We also independently calculated a range of reasonable reserve estimates which we compared to management’s recorded reserve for title claim losses.
−Removed: Assumptions related to initial valuation of intangible asset Value of Business Acquired (VOBA)
+Added: Value of Business Acquired (VOBA), Deferred Acquisition Costs (DAC), Deferred Sales Inducements (DSI) and secondary guarantee liabilities
Description of the Matter
−Removed: The Company’s intangible asset VOBA totaled $1.47 billion as of December 31, 2020.
−Removed: The intangible asset relates to the acquisition of FGL Holding at June 1, 2020 and was established at $1.85 billion.
−Removed: As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, VOBA represents the portion of the purchase price allocated to the value of the rights to receive future cash flows from the business in force at the acquisition date and is calculated as the differences between the amount recorded as insurance contract liabilities and the estimated fair value of in-force contracts.
−Removed: Auditing the valuation of the Company’s VOBA establishment was complex because of the highly judgmental nature of the determination of the assumptions required to determine the fair value of the in force contracts.
−Removed: In particular, the fair value estimate of the in force contracts was sensitive to significant assumptions including the discount rate, surrender rates, partial withdrawals, utilization rates, projected investment spreads, mortality, and expenses.
−Removed: There is significant uncertainty inherent in determining these assumptions.
+Added: At December 31, 2021 VOBA, DAC, and DSI reported within other intangible assets, net totaled $2.0 billion and contractholder funds totaled $35.5 billion, a portion of which related to indexed universal life (IUL)-type and Investment-type contracts with secondary guarantees.
+Added: As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, VOBA, DAC, and DSI are generally amortized over the lives of the policies in relation to the emergence of actual gross profits (AGPs) and estimated gross profits (EGPs).
+Added: Secondary guarantee liabilities on IUL-type products or Investment-type contracts are calculated by multiplying the benefit ratio by the cumulative assessments recorded from contract inception through the balance sheet date less the cumulative secondary guarantee benefit payments plus interest.
+Added: The benefit ratio is the ratio of the present value of secondary guarantees to the present value of the assessments used to provide the secondary guarantees.
+Added: The assessments are calculated using the same assumptions used in VOBA, DAC, and DSI EGPs.
+Added: There is significant uncertainty inherent in calculating EGPs and assessments as the calculation is sensitive to management’s best estimate of assumptions such as earned rate, budgeted option costs, surrender rates, mortality, and guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit (GMWB) utilization.
+Added: Changes in assumptions, including the Company’s earned rate, budgeted option costs, surrender rates, mortality, and GMWB utilization can have a significant impact on the pattern of EGPs of the underlying business and as a result the amortization of VOBA, DAC and DSI balances.
+Added: Management’s assumptions are adjusted, also known as unlocking, based on actual policyholder behavior and market experience and projecting for expected trends.
+Added: The unlocking results in amortization being recalculated using the new assumptions for estimated gross profits, resulting either in additional or less cumulative amortization expense.
+Added: Additionally, if experience or assumption changes result in a new benefit ratio, the secondary guarantee liabilities are adjusted to reflect the changes in a manner similar to the unlocking of VOBA, DAC, and DSI.
+Added: Auditing the valuation of the Company’s VOBA, DAC, and DSI that are amortized in relation to the emergence of AGPs/EGPs and valuation of secondary guarantee liabilities on IUL-type products or Investment-type contracts was complex because of the highly judgmental nature of the methods used and determination of the assumptions applied to determine the EGPs and assessments.
+Added: The high degree of judgment was primarily due to the sensitivity of the EGPs and assessments to the methods used and assumptions applied which have a significant effect on the valuation of VOBA, DAC, DSI and secondary guarantee liabilities on IUL-type products or Investment-type contracts.
How we Addressed the
−Removed: Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over Management’s process for the establishment of VOBA.

−Removed: To evaluate the judgment used by management in determining the assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the VOBA, among other procedures, we involved actuarial specialists and evaluated the methodology applied by management in determining the fair value with those used in the industry.
−Removed: To assess the significant assumptions used by management, we compared the significant assumptions noted above to historical experience, observable market data or management’s estimates of prospective changes in these assumptions.

+Added: We performed an independent recalculation of EGPs and secondary guarantee liabilities for a sample of product cohorts, which we compared to the actuarial model used by management.

Auditing the valuation of the Company’s fixed indexed annuity embedded derivative was complex because of the highly judgmental nature of the determination of the assumptions required to determine the fair value of the embedded derivative.
−Removed: In particular, the fair value was sensitive to the significant assumptions used to determine future policy growth including the mortality, surrender rates, partial withdrawals, non-performance spread, and option cost.
−Removed: There is significant uncertainty inherent in determining the mortality, surrender rates, partial withdrawals, non-performance spread and option cost assumptions.
+Added: In particular, the fair value was sensitive to the significant assumptions used to determine future policy growth including the mortality, surrender rates, partial withdrawals, GMWB utilization, non-performance spread, and option cost.
