This excerpt taken from the C 10-K filed Feb 28, 2005. GLOBAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT2004 NET INCOME BY REGION [EDGAR REPRESENTATION OF GRAPHIC DATA]
Global Investment Management reported net income of $1.311 billion in 2004, which was up $195 million or 17% from 2003. Life Insurance and Annuities net income of $1.073 billion in 2004 increased $281 million compared to 2003, reflecting a $184 million increase in International Insurance Manufacturing (IIM) to $163 million, and a $97 million or 12% increase in Travelers Life and Annuity (TLA) to $910 million. The increase in IIM's income was driven by the absence of realized investment losses and other actions in Argentina in the 2003 third quarter and a tax ruling confirming the deductibility of those losses in the 2004 third quarter, as well as earnings from higher business volumes. The increase in TLA's income reflects earnings from higher business volumes, improved retained investment margins and after-tax reserve releases from the settlement of litigation, partially offset by higher operating expenses driven by the increased business volumes and greater amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC) as well as lower tax benefits from the separate account dividends received deduction (DRD). Asset Management net income of $238 million in 2004 was down $86 million or 27% from 2003, primarily reflecting increased legal expenses and the establishment of a reserve related to the expected resolution of the previously-disclosed SEC investigation into transfer agent matters and the termination of the contract to manage assets for St. Paul Travelers, partially offset by the absence of impairments of a DAC asset relating to the retirement services business in Argentina of $42 million and of Argentina Government Promissory Notes (GPNs) of $9 million, the absence of a loss on the sale of an El Salvador retirement services business of $10 million, and the impact of positive market action and the cumulative impact of positive net flows. Global Investment Management net income of $1.116 billion in 2003 increased $123 million or 12% from 2002. Life Insurance and Annuities net income of $792 million in 2003 increased $150 million compared to 2002, reflecting a $232 million or 40% increase in TLA to $813 million, partially offset by a decrease of $82 million in IIM. The increase in TLA's income was primarily driven by higher net realized insurance investment portfolio gains of $236 million, earnings from higher business volumes, and lower taxes, partially offset by higher DAC amortization and reduced investment yields. The IIM net loss of $21 million in 2003 represented a decrease in income of $82 million from 2002, driven by impairments of Argentina GPNs of $114 million and the impact of certain liability restructuring actions taken in the Argentina voluntary annuity business of $20 million, partially offset by increases in Asia of $24 million and Mexico of $24 million. Asset Management net income of $324 million in 2003 was down $27 million or 8% from 2002, primarily reflecting the impact of impairments in Argentina and reduced fee revenues, partially offset by the cumulative impact of positive net flows, lower expenses and lower capital funding costs in Mexico.
