distribution and customer service.

Life insurance sales increased in the first half of 2010 in part due to strong adoption of our new term universal life insurance product and remained stable through the second half of 2010 and into the first quarter of 2011 with sales of our term universal life insurance product up 29% in the first quarter of 2011 versus the traditional term and term universal life insurance sales in the prior year. We believe our term universal life insurance product offers a better value proposition to the consumer when compared to our traditional term life insurance products which we no longer sell. Based on recent sales trends, we believe our term universal life insurance product is competitively priced for the middle and emerging affluent markets. Throughout 2010 and into 2011, we experienced favorable mortality results in our term life insurance products as compared to priced

Table of Contents

mortality assumptions. Additionally, while less severe in the first quarter of 2011 than in prior quarters, we have experienced lower persistency as compared to pricing assumptions for 10-year term life insurance policies written in 1999 and 2000 as they go through their post-level rate period. We expect this trend in persistency to continue as these 10-year term life insurance policies go through their post-level rate period and then moderate thereafter.

Regulations XXX and AXXX require insurers to establish additional statutory reserves for term life insurance policies with long-term premium guarantees and certain universal life insurance policies with secondary guarantees. This increases the capital required to write these products beyond economic requirements. The alternatives available to reduce the impact for the increased reserve requirements on some of our in-force books of business have over time become limited and more expensive. Despite this, committed funding sources are in place for approximately 95% of our anticipated peak level reserves required under Regulations XXX and AXXX, and therefore we believe unfunded reserve exposure is minimal.

Long-term care insurance. Results of our long-term care insurance business are influenced by morbidity, mortality, persistency, investment yields, new product sales, expenses and reinsurance as well as the relative competitiveness of our offerings.

In recent years, industry-wide first-year annualized premiums of long-term care insurance declined during the recession and rebounded as the economy stabilized. This positive trend continued during the first quarter of 2011. Sales of our individual long-term care product have increased 48% in the first quarter of 2011 versus the prior year due in part to growth in the market and competitor actions combined with the impacts of the progress made on multiple growth initiatives relating to distribution effectiveness and broadening of our individual and group offerings. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, higher claims than priced for in older issued policies which negatively impact our results of operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, one of our competitors announced its intent to exit the long-term care insurance market effective January 1, 2011. In addition, several competitors have announced their intent to seek rate actions on their individual and certain group long-term care insurance products. These announcements by competitors could disrupt the market and impact our sales going forward.

We continue pursuing multiple initiatives including: new product issuance and service offerings; investing in care coordination capabilities; maintaining tight expense management; actively exploring alternative reinsurance strategies; executing effective investment strategies; and considering other actions to improve business profitability and the performance of the overall block. These efforts include evaluating the need for future in-force rate increases, where warranted. In this connection, we began filing for a rate increase of 18% on two blocks of older long-term care insurance policies in November 2010. The state approval process of an in-force rate increase varies, and in certain states can take up to two years to obtain approval. Upon approval, premium increases may only occur on an insured’s policy anniversary date. Therefore, the benefits of any rate increase may not be fully realized until the implementation is complete over the next several years.

In addition, changes in regulations or government programs, including certain aspects of healthcare reform, such as the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (“CLASS”) Act, could impact our long-term care insurance business positively or negatively. As such, we continue to actively monitor regulatory developments.

Wealth management. Results of our wealth management business are impacted by the demand for asset management products and related support services, investment performance and equity market conditions.

The equity and fixed income market improvements since the second quarter of 2009, our introduction of new investment strategies, the expansion of products and services we offer to our advisors and an increase in the

 

63


Table of Contents

number of advisors that do business with us collectively contributed to our higher sales, net flows and assets under management. Depending upon the direction of equity and fixed income markets in the future, we could see a correlated impact on sales, net flows and assets under management.

On December 31, 2010, we purchased the operating assets of Altegris Capital, LLC (“Altegris”). This acquisition provided a platform of alternative investments including hedge funds and managed futures products and had approximately $2.2 billion in client assets as of December 31, 2010.

Retirement income. Results of our retirement income business are affected by investment performance, interest rate levels, slope of the interest rate yield curve, net interest spreads, equity market conditions, mortality, policyholder lapses, new product sales and relative competitiveness of our offerings. Our competitive position within many of our distribution channels and our ability to grow this business depends on many factors, including product offerings and company ratings. Our product offerings include current and minimum crediting rates on our spread-based products and surrender charges. Guaranteed benefit features of our in-force variable annuity products provide guaranteed death or living benefits to the consumer.

Refinements of product offerings and related pricing and investment strategies reflect targeted growth plans to achieve appropriate risk adjusted returns. In January 2011, we discontinued sales of our individual and group variable annuities; however, we will continue to service our existing block of business and accept additional deposits on existing contracts.

In fixed annuities, sales may fluctuate as interest rates change and as we offer these products using a disciplined approach to meet targeted returns. We have introduced new market value adjustment deferred annuity products in the brokerage general agency (“BGA”) channel and we have re-priced immediate annuities to maintain spreads and targeted returns. Early in 2010, we reinvested a significant portion of the excess cash and achieved improvements in spread-related income as a result of higher yields. Looking ahead, we will continue to actively evaluate marketing and investment strategies in the event that interest rates increase. We have targeted distributors and producers and maintained sales capabilities that align with our focused strategy. We have expanded distribution relationships with new financial institutions, independent financial planners and BGAs and we expect to continue to further expand these distribution relationships while selectively adding additional product offerings.

In variable annuities, the improvement in equity markets favorably impacted our results. In the future, equity market performance and volatility could result in additional gains or losses in our variable annuity products although associated hedging activities are expected to mitigate these impacts. As this is a closed block of business, we will see limited new deposits as we will only accept additional deposits on existing contracts.

International

International mortgage insurance. Results of our international mortgage insurance business are affected by changes in regulatory environments, employment levels and other economic and housing market trends, including interest rate trends, home price appreciation, mortgage origination volume, levels of mortgage delinquencies and movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

Canada and Australia comprise approximately 97% of our international mortgage insurance risk in-force with an estimated average effective loan-to-value ratio of 62% as of March 31, 2011. We expect that these established markets will continue to be key drivers of revenues and earnings in our international mortgage insurance business. Our entry and growth in developing international markets will remain selective and disciplined.

During 2010, we continued to observe increased stability in international housing markets, particularly in Canada and Australia, as the economic recovery which began in 2009 gained momentum. As a result of improving economic and employment outlooks, relatively low mortgage rates, improved housing affordability

and consumer confidence, home sales activity remained strong and home prices increased at the start of 2010 in these two markets. During the second half of 2010, home price appreciation moderated after a sustained period of growth. During the first quarter of 2011, home prices increased modestly in Canada and remained relatively flat in Australia. During the remainder of 2011, we expect home prices to remain consistent with current levels in both Canada and Australia. Additionally, we observed a decline in unemployment rates in these two markets during 2010 with rates remaining fairly stable during the first quarter of 2011. However, in Australia, with the combined impact of higher mortgage interest rates, increases in the cost of living and January flooding, the Queensland economy is pressured which could adversely impact our results of operations.

In many of our European mortgage insurance markets, we have observed early signs of stabilization as unemployment rates appear to be peaking and declines in home prices have moderated. The overall economic environment in Europe, however, continues to be dominated by concerns about the fiscal health of the region, which has created uncertainty about the timing and speed of economic recovery.

Since the beginning of 2010, the Bank of Canada increased the overnight rate by 75 basis points to 1.0% and we expect the Bank of Canada to maintain the overnight rate at current levels at least through the first half of 2011. In Australia, as a sign of the relative health and stability of that economy, the Reserve Bank of Australia increased the cash rate by 175 basis points to 4.75% between September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2011. We also expect the Reserve Bank of Australia to maintain the cash rate at current levels through the first half of 2011.

In Canada, we experienced higher than anticipated levels of flow new insurance written during 2010. A low mortgage interest rate environment in 2010 and improved consumer confidence contributed to these higher levels. During the first quarter of 2011, favorable economic conditions persisted with housing affordability benefiting from low interest rates and historically low unemployment levels. As of March 31, 2011, our 2010 book of business represents 12% of our insurance in-force while our 2007 and 2008 book years, the two largest in our portfolio, together represent 33% of our insurance in-force. As a result of our large 2007 and 2008 book years and subsequent smaller books seasoning during 2011, earned premiums in Canada are expected to decline moderately relative to 2010 levels. In January 2011, the Canadian government announced new mortgage rules that became effective in March and April of 2011. These changes may reduce the amount of net premiums written in 2011. This decline may be offset by modest growth in flow new insurance written in 2011 if economic conditions in Canada continue to be favorable and we are able to continue to gradually increase our market share.

In Australia, total mortgage market activity slowed during 2010 as the incremental government stimulus and incentives for first-time homebuyers implemented during the economic downturn were eliminated. Additionally, high loan-to-value mortgage originations, particularly above 90% loan-to-value, declined significantly in 2010 as banks allocated less capital to high loan-to-value lending and consumers became cautious of rising personal debt levels. This trend continued during the first quarter of 2011. These factors, combined with increased interest rates beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009, led to a decrease in mortgage originations and an associated decrease in our flow new insurance written during 2010 compared to 2009 levels. Our flow new insurance written further decreased during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 reflecting smaller mortgage originations market as well as the economic impact of recent natural disasters. For the remainder of 2011, we expect flow new insurance written to remain flat compared to 2010 levels.

Over the past two years, we significantly expanded our focus on, and the resources devoted to, loss mitigation initiatives, including programs that actively partner with our lenders to find solutions that cure delinquencies through actions such as loan modifications that keep borrowers in their homes, asset management strategies such as arranged and facilitated sales and pursuing recoveries. Loan modification programs benefit all parties as borrowers are able to remain in their homes, lenders maintain their relationship with the borrower and an earning asset, and we mitigate claim payments under the terms of our mortgage insurance policies. Additionally, in cases where no solution is found to cure the delinquency and keep the borrower in their home, we are actively partnering with our lenders to optimize the transition process, including taking early possession of properties, and mitigate claim payments. As a result of our expanded focus, there was an increase in the

 

65


Table of Contents

number of loans subject to our loss mitigation initiatives, which had a favorable impact on our results of operations. We have also seen improvements in our total losses as economies continue to improve, home price appreciation transitions to a stable rate of growth and unemployment levels decline. With ongoing improvement in the Canadian and Australian economies and stable housing markets, as well as the success we are experiencing with our loss mitigation initiatives outlined above, we expect our overall loss levels to improve modestly over time compared with levels experienced in 2010. These loss levels will vary quarterly based on seasonal or event-driven fluctuations.

Lifestyle protection insurance. Growth and performance of our lifestyle protection insurance business is dependent in part on economic conditions, including consumer lending levels, unemployment trends, client account penetration and mortality and morbidity trends. Additionally, the types and mix of our products will vary based on regulatory and consumer acceptance of our products.

The profitability of our lifestyle protection insurance business improved during 2010 and in the first quarter of 2011 and has been driven by lower new claim registrations from stabilizing European unemployment levels and the impact of our policy re-pricing and distribution contract restructuring initiatives. Sales during 2010 decreased primarily as a result of stagnating economies across Europe, which resulted in a decline in consumer lending where most of our insurance coverages attach as banks tightened lending criteria and consumer demand declined. Sales in the first quarter of 2011 remained consistent with the fourth quarter of 2010 levels. We are actively pursuing various growth initiatives to expand our distribution channels and our product offerings which have begun to help to mitigate lower consumer lending levels. However, depending on the severity and length of these conditions, we could experience additional declines in sales or the inability to generate targeted growth in new sales.

New claim registrations on unemployment-related policies declined throughout 2010 and the first quarter of 2011 and are at the lowest levels since the third quarter of 2008. This, combined with stabilizing claim durations, has led to a decrease in our loss ratio. The improvement in our loss ratio has been most notable in the Nordic and Western Europe regions. We expect unemployment rates in Europe to slowly decline over the next several quarters with regional variation. Additionally, we expect slow but positive European gross domestic product growth, which could positively impact consumer lending demand as well as reduce claim pressures through new job creation.

During 2010 and into 2011, significant progress was made in improving profitability through pricing, coverage or distribution contract changes on both new and eligible in-force policies. With most of these contract restructuring projects complete, we are focusing on increasing sales through improved product offerings and expanded distribution channels. We expect these strategies to continue to improve profitability and help to offset the impact of continued high unemployment as well as lower levels of consumer lending.

U.S. Mortgage Insurance

Results of our U.S. mortgage insurance business are affected by unemployment, underemployment and other economic and housing market trends, interest rates, home prices, mortgage origination volume mix and practices, the levels and aging of mortgage delinquencies including seasonal variations, the inventory of unsold homes and lender modification efforts. These economic and housing market trends are continuing to be adversely affected by ongoing weakness in the domestic economy and related levels of unemployment. This has resulted in numerous outcomes including rising foreclosures, more borrowers seeking loan modifications and elevated housing inventories which place downward pressure on home values. At the same time, home prices are continuing to show signs of stabilizing or improving in several U.S. markets after a significant decline from their peak levels. Overall, we anticipate additional declines in home values during 2011 and we expect unemployment and underemployment levels to stabilize and gradually decline over time though remain elevated for an extended period.

During 2010, a weak housing market, tightened lending standards, the lack of consumer confidence and the lack of liquidity in some mortgage securitization markets, along with volatility in mortgage interest rates,

continued to drive a smaller mortgage origination market. Within the private mortgage insurance market, the mortgage insurance penetration rate and overall market size was driven down by growth in Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) originations, associated with multiple pricing, underwriting and loan size factors, and the negative impact of GSE market fees and loan level pricing which made private mortgage insurance solutions less competitive with the FHA solution. Given ongoing FHA risk management actions, we have seen the private mortgage insurance penetration rate increase somewhat in the first quarter of 2011 and expect this to continue given the additional FHA pricing changes effective in April 2011. This increase has been mitigated in part by increased GSE loan level fees which can make private mortgage insurance less attractive. Going forward, further fees could limit the demand for or competitiveness of private mortgage insurance. Considering both of these trends, the industry continues to expect to regain market share over time. The mortgage insurance industry level of market penetration and eventual market size will continue to be affected by any actions taken by the GSEs, the FHA or the U.S. government impacting housing policy, underwriting standards or related reforms. The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 provided for changes to, among other things, the regulatory authority and oversight of the GSEs and the authority of the FHA including with respect to premium pricing, maximum loan limits and down payment requirements. In addition, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remain the largest purchasers and guarantors of mortgage loans in the United States.

We continue to manage the quality of new business through prudent underwriting guidelines, which we modify from time to time when circumstances warrant. We also expect to continue realizing the benefit of previously implemented rate increases along with other pricing-related actions. In addition, we regularly monitor competitor pricing and underwriting changes and their potential market impact.

While we are currently experiencing a decrease in the level of new delinquencies, overall pressure on the housing market continues to adversely affect the performance of our portfolio, particularly our 2006, 2007 and first half of 2008 book years that we believe peaked in their delinquency development during the first quarter of 2010. Delinquencies for these book years continue to drive the level of new delinquencies being reported. While the impact was originally concentrated in certain states and alternative product types, during the last few years, the impact has shifted to more traditional products reflecting the elevated unemployment and underemployment levels throughout the country. Beginning mid-2010, we saw an increase in foreclosure starts as well as an increase in our paid claims as late stage delinquency loans go through foreclosure. We expect this trend to continue at least through the second quarter of 2011. Suspensions of foreclosure actions in response to problems associated with lender and servicer foreclosure process defects have caused, and could further cause, claim payments to be deferred to later periods and potentially have an adverse impact on a recovery of the residential mortgage market.

The recent stabilization of home prices and unemployment levels in certain markets, expanded efforts in the mortgage market to modify loans and improved performance of our second half of 2008, 2009 and 2010 book years, resulted in a decrease in delinquencies during the first quarter of 2011. This decrease reflected a reduction in new delinquencies combined with a higher number of paid claims and increased cures from government and lender loan modification programs and other loss mitigation activities through the first half of 2010. However, aging of delinquencies continued to increase through the remainder of 2010 and through the first quarter of 2011; moreover, foreclosures continued increasing and liquidations remained elevated through the same period, thereby resulting in higher levels of claims. If home values experience further decline, credit remains tight and interest rates increase, the ability to cure a delinquent loan could be more difficult to achieve. In addition, while we continue to execute on our loan modification strategy, during the first quarter of 2011, we have seen the level of loan modification actions remain consistent with the level we experienced during the fourth quarter of 2010. Further reduction of loan modifications would have an adverse impact on the ability of borrowers to cure a delinquent loan.

Our loss mitigation activities, including those relating to workouts, loan modifications, pre-sales, rescissions and targeted settlements, net of reinstatements, which occurred during the first quarter of 2011 resulted in a reduction of expected losses of $122 million compared to $233 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Workouts and loan modifications, which related to loans representing 1% of our primary risk in-force as of March 31, 2011, and occurred during the period then ended, resulted in a reduction of expected losses of $94 million compared to $113 million in the first quarter of 2010. Our workout and loan modification programs with various lenders and servicers are designed to help borrowers in default regain current repayment status on their mortgage loans, which ultimately allowed many of these borrowers to remain in their homes. During the first quarter of 2011, we executed loan restructurings and modifications with our lender partners that resulted in reduced monthly mortgage loan repayment amounts through reductions of the underlying loans’ interest rates or debt forgiveness by lenders, or through a lengthening of the loans’ principal amortization period, or through some combination thereof. The loans that are subject to workouts and loan modifications that were completed could be subject to potential re-default by the underlying borrower at some future date. In addition, pre-sales and other non-cure workouts that occurred during the first quarter of 2011 resulted in a reduction of expected losses of $17 million compared to $13 million that occurred during the first quarter of 2010.

As a result of investigation activities on certain insured delinquent loans, we found certain levels of misrepresentation and non-compliance with specific terms and conditions of our underlying master insurance policies, as well as fraud. These findings separately resulted in rescission actions that occurred during the first quarter of 2011 which reduced our expected losses at the time of rescission by $11 million compared to $107 million that occurred during the first quarter of 2010.

During 2010, benefits from loss mitigation activities began shifting from rescissions to loan modifications where we expect a majority of our loss mitigation benefits to be achieved going forward. Although loan servicers continue to pursue a wide range of approaches to execute appropriate loan modifications, government-sponsored programs such as Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”) continue to decline as alternative programs have begun to gain momentum. With lower benefits from government-sponsored programs and the limited impact from alternative programs to date, we have experienced higher levels of paid claims. Depending upon the mix of loss mitigation activity, market trends and employment levels in future periods, we could see additional adverse loss reserve changes going forward.

We also participate in reinsurance programs in which we share portions of our premiums associated with flow insurance written on loans originated or purchased by lenders with captive insurance entities of these lenders in exchange for an agreed upon level of loss coverage above a specified attachment point. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded reinsurance recoveries of $21 million where cumulative losses have exceeded the attachment points in captive reinsurance arrangements, primarily related to our 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 book years. We have exhausted certain captive reinsurance tiers for these book years based on loss development trends. Once the captive reinsurance or trust assets are exhausted, we are responsible for additional losses incurred. We have begun to experience constraints on the recognition of captive benefit recovery due to the amount of funds held in certain captive trusts and the exhaustion of captive loss tiers for certain reinsurers. As of January 1, 2009, we no longer enter into excess loss of captive reinsurance transactions and, therefore, only participate in quota share reinsurance arrangements. The majority of our excess of loss captive reinsurance arrangements are in runoff with no new books of business being added going forward; however, we will continue to benefit from captive reinsurance on our 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 book years.

As of March 31, 2011, Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation (“GEMICO”) exceeded the maximum risk-to-capital requirement of 25:1. GEMICO is authorized and continues to write new business in North Carolina under a revocable two-year waiver of that state’s maximum 25:1 risk-to-capital requirement limitation, which the North Carolina Department of Insurance (“NCDOI”) approved in a letter dated January 31, 2011. By extension, GEMICO also remains authorized and continues to write business in 34 additional states that do not have a maximum risk-to-capital requirement. Ten additional states have granted GEMICO the authority to continue to write new business by a waiver (or other communication) regarding their relative state’s risk-to-capital requirements, subject to varying terms and conditions. Consequently, GEMICO is authorized to write new business in 45 states as of March 31, 2011. While we continue to seek this regulatory flexibility through additional state waivers, where available, we expect to manage our capital and business operations so as

to maintain capacity to write new profitable business. Currently, we utilize another one of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries, Genworth Residential Mortgage Insurance Corporation of North Carolina (“GRMIC-NC”), to write business in those five states where GEMICO is restricted under risk-to-capital requirements and where no waiver has been granted to date. We have also taken steps to be able to utilize another one of our U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries, Genworth Residential Mortgage Assurance Corporation (“GRMAC”), for similar purposes. In this regard, Fannie Mae has approved both our use of GRMIC-NC and our request that GRMAC be recognized as an eligible insurer. Fannie Mae’s approvals allow either entity to write business in lieu of GEMICO subject to specified conditions, including that we refrain from utilizing either entity, except in states where GEMICO is prohibited from writing business due to a breach of its maximum risk-to-capital requirement and has not obtained the applicable waiver of such breach. We remain in ongoing consultation with our state regulators and the GSEs regarding our ongoing use of these alternative arrangements, as necessary.

Premiums. Premiums consist primarily of premiums earned on insurance products for life, long-term care and Medicare supplement insurance, single premium immediate annuities and structured settlements with life contingencies, lifestyle protection insurance and mortgage insurance.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment decreased $6 million primarily related to a $16 million decrease in our retirement income business and a $7 million decrease in our life insurance business, partially offset by a $17 million increase in our long-term care insurance business.

 

   

Our International segment decreased $27 million as a result of a decrease of $43 million in our lifestyle protection insurance business, partially offset by a $16 million increase in our international mortgage insurance business. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $10 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

   

Our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment was flat.

Net investment income. Net investment income represents the income earned on our investments.

 

   

Weighted-average investment yields increased to 4.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 4.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in weighted-average investment yields was primarily attributable to the improved performance of limited partnerships accounted for under the equity method and the reinvestment of cash balances. Net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included $4 million of gains related to limited partnerships as compared to $34 million of losses related to limited partnerships for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

   

The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $5 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in our International segment.

Net investment gains (losses). Net investment gains (losses) consist of realized gains and losses from the sale or impairment of our investments and unrealized and realized gains and losses from our trading securities and derivative instruments. For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

 

   

We recorded $36 million of net other-than-temporary impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $80 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Of total impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, $21 million and $62 million, respectively, related to structured securities, including $15 million and $36 million, respectively, related to sub-prime and Alt-A residential mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Impairments related to corporate securities as a result of bankruptcies, receivership or concerns about the issuer’s ability to continue to make contractual payments or where we have intent to sell were $14 million and $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We also recorded impairments of $6 million related to financial hybrid securities and $7 million related to limited partnership investments during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

   

Net investment losses related to derivatives of $10 million in the first quarter of 2011 were primarily related to $8 million of losses associated with derivative instruments used to hedge foreign currency risk, $4 million of losses from the change in the value of derivative instruments used for mitigating the risk of embedded derivative liabilities associated with our variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWBs”) exceeding the change in value of the embedded derivative liabilities and $2 million of losses due to hedge ineffectiveness. These losses were partially offset by $3 million of gains from credit default swaps due to narrowing credit spreads and $1 million of gains related to a derivative strategy to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our statutory capital position. Net investment losses related to derivatives of $8 million in the first quarter of 2010 were primarily related to $14 million of losses in derivative instruments used for mitigating the risk of embedded derivative liabilities associated with our variable annuity products with GMWBs exceeding the change in value of the embedded derivative liabilities and $3 million of losses from foreign

currency options. These losses were partially offset by $5 million of gains from credit default swaps utilized to improve our diversification and portfolio yield and $5 million of gains in non-qualified interest rate swaps.

 

   

Net losses related to the sale of available-for-sale securities were $2 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $15 million in the first quarter of 2010. We also recorded $16 million from the recovery of a counterparty receivable in the first quarter of 2010.

Insurance and investment product fees and other. Insurance and investment product fees and other consist primarily of fees assessed against policyholder and contractholder account values, surrender charges, cost of insurance assessed on universal and term universal life insurance policies, advisory and administration service fees assessed on investment contractholder account values, broker/dealer commission revenues and other fees.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $78 million largely driven by an increase of $39 million in our life insurance business, an increase of $29 million in our wealth management business and an increase of $8 million in our retirement income business.

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves. Benefits and other changes in policy reserves consist primarily of benefits paid and reserve activity related to current claims and future policy benefits on insurance and investment products for life, long-term care and Medicare supplement insurance, structured settlements and single premium immediate annuities with life contingencies, lifestyle protection insurance and claim costs incurred related to mortgage insurance products.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $44 million primarily attributable to a $34 million increase in our long-term care insurance business and a $30 million increase in our life insurance business, partially offset by a $20 million decrease in our retirement income business.

 

   

Our International segment decreased $33 million as a result of a decrease of $36 million in our lifestyle protection insurance business, partially offset by an increase of $3 million in our international mortgage insurance business. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $6 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, represent costs and expenses related to the acquisition and ongoing maintenance of insurance and investment contracts, including commissions, policy issuance expenses and other underwriting and general operating costs. These costs and expenses are net of amounts that are capitalized and deferred, which are primarily costs and expenses that vary with and are primarily related to the sale and issuance of our insurance policies and investment contracts, such as first-year commissions in excess of ultimate renewal commissions and other policy issuance expenses.

 

   

Our Retirement and Protection segment increased $43 million primarily attributable to a $26 million increase in our wealth management business, a $14 million increase in our retirement income business and an $11 million increase in our long-term care insurance business, partially offset by an $8 million decrease in our life insurance business.

 

   

Our International segment decreased $5 million primarily related to a $6 million decrease in our lifestyle protection insurance business. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included a decrease of $2 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 20.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from (78.2)% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to changes in uncertain tax benefits in the prior year related to separation from our former parent, partially offset by lower taxed foreign income and tax favored investments. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $3 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary attributable to third parties. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $2 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders. We reported lower net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in the current year compared to the prior year primarily related to a $106 million tax benefit related to separation from our former parent recorded in the first quarter of 2010 and a higher net operating loss in our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment in the current year. For a discussion of our Retirement and Protection, International and U.S. Mortgage Insurance segments and Corporate and Other activities, see the “—Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment.” Included in net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders was an increase of $6 million, net of tax, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Reconciliation of net income to net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders

Net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $98 million and $114 million, respectively. We define net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, after-tax net investment gains (losses) and other adjustments and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. We exclude net investment gains (losses) and

 

72


Table of Contents

infrequent or unusual non-operating items because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of our net investment gains (losses) is the result of impairments, the size and timing of which can vary significantly depending on market credit cycles. In addition, the size and timing of other investment gains (losses) can be subject to our discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Infrequent or unusual non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. There were no infrequent or unusual non-operating items excluded from net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders during the periods presented other than a $106 million tax benefit related to separation from our former parent recorded in the first quarter of 2010.

While some of these items may be significant components of net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), we believe that net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders, including net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders per common share on a basic and diluted basis, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. However, net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders and net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders per common share on a basic and diluted basis are not substitutes for net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders or net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders per common share on a basic and diluted basis determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our definition of net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders may differ from the definitions used by other companies.

Results of Operations and Selected Financial and Operating Performance Measures by Segment

Our chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders. See note 10 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for a reconciliation of net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders of our segments and Corporate and Other activities to net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders.

Management’s discussion and analysis by segment also contains selected operating performance measures including “sales,” “assets under management” and “insurance in-force” or “risk in-force” which are commonly used in the insurance and investment industries as measures of operating performance.

Management regularly monitors and reports sales metrics as a measure of volume of new and renewal business generated in a period. Sales refer to: (1) annualized first-year premiums for term life, long-term care and Medicare supplement insurance; (2) new and additional premiums/deposits for universal and term universal life insurance, linked-benefits, spread-based and variable products; (3) gross flows and net flows, which represent gross flows less redemptions, for our wealth management business; (4) written premiums and deposits, gross of ceded reinsurance and cancellations, and premium equivalents, where we earn a fee for administrative services only business, for our lifestyle protection insurance business; (5) new insurance written for mortgage insurance; and (6) written premiums net of cancellations for our Mexican insurance operations, which in each case reflects the amount of business we generated during each period presented. Sales do not include renewal premiums on policies or contracts written during prior periods. We consider annualized first-year premiums, new premiums/deposits, gross and net flows, written premiums, premium equivalents and new insurance written to be a measure of our operating performance because they represent a measure of new sales of insurance policies or contracts during a specified period, rather than a measure of our revenues or profitability during that period.

Management regularly monitors and reports assets under management for our wealth management business, insurance in-force and risk in-force. Assets under management for our wealth management business represent third-party assets under management that are not consolidated in our financial statements. Insurance in-force for our life, international mortgage and U.S. mortgage insurance businesses is a measure of the aggregate face value of outstanding insurance policies as of the respective reporting date. For our risk in-force in our international mortgage insurance business, we have computed an “effective” risk in-force amount, which recognizes that the loss on any particular loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the property. Effective risk in-force has been calculated by applying to insurance in-force a factor of 35% that represents our highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of our businesses in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Risk in-force for our U.S. mortgage insurance business is our obligation that is limited under contractual terms to the amounts less than 100% of the mortgage loan value. We consider assets under management for our wealth management business, insurance in-force and risk in-force to be a measure of our operating performance because they represent a measure of the size of our business at a specific date which will generate revenues and profits in a future period, rather than a measure of our revenues or profitability during that period.

We also include information related to loss mitigation activities for our U.S. mortgage insurance business. We define loss mitigation activities as rescissions, cancellations, borrower loan modifications, repayment plans, lender- and borrower-titled presales and other loan workouts and claim mitigation actions. Estimated savings related to rescissions are the reduction in carried loss reserves, net of premium refunds and reinstatement of prior rescissions. Estimated savings related to loan modifications and other cure related loss mitigation actions represent the reduction in carried loss reserves. For non-cure related actions, including presales, the estimated savings represent the difference between the full claim obligation and the actual amount paid. We believe that this information helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of our U.S. mortgage insurance business as they specifically impact current and future loss reserves and level of claim payments.

These operating measures enable us to compare our operating performance across periods without regard to revenues or profitability related to policies or contracts sold in prior periods or from investments or other sources.

Net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $15 million from growth in our universal and term universal life insurance products, an $8 million favorable cumulative impact from a recent change in premium taxes in Virginia and favorable investment income, partially offset by less favorable mortality in our term life insurance products in the current year compared to the prior year. The prior year included an unfavorable reinsurance adjustment of $5 million and a favorable tax settlement that did not recur.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business was flat as higher investment spread in the current year was offset by higher claims as a result of the aging and growth of the in-force block.

 

   

Our wealth management business was relatively flat as higher average assets under management from market growth and positive net flows were offset by a $2 million favorable tax adjustment in the prior year that did not recur.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $9 million. Our fee-based products decreased $6 million mainly attributable to an $8 million favorable adjustment to deferred acquisition costs in the prior year that did not recur and a $7 million charge in the first quarter of 2011 from the discontinuance of our variable annuity offerings announced in 2011, partially offset by favorable market performance. Our spread-based products decreased $3 million primarily from an increase in an accrual related to guarantee funds in the current year.

Revenues

Premiums

 

   

Our life insurance business decreased $7 million primarily as a result of the runoff of our term life insurance products, partially offset by an unfavorable reinsurance adjustment of $8 million in the prior year that did not recur.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $17 million mainly attributable to growth in the in-force block from new sales.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $16 million primarily driven by lower life contingent sales of our spread-based products.

Net investment income

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $24 million mainly related to higher average invested assets, an increase in income from limited partnerships accounted for under the equity method and reinvestment of cash balances. Net investment income included $2 million of gains related to limited partnerships in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to losses related to limited partnerships of $5 million in the first quarter of 2010.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $19 million largely as a result of an increase in average invested assets due to growth of our long-term care insurance in-force block. Additionally, net investment income in the first quarter of 2011 included lower losses of $3 million related to limited partnerships accounted for under the equity method as compared to the first quarter of 2010. These increases were partially offset by an unfavorable adjustment of $6 million related to the accounting for interest rate swaps in the current year.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $9 million primarily attributable to a decline in average invested assets, partially offset by an increase in income from limited partnerships accounted for under the equity method. Net investment income in the first quarter of 2011 included gains of $1 million related to limited partnerships as compared to losses related to limited partnerships of $4 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents

Net investment gains (losses). For further discussion of the change in net investment gains (losses), see the comparison for this line item under “—Investments and Derivative Instruments.”

 

   

Net investment losses in our life insurance business decreased $26 million primarily driven by lower impairments and higher gains from the sale of investment securities related to portfolio repositioning in the current year.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business had net investment losses of $8 million in the current year mainly from impairments compared to net investment gains of $2 million in the prior year primarily from derivative gains, partially offset by impairments.

 

   

Net investment losses in our retirement income business decreased $23 million primarily related to higher gains related to embedded derivatives associated with our variable annuity products with GMWBs, partially offset by higher losses from the sale of investment securities related to portfolio repositioning.

Insurance and investment product fees and other

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $39 million primarily from growth of our term universal and universal life insurance products.

 

   

Our wealth management business increased $29 million primarily attributable to higher average assets under management from the purchase of Altegris in the fourth quarter of 2010, positive net flows and market growth.

 

   

Our retirement income business increased $8 million mainly as a result of higher average account values in our fee-based products from favorable market performance.

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves

 

   

Our life insurance business increased $30 million principally related to growth of our term universal life insurance product and less favorable mortality in our term life insurance products in the current year as compared to the prior year, partially offset by the runoff of our term life insurance products.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $34 million primarily as a result of the aging and growth of our long-term care insurance in-force block.

 

   

Our retirement income business decreased $20 million largely attributable to a decrease of $17 million from our life-contingent spread-based products as a result of a decline in sales in the current year. Our fee-based products decreased $3 million driven by a decline in our guaranteed minimum death benefit claims.

Interest credited. Interest credited decreased $6 million primarily related to our retirement income business from lower account values on fixed annuities and lower crediting rates as the fixed annuities reach the end of their initial crediting rate guarantee period.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals

 

   

Our life insurance business decreased $8 million primarily related to a $13 million favorable cumulative impact from a recent change in premium taxes in Virginia in the current year, partially offset by higher expenses from growth of our term universal life insurance product.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business increased $11 million largely attributable to growth of our long-term care insurance in-force block.

 

78


Table of Contents
   

Our wealth management business increased $26 million primarily from increased asset-based expenses from the acquisition of Altegris in the fourth quarter of 2010, positive net flows and market growth.

 

   

Our retirement income business increased $14 million largely driven by a $9 million charge in the first quarter of 2011 from the discontinuance of our variable annuity offerings announced in 2011 and an increase of $4 million from an accrual related to guarantee funds in the current year.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles

 

   

Our life insurance business decreased $7 million primarily attributable to lower amortization related to our term life insurance policies coming out of their post-level rate period and a decrease in amortization of present value of future profits driven by higher mortality in our universal life insurance products. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in amortization due to growth of our universal life insurance products.

 

   

Our long-term care insurance business decreased $5 million primarily from deferring costs associated with the sale of joint policies that were incorrectly expensed in prior years as a result of a system conversion in late 2008 that was identified and corrected in the fourth quarter of 2010. This decrease was partially offset by growth of our long-term care insurance in-force block.

 

   

Our retirement income business increased $18 million primarily related to an increase of $13 million in our fee-based products principally from a $12 million favorable adjustment recorded in the prior year that did not recur. Our spread-based products increased $5 million mainly from less favorable adjustments related to lapses in the current year, partially offset by a decrease in the account values of these products.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $4 million related to our life insurance business from higher letter of credit fees in the current year.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 34.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 28.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the proportion of tax favored investment benefits to pre-tax results in the current year compared to the prior year and a change in uncertain tax positions in the prior year.

In the first quarter of 2011, we began reporting the results of the linked-benefits product for universal life insurance in our life insurance business. The linked-benefits product for universal life insurance was previously reported in our long-term care insurance business. The amounts associated with this product were not material and the prior period amounts were not re-presented.

Term life insurance

Net earned premiums decreased mainly as a result of the runoff of our term life insurance products, partially offset by an unfavorable reinsurance adjustment of $8 million in the prior year that did not recur. The in-force block also decreased due to runoff.

Term universal life insurance

Net deposits increased due to growth of this product since its introduction in late 2009.

Universal and whole life insurance

Net earned premiums and deposits increased due primarily to the growth of our universal life insurance products. The in-force block was relatively flat as the growth in our universal life insurance products was offset by the continued runoff our closed block of the whole life insurance product.

The decrease in annualized first-year premiums and deposits was primarily attributable to our linked-benefits products. In the first quarter of 2011, we began reporting the results of the linked-benefits products for universal life insurance and single premium deferred annuity products in our life insurance and spread-based retirement income businesses, respectively. The linked-benefits products were previously reported in our long-term care insurance business. This decrease was partially offset by growth in our individual long-term care insurance products.

The Income Distribution Series products are comprised of our deferred and immediate variable annuity products, including those variable annuity products with rider options that provide guaranteed income benefits, including GMWBs and certain types of guaranteed annuitization benefits. These products do not include fixed single premium immediate annuities or deferred annuities, which may also serve income distribution needs.

Income Distribution Series

Account value related to our Income Distribution Series products increased from the prior year mainly attributable to market growth, partially offset by surrenders outpacing sales. Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, we no longer solicit sales of our variable annuities; however, we continue to service our existing block of business and accept additional deposits on existing contracts.

Traditional variable annuities

In our traditional variable annuities, the increase in account value from the prior year was principally as a result of market growth, partially offset by surrenders outpacing sales. Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, we no longer solicit sales of our variable annuities; however, we continue to service our existing block of business and accept additional deposits on existing contracts.

Net operating income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders

 

   

The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $7 million and a decrease of $1 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates for our international mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance businesses, respectively.

 

   

Net operating income for our international mortgage insurance business increased from overall lower losses and taxes, partially offset by higher interest expense.

 

   

Net operating income for our lifestyle protection insurance business increased attributable to lower new claim registrations from improving economic conditions and a favorable impact from our re-pricing actions taken in 2010, partially offset by reduced levels of consumer lending.

Revenues

Premiums

 

   

Our international mortgage insurance business increased $16 million and our lifestyle protection insurance business decreased $43 million.

 

   

The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $17 million and a decrease of $7 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates for our international mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance businesses, respectively.

 

   

Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our international mortgage insurance business was relatively flat. In both Canada and Australia, lower premiums were attributable to seasoning of our in-force blocks of business. This decrease was offset by lower ceded affiliated reinsurance in Australia in the current year. In Europe, premiums decreased as a result of lender settlements in the prior year and ongoing loss mitigation activities.

 

   

The decrease in our lifestyle protection insurance business was primarily attributable to our runoff block of business and a decrease in premium volume driven by reduced levels of consumer lending. Additionally, there was a favorable premium adjustment related to the timing of receiving client data which was partially offset by an unfavorable reinsurance adjustment in the first quarter of 2010 both of which were offset in expenses. These decreases were partially offset by re-pricing actions taken during 2010.

Net investment income

 

   

Our international mortgage insurance business increased $10 million and our lifestyle protection insurance business increased $1 million.

 

   

The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $7 million and a decrease of $2 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates for our international mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance businesses, respectively.

 

   

The increase in our international mortgage insurance business was primarily as a result of higher average invested assets in Canada and Australia.

 

   

The increase in our lifestyle protection insurance business was principally attributable to reinsurance arrangements accounted for under the deposit method as these arrangements were in a gain position.

Benefits and expenses

The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $7 million and a decrease of $1 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates for our international mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance businesses, respectively.

 

   

Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, the decrease in our international mortgage insurance business was primarily driven by lower losses in Europe related to lender settlements in the prior year and ongoing loss mitigation activities. Australia was relatively flat as an increase in reserves driven by the economic impact of recent flooding was offset by lower paid claims. Losses in Canada were flat as lower severity from overall economic improvement in the current year was offset by higher new delinquencies in Alberta which have a higher average reserve per delinquency.

 

   

The decrease in our lifestyle protection insurance business was largely attributable to a decrease in claim reserves from declining claim registrations driven by continued stabilization of economic conditions in Europe.

Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals. Acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, decreased $5 million largely attributable to our lifestyle protection insurance business from a decrease in paid commissions related to a decline in new business, partially offset by an increase in profit commissions driven by lower claims. Additionally, there was a favorable commission adjustment in the first quarter of 2010 that was offset in premiums. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $2 million and a decrease of $4 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates for our international mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance businesses, respectively.

Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles

 

   

Our international mortgage insurance business increased $5 million and our lifestyle protection insurance business decreased $10 million.

 

   

The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $2 million and a decrease of $1 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates for our international mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance businesses, respectively.

 

   

The increase in our international mortgage insurance business resulted primarily from an increase related to software and higher amortization of deferred acquisition costs driven by the seasoning of our in-force blocks of business.

 

   

The decrease in our lifestyle protection insurance business was primarily attributable to our runoff block of business. Additionally, there was an unfavorable adjustment in the first quarter of 2010 related to the timing of receiving client data that was offset in premiums.

Interest expense

 

   

Our international mortgage insurance business increased $6 million and our lifestyle protection insurance business decreased $10 million.

 

   

The three months ended March 31, 2011 included a decrease of $1 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates in our lifestyle protection insurance business.

 

   

The increase in our international mortgage insurance business was related to Canada from the issuance of debt by our majority-owned subsidiary in June and December 2010.

 

   

The decrease in our lifestyle protection insurance business was due to reinsurance arrangements accounted for under the deposit method of accounting as these arrangements were in a lower loss position in the current year.

Provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate decreased to 22.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 27.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to changes in lower taxed foreign income. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $4 million and a decrease of $1 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates for our international mortgage and lifestyle protection insurance businesses, respectively.

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force

Our businesses in Australia, New Zealand and Canada currently provide 100% coverage on the majority of the loans we insure in those markets. For the purpose of representing our risk in-force, we have computed an “effective” risk in-force amount, which recognizes that the loss on any particular loan will be reduced by the net proceeds received upon sale of the property. Effective risk in-force has been calculated by applying to insurance in-force a factor that represents our highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of our businesses in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, this factor was 35%.

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force increased primarily as a result of new insurance written in Canada and Australia, partially offset by cancellations in Australia and loss mitigation activities in Europe during 2010. Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force included increases of $45.8 billion and $15.7 billion, respectively, attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2011.

New insurance written

New insurance written was lower primarily driven by decreases in flow new insurance written in Australia due to a smaller mortgage originations market and lower bulk transactions volume in Canada. These decreases were partially offset by higher flow new insurance written in Canada from an estimated increase in our market share and bulk transactions in Australia and Europe in the current year. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $1.0 billion attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net premiums written and net earned premiums

Most of our international mortgage insurance policies provide for single premiums at the time that loan proceeds are advanced. We initially record the single premiums to unearned premium reserves and recognize the premiums earned over time in accordance with the expected pattern of risk emergence. As of March 31, 2011, our unearned premium reserves were $3.1 billion, including an increase of $0.2 billion attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, compared to $3.1 billion as of March 31, 2010. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, our unearned premium reserves decreased primarily related to seasoning of our in-force block of business.

Table of Contents

Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, net premiums written decreased primarily from lower flow new insurance written in Australia and bulk new insurance written in Canada. Partially offsetting this decrease was higher flow new insurance written in Canada and lower ceded affiliated reinsurance premiums in Australia. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $11 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, net earned premiums were relatively flat. In both Canada and Australia, lower premiums were attributable to seasoning of our in-force block of business. This decrease was offset by lower ceded affiliated reinsurance in Australia in the current year. In Europe, premiums decreased as a result of lender settlements in the prior year and ongoing loss mitigation activities. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included an increase of $17 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Loss and expense ratios

The following table sets forth the loss and expense ratios for our international mortgage insurance business for the dates indicated:

 

     Three months ended March 31,     Increase (decrease)  
     2011     2010     2011 vs. 2010  

Loss ratio

     42     43     (1 )% 

Expense ratio

     45     44     1

The loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The expense ratio is the ratio of general expenses to net premiums written. In our business, general expenses consist of acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, and amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles.

The decrease in the loss ratio was primarily attributable to lower losses in Europe related to lender settlements in the prior year and ongoing loss mitigation activities. In Australia, the loss ratio increased primarily from an increase in reserves driven by the economic impact of recent flooding.

The increase in the expense ratio was primarily attributable to Australia from lower net premiums written.

Table of Contents

Flow loans in-force increased primarily from flow new insurance written in Canada during the current year while bulk loans in-force decreased from higher cancellations in Australia. Delinquent loans increased from higher delinquencies in Australia and Europe as a result of the seasoning of our insurance in-force, partially offset by lower delinquencies in Mexico.

Gross written premiums, premium equivalents and deposits

Gross written premiums, premium equivalents and deposits, gross of ceded reinsurance and cancellations, were relatively flat as our re-pricing initiatives were offset by reduced levels of consumer lending. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included a decrease of $13 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net earned premiums

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the decrease was primarily attributable to our runoff block of business and a decrease in premium volume driven by reduced levels of consumer lending. Additionally, there was a favorable premium adjustment related to the timing of receiving client data which was partially offset by an unfavorable reinsurance adjustment in the first quarter of 2010. The three months ended March 31, 2011 included a decrease of $7 million attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Net operating loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders

The increase in the net operating loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders was as a result of lower benefits from loss mitigation activities and an increase in the aging of existing delinquencies, partially offset by lower new delinquencies.

Revenues

Premiums remained flat as lower premium refunds related to rescission activity were offset by both lower average primary insurance in-force and lower premiums assumed from an affiliate under an intercompany reinsurance agreement.

Net investment income increased primarily related to a preferred stock dividend in the current year, partially offset by lower invested assets.

The decrease in net investment gains was primarily driven by lower gains on the sale of investments from portfolio repositioning activities.

Insurance and investment product fees and other income decreased from the commutation of a captive trust in the prior year that did not recur.

Table of Contents

Benefits and expenses

Benefits and other changes in policy reserves increased due to an increase in change in reserves of $258 million and a decrease in net paid claims of $175 million. This included a settlement with a counterparty related to our GSE Alt-A business of $5 million, consisting of net paid claims of $180 million and a decrease in change in reserves of $185 million in the first quarter of 2010. Excluding the settlement in the prior year, the increase in incurred losses in the current year was driven by lower benefits from loss mitigation activities and an increase in the aging of existing delinquencies, partially offset by lower new delinquencies. The increase in paid claims was attributable to higher claim counts offset by a decrease in average claim payments reflecting lower loan balances.

Benefit for income taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 42.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 36.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to changes in tax favored investment income and a state income tax adjustment in the prior year that did not recur.

Primary insurance in-force and risk in-force

Primary insurance in-force decreased primarily as a result of rescission and other loss mitigation actions. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in new insurance written from an increase in the overall mortgage insurance market. In addition, risk in-force decreased due to tighter mortgage insurance guidelines and mortgage lender underwriting standards as well as a weak housing market and reduced mortgage credit liquidity. Flow persistency was 86% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

New insurance written

New insurance written increased during the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily driven by an increase in the overall mortgage insurance market, partially offset by a decline in our mortgage insurance market share due to tighter mortgage insurance guidelines and mortgage lender underwriting standards.

Net premiums written

Net premiums written remained flat as lower reinsurance premiums were offset by higher new insurance written as a result of an increase in the overall mortgage insurance market.

Loss and expense ratios

The following table sets forth the loss and expense ratios for our U.S. Mortgage Insurance segment for the dates indicated:

Loss ratio

     197     138     59

Expense ratio

     27     26     1

The loss ratio is the ratio of incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to net earned premiums. The expense ratio is the ratio of general expenses to net premiums written. In our business, general expenses consist of acquisition and operating expenses, net of deferrals, and amortization of deferred acquisition costs and intangibles.

The three months ended March 31, 2010 included a settlement with a counterparty related to our GSE Alt-A business of $5 million, consisting of net paid claims of $180 million and a decrease in change in reserves of $185 million. Excluding the settlement in the first quarter of 2010, the loss ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2010 would have been 141%. The increase in the loss ratio was primarily attributable to an increase in change in reserves largely driven by lower benefits from loss mitigation activities and an increase in the aging of existing delinquencies, partially offset by lower new delinquencies. In addition, the loss ratio increased as net paid claims increased from higher claim counts, partially offset by a decrease in average claim payments reflecting lower loan balances.

Delinquency and foreclosure levels that developed principally in our 2006, 2007 and 2008 book years have remained high as the United States continues to experience an economic recession and weakness in its housing markets. These trends continue to be especially evident in Florida, California, Arizona and Nevada, as well as in our A minus, Alt-A, adjustable rate mortgages (“ARMs”) and certain 100% loan-to-value products. However, we have seen a decline in new delinquencies.

Primary insurance delinquency rates differ from region to region in the United States at any one time depending upon economic conditions and cyclical growth patterns. The tables below set forth our primary delinquency rates for the various regions of the United States and the ten largest states by our risk in-force as of the dates indicated. Delinquency rates are shown by region based upon the location of the underlying property, rather than the location of the lender.

Table of Contents

Net operating loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders

We reported a higher net operating loss available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders in the current year compared to the prior year primarily as a result of lower tax benefits and higher interest expense, partially offset by an increase in net investment income and higher allocated expenses.

Revenues

Higher investment income was primarily driven by the improved performance of limited partnership investments accounted for under the equity method. Net investment income included $1 million of gains related to limited partnerships in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $21 million of losses related to limited partnerships in the first quarter of 2010. The increase was partially offset by a decline in average invested assets.

Benefits and expenses

The decrease in interest credited was attributable to lower interest rates on interest paid on our floating rate policyholder liabilities and a decrease in average outstanding liabilities.

Operating expenses decreased as a result of higher allocated expenses to the operating segments in the current year.

Interest expense increased related to the debt issuances in the second half of 2010.

The decrease in the income tax benefit was primarily related to changes in uncertain tax benefits in the prior year related to separation from our former parent.

Yields for fixed maturity and equity securities are based on weighted-average amortized cost or cost, respectively. Yields for other invested assets, which include securities lending activity, are calculated net of the corresponding securities lending liability. All other yields are based on average carrying values.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the increase in overall weighted-average investment yields was primarily attributable to the improved performance of limited partnerships accounted for under the equity method

and the reinvestment of cash balances. Net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included $4 million of gains related to limited partnerships as compared to $34 million of losses related to limited partnerships for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

We recorded $36 million of net other-than-temporary impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $80 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Of total impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, $21 million and $62 million, respectively, related to structured securities, including $15 million and $36 million, respectively, related to sub-prime and Alt-A residential mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Impairments related to corporate securities as a result of bankruptcies, receivership or concerns about the issuer’s ability to continue to make contractual payments or where we have intent to sell were $14 million and $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We also recorded impairments of $6 million related to financial hybrid securities and $7 million related to limited partnership investments during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

   

Net investment losses related to derivatives of $10 million in the first quarter of 2011 were primarily related to $8 million of losses associated with derivative instruments used to hedge foreign currency risk, $4 million of losses from the change in the value of derivative instruments used for mitigating the risk of embedded derivative liabilities associated with our variable annuity products with GMWBs exceeding the change in value of the embedded derivative liabilities and $2 million of losses due to hedge ineffectiveness. These losses were partially offset by $3 million of gains from credit default swaps due to narrowing credit spreads and $1 million of gains related to a derivative strategy to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our statutory capital position. Net investment losses related to derivatives of $8 million in the first quarter of 2010 were primarily related to $14 million of losses in derivative instruments used for mitigating the risk of embedded derivative liabilities associated with our variable annuity products with GMWBs exceeding the change in value of the embedded derivative liabilities and $3 million of losses from foreign currency options. These losses were partially offset by $5 million of gains from credit default swaps utilized to improve our diversification and portfolio yield and $5 million of gains in non-qualified interest rate swaps.

Net losses related to the sale of available-for-sale securities were $2 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $15 million in the first quarter of 2010. We also recorded $16 million from the recovery of a counterparty receivable in the first quarter of 2010.

 

   

The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $397 million from the sale of 74 securities and $558 million from the sale of 128 securities, respectively, which was approximately 94% of book value for both 2011 and 2010. The loss on sales of securities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily driven by widening credit spreads. Generally, securities that are sold at a loss represent either small dollar amounts or percentage losses upon disposition. However, in certain circumstances, events may occur that change our intent to hold specific securities and thus result in our disposition of the security at a loss. Examples of these events include unforeseen issuer-specific events or conditions and shifts in risk or uncertainty of certain securities. Of the securities that were sold at a loss during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the average period of time those securities had been continuously in an unrealized loss position was approximately 13 months. The securities sold at a loss in the first quarter of 2011 included two U.S. corporate securities that were sold for a total loss of $11 million related to portfolio repositioning activities. Of the securities that were sold at a loss during the three months ended March 31, 2010, the average period of time those securities had been continuously in an unrealized loss position was approximately 16 months. The securities sold at a loss in the first quarter of 2010 included one non-U.S. government security that was sold for a total loss of $7 million related to portfolio repositioning activities.

We hold fixed maturity, equity and trading securities, derivatives, embedded derivatives, securities held as collateral and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As of March 31, 2011, approximately 3% of our investment holdings recorded at fair value was based on significant inputs that were not market observable and were classified as Level 3 measurements. See note 6 in our “—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information related to fair value.

Securities lending collateral increased primarily from increased program demand. The increase in short-term investments was attributable to purchases during the first quarter of 2011.

The decrease in the notional value of derivatives was primarily attributable to a $1.1 billion notional decrease in interest rate swaps and swaptions related to a derivative strategy to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our statutory capital position, a $0.6 billion notional decrease in interest rate swaps and financial futures used to hedge liabilities related to our institutional products and a $0.5 billion notional decrease in derivatives used to hedge our variable annuity products with GMWBs. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.0 billion notional increase in cash flow hedges related to our interest rate hedging strategy associated with our long-term care insurance products.

Consolidated Balance Sheets

Total assets. Total assets increased $0.5 billion from $112.4 billion as of December 31, 2010 to $112.9 billion as of March 31, 2011.

 

   

Cash, cash equivalents and invested assets increased $0.2 billion primarily from an increase of $0.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 billion in invested assets. The increase in cash was primarily attributable to our debt issuance in March 2011. Our fixed maturity securities portfolio decreased $0.2 billion resulting primarily from maturities exceeding purchases during the first quarter of 2011. Commercial mortgage loans decreased $0.1 billion as collections exceeded originations during the first quarter of 2011. Other invested assets decreased $0.1 billion primarily driven by a decrease in derivatives and derivatives counterparty collateral, partially offset by an increase in our securities lending program and short-term investments.

 

   

Separate account assets increased $0.1 billion primarily as a result of favorable market performance of the underlying securities.

Total liabilities. Total liabilities increased $0.3 billion from $97.4 billion as of December 31, 2010 to $97.7 billion as of March 31, 2011.

 

   

Our policyholder-related liabilities decreased $0.4 billion largely attributable to a decrease in our spread-based products from benefit payments and scheduled maturities of our institutional products. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in our long-term care insurance business from growth of our in-force block.

 

   

Other liabilities increased $0.1 billion primarily as a result of the timing of payments and an increase in our securities lending program, partially offset by a decrease in our repurchase program.

 

   

Long-term borrowings increased $0.4 billion principally from the issuance of senior notes in March 2011.

 

   

Separate account liabilities increased $0.1 billion primarily as a result of favorable market performance of the underlying securities.

Total stockholders’ equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased $0.2 billion from $15.0 billion as of December 31, 2010 to $15.2 billion as of March 31, 2011.

 

   

We reported net income available to Genworth Financial, Inc.’s common stockholders of $0.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

   

Accumulated other comprehensive income increased $0.1 billion predominately attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies resulting in higher foreign currency translation adjustments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and capital resources represent our overall financial strength and our ability to generate cash flows from our businesses, borrow funds at competitive rates and raise new capital to meet our operating and growth needs.

   $ 611      $ (1,531
                

Our principal sources of cash include sales of our products and services, income from our investment portfolio and proceeds from sales of investments. As an insurance business, we typically generate positive cash flows from operating activities, as premiums collected from our insurance products and income received from our investments exceed policy acquisition costs, benefits paid, redemptions and operating expenses. These positive cash flows are then invested to support the obligations of our insurance and investment products and required capital supporting these products. Our cash flows from operating activities are affected by the timing of premiums, fees and investment income received and benefits and expenses paid. The increase in cash inflows from operating activities in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 was primarily as a result of lower tax settlements in the first quarter of 2011 and an increase from policy-related balances associated with the timing of payments.

In analyzing our cash flow, we focus on the change in the amount of cash available and used in investing activities. We had net cash inflows from investing activities in the first quarter of 2011 as proceeds from maturities and sales of fixed maturity securities exceeded purchases of investments.

Changes in cash from financing activities primarily relate to the issuance of, and redemptions and benefit payments on, universal life insurance and investment contracts; the issuance and acquisition of debt and equity securities; the issuance and repayment of borrowings and non-recourse funding obligations; and dividends to our stockholders and other capital transactions. We had net cash outflows from financing activities in the first quarter of 2011 related to redemptions of our investment contracts primarily from scheduled maturities and surrenders which exceeded deposits received on these contracts. Net cash from financing activities increased related to net proceeds received from the issuance of senior notes during the first quarter of 2011.

In the United States and Canada, we engage in certain securities lending transactions for the purpose of enhancing the yield on our investment securities portfolio, which require the borrower to provide collateral, consisting of cash and government securities, on a daily basis in amounts equal to or exceeding 102% in the United States and 105% in Canada of the fair value of the applicable securities loaned. We maintain effective control over all loaned securities and, therefore, continue to report such securities as fixed maturity securities on the consolidated balance sheets. Cash and non-cash collateral, such as a security, received by us on securities lending transactions is reflected in other invested assets with an offsetting liability recognized in other liabilities for the obligation to return the collateral. Any cash collateral received is reinvested by our custodian based upon the investment guidelines provided within our agreement. In the United States, the reinvested cash collateral is primarily invested in a money market fund approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), U.S. and foreign government securities, U.S. government agency securities, asset-backed securities and corporate debt securities. In Canada, the lending institution must be included on the approved Securities Lending Borrowers List with the Canadian regulator and the intermediary must be rated at least “AA-” by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC. We are currently indemnified against counterparty credit risk by the intermediary. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of securities loaned under the securities lending program was $0.8 billion, consisting of $0.5 billion in the United States and $0.3 billion in Canada. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of collateral held under the securities

lending program was $0.8 billion and the offsetting obligation to return collateral of $0.8 billion was included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We had non-cash collateral of $0.3 billion as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

We also have a repurchase program in which we sell an investment security at a specified price and agree to repurchase that security at another specified price at a later date. Repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently reacquired, including accrued interest, as specified in the respective agreement. The market value of securities to be repurchased is monitored and collateral levels are adjusted where appropriate to protect the counterparty against credit exposure. Cash received is invested in fixed maturity securities. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of securities pledged under the repurchase program was $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, and the repurchase obligation of $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, was included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Genworth Financial, Inc.—holding company

We conduct all our operations through our operating subsidiaries. Dividends from our subsidiaries and permitted payments to us under our tax sharing arrangements with our subsidiaries are our principal sources of cash to pay stockholder dividends and to meet our holding company obligations, including payments of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. Other principal sources of cash include proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities, including borrowings pursuant to our credit facilities, and sales of assets.

Our primary uses of funds at our holding company level include payment of general operating expenses, payment of principal, interest and other expenses related to holding company debt, payment of dividends on our common and preferred stock, amounts we owe to GE under the Tax Matters Agreement, contributions to subsidiaries, repurchase of stock, and, potentially, acquisitions.

Our holding company had $1,140 million and $813 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our holding company also had $200 million in highly liquid U.S. government bonds as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

In November 2008, our Board of Directors decided to suspend the payment of dividends on our common stock indefinitely. The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent on many factors including the receipt of dividends from our operating subsidiaries, our financial condition and operating results, the capital requirements of our subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, our credit and financial strength ratings and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

Regulated insurance subsidiaries

The liquidity requirements of our regulated insurance subsidiaries principally relate to the liabilities associated with their various insurance and investment products, operating costs and expenses, the payment of dividends to us, contributions to their subsidiaries, payment of principal and interest on their outstanding debt obligations and income taxes. Liabilities arising from insurance and investment products include the payment of benefits, as well as cash payments in connection with policy surrenders and withdrawals, policy loans and obligations to redeem funding agreements.

Our insurance subsidiaries have used cash flows from operations and investment activities to fund their liquidity requirements. Our insurance subsidiaries’ principal cash inflows from operating activities are derived from premiums, annuity deposits and insurance and investment product fees and other income, including commissions, cost of insurance, mortality, expense and surrender charges, contract underwriting fees, investment management fees and dividends and distributions from their subsidiaries. The principal cash inflows from investment activities result from repayments of principal, investment income and, as necessary, sales of invested assets.

Table of Contents

Our insurance subsidiaries maintain investment strategies intended to provide adequate funds to pay benefits without forced sales of investments. Products having liabilities with longer durations, such as certain life insurance and long-term care insurance policies, are matched with investments having similar estimated lives such as long-term fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans. Shorter-term liabilities are matched with fixed maturity securities that have short- and medium-term fixed maturities. In addition, our insurance subsidiaries hold highly liquid, high-quality short-term investment securities and other liquid investment grade fixed maturity securities to fund anticipated operating expenses, surrenders and withdrawals. As of March 31, 2011, our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets were $71.8 billion. Our investments in privately placed fixed maturity securities, commercial mortgage loans, policy loans, limited partnership interests and select mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are relatively illiquid. These asset classes represented approximately 31% of the carrying value of our total cash, cash equivalents and invested assets as of March 31, 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, we had approximately $444 million of GICs outstanding. Substantially all of these contracts allow for the payment of benefits at contract value to Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) plans prior to contract maturity in the event of death, disability, retirement or change in investment election. These contracts also provide for early termination by the contractholder but are subject to an adjustment to the contract value for changes in the level of interest rates from the time the GIC was issued plus an early withdrawal penalty. We carefully underwrite these risks before issuing a GIC to a plan and historically have been able to effectively manage our exposure to these benefit payments. Our GICs typically credit interest at a fixed interest rate and have a fixed maturity generally ranging from two to six years.

Capital resources and financing activities

We have two five-year revolving credit facilities that mature in May 2012 and August 2012. These facilities bear variable interest rates based on one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin and we have access to $1.9 billion under these facilities. As of March 31, 2011, we had no borrowings under these facilities; however, we utilized $280 million under these facilities primarily for the issuance of letters of credit for the benefit of one of our life insurance subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2010, we had no borrowings under these facilities; however, we utilized $56 million under these facilities primarily for the issuance of letters of credit for the benefit of one of our lifestyle protection insurance subsidiaries.

In March 2011, we issued senior notes having an aggregate principal amount of $400 million, with an interest rate equal to 7.625% per year payable semi-annually, and maturing in September 2021 (“2021 Notes”). The 2021 Notes are our direct, unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. We have the option to redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at any time with proper notice to the note holders at a price equal to the greater of 100% of principal or the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest discounted at the then-current treasury rate plus an applicable spread. The net proceeds of $397 million from the issuance of the 2021 Notes were used for general corporate purposes.

We believe our revolving credit facilities and anticipated cash flows from operations will provide us with sufficient capital flexibility and liquidity to meet our future operating requirements, as well as optimize our capital structure. In addition, we actively monitor our liquidity position, liquidity generation options and the credit markets given changing market conditions. However, we cannot predict with any certainty the impact to us from any further disruptions in the credit markets or further downgrades by one or more of the rating agencies of the financial strength ratings of our insurance company subsidiaries and/or the credit ratings of our holding company. The availability of additional funding will depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, regulatory considerations, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to the financial services industry, the level of activity and availability of reinsurers, our credit ratings and credit capacity and the performance of and outlook for our business.

Genworth MI Canada Inc., our majority-owned subsidiary, plans to repurchase approximately CAD$160 million of its existing common shares, with the amount and timing subject to market conditions and customary approvals. We expect to receive approximately CAD$82 million after-tax in net proceeds, with no percentage change in ownership.

Contractual obligations and commercial commitments

We enter into obligations to third parties in the ordinary course of our operations. However, we do not believe that our cash flow requirements can be assessed based upon analysis of these obligations as the funding of these future cash obligations will be from future cash flows from premiums, deposits, fees and investment income that are not reflected herein. Future cash outflows, whether they are contractual obligations or not, also will vary based upon our future needs. Although some outflows are fixed, others depend on future events. Examples of fixed obligations include our obligations to pay principal and interest on fixed-rate borrowings. Examples of obligations that will vary include obligations to pay interest on variable-rate borrowings and insurance liabilities that depend on future interest rates and market performance. Many of our obligations are linked to cash-generating contracts. These obligations include payments to contractholders that assume those contractholders will continue to make deposits in accordance with the terms of their contracts. In addition, our operations involve significant expenditures that are not based upon “commitments.”

There have been no material additions or changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as set forth in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 25, 2011, except as discussed above under “—Capital resources and financing activities.” However, we announced in March 2011 that we intend to redeem all outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock on June 1, 2011, in accordance with their terms.

Securitization Entities

There were no off-balance sheet securitization transactions in the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.

New Accounting Standards

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of the loss of fair value resulting from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. Market risk is directly influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related underlying financial instruments are traded. The following is a discussion of our market risk exposures and our risk management practices.

Credit markets continued to show signs of improvement across most asset classes in the first quarter of 2011. See “—Business trends and conditions” and “—Investments and Derivative Instruments” in “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion of recent market conditions.

In the first quarter of 2011, the currencies in Canada and Australia strengthened against the U.S. dollar, while in Europe, the currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar, as compared to the first quarter of 2010 and remained relatively flat from the fourth quarter of 2010. This has generally resulted in higher levels of reported revenues and net income, assets, liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our U.S. dollar consolidated financial statements. See “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion on the impact changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

There were no other material changes in these risks since December 31, 2010.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item  1. Legal Proceedings

We face the risk of litigation and regulatory investigations and actions in the ordinary course of operating our businesses, including the risk of class action lawsuits. Our pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings specific to us and others generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which we operate. In our insurance operations, we are, have been, or may become subject to class actions and individual suits alleging, among other things, issues relating to sales or underwriting practices, increases to in-force long-term care insurance premiums, payment of contingent or other sales commissions, bidding practices in connection with our management and administration of a third-party’s municipal guaranteed investment contract business, claims payments and procedures, product design, product disclosure, administration, additional premium charges for premiums paid on a periodic basis, denial or delay of benefits, charging excessive or impermissible fees on products, recommending unsuitable products to customers, our pricing structures and business practices in our mortgage insurance businesses, such as captive reinsurance arrangements with lenders and contract underwriting services, violations of RESPA or related state anti-inducement laws, and breaching fiduciary or other duties to customers. Plaintiffs in class action and other lawsuits against us may seek very large or indeterminate amounts which may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In our investment-related operations, we are subject to litigation involving commercial disputes with counterparties. We are also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities such as our contractual and employment relationships. In addition, we are also subject to various regulatory inquiries, such as information requests, subpoenas, books and record examinations and market conduct and financial examinations from state, federal and international regulators and other authorities. A substantial legal liability or a significant regulatory action against us could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, even if we ultimately prevail in the litigation, regulatory action or investigation, we could suffer significant reputational harm, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Except as disclosed below, there were no material developments during the three months ended March 31, 2011 in any of the legal proceedings identified in Part I, Item 3 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, there were no new material legal proceedings during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

As previously disclosed, in December 2009, one of our non-insurance subsidiaries, one of the subsidiary’s officers and Genworth Financial, Inc. were named in a putative class action lawsuit captioned Michael J. Goodman and Linda Brown v. Genworth Financial Wealth Management, Inc., et al, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. In response to our motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety, the Court granted on March 30, 2011 the motion to dismiss the state law fiduciary duty claim and denied the motion to dismiss the remaining federal claims. We continue to vigorously defend this action.

As previously disclosed, we and one of our mortgage insurance subsidiaries were named in a putative class action lawsuit filed in November 2010 captioned Archie Moses and Violet M. Moses v. SunTrust Banks, Inc., et al, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. On March 10, 2011, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the action without prejudice as to Genworth Financial, Inc. and our mortgage insurance subsidiary.

We cannot ensure that the current investigations and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, it is possible that related investigations and proceedings may be commenced in the future, and we could become subject to additional unrelated investigations and lawsuits. Increased regulatory scrutiny and any resulting investigations or proceedings could result in new legal precedents and industry-wide regulations or practices that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Item  1A. Risk Factors

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner. As of March 31, 2011, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in the above-referenced filing.
