This excerpt taken from the C 10-K filed Feb 28, 2005. International Insurance Manufacturing The majority of the annuity business and a substantial portion of the life business written by IIM are accounted for as investment contracts, such that the premiums are considered deposits and are not included in revenues. Combined net written premiums and deposits is a non-GAAP financial measure which management uses to measure business volumes, and may not be comparable to similarly captioned measurements used by other life insurance companies. IIM net written premiums and deposits (which include 100% of net written premiums and deposits for the Company's joint ventures in Japan and Hong Kong) were $6.671 billion in 2004 (including $5.870 billion of deposits), an increase of $2.672 billion from $3.999 billion in 2003 (including $3.505 billion of deposits). The $2.672 billion increase consisted of annuity products net written premiums and deposits up $1.982 billion from $3.378 billion in 2003 and life products net written premiums and deposits up $690 million from $621 million in 2003. The annuity products increase reflects substantial sales growth in Japan through the company's joint venture with Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance and strong sales in Australia driven by the timing of a tax law change. The life products increase reflects strong Variable Universal Life sales in Mexico, increased sales of Endowment and Unit Linked products in Hong Kong and higher credit insurance sales in the United Kingdom. 38
Asset Management reported net income of $238 million in 2004, a decline of $86 million or 27% compared to 2003. The decrease is primarily a result of increased legal expenses and the establishment of a reserve related to the expected resolution of the previously disclosed SEC investigation of transfer agent matters, as well as 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 GPNs of $9 million, the absence of a loss on the sale of an El Salvador retirement services business of $10 million, the impact of positive market action and the cumulative impact of positive net flows. Net income of $324 million in 2003 was down $27 million or 8% compared to 2002, primarily reflecting impairments of the DAC asset relating to the retirement services business in Argentina of $42 million and of Argentina GPNs of $9 million, a loss on the sale of an El Salvador retirement services business of $10 million, reduced fee revenues in CAM due to changes in product mix and revenue sharing agreements with internal Citigroup distributors, and the cumulative impact of outflows of U.S. Retail Money Market Funds. Partially offsetting these declines were the cumulative impact of positive net flows, lower expenses and lower capital funding costs in Mexico.
