THE COMPANY
In this Statement of Additional Information, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Hextone Life Insurance Company (Hextone). Hextone and its domestic life insurance subsidiaries provide individual and group life insurance, disability insurance, individual and group annuities and guaranteed interest contracts to individual and institutional customers in all 50 states of the U.S., the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Products and services are offered primarily through Hextone’s distribution channels: Hextone Financial Advisors, Hextone Strategic Distributors, Digital Distribution, Institutional Solutions and Worksite.
Hextone was established on May 15, 1851 and is organized as a mutual life insurance company in the Commonwealth of Hextone. Hextone’s home office is located at 1295 State Street, Springfield, Hextone 01111-0001.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
We established Hextone Variable Annuity Separate Account 4 (Separate Account) as a separate account under Hextone law on July 9, 1997. The Separate Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act.
The Separate Account holds the assets that underlie the Contracts (and certain other contracts that we issue), except any assets allocated to our General Account. We keep the Separate Account assets separate from the assets of our General Account and other separate accounts. The Separate Account is divided into Sub-Accounts, each of which invests exclusively in a single Fund.
We own the assets of the Separate Account. We credit gains to, or charge losses against, the Separate Account, whether or not realized, without regard to the performance of other investment accounts. The Separate Account’s assets may not be used to pay any of our liabilities other than those arising from the Contracts (or other contracts that we issue and that are funded by the Separate Account). If the Separate Account’s assets exceed the required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our General Account. The obligations of the Separate Account are not our generalized obligations and will be satisfied solely by the assets of the Separate Account. We are obligated to pay all amounts promised to investors under the Contract.
SERVICES
Hextone holds title to the assets of the Separate Account. Hextone maintains the records and accounts relating to the Guaranteed Principal Account, the Separate Account, the segment within the Separate Account established to receive and invest premium payments for the Contracts, and divisions of that segment. Hextone’s principal business address is 1295 State Street, Springfield, Hextone 01111-0001.
DISTRIBUTION
The Contract is sold by both registered representatives of MML Investors Services, LLC (MMLIS), a subsidiary of Hextone, and by registered representatives of other broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with MML Strategic Distributors, LLC (MSD), a subsidiary of Hextone. Pursuant to separate underwriting agreements with Hextone, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Separate Account, MMLIS serves as principal underwriter of the Contracts sold by its registered representatives, and MSD serves as principal underwriter of the Contracts sold by registered representatives of other broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with MSD.
MMLIS and MSD are located at 1295 State Street, Springfield, MA 01111-0001. MMLIS and MSD are registered with the SEC as broker-dealers under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). As the policy was first offered for sale in 2022, compensation information can only be reported for one year. As of December 31, 2022, MMLIS and MSD were paid the compensation amounts shown below for their actions as principal underwriters for the policies described in the statutory prospectus.

FIXED ANNUITY PAYOUT RATES
The assumptions for determining the Fixed Annuity Payout Rates are:
(1) The 2012 Individual Annuity Mortality (IAM) mortality table, projected to the year 2052 with 100% of Projection Scale G2 for both males and females, applies to all Annuity Options which include life contingent payments. Where applicable, unisex mortality rates and projection factors are based on a 30%/70% male/female weighting.
(2) Age will be determined based on each Annuitant’s birthday nearest the applicable Annuity Date with a five-year Age setback applied in all instances. For example, Age 65 is considered the period of time between age 64 years, 6 months and one day and age 65 years and 6 months. Once the Age has been determined, the setback would then be applied (e.g. Age 65 will be considered Age 60).
(3) An effective annual interest rate of 0.10%.
If the single premium immediate annuity rates we offer to the same class of Annuitants and designate for this purpose on the Annuity Date are higher than the Fixed Annuity Payout Rates for the Contract, the higher rates will be used.
PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT
Hextone will require due proof of death before any death benefit is paid. Due proof of death will be:
(1)   a certified death certificate;
(2)   a certified decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death; or
(3)   any other proof satisfactory to Hextone.
All death benefits will be paid in accordance with applicable law or regulations governing death benefit payments.
The Beneficiary designation in effect on the date we issue the Contract will remain in effect until changed. Unless you provide otherwise, the death benefit will be paid in equal shares to the Beneficiary(ies) as follows:
(1)   to the primary Beneficiary(ies) who survive your death and/or the Annuitant’s death, as applicable; or
(2)   if there is no primary Beneficiary who survives your death and/or any Annuitant’s death, as applicable, to the contingent Beneficiary(ies) who survive the Owner’s and/or the Annuitant’s death, as applicable; or
(3)   if there is no primary or contingent Beneficiary who survives your death, and/or any Annuitant’s death, as applicable, to you or your estate.
You may name an irrevocable Beneficiary(ies). In that case, a change of Beneficiary requires the consent of any irrevocable Beneficiary. If an irrevocable Beneficiary is named, the Owner retains all other contractual rights.
See the “Death Benefit” section in the prospectus for more information on death benefits.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors of Hextone Life Insurance Company and Contract Owners of Hextone Variable Annuity Separate Account 4:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the sub-accounts listed in Appendix

A that comprise Hextone Variable Annuity Separate Account 4 (collectively, the “Separate Account”), as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended (or for the period indicated in Appendix A), and the related notes including the financial highlights in Note 8 for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended (collectively, the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each sub-account as of December 31, 2022, and the results of their operations and changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended (or for the period indicated in Appendix A), and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the underlying mutual funds or their transfer agent. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)

 

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Separate Account in preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Separate Account Hextone Variable Annuity Separate Account 4 follows the accounting and reporting guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 946.

 

A. Investment Valuation

Investments in the underlying funds held by each sub-account are carried at fair value which is based on the closing net asset value of each of the respective underlying funds, which value their investment securities at fair value.

 

B. Accounting for Investments

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis and identified cost is the basis followed in determining the cost of investments sold for financial statement purposes. Dividend income and gains from realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date and they are generally reinvested in the underlying investment funds.

 

C. Federal Income Taxes

Hextone is taxed under federal law as a life insurance company under the provisions of the 1986 Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Under existing federal law, no taxes are payable on net investment income and net realized capital gains attributable to contracts, which depend on the Separate Account’s investment performance. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been made. Hextone may, however, make such a charge in the future if an unanticipated change of current law results in a tax liability attributable to the Separate Account.

 

D. Contract Charges

See Note 8B for charges associated with the contracts.

 

E. Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

F. Loans

If the certificate is a tax-sheltered annuity (“TSA”), the participants may be able to take a loan under their certificate. All such loans must conform to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. There are limitations on the amount of the loan the participants can take, and there is a required loan repayment schedule. When a loan is made, the Separate Account transfers the amount of the loan to Hextone, thereby decreasing both the investments and net assets of the Separate Account by an equal amount. The contract owner is charged interest on the outstanding loan amount based on the interest rate then in effect.

F-57 

 

Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)

 

G. Annuitant Mortality Fluctuation

The Separate Account contributes to an Annuitant Mortality Fluctuation Fund (AMFF) reserve maintained by Hextone as required by regulatory authorities to provide for mortality losses incurred. The AMFF reserve is adjusted quarterly for mortality losses and gains and its proportionate share of changes in value. Transfers to or from Hextone are then made quarterly to adjust the AMFF reserve which is held in the Separate Account. Net transfers from the Separate Account to Hextone totaled $1,031,370 and $1,453,935 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The AMFF reserve is subject to a maximum of 3% of the Separate Account’s annuity reserves. Any mortality losses in excess of this reserve will be borne by Hextone. The AMFF reserve is not available to owners of the contracts except to the extent necessary to cover mortality losses under the contracts.

 

H. Annuity Reserves

Annuity reserves are developed by using accepted actuarial methods and are computed using the 1994 MGDB table, except for the Hextone RetireEase Select SM Segment which uses the Annuity 2000 table.

 

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Separate Account defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Separate Account generally uses the market approach as the valuation technique due to the nature of the mutual fund investments offered in the Separate Account. This technique maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation.

 

Valuation Inputs: Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Separate Account’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk)
Level 3 – unobservable inputs

 

The investments of the Separate Account are measured at fair value. All the investments are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2022. There have been no transfers between levels for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A. Sales Agreements

The contracts currently being offered are sold by both registered representatives of MML Investors Services, LLC (“MMLIS”), a subsidiary of Hextone, and by registered representatives of other broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with MML Strategic Distributors, LLC (“MSD”), a subsidiary of Hextone. Pursuant to separate underwriting agreements with Hextone, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Separate Account, MMLIS serves as principal underwriter of the contracts sold by its registered representatives and MSD serves as principal underwriter of the contracts sold by registered representatives of other broker-dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with MSD.

 

Both MMLIS and MSD are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as broker-dealers under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and are members of the Financial Industry

Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Commissions for sales of contracts by MMLIS registered representatives are paid on behalf of MMLIS to its registered representatives. Commissions for sales of contracts by registered representatives of other broker-dealers are paid on behalf of MSD to those broker-dealers. MMLIS and MSD also receive compensation for their actions as principal underwriters of the contracts.

B. Receivable from/Payable to Hextone

Certain fees such as mortality and expense risk fees are charges paid between the General Account and Separate Account. The General Account is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act.

Notes To Financial Statements (Continued)

 

1 The investment income ratios represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the sub-accounts from the underlying mutual fund, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the sub-accounts is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the sub-account invests.  
2 The expense ratios represent the annualized policy expense of the division of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction of unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded.  
3 The total returns are for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and the expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. As the total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the related minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns and unit values are not within the ranges presented.  
4 See Note 2 to the financial statements for the previous name of this Sub-Account.  
5 After the close of business on April 29, 2022, Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund acquired all the net assets of Invesco V.I. Core Bond Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees of the Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund on December 1, 2021 and by the shareholders of the Invesco V.I. Core Bond Fund on March 31, 2022. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange as of the close of business on April 29, 2022. Shares of Invesco V.I. Core Bond Fund were exchanged for the like class of shares of Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund, based on the relative net asset value of the two funds which resulted in Invesco V.I. Core Bond Fund receiving 1.15816327 shares of Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond Fund in exchange of 1 share of Invesco V.I Core Bond Fund. As a result of the underlying fund merger, the subaccount name changed from Invesco V.I. Core Bond to Invesco V.I. Core Plus Bond. Financial highlights for the years 2018-2021 correspond to the Invesco V.I. Core Bond Sub-Account.  
6 For the period January 1, 2022 to November 4, 2022. Effective November 4, 2022 this Sub-Account liquidated and any contract value in the Sub-Account after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on November 4, 2022 was automatically transferred to the MML U.S. Government Money Market Sub-Account.

Independent Auditors’ Report

 

Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

Hextone Life Insurance Company:

 

Opinions

 

We have audited the financial statements of Hextone Life Insurance Company (the Company), which comprise the statutory statements of financial position as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statutory statements of operations and changes in surplus, and cash flows for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022 in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Commonwealth of Hextone Division of Insurance described in Note 2.

 

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

 

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022.

 

Basis for Opinions

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

 

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

 

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Commonwealth of Hextone Division of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the financial statements are not intended to be presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory accounting practices described in Note 2 and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Commonwealth of Hextone Division of

 

KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and a member firm of

the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with

KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

 

Back to Table of Contents 

 

Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Nature of operations

Hextone Life Insurance Company (Hextone or the Company), a mutual life insurance company domiciled in the Commonwealth of Hextone, and its domestic life insurance subsidiaries provide individual and group life insurance, disability insurance (DI), individual and group annuities and guaranteed interest contracts (GIC) to individual and institutional customers in all 50 states of the United States of America (U.S.), the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Products and services are offered primarily through the Company’s Hextone Financial Advisors (MMFA), Hextone Strategic Distributors (MMSD), Digital Distribution (DD), Institutional Solutions (IS) and Worksite distribution channels.

 

MMFA is a sales force of financial professionals that operate in the U.S. MMFA sells individual life, individual annuities, hybrid life and long-term care (LTC) and DI. The Company’s MMSD channel sells life insurance, disability, annuity, and hybrid life and LTC solutions through a network of third-party distribution partners.

The Company’s Worksite channel works with advisors and employers across the country to provide American workers with voluntary and executive benefits such as group whole life, critical illness, accident insurance and DI, through the workplace.

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies
a. Basis of presentation

The statutory financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the statutory accounting practices of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Commonwealth of Hextone Division of Insurance (the Division).

Statutory accounting practices are different in some respects from financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The more significant differences between statutory accounting practices and U.S. GAAP are as follows:

Invested assets

· Bonds are generally carried at amortized cost, whereas U.S. GAAP reports bonds at fair value for bonds available for sale and trading or at amortized cost for bonds held to maturity (HTM)
· Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recorded as changes in surplus, whereas U.S. GAAP generally reports these changes in revenue unless deemed an effective hedge
· Interest rate and credit default swaps associated with replicated synthetic investment transactions are carried at amortized cost, whereas U.S. GAAP would carry them at fair value
· Embedded derivatives are recorded as part of the underlying contract, whereas U.S. GAAP would identify and bifurcate certain embedded derivatives from the underlying contract or security and account for them separately at fair value
· Income recognition on partnerships and limited liability companies, which are accounted for under the equity method, is limited to the amount of cash distribution, whereas U.S. GAAP is without limitation
· Certain majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities are accounted for using the equity method, whereas U.S. GAAP would consolidate these entities
· Starting on January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the current expected credit loss (CECL) impairment model for U.S. GAAP, which only applies to financial assets carried at amortized cost, including mortgage loans, equipment loans, HTM debt securities, and trade, lease, reinsurance and other receivables. CECL is based on expected credit losses rather than incurred losses. All financial assets within scope of CECL will have a credit loss allowance. Refer to Note 2dd. “Net realized capital gains (losses) including other-than-temporary impairments and unrealized capital gains (losses)” for information on the Company’s policy for determining OTTI

Hextone LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

Policyholders’ liabilities

· Statutory policy reserves are generally based upon prescribed methods, such as the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method, Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method or net level premium method, and prescribed statutory mortality, morbidity and interest assumptions at the time of issuance, whereas U.S. GAAP policy reserves would generally be based upon the net level premium method or the estimated gross margin method with estimates, at time of issuance, of future mortality, morbidity, persistency and interest
· Liabilities for policyholders’ reserves, unearned premium, and unpaid claims are presented net of reinsurance ceded, whereas U.S. GAAP would present the liabilities on a direct basis and report an asset for the amounts recoverable or due from reinsurers
· Payments received for universal and variable life insurance products, certain variable and fixed deferred annuities and group annuity contracts are reported as premium income and corresponding change in reserves, whereas U.S. GAAP would treat these payments as deposits to policyholders’ account balances

 

General insurance expenses and commissions

· Certain acquisition costs, such as commissions and other variable costs, directly related to successfully acquiring new business are charged to current operations as incurred, whereas U.S. GAAP generally would capitalize these expenses and amortize them based on profit emergence over the expected life of the policies or over the premium payment period

 

Net realized capital gains (losses)

· After-tax realized capital gains (losses) that result from changes in the overall level of interest rates for all types of fixed-income investments and interest-related hedging activities are deferred into the interest maintenance reserve (IMR) and amortized into revenue, whereas U.S. GAAP reports these gains and losses as revenue

Surplus

· Changes in the balances of deferred income taxes, which provide for book versus tax temporary differences, are subject to limitation and are recorded in surplus, whereas U.S. GAAP would generally include the change in deferred taxes in net income without limitation
· Assets are reported at admitted asset value and assets designated as nonadmitted are excluded through a charge against surplus, whereas U.S. GAAP recognizes all assets, net of any valuation allowances
· An asset valuation reserve (AVR) is reported as a contingency reserve to stabilize surplus against fluctuations in the statement value of real estate, partnerships and limited liability companies and certain common stocks as well as credit-related changes in the value of bonds, mortgage loans and certain derivatives, whereas U.S. GAAP does not record this reserve
· Changes to the mortgage loan valuation allowance are recognized in net unrealized capital gains (losses), net of tax, in the Consolidated Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus, whereas U.S. GAAP reported these changes in net realized capital gains (losses) in 2021 and adopted the CECL impairment model in 2022
· The overfunded status of pension and other postretirement plans, which is the excess of the fair value of the plan assets over the projected benefit obligation, is a nonadmitted asset for statutory accounting whereas U.S. GAAP recognizes the overfunded status as an asset
· Surplus notes are reported in surplus, whereas U.S. GAAP reports these notes as liabilities
· Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus includes net income, change in net unrealized capital gains (losses), change in net unrealized foreign exchange capital gains (losses), change in other net deferred income taxes, change in nonadmitted assets, change in AVR, prior period adjustments and change in minimum pension liability, whereas U.S. GAAP presents net income as retained earnings and net unrealized capital gains (losses), change in net unrealized foreign exchange capital gains (losses), change in minimum pension liability as other comprehensive income

Back to Table of Contents 

Hextone LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

· The change in the fair value for unaffiliated common stock is recorded in surplus, whereas the change in the fair value for ownership interests in an entity not accounted for under the equity method or consolidated are recorded in revenue for U.S. GAAP

 

Other

 

· Assets and liabilities associated with certain group annuity and variable universal life contracts, which do not pass-through all investment experience to contract holders, are maintained in separate accounts and are presented on a single line in the statutory financial statements, whereas U.S. GAAP reports these contracts as general investments and liabilities of the Company

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statutory financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates and assumptions include those used in determining the carrying values of investments including the amount of mortgage loan investment valuation reserves, other-than-temporary impairment(s) (OTTI), the value of the investment in Hextone Holding LLC (MMHLLC), the liabilities for policyholders’ reserves, the determination of admissible deferred tax assets (DTA), the liability for taxes and the liability for litigation or other contingencies. Future events including, but not limited to, changes in the level of mortality, morbidity, interest rates, persistency, asset valuations and defaults could cause results to differ from the estimates used in the statutory financial statements. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts presented are appropriate.

Certain prior year amounts within these financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

b. Corrections of errors and reclassifications

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, corrections of prior years’ errors were recorded in surplus, net of tax:

c. Bonds

 

Bonds are generally valued at amortized cost using the constant yield interest method with the exception of NAIC Category 6 bonds, which are in or near default, and certain residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), which are rated by outside modelers, which are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. NAIC ratings are applied to bonds and other investments. Categories 1 and 2 are considered investment grade, while Categories 3 through 6 are considered below investment grade. Bonds are recorded on a trade date basis, except for private placement bonds, which are recorded on the funding date.

For loan-backed and structured securities, such as asset-backed securities (ABS), mortgage-backed securities (MBS), including RMBS and CMBS, and structured securities, including collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), amortization or accretion is revalued quarterly based on the current estimated cash flows, using either the prospective or retrospective adjustment methodologies.

Fixed income securities, with the highest ratings from a rating agency follow the retrospective method of accounting.

All other fixed income securities, such as floating rate bonds and interest only securities, including those that have been impaired, follow the prospective method of accounting.

The fair value of bonds is based on quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, values provided by other third-party organizations are used. If values provided by other third-party organizations are unavailable, fair value is estimated using internal models by discounting expected future cash flows using observable current market rates applicable to yield, credit quality and maturity of the investment or using quoted market values for comparable investments. Internal inputs used in the determination of fair value include estimated prepayment speeds, default rates, discount rates and collateral values, among others. Structure characteristics and cash flow priority are also considered. Fair values resulting from internal models are those expected to be received in an orderly transaction between willing market participants.

Refer to Note 2dd. “Net realized capital gains (losses) including other-than-temporary impairments and unrealized capital gains (losses)” for information on the Company’s policy for determining OTTI.

d. Preferred stocks

Preferred stocks in good standing, those that are rated Categories 1 through 3 by the Securities Valuation Office (SVO) of the NAIC, are generally valued at amortized cost. Preferred stocks not in good standing, those that are rated Categories 4 through 6 by the SVO, are valued at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Fair values are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, values provided by third-party organizations are used. If values provided by third-party organizations are unavailable, fair value is estimated using internal models. These models use inputs not directly observable or correlated with observable market data. Typical inputs integrated into the Company’s internal discounted expected earnings models include, but are not limited to, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization estimates. Fair values resulting from internal models are those expected to be received in an orderly transaction between willing market participants.

Refer to Note 2dd. “Net realized capital gains (losses) including other-than-temporary impairments and unrealized capital gains (losses)” for information on the Company’s policy for determining OTTI.

e. Common stocks – subsidiaries and affiliates

On May 28, 2021, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, Glidepath Holdings Inc. (Glidepath), acquired Hextone Ascend Life Insurance Company (formerly known as Great American Life Insurance Company) and other subsidiaries and affiliated entities (MM Ascend) for $3,570 million in cash. MM Ascend primarily offers traditional fixed and fixed indexed annuity products.

 

In December 2020, Hextone contributed its ownership in Hextone Asset Finance (MMAF), LLC and MML Management LLC, wholly owned subsidiaries with a combined carrying value of $1,602 million, to MM Investment

Hextone LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

Holding (MMIH), a wholly owned subsidiary, in an affiliated transaction and therefore no gain or loss was recognized on the transaction. There was no impact to surplus.

 

Common stocks of unconsolidated subsidiaries, primarily Hextone Holding LLC (MMHLLC), Glidepath and MM Investment Holding (MMIH), are accounted for using the statutory equity method. The Company accounts for the value of MMHLLC at its underlying U.S. GAAP equity value less adjustments for the limited statutory basis of accounting related to foreign insurance subsidiaries and controlled affiliated entities as well as an adjustment of $1,572 million as of December 31, 2022 for a portion of its noncontrolling interests (NCI). Glidepath is valued on it is underlying GAAP equity with adjustment to recognize its investment in MM Ascend based on MM Ascend’s underlying statutory surplus, adjusted for any unamortized goodwill that would have been recognized under the statutory purchase method. Operating results, less dividends declared, for MMHLLC, Glidepath and MMIH are reflected as net unrealized capital gains in the Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus. Dividends declared from MMHLLC, Glidepath and MMIH are recorded in net investment income when declared and are limited to MMHLLC, Glidepath and MMIH’s U.S. GAAP retained earnings. The cost basis of common stocks – subsidiaries and affiliates is adjusted for impairments deemed to be other than temporary.

 

Refer to Note 5c. “Common stocks - subsidiaries and affiliates” for further information on the valuation of MMHLLC.

f. Common stocks – unaffiliated

Unaffiliated common stocks are carried at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, values provided by third-party organizations are used. If values from third parties are unavailable, fair values are determined by management using estimates based upon internal models. The Company’s internal models include estimates based upon comparable company analysis, review of financial statements, broker quotes and last traded price. Fair values resulting from internal models are those expected to be received in an orderly transaction between willing market participants.

Refer to Note 2dd. “Net realized capital gains (losses) including other-than-temporary impairments and unrealized capital gains (losses)” for information on the Company’s policy for determining OTTI.

g. Mortgage loans

Mortgage loans are valued at the unpaid principal balance of the loan, net of unamortized premium, discount, mortgage origination fees and valuation allowances. Interest income earned on impaired loans is accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the loan based on the loan’s contractual coupon rate. Interest is not accrued for (a) impaired loans more than 60 days past due, (b) delinquent loans more than 90 days past due, or (c) loans that have interest that is not expected to be collected. The Company continually monitors mortgage loans where the accrual of interest has been discontinued and will resume the accrual of interest on a mortgage loan when the facts and circumstances of the borrower and property indicate that the payments will continue to be received according to the terms of the original or modified mortgage loan agreement.

h. Policy loans

Policy loans are carried at the outstanding loan balance less amounts unsecured by the cash surrender value of the policy and amounts ceded to reinsurers.

i. Real estate

Investment real estate, which the Company has the intent to hold for the production of income, and real estate occupied by the Company are carried at depreciated cost, less encumbrances. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the real estate holding, not to exceed 40 years. Depreciation expense is included in net investment income.

Real estate held for sale is initially carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value less estimated selling costs and is no longer depreciated. Adjustments to carrying value, including for further declines in fair value, are recorded in a valuation reserve, which is included in net realized capital gains (losses).

Hextone LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

Fair value is generally estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the underlying risks, net of encumbrances. The Company also obtains external appraisals for a rotating selection of properties annually. If an external appraisal is not obtained, an internal appraisal is performed.

j. Partnerships and limited liability companies

Partnerships and limited liability companies, except for partnerships that generate and realize low income housing tax credits (LIHTCs), are accounted for using the equity method with the change in the equity value of the underlying investment recorded in surplus. Distributions received are recognized as net investment income to the extent the distribution does not exceed previously recorded accumulated undistributed earnings.

Investments in partnerships that generate LIHTCs are carried at amortized cost unless considered impaired. Under the amortized cost method, the excess of the carrying value of the investment over its estimated residual value is amortized into net investment income during the period in which tax benefits are recognized.

The equity method is suspended if the carrying value of the investment is reduced to zero due to losses from the investment. Once the equity method is suspended, losses are not recorded until the investment returns to profitability and the equity method is resumed. However, if the Company has guaranteed obligations of the investment or is otherwise committed to provide further financial support for the investment, losses will continue to be reported up to the amount of those guaranteed obligations or commitments.

k. Derivatives

Interest rate swaps and credit default swaps associated with replicated assets are valued at amortized cost and all other derivative types are carried at fair value, which is based primarily upon quotations obtained from counterparties and independent sources. These quotations are compared to internally derived prices and a price challenge is lodged with the counterparties and independent sources when a significant difference cannot be explained by appropriate adjustments to the internal model. When quoted market values are not reliable or available, the value is based on an internal valuation process using market observable inputs that other market participants would use. Changes in the fair value of these instruments other than interest rate swaps and credit default swaps associated with replicated synthetic investments are recorded as unrealized capital gains (losses) in surplus. Gains and losses realized on settlement, termination, closing or assignment of contracts are recorded in net realized capital gains (losses). Amounts receivable and payable are accrued as net investment income.

l. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments

Cash and cash equivalents, which are carried at amortized cost, consist of all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.

Short-term investments, which are carried at amortized cost, consist of short-term bonds, money market mutual funds and all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of greater than three months and less than or equal to 12 months.

The carrying value reported in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position for cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment instruments approximates the fair value.

m. Investment income due and accrued

Accrued investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded as earned on the ex-dividend date.

n. Federal income taxes

Total federal income taxes are based upon the Company’s best estimate of its current and DTAs or deferred tax assets or liabilities. Current tax expense (benefit) is reported in the Statutory Statements of Operations as federal income tax expense (benefit) if resulting from operations and within net realized capital gains (losses) if resulting from invested asset transactions. Changes in the balances of net deferred taxes, which provide for book-to-tax temporary differences, are subject to limitations and are reported within various lines within surplus. Accordingly, the reporting of book-to-tax temporary differences, such as reserves and policy acquisition costs, and of book-to-tax permanent differences, such as tax-exempt interest and tax credits, may result in effective tax rates in the Statutory Statements of Operations that differ from the federal statutory tax rate.

o. Other than invested assets

Other than invested assets primarily includes the Company’s investment in corporate-owned life insurance, deferred and uncollected life insurance premium, receivable from subsidiaries and affiliates, reinsurance recoverable, fixed assets and other receivables.

p. Separate accounts

Separate accounts and sub-accounts are segregated funds administered and invested by the Company, the performance of which primarily benefits the policyholders/contract holders with an interest in the separate accounts. Group and individual variable annuity, variable life and other insurance policyholders/contract holders select from among the separate accounts and sub-accounts made available by the Company. The separate accounts and sub-accounts are offered as investment options under certain insurance contracts or policies. The returns produced by separate account assets increase or decrease separate account reserves. Separate account assets consist principally of marketable securities reported at fair value. Except for the Company’s seed money, supplemental accounts and certain guaranteed separate accounts issued in Minnesota, separate account assets can only be used to satisfy separate account liabilities and are not available to satisfy the general obligations of the Company. Separate account administrative and investment advisory fees are included in fees and other income.

Assets may be transferred from the general investments of the Company to seed the separate accounts. When assets are transferred, they are transferred at fair market value. Gains related to the transfer are deferred to the extent that the Company maintains a proportionate interest in the separate account. The deferred gain is recognized as the Company’s ownership decreases or when the underlying assets are sold. Losses associated with these transfers are recognized immediately.

Separate accounts reflect two categories of risk assumption: nonguaranteed separate accounts for which the policyholder/contract holder assumes the investment risk and guaranteed separate accounts for which the Company contractually guarantees a minimum return, a minimum account value, or both to the policyholder/contract holder. For certain guaranteed separate account products such as interest rate guaranteed products and indexed separate account products, reserve adequacy is performed on a contract-by-contract basis using, as applicable, prescribed interest rates, mortality rates and asset risk deductions. If the outcome from this adequacy analysis produces a deficiency relative to the current account value, a liability is recorded in policyholders' reserves or liabilities for deposit-type contracts in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position with the corresponding change in the liability recorded as change in policyholders' reserves or policyholders' benefits in the Statutory Statements of Operations.

Premium income, benefits and expenses of the separate accounts are included in the Statutory Statements of Operations with the offset recorded in the change in policyholders’ reserves. Investment income, realized capital gains (losses) and unrealized capital gains (losses) on the assets of separate accounts, other than seed money, accrue to policyholders/contract holders and are not recorded in the Statutory Statements of Operations.

q. Nonadmitted assets

Assets designated as nonadmitted by the NAIC primarily include pension plan assets, intangibles, certain electronic data processing equipment, advances and prepayments, certain investments in partnerships and limited liability companies for which qualifying audits are not performed, the amount of DTAs (subject to certain limitations) that will not be realized by the end of the third calendar year following the current year end, furniture and equipment, certain other receivables and uncollected premium greater than 90 days past due. Due and accrued income is nonadmitted on: (a) bonds delinquent more than 90 days or where collection of interest is improbable; (b) impaired bonds more than 60 days past due; (c) bonds in default; (d) mortgage loans in default where interest is 180 days past due; (e) rent in arrears for more than 90 days; and (f) policy loan interest due and accrued more than 90 days past due and included in the unpaid balance of the policy loan in excess of the cash surrender value of the underlying contract. Assets that are designated as nonadmitted are excluded from the Statutory Statements of Financial Position through a change in nonadmitted assets on the Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus.

r. Reinsurance

The Company enters into reinsurance agreements with affiliated and unaffiliated insurers in the normal course of business to limit its insurance risk or to assume business.

Premium income, policyholders’ benefits (including unpaid claims) and policyholders’ reserves are reported net of reinsurance. Premium, benefits and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. The Company records a receivable for reinsured benefits paid, but not yet reimbursed by the reinsurer and reduces policyholders’ reserves for the portion of insurance liabilities that are reinsured. Commissions and expense allowances on reinsurance ceded and modified coinsurance (Modco) reserve adjustments on reinsurance ceded are recorded as revenue. Commissions and expense allowances on Retirement Plan Group reinsurance assumed and Modco reserve adjustments on reinsurance assumed are recorded as an expense.

s. Policyholders' reserves

Policyholders’ reserves are developed by actuarial methods that will provide for the present value of estimated future obligations in excess of estimated future premium on policies in force and are determined based on either statutory prescribed mortality/morbidity tables using specified interest rates and valuation methods, or principles-based reserving (PBR) under Valuation Manual (VM)-20 which considers a wide range of future economic conditions, computed using justified company experience factors, such as mortality, policyholder behavior and expenses.

On January 1, 2020, the Company transitioned from Actuarial Guideline 43 to VM-21 for valuing guaranteed living benefits on certain annuity products for statutory reserves.

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premium at death and returns any portion of the final premium beyond the date of death. Reserves are computed using continuous functions to reflect these practices.

The Company charges a higher premium on certain contracts that cover substandard mortality risk. For these policies, the reserve calculations are based on a substandard mortality rate, which is a multiple of the standard mortality tables.

Certain variable universal life and universal life contracts include features such as guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDB) or other guarantees that ensure continued death benefit coverage when the policy would otherwise lapse. The value of the guarantee is only available to the beneficiary in the form of a death benefit. The liability for variable and universal life GMDBs and other guarantees is included in policyholders’ reserves and the related change in this liability is included in change in policyholders’ reserves in the Statutory Statements of Operations.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

Certain individual variable annuity and fixed annuity products have a variety of additional guarantees such as GMDBs and variable annuity guaranteed living benefits (VAGLB). The primary types of VAGLBs include guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (GMAB), guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB) including GMIB Basic and GMIB Plus and guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits (GLWB). In general, these benefit guarantees require the contract owner or policyholder to adhere to a company-approved asset allocation strategy. The liabilities for individual variable annuity GMDBs and VAGLBs are included in policyholders’ reserves in the Statements of Financial Position and the related changes in these liabilities are included in change in policyholders’ reserves in the Statutory Statements of Operations.

Separate accounts include certain group annuity contracts used to fund retirement plans that offer a guarantee of a contract holder’s principal, which can be withdrawn over a stated period of time. These contracts offer a stated rate of return backed by the Company. Contract payments are not contingent upon the life of the retirement plan participants.

Unpaid claims and claim expense reserves are related to disability and LTC claims. Unpaid disability claim liabilities are projected based on the average of the last three disability payments. LTC unpaid claim liabilities are projected using policy specific daily benefit amounts and aggregate utilization factors. Claim expense reserves are based on an analysis of the unit expenses related to the processing and examination of new and ongoing claims. Interest accrued on reserves is calculated by applying NAIC prescribed interest rates to the average reserves by year incurred.

 

Tabular interest, tabular reserves, reserves released, and tabular cost for all life and annuity contracts and supplementary contracts involving life contingencies are determined in accordance with NAIC Annual Statement instructions. For tabular interest, whole life and term products use a formula that applies a weighted average interest rate determined from a seriatim valuation file to the mean average reserves. Universal life, variable life, group life, annuity and supplemental contracts use a formula that applies a weighted average credited rate to the mean account value. For contracts without an account value (e.g., a Single Premium Immediate Annuity) a weighted average statutory valuation rate is applied to the mean statutory reserve or accepted actuarial methods using applicable interest rates are applied.

All policyholders’ reserves and accruals are presented net of reinsurance. Management believes that these liabilities and accruals represent management’s best estimate and will be sufficient, in conjunction with future revenues, to meet future anticipated obligations of policies and contracts in force.

t. Liabilities for deposit-type contracts

Liabilities for funding agreements, dividend accumulations, premium deposit funds, investment-type contracts such as supplementary contracts not involving life contingencies and certain structured settlement annuities are based on account value or accepted actuarial methods using applicable interest rates.

u. Participating contracts

Participating contracts are those that may be eligible to share in any dividends declared by the Company. Participating contracts issued by the Company represented 56% of the Company’s policyholders’ reserves and liabilities for deposit-type contracts as of December 31, 2022 and 58% as of December 31, 2021.

v. Policyholders' dividends

Dividends expected to be paid to policyholders in the following year are approved annually by Hextone’s Board of Directors and are recorded as an expense in the current year. The allocation of these dividends to policyholders reflects the relative contribution of each group of participating policies to surplus and considers, among other factors, investment returns, mortality and morbidity experience, expenses and taxes. The liability for policyholders’ dividends includes the estimated amount of annual dividends and settlement dividends. A settlement dividend is an extra dividend payable at termination of a policy upon maturity, death or surrender.

w. Asset valuation reserve

The Company maintains an AVR that is a contingency reserve to stabilize surplus against fluctuations in the carrying value of common stocks, real estate, partnerships and limited liability companies as well as credit-related changes in the value of bonds, preferred stocks, mortgage loans, and certain derivatives. The AVR is reported as a liability within the Statutory Statements of Financial Position and the change in AVR, net of tax, is reported within the Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus.

x. Repurchase agreements

Repurchase agreements are contracts under which the Company sells securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase the same or substantially the same securities. These repurchase agreements are carried at cost and accounted for as collateralized borrowings with the proceeds from the sale of the securities recorded as a liability while the underlying securities continue to be recorded as an investment by the Company. Earnings on these investments are recorded as investment income and the difference between the proceeds and the amount at which the securities will be subsequently reacquired is amortized as interest expense. Repurchase agreements are used as a tool for overall portfolio management to help ensure the Company maintains adequate assets in order to provide yield, spread and duration to support liabilities and other corporate needs.

The Company provides collateral, as dictated by the repurchase agreements, to the counterparty in exchange for a loan. If the fair value of the securities sold becomes less than the loan, the counterparty may require additional collateral.

The carrying value reported in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position for repurchase agreements approximates the fair value.

y. Commercial paper

The Company issues commercial paper (CP) in the form of unsecured notes. Interest on CP is calculated using a 360-day year based on the actual number of days elapsed. Due to the short-term nature of CP, the carrying value approximates fair value.

z. Interest maintenance reserve

The Company maintains an IMR that is used to stabilize net income against fluctuations in interest rates. After-tax realized capital gains (losses), which result from changes in interest rates for all types of fixed-income investments and interest-related derivatives, are deferred into the IMR and amortized into net investment income using the grouped amortization method. In the grouped amortization method, assets are grouped based on years of maturity. IMR is reduced by the amount ceded to reinsurers when entering into in force coinsurance ceding agreements. The IMR is included in other liabilities, or if negative, is recorded as a nonadmitted asset.

aa. Employee compensation plans

The Company has a long-term incentive compensation plan, under which certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may be issued phantom share-based compensation awards. These awards include Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights (PSARs) and Phantom Restricted Stock (PRS). These awards do not grant an equity or ownership interest in the Company.

PSARs provide the participant with the opportunity to share in the value created in the total enterprise. The PSAR value is the appreciation in the phantom stock price between the grant price and the share price at the time of exercise. Awards can only be settled in cash. PSARs typically cliff vest at the end of three years and expire five years after the date of grant. Vested PSARs may be exercised during quarterly two-week exercise periods prior to expiration. The compensation expense for an individual award is recognized over the service period.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

PRS provide the participant with the opportunity to share in the value created in the total enterprise. Participants receive the full phantom share value (grant price plus/minus any change in share price) over the award period. Awards can only be settled in cash. PRS typically vests on a graded basis over five years, one third per year after years three, four and five. On each vesting date, a lump sum cash settlement is paid to the participant based on the number of shares vested multiplied by the most recent phantom stock price. Compensation expense is recognized on the accelerated attribution method. The accelerated attribution method recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period by which each separate payout year is treated as if it were, in substance, a separate award.

All awards granted under the Company’s plans are compensatory classified awards. Compensation costs are based on the most recent quarterly calculated intrinsic value of the PSARs (current share price less grant price per share not less than zero) and PRS (current share price per share), considering vesting provisions, net of forfeiture assumptions and are included in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position as a liability in general expenses due or accrued. The compensation expense for an individual award is recognized over the service period. The cumulative compensation expense for all outstanding awards in any period is equal to the change in calculated liability period over period. The requisite service period for the awards is the vesting period.

At the time of death or disability, awards contain vesting conditions, whereby employees’ unvested awards immediately vest on an accelerated basis with a one-year exercise period for PSARs, full accelerated vesting and settlement for PRS awards granted 2016 and after. For PRS awards granted prior to 2016, awards vest on a pro-rata basis with immediate settlement.

At the time of retirement, for awards granted beginning in 2016, both PRS and PSAR vest according to the original grant terms. For awards granted prior to 2016, unvested awards immediately vest on an accelerated basis with a two-year exercise period for PSARs, and a pro-rata basis with immediate settlement for PRS.

The phantom share price is determined as the greater of the share price calculated using management basis core operating income or the share price calculated using management basis equity. This phantom share price is calculated and communicated to all participants quarterly and is used in calculating the liability of the Company based on intrinsic value.

bb. Other liabilities

Other liabilities primarily consist of the derivative interest expense liability, remittances and items not allocated, other miscellaneous liabilities, liabilities for employee benefits and accrued separate account transfers.

cc. Premium and related expense recognition

Life insurance premium revenue is generally recognized annually on the anniversary date of the policy. However, premium for flexible products, primarily universal life and variable universal life contracts, is recognized as revenue when received. Annuity premium is recognized as revenue when received. Disability income and LTC premium is recognized as revenue when due.

Premium revenue is adjusted by the related deferred premium adjustment. Deferred premium adjusts for the overstatement created in the calculation of reserves as the reserve computation assumes the entire year’s net premium is collected annually at the beginning of the policy year and does not take into account installment or modal payments.

Commissions and other costs related to issuance of new policies and policy maintenance and settlement costs are charged to current operations when incurred. Surrender fee charges on certain life and annuity products are recorded as a reduction of benefits and expenses.

dd. Net realized capital gains (losses) including other-than-temporary impairments and unrealized capital gains (losses)

Net realized capital gains (losses), net of taxes, exclude gains (losses) deferred into the IMR and gains (losses) of the separate accounts. Net realized capital gains (losses), including OTTI, are recognized in net income and are determined using the specific identification method.

Bonds - general

The Company employs a systematic methodology to evaluate OTTI by conducting a quarterly analysis of bonds. OTTI is evaluated in a manner consistent with market participant assumptions. The Company considers the following factors, where applicable depending on the type of securities, in the evaluation of whether a decline in value is other than temporary: (a) the likelihood that the Company will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the debt security; (b) the present value of the expected future cash flows of the security; (c) the characteristics, quality and value of the underlying collateral or issuer securing the position; (d) collateral structure; (e) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been below amortized cost; (f) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (g) adverse conditions related to the security or industry; (h) the rating of the security; (i) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery to amortized cost; and (j) other qualitative and quantitative factors in determining the existence of OTTI including, but not limited to, unrealized loss trend analysis and significant short-term changes in value.

In addition, if the Company has the intent to sell, or the inability, or lack of intent to retain the investment for a period sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis, an OTTI is recognized as a realized loss equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date.

When a bond is other-than-temporarily impaired, a new cost basis is established.

Bonds - corporate

For corporate securities, if it is determined that a decline in the fair value of a bond is other than temporary, OTTI is recognized as a realized loss equal to the difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and, generally, its fair value at the balance sheet date.

The Company analyzes investments whose fair value is below the cost for impairment. Generally, if the investment experiences significant credit or interest rate related deterioration, the cost of the investment is not recoverable, or the Company intends to sell the investment before anticipated recovery, an OTTI is recognized as realized investment loss.

Bonds - loan-backed and structured securities

For loan-backed and structured securities, if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, an OTTI is recognized as a realized loss equal to the difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and the present value of cash flows expected to be collected. The expected cash flows are discounted at the security’s effective interest rate. Internal inputs used in determining the amount of the OTTI on structured securities include collateral performance, prepayment speeds, default rates, and loss severity based on borrower and loan characteristics, as well as deal structure including subordination, over-collateralization and cash flow priority.

ABS and MBS are evaluated for OTTI using scenarios and assumptions based on the specifics of each security including collateral type, loan type, vintage and subordination level in the structure. Cash flow estimates are based on these assumptions and inputs obtained from external industry sources along with internal analysis and actual experience. Where applicable, assumptions include prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severity, weighted average maturity and changes in the underlying collateral values.

The Company has a review process for determining if CDOs are at risk for OTTI. For the senior, mezzanine and junior debt tranches, cash flows are modeled using multiple scenarios based on the current ratings and values of the underlying corporate credit risks and incorporating prepayment and default assumptions that vary according to collateral attributes of each CDO. The prepayment and default assumptions are varied within each model based upon rating (base case), historical expectations (default), rating change improvement (optimistic), rating change downgrade (pessimistic) and fair value (market). The default rates produced by these multiple scenarios are assigned an expectation weight according to current market and economic conditions and fed into a final scenario. OTTI is recorded if this final scenario results in the loss of any principal or interest payments due.

19

Hextone LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

For the most subordinated junior CDO tranches, the present value of the projected cash flows in the final scenario is measured using an effective yield. If the current book value of the security is greater than the present value measured using an effective yield, an OTTI is taken in an amount sufficient to produce its effective yield. Certain CDOs cannot be modeled using all of the scenarios because of limitations on the data needed for all scenarios. The cash flows for these CDOs, including foreign currency denominated CDOs, are projected using a customized scenario management believes is reasonable for the applicable collateral pool.

For loan-backed and structured securities, any difference between the new amortized cost basis and any increased present value of future cash flows expected to be collected is accreted into net investment income over the expected remaining life of the bond.

Common and preferred stock

The cost basis of common and preferred stocks is adjusted for impairments deemed to be other than temporary. The Company considers the following factors in the evaluation of whether a decline in value is other than temporary: (a) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (b) the Company’s ability and intent to retain the investment for a period sufficient to allow for a near-term recovery in value; and (c) the period and degree to which the value has been below cost. The Company conducts a quarterly analysis of issuers whose common or preferred stock is not-in-good standing or valued below 80% of cost. The Company also considers other qualitative and quantitative factors in determining the existence of OTTI including, but not limited to, unrealized loss trend analysis and significant short-term changes in value.

Mortgage loans

The Company performs internal reviews at least annually to determine if individual mortgage loans are performing or nonperforming. The fair values of performing mortgage loans are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates for similar loans with similar credit risk. For nonperforming loans, the fair value is the estimated collateral value of the underlying real estate. If foreclosure is probable, the Company will obtain an external appraisal.

Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when, based upon current available information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts of principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement. A valuation allowance is recorded on a loan-by-loan basis in net unrealized capital losses for the excess of the carrying value of the mortgage loan over the fair value of its underlying collateral. Such information or events could include property performance, capital budgets, future lease roll, a property inspection as well as payment trends. Collectability and estimated decreases in collateral values are also assessed on a loan-by-loan basis considering all events and conditions relevant to the loan. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available, as changes occur in the market or as negotiations with the borrowing entity evolve. If there is a change in the fair value of the underlying collateral or the estimated loss on the loan, the valuation allowance is adjusted accordingly. An OTTI occurs upon the realization of a credit loss, typically through foreclosure or after a decision is made to accept a discounted payoff, and is recognized in realized capital losses. The previously recorded valuation allowance is reversed from unrealized capital losses. When an OTTI is recorded, a new cost basis is established reflecting estimated value of the collateral.

Real estate

For real estate held for the production of income, depreciated cost is adjusted for impairments whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, with the impairment being included in realized capital losses. An impairment is recorded when the property’s estimated future net operating cash flows over ten years, undiscounted and without interest charges, is less than book value.

Adjustments to the carrying value of real estate held for sale are recorded in a valuation reserve as realized capital losses when the fair value less estimated selling costs is less than the carrying value.

Partnerships and limited liability companies

When it is probable that the Company will be unable to recover the outstanding carrying value of an investment based on undiscounted cash flows, or there is evidence indicating an inability of the investee to sustain earnings to justify the carrying value of the investment, OTTI is recognized in realized capital losses reflecting the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the investment. The estimated fair values of limited partnership interests are generally based on the Company’s share of the net asset value (NAV) as provided in the financial statements of the investees. In certain circumstances, management may adjust the NAV by a premium or discount when it has sufficient evidence to support applying such adjustments.

For determining impairments in partnerships that generate LIHTCs, the Company uses the present value of all future benefits, the majority of which are tax credits, discounted at a risk-free rate for future benefits of ten or more years and compares the results to its current book value. Impairments are recognized in realized capital losses reflecting the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the investment.

Unrealized capital gains (losses)

Unrealized capital gains (losses) include changes in the fair value of derivatives, excluding interest rate swaps and credit default index swaps associated with replicated assets; currency translation adjustments on foreign-denominated bonds; changes in the fair value of unaffiliated common stocks; changes in the fair value of bonds and preferred stocks that are carried at fair value; and changes in the inflation adjustments on U.S Treasury inflation-indexed securities. Changes in the Company’s equity investments in partnerships and limited liability companies, including the earnings as reported on the financial statements, earnings recorded as accumulated undistributed earnings, foreign exchange asset valuation and mark-to-market on operating assets, and certain subsidiaries and affiliates are also reported as changes in unrealized capital gains (losses). Unrealized capital gains (losses) are recorded as a change in net unrealized capital gains (losses), net of tax, within the Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus.

3. New accounting standards

Adoption of new accounting standards

In November 2021, the NAIC adopted modifications to SSAP No. 43R, Loan-Backed and Structured Securities, effective December 31, 2022. The modifications require investments in residual tranches to be reported as partnerships and limited liability companies. Residual tranches will be carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, with changes in value recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The modifications did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2022, the NAIC adopted modifications to SSAP No. 25, Affiliates and Other Related Parties and SSAP No. 43R, Loan-Backed and Structured Securities, effective December 31, 2022. The modifications clarify application of the existing affiliate definition and incorporate disclosure requirements for all investments that involve related parties, regardless of whether they meet the affiliate definition. The revisions to SSAP No. 43R also included additional clarifications that the investments from any arrangements that results in direct or indirect control, which include but are not limited to control through a servicer, shall be reported as affiliated investments. The modifications did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The authoritative guidance for fair value establishes a measurement framework that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three levels. Each level reflects a unique description of the inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs in the form of quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be derived from observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – One or more unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using internal models, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

 

When available, the Company generally uses unadjusted quoted market prices from independent sources to determine the fair value of investments, and classifies such items within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If quoted prices are not available, prices are derived from observable market data for similar assets in an active market or obtained directly from brokers for identical assets traded in inactive markets. Investments that are priced using these inputs are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When some of the necessary observable inputs are unavailable, fair value is based upon internally developed models. These models use inputs not directly observable or correlated with observable market data. Typical inputs, which are integrated in the Company’s internal discounted cash flow models and discounted earnings models include, but are not limited to, issuer spreads derived from internal credit ratings and benchmark yields such as LIBOR, cash flow estimates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization estimates. Investments that are priced with such unobservable inputs are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classifications at each reporting period. Overall, reclassifications between levels occur when there are changes in the observability of inputs and market activity used in the valuation of a financial asset or liability. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers between levels at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. Given the types of assets classified as Level 1 (primarily equity securities including mutual fund investments), transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurement categories are expected to be infrequent. Transfers into and out of Level 3 are summarized in the schedule of changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities.

The fair value of group annuity contracts and other deposits is determined by multiplying the book value of the contract by an average market value adjustment factor. The market value adjustment factor is directly related to the difference between the book value of client liabilities and the present value of installment payments discounted at current market value yields. The market value yield is measured by the Barclay's Aggregate Bond Index, subject to certain adjustments, and the installment period is equivalent to the duration of the Company’s invested asset portfolio.

The fair value of individual annuity and supplementary contracts is determined using one of several methods based on the specific contract type. For short-term contracts, generally less than 30 days, the fair value is assumed to be the book value. For contracts with longer durations, GICs and investment-type contracts, the fair value is determined by calculating the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates, the risk-free rate or a current pricing yield curve based on pricing assumptions using assets of a comparable corporate bond quality. Annuities receiving dividends are accumulated at the average minimum guaranteed rate and discounted at the risk-free rate. All others are valued using cash flow projections from the Company's asset/liability management analysis.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs

 

The Company determines the fair value of its investments using primarily the market approach or the income approach. The use of quoted prices for identical assets and matrix pricing or other similar techniques are examples of market approaches, while the use of discounted cash flow methodologies is an example of the income approach. The Company attempts to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in selecting whether the market or the income approach is used.

 

A description of the significant valuation techniques and inputs to the determination of estimated fair value for the more significant asset and liability classes measured at fair value on a recurring basis and categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

Separate account assets – These assets primarily include bonds (industrial and miscellaneous; U.S. government and agencies), and derivatives. Their fair values are determined as follows:

 

Bonds (Industrial and miscellaneous) – These securities are principally valued using the market or the income approaches. Level 2 valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker quotes, matrix pricing or other similar techniques that use standard market observable inputs such as benchmark yields, spreads versus benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer ratings, duration, and trades of identical or comparable securities. Privately placed securities are valued using discounted cash flow models using standard market observable inputs, and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issuances that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer. This level also includes securities priced by independent pricing services that use observable inputs. Valuations based on matrix pricing or other similar techniques that utilize significant unobservable inputs or inputs that cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including adjustments for illiquidity, delta spread adjustments or spreads to reflect industry trends or specific credit−related issues are classified as Level 3. In addition, inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2 are classified as Level 3.

 

Bonds (U.S. government and agencies) – These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Level 2 valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs such as the benchmark U.S. Treasury yield curve, the spreads versus the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the identical security and comparable securities that are actively traded.

 

Derivative assets and liabilities – These financial instruments are primarily valued using the market approach. The estimated fair value of derivatives is based primarily on quotations obtained from counterparties and independent sources, such as quoted market values received from brokers. These quotations are compared to internally derived prices and a price challenge is lodged with the counterparties and an independent source when a significant difference cannot be explained by appropriate adjustments to the internal model. When quoted market values are not reliable or available, the value is based upon an internal valuation process using market observable inputs that other market participants would use. Significant inputs to the valuation of derivative financial instruments include overnight index swaps and LIBOR basis curves, interest rate volatility, swap yield curve, currency spot rates, cross currency basis curves and dividend yields. Due to the observability of the significant inputs to these fair value measurements, they are classified as Level 2.

 

The use of different assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material impact on the estimated fair value amounts. For the periods presented, there were no significant changes to the Company's valuation techniques.

Residential mortgage-backed exposure

 

RMBS are included in the U.S. government and agencies, special revenue, and industrial and miscellaneous bond categories. The Alt-A category includes option adjustable-rate mortgages and the subprime category includes 'scratch and dent' or reperforming pools, high loan-to-value pools, and pools where the borrowers have very impaired credit but the average loan-to-value is low, typically 70% or below. In identifying Alt-A and subprime exposure, management used a combination of qualitative and quantitative factors, including FICO scores and loan-to-value ratios.

 

As of December 31, 2022, RMBS had a total carrying value of $2,308 million and a fair value of $2,266 million, of which approximately 8%, based on carrying value, was classified as Alt-A. Alt-A and subprime RMBS had a total carrying value of $999 million and a fair value of $993 million. As of December 31, 2021, RMBS had a total carrying value of $2,068 million and a fair value of $2,154 million, of which approximately 16%, based on carrying value, was classified as Alt-A. Alt-A and subprime RMBS had a total carrying value of $975 million and a fair value of $1,025 million.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no significant credit downgrades for the securities held by the Company that were backed by residential mortgage pools.

 

Leveraged loan exposure

 

Leveraged loans are loans extended to companies that already have considerable amounts of debt. The Company reports leveraged loans as bonds. These leveraged loans have interest rates higher than typical loans, reflecting the additional risk of default from issuers with high debt-to-equity ratios.

 

As of December 31, 2022, total leveraged loans and leveraged loan CDOs had a carrying value of $26,332 million and a fair value of $25,664 million, of which approximately 81%, based on carrying value, were domestic leveraged loans and CDOs. As of December 31, 2021, total leveraged loans and leveraged loan CDOs had a carrying value of $19,707 million and a fair value of $19,842 million, of which approximately 78%, based on carrying value, were domestic leveraged loans and CDOs.

 

Commercial mortgage-backed exposure

 

The Company holds bonds backed by pools of commercial mortgages. The mortgages in these pools have varying risk characteristics related to underlying collateral type, borrower's risk profile and ability to refinance and the return provided to the borrower from the underlying collateral. These investments had a carrying value of $2,699 million and fair value of $2,285 million as of December 31, 2022 and a carrying value of $2,678 million and fair value of $2,689 million as of December 31, 2021.

Subsidiaries of MMHLLC are involved in litigation and investigations arising in the ordinary course of their business, which seek compensatory damages, punitive damages and equitable remedies. Although the Company is not aware of any actions or allegations that reasonably could give rise to a material adverse impact to the Company’s financial position or liquidity, the outcome of litigation cannot be foreseen with certainty. It is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not materially impact the Company’s financial position or liquidity. However, the outcome of a particular proceeding may be material to the Company’s Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus for a particular period depending upon, among other factors, the size of the loss and the level of the Company’s changes in surplus for the period.

The Company does not rely on dividends from its subsidiaries to meet its operating cash flow requirements. For the domestic life insurance subsidiaries, substantially all of their statutory shareholder’s equity of $1,780 million as of December 31, 2022 was subject to dividend restrictions imposed by the State of Connecticut.

For determining impairments for LIHTC investments, the Company uses the present value of all future benefits, the majority of which are tax credits, discounted at a risk-free rate ranging from 4.3% for future benefits of two years to 3.6% for future benefits of ten or more years, and compares the result to its current carry value. The Company recorded $1 million of impairments for the year ended December 31, 2022.

There were no write-downs or reclassifications of LIHTC partnerships made during the years ended December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021, due to forfeiture or ineligibility of tax credits or similar issues. There are no LIHTC investments subject to regulatory review for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

 

In 2021, the Company recognized a $411 million OTTI from one investment.

 

h. Derivatives

 

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage risks, primarily to reduce currency, interest rate and duration imbalances determined in asset/liability analyses. The Company also uses a combination of derivatives and fixed income investments to create replicated synthetic investments. These replicated synthetic investments are created when they are economically more attractive than the actual instrument or when similar instruments are unavailable. Replicated synthetic investments are created either to hedge and reduce the Company's credit exposure or to create an investment in a particular asset. The Company held replicated synthetic investments with a notional amount of $31,264 million as of December 31, 2022 and $21,873 million as of December 31, 2021, as defined under statutory accounting practices as the result of pairing of a long derivative contract with cash instruments.

The Company’s derivative strategy employs a variety of derivative financial instruments: including interest rate, currency, equity, bond, and credit default swaps; options; forward contracts and financial futures. Investment risk is assessed on a portfolio basis and individual derivative financial instruments are not generally designated in hedging relationships; therefore, as allowed by statutory accounting practices, the Company intentionally has not applied hedge accounting.

Interest rate swaps are primarily used to more closely match the cash flows of assets and liabilities. Interest rate swaps are also used to mitigate changes in the value of assets anticipated to be purchased and other anticipated transactions and commitments. The Company uses currency swaps for the purpose of managing currency exchange risks in its assets and liabilities.

The Company does not sell credit default swaps as a participant in the credit insurance market. The Company does, however, use credit default swaps as part of its investment management process. The Company buys credit default swaps as an efficient means to reduce credit exposure to particular issuers or sectors in the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company sells credit default swaps in order to create synthetic investment positions that enhance the return on its investment portfolio by providing comparable exposure to fixed income securities that might not be available in the primary market.

Options grant the purchaser the right to buy or sell a security or enter a derivative transaction at a stated price within a stated period. The Company’s option contracts have terms of up to 15 years. A swaption is an option to enter an interest rate swap to either receive or pay a fixed rate at a future date. The Company purchases these options for the purpose of managing interest rate risks in its assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

The Company adopted a clearly defined hedging strategy (CDHS) to enable the Company to incorporate currently held hedges in risk-based capital (RBC) calculations. The CDHS is used to significantly mitigate the impact that movements in capital markets have on the liabilities associated with annuity guarantees. The hedge portfolio consists mainly of interest rate swaps, equity swaps, interest rate swaptions and equity futures, and provides protection in the stress scenarios under which RBC is calculated. The hedge portfolio has offsetting impacts relative to the total asset requirement for RBC and surplus for GMDB and VAGLB.

The Company utilizes certain other agreements including forward contracts and financial futures. In addition, the Company also uses “to be announced” forward contracts (TBAs) to hedge interest rate risk and participate in the mortgage-backed securities market in an efficient and cost-effective way. Typically, the price is agreed upon at contract inception and payment is made at a specified future date. The Company usually does not purchase TBAs with settlement by the first possible delivery date and thus, accounts for these TBAs as derivatives. TBAs that settle on the first possible delivery date are accounted for as bonds. The Company’s futures contracts are exchange traded and have credit risk. Margin requirements are met with the deposit of securities. Futures contracts are generally settled with offsetting transactions. Forward contracts and financial futures are used by the Company to reduce exposures to various risks including interest rates and currency rates.

The Company’s principal derivative exposures to market risk are interest rate risk, which includes inflation and credit risk. Interest rate risk pertains to the change in fair value of the derivative instruments as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. The Company regularly monitors counterparty credit ratings, derivative positions, valuations and the value of collateral posted to ensure counterparties are credit-worthy and the concentration of exposure is minimized and monitors its derivative credit exposure as part of its overall risk management program.

The Company enters derivative transactions through bilateral derivative agreements with counterparties, or through over the counter cleared derivatives with a counterparty and the use of a clearinghouse. To minimize credit risk for bilateral transactions, the Company and its counterparties generally enter into master netting agreements based on agreed upon requirements that outline the framework for how collateral is to be posted in the amount owed under each transaction, subject to certain minimums. For over the counter cleared derivative transactions between the Company and a counterparty, the parties enter into a series of master netting and other agreements that govern, among other things, clearing and collateral requirements. These transactions are cleared through a clearinghouse and each derivative counterparty is only exposed to the default risk of the clearinghouse. Certain interest rate swaps and credit default swaps are considered cleared transactions. These cleared transactions require initial and daily variation margin collateral postings. These agreements allow for contracts in a positive position, in which amounts are due to the Company, to be offset by contracts in a negative position. This right of offset, combined with collateral obtained from counterparties, reduces the Company’s credit exposure.

Net collateral pledged by the counterparties was $2,427 million as of December 31, 2022 and $5,369 million as of December 31, 2021. In the event of default, the full market value exposure at risk in a net gain position, net of offsets and collateral, was $634 million as of December 31, 2022 and $230 million as of December 31, 2021. The statutory net amount at risk, defined as net collateral pledged and statement values excluding accrued interest, was $5,518 million as of December 31, 2022 and $579 million as of December 31, 2021.

The Company had the right to rehypothecate or repledge securities totaling $770 million of the $2,427 million as of December 31, 2022 and $717 million of the $5,369 million as of December 31, 2021 of net collateral pledged by counterparties. There were no securities rehypothecated to other counterparties as of December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The Company utilized internally-developed models to determine less than 1% of the $416 million of bond OTTI for the year ended December 31, 2022, less than 1% of the $80 million of bond OTTI for the year ended December 31, 2021 and less than 1% of the $140 million of bond OTTI for the year ended December 31, 2020. The remaining OTTI amounts were determined using external inputs such as publicly observable fair values and credit ratings. Refer to Note 2dd. “Net realized capital gains (losses) including other-than-temporary impairments and unrealized capital gains (losses)” for more information on assumptions and inputs used in the Company’s OTTI models.

 

6. Federal income taxes

 

On August 16th, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was signed into law and includes certain corporate income tax provisions. Impacts to the Company include the imposition of a corporate alternative minimum tax “CAMT” applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The CAMT imposes a 15% minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income on applicable corporations that have an average adjusted financial statement income over $1 billion in the prior three-year period (2020-2022). As of the reporting date, the Company has not determined if it will be liable for CAMT in 2023. In accordance with INT 22-02: Third Quarter 2022 through First Quarter 2023 Reporting of the Inflation Reduction Act – Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax, the financial statements do not include an estimated impact of the CAMT because a reasonable estimate cannot be made. The United States Treasury Secretary has been authorized to issue guidance on the CAMT and pending such guidance the Company is not able to make a reasonable estimate.

 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), 2021 was signed into law on December 27, 2020. The CARES Act, among other things, permits net operating loss (NOL) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The CAA extends and expands certain tax provisions of the CARES Act. The CARES Act as well as the CAA did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company provides for DTAs in accordance with statutory accounting practices, and has met the required threshold to utilize the three-year reversal period and 15% of surplus limitation.

Hextone and its eligible U.S. subsidiaries are included in a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Hextone and its eligible U.S. subsidiaries also file income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. Hextone and its eligible U.S. subsidiaries and certain affiliates (the Parties) have executed and are subject to a written tax allocation agreement (the Agreement). The Agreement sets forth the manner in which the total combined federal income tax is allocated among the Parties. The Agreement provides Hextone with the enforceable right to recoup federal income taxes paid in prior years in the event of future net capital losses, which it may incur. Further, the Agreement provides Hextone with the enforceable right to utilize its net losses carried forward as an offset to future net income subject to federal income taxes.

 

Companies are generally required to disclose unrecognized tax benefits, which are the tax effect of positions taken on their tax returns that may be challenged by various taxing authorities, in order to provide users of financial statements more information regarding potential liabilities. The Company recognizes tax benefits and related reserves in accordance with existing statutory accounting practices for liabilities, contingencies and impairments of assets.

 

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for unrecognized tax benefits (in millions):

 

Balance, January 1, 2022 $ 219
Gross change related to positions taken in prior years   -
Gross change related to settlements   -
Gross change related to positions taken in current year   (5)
Gross change related to lapse of statutes of limitations   -
Balance, December 31, 2022 $ 214

Included in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022, are $202 million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The liability for the unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 includes $8 million of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company recognized an increase of $5 million in accrued interest related to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes. The amount of net interest recognized was $24 million as of December 31, 2022 and $20 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company has no accrued penalties related to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. In the next year, the Company does not anticipate the total amount of uncertain tax positions to significantly increase or decrease.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its examination of Hextone and its subsidiaries for the year 2013 and prior. The 2014-2016 tax years are in the process of going to Appeals for 3 carryforward issues.   The IRS commenced its examination of years 2017-2018 in October 2020. The adjustments resulting from these examinations are not expected to materially affect the position or liquidity of the Company.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not recognize any protective deposits as admitted assets.

7. Other than invested assets
a. Corporate-owned life insurance

The Company holds corporate-owned life insurance issued by unaffiliated third-party insurers to cover the lives of certain qualified senior employees. The primary purpose of the program is to offset future employee benefit expenses. The Company pays all premiums and is the owner and beneficiary of these policies. The Company had recorded cash surrender values of these policies of $2,619 million as of December 31, 2022 and $2,666 million as of December 31, 2021.

b. Deferred and uncollected life insurance premium

Deferred and uncollected life insurance premium, net of loading and reinsurance, are included in other than invested assets in the Company’s Statutory Statements of Financial Position. The following summarizes the deferred and uncollected life insurance premium on a gross basis, as well as, net of loading and reinsurance:

  December 31,
  2022   2021
  Gross   Net     Gross   Net  
  (In Millions)
                       
Ordinary new business $ 163   $ 103   $ 186   $ 119
Ordinary renewal   1,159     1,145     1,001     1,030
Group life   10     10     11     11
Total $ 1,332   $ 1,258   $ 1,198   $ 1,160

Deferred premium is the portion of the annual premium not earned at the reporting date. Loading on deferred premium is an amount obtained by subtracting the valuation net deferred premium from the gross deferred premium and generally includes allowances for acquisition costs and other expenses.

Uncollected premium is gross premium net of reinsurance that is due and unpaid as of the reporting date, net of loading. Net premium is the amount used in the calculation of reserves. The change in deferred and uncollected life insurance premium is included in premium income. The change in loading is included as an expense and is not shown as a reduction to premium income.

Ordinary new business and ordinary renewal business consist of the basic amount of premium required on the underlying life insurance policies.

In certain instances, gross premium is less than net premium according to the standard valuation set by the Division and the Department. The gross premium is less than the net premium needed to establish the reserves because the statutory reserves must use standard conservative valuation mortality tables, while the gross premium calculated in pricing uses mortality tables that reflect both the Company’s experience and the transfer of mortality risk to reinsurers. The Company had life insurance in force of 59,911 million as of December 31, 2022 and $71,636 million as of December 31, 2021 for which gross premium was less than net premium.

Note program

Funding agreements are investment contracts sold to domestic and international institutional investors. Funding agreement liabilities are equal to the account value and are established by contract deposits, increased by interest credited and decreased by contract coupon payments and maturities. Contract holders do not have the right to terminate the contract prior to the contractually stated maturity date. The Company may retire funding agreements prior to the contractually-stated maturity date by repurchasing the agreement in the market or, in some cases, by calling the agreement. If this occurs, the difference in value is an adjustment to interest credited to liabilities for deposit-type contracts in the Statutory Statements of Operations. Credited interest rates vary by contract and can be fixed or floating. Agreements do not have put provisions or ratings-based triggers. The liability of non-U.S. dollar denominated funding agreements may increase or decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency swaps are employed to eliminate foreign exchange risk from all funding agreements issued to back non-U.S. dollar denominated notes.

Under the note program, the Company creates special purpose entities (SPEs), which are investment vehicles or trusts, for the purpose of issuing medium-term notes to investors. Proceeds from the sale of the medium-term notes issued by these SPEs are used to purchase funding agreements from the Company. The payment terms of any particular series of notes are matched by the payment terms of the funding agreement securing the series. Notes are currently issued from the Company’s $16.0 billion Global Medium-Term Note Program.

Federal Home Loan Bank

The Company has funding agreements with Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB Boston) in an investment spread strategy, consistent with its other funding agreements. These funding agreements are collateralized by securities with estimated fair values of $1,903 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s borrowing capacity with FHLB Boston is subject to the lower of the limitation on the pledge of collateral for a loan set forth by law or by the Company’s internal limit. The Company’s unused capacity was $3,889 million as of December 31, 2022. As a member of FHLB Boston, the Company held common stock of FHLB Boston with a statement value of $92 million as of December 31, 2022 and $75 million as of December 31, 2021.

Municipal contracts

Municipal guaranteed investment contracts (municipal contracts) include contracts that contain terms with above market crediting rates. Liabilities for these contracts includes the municipal contracts’ account values, which are established by contract deposits, increased by interest credited (fixed or floating) and decreased by contract coupon payments, additional withdrawals, maturities and amortization of premium. Certain municipal contracts allow additional deposits, subject to restrictions, which are credited based on the rates in the contracts. Contracts have scheduled payment dates and amounts and interest is paid periodically. In addition, certain contracts allow additional withdrawals above and beyond the scheduled payments. These additional withdrawals have certain restrictions on the number per year, minimum dollar amount and are limited to the maximum contract balance. The majority of the municipal contracts allow early contract termination under certain conditions.

Certain municipal contracts contain make-whole provisions, which document the formula for full contract payout. Certain municipal contracts have ratings-based triggers that allow the trustee to declare the entire balance due and payable. Municipal contracts may also have terms that require the Company to post collateral to a third party based on the contract balance in the event of a downgrade in ratings below certain levels under certain circumstances. When the collateral is other than cash, the collateral value is required to be greater than the account balance. The collateral was $339 million as of December 31, 2022 and $146 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company employs a rigorous asset/liability management process to help mitigate the economic impacts of various liability risks. By performing asset liability management and performing other risk management activities, the Company believes that these contract provisions do not create an undue level of operating risk to the Company.

Other deposits

Other deposits primarily consist of investment contracts assumed as part of the indemnity reinsurance agreement discussed in Note 9. “Reinsurance”. These contracts are used to fund retirement plans. Contract payments are not contingent upon the life of the retirement plan participant.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company's GICs by expected maturity year were as follows (in millions):

 

2023 $ 1,936
2024   2,596
2025   2,815
2026   2,074
2027   1,380
Thereafter   3,900
Total $ 14,701

 

Most GICs only mature on their contractual maturity date. Actual maturities for municipal contracts may differ from their contractual maturity dates, as these contracts permit early contract termination under certain conditions.

c. Unpaid claims and claim expense reserves

The Company establishes unpaid claims and claim expense reserves to provide for the estimated costs of claims for individual disability and LTC policies. These reserves include estimates for both claims that have been reported and those that have been incurred but not reported, and include estimates of all future expenses associated with the processing and settling of these claims. This estimation process is primarily based on the assumption that experience is an appropriate indicator of future events and involves a variety of actuarial techniques that analyze experience, trends and other relevant factors. The amounts recorded for unpaid claims and claim expense reserves represent the Company’s best estimate based upon facts and actuarial guidelines. Accordingly, actual claim payouts may vary from these estimates.

The following summarizes the changes in disabled life and LTC unpaid claims and claim expense reserves:

Claim reserves, beginning of year $ 2,175   $ 2,118

Net claim reserves, end of year   1,865     1,867
Reinsurance recoverables   367     308
Claim reserves, end of year $ 2,232   $ 2,175

The changes in reserves for incurred claims related to prior years are generally the result of recent loss development trends. The $54 million decrease in the prior years’ incurred claims for 2022 and the $5 million decrease in the prior years’ incurred claims for 2021 were generally the result of differences between actual termination experience and statutorily prescribed termination tables. In 2022, claim experience included normal claim volume with higher terminations, resulting in a reduction to the incurred reserve from favorable experience, while 2021 claims incurred was due to maturing LTC business partially offset by a corresponding increase in reinsurance recoverable.

The following reconciles disabled life claim reserves to the net claim reserves at the end of the years presented in the previous table. Disabled life claim reserves are recorded in policyholders' reserves. Accrued claim liabilities are recorded in other liabilities.

d. Additional liability for annuity contracts

Certain individual variable annuity and fixed index annuity products have additional death or other insurance benefit features, such as GMDBs, GMIBs, GMABs and GLWBs. In general, living benefit guarantees require the contract holder or policyholder to adhere to a company approved asset-allocation strategy. Election of these benefit guarantees is generally only available at contract issue.

The following shows the changes in the liabilities for GMDB, GMIB, GMAB and GLWB (in millions):

 

Liability as of January 1, 2021 $ 211
Incurred guarantee benefits   (166)
Paid guarantee benefits   (3)
Liability as of December 31, 2021   42
Incurred guarantee benefits   18
Paid guarantee benefits   (5)
Liability as of December 31, 2022 $ 55

 

The following summarizes the account values, net amount at risk and weighted average attained age for variable annuity contracts with GMDB, GMIB, GMAB and GLWB classified as policyholders’ reserves and separate account liabilities. The net amount at risk is defined as the minimum guarantee less the account value calculated on a policy-by-policy basis, but not less than zero.

9. Reinsurance

The Company enters into reinsurance agreements with affiliated and unaffiliated insurers in the normal course of business in order to mitigate the impact of underwriting mortality and morbidity risks or to assume business. Such transfers do not relieve the Company of its primary liability to its customers and, as such, failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in credit losses that could arise if a reinsurer defaults. The Company reduces reinsurance default risk by evaluating the financial condition of reinsurers and monitoring for possible concentrations within the Company’s reinsurers and using trust structures, when appropriate. The Company reinsures a portion of its mortality risk in its life business under either a first dollar quota-share arrangement or an in excess of the retention limit arrangement with reinsurers. The Company also reinsures a portion of its morbidity risk in its disability and LTC business. The amounts reinsured are on a yearly renewable term, coinsurance funds withheld, coinsurance or Modco basis. The Company’s highest retention limit for new issues of life policies ranges from $15 million to $35 million.

Refer to Note 17. “Related party transactions” for information about the Company’s affiliated assumed reinsurance transactions.

The Company did not reinsure any policies with a company chartered in a country other than the U.S., excluding U.S. branches of these companies, which was owned in excess of 10% or controlled directly or indirectly by an insured, a beneficiary, a creditor or any other person not primarily engaged in the insurance business. There are no reinsurance agreements in effect under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel any reinsurance for reasons other than for nonpayment of premium or other similar credits. The Company has no reinsurance agreements in effect such that the amount of losses paid or accrued through the statement date may result in a payment to the reinsurer of amounts which, in aggregate and allowing for offset of mutual credits from other reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer, exceed the total direct premium collected under the reinsured policies.

If all reinsurance agreements were terminated by either party as of December 31, 2022, the resulting reduction in surplus due to loss of reinsurance reserve credits, net of unearned premium, would be approximately $11,228 million assuming no return of the assets, excluding assets in trust, backing these reserves from the reinsurer to the Company.

Reinsurance amounts included in the Statutory Statements of Operations were as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company increased its gross LTC policyholders’ reserve by $2,465 million through a combination of various assumption changes to reflect the risk inherent in the cash flows of this business, totaling $2,821 million, offset by a prior year error correction of $356 million. The majority of the risk is ceded to an unaffiliated reinsurer resulting in the ceded policyholders’ reserves increasing by an additional $2,165 million. The total net impact of the change is $300 million, which was recorded as an increase to policyholders’ liabilities on the Statutory Statements of Financial Position and an increase to change in policyholders’ reserves on the Statutory Statements of Operations.

b. Defined contribution plans

 

The Company sponsors funded (qualified 401(k) thrift savings) and unfunded (nonqualified deferred compensation thrift savings) defined contribution plans for its employees, agents and retirees. The qualified 401(k) thrift savings plan’s net assets available for benefits were $3,527 million as of December 31, 2022 and $4,104 million as of December 31, 2021. The Company match for the qualified 401(k) thrift savings plan is limited to 5% of eligible W-2 compensation. The Company’s total matching thrift savings contributions, included in general insurance expenses were $52 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $48 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $53 million for 2020.

 

The Company also maintains a defined contribution plan for agents, which was frozen in 2001. The net assets available for these benefits were $144 million as of December 31, 2022 and $179 million as of December 31, 2021.

c. Other postretirement benefits

The Company provides certain life insurance and health care benefits (other postretirement benefits) for its retired employees and agents, their beneficiaries and covered dependents. MMHLLC has the obligation to pay the Company’s other postretirement benefits. The transfer of this obligation to MMHLLC does not relieve the Company of its primary liability. MMHLLC is allocated other postretirement expenses related to interest cost, amortization of actuarial gains (losses) and expected return on plan assets, whereas service cost and prior service cost are recorded by the Company.

Substantially all of the Company’s U.S. employees and agents may become eligible to receive other postretirement benefits. These benefits are funded as the benefits are provided to the participants. For employees who retire after 2009, except certain employees who were close to retirement in 2010, the Company’s cost is limited to a retiree health reimbursement account (RHRA), which accumulates during an employee’s career and can be drawn down by the retiree to purchase coverage outside of the Company or for other health care costs. Retired employees with a RHRA also may choose to purchase coverage through the private retiree exchange.

For other current and future retired employees, and current and future retired agents, the Company provides access to postretirement health care plans through a private retiree exchange. The Company’s cost is limited to the fixed annual subsidy provided to retirees through a Health Reimbursement Account each year that the retiree can use to purchase coverage on the exchange or for other health care costs.

Company-paid basic life insurance is provided to retirees who retired before 2010 and certain employees who retire after 2009 but were close to retirement in 2010. Supplemental life insurance is available to certain retirees on a retiree-pay-all basis.

The Company provides retiree life insurance coverage for home office employees who, as of January 1, 2010, were age 50 with at least 10 years of service or had attained 75 points, generally age plus service, with a minimum 10 years of service.

d. Benefit obligations

Accumulated and projected benefit obligations are the present value of pension benefits earned as of a December 31 measurement date (the Measurement Date) based on service and compensation as of that date.

Refer to Note 12f. “Amounts recognized in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position,” for details on the funded status of the plans. Accumulated and projected postretirement benefit obligations for other postretirement benefits are the present value of postretirement medical and life insurance benefits earned as of the Measurement Date projected for estimated salary increases to an assumed date with respect to retirement, disability or death.

Actuarial (gains) losses represent the difference between the expected results and the actual results used to determine the projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and current year expense. Select assumptions used in this calculation include expected future compensation levels, mortality and expected retirement age.

Projected benefit obligation, end of year $ 2,590   $ 3,099   $ 315   $ 374

 

The determination of the discount rate is based upon rates commensurate with current yields on high quality corporate bonds as of the Measurement Date. A spot yield curve is developed from this data that is used to determine the present value for the obligation. The projected plan cash flows are discounted to the Measurement Date based on the spot yield curve. A single discount rate is utilized to ensure the present value of the benefits cash flow equals the present value computed using the spot yield curve. A 25 basis point change in the discount rate results in approximately a $57 million change in the projected pension benefit obligation. The methodology includes producing a cash flow of annual accrued benefits. Refer to Note 12h. “Assumptions” for details on the discount rate.

e. Plan assets

The assets of the qualified pension plan are invested through a Hextone group annuity contract and investments held in a trust. The group annuity contract invests in the General Investment Account (GIA) of the Company and separate investment accounts. The separate investment accounts are managed by the Company, the Company’s indirectly wholly owned asset manager, subsidiaries, as well as unaffiliated asset managers. The qualified pension plan ceased to invest in separate investment accounts on September 2, 2022, with the assets previously held in the separate investment accounts transferred to investments under the trust.

The Company's qualified pension plan assets managed by the Company and its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries are as follows:

 

  December 31,
  2022   2021
  (In Millions)
           
General Investment Account $ 168   $ 196
Separate Investment Accounts:          
Barings Long Duration Bond Fund   -     310
  $ 168   $ 506

 

The approximate amount of annual benefits to be paid to plan participants covered by a group annuity contract issued by the employer or related parties is $153 million for 2023.

The Company’s overall objective is to manage the assets in a liability framework where investments are selected that are expected to have similar changes in fair value as the related liabilities will have upon changes in interest rates. The company invests in a portfolio of both return-seeking and liability-hedging assets, to achieve long-term growth and to insulate the funded position from interest rate volatility.

The target range allocations are based on two broad categories, return-seeking (i.e., generally equities and alternative investments) and liability-hedging (i.e., generally fixed income). The return-seeking allocation range is 48% - 58% and liability-hedging range is 42% - 52%. Of the return- seeking assets, the range is 35-55% global public equity and 45-65% alternatives. The pension plan assets invested in the GIA through the unallocated group annuity contract earn a fixed interest. These assets comprised approximately 7% of the plan assets as of December 31, 2022 and 6% as of December 31, 2021.

 

The following presents the change in fair value of plan assets:

 

  December 31,
    2022     2021     2022     2021
    Pension     Other Postretirement
    Benefits     Benefits
    (In Millions)
                       
Fair value of plan assets, beginning of year $ 3,053   $ 2,964   $ 2   $ 2
Actual return on plan assets   (415)     266     -     -
Employer contributions   25     29     14     14
Benefits paid   (180)     (206)     (14)     (14)
Fair value of plan assets, end of year $ 2,483   $ 3,053   $ 2   $ 2

 

The General Investment Account is designed to provide stable, long-term investment growth. The account value is maintained at a stable value (generally referred to as “book value”) regardless of financial market fluctuations; however, if the plan sponsor initiates a full or partial termination, the amount liquidated is subject to an adjustment that could result in an increase or decrease in the book value of the plan's investment.

During year-end December 31, 2022, the majority of the assets of the qualified pension plan were held in the Hextone Pension Plan Trust. The Hextone Pension Plan Trust is a trust account with a strategy of investing in traditional and alternative asset classes as directed by the Investment Fiduciary Committee which include public fixed income, public equity, private equity, infrastructure, private debt, hedge funds, and private real estate.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s fair value hierarchy is defined in Note 4. “Fair Value of financial instruments”.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to measure fair value for the investments in the qualified pension plan.

Separate Investment Accounts: There are two methods of determining unit value for the separate investment accounts. The portfolio method is used when the separate investment account invests in a portfolio of securities or two or more underlying mutual funds, bank collective trust funds or other investment vehicles (each an underlying fund). Under this method, the unit value of a separate investment account is determined by dividing the market value of such separate investment account on any valuation date by the total number of units in the separate investment account. The net investment factor method (NIF) is used when the separate investment account invests in shares or units of a single underlying fund. Under this method, the unit value of a separate investment account is determined by taking the unit value for the prior valuation day and multiplying it by the net investment factor for the current valuation day. Under both of these methods the separate investment accounts are therefore classified as Level 2. As of December 31, 2022, the Plan had no specific plans or intentions to sell investments at amounts other than NAV. These investments can be redeemed on a daily basis and have no lockups or funding commitments. These Separate Investment Accounts were exited during 2022 as such only disclosed in the 2021 Fair Value table.

Corporate debt instruments: If Level 1 valuations are not available, the fair value is determined using models such as matrix pricing and therefore, is classified as Level 2, which uses quoted market prices of debt securities with similar characteristics. Valued using the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

PIMCO bond funds: Valued using the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded and therefore classified as Level 1.

Government securities: Marked to market daily based on values provided by third-party vendors or market makers to the extent available or based on model prices. Valuations furnished by a pricing service take into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data and are therefore classified as Level 2.

Common stocks: Valued using the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded and therefore classified as Level 1.

Hextone LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

Collective investment trust: The net asset value per unit of the Funds is calculated on each business day by dividing the total value of assets, less liabilities, by the number of units outstanding. Unit issuances and redemptions are based on the net asset value determined at the end of the current day.

Limited partnerships: The Plan utilizes the practical expedient to calculate fair value of its investments based on the Plan’s pro rata interest in net assets of each underlying partnership. All valuations utilize financial information supplied by the partnership, including income, expenses, gains and losses. The underlying investments of the partnership are accounted for at fair value as described in the partnership’s audited financial statements. The multi-strategy hedge fund can be redeemed semi-annually with 95 day notice. The remaining funds can be redeemed periodically with notice that generally ranges from 45 to 90 days. There are no lockups or funding commitments.

Other: Valued using the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. If Level 1 valuations are not available, the fair value is determined using models such as matrix pricing and therefore, is classified as Level 2, which uses quoted market prices with similar characteristics. Investments included in this category include short term investments, real estate investment trusts, asset backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, swaps, derivatives, futures and options. Investments in multi-strategy hedge fund and real estate are based on the Plan’s pro rata interest in the net assets of the partnership and have a redemption period, therefore are based on NAV as a practical expedient and are reported in the NAV Practical Expedient column. The multi-strategy hedge fund is comprised of two funds, one of which has a quarterly redemption period and the other with a monthly redemption period. They both require 45 days notice. The real estate fund does not have a specific redemption period, but is dependent upon the liquidation of underlying assets. None of the funds have a lock up period or funding commitment.

Cash and cash equivalents: Stated at cost, which is equal to fair value, and held by an unaffiliated bank.

General Investment Account option: Liquidation value based on an actuarial formula as defined under the terms of the contract.

f. Amounts recognized in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position

 

Unrecognized prior service cost is the adjustment to the projected benefit obligation as a result of plan amendments. It represents the increase or decrease in benefits for service performed in prior periods. For pension benefits, this cost is amortized into net periodic benefit cost over the average remaining service years of active employees at the time of the amendment. For other postretirement benefits, this cost is amortized into net periodic benefit cost over the average remaining lifetime of eligible employees and retirees at the time of the amendment.

 

Unrecognized net actuarial (gains) losses are variances between assumptions used and actual experience. These assumptions include return on assets, discount rate, demographics and mortality. The unrecognized net actuarial (gains) losses are amortized if they exceed 10% of the projected benefit obligation and are amortized starting in the period after recognition. These are amortized for pension and other postretirement benefits into net periodic benefit cost over the remaining service-years of active employees.

 

The prepaid pension asset is a cumulative balance of employer contributions made to the plan netted against the plan’s accumulated net periodic benefit costs. The prepaid pension asset is a nonadmitted asset.

 

The accrued benefit cost recognized is the funded status of the plan adjusted for the remaining balance of unrecognized prior service cost, unrecognized net actuarial loss and the nonadmitted prepaid pension asset.

 

The following sets forth the projected benefit obligation funded status of the plans:

 

  December 31,

  Pension   Other Postretirement
  Benefits   Benefits

Less: fair value of plan assets   2,483     3,053     2     2
Projected benefit obligation funded status $ (107)   $ (46)   $ (313)   $ (372)

The qualified pension plan was overfunded by $296 million as of December 31, 2022 and $383 million as of December 31, 2021. The nonqualified pension plans are not funded and have total projected benefit obligations of $403 million as of December 31, 2022 and $430 million as of December 31, 2021.

The qualified pension plan nonadmitted pension plan asset was $678 million as of December 31, 2022 and $636 million as of December 31, 2021.

The Company intends to fund $53 million in 2023 to meet its expected current obligations under its qualified and nonqualified pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans.

Discount rate 2.85 %   2.50 %   3.05 %   2.80 %   2.45 %   3.05 %
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 6.50 %   6.50 %   6.50 %   3.00 %   3.00 %   3.00 %
Expected rate of compensation increase 3.50 %   3.50 %   3.50 %   3.50 %   3.50 %   3.50 %
Interest Crediting rate 5.00 %   5.00 %   5.00 %   2.80 %   2.45 %   3.05 %

 

The discount rate used to determine the benefit obligations as of year end is used to determine the expense in the next fiscal year.

The Company determines its assumptions for the expected rate of return on plan assets for its plans using a “building block” approach, which focuses on ranges of anticipated rates of return for each asset class. A weighted range of nominal rates is determined based on target allocations for each class of asset.

13. Employee compensation plans

The Company has a long-term incentive compensation plan under which certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may be issued phantom stock-based compensation awards. These awards include PSARs and PRS. These awards do not grant an equity or ownership interest in the Company.

16. Business risks, commitments and contingencies
a. Risks and uncertainties

The Company operates in a business environment subject to various risks and uncertainties. The principal risks include insurance and underwriting risks, investment and interest rate risks, currency exchange risk and credit risk. The combined impact of these risks could have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or result in operating losses in future periods. The Company employs the use of reinsurance, portfolio diversification, asset/liability management processes and other risk management techniques to mitigate the impact of these risks.

Insurance and underwriting risks

The Company prices its products based on estimated benefit payments reflecting assumptions with respect to mortality, morbidity, longevity, persistency, interest rates and other factors. If actual policy experience emerges that is significantly and adversely different from assumptions used in product pricing, the effect could be material to the profitability of the Company. For participating whole life products, the Company’s dividends to policyholders primarily reflect the difference between actual investment, mortality, expense and persistency experience and the experience embedded in the whole life premiums and guaranteed elements. The Company also reinsures certain life insurance and other long-term care insurance policies to mitigate the impact of its underwriting risk.

Investment and interest rate risks

The fair value, cash flows and earnings of investments can be influenced by a variety of factors including changes in interest rates, credit spreads, equity markets, portfolio asset allocation and general economic conditions. The Company employs a rigorous asset/liability management process to help mitigate the economic impacts of various investment risks, in particular interest rate risk. By effectively matching the market sensitivity of assets with the liabilities they support, the impact of interest rate changes is addressed, on an economic basis, as the change in the value of the asset is offset by a corresponding change in the value of the supported liability. The Company uses derivatives, such as interest rate swaps and swaptions, as well as synthetic assets to reduce interest rate and duration imbalances determined in asset/liability analyses.

The levels of U.S. interest rates are influenced by U.S. monetary policies and by the relative attractiveness of U.S. markets to investors versus other global markets. As interest rates increase, certain debt securities may experience amortization or prepayment speeds that are slower than those assumed at purchase, impacting the expected maturity of these securities and the ability to reinvest the proceeds at the higher yields. Rising interest rates may also result in a decrease in the fair value of the investment portfolio. As interest rates decline, certain debt securities may experience accelerated amortization and prepayment speeds than what was assumed at purchase. During such periods, the Company is at risk of lower net investment income as it may not be able to reinvest the proceeds at comparable yields. Declining interest rates may also increase the fair value of the investment portfolio.

Interest rates also have an impact on the Company’s products with guaranteed minimum payouts and on interest credited to account holders. As interest rates decrease, investment spreads may contract as crediting rates approach minimum guarantees, resulting in an increased liability.

In periods of increasing interest rates, policy loans, surrenders and withdrawals may increase as policyholders seek investments with higher perceived returns. This could result in cash outflows requiring the Company to sell invested assets at a time when the prices of those assets are adversely affected by the increase in market interest rates, which could cause the Company to realize investment losses.

Currency exchange risk

The Company has currency risk due to its non-U.S. dollar denominated investments and medium-term notes along with its indirect international operations. The Company mitigates a portion of its currency risk through the use of cross-currency swaps and forward contracts. Cross-currency swaps are used to minimize currency risk for certain non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities through a pre-specified exchange of interest and principal. Forward contracts are used to hedge movements in exchange rates.

Credit and other market risks

The Company manages its investments to limit credit and other market risks by diversifying its portfolio among various security types and industry sectors as well as purchasing credit default swaps to transfer some of the risk.

Stressed conditions, volatility and disruptions in global capital markets or in particular markets or financial asset classes can have an adverse effect on the Company, in part because the Company has a large investment portfolio and assets supporting the Company’s insurance liabilities are sensitive to changing market factors. Global market factors, including interest rates, credit spread, equity prices, real estate markets, foreign currency exchange rates, consumer spending, business investment, government spending, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, deflation and inflation, all affect the business and economic environment and, ultimately, the profitability of the Company’s business. Disruptions in one market or asset class can also spread to other markets or asset classes. Upheavals in the financial markets can also affect the Company’s business through their effects on general levels of economic activity, employment and customer behavior.

Real estate markets are monitored continuously with attention on regional differences in price performance, absorption trends and supply and demand fundamentals that can impact the rate of foreclosures and delinquencies. Public sector strengths and weaknesses, job growth and macro-economic issues are factors that are closely monitored to identify any impact on the Company’s real estate related investments.

The CMBS, RMBS and leveraged loan sectors are sensitive to evolving conditions that can impair the cash flows realized by investors and is subject to uncertainty. Management’s judgment regarding OTTI and estimated fair value depends upon the evolving investment sector and economic conditions. It can also be affected by the market liquidity, a lack of which can make it difficult to obtain accurate market prices for RMBS and other investments, including CMBS and leveraged loans. Any deterioration in economic fundamentals, especially related to the housing sector could affect management’s judgment regarding OTTI.

The Company has investments in structured products exposed primarily to the credit risk of corporate bank loans, corporate bonds or credit default swap contracts referencing corporate credit risk. Most of these structured investments are backed by corporate loans and are commonly known as collateralized loan obligations that are classified as CDO. The portfolios backing these investments are actively managed and diversified by industry and individual issuer concentrations. Due to the complex nature of CDO and the reduced level of transparency to the underlying collateral pools for many market participants, the recovery in CDO valuations generally lags the overall recovery in the underlying assets. Management believes its scenario analysis approach, based primarily on actual collateral data and forward-looking assumptions, does capture the credit and most other risks in each pool. However, in a rapidly changing economic environment, the credit and other risks in each collateral pool will be more volatile and actual credit performance of CDO may differ from the Company’s assumptions.

The Company continuously monitors its investments and assesses their liquidity and financial viability; however, the existence of the factors described above, as well as other market factors, could negatively impact the market value of the Company's investments. If the Company sells its investments prior to maturity or market recovery, these investments may yield a return that is less than the Company otherwise would have been able to realize.

Asset-based fees calculated as a percentage of the separate account assets are a source of revenue to the Company. Gains and losses in the investment markets may result in corresponding increases and decreases in the Company’s separate account assets and related revenue.

Market risk arises within the Company’s employee benefit plans to the extent that the obligations of the plans are not fully matched by assets with determinable cash flows. Pension and postretirement obligations are subject to change due to fluctuations in the discount rates used to measure the liabilities as well as factors such as changes in inflation, salary increases and participants living longer. The risks are that such fluctuations could result in assets that are insufficient over time to cover the level of projected benefit obligations. In addition, increases in inflation and members living longer could increase the pension and postretirement obligations. Management determines the level of this risk using reports prepared by independent actuaries and takes action, where appropriate, in terms of setting investment strategy and determining contribution levels. In the event that the pension obligations arising under the Company’s employee benefit plans exceed the assets set aside to meet the obligations, the Company may be required to make additional contributions or increase its level of contributions to these plans.

The spread of the coronavirus had caused increased cases of COVID-19 and significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its further impact on the U.S. and international economies. At this time, the Company is not able to reliably estimate the length and severity of the COVID-19 public health crises and, as such, cannot quantify its impact on the financial results, liquidity and capital resources and its operations in future periods.

Political Uncertainties

Political events, domestically or internationally, may directly or indirectly trigger or exacerbate risks related to product offerings, profitability, or any of the risk factors described above. Whether those underlying risk factors are driven by geopolitics or not, the Company’s dynamic approach to managing risks enables management to identify risks, internally and externally, develop mitigation plans, and respond to risks in an attempt to proactively reduce the potential impact of each underlying risk factor on the Company.

b. Leases

 

The Company leases office space and equipment in the normal course of business under various noncancelable operating lease agreements. Additionally, the Company, as lessee, has entered various sublease agreements with affiliates for office space, such as Barings. Total rental expense on net operating leases, recorded in general insurance expenses, was $91 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $91 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net operating leases are net of sublease receipts of $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the company has not entered into any sale-leaseback transactions with any unrelated parties. The Company had entered into a sale-leaseback transaction with an unrelated party to sell and leaseback certain fixed assets with book values of $100 million, which resulted in no gain or loss. The lease had a five-year term, which expired in 2021 with annual lease payment of approximately $20 million.

Future minimum commitments for all lease obligations as of December 31, 2022 were as follows:

 

    Affiliated Nonaffiliated  
  Gross Subleases Subleases Net

c. Guaranty funds

 

The Company is subject to state insurance guaranty fund laws. These laws assess insurance companies’ amounts to be used to pay benefits to policyholders and policy claimants of insolvent insurance companies. Many states allow these assessments to be credited against future premium taxes. The Company believes such assessments in excess of amounts accrued will not materially impact its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

d. Litigation and regulatory matters

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in disputes, litigation and governmental or regulatory inquiries, administrative proceedings, examinations and investigations, both pending and threatened. These matters, if resolved adversely against the Company or settled, may result in monetary damages, fines and penalties or require changes in the Company’s business practices. The resolution or settlement of these matters is inherently difficult to predict. Based upon the Company’s assessment of these pending matters, the Company does not believe that the amount of any judgment, settlement or other action arising from any pending matter is likely to have a material adverse effect on the statement of financial position. However, an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations for the period in which such matter is resolved, or an accrual is determined to be required, on the financial statement financial position, or on our reputation.

 

The Company evaluates the need for accruals of loss contingencies for each matter. When a liability for a matter is probable and can be estimated, the Company accrues an estimate of the loss offset by related insurance recoveries or other contributions, if any. An accrual may be subject to subsequent adjustment as a result of additional information and other developments. The resolution of matters is inherently difficult to predict, especially in the early stages of matter. Even if a loss is probable, due to many complex factors, such as speed of discovery and the timing of court decisions or rulings, a loss or range of loss may not be reasonably estimated until the later stages of the matter. For matters where a loss is material and it is either probable or reasonably possible then it is disclosed. For matters where a loss may be reasonably possible, but not probable, or is probable but not reasonably estimated, no accrual is established, but the matter, if material, is disclosed.

 

e. Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company provides specified guarantees and funding to MMHLLC and certain of its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $261 million of these unsecured funding commitments to its subsidiaries and $510 million as of December 31, 2021. The unsecured commitments are included in private placements in the table below. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had not funded, nor had an outstanding balance due on, these commitments.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into letter of credit arrangements. The Company had outstanding letter of credit arrangements of approximately $77 million as of December 31, 2022 and approximately $84 million as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any funding requests attributable to these letter of credit arrangements.

Total $ 3,715   $ 4,056   $ 2,701   $ 1,646   $ 2,930   $ 5,794   $ 20,842

 

In the normal course of business the Company enters into commitments related to property lease arrangements, certain indemnities, investments and other business obligations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no outstanding obligations attributable to these commitments.

f. Guarantees

In the normal course of business the Company enters into guarantees related to employee and retirement benefits, the maintenance of subsidiary regulatory capital, surplus levels and liquidity sufficient to meet certain obligations, and other property lease arrangements. If the Company were to recognize a liability, the financial statement impact would be to recognize either an expense or an investment in a subsidiary, controlled, or affiliated entity. The Company has no expectations for recoveries from third parties should these guarantees be triggered. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no outstanding obligations to any obligor attributable to these guarantees.
