Ameriprise increased its quarterly dividend 9 percent to $1.13 per share

  • First quarter adjusted operating earnings per diluted share was $5.43. The prior year period included a tax benefit from a projected net operating loss (NOL) of $1.12 per diluted share. Excluding this impact, adjusted operating EPS increased 27 percent from $4.29 reflecting strong business growth.

 

Perspective from Jim Cracchiolo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

 

 

“Ameriprise delivered an excellent first quarter, building on our momentum from 2020. We continue to execute our strategy well, invest for business growth and deliver meaningful results. And, as economies reopen globally and activity increases, there's a large and growing opportunity to help more consumers and institutions achieve their goals.

 

“Our priority is to deliver a differentiated client experience and reach more people through our leading advice value proposition at Ameriprise, as well as through the broad capabilities and perspective at Columbia Threadneedle. This consistent focus is resulting in strong organic growth, including generating more than $14 billion of client net inflows in the quarter.

 

“As we recently announced, we will be complementing our growth with the strategic acquisition of BMO’s EMEA asset management business. This will increase Columbia Threadneedle’s presence in the European institutional market and expand our investment capabilities and solutions to meet growing client demand.

 

“With our consistent level of free-cash flow generation and financial strength, we were again able to increase our dividend another 9 percent – our 17th increase over the past 16 years – use cash for the acquisition and ensure our capital return plans are on track, all while maintaining our strong financial foundation.”

  • First quarter GAAP net income per diluted share was $3.58, which was negatively impacted by market changes that affected the valuation of derivatives. In the prior year period, the severe market dislocation, steep interest rate reduction and credit spread widening related to COVID-19 resulted in a substantial increase in GAAP results. See details on page 2.

 

  • Adjusted operating net revenue was $3.3 billion, a 10 percent increase from strong organic growth, an excellent result in the face of significant headwinds from low short-term interest rates.

 

  • General and administrative expenses were well managed in light of business growth, up 7 percent. Excluding the impact of share price appreciation on compensation expense, G&A was up 2 percent.

 

  • Assets under management and administration were up 36 percent to $1.14 trillion, a record high from strong client flows in Wealth and Asset Management, as well as market appreciation.

 

  • The company continues to generate strong organic growth, with more than $14 billion of client net inflows from Advice & Wealth Management and Asset Management.

 

  • The advisor network grew to 10,031 with 93 new experienced advisors joining the company in the quarter.

 

  • Investment performance at Columbia Threadneedle Investments remains excellent with 103 funds with 4- and 5-star Morningstar ratings.

 

  • The company returned $491 million of capital to shareholders in the quarter and announced a 9 percent increase in its quarterly dividend to $1.13 per share.

 

  • On April 12, Ameriprise announced the acquisition of BMO’s EMEA Asset Management business for approximately $845 million in cash. This acquisition expands key capabilities in attractive and growing market segments where BMO EMEA Asset Management has leading positions.

 

(1) Return on equity excluding AOCI is calculated on a trailing 12-month basis.

As indicated, the severe market dislocation and steep interest rate reduction in the first quarter of 2020 related to COVID-19 distorted the company’s prior year GAAP and operating results. This included a tax benefit in the year ago quarter from a projected net operating loss (NOL) that was not ultimately realized.

  • Primarily driven by the prior year quarter, which was positively impacted by the significant change in the company’s credit spread and valuation of derivatives used to hedge the company’s variable annuity living benefit guarantees due to severe market dislocation.
  • Current year quarter results were negatively impacted by market changes that affected the valuation of derivatives.

(2) Adjusted operating earnings per diluted share excluding net operating loss (NOL) tax benefit of $5.43, up 27 percent.

  • The significant equity market dislocation in the prior year period created a tax benefit of $1.12 per diluted share associated with the utilization of a NOL that was ultimately not utilized.

Advice & Wealth Management pretax adjusted operating earnings were $389 million, driven by strong flows, higher transactional activity and strong expense management. Excluding the impact from the decline in short-term interest rates of $78 million, adjusted operating earnings increased 30 percent and pretax adjusted operating margin increased 215 basis points. On a sequential basis, pretax operating earnings increased 11 percent and pretax adjusted operating margin expanded 90 basis points.

Adjusted operating net revenues were $1.9 billion, reflecting strong net flows and market appreciation. Excluding the decline in short-term interest rates, revenues increased 16 percent. On a sequential basis, revenues increased 6 percent from strong flows and market appreciation, partially offset by fewer fee days in the current quarter.

Total expenses were $1.5 billion. General and administrative expense was well managed and increased 2 percent, which was in line with expectations based upon the cost associated with increased activity and the impact of share price appreciation on compensation expense.

Total client assets grew 36 percent to $762 billion, with continued strong total client flows of $9.3 billion in the quarter. The company’s ability to meet client needs efficiently and effectively is translating into excellent organic growth. Advisor productivity remains high with a 55 percent increase in flows in the investment advisory business and a 12 percent increase in transactional activity. Wrap net flows reached a record $10.4 billion. Cash balances remain elevated at $40.4 billion with a substantial opportunity for clients to put cash back to work in the future.

Adjusted operating net revenue per advisor on a trailing 12-month basis was $689,000. Excluding the decline in short-term interest rates, adjusted net revenue per advisor increased 8 percent. Total advisors were 10,031 from a combination of high advisor retention and the addition of 93 experienced advisors in the quarter.

Asset Management pretax adjusted operating earnings were $228 million, up 45 percent, reflecting our investment engine, which is driving revenue growth through consistent investment performance and compelling thought leadership leading to increased customer engagement. The prior year quarter included an unfavorable performance fee adjustment. The net pretax adjusted operating margin was 43.9 percent.

Adjusted operating revenues increased 21 percent to $828 million from the cumulative benefit of inflows, a favorable mix shift and higher equity markets. The overall fee rate remained strong at 52 basis points.

Adjusted operating expenses increased 13 percent. General and administrative expenses grew 12 percent driven primarily from higher compensation expense related to stronger business performance and Ameriprise share price appreciation compared to last year, as well as the costs associated with increased activity levels.

Total assets under management increased 32 percent reflecting higher equity markets and net inflows. Investment performance remained strong across equity, fixed income and asset-allocation strategies.

In the quarter, net inflows were $4.9 billion, an improvement of $7.3 billion from a year ago. Excluding legacy insurance partners outflows, net inflows were $6.2 billion, reflecting a continuation of positive flow trends across multiple distribution channels and strategies.

  • Retail net inflows were $4.6 billion. Net inflows in North America were $4.8 billion with notable inflows in the broker-dealer channel partially offset by modest outflows in EMEA.
  • Global institutional net inflows were $1.6 billion, with gross sales across multiple strategies.

Retirement & Protection Solutions pretax adjusted operating earnings increased 10 percent to $183 million. Results were strong from market appreciation, partially offset by higher claims versus an abnormally low level in the year ago period. Overall claims remain within expected ranges.

Retirement sales increased 30 percent year-over-year to $1.5 billion. Retirement sales without living benefit guarantees represented 64 percent of variable annuity sales, driven by our lower-risk structured product, as well as our RAVA 5 product without living benefit guarantees. This sales shift is having a gradual impact on our inforce block, with account values with living benefit riders down nearly 2 percentage points year-over-year to 63 percent. This sales trend is expected to continue and meaningfully shift the mix of the business over time to lower-risk products that do not have living benefit guarantees. Annuity net amount at risk as a percent of account values was de minimis at 0.4 percent for living benefits and 0.1 percent for death benefits, which management believes is one of the lowest among major variable annuity writers, reflecting the high quality of the book.

Sales of protection products were flat to a year ago with a product mix shift that is consistent with our focused approach. Sales of higher-margin accumulation VUL products increased more than 75 percent and sales shifted away from indexed UL products as expected given pricing changes that reflect the low interest rate environment.

(1) Retirement & Protection Solutions segment includes Retirement Solutions (Variable Annuities and Payout Annuities) and Protection Solutions (Life and Disability Insurance). Fixed Annuities moved to the Corporate & Other segment in Q3 2020 as a closed block. Prior periods have been restated.

The year ago quarter included an $11 million benefit from Ameriprise share price depreciation.

Fixed Annuities pretax adjusted operating loss was $4 million from narrowed spreads related to continued low interest rates.

These non-GAAP financial measures are taken into consideration, to varying degrees, for purposes of business planning and analysis and for certain compensation-related matters. Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement investors’ understanding of our performance and should not be considered alternatives for financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are discussed in more detail below and may not be comparable to other companies’ similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measure reconciliations can be found on the subsequent pages.

Retail Fund performance rankings for each fund is measured on a consistent basis against the most appropriate peer group or index. Peer Groupings are defined by either Lipper, IA, or Morningstar and based primarily on the Institutional Share Class, Net of Fees. Comparisons to Index are measured Gross of Fees.

 

 

 

 

 

To calculate asset weighted performance, the sum of the total assets of the funds with above median ranking are divided by total assets of all funds. Funds with more assets will receive a greater share of the total percentage above or below median.

 

 

 

 

 

Aggregated Asset Allocation Funds may include funds that invest in other Columbia or Threadneedle branded mutual funds included in both equity and fixed income.

(1) Adjustments reflect the trailing twelve months' sum of after-tax net realized investment gains/losses, net of deferred sales inducement costs ("DSIC") and deferred acquisition costs ("DAC") amortization, unearned revenue amortization and the reinsurance accrual; the market impact on non-traditional long-duration products, net of hedges and related DAC amortization, unearned revenue amortization, and the reinsurance accrual; mean reversion related impacts; gain on disposal of business; the market impact of hedges to offset interest rate changes on unrealized gains or losses for certain investments; integration/restructuring charges; and the impact of consolidating certain investment entities. After-tax is calculated using the statutory tax rate of 21%.

(2) Adjusted operating return on equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) is calculated using the trailing twelve months of earnings excluding the after-tax net realized investment gains/losses, net of DSIC and DAC amortization, unearned revenue amortization and the reinsurance accrual; the market impact on non-traditional long-duration products, net of hedges and related DAC amortization, unearned revenue amortization, and the reinsurance accrual; mean reversion related impacts; gain on the disposal of business; the market impact of hedges to offset interest rate changes on unrealized gains or losses for certain investments; integration/restructuring charges; the impact of consolidating certain investment entities; and discontinued operations in the numerator, and Ameriprise Financial shareholders' equity excluding AOCI and the impact of consolidating investment entities using a five-point average of quarter-end equity in the denominator. After-tax is calculated using the statutory tax rate of 21%.
