Net investment losses, net of tax and other adjustments, were $28 million in the quarter compared to net investment gains of $17 million in the prior year. Total investment impairments, net of tax, were $7 million in the current quarter and $10 million in the prior year.
In March 2013, the company entered into an agreement to sell the wealth management business. Beginning in the first quarter of 2013, this business is being separately presented as discontinued operations and all prior periods herein have been re-presented. During the quarter, the company recognized $27 million from a goodwill impairment and other loss related to the sale of the wealth management business, partially offset by $7 million of income from discontinued operations. The company expects the transaction to close in the second half of 2013, subject to customary closing conditions, including requisite regulatory approvals, and anticipates recording an additional after-tax loss of up to $10 million at that time. Assets under management as of March 31, 2013 for the wealth management business were $23.1 billion.
The company has a practice of refunding the post-delinquent premiums in our U.S. mortgage insurance business to the insured party if the delinquent loan goes to claim. The companys historical accounting practice was to account for these premium refunds as a reduction in premiums upon payment. In the first quarter of 2013, the company determined that it should have been recording a liability for premiums received on the delinquent loans where its practice was to refund post-delinquent premiums. This error was not material to the companys consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as presented in its previously filed annual and quarterly financial statements; however, the adjustment to correct the cumulative effect of this error would have been material if recorded in the first quarter of 2013. The company restated the financial information to correct this error for all periods presented herein. The cumulative decrease to retained earnings was $46 million as of January 1, 2012.

U.S. Life Insurance Division
Highlights
| U.S. Life Insurance Division net operating income was $85 million, compared with $76 million in the prior quarter and $64 million a year ago. Results reflected favorable mortality experience across the life insurance, long term care insurance and fixed annuity product lines. |
| Sales were down reflecting a combination of second half of 2012 product and pricing changes. |
4
| The consolidated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio is estimated to be approximately 450 percent3, up from approximately 430 percent at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012. |
Life Insurance
Life insurance net operating income was $36 million, compared with $49 million in the prior quarter and $6 million in the prior year. While results in the current quarter benefited from favorable mortality experience versus expectations, mortality was less favorable than the prior quarter because of higher severity. Results also reflected lower in force margins versus the prior quarter. Results in the prior quarter included a $3 million after-tax gain related to selective repurchases of notes secured by non-recourse funding obligations. Results in the prior year included a $41 million GAAP after-tax net loss from the companys first life block transaction, partially offset by $13 million of favorable interest expense associated with an adjustment related to the tax matters agreement with our former parent. Sales were down $15 million versus the prior quarter and $34 million versus the prior year reflecting the product and pricing changes made in the second half of 2012. The company continues to make pricing and product changes and anticipates launching new universal life insurance products beginning in the second quarter of 2013.
Long Term Care Insurance
Long term care insurance net operating income was $20 million, compared with $7 million in the prior quarter and $35 million in the prior year. The current quarter included $6 million of net favorable actuarial reserve and other adjustments. Relative to the prior quarter, improved claim termination rates resulted in $14 million lower incurred losses. Claim termination rates were also favorable relative to the prior year, but were more than offset by a higher average reserve build on new claims and other adjustments. Earnings were reduced by $9 million from the prior quarter as investment yields were impacted primarily from lower limited partnership income. Earnings were also reduced by $7 million from the prior year as investment yields were impacted by lower limited partnership income and the low interest rate environment. These investment yield impacts were partially offset by net investment income on assets backing growth of the block. Results in the prior quarter included a $5 million unfavorable refinement to reserves to more fully reflect the low interest rate environment. Results in the prior year included a $10 million favorable actuarial reserve adjustment as part of a multi-stage system conversion. The reported loss ratio for the current quarter was 69 percent.
Individual long term care sales decreased from the prior quarter to $35 million as the accelerated sales in the prior quarter ahead of the previously announced pricing and portfolio actions subsided. The company continues to utilize reinsurance in long term care insurance as part of its capital optimization strategies.
3 | Company estimate for the first quarter of 2013, due to timing of the filing of statutory statements. |

Effective March 21, 2013, the company suspended sales of individual long term care insurance products in California in light of the return profile on those products which were an earlier generation of product that did not have the benefits and pricing changes associated with the new products. The companys individual long term care insurance product filing has now been approved in California and the current intent is to launch this new product in California during the third quarter of 2013.
Additionally, on April 15, 2013, the company launched a new product, Privileged Choice Flex 2, in 31 states, which includes underwriting improvements such as gender distinct pricing for single applicants and blood and lab underwriting requirements for all applicants. These changes may have a temporary impact on sales levels.
In addition, the company is announcing the cessation of new sales of AARP-branded long term care insurance products as the company focuses on long term care insurance sales and product offerings to improve returns. Existing insureds coverage will not be affected by this change. There may be temporary increases in long term care insurance sales levels as a result of these actions.
In the third quarter of 2012, the company filed for long term care in force premium rate increases with the goal of achieving an average premium increase in excess of 50 percent on older generation policies and an average premium increase in excess of 25 percent on an earlier series of new generation policies over the next five years. The premium rate increases are designed to mitigate losses on the older generation policies. Although the earlier series of the newer generation policies have generated positive operating earnings to date, the rate increase on these policies will help offset lower than priced-for returns due to lower interest rates, unfavorable business mix and lower lapse rates than expected. Subject to regulatory approval, this premium rate increase should generate approximately $200 to $300 million of additional annual premiums when fully implemented over the next five years. As of March 31, 2013, this round of rate action has been filed in 49 states and the company has received approvals representing approximately $60 to $65 million of the targeted premium increase.
Fixed Annuities
Fixed annuities net operating income was $29 million, compared with $20 million in the prior quarter and $23 million in the prior year. Results in the quarter included more favorable mortality of $10 million versus the prior quarter and $9 million versus the prior year. Results in the prior year reflected a release of a $3 million expense accrual related to state guarantee funds. Sales in the quarter totaled $107 million and were down both sequentially and from the prior year as the company continued to maintain margins in the low interest rate environment.

U.S. Life Companies Capital
The consolidated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio is estimated to be approximately 450 percent3, up from approximately 430 percent at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012, from improved equity markets, favorable credit markets and investment portfolio actions that reduced required capital.
Global Mortgage Insurance Division
Global Mortgage Insurance Division had net operating income of $102 million, compared with net operating income of $133 million in the prior quarter and a net operating loss of $37 million a year ago.

Canada Mortgage Insurance
Canada operating earnings of $42 million were down from $114 million in the prior quarter and up from $37 million in the prior year. Results in the prior quarter included a $78 million after-tax favorable adjustment from the reversal of the accrued liability for exit fees related to the government guarantee fund. The loss ratio in the quarter was 31 percent, flat to the prior quarter and down from 38 percent in the prior year from lower new delinquencies, net of cures, and continued improvement in Alberta. Total delinquencies were down nine percent sequentially from the maturing of the larger 2007 and 2008 books of business and continued improvement in Alberta. Flow NIW was down 25 percent4 sequentially and six percent4 year over year from regulatory changes to the rules governing the issuance of high loan-to-value residential mortgages made in July 2012 and normal seasonal variation. In addition, the company completed several bulk transactions, consisting of low loan-to-value prime loans, of approximately $2.4 billion reflecting its selective participation in this market. At quarter end, the Canada mortgage insurance business had a regulatory capital ratio of 216 percent3, well in excess of regulatory requirements. GAAP book value was $3.0 billion, of which $1.7 billion represented Genworths 57.4 percent ownership interest.

Results in the prior year reflected a $53 million after-tax impact from reserve strengthening. Results in the prior quarter included favorable taxes.

seasonal variation. Flow NIW was down 18 percent4 sequentially because of a smaller origination market and up three percent4 year over year.

U.S. Mortgage Insurance Segment
Highlights
| U.S. MI net operating income was $21 million, compared with a net operating loss of $32 million in the prior quarter and a net operating loss of $44 million in the prior year. |
| Flow NIW decreased eight percent from the prior quarter and increased 57 percent over the prior year to $4.7 billion. |
| The combined risk-to-capital ratio as of March 31, 2013 is estimated at 24.2:13. |
| On April 1, 2013, the company announced the completion of the comprehensive U.S. MI capital plan and contributed $100 million of capital to U.S. MI as part of the plan. |
U.S. MI net operating income was $21 million, compared with a net operating loss of $32 million in the prior quarter and a net operating loss of $44 million in the prior year. Results in the quarter included a $4.5 million charge related to the settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced on April 4, 2013.
Total flow delinquencies decreased 10 percent sequentially and 22 percent versus the prior year. New flow delinquencies decreased approximately 12 percent from the prior quarter and decreased approximately 18 percent from the prior year, reflecting the continued burn through of delinquencies from the 2005 to 2008 book years. The flow average reserve per delinquency was $29,800, up slightly from the prior quarter.
Loss mitigation savings were $159 million in the quarter, down slightly from the prior quarter. The company remains on track to achieve full year loss mitigation savings of $250 to $350 million.
Total losses were down $96 million compared to the prior quarter from lower new delinquencies, seasonal benefits in cures and favorable changes in aging.
Flow NIW of $4.7 billion decreased eight percent over the prior quarter from normal seasonal variation in the origination market and increased 57 percent versus the prior year reflecting an increase in both refinance and
9
purchase private mortgage insurance penetration and a larger origination market and stable market share. Overall private mortgage insurance market penetration was flat to the prior quarter and up approximately three points year over year. The companys market share at the end of the quarter is estimated to be 12 percent. Flow persistency was 80 percent. In addition, the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) accounted for about $2.1 billion in the quarter of insurance that is treated as a modification of the coverage on existing insurance in force rather than NIW.
The combined U.S. MI statutory risk-to-capital ratio is estimated at 24.2:13 at the end of the first quarter with the risk-to-capital ratio for Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation (GMICO) estimated at 26.4:13. GMICO currently maintains waivers or other authorizations from 45 states that permit the company to continue writing new business while its risk-to-capital ratio exceeds 25.0:1. Additionally, the company has separately capitalized and licensed legal entities to write new business for states where waivers are not in place, subject to the approval of applicable regulators and the GSEs (government sponsored entities) approval. Currently, new business in four states is being written out of Genworth Residential Mortgage Assurance Corporation (GRMAC), a subsidiary of GMICO.
On April 1, 2013, the company announced that the comprehensive U.S. MI capital plan has received all necessary approvals and has been fully implemented. As part of the comprehensive capital plan, Genworth contributed $100 million to GMICO on April 1, 2013. The contribution has a favorable impact to GMICOs risk-to-capital ratio of approximately three points.
Given the trends of new delinquencies, reserves, new insurance written, loss mitigation benefits and mortgage insurance penetration, and assuming no significant deterioration in the U.S. housing market or material global economic downturns, the company continues to believe these trends create the conditions for continued improvement in earnings for the U.S. mortgage insurance business. The company has not changed its view that the U.S. MI business will have a potential return to breakeven or modest profitability during one or two quarters in 2013.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure entitled net operating income (loss). The chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources on the basis of net operating income (loss). The company defines net operating income (loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the after-tax effects of income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net investment gains (losses), goodwill impairments, gains (losses) on the sale of businesses and infrequent or unusual non-operating items. The company excludes net investment gains (losses) and infrequent or unusual non-operating items because the company does not consider them to be related to the operating performance of the
13
companys segments and Corporate and Other activities. A component of the companys 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 the companys discretion and are influenced by market opportunities, as well as asset-liability matching considerations. Goodwill impairments and gains (losses) on the sale of businesses are also excluded from net operating income (loss) because in the companys opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. Other non-operating items are also excluded from net operating income (loss) if, in the companys opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends.
While some of these items may be significant components of net income (loss) available to Genworths common stockholders in accordance with GAAP, the company believes that net operating income (loss) and measures that are derived from or incorporate net operating income (loss), including net operating income (loss) per common share on a basic and diluted basis, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the income (loss) attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Management also uses net operating income (loss) as a basis for determining awards and compensation for senior management and to evaluate performance on a basis comparable to that used by analysts. However, the items excluded from net operating income (loss) have occurred in the past and could, and in some cases will, recur in the future. Net operating income (loss) and net operating income (loss) per common share on a basic and diluted basis are not substitutes for net income (loss) available to Genworths common stockholders or net income (loss) available to Genworths common stockholders per common share on a basic and diluted basis determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the companys definition of net operating income (loss) may differ from the definitions used by other companies. There were no infrequent or unusual non-operating items excluded from net operating income during the periods presented in this press release. The tables at the end of this press release reflect net operating income (loss) as determined in accordance with accounting guidance related to segment reporting, and a reconciliation of net operating income (loss) of the companys segments and Corporate and Other activities to net income available to Genworths common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measure entitled core yield as a measure of investment yield. The company defines core yield as the investment yield adjusted for those items that are not recurring in nature. Management believes that analysis of core yield enhances understanding of the investment yield of the company. However, core yield as defined by the company should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP investment yield. In addition, the companys definition of core yield may differ from the definitions used by other companies. A reconciliation of core yield to reported GAAP yield is included in a table at the end of this press release.

Definition of Selected Operating Performance Measures
The company reports selected operating performance measures including sales 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 and long term care insurance products; (2) annualized first-year deposits plus five percent of excess deposits for universal and term universal life insurance products; (3) 10 percent of premium deposits for linked-benefits products; (4) new and additional premiums/deposits for fixed annuities; (5) new insurance written for mortgage insurance; and (6) written premiums and deposits, gross of ceded reinsurance and cancellations, and premium equivalents, where the company earns a fee for administrative services only business, for the lifestyle protection insurance business. Sales do not include renewal premiums on policies or contracts written during prior periods. The company considers annualized first-year premiums/deposits, premium equivalents, new premiums/deposits, written premiums and new insurance written to be a measure of the companys operating performance because they represent a measure of new sales of insurance policies or contracts during a specified period, rather than a measure of the companys revenues or profitability during that period.
Management regularly monitors and reports insurance in force and risk in force. Insurance in force for the 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 the risk in force in the international mortgage insurance business, the company has 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 percent that represents the highest expected average per-claim payment for any one underwriting year over the life of the companys businesses in Canada and Australia. Risk in force for the U.S. mortgage insurance business is the obligation that is limited under contractual terms to the amounts less than 100 percent of the mortgage loan value. The company considers insurance in force and risk in force to be a measure of the companys operating performance because they represent a measure of the size of the business at a specific date which will generate revenues and profits in a future period, rather than a measure of the companys revenues or profitability during that period.
This press release also includes information related to loss mitigation activities for the U.S. mortgage insurance business. The company defines loss mitigation activities as rescissions, cancellations, borrower loan modifications, repayment plans, lender- and borrower-titled presales, claims administration and other loan workouts. 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
15
related loss mitigation actions represent the reduction in carried loss reserves. Estimated savings related to claims mitigation activities represent amounts deducted or curtailed from claims due to acts or omissions by the servicer with respect to the servicing of an insured loan that is not in compliance with obligations under our master policy. For non-cure related actions, including presales, the estimated savings represent the difference between the full claim obligation and the actual amount paid. The company believes that this information helps to enhance the understanding of the operating performance of the U.S. mortgage insurance business as loss mitigation activities specifically impact current and future loss reserves and level of claim payments.
This press release also includes the metric entitled underwriting margin related to the lifestyle protection business. The company defines underwriting margin as underwriting profit divided by net earned premiums. Underwriting profit is defined as premiums less benefits and other changes in reserves, commissions (which include amortization of deferred acquisition costs) and profit share expenses. Management believes that this analysis of underwriting margin enhances the understanding of the lifestyle protection business.
These operating measures enable the company to compare its 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.
