Non–GAAP Measure
Adjusted
operating
income
is
a
non-GAAP
measure
of
performance
of
our
Financial
Services
Businesses.
Adjusted
operating
income
excludes
"Realized
investment
gains
(losses),
net,"
as
adjusted,
and
related
charges
and
adjustments.
A
significant
element
of
realized
investment
gains
and
losses
are
impairments
and
credit-related
and
interest
rate-related
gains
and
losses.
Impairments
and
losses
from
sales
of
credit-impaired
securities,
the
timing
of
which
depends
largely
on
market
credit
cycles,
can
vary
considerably
across
periods.
The
timing
of
other
sales
that
would
result
in
gains
or
losses,
such
as
interest
rate-related
gains
or
losses,
is
largely
subject
to
our
discretion
and
influenced
by
market
opportunities
as
well
as
our
tax
profile.
Realized
investment
gains
(losses)
representing
profit
or
loss
of
certain
of
our
businesses
which
primarily
originate
investments
for
sale
or
syndication
to
unrelated
investors,
and
those
associated
with
terminating
hedges
of
foreign
currency
earnings
and
current
period
yield
adjustments
are
included
in
adjusted
operating
income.
Realized
investment
gains
and
losses
from
products
that
are
free
standing
derivatives
or
contain
embedded
derivatives,
and
from
associated
derivative
portfolios
that
are
part
of
an
economic
hedging
program
related
to
the
risk
of
those
products,
are
included
in
adjusted
operating
income.
Adjusted
operating
income
also
excludes
investment
gains
and
losses
on
trading
account
assets
supporting
insurance
liabilities
and
changes
in
experience-rated
contractholder
liabilities
due
to
asset
value
changes,
because
these
recorded
changes
in
asset
and
liability
values
will
ultimately
accrue
to
contractholders.
Trends
in
the
underlying
profitability
of
our
businesses
can
be
more
clearly
identified
without
the
fluctuating
effects
of
these
transactions.
In
addition,
adjusted
operating
income
excludes
the
results
of
divested
businesses,
which
are
not
relevant
to
our
ongoing
operations.
Discontinued
operations,
which
is
presented
as
a
separate
component
of
net
income
under
GAAP,
is
also
excluded
from
adjusted
operating
income.
We
believe
that
the
presentation
of
adjusted
operating
income
as
we
measure
it
for
management
purposes
enhances
understanding
of
the
results
of
operations
of
the
Financial
Services
Businesses
by
highlighting
the
results
from
ongoing
operations
and
the
underlying
profitability
of
our
businesses.
However,
adjusted
operating
income
is
not
a
substitute
for
income
determined
in
accordance
with
GAAP,
and
the
excluded
items
are
important
to
an
understanding
of
our
overall
results
of
operations.
The
schedules
on
the
following
three
pages
provide
a
reconciliation
of
adjusted
operating
income
for
the
Financial
Services
Businesses
to
income
from
continuing
operations
in
accordance
with
GAAP.
Return
on
equity
(“ROE”)
based
on
adjusted
operating
income
is
determined
by
dividing
adjusted
operating
income
after-tax
(giving
effect
to
the
direct
equity
adjustment
for
earnings
per
share
calculation),
annualized
for
interim
periods,
by
average
attributed
equity
for
the
Financial
Services
Businesses
excluding
accumulated
other
comprehensive
income
related
to
unrealized
gains
and
losses
on
investments
for
all
periods
and
accumulated
other
comprehensive
income
related
to
pension
and
postretirement
benefits
for
periods
including
and
after
2004.
An
alternative
measure
to
ROE
based
on
adjusted
operating
income
is
return
on
average
equity
based
on
income
from
continuing
operations.
Return
on
average
equity
based
on
income
from
continuing
operations
represents
income
from
continuing
operations
after-tax
as
determined
in
accordance
with
GAAP
(giving
effect
to
the
direct
equity
adjustment
for
earnings
per
share
calculation),
annualized
for
interim
periods,
divided
by
average
total
attributed
equity
for
the
Financial
Services
Businesses.
Return
on
average
equity
based
on
income
from
continuing
operations
is
16.82%
and
14.04%
for
the
nine
months
ended
September
30,
2007
and
2006,
respectively,
and
14.67%,
15.48%,
9.23%,
5.38%
and
3.79%
for
the
years
ended
December
31,
2006,
2005,
2004,
2003
and
2002,
respectively.
Our
expectations
of
Common
Stock
earnings
per
share
and
return
on
equity
are
based
on
after-tax
adjusted
operating
income.
Because
we
do
not
predict
future
realized
investment
gains
/
losses
or
recorded
changes
in
asset
and
liability
values
that
will
ultimately
accrue
to
contractholders,
we
cannot
provide
a
measure
of
our
Common
Stock
earnings
per
share
or
return
on
equity
expectations
based
on
income
from
continuing
operations
of
the
Financial
Services
Businesses,
which
is
the
GAAP
measure
most
comparable
to
adjusted
operating
income.

additional
information
about
adjusted
operating
income
and
the
comparable
GAAP
measure
