NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including "Risk Factors," and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements relating to future developments in our business or expectations for our future financial performance and any statement not involving a historical fact. Forward-looking statements use words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. Actual results, performance or events may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement due to, among other things, (i) general economic conditions, particularly economic conditions in our core markets, (ii) performance of financial markets, including emerging markets, (iii) the frequency and severity of insured loss events, (iv) the effects of natural or man-made disasters, including pandemic events and specifically the current COVID-19 pandemic event, (v) mortality and morbidity levels, (vi) persistency and lapse levels, (vii) interest rates, (viii) currency exchange rates, (ix) general competitive factors, (x) changes in laws and regulations, (xi) changes in the policies of governments and/or regulatory authorities, and (xii) our ability to successfully manage the separation of the fixed and variable annuities businesses that we sold to VA Capital Company LLC on June 1, 2018, including the transition services on the expected timeline and economic terms and (xiii) our ability to successfully complete the Individual Life Transaction (as defined below) on the expected economic terms or at all. Factors that may cause actual results to differ from those in any forward-looking statement also include those described under "Risk Factors," "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Trends and Uncertainties" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (File No. 001-35897) (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K") and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The risks included here are not exhaustive. Current reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") include additional factors that could affect our businesses and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a rapidly changing and competitive environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors.

Voya Financial, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Voya Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") is a financial services organization in the United States that offers a broad range of retirement services, investment management services, mutual funds, group insurance and supplemental health products.
On December 18, 2019, the Company entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “Resolution MTA”) with Resolution Life U.S. Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Resolution Life US”), pursuant to which Resolution Life US will acquire all of the shares of the capital stock of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company ("SLD") and Security Life of Denver International Limited ("SLDI"), including the capital stock of several subsidiaries of SLD and SLDI. The transaction is expected to close by January 4, 2021 and is subject to conditions specified in the Resolution MTA, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals. The assets and liabilities related to the businesses to be sold have been classified as held for sale in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and are reported separately for all periods presented. See the Business Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Note to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Concurrently with the sale, SLD will enter into reinsurance agreements with insurance subsidiaries of the Company. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company's subsidiaries will reinsure to SLD certain individual life insurance and annuities businesses. The sale of SLD, SLDI and several of their subsidiaries along with the aforementioned reinsurance transactions are referred to herein as the "Individual Life Transaction". The Individual Life Transaction will result in the disposition of substantially all of our life insurance and legacy non-retirement annuity businesses and related assets. As such, the Company will no longer report its Individual Life business as an operating segment.
On June 1, 2018, the Company consummated a series of transactions (collectively, the "2018 Transaction") pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement with VA Capital Company LLC ("VA Capital") and Athene Holding Ltd. ("Athene"). As part of the Transaction, Venerable Holdings, Inc. ("Venerable"), a wholly owned subsidiary of VA Capital, acquired two of the Company's subsidiaries, Voya Insurance and Annuity Company ("VIAC") and Directed Services, LLC ("DSL"), and VIAC and other Voya subsidiaries reinsured to Athene substantially all of their fixed and fixed indexed annuities business. In connection with the 2018 Transaction, VIAC and another Voya subsidiary engaged in a series of reinsurance arrangements pursuant to which Voya and its subsidiaries other than VIAC retained VIAC’s businesses other than variable annuities and fixed and fixed indexed annuities. The Transaction resulted in the disposition of substantially all of the Company's Closed Block Variable Annuity ("CBVA") and Annuities businesses.
The Company provides its principal products and services through three segments: Retirement, Investment Management and Employee Benefits. In addition, the Company includes in Corporate activities that are not directly related to its segments and certain run-off activities that are not meaningful to the Company's business strategy. See the Segments Note to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Prior to May 2013, the Company was an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING Group" or "ING"), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands. In May 2013, Voya Financial Inc. completed its initial public offering of common stock, including the issuance and sale of common stock by Voya Financial, Inc. and the sale of shares of common stock owned indirectly by ING Group. Between October 2013 and March 2015, ING Group completed the sale of its remaining shares of common stock of Voya Financial, Inc. in a series of registered public offerings.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and are unaudited. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated
13 |
Voya Financial, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The inputs into the Company's estimates and assumptions consider the economic implications of COVID-19 on the Company's critical and significant accounting estimates. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Voya Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as well as other voting interest entities ("VOEs") and variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. See the Consolidated Investment Entities Note to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect adjustments (including normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2020, its results of operations, comprehensive income and changes in shareholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and its statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.
The December 31, 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet is from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC. Therefore, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of the Condensed Consolidated financial statements including the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is not aware of any material matters that could impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows or for which a disclosure is required.
Significant Accounting Policies
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, as amended ("ASU 2016-13"). The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for financial assets measured at amortized cost and the prospective method for available-for-sale debt securities as required by ASU 2016-13. As a result, the Company had changes to the following significant accounting policies:
•Investments: Mortgage Loans on Real Estate;
•Impairments; and
•Reinsurance.
Comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under previously applicable U.S. GAAP. The Company’s accounting policies amended by the adoption of ASU 2016-13 are as follows:
Investments
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The Company's mortgage loans on real estate are all commercial mortgage loans, which are reported at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable is reported in Accrued investment income on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Management estimates the credit loss allowance balance using a factor-based method of probability of default and loss given default which incorporates relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Included in the factor-based method are the consideration of debt type, capital market factors, and market vacancy rates, and loan-specific risk characteristics such as debt service coverage ratios (“DSCR”), loan-to-value (“LTV”), collateral size, seniority of the loan, segmentation, and property types.
14 |
Voya Financial, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The change in the allowance for credit losses is recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Loans are written off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written-off and expected to be written-off.
For those mortgages that are determined to require foreclosure, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure.
Impairments
The Company evaluates its available-for-sale investments quarterly to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from credit loss or other factors. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company no longer considers in this evaluation process the length of time a fixed maturity has been in an unrealized loss position.
For available-for-sale securities that do not meet the intent impairment criteria but the Company has determined that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss allowance is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss).
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) as Impairments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Losses are charged against the allowance when the Company believes the uncollectability of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
Reinsurance
Reinsurance recoverable balances are reported net of the allowance for credit losses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management estimates the credit loss allowance balance using a factor-based method of probability of default and loss given default which incorporates relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Included in the factor-based method are the consideration of capital market factors, counterparty financial information and ratings, and reinsurance agreement-specific risk characteristics such as collateral type, collateral size, and covenant strength.
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the reinsurance recoverable balance to present the net amount expected to be collected on the reinsurance recoverable. The change in the allowance for credit losses is recorded in Policyholder benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Adoption of New Pronouncements
The following table provides a description of the Company's adoption of new Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and the impact of the adoption on the Company's financial statements.

Standard | Description of Requirements | Effective Date and Method of Adoption | Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters | ||||||||
ASU 2018-15, Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract | This standard, issued in August 2018, requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to follow the guidance for internal-use software projects to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset. Capitalized implementation costs are required to be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. In addition, a customer is required to apply the impairment and abandonment guidance for long-lived assets to the capitalized implementation costs. Balances related to capitalized implementation costs must be presented in the same financial statement line items as other hosting arrangement balances, and additional disclosures are required. | January 1, 2020 using the prospective method. | Adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. | ||||||||
ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement | This standard, issued in August 2018, simplifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. | January 1, 2020 using the transition method prescribed for each applicable provision. | Adoption of this ASU had no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The adoption resulted in various disclosure changes that have been included in Note 5, Fair Value Measurements. | ||||||||
, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments | This standard, issued in June 2016: • Introduces a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to measure impairment on certain types of financial instruments, • Requires an entity to estimate lifetime expected credit losses, under the new CECL model, based on relevant information about historical events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, • Modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, and • Provides a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. In addition, the FASB issued various amendments during 2018, 2019, and 2020 to clarify the provisions of ASU 2016-13. | January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective method for financial assets measured at amortized cost and the prospective method for available-for-sale debt securities. | The Company recorded a $33 decrease, net of tax, to Unappropriated retained earnings as of a January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13. The combined transition adjustment for continuing and discontinued operations includes recognition of an allowance for credit losses of $19 related to mortgage loans and $28 related to reinsurance recoverables, net of the effect of Deferred policy acquisition costs and Value of business acquired of $5 and deferred income taxes of $9. The provisions that required prospective adoption had no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, disclosures have been updated to reflect accounting policy changes made as a result of the implementation of ASU 2016-13. (See the Significant Accounting Policies section.) Comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under previously applicable U.S. GAAP. |

Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
The following table provides a description of future adoptions of new accounting standards that may have an impact on the Company's financial statements when adopted:
Standard | Description of Requirements | Effective date and transition provisions | Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters | ||||||||
ASU 2020-06, Simplifying the Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity | This standard, issued in August 2020, simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity's own equity. | January 1, 2022, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted no earlier than January 1, 2021. An entity must adopt the guidance at the beginning of its annual fiscal year. Initial adoption of ASU 2020-06 may be reported on either a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis. | The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2020-06. | ||||||||
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform | This standard, issued in March 2020, provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. | The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020, the issuance date of the ASU. An entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. | The Company expects that it will elect to apply some of the expedients and exceptions provided in ASU 2020-04; however, the Company is still evaluating the guidance, and therefore, the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations has not yet been determined. | ||||||||
ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes | This standard, issued in December 2019, simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general principles and simplifying several aspects of ASC 740, Income taxes, including requirements related to the following: • The intraperiod tax allocation exception to the incremental approach, • The tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, • Hybrid tax regimes, • Ownership changes in investments - changes from a subsidiary to an equity method investment, • Separate financial statements of entities not subject to tax, • Interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law, and • The year-to-date loss limitation in interim-period tax accounting. | January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. Early adoption in an interim period must reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period. Initial adoption of ASU 2019-12 is required to be reported on a prospective basis, except for certain provisions that are required to be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively. | The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2019-12. | ||||||||

ASU 2018-14, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans | This standard, issued in August 2018, eliminates certain disclosure requirements that are no longer considered cost beneficial and requires new disclosures that are considered relevant. | December 31, 2020 with early adoption permitted. Initial adoption of ASU 2018-14 is required to be reported on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. | The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2018-14. | ||||||||
ASU 2018-12, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts | This standard, issued in August 2018, changes the measurement and disclosures of insurance liabilities and deferred acquisition costs ("DAC") for long-duration contracts issued by insurers. | On September 30, 2020, the FASB voted to affirm its decision to defer the effective date of the amendments in ASU 2018-12 for SEC filers to fiscal years ending after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Initial adoption for the liability for future policy benefits and DAC is required to be reported using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. For market risk benefits, full retrospective application is required. | The implications of these requirements, including transition options, and related potential financial statement impacts are currently being evaluated. While it is not possible to estimate the expected impact of adoption at this time, the Company believes there is a reasonable possibility that implementation of ASU 2018-12 may result in a significant impact on Shareholders’ equity and future earnings patterns. | ||||||||

2. Business Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
As noted in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note, on December 18, 2019, the Company entered into the Resolution MTA with Resolution Life US to sell several of its subsidiaries and the related Individual Life and fixed and variable annuities businesses within these subsidiaries. Additionally, on June 1, 2018, the Company consummated a series of transactions pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement (the "2018 MTA") to sell substantially all of its fixed and fixed indexed annuities businesses.
The following table presents summary information related to income (loss) from discontinued operations for the periods presented:

The Individual Life Transaction
Sale of legal entities
Pursuant to the Company executing the Resolution MTA and upon closing of the Individual Life Transaction, the Company will sell five of its legal subsidiaries, SLD, SLDI, Roaring River II ("RRII"), Midwestern United Life Insurance Company ("MUL") and Voya American Equities, Inc. ("VAE") to Resolution Life US. Resolution Life US is an insurance holding company newly formed by Resolution Life Group Holdings, L.P., a Bermuda-based limited partnership (“RLGH”). The Individual Life Transaction is expected to close by January 4, 2021 and is subject to conditions specified in the Resolution MTA, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals.
The purchase price in the transaction is approximately $1.25 billion, with an adjustment based on the adjusted capital and surplus of SLD, SLDI and RRII at closing. The purchase price includes cash consideration of approximately $902, a $225 equity interest in RLGH, and $123 principal amount in surplus notes issued by SLD that will be retained by the Company under modified terms. The receivable for the surplus notes and SLD's corresponding liability outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are included in Other investments and Liabilities held for sale, respectively, on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the summary of major categories of assets and liabilities held for sale below, SLD's corresponding liability for the surplus notes is included in Notes payable.
The Individual Life Transaction is subject to a $100 reverse termination fee that would be payable by Resolution Life US to the Company if the Resolution MTA is terminated in prescribed circumstances related to the failure by Resolution Life US’s reserve financing provider to provide a committed financing facility. A separate $20 termination fee would be payable by Resolution Life US to the Company in prescribed circumstances where the Resolution MTA is terminated due to a failure to obtain certain approvals or consents.
Concurrent with the execution of the Resolution MTA, RLGH provided the Company with a limited guarantee to guarantee its financial obligations for an amount not to exceed $1.3 billion, including the termination fees and subject to the terms and conditions in the Resolution MTA.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
The Company has determined that these entities to be disposed of meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and that the sale represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations. Accordingly, the results of operations of the entities to be sold have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the assets and liabilities of the businesses have been classified as held for sale and segregated for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying value or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized. Transactions between the businesses held for sale and businesses in continuing operations that are expected to continue to exist after the disposal are not eliminated to appropriately reflect the continuing operations and the assets, liabilities and results of the businesses held for sale.
The results of discontinued operations are reported in "Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an estimated loss on sale, net of tax of $1,108 to write down the carrying value of the businesses held for sale to estimated fair value, which is based on the estimated sales price of the Individual Life Transaction as of December 31, 2019, less cost to sell and other adjustments in accordance with the Resolution MTA. In addition, the Company is required to remeasure the estimated fair value and loss on sale at the end of each quarter until closing of the Individual Life Transaction. As such, Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes an additional estimated loss on sale of $231, net of tax. The estimated loss on sale, net of tax as of September 30, 2020 of $1,339 represents the excess of the estimated carrying value of the businesses held for sale over the estimated purchase price, which approximates fair value, less cost to sell. Additionally, the estimated loss on sale is based on assumptions that are subject to change due to fluctuations in market conditions and other variables that may occur prior to the closing date.

(1) Includes loss recognition recorded in the third quarter of 2020 associated with certain blocks of reserves.
(2) Includes the impact of annual assumption updates completed in the third quarter of 2020.
The estimated purchase price and estimated carrying value of the legal entities to be sold as of the future date of closing, and therefore the estimated loss on sale related to the Individual Life Transaction, are subject to adjustment in future quarters until closing, and may be influenced by, but not limited to, the following factors:
•The performance of the businesses held for sale, including the impact of mortality, reinsurance rates and financing costs;
•Changes in the terms of the Transaction, including as the result of subsequent negotiations or as necessary to obtain regulatory approval; and
•Other changes in the terms of the Transaction due to unanticipated developments.
The Company is required to remeasure the estimated fair value and loss on sale at the end of each quarter until closing of the Individual Life Transaction. Changes in the estimated loss on sale that occur prior to closing of the Individual Life Transaction will be reported as an adjustment to Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in future quarters prior to closing.
Reinsurance
Concurrently with the sale, SLD will enter into reinsurance agreements with Reliastar Life Insurance Company ("RLI"), ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York ("RLNY"), and Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company ("VRIAC"), each of which is a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to these agreements, RLI and VRIAC will reinsure to SLD a 100% quota share, and RLNY will reinsure to SLD a 75% quota share, of their respective individual life insurance and annuities businesses. RLI, RLNY, and VRIAC will remain subsidiaries of the Company. The Company currently expects that these reinsurance transactions will be carried out on a coinsurance basis, with SLD’s reinsurance obligations collateralized in one of three ways: 1) invested assets placed in a comfort trust; 2) funds withheld basis with invested assets remaining on the respective subsidiaries of the Company; or 3) some combination of these two

collateralization structures. Based on values as of September 30, 2020, U.S GAAP reserves to be ceded under the Individual Life Transaction (defined below) are expected to be approximately $10.3 billion and are subject to change until closing. The reinsurance agreements along with the sale of the legal entities noted above will result in the disposition of substantially all of the Company's life insurance and legacy non-retirement annuity businesses. The revenues and net results of the Individual Life and Annuities businesses that will be disposed of via reinsurance are reported in businesses exited or to be exited through reinsurance or divestment which is an adjustment to the Company's U.S. GAAP revenues and earnings measures to calculate Adjusted operating revenues and Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes, respectively. The Company's loss on sale estimate includes the effect of charges associated with the termination or recapture of certain existing reinsurance arrangements.
The 2018 Transaction
The Company has determined that the CBVA and Annuities businesses disposed of in the 2018 Transaction disclosed in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations and that the sale represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations. Accordingly, the results of operations of the businesses sold have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included an additional loss on sale of $82 related to purchase price true-up amounts with VA Capital which was settled during the second quarter of 2019.
Upon execution of the Individual Life Transaction including the reinsurance arrangements disclosed in the Individual Life Transaction section above, the Company will continue to hold an insignificant number of Individual Life, Annuities and CBVA policies. These policies are referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as "Residual Runoff Business".

The Company has elected the FVO for certain of its fixed maturities to better match the measurement of assets and liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), primarily interest-only and principal-only strips, are accounted for as hybrid instruments and reported at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company invests in various categories of CMOs, including CMOs that are not agency-backed, that are subject to different degrees of risk from changes in interest rates and defaults. The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and extension risks related to significant decreases and increases in interest rates resulting in the prepayment of principal from the underlying mortgages, either earlier or later than originally anticipated. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately 44.8% and 43.4%, respectively, of the Company's CMO holdings, were invested in the above mentioned types of CMOs such as interest-only or principal-only strips, that are subject to more prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs.
Public corporate fixed maturity securities are distinguished from private corporate fixed maturity securities based upon the manner in which they are transacted. Public corporate fixed maturity securities are issued initially through market intermediaries on a registered basis or pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and are traded on the secondary market through brokers acting as principal. Private corporate fixed maturity securities are originally issued by borrowers directly to investors pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and are traded in the secondary market directly with counterparties, either without the participation of a broker or in agency transactions.

Repurchase Agreements
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any securities pledged in dollar rolls or reverse repurchase agreements. As of September 30, 2020, the carrying value of securities pledged and obligation to repay loans related to repurchase agreement transaction was $87 and included in Securities pledged and Payables under securities loan and repurchase agreements, including collateral held on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying value of securities pledged and obligation to repay loans related to repurchase agreement transaction was $66. Securities pledged related to repurchase agreements are comprised of other asset-backed securities.
Securities Lending
The Company engages in securities lending whereby the initial collateral is required at a rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned securities. The lending agent retains the collateral and invests it in high quality liquid assets on behalf of the Company. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value of the loaned securities fluctuates. The lending agent indemnifies the Company against losses resulting from the failure of a counterparty to return securities pledged where collateral is insufficient to cover the loss. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of loaned securities was $546 and $1,159, respectively, and is included in Securities pledged on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
If cash is received as collateral, the lending agent retains the cash collateral and invests it in short-term liquid assets on behalf of the Company. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, cash collateral retained by the lending agent and invested in short-term liquid assets on the Company's behalf was $284 and $1,055, respectively, and is recorded in Short-term investments under securities loan agreements, including collateral delivered on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, liabilities to return collateral of $284 and $1,055, respectively, are included in Payables under securities loan and repurchase agreements, including collateral held on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company accepts non-cash collateral in the form of securities. The securities retained as collateral by the lending agent may not be sold or re-pledged, except in the event of default, and are not reflected on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This collateral generally consists of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agency securities and MBS pools. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of securities retained as collateral by the lending agent on the Company’s behalf was $277 and $146, respectively.

Based on the Company's quarterly evaluation of its securities in a unrealized loss position, described below, the Company concluded that these securities were not impaired as of September 30, 2020. The Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases.
See the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the policy used to evaluate whether the investments are impaired.
Gross unrealized capital losses on fixed maturities, including securities pledged, increased $180 from $91 to $271 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in gross unrealized capital losses was primarily due to non-credit related market factors.
At September 30, 2020, $7 of the total $271 of gross unrealized losses were from 4 available-for-sale fixed maturity securities with an unrealized loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost for 12 months or greater.
Evaluating Securities for Impairments
The Company performs a regular evaluation, on a security-by-security basis, of its available-for-sale securities holdings, including fixed maturity securities, in accordance with its impairment policy in order to evaluate whether such investments are impaired.

The Company may sell securities during the period in which fair value has declined below amortized cost for fixed maturities. In certain situations, new factors, including changes in the business environment, can change the Company’s previous intent to continue holding a security. Accordingly, these factors may lead the Company to record additional intent related capital losses.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, intent impairments in the amounts of $5 and $55 were recorded on assets designated to be included in the reinsurance agreement associated with the Individual Life Transaction.

Troubled Debt Restructuring
The Company invests in high quality, well performing portfolios of commercial mortgage loans and private placements. Under certain circumstances, modifications are granted to these contracts. Each modification is evaluated as to whether a troubled debt restructuring has occurred. A modification is a troubled debt restructuring when the borrower is in financial difficulty and the creditor makes concessions. Generally, the types of concessions may include reducing the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as originally stated, reducing the contractual interest rate, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than current market interest rates and/or reducing accrued interest. The Company considers the amount, timing and extent of the concession granted in determining any impairment or changes in the specific credit allowance recorded in connection with the troubled debt restructuring. A credit allowance may have been recorded prior to the quarter when the loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the carrying value (net of the allowance) before and after modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did have one new commercial mortgage loan trouble debt restructuring with a pre and post modification carrying value of $3. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 the company did not have any new private placement troubled debt restructuring. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company did not have any new commercial mortgage loan troubled debt restructuring. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company did not have any new private placement troubled debt restructuring. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had one new private placement troubled debt restructuring with a pre-modification cost basis of $107 and a post-modification carrying value of $78.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company did not have any commercial mortgage loans or private placements modified in a troubled debt restructuring with a subsequent payment default.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate
The Company diversifies its commercial mortgage loan portfolio by geographic region and property type to reduce concentration risk. The Company manages risk when originating commercial mortgage loans by generally lending only up to 75% of the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate. Subsequently, the Company continuously evaluates mortgage loans based on relevant current information including a review of loan-specific performance, property characteristics and market trends. Loan performance is monitored on a loan specific basis through the review of submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual inspection reports, among other items. This review ensures properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt. The components to evaluate debt service coverage are received and reviewed at least annually to determine the level of risk.
Loan-to-value ("LTV") and debt service coverage ("DSC") ratios are measures commonly used to assess the risk and quality of mortgage loans. The LTV ratio, calculated at time of origination, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. A LTV ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the underlying collateral. The DSC ratio, based upon the most recently received financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of a property’s net income to its debt service payments. A DSC ratio of less than 1.0 indicates that a property’s operations do not generate sufficient income to cover debt payments. These ratios are utilized as part of the review process described above.

To provide temporary financial assistance to our commercial mortgage loans borrowers adversely affected by COVID-19 related stress, the Company has provided payment forbearance to approximately 8% of the outstanding principal amount of our commercial mortgage loans. Deferred payment amounts are expected to be repaid across the 12 months following the end of the agreed upon forbearance period. No modifications to any commercial mortgage loans have been made as of the issuance date of this filing.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company identified 484 commercial mortgage loans with an amortized cost balance of $1,234 in connection with the reinsurance transactions occurring immediately after the closing of the Individual Life Transaction. These commercial mortgage loans are reported with the Company's Mortgage loans on real estate on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020. These commercial mortgage loans are held at lower of cost or market at September 30, 2020 resulting in an immaterial addition to the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, included in the allowance for credit losses table above are allowances of $11 associated with the identified commercial mortgages that will be transferred to the comfort trust as part of the reinsurance portion of the Individual Life Transaction.

Interest income on fixed maturities is recorded when earned using an effective yield method, giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Such interest income is recorded in Net investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Net Realized Capital Gains (Losses)
Net realized capital gains (losses) comprise the difference between the amortized cost of investments and proceeds from sale and redemption, as well as losses incurred due to the credit-related and intent-related impairment of investments. Realized investment gains and losses are also primarily generated from changes in fair value of embedded derivatives within products and fixed maturities, changes in fair value of fixed maturities recorded at FVO and changes in fair value including accruals on derivative instruments, except for effective cash flow hedges. Net realized capital gains (losses) also include changes in fair value of equity securities. The cost of the investments on disposal is generally determined based on first-in-first-out ("FIFO") methodology.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into the following types of derivatives:
Interest rate caps and floors: The Company uses interest rate cap contracts to hedge the interest rate exposure arising from duration mismatches between assets and liabilities. Interest rate caps are also used to hedge interest rate exposure if rates rise above a specified level. The Company uses interest rate floor contracts to hedge interest rate exposure if rates decrease below a specified level. The Company pays an upfront premium to purchase these caps and floors. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and/or liabilities. Interest rate swaps are also used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the value of assets it owns or in an anticipation of acquiring them. Using interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest payments, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made to/from the counterparty at each due date. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships as well as non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Foreign exchange swaps: The Company uses foreign exchange or currency swaps to reduce the risk of change in the value, yield or cash flows associated with certain foreign denominated invested assets. Foreign exchange swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of foreign currency cash flows against U.S. dollar cash flows at regular periods, typically quarterly or semi-annually. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships as well as non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Credit default swaps: Credit default swaps are used to reduce credit loss exposure with respect to certain assets that the Company owns or to assume credit exposure on certain assets that the Company does not own. Payments are made to, or received from, the counterparty at specified intervals. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive a payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make a payment (sold credit protection) equal to the par minus recovery value of the swap contract. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Total return swaps: The Company uses total return swaps as a hedge against a decrease in variable annuity account values, which are invested in certain indices. Total return swaps are also used as a hedge of other corporate liabilities. Using total return swaps, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between the economic risk and reward of assets or a market index and the London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") rate, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. No cash is exchanged at the onset of the contracts. Cash is paid and received over the life of the contract based upon the terms of the swaps. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Currency forwards: The Company utilizes currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposure related to its invested assets. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Forwards: The Company uses forward contracts to hedge certain invested assets against movement in interest rates, particularly mortgage rates. The Company uses To Be Announced mortgage-backed securities as an economic hedge against rate movements. The Company utilizes forward contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Futures: Futures contracts are used to hedge against a decrease in certain equity indices. Such decreases may correlate to a decrease in variable annuity account values which would increase the possibility of the Company incurring an expense for guaranteed benefits in excess of account values. The Company also uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge its exposure to market risks due to changes in interest rates. The Company enters into exchange traded futures with regulated futures commissions that are members of the exchange. The Company also posts initial and variation margins, with the exchange, on a daily basis. The Company utilizes exchange-traded futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships. The Company may also use futures contracts as a hedge against an increase in certain equity indices.

Swaptions: A swaption is an option to enter into a swap with a forward starting effective date. The Company uses swaptions to hedge the interest rate exposure associated with the minimum crediting rate and book value guarantees embedded in the retirement products that the Company offers. Increases in interest rates will generate losses on assets that are backing such liabilities. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of existing purchased swaptions by entering into offsetting written swaptions. The Company pays a premium when it purchases the swaption. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Options: The Company uses equity options to hedge against an increase in various equity indices. Such increases may result in increased payments to the holders of the fixed-index annuity ("FIA") and indexed universal life ("IUL") contracts. The Company pays an upfront premium to purchase these options. The Company utilizes these options in non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Currency Options: The Company uses currency option contracts to hedge currency exposure related to its invested assets. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Managed custody guarantees ("MCGs"): The Company issues certain credited rate guarantees on variable fixed income portfolios that represent stand-alone derivatives. The market value is partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in interest rates, prepayment rates and credit ratings/spreads.
Embedded derivatives: The Company also invests in certain fixed maturity instruments and has issued certain products that contain embedded derivatives for which market value is at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic and/or foreign interest rates (short-term or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity rates or credit ratings/spreads. In addition, the Company has entered into coinsurance with funds withheld arrangements, which contain embedded derivatives.

The Company's use of derivatives is limited mainly to economic hedging to reduce the Company's exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk, exchange rate risk and equity market risk. It is the Company's policy not to offset amounts recognized for derivative instruments and amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement, which provides the Company with the legal right of offset. However, in accordance with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") rules related to the variation margin payments, the Company is required to adjust the derivative balances with the variation margin payments related to its cleared derivatives executed through CME.

(1) Open derivative contracts are reported as Derivatives assets or liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.
Based on the notional amounts, a substantial portion of the Company’s derivative positions was not designated or did not qualify for hedge accounting as part of a hedging relationship as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company utilizes derivative contracts mainly to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows, interest rate risk, credit risk, foreign exchange risk and equity market risk. The majority of derivatives used by the Company are designated as product hedges, which hedge the exposure arising from insurance liabilities or guarantees embedded in the contracts the Company offers through various product lines. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting as they do not meet the criteria of being "highly effective" as outlined in ASC Topic 815, but do provide an economic hedge, which is in line with the Company’s risk management objectives. The Company also uses derivatives contracts to hedge its exposure to various risks associated with the investment portfolio. The Company does not seek hedge accounting treatment for certain of these derivatives as they generally do not qualify for hedge accounting due to the criteria required under the portfolio hedging rules outlined in ASC Topic 815. The Company also uses credit default swaps coupled with other investments in order to produce the investment characteristics of otherwise permissible investments that do not qualify as effective accounting hedges under ASC Topic 815.

Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition in many circumstances. However, in certain cases, the transaction price may not represent fair value. The fair value of a liability is based on the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability to a third-party with an equal credit standing. Fair value is required to be a market-based measurement that is determined based on a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, from a market participant’s perspective. The Company considers three broad valuation approaches when a quoted price is unavailable: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation technique to use, given the instrument being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs. The Company prioritizes the inputs to fair valuation approaches and allows for the use of unobservable inputs to the extent that observable inputs are not available.
The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities in conformity with the concepts of exit price and the fair value hierarchy as prescribed in ASC Topic 820. Valuations are obtained from third-party commercial pricing services, brokers and industry-standard, vendor-provided software that models the value based on market observable inputs. The valuations obtained from third-party commercial pricing services are non-binding. The Company reviews the assumptions and inputs used by third-party commercial pricing services for each reporting period in order to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy level. The documentation and analysis obtained from third-party commercial pricing services are reviewed by the Company, including in-depth validation procedures confirming the observability of inputs. The valuations are reviewed and validated monthly through the internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades or monitoring of trading volumes.
The valuation approaches and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are classified within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are presented below.
For fixed maturities classified as Level 2 assets, fair values are determined using a matrix-based market approach, based on prices obtained from third-party commercial pricing services and the Company’s matrix and analytics-based pricing models, which in each case incorporate a variety of market observable information as valuation inputs. The market observable inputs used for these fair value measurements, by fixed maturity asset class, are as follows:
U.S. Treasuries: Fair value is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary inputs being stripped interest and principal U.S. Treasury yield curves that represent a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon curve.
U.S. government agencies and authorities, State, municipalities and political subdivisions: Fair value is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary inputs being U.S. Treasury yield curves, trades of comparable securities, credit spreads off benchmark yields and issuer ratings.
U.S. corporate public securities, Foreign corporate public securities and foreign governments: Fair value is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary inputs being benchmark yields, trades of comparable securities, issuer ratings, bids and credit spreads off benchmark yields.
U.S. corporate private securities and Foreign corporate private securities: Fair values are determined using a matrix and analytics-based pricing model. The model incorporates the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate credit spreads, credit quality of the issuer and cash flow characteristics of the security. The model also considers a liquidity spread, the value of any collateral, the capital structure of the issuer, the presence of guarantees, and prices and quotes for comparably rated publicly traded securities.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
RMBS, CMBS and ABS: Fair value is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary inputs being credit spreads off benchmark yields, prepayment speed assumptions, current and forecasted loss severity, debt service coverage ratios, collateral type, payment priority within tranche and the vintage of the loans underlying the security.
Generally, the Company does not obtain more than one vendor price from pricing services per instrument. The Company uses a hierarchy process in which prices are obtained from a primary vendor and, if that vendor is unable to provide the price, the next vendor in the hierarchy is contacted until a price is obtained or it is determined that a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service. When a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service, independent broker quotes are solicited. Securities priced using independent broker quotes are classified as Level 3.
Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined primarily using a matrix-based pricing model and are generally classified as Level 2 assets. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer and cash flow characteristics of the security. Also considered are factors such as the net worth of the borrower, the value of collateral, the capital structure of the borrower, the presence of guarantees and the Company’s evaluation of the borrower’s ability to compete in its relevant market. Using this data, the model generates estimated market values, which the Company considers reflective of the fair value of each privately placed bond.
Equity securities: Level 2 and Level 3 equity securities, typically private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, are valued by other sources such as analytics or brokers.
Derivatives: Derivatives are carried at fair value, which is determined using the Company’s derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data from third-party sources, such as yield curves, exchange rates, S&P 500 Index prices, LIBOR and Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") rates. The Company uses OIS for valuations of collateralized interest rate derivatives, which are obtained from third-party sources. For those derivatives that are unable to be valued by the accounting system, the Company typically utilizes values established by third-party brokers. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure. It is the Company’s policy to transact only with investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. The Company’s nonperformance risk is also considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process. The Company also has certain credit default swaps and options that are priced by third party vendors or by using models that primarily use market observable inputs, but contain inputs that are not observable to market participants, which have been classified as Level 3. The remaining derivative instruments are valued based on market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.
Guaranteed benefit derivatives: The Company records reserves for annuity contracts containing GMWBL and GMWB riders. The guarantee is an embedded derivative and is required to be accounted for separately from the host variable annuity contract. The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to the projected cash flows, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of market return scenarios and other market implied assumptions. These derivatives are classified as Level 3 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy.
The index-crediting feature in the Company's FIA and IUL contracts is an embedded derivative that is required to be accounted for separately from the host contract. The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to the projected cash flows, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts for FIAs and over the current indexed term for IULs. The cash flow estimates are produced by market implied assumptions. These derivatives are classified as Level 3 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy.
The Company records reserves for Stabilizer and MCG contracts containing guaranteed credited rates. The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is required to be reported at fair value. The estimated fair value is determined based on the present value of projected future claims, minus the present value of future guaranteed premiums. At inception of the contract, the Company projects a guaranteed premium to be equal to the present value of the projected future claims. The income associated with the contracts is projected using relevant actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of risk neutral scenarios and other market implied assumptions. These derivatives are classified as Level 3 liabilities.

The discount rate used to determine the fair value of the Company's GMWBL, GMWB, FIA, IUL and Stabilizer embedded derivative liabilities and the stand-alone derivative for MCG includes an adjustment to reflect the risk that these obligations will not be fulfilled ("nonperformance risk"). The nonperformance risk adjustment incorporates a blend of observable, similarly rated peer holding company credit spreads, adjusted to reflect the credit quality of the individual insurance subsidiary that issued the guarantee, as well as an adjustment to reflect the non-default spreads and the priority and recovery rates of policyholder claims.
Embedded derivatives on reinsurance: The carrying value of embedded derivatives is estimated based upon the change in the fair value of the assets supporting the funds withheld payable under reinsurance agreements. The fair value of the embedded derivative is based on market observable inputs and is classified as Level 2.
Level 3 Financial Instruments
The fair values of certain assets and liabilities are determined using prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (i.e., Level 3 as defined by ASC Topic 820), including but not limited to liquidity spreads for investments within markets deemed not currently active. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third-party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability. In addition, the Company has determined, for certain financial instruments, an active market is such a significant input to determine fair value that the presence of an inactive market may lead to classification in Level 3. In light of the methodologies employed to obtain the fair values of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3, additional information is presented below.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the transfers in and out of Level 3 for fixed maturities were due to the variation in inputs relied upon for valuation each quarter. Securities that are primarily valued using independent broker quotes when prices are not available from one of the commercial pricing services are reflected as transfers into Level 3. When securities are valued using more widely available information, the securities are transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 1 or 2, as appropriate.
Significant Unobservable Inputs
The Company's Level 3 fair value measurements of its fixed maturities, equity securities and equity and credit derivative contracts are primarily based on broker quotes..
Quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the Company's Level 3 fair value measurements of its guaranteed benefit derivatives is presented in the following sections and table.
Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of IULs include nonperformance risk and policyholder behavior assumptions, such as lapses.
Following is a description of selected inputs:
Nonperformance Risk: For the estimate of the fair value of embedded derivatives associated with the Company's product guarantees, the Company uses a blend of observable, similarly rated peer holding company credit spreads, adjusted to reflect the credit quality of the individual insurance company subsidiary that issued the guarantee as well as an adjustment to reflect the non-default spreads and the priority and recovery rates of policyholder claims.
Actuarial Assumptions: Management regularly reviews actuarial assumptions, which are based on the Company's experience and periodically reviewed against industry standards. Industry standards and Company experience may be limited on certain products.
The following table presents the unobservable inputs for IUL for businesses held for sale as of the dates indicated:
September 30, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Unobservable Input | Range(1) | Weighted Average(3) | Range(1) | ||||||||||||||||||||
Interest rate implied volatility | — | — | — | ||||||||||||||||||||
Nonperformance risk | 0.14% to 0.60% | 0.28 | % | 0.22% to 0.42% | |||||||||||||||||||
Actuarial Assumptions: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Lapses | 2% to 10% | 6 | % | 2% to 10% | |||||||||||||||||||
Mortality | — | (2) | — | — | (2) |
(1) Represents the range of reasonable assumptions that management has used in its fair value calculations.
(2) The mortality rate is derived based on similarly underwritten business
(3) Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments. For credit contracts, the average represents the arithmetic average of the inputs and is not weighted by the relative fair value or notional amount.
Generally, the following will cause an increase (decrease) in the IUL embedded derivative fair value liabilities:
•A decrease (increase) in nonperformance risk
•A decrease (increase) in lapses
Other Financial Instruments
The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 825 which requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Share Repurchase Program
From time to time, the Company's Board of Directors authorizes the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock. These authorizations permit stock repurchases up to a prescribed dollar amount and generally may be accomplished through various means, including, without limitation, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, forward, derivative, or accelerated repurchase, or automatic repurchase transactions, including 10b5-1 plans, or tender offers. Share repurchase authorizations typically expire if unused by a prescribed date.
On October 31, 2019, the Board of Directors provided share repurchase authorization, increasing the aggregate of the Company's common stock authorized for repurchase by $800. The current share repurchase authorization expires on December 31, 2020 (unless extended), and does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors at any time.
The following table presents repurchases of the Company's common stock through share repurchase agreements with third-party financial institutions during the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

Warrants
On May 7, 2013, the Company issued to ING Group warrants to purchase up to 26,050,846 shares of the Company's common stock equal in the aggregate to 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock at that date. The exercise price of the warrants at the time of issuance was $48.75 per share of common stock, subject to adjustments, including for stock dividends, cash dividends in excess of $0.01 per share a quarter, subdivisions, combinations, reclassifications and non-cash distributions. The warrants also provide for, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events affecting the Company, an increase in the number of shares to which a warrant holder will be entitled upon payment of the aggregate exercise price of the warrant. The warrants became exercisable to ING Group and its affiliates on January 1, 2017 and to all other holders starting on the first anniversary of the completion of the IPO (May 7, 2014). The warrants expire on the tenth anniversary of the completion of the IPO (May 7, 2023). The warrants are net share settled, which means that no cash will be payable by a warrant holder in respect of the exercise price of a warrant upon exercise, and are classified as permanent equity. They have been recorded at their fair value determined on the issuance date of May 7, 2013 in the amount of $94 as an addition and reduction to Additional-paid-in-capital. Warrant holders are not entitled to receive dividends. On March 12, 2018, ING Group sold its remaining interests in the warrants and no longer owns any warrants.
On September 28, 2020, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share on its common stock. As a consequence, the exercise price of the warrants to purchase shares of common stock was adjusted to $48.09 per share of common stock and the number of shares of common stock for which each warrant is exercisable has been adjusted to 1.002732027. As of September 30, 2020, no warrants have been exercised.

11. Income Taxes
The Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. Certain items, including changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets and changes in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate and the actual tax expense or benefit is reported in the period the related item is incurred.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 49.7% and 49.0%. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due the effect of the dividends received deduction ("DRD"), tax credits and noncontrolling interest.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 3.4% and 9.5%. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of the DRD, tax credits, and noncontrolling interest.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, which became effective on March 27, 2020, has not had any material impact on corporate income taxes.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either purchase or sell securities, mortgage loans, or money market instruments, at a specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The inability of counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either a higher or lower replacement cost. Also, there is likely to be a change in the value of the securities underlying the commitments.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to acquire mortgage loans of $108 and purchase limited partnerships and private placement investments of $1,041, of which $251 related to consolidated investment entities.
Restricted Assets
The Company is required to maintain assets on deposit with various regulatory authorities to support its insurance operations. The Company may also post collateral in connection with certain securities lending, repurchase agreements, funding agreements, credit facilities and derivative transactions. The components of the fair value of the restricted assets were as follows as of the dates indicated:

(2) Included in Other investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(3) Includes the fair value of loaned securities of $546 and $1,159 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company delivered securities as collateral of $194 and $183 and repurchase agreements of $87 and $66, respectively. Loaned securities and securities delivered as collateral are included in Securities pledged on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Federal Home Loan Bank Funding Agreements
The Company is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines and the FHLB of Boston and is required to pledge collateral to back funding agreements issued to the FHLB. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $795 and $877, respectively, in non-putable funding agreements, which are included in Contract owner account balances on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, assets with a market value of approximately $1,182 and $1,211, respectively, collateralized the FHLB funding agreements. Assets pledged to the FHLB are included in Fixed maturities, available-for-sale, at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, SLD is currently a member of FHLB of Topeka. The related non-puttable funding agreements and the assets pledged are reflected in Liabilities and Assets held for sale on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Litigation, Regulatory Matters and Contingencies
Litigation, regulatory and other loss contingencies arise in connection with the Company's activities as a diversified financial services firm. The Company is a defendant in a number of litigation matters arising from the conduct of its business, both in the ordinary course and otherwise. In some of these matters, claimants seek to recover very large or indeterminate amounts, including compensatory, punitive, treble and exemplary damages. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages and other relief. Claimants are not always required to specify the monetary damages they seek or they may be required only to state an amount sufficient to meet a court's jurisdictional requirements.
78 |
Voya Financial, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
Moreover, some jurisdictions allow claimants to allege monetary damages that far exceed any reasonably possible verdict. The variability in pleading requirements and past experience demonstrates that the monetary and other relief that may be requested in a lawsuit or claim often bears little relevance to the merits or potential value of a claim. Litigation against the Company includes a variety of claims including negligence, breach of contract, fraud, violation of regulation or statute, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, failure to supervise, elder abuse and other torts.
As with other financial services companies, the Company periodically receives informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry. Such matters include an SEC inquiry into mutual fund share classes offered by Voya’s investment advisor subsidiary, involving issues similar to those under the SEC’s Share Class Selection Disclosure Initiative where the SEC has been examining the subsidiary’s receipt of 12b1 fees and other revenue in relation to the accuracy and adequacy of its disclosures. It is the practice of the Company to cooperate fully in these matters.
While it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain cases could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position, based on information currently known, management believes that neither the outcome of pending litigation and regulatory matters, excluding the SEC inquiry referenced immediately above, nor potential liabilities associated with other loss contingencies, are likely to have such an effect. However, given the large and indeterminate amounts sought in certain litigation and the inherent unpredictability of all such matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company's litigation or regulatory matters, or liabilities arising from other loss contingencies, could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect upon the Company's results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarterly or annual period.
For some matters, the Company is able to estimate a possible range of loss. For such matters in which a loss is probable, an accrual has been made. For matters where the Company, however, believes a loss is reasonably possible, but not probable, no accrual is required. For matters for which an accrual has been made, but there remains a reasonably possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued or for matters where no accrual is required, the Company develops an estimate of the unaccrued amounts of the reasonably possible range of losses. As of September 30, 2020, the Company estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of any amounts accrued for these matters as of such date, to be up to approximately $50.
For other matters, the Company is currently not able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. The Company is often unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from plaintiffs and other parties, investigation of factual allegations, rulings by a court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts and the progress of settlement discussions. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation and regulatory contingencies and updates the Company's accruals, disclosures and reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews.
Litigation includes Henkel of America v. ReliaStar Life Insurance Company, et al. (USDC District of Connecticut, No. 1:18-cv-00965) (filed June 8, 2018). Plaintiff alleges that ReliaStar breached the terms of a stop loss policy it issued to Plaintiff by refusing to reimburse Plaintiff for more than $47 in claims incurred by participants in prior years and submitted for coverage under the stop loss policy. Plaintiff alleges a breach of contract claim or, in the alternative, that the stop loss policy be declared to cover the submitted claims, and also asserts that ReliaStar engaged in unfair trade practices and unfair insurance practices in violation of state statutes, and did so willfully and intentionally to warrant an award of punitive damages under state law. The Company denies the allegations, which it believes are without merit, and intends to defend the case vigorously.
Finally, industry wide, life insurers continue to be exposed to class action litigation related to the cost of insurance rates and periodic deductions from cash value. Common allegations include that insurance companies have breached the terms of their universal life insurance policies by establishing or increasing the cost of insurance rates using cost factors not permitted by the contract, thereby unjustly enriching themselves. This litigation is generally known as cost of insurance litigation.
Cost of insurance litigation for the Company includes Barnes v. Security Life of Denver (USDC District of Colorado, No. 1:18-cv-00718) (filed March 27, 2018), a putative class action in which the plaintiff alleges that his insurance policy only permitted the Company to rely upon his expected future mortality experience to establish and increase his cost of insurance, but the Company instead relied upon other, non-disclosed factors to do so. Plaintiff alleges breach of contract and conversion claims

against the Company and also seeks declaratory relief. The Company denies the allegations in the complaint, believes the complaint to be without merit, and intends to defend the matter vigorously.
Cost of insurance litigation for the Company also includes Advance Trust & Life Escrow Services, LTA v. Security Life of Denver (USDC District of Colorado, No. 1:18-cv-01897) (filed July 26, 2018), a putative class action in which Plaintiff alleges that two specific types of universal life insurance policies only permitted the Company to rely upon the policyholder’s expected future mortality experience to establish and increase the cost of insurance, but the Company instead relied upon other, non-disclosed factors not only in the administration of the policies over time, but also in the decision to increase insurance costs beginning in approximately October 2015. Plaintiff alleges a breach of contract and seeks class certification. The Company denies the allegations in the complaint, believes the complaint to be without merit, and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.
Finally, cost of insurance litigation includes Advance Trust & Life Escrow Services, LTA v. ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (USDC District of Minnesota, No. 1:18-cv-02863) (filed October 5, 2018), a putative class action in which Plaintiff alleges that the Company’s universal life insurance policies only permitted the Company to rely upon the policyholders’ expected future mortality experience to establish the cost of insurance, and that as projected mortality experience improved, the policy language required the Company to decrease the cost of insurance. Plaintiff alleges that the Company did not decrease the cost of insurance as required, thereby breaching its contract with the policyholders, and seeks class certification. The Company denies the allegations in the complaint, believes the complaint to be without merit, and will defend the lawsuit vigorously.
Contingencies related to Performance-based Capital Allocations on Private Equity Funds
Certain performance-based capital allocations related to sponsored private equity funds ("carried interest") are not final until the conclusion of an investment term specified in the relevant asset management contract. As a result, such carried interest, if accrued or paid to the Company during such term, is subject to later adjustment based on subsequent fund performance. If the fund’s cumulative investment return falls below specified investment return hurdles, some or all of the previously accrued carried interest is reversed to the extent that the Company is no longer entitled to the performance-based capital allocation. Should the fund’s cumulative investment return subsequently increase above specified investment return hurdles in future periods, previous reversals could be fully or partially recovered.
As of September 30, 2020, approximately $81 of previously accrued carried interest would be subject to full or partial reversal in future periods if cumulative fund performance hurdles are not maintained throughout the remaining life of the affected funds.
14. Consolidated Investment Entities
In the normal course of business, the Company provides investment management services to, invests in and has transactions with, various types of investment entities which may be considered VIEs or VOEs. The Company evaluates its involvement with each entity to determine whether consolidation is required.
The Company holds variable interests in certain investment entities in the form of debt or equity investments, as well as the right to receive management fees, performance fees, and carried interest. The Company consolidates certain entities under the VIE guidance when it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary. Alternatively, certain entities are consolidated under the VOE guidance when control is obtained through voting rights.
The Company has no right to the benefits from, nor does it bear the risks associated with consolidated investment entities beyond the Company’s direct equity and debt investments in and management fees generated from these entities. Such direct investments amounted to approximately $254 and $279 on a continuing basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. If the Company were to liquidate, the assets held by consolidated investment entities would not be available to the general creditors of the Company as a result of the liquidation.

Consolidated VIEs and VOEs
Collateral Loan Obligations Entities ("CLOs")
The Company is involved in the design, creation, and the ongoing management of CLOs. These entities are created for the purpose of acquiring diversified portfolios of senior secured floating rate leveraged loans, and securitizing these assets by issuing multiple tranches of collateralized debt; thereby providing investors with a broad array of risk and return profiles. Also known as collateralized financing entities under Topic 810, CLOs are variable interest entities by definition.
In return for providing collateral management services, the Company earns investment management fees and contingent performance fees. In addition to earning fee income, the Company often holds an investment in certain of the CLOs it manages, generally within the unrated and most subordinated tranche of each CLO. The fee income earned and investments held are included in the Company's ongoing consolidation assessment for each CLO. The Company was the primary beneficiary of 4 and 3 CLOs as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Limited Partnerships
The Company invests in and manages various limited partnerships, including private equity funds and hedge funds. These entities have been evaluated by the Company and are determined to be VIEs due to the equity holders, as a group, lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest.
In return for serving as the general partner of and providing investment management services to these entities, the Company earns management fees and carried interest in the normal course of business. Additionally, the Company often holds an investment in each limited partnership it manages, generally in the form of general partner and limited partner interests. The fee income, carried interest, and investments held are included in the Company’s ongoing consolidation analysis for each limited partnership. The Company consolidated 12 funds, which were structured as partnerships, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Registered Investment Companies
The Company deconsolidated one sponsored investment fund accounted for as a VOE as of September 30, 2020, because it is no longer the majority investor in the fund, and as such, does not have a controlling financial interest in the fund. The Company consolidated one sponsored investment fund accounted for as a VOE as of December 31, 2019, because it is the majority investor in the fund, and as such, had a controlling financial interest in the fund.

Fair Value Measurement
Upon consolidation, the Company elected to apply the FVO for financial assets and financial liabilities held by CLOs and continued to measure these assets (primarily corporate loans) and liabilities (debt obligations issued by CLOs) at fair value in subsequent periods. The Company has elected the FVO to more closely align its accounting with the economics of its transactions and allows the Company to more effectively align changes in the fair value of CLO assets with a commensurate change in the fair value of CLO liabilities.
Investments held by consolidated private equity funds are measured and reported at fair value in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes in the fair value of consolidated investment entities are recorded as a separate line item within Income (loss) related to consolidated investment entities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The methodology for measuring the fair value of financial assets and liabilities of consolidated investment entities, and the classification of these measurements in the fair value hierarchy is consistent with the methodology and classification applied by the Company to its investment portfolio.
As discussed in more detail below, the Company utilizes valuations obtained from third-party commercial pricing services, brokers and investment sponsors or third-party administrators that supply NAV (or its equivalent) per share used as a practical expedient. The valuations obtained from brokers and third-party commercial pricing services are non-binding. These valuations are reviewed on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on the entity and its underlying investments. Procedures include, but are not limited to, a review of underlying fund investor reports, review of top and worst performing funds requiring further scrutiny, review of variance from prior periods and review of variance from benchmarks, where applicable. In addition, the
82 |
Voya Financial, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
Company considers both macro and fund specific events that may impact the latest NAV supplied and determines if further adjustments of value should be made. Such changes, if any, are subject to senior management review.
When a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service, independent broker quotes are solicited. Securities priced using independent broker quotes are classified as Level 3. Broker quotes and prices obtained from pricing services are reviewed and validated through an internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades or monitoring of trading volumes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts for cash reflect the assets’ fair values. The fair value for cash equivalents is determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1.
CLOs
Corporate loans: Corporate loan investments, which comprise the majority of consolidated CLO portfolio collateral, are senior secured corporate loans maturing at various dates between 2020 and 2029, paying interest at LIBOR, EURIBOR or PRIME plus a spread of up to 10.0%. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the unpaid principal balance exceeded the fair value of the corporate loans by approximately $43 and $18, respectively. Less than 1.0% of the collateral assets were in default as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The fair values for corporate loans are determined using independent commercial pricing services. Fair value measurement based on pricing services may be classified in Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the type, complexity, observability and liquidity of the asset being measured. The inputs used by independent commercial pricing services, such as benchmark yields and credit risk adjustments, are those that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Hence, the fair value measurement of corporate loans priced by independent pricing service providers is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, there are assets held with CLO portfolios that represent senior level debt of other third party CLOs. These CLO investments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See description of fair value process for CLO notes below.
CLO notes: The CLO notes are backed by diversified loan portfolios consisting primarily of senior secured floating rate leveraged loans. Repayment risk is segmented into tranches with credit ratings of these tranches reflecting both the credit quality of underlying collateral as well as how much protection a given tranche is afforded by tranches that are subordinate to it. The most subordinated tranche bears the first loss and receives the residual payments, if any. The interest rates are generally variable rates based on LIBOR plus a pre-defined spread, which varies from 0.7% for the more senior tranches to 7.6% for the more subordinated tranches. CLO notes mature in 2026 and 2031, and have a weighted average maturity of 8.4 years as of September 30, 2020. The investors in this debt are not affiliated with the Company and have no recourse to the general credit of the Company for this debt.
The fair values of the CLO notes are measured based on the fair value of the CLO's corporate loans, as the Company uses the measurement alternative available under ASU 2014-13 and determined that the inputs for measuring financial assets are more observable. The CLO notes are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, consistent with the classification of the majority of the CLO financial assets.
The Company reviews the detailed prices including comparisons to prior periods for reasonableness. The Company utilizes a formal pricing challenge process to request a review of any price during which time the vendor examines its assumptions and relevant market inputs to determine if a price change is warranted.
The following narrative indicates the sensitivity of inputs:
•Default Rate: An increase (decrease) in the expected default rate would likely increase (decrease) the discount margin (increase risk premium) used to value the CLO investments and CLO notes and, as a result, would potentially decrease the value of the CLO investments and CLO notes.
83 |
Voya Financial, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
•Recovery Rate: A decrease (increase) in the expected recovery of defaulted assets would potentially decrease (increase) the valuation of CLO investments and CLO notes.
•Prepayment Rate: A decrease (increase) in the expected rate of collateral prepayments would potentially decrease (increase) the valuation of CLO investments and CLO notes as the expected weighted average life ("WAL") would increase (decrease).
•Discount Margin (spread over LIBOR): An increase (decrease) in the discount margin used to value the CLO investments and CLO notes would decrease (increase) the value of the CLO investments and CLO notes.
Private Equity Funds
As prescribed in ASC Topic 820, the unit of account for these investments is the interest in the investee fund. The Company owns an undivided interest in the fund portfolio and does not have the ability to dispose of individual assets and liabilities in the fund portfolio. Rather, the Company would be required to redeem or dispose of its entire interest in the investee fund. There is no current active market for interests in underlying private equity funds.
Valuation is generally based on the valuations provided by the fund's general partner or investment manager. The valuations typically reflect the fair value of the Company's capital account balance of each fund investment, including unrealized capital gains (losses), as reported in the financial statements of the respective investee fund as of the respective year end or the latest available date. In circumstances where fair values are not provided, the Company seeks to determine the fair value of fund investments based upon other information provided by the fund's general partner or investment manager or from other sources.
The fair value of securities received in-kind from fund investments is determined based on the restrictions around the securities.
•Unrestricted, publicly traded securities are valued at the closing public market price on the reporting date;
•Restricted, publicly traded securities may be valued at a discount from the closing public market price on the reporting date, depending on the circumstances; and
•Privately held securities are valued by the directors/general partner of the investee fund, based on a variety of factors, including the price of recent transactions in the company's securities and the company's earnings, revenue and book value.
In the case of direct investments or co-investments in private equity companies, the Company initially recognizes investments at cost and subsequently adjusts investments to fair value. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the general partner or lead investor's valuation of the investee company, taking into account other available information, such as indications of a market value through subsequent issues of capital or transactions between third parties, performance of the investee company during the period and public, comparable companies' analysis, where appropriate.
Investments in these funds typically may not be fully redeemed at net asset value ("NAV") within 90 days because of inherent restriction on near term redemptions.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, certain private equity funds maintained term loans and revolving lines of credit of $667 and $669, respectively. The term loans renew every three years and the revolving lines of credit renew annually; all loans bear interest at LIBOR/EURIBOR plus 150 - 200 bps. The lines of credit are used for funding transactions before capital is called from investors, as well as for the financing of certain purchases. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, outstanding borrowings amount to $459 and $602, respectively.
On March 30, 2020, Pomona Investment Fund terminated its three-year revolving credit agreement with Credit Suisse and entered into a five-year revolving credit agreement with Barclays Bank Plc. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 285 bps and has a commitment fee of 85 bps.
The borrowings are reflected in Liabilities related to consolidated investment entities - other liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The borrowings are carried at an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance.

Deconsolidation of Certain Investment Entities
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company determined its interest in the Pomona Investment Fund was less than a majority of the fund's NAV and therefore did not represent a controlling financial interest. As a result of this determination, the Company deconsolidated one investment entity during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company had no deconsolidations during the three months ended September 30, 2020. There were no deconsolidations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Nonconsolidated VIEs
CLOs
In addition to the consolidated CLOs, the Company also holds variable interest in certain CLOs that are not consolidated as it has been determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. With these CLOs, the Company serves as the investment manager and receives investment management fees and contingent performance fees. Generally, the Company does not hold any interest in the nonconsolidated CLOs but if it does, such ownership has been deemed to be insignificant. The Company has not provided, and is not obligated to provide, any financial or other support to these entities.
The Company reviews its assumptions on a periodic basis to determine if conditions have changed such that the projection of these contingent fees becomes significant enough to reconsider the Company's consolidation status as variable interest holder. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held $389 and $377 ownership interests, respectively, in unconsolidated CLOs on a continuing basis.
Limited Partnerships
The Company manages or holds investments in certain private equity funds and hedge funds. With these entities, the Company serves as the investment manager and is entitled to receive at-market investment management fees and at-market contingent performance fees. The Company does not consolidate any of these investment funds for which it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary.
In addition, the Company does not consolidate the funds in which its involvement takes a form of a limited partner interest and is restricted to a role of a passive investor, as a limited partner's interest does not provide the Company with any substantive kick-out or participating rights, nor does it provide the Company with power to direct the activities of the fund.
The following table presents the carrying amounts of the variable interests in VIEs in which the Company concluded that it holds a variable interest, but is not the primary beneficiary as of the dates indicated. The Company determines its maximum exposure to loss to be: (i) the amount invested in the debt or equity of the VIE and (ii) other commitments and guarantees to the VIE.

Securitizations
The Company invests in various tranches of securitization entities, including RMBS, CMBS and ABS. Through its investments, the Company is not obligated to provide any financial or other support to these entities. Each of the RMBS, CMBS and ABS entities are thinly capitalized by design and considered VIEs. The Company's involvement with these entities is limited to that

Voya Financial, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
of a passive investor. The Company has no unilateral right to appoint or remove the servicer, special servicer or investment manager, which are generally viewed to have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the securitization entities' economic performance, in any of these entities, nor does the Company function in any of these roles. The Company, through its investments or other arrangements, does not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. Therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate any of the RMBS, CMBS and ABS entities in which it holds investments. These investments are accounted for as investments available-for-sale as described in the Fair Value Measurements (excluding Consolidated Investment Entities) Note to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in AOCI, except for certain RMBS which are accounted for under the FVO whose change in fair value is reflected in Other net realized gains (losses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these structured investments is limited to the amount of its investment. Refer to the Investments (excluding Consolidated Investment Entities) Note to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding the carrying amounts and classifications of these assets.
15. Restructuring
Organizational Restructuring
As a result of the closing of the 2018 Transaction, the decision to cease new sales following the strategic review of the Company’s Individual Life business, additional cost savings targets announced in November 2018, and the Individual Life Transaction, the Company has undertaken restructuring efforts to execute the 2018 and Individual Life Transaction, reduce stranded expenses, as well as improve operational efficiency, strengthen technology capabilities and centralize certain sales, operations and investment management activities ("Organizational Restructuring"). The initiatives associated with the closing of the 2018 Transaction and the decision to cease new sales following the strategic review of the Company's Individual Life Business concluded during 2019. See below for further description of restructuring activities related to the Individual Life Transaction.
These activities have resulted in recognition of severance and organizational transition costs that are reflected in both continuing operations and discontinued operations. Amounts reflected in continuing operations are reported in Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, but excluded from Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes. These expenses are classified as a component of Other adjustments to Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and consequently are not included in the adjusted operating results of the Company's segments.
The summary below presents Organizational Restructuring expenses, pre-tax, by type of costs incurred, for the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | Cumulative Amounts Incurred to Date(1) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1) Includes expenses incurred during 2018.
Total restructuring expenses reflected in the table above include expenses related to the Individual Life transaction of $17 and $43 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, a substantial portion of which is included in Income(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The aggregate amount of Organizational Restructuring expenses incurred in 2019 and expected to be incurred through the end of 2020, excluding restructuring efforts resulting from the Individual Life transaction, is in the range of $250 to $300. These costs

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
include severance, organizational transition costs incurred to reorganize operations and other costs such as contract terminations and asset write-offs.
The following table presents the accrued liability associated with Organizational Restructuring expenses as of September 30, 2020:
Severance Benefits | Organizational Transition Costs | Total | |||||||||||||||

Accrued liability as of September 30, 2020 | $ | 9 | $ | 40 | $ | 49 |
Pursuant to the Individual Life Transaction, the Company will divest or dissolve four regulated insurance entities, including its life companies domiciled in Colorado and Indiana, and captive entities domiciled in Arizona. The Company will also divest Voya America Equities LLC, a regulated broker-dealer, and transfer or cease usage of a substantial number of administrative systems. The Company will undertake further restructuring efforts to reduce stranded expenses associated with its Individual Life business as well as its corporate and shared services functions. The Company anticipates incurring additional restructuring expenses directly related to the disposition beyond 2020, in addition to the $17 and $43 incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. These collective costs, which include severance, transition and other costs, cannot currently be estimated but could be material.
16. Segments
Pursuant to the Individual Life Transaction disclosed in the Business Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Note, the Company will no longer report its Life Insurance business as a segment. The Company revised prior period information to conform to current period presentation.
The Company provides its principal products and services through three segments: Retirement, Investment Management and Employee Benefits.
Measurement
Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes is a measure used by management to evaluate segment performance. The Company believes that Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes provides a meaningful measure of its business and segment performances and enhances the understanding of the Company’s financial results by focusing on the operating performance and trends of the underlying business segments and excluding items that tend to be highly variable from period to period based on capital market conditions and/or other factors. The Company uses the same accounting policies and procedures to measure segment Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes as it does for the directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes does not replace Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes as the U.S. GAAP measure of the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Therefore, the Company believes that it is useful to evaluate both Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes when reviewing the Company’s financial and operating performance. Each segment’s Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes is calculated by adjusting Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the following items:
•Net investment gains (losses), net of related amortization of DAC, VOBA, sales inducements and unearned revenue, which are significantly influenced by economic and market conditions, including interest rates and credit spreads, and are not indicative of normal operations. Net investment gains (losses) include gains (losses) on the sale of securities, impairments, changes in the fair value of investments using the FVO unrelated to the implied loan-backed security income recognition for certain mortgage-backed obligations and changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, excluding realized gains (losses) associated with swap settlements and accrued interest;
88 |
Voya Financial, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
•Net guaranteed benefit hedging gains (losses), which are significantly influenced by economic and market conditions and are not indicative of normal operations, include changes in the fair value of derivatives related to guaranteed benefits, net of related reserve increases (decreases) and net of related amortization of DAC, VOBA and sales inducements, less the estimated cost of these benefits. The estimated cost, which is reflected in Adjusted operating results, reflects the expected cost of these benefits if markets perform in line with the Company's long-term expectations and includes the cost of hedging. Other derivative and reserve changes related to guaranteed benefits are excluded from adjusted operating earnings, including the impacts related to changes in the Company's nonperformance spread;
•Income (loss) related to businesses exited or to be exited through reinsurance or divestment, which includes gains and (losses) associated with transactions to exit blocks of business within continuing operations (including net investment gains (losses) on securities sold and expenses directly related to these transactions) and residual run-off activity (including an insignificant number of Individual Life, Annuities and CBVA policies that were not part of the Individual Life and 2018 Transactions). Excluding this activity, which also includes amortization of intangible assets related to businesses exited or to be exited, better reveals trends in the Company's core business and more closely aligns Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes with how the Company manages its segments;
•Income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest, which represents the interest of shareholders, other than those of the Company, in consolidated entities. Income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest represents such shareholders' interests in the gains and (losses) of those entities, or the attribution of results from consolidated VIEs or VOEs to which the Company is not economically entitled;
◦Dividend payments made to preferred shareholders are included as reductions to reflect the Adjusted operating earnings that is available to common shareholders;
•Income (loss) related to early extinguishment of debt, which includes losses incurred as a result of transactions where the Company repurchases outstanding principal amounts of debt; these losses are excluded from Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes since the outcome of decisions to restructure debt are not indicative of normal operations;
•Impairment of goodwill, value of management contract rights and value of customer relationships acquired, which includes losses as a result of impairment analysis; these represent losses related to infrequent events and do not reflect normal, cash-settled expenses;
•Immediate recognition of net actuarial gains (losses) related to the Company's pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and gains (losses) from plan amendments and curtailments, which includes actuarial gains and losses as a result of differences between actual and expected experience on pension plan assets or projected benefit obligation during a given period. The Company immediately recognizes actuarial gains and (losses) related to pension and other postretirement benefit obligations and gains and losses from plan adjustments and curtailments. These amounts do not reflect normal, cash-settled expenses and are not indicative of current Operating expense fundamentals; and
•Other items not indicative of normal operations or performance of the Company's segments or related to events such as
capital or organizational restructurings undertaken to achieve long-term economic benefits, including certain costs related to debt and equity offerings, acquisition / merger integration expenses, severance and other expenses associated with such activities. These items vary widely in timing, scope and frequency between periods as well as between companies to which the Company is compared. Accordingly, the Company adjusts for these items as management believes that these items distort the ability to make a meaningful evaluation of the current and future performance of the Company's segments.

Adjusted operating revenues is a measure of the Company's segment revenues. Each segment's Operating revenues are calculated by adjusting Total revenues to exclude the following items:
•Net investment gains (losses) and related charges and adjustments, which are significantly influenced by economic and market conditions, including interest rates and credit spreads and are not indicative of normal operations. Net investment gains (losses) include gains (losses) on the sale of securities, impairments, changes in the fair value of investments using the FVO unrelated to the implied loan-backed security income recognition for certain mortgage-backed obligations and changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, excluding realized gains (losses) associated with swap settlements and accrued interest. These are net of related amortization of unearned revenue;
•Gains (losses) on changes in fair value of derivatives related to guaranteed benefits, which is significantly influenced by economic and market conditions and not indicative of normal operations, includes changes in the fair value of derivatives related to guaranteed benefits, less the estimated cost of these benefits. The estimated cost, which is reflected in Adjusted operating revenues, reflects the expected cost of these benefits if markets perform in line with the Company's long-term expectations and includes the cost of hedging. Other derivative and reserve changes related to guaranteed benefits are excluded from Adjusted operating revenues, including the impacts related to changes in the Company's nonperformance spread;

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
•Revenues related to businesses exited or to be exited through reinsurance or divestment, which includes revenues associated with transactions to exit blocks of business within continuing operations (including net investment gains (losses) on securities sold related to these transactions) and residual run-off activity (including an insignificant number of Individual Life, Annuities and CBVA policies that were not part of the Individual Life and 2018 Transactions). Excluding this activity better reveals trends in the Company's core business and more closely aligns Adjusted operating revenues with how the Company manages its segments;
•Revenues attributable to noncontrolling interest, which represents the interests of shareholders, other than the Company, in consolidated entities. Revenues attributable to noncontrolling interest represents such shareholders' interests in the gains and losses of those entities, or the attribution of results from consolidated VIEs or VOEs to which the Company is not economically entitled; and
•Other adjustments to Total revenues primarily reflect fee income earned by the Company's broker-dealers for sales of non-proprietary products, which are reflected net of commission expense in the Company's segments’ operating revenues, other items where the income is passed on to third parties and the elimination of intercompany investment expenses included in Adjusted operating revenues.

17. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
The accompanying condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared and presented pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10, "Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered" ("Rule 3-10"). The condensed consolidating financial information presents the financial position of Voya Financial, Inc. ("Parent Issuer"), Voya Holdings ("Subsidiary Guarantor") and all other subsidiaries ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries") of the Company as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, their results of operation and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
The 5.7% senior notes due 2043, the 3.65% senior notes due 2026, the 4.8% senior notes due 2046, the 3.125% senior notes due 2024 (collectively, the "Senior Notes"), the 5.65% fixed-to-floating rate junior subordinated notes due 2053 and the 4.7% fixed-to-floating junior subordinated notes due 2048 (collectively, the "Junior Subordinated Notes"), each issued by Parent Issuer, are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Subsidiary Guarantor, a 100% owned subsidiary of Parent Issuer. No other subsidiary of Parent Issuer guarantees the Senior Notes or the Junior Subordinated Notes. Rule 3-10(h) provides that a guarantee is full and unconditional if, when the issuer of a guaranteed security has failed to make a scheduled payment, the guarantor is obligated to make the scheduled payment immediately and, if it does not, any holder of the guaranteed security may immediately bring suit directly against the guarantor for payment of amounts due and payable. In the event that Parent Issuer does not fulfill the guaranteed obligations, any holder of the Senior Notes or the Junior Subordinated Notes may immediately bring a claim against Subsidiary Guarantor for amounts due and payable.
The following condensed consolidating financial information is presented in conformance with the components of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of illustrating the consolidating presentation. Equity in the subsidiaries is therefore reflected in the Parent Issuer's and Subsidiary Guarantor's Investment in subsidiaries and Equity in earnings of subsidiaries. Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries represent all other subsidiaries on a combined basis. The consolidating adjustments presented herein eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
For the purposes of the discussion in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the term Voya Financial, Inc. refers to Voya Financial, Inc. and the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Voya Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The following discussion and analysis presents a review of our consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and financial condition as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. This item should be read in its entirety and in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 ("Annual Report on Form 10-K").
In addition to historical data, this discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations and financial performance based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. See the Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.
Overview
We provide our principal products and services through three segments: Retirement, Investment Management and Employee Benefits. Corporate includes activities not directly related to our segments and certain insignificant run-off activities that are not meaningful to our business strategy. See the Segments Note to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on our segments.
The following represents segment percentage contributions to total Adjusted operating revenues and Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:
September 30, 2020 | |||||||||||
percent of total | Adjusted Operating Revenues | Adjusted Operating Earnings before Income Taxes | |||||||||
Retirement | 48.2 | % | 97.4 | % | |||||||
Investment Management | 11.5 | % | 55.8 | % | |||||||
Employee Benefits | 39.8 | % | 81.1 | % | |||||||
Corporate | 0.5 | % | (133.7) | % | |||||||
During the third quarter of 2020, we conducted our annual review of assumptions and made changes which impacted our segments' results of operations as well as the results of discontinued operations described below. The impact of assumption changes on our results from continuing operations was unfavorable unlocking of $383 million, of which $165 million was included in Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes for the current period. The impact of the annual review of assumptions on our discontinued operations resulted in unfavorable unlocking of $193 million which was reported in Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the current period. Unlocking in the third quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by changes in long term interest and equity rates.
During the third quarter of 2020, and as a result of the annual review of assumptions, we recorded loss recognition associated with certain blocks of reserves associated with our continuing and discontinued operations. Loss recognition recorded in continuing operations was $171 million of which $10 million was reflected in Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes. Loss recognition recorded in discontinued operations was $26 million and was reported Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax.
For further information, see DAC/VOBA and Other Intangibles Unlocking and the Critical Accounting Judgements and Estimates in Part I, Item 2. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Discontinued Operations
The Individual Life Transaction
On December 18, 2019, we entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “Resolution MTA”) with Resolution Life U.S. Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Resolution Life US”), pursuant to which Resolution Life US will acquire certain of our subsidiaries, including Security Life of Denver Insurance Company ("SLD"), Security Life of Denver International Limited ("SLDI") and Roaring River II, Inc. ("RRII"). The transaction is expected to close by January 4, 2021 and is subject to conditions specified in the Resolution MTA, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals.
We have determined that the legal entities to be sold and the Individual Life and Annuities businesses within these entities meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and that the sale represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations. Accordingly, the results of operations of the businesses to be sold have been presented as discontinued operations, and the assets and liabilities of the related businesses have been classified as held for sale and segregated for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of December 31, 2019, we recorded an estimated loss on sale, net of tax of $1,108 million to write down the carrying value of the businesses held for sale to estimated fair value, which is based on the estimated sales price of the Individual Life Transaction (as defined below) as of December 31, 2019, less cost to sell and other adjustments in accordance with the Resolution MTA. In addition, we are required to remeasure the estimated fair value and loss on sale at the end of each quarter until closing of the Individual Life Transaction. As such, Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes an additional estimated loss on sale of $231 million, net of tax. The estimated loss on sale, net of tax as of September 30, 2020 of $1,339 million, represents the excess of the estimated carrying value of the businesses held for sale over the estimated purchase price, which approximates fair value, less cost to sell. Additionally, the estimated loss on sale is based on assumptions that are subject to change due to fluctuations in market conditions and other variables that may occur prior to the closing date. For additional information on the Individual Life Transaction and the related estimated loss on sale, see Trends and Uncertainties in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Concurrently with the sale, SLD will enter into reinsurance agreements with Reliastar Life Insurance Company ("RLI"), ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (“RLNY”), and Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company ("VRIAC"), each of which is a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to these agreements, RLI and VRIAC will reinsure to SLD a 100% quota share, and RLNY will reinsure to SLD a 75% quota share, of their respective in-scope individual life insurance and annuities businesses. RLI, RLNY, and VRIAC will remain subsidiaries of the Company. We currently expect that these reinsurance transactions will be carried out on a coinsurance or modified coinsurance basis, with SLD’s reinsurance obligations collateralized in one of three ways: (1) invested assets placed in a comfort trust; (2) funds withheld basis with invested assets remaining on the respective subsidiaries of the Company; or (3) some combination of these two collateralization structures. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $5 million and $55 million in intent impairments based on assets we expect to transfer to the comfort trust upon closing. Based on values as of September 30, 2020, U.S. GAAP reserves to be ceded under the Individual Life Transaction are expected to be approximately $10.3 billion and are subject to change until closing. The reinsurance agreements along with the sale of the legal entities noted above (referred to as the "Individual Life Transaction") will result in the disposition of substantially all of the Company's life insurance and legacy non-retirement annuity businesses. The revenues and net results of the Individual Life and Annuities businesses that will be disposed of via reinsurance are reported in businesses exited or to be exited through reinsurance or divestment which is an adjustment to our U.S. GAAP revenues and earnings measures to calculate Adjusted operating revenues and Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes, respectively.
At the closing of the transaction, in addition to the loss on sale described above, we will recognize a further adjustment to Total shareholders' equity, excluding Accumulated other comprehensive income, associated with the portion of the transaction that involves a sale through reinsurance, to the extent the structure is carried out on a coinsurance basis with a comfort trust. We currently estimate that we could realize capital gains, net of DAC and tax, on the investment securities we sell into the comfort trust of our reinsurance counterparty. We also estimate that an allowance for credit losses for the reinsurance recoverable will be established, based on the credit worthiness of our counterparty, form of collateral and other factors. We currently estimate these newly established credit losses, as well as the expected reversal of credit losses on our commercial mortgages are expected to be immaterial on a net basis. Overall, the net aggregate reduction in Total shareholders' equity, excluding Accumulated other comprehensive income, due to the Individual Life Transaction would be in the range of $0 million to $500 million. We currently expect to be towards the lower end of the range, which includes an estimate of realized gains on investments of approximately $1.2 billion, net of DAC and taxes, based on asset values as of September 30, 2020. These estimated impacts are subject to changes through the date of the transaction closing due to many factors including interest rate
109 |
movements, other investment valuation items, asset selections and changes to the structure of the reinsurance transactions, including an ultimate reinsurance structure that is not entirely on a coinsurance basis with a comfort trust.
Furthermore, upon closing of the Individual Life Transaction, we expect to have deferred intangibles in the range of $1.2 billion to $1.7 billion net of tax, subject to changes due to the same factors mentioned above regarding the reduction in Total shareholders' equity, excluding Accumulated other comprehensive income. The deferred intangibles will consist of (1) existing DAC, VOBA and URR balances on businesses already exited via reinsurance and for the portion of the transaction that involves a sale through reinsurance, (2) existing deferred Cost of reinsurance (“COR”) on businesses already exited via reinsurance and (3) deferred COR to be established upon closing of the reinsurance transactions mentioned above. The aggregate deferred intangibles will be amortized as a charge to earnings over the life of the underlying policies. We expect the annual impact of the amortization of these deferred intangibles to be approximately $100 million to $150 million, net of tax which will be classified as a component of Income (loss) related to businesses exited or to be exited via reinsurance which is an adjustment to Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes to calculate Adjusted operating earnings before taxes and consequently are not included in the adjusted operating results of our segments. Additionally, we would expect the annual impact of the amortization of the deferred intangibles to decline over time.
Additionally, to the extent the reinsurance transactions referred to above reinsure policies that do not meet risk transfer, a deposit asset will be established in the amount of net consideration transferred to SLD, which is expected to be in the range of $1.1 billion to $1.6 billion, net of tax. This compares to liabilities related to Contract owner account balances that currently exist for the related underlying policies. The annual net impact of the interest income accretion on the deposit asset and interest credited to the Contract owner account balances is expected to be in the range of approximately $25 million to $50 million, net of tax.

The 2018 Transaction
On June 1, 2018, we consummated a series of transactions (collectively, the "2018 Transaction") pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement with VA Capital Company LLC ("VA Capital") and Athene Holding Ltd. ("Athene"). As part of the 2018 Transaction, Venerable Holdings, Inc. ("Venerable"), a wholly owned subsidiary of VA Capital, acquired two of our subsidiaries, Voya Insurance and Annuity Company ("VIAC") and Directed Services, LLC ("DSL"), and VIAC and other Voya
110 |
subsidiaries reinsured to Athene substantially all of their fixed and fixed indexed annuities business. The 2018 Transaction resulted in the disposition of substantially all of our Closed Block Variable Annuity ("CBVA") and Annuities businesses.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included an additional loss on sale of $82 related to purchase price true-up amounts with VA Capital which was settled during 2019.
Upon execution of the Individual Life Transaction including the reinsurance arrangements disclosed above, we will continue to hold an insignificant number of Individual Life, Annuities and CBVA policies. These policies are referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as "Residual Runoff Business".
Trends and Uncertainties
We describe known material trends and uncertainties that might affect our business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, under the caption "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Trends and Uncertainties", and in other sections of that document, including "Risk Factors". In addition, we describe below in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") more recently developing known trends and uncertainties that we believe may materially affect our future liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. All statements in this section, other than statements of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For a discussion of factors that could cause actual results, performance, or events to differ from those discussed in any forward-looking statement, including in a material manner, see “Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
COVID-19 and its Effect on the Global Economy
COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, has had a significant adverse effect on the global economy since March of 2020. The disease continues to spread widely across the United States and in many countries throughout the world. The persistence of new infections has slowed the re-opening of the U.S. economy and, even in regions where restrictions have largely been lifted, economic activity has been slow to recover. Longer-term, the economic outlook is uncertain, but may depend in significant part on progress with respect to effective therapies to treat COVID-19 or a vaccine. For further information regarding risks associated with COVID-19, see “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Effect on Voya Financial - Financial Condition, Capital and Liquidity
Because both public health and economic circumstances are changing so rapidly at present, it is impossible to predict how COVID-19 will affect Voya Financial’s future financial condition. Absent a further significant and prolonged market shock, however, we do not anticipate a material effect on our balance sheet, statutory capital, or liquidity. Our capital levels remain strong and significantly above our targets. As of September 30, 2020, our estimated combined RBC ratio was 455%, above our 400% target.
We completed repurchases of approximately $400 million of our common shares in the first nine months of 2020, although we paused repurchases later in the first quarter as a prudent measure in light of current market uncertainties. We do not anticipate any reduction in our dividend and continue to monitor the dividends-paying capacity of our insurance subsidiaries.
Effect on Voya Financial - Results of Operations
Predicting with accuracy the consequences of COVID-19 on our results of operations is impossible. Based on current information, however, we believe that the most significant effects of adverse economic conditions will be on our fee-based income, with net investment income experiencing milder effects. Underwriting income, which will principally be affected by increases to mortality and morbidity due to the disease, could also face significant declines, particularly under severe epidemiological scenarios.
Retirement
In Retirement, we’ve experienced pressure on earnings driven by equity market volatility as well as lower interest rates, with effects weighted more heavily towards our full-service corporate markets business and less on recordkeeping business. Although the impact will primarily be on fee-based income, we estimate that lower interest rates will continue to contribute to a
111 |
lower spread-based income. Longer-term effects will depend significantly on equity market performance and prevailing interest rate levels, as well as the magnitude and duration of elevated unemployment levels. We believe that expense reductions and other management actions would be available to offset a portion of any impact.
Investment Management
In Investment Management, fee income has been pressured by the market disruption resulting in lower valuations and assets under management earlier in the year. Overall market improvement since that time and positive net flows contribute to ongoing recovery. In the third quarter, we have seen a partial recovery of certain COVID-19 impacts with higher fund revaluation results reported on investment capital including carried interests and performance fees related to investments that Voya manages. Due to normal lag in reporting from the underlying fund investments, these investment capital results are recognized generally one quarter in arrears. We believe, in aggregate, that investment capital valuations will continue to improve in the fourth quarter of 2020, however if the economy worsens, investment capital results could decline in the future. In addition, we had seen an elevated level of outflows associated with our retail business at the outset of the pandemic that subsided in the second quarter of 2020 and, in the third quarter, we continued to see that positive trend. Other business impacts resulting from COVID-19 include a reduction in sales meetings and activities that could lower the level of sales activity next year.
Employee Benefits
In Employee Benefits, the reduction in premium revenues due to COVID-19 has not been material, though future impacts to premium revenues are still possible in a more severe recession scenario with significant and prolonged unemployment. The effects from COVID-19 have been seen primarily in increased mortality claims on group life policies. We currently do not expect a significant increase in medical stop loss claims, since we believe most COVID-19 related claims are likely to fall below applicable deductibles; our experience to date has been consistent with this expectation.
We expect mortality claims in group life to be elevated through 2020 and into early 2021 due to COVID-19 related deaths, with the magnitude of such claims dependent on mortality rates from the disease. Because COVID-19 disproportionately affects older individuals, and our group life policies generally insure the lives of working-age individuals, the impact of population-wide mortality rates should be mitigated to some extent by the younger average age of our covered lives. We believe that increased claims will have a modest, but not material, effect on the financial results of our Employee Benefits business in 2020. We currently estimate that, for every 10,000 incremental deaths in the United States due to COVID-19, operating earnings of our Employee Benefits segment would decline by approximately $1 to $2 million due to increased claims.
Individual Life
Although we have entered into an agreement to sell our Individual Life business, the financial performance of that business continues to be reflected in our financial results until that transaction closes, which we currently expect to occur by January 4, 2021. Individual Life financial performance is reported partially within discontinued operations and partially as a non-operating adjustment to our consolidated net income.
As with the group life policies that we have underwritten in our Employee Benefits business, we would expect Individual Life mortality claims to be elevated for the next several quarters due to COVID-19 related deaths, with the magnitude of such claims dependent on mortality rates from the disease. We currently estimate that, for every 10,000 incremental deaths in the United States due to COVID-19, the earnings of our Individual Life segment would decline by approximately $2.5 to $5 million due to increased claims.
Interest Rates
We believe the interest rate environment will continue to influence our business and financial performance in the future for several reasons, including the following:
•Our continuing business general account investment portfolio, which was approximately $55.3 billion as of September 30, 2020, consists predominantly of fixed income investments and had an annualized earned yield of approximately 4.7% in the third quarter of 2020. In the near term and absent further material change in yields available on fixed income investments, we expect the yield we earn on new investments will be lower than the yields we earn on maturing investments, which were generally purchased in environments where interest rates were higher than current levels. We currently anticipate that proceeds that are reinvested in fixed income investments during 2020 will earn an average yield below the prevailing portfolio yield. If interest rates were to rise, we expect the yield on our new money
112 |
investments would also rise and gradually converge toward the yield of those maturing assets. In addition, while less material to financial results than new money investment rates, movements in prevailing interest rates also influence the prices of fixed income investments that we sell on the secondary market rather than holding until maturity or repayment, with rising interest rates generally leading to lower prices in the secondary market, and falling interest rates generally leading to higher prices.
•Certain of our products pay guaranteed minimum rates such as fixed accounts and a portion of the stable value accounts included within defined contribution retirement plans. We are required to pay these guaranteed minimum rates even if earnings on our investment portfolio decline, with the resulting investment margin compression negatively impacting earnings. In addition, we expect more policyholders to hold policies (lower lapses) with comparatively high guaranteed rates longer in a low interest rate environment. Conversely, a rise in average yield on our investment portfolio would positively impact earnings if the average interest rate we pay on our products does not rise correspondingly. Similarly, we expect policyholders would be less likely to hold policies (higher lapses) with existing guarantees as interest rates rise.
Further changes in interest rates, whether positive or negative, would likely have modest effects on our future Adjusted operating earnings. For example, we estimate that a 100 basis point increase or decrease in corporate bond yields over the next three years would generally increase or decrease our Adjusted operating earnings by approximately $10 to $60 million over that period, with the impacts increasing from the lower to the higher end of the range the longer the rate change persists.
Discontinued Operations
As described above, as of December 31, 2019, we recorded an estimated loss on sale, net of tax of $1,108 million related to the Individual Life Transaction. In addition, the Company is required to remeasure the estimated fair value and loss on sale at the end of each quarter until closing of the Individual Life Transaction. As such, Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes an additional estimated loss on sale of $231 million, net of tax. The estimated loss on sale, net of tax as of September 30, 2020 of $1,339 million represents the excess of the estimated carrying value of the businesses held for sale over the estimated purchase price, which approximates fair value, less cost to sell. The purchase price in the transaction is approximately $1.25 billion, with an adjustment based on the adjusted capital and surplus of SLD, SLDI and RRII at closing including the assumption of surplus notes.
The estimated purchase price and estimated carrying value of the legal entities to be sold as of the future date of closing, and therefore the estimated loss on sale related to the Individual Life Transaction, are subject to adjustment in future quarters until closing, and may be influenced by, but not limited to, the following factors:
•The performance of the businesses held for sale, including the impact of mortality, reinsurance rates and financing costs;
•Changes in the terms of the Transaction, including as the result of subsequent negotiations or as necessary to obtain regulatory approval; and
•Other changes in the terms of the Transaction due to unanticipated developments.
The Company is required to remeasure the estimated fair value and loss on sale at the end of each quarter until the closing of the Individual Life Transaction. Changes in the estimated loss on sale that occur prior to closing of the Individual Life Transaction will be reported as an adjustment to Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in future quarters prior to closing.
Stranded Costs
As a result of the 2018 Transaction and the Individual Life Transaction, the historical revenues and certain expenses of the sold businesses have been classified as discontinued operations. Historical revenues and certain expenses of the businesses that will be divested via reinsurance at closing of the Individual Life Transaction (including an insignificant amount of Individual Life and closed block non retirement annuities that are not part of the transaction) are reported within continuing operations, but are excluded from adjusted operating earnings as businesses exited or to be exited through reinsurance or divestment. Expenses classified within discontinued operations and businesses exited or to be exited through reinsurance include only direct operating expenses incurred by these businesses and then only to the extent that the nature of such expenses was such that we would cease to incur such expenses upon the close of the 2018 Transaction and the Individual Life Transaction. Certain other direct costs of these businesses, including those which relate to activities for which we have or will provide transitional services and for which we have or will be reimbursed under transition services agreements (“TSAs”) are reported within continuing operations along
113 |
with the associated revenues from the TSAs. Additionally, indirect costs, such as those related to corporate and shared service functions that were previously allocated to the businesses sold or divested via reinsurance, are reported within continuing operations. These costs ("Stranded Costs") and the associated revenues from the TSAs are reported within continuing operations in Corporate, since we do not believe they are representative of the future run-rate of revenues and expenses of our continuing operations. The Stranded Costs related to the 2018 Transaction were removed in the fourth quarter of 2019 and we plan to address the Stranded Costs related to the Individual Life Transaction through a cost reduction strategy. Refer to Restructuring in the section below for more information on this program.
Restructuring
Organizational Restructuring
As a result of the closing of the 2018 Transaction, we have undertaken restructuring efforts to execute the transition and reduce stranded expenses associated with our CBVA and fixed and fixed indexed annuities businesses, as well as our corporate and shared services functions ("Organizational Restructuring").
In August 2018, we announced that we were targeting a cost savings of $110 million to $130 million by the middle of 2019 to address the stranded costs of the 2018 Transaction. Additionally, in October 2018, we announced our decision to cease new sales following the strategic review of our Individual Life business, which was expected to result in cost savings of $20 million. The initiatives associated with these restructuring efforts concluded during 2019.
In November 2018, we announced that we are targeting an additional $100 million of cost savings by the end of 2020 in addition to the cost savings referenced above. These savings initiatives will improve operational efficiency, strengthen technology capabilities and centralize certain sales, operations and investment management activities. The restructuring charges in connection with these initiatives are not reflected in our run-rate cost savings estimates.
The Organizational Restructuring initiatives described above have resulted in recognition of severance and organizational transition costs that are reflected in both continuing operations and discontinued operations. Amounts reflected in continuing operations are reported in Operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, but excluded from Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred Organizational Restructuring expenses of $10 million and $46 million, respectively, associated with continuing operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred Organizational Restructuring expenses of $26 million and $164 million, respectively, associated with continuing operations.
In addition to the restructuring costs incurred above, the anticipated reduction in employees from the execution of the initiatives described above triggered an immaterial curtailment loss and related re-measurement gain of our qualified defined benefit pension plan as of January 31, 2019, which was recorded during the first quarter of 2019.
The aggregate amount of Organizational Restructuring expenses incurred in 2019 and expected to be incurred through the end of 2020, excluding restructuring efforts resulting from the Individual Life Transaction, is in the range of $250 million to $300 million. These costs include severance, organizational transition costs incurred to reorganize operations and other costs such as contract terminations and asset write-offs.
Pursuant to the Individual Life Transaction, we will divest or dissolve four regulated insurance entities, including its life companies domiciled in Colorado and Indiana, and captive entities domiciled in Arizona. We will also divest Voya America Equities LLC, a regulated broker-dealer, and transfer or cease usage of a substantial number of administrative systems. We will undertake further restructuring efforts to reduce stranded expenses associated with our Individual Life business as well as our corporate and shared services functions. We anticipate incurring additional restructuring expenses directly related to the disposition beyond 2020, in addition to the $17 million and $43 million incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, a substantial portion of which is included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These collective costs, which include severance, transition and other costs, cannot currently be estimated but could be material. We expect to be able to estimate the costs in fourth quarter 2020.
Operating Measures
This MD&A includes a discussion of Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes and Adjusted operating revenues, each of which is a measure used by management to evaluate segment performance. We believe that Adjusted operating earnings
114 |
before income taxes provides a meaningful measure of our business performance and enhances the understanding of our financial results by focusing on the operating performance and trends of the underlying business segments and excluding items that tend to be highly variable from period to period based on capital market conditions or other factors. Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes does not replace Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes as the comparable U.S. GAAP measure of our consolidated results of operations. Therefore, we believe that it is useful to evaluate both Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes when reviewing our financial and operating performance. See the Segments Note in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the adjustments made to reconcile Income (loss) before income taxes to Total adjusted operating earnings before income taxes and the adjustments made to reconcile Total revenues to Total adjusted operating revenues.

Terminology Definitions
Net realized capital gains (losses), net realized investment gains (losses) and related charges and adjustments, and Net guaranteed benefit hedging gains (losses) and related charges and adjustments include changes in the fair value of derivatives. Increases in the fair value of derivative assets or decreases in the fair value of derivative liabilities result in "gains." Decreases in the fair value of derivative assets or increases in the fair value of derivative liabilities result in "losses."
In addition, we have certain products that contain guarantees that are embedded derivatives related to guaranteed benefits and index-crediting features, while other products contain such guarantees that are considered derivatives (collectively "guaranteed benefit derivatives").

Employee Benefits - Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
Adjusted Operating earnings before income taxes decreased $1 million from $57 million to $56 million primarily due to:
•higher benefits incurred due to growth in business and COVID-19 impacts; and
•higher distribution expenses and commissions to support business growth.
The decrease was partially offset by:
•higher premiums driven by growth of the voluntary and stop loss blocks; and
•higher alternative asset income.
Employee Benefits - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Adjusted Operating earnings before income taxes increased $10 million from $144 million to $154 million primarily due to:
•higher premiums driven by growth of the voluntary and stop loss blocks.
The increase was partially offset by:
•higher benefits incurred due to growth in business and COVID-19 impacts, partially offset by lower stop loss loss ratios;
•higher distribution expenses and commissions to support business growth; and
•favorable true-ups related to certain reserves, commission accruals, and deferrals in the prior period.

Corporate - Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes improved $10 million from a loss of $98 million to a loss of $88 million primarily due to:
•favorable incentive compensation adjustments in the current period;
•pension benefit which is retained in Corporate effective at the start of the current year; and
•lower Stranded Costs in the current period related to the 2018 Transaction due to increased benefits from cost savings.

Alternative Investment Income
Investment income on certain alternative investments can be volatile due to changes in market conditions. The following table presents the amount of investment income (loss) on certain alternative investments that is included in segment Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes and the average level of assets in each segment, prior to intercompany eliminations, which excludes alternative investments and income that are a component of Assets held for sale, Income (loss) related to businesses exited or to be exited through reinsurance or divestment and Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, respectively, and alternative investments and income in Corporate. These alternative investments are carried at fair value, which is estimated based on the net asset value ("NAV") of these funds.
While investment income on these assets can be volatile, based on current plans, we expect to earn 9.0% on these assets over the long term.
Alternative investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the average assets of alternative investments as of the dates indicated were as follows:

DAC/VOBA and Other Intangibles Unlocking
Changes in Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes and Net income (loss) are influenced by increases and decreases in amortization of DAC, VOBA, deferred sales inducements ("DSI") and unearned revenue ("URR"), collectively, "DAC/VOBA and other intangibles." Unlocking, described below, related to DAC, VOBA, DSI and URR, as well as amortization of net cost of reinsurance and reserve adjustments associated with universal life-type and variable universal life-type secondary guarantees, are referred to as "DAC/VOBA and other intangibles unlocking."
133 |
We amortize DAC/VOBA and other intangibles related to universal life-type contracts and fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the emergence of estimated gross profits. Assumptions as to mortality, persistency, interest crediting rates, returns associated with separate account performance, impact of hedge performance, expenses to administer the business and certain economic variables, such as inflation, are based on our experience and our overall short-term and long-term future expectations for returns available in the capital markets. At each valuation date, estimated gross profits are updated with actual gross profits and the assumptions underlying future estimated gross profits are evaluated for continued reasonableness. Adjustments to estimated gross profits require that amortization rates be revised retroactively to the date of the contract issuance, which is referred to as unlocking. As a result of this process, the cumulative balances of DAC/VOBA and other intangibles are adjusted with an offsetting benefit or charge to income to reflect changes in the period of the revision. An unlocking event that results in a benefit to income ("favorable unlocking") generally occurs as a result of actual experience or future expectations being favorable compared to previous estimates. Changes in DAC/VOBA and other intangibles due to contract changes or contract terminations higher than estimated are also included in "unlocking." At each valuation date, we evaluate these assumptions and, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised, we adjust the reserve balance, with a related charge or credit to Policyholder benefits. These reserve adjustments are included in unlocking associated with all our segments. An unlocking event that results in a charge to income ("unfavorable unlocking") generally occurs as a result of actual experience or future expectations being unfavorable compared to previous estimates. As a result of unlocking, the amortization schedules for future periods are also adjusted.
The DAC/VOBA and other intangibles unlocking in the table below includes the net impact of the annual review of the assumptions. During the third quarter of 2020 we completed our annual review of the assumptions, including projection model inputs, in each of our segments (except for Investment Management, for which assumption reviews are not relevant). As a result of this review, we have made a number of changes to our assumptions resulting a net unfavorable impact to Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes of $175 million in the current period, compared to a net unfavorable impact of $25 million in the prior period. The unlocking in the third quarter 2020 was driven principally by reductions in the long-term interest rates of 175 basis points and long-term equity rate of return of 100 basis points in our Retirement business. The unlocking in the third quarter 2019 was driven principally by a reduction in the long-term interest rate of 50 basis points and lower net margins in our Retirement business.
The following table presents the amount of DAC/VOBA and other intangibles unlocking included in segment Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes for the periods indicated:

Total DAC/VOBA and other intangibles unlocking | $ | (172) | $ | (29) | $ | (179) | $ | (20) |
We also review the estimated gross profits for each of our blocks of business to determine recoverability of DAC/VOBA and other intangibles each period. If these assets are deemed to be unrecoverable, a write-down is recorded that is referred to as loss recognition. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, our annual review of the assumptions resulted in loss recognition, related to the reductions in long-term interest rates and equity rate of return, of $68 million, $10 million of which was reflected in Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes and included in the table above. The remaining $58 million was excluded from Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes and reflected in Income (loss) from businesses exited or to be exited through reinsurance. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, there was no loss recognition. Refer to Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates in Part I, Item 2. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity refers to our ability to access sufficient sources of cash to meet the requirements of our operating, investing and financing activities. Capital refers to our long-term financial resources available to support business operations and future growth. Our ability to generate and maintain sufficient liquidity and capital depends on the profitability of the businesses, timing of cash flows on investments and products, general economic conditions and access to the capital markets and the other sources of liquidity and capital described herein.
134 |
Consolidated Sources and Uses of Liquidity and Capital
Our principal available sources of liquidity are product charges, investment income, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investments, proceeds from debt issuance and borrowing facilities, equity securities issuance, repurchase agreements, contract deposits and securities lending. Primary uses of these funds are payments of policyholder benefits, commissions and operating expenses, interest credits, share repurchases, investment purchases and contract maturities, withdrawals and surrenders.
Parent Company Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Voya Financial, Inc. is largely dependent on cash flows from its operating subsidiaries to meet its obligations. The principal sources of funds available to Voya Financial, Inc. include dividends and returns of capital from its operating subsidiaries, as well as cash and short-term investments, and proceeds from debt issuances, borrowing facilities and equity securities issuances. These sources of funds include the $500 million direct borrowing limit of our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and reciprocal borrowing facilities maintained with Voya Financial, Inc.'s subsidiaries as well as alternate sources of liquidity described below.

Share Repurchase Program and Dividends to Common Shareholders
On March 13, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, purchase shares of our common stock through various means, including, without limitation, open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, forward, derivative, or accelerated repurchase, or automatic repurchase transactions, including 10b5-1 plans, or tender offers.
135 |
Since 2014, our Board of Directors has periodically renewed our authority to repurchase our shares. On October 2019, the Board of Directors provided share repurchase authorization, increasing the aggregate of our common stock authorized for repurchase by $800 million. The current share repurchase authorization expires on December 31, 2020 (unless extended), and does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares.
The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by our Board of Directors at any time. As of September 30, 2020, we were authorized to repurchase shares up to an aggregate purchase price of $284 million.
The following table presents repurchases of our common stock through share repurchase agreements with third-party financial institutions during the nine months ended September 30, 2020:
Execution Date | Payment | Initial Shares Delivered | Closing Date | Additional Shares Delivered | Total Shares Repurchased | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
December 19, 2019 | $ | 200 | 2,591,093 | February 26, 2020 | 727,368 | 3,318,461 |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased 7,390,099 shares of our common stock in open market repurchases for an aggregate purchase price of $366 million.

Liquidity
We manage liquidity through access to substantial investment portfolios as well as a variety of other sources of liquidity including committed credit facilities, securities lending and repurchase agreements. Our asset-liability management ("ALM") process takes into account the expected maturity of investments and expected benefit payments as well as the specific nature and risk profile of the liabilities. As part of our liquidity management process, we model different scenarios to determine whether existing assets are adequate to meet projected cash flows.
Capitalization
The primary components of our capital structure consist of debt and equity securities. Our capital position is supported by cash flows within our operating subsidiaries, the availability of borrowed funds under liquidity facilities, and any additional capital we raise to invest in the growth of the business and for general corporate purposes. We manage our capital position based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, our financial strength, the credit rating of Voya Financial, Inc. and of its insurance company subsidiaries and general macroeconomic conditions.
See the Financing Agreements and Shareholders’ Equity Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Form 10-Q for additional details over changes in debt and equity during the year and impacting capitalization.
Senior Unsecured Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2020, we had a $500 million senior unsecured credit facility with a syndicate of banks which expires November 1, 2024. The facility provides $500 million of committed capacity for issuing letters of credit and the full $500 million may be utilized for direct borrowings. As of September 30, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding as revolving credit borrowings and no amounts of LOCs outstanding under the senior unsecured credit facility. Under the terms of the facility, we are required to maintain a minimum net worth of $6.15 billion, which may increase upon any future equity issuances by us.
136 |
Other Credit Facilities
We use credit facilities to provide collateral required primarily under our affiliated reinsurance transactions with captive insurance subsidiaries. We also issue guarantees and enter into financing arrangements in connection with these credit facilities. These arrangements are designed to facilitate the financing of statutory reserve requirements.
The following table summarizes our credit facilities as of September 30, 2020:

(1) Individual Life Reinsurance business acquired by Hannover Re in 2009 via indemnity reinsurance, see "Reinsurance" below for further information.
(2) These facilities will be terminated as a result of the sale of SLD and SLDI to Resolution. Fees associated with these facilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $7million and $20 million, respectively. Fees associated with these facilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $7 million and $21 million, respectively.
(3) In December 2019 and January 2020, these facilities were amended to include terms which require us to maintain a minimum net worth of $6.15 billion. The minimum net worth may increase upon any future equity issuances by us.
(4) This facility is associated with a total return swap between Voya Financial, Inc. and the lender. As of September 30, 2020, we did not meet the net worth requirement pursuant to the swap agreements. We are currently working with the lender to obtain a waiver to not designate this as a collateralized event.
Total fees associated with credit facilities were $7 million and $22 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Total fees associated with credit facilities were $9 million and $25 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
Voya Financial, Inc. Credit Support of Subsidiaries
In addition to our Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, Voya Financial, Inc. maintains credit facilities with third-party banks to support the reinsurance obligations of our captive reinsurance subsidiaries in which Voya Financial is either a primary obligor or provides a financial guarantee. As of September 30, 2020, such facilities provided for up to $4.0 billion of capacity, of which $3.4 billion was utilized.
We also provide credit support to our Roaring River IV, LLC ("Roaring River IV") captive reinsurance subsidiary through a surplus maintenance agreement with a third-party bank in connection with a financing arrangement involving $565 million of statutory reserves which matures December 31, 2028. The reimbursement agreement requires Voya Financial, Inc. to cause capital to be maintained in Roaring River IV Holding LLC, the intermediate holding company of Roaring River IV, and in Roaring River IV. These amounts will vary over time based on a percentage of Roaring River IV in force life insurance. Upon closing the transaction, we expect to unwind this financing arrangement, and this guarantee will therefore terminate.
137 |
In addition, we provide guarantees to certain of our subsidiaries to support various business requirements:
•Under the Buyer Facility Agreement put into place by Hannover Re, Voya Financial, Inc. and Security Life of Denver International Limited ("SLDI") have contingent reimbursement obligations and Voya Financial, Inc. has guarantee obligations, up to the full $2.9 billion principal amount of the note and one $600 million letter of credit issued pursuant to the agreement, if Security Life of Denver Insurance Company ("SLD") or SLDI were to direct the sale or liquidation of the note other than as permitted by the Buyer Facility Agreement, or fail to return reinsurance collateral (including the note) upon termination of the Buyer Facility Agreement or as otherwise required by the Buyer Facility Agreement. In addition, Voya Financial, Inc. has agreed to indemnify Hannover Re for any losses it incurs in the event that SLD or SLDI were to exercise offset rights unrelated to the Hannover Re block. We expect to restructure this guarantee arrangement in connection with the Individual Life Transaction.
•Voya Financial, Inc. has also entered into a corporate guarantee agreement with a third-party ceding insurer where it guarantees the reinsurance obligations of our subsidiary, SLD, assumed under a reinsurance agreement with the third-party cedent for the amount of the statutory reserves assumed by SLD. The current amount of reserves outstanding as of September 30, 2020 is $13 million. We intend to terminate this guarantee arrangement in connection with the Individual Life Transaction.
•Voya Financial, Inc. guarantees the obligations of Voya Holdings under the $13 million principal amount Equitable Notes maturing in 2027, and provides a back-to-back guarantee to ING Group in respect of its guarantee of $358 million combined principal amount of Aetna Notes. For more information see "Capitalization- Aetna Notes" above.
•Voya Financial, Inc. and Voya Holdings provide a guarantee to certain Voya insurance subsidiaries of VIAC’s payment obligations to those subsidiaries under certain VIAC surplus notes held by those subsidiaries. The agreement provides for Voya and Voya Holdings to reimburse the applicable subsidiary to the extent that any interest on, principal of, or any redemption payment with respect to such surplus note is unpaid by VIAC on its scheduled date.
We did not recognize any asset or liability as of September 30, 2020 in relation to intercompany indemnifications, guarantees or support agreements. As of September 30, 2020, no circumstances existed in which we were required to currently perform under these arrangements.
Borrowings from Subsidiaries
We maintain revolving reciprocal loan agreements with a number of our life and non-life insurance subsidiaries that are used to fund short-term cash requirements that arise in the ordinary course of business. Under these agreements, either party may borrow up to the maximum allowable under the agreement for a term not more than 270 days. For life insurance subsidiaries, the amounts that either party may borrow from the other under the agreement vary and are between 2% and 5% of the insurance subsidiary's statutory net admitted assets (excluding separate accounts) as of the previous year end depending on the state of domicile. As of September 30, 2020, the aggregate amount that may be borrowed or lent under agreements with life insurance subsidiaries was $1.9 billion. For non-life insurance subsidiaries, the maximum allowable under the agreement is based on the assets of the subsidiaries and their particular cash requirements. As of September 30, 2020, Voya Financial, Inc. had $431 million outstanding borrowings from subsidiaries and had loaned $219 million to its subsidiaries.
Ratings
Our access to funding and our related cost of borrowing, collateral requirements for derivative instruments and the attractiveness of certain of our products to customers are affected by our credit ratings and insurance financial strength ratings, which are periodically reviewed by the rating agencies. Financial strength ratings and credit ratings are important factors affecting public confidence in an insurer and its competitive position in marketing products. Credit ratings are also important to our ability to raise capital through the issuance of debt and for the cost of such financing.
A downgrade in our credit ratings or the credit or financial strength ratings of our rated subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. See Risk Factors- A downgrade or a potential downgrade in our financial strength or credit ratings could result in a loss of business and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition in Part I, Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
With respect to certain reinsurance agreements, based on the amount of reinsurance outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a two-notch downgrade of our insurance subsidiaries would have resulted in an estimated increase in our
138 |
collateral requirements by approximately $13 million, respectively. The nature of the collateral that we may be required to post is principally in the form of cash, highly rated securities or LOC.
Financial strength ratings represent the opinions of rating agencies regarding the financial ability of an insurance company to meet its obligations under an insurance policy. Credit ratings represent the opinions of rating agencies regarding an entity's ability to repay its indebtedness. These ratings are not a recommendation to buy or hold any of our securities and they may be revised or revoked at any time at the sole discretion of the rating organization.
The financial strength and credit ratings of Voya Financial, Inc. and its principal subsidiaries as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are summarized in the following table.

Rating agencies use an "outlook" statement for both industry sectors and individual companies. For an industry sector, a stable outlook generally implies that over the next 12 to 18 months the rating agency expects ratings to remain unchanged among companies in the sector. For a particular company, an outlook generally indicates a medium- or long-term trend in credit fundamentals, which if continued, may lead to a rating change. On April 1, Moody’s changed its outlook for the U.S. life insurance sector to negative from stable. In December 2019, Fitch revised its outlook on the U.S. life insurance sector to negative from stable. Subsequently, in March of 2020, Fitch revised its rating outlook for the U.S. life insurance sector to negative from stable. Also in March 2020, A.M. Best revised its outlook on the U.S. life insurance sector to negative from stable.
Restrictions on Dividends and Returns of Capital from Subsidiaries
Our business is conducted through operating subsidiaries. U.S. insurance laws and regulations regulate the payment of dividends and other distributions by our U.S. insurance subsidiaries to their respective parents. These restrictions are based in part on the prior year's statutory income and surplus. In general, dividends up to specified levels are considered ordinary and may be paid without prior approval. Dividends in larger amounts, or "extraordinary" dividends, are subjected to approval by the insurance commissioner of the state of domicile of the insurance subsidiary proposing to pay the dividend. In addition, under the insurance laws of our principal insurance subsidiaries domiciled in Connecticut and Minnesota (these insurance subsidiaries, together with our insurance subsidiary domiciled in Colorado are referred to collectively, as our "Principal Insurance Subsidiaries"), no dividend or other distribution exceeding an amount equal to an insurance company’s earned surplus may be paid without the domiciliary insurance regulator’s prior approval. Our Principal Insurance Subsidiary domiciled in Connecticut has ordinary dividend capacity for 2020. However, as a result of the extraordinary dividends it paid in 2015,

2016 and 2017, together with statutory losses incurred in connection with the recapture and cession to one of our Arizona captives of certain term life business in the fourth quarter of 2016, our Principal Insurance Subsidiary domiciled in Minnesota currently has negative earned surplus. In addition, primarily as a result of statutory losses incurred in connection with the retrocession of our Principal Insurance Subsidiary domiciled in Minnesota of certain life insurance business in the fourth quarter of 2018, our Principal Insurance Subsidiary domiciled in Colorado has a net loss from operations for the twelve-month period ending the preceding December 31. Therefore, neither our Minnesota nor Colorado Principal Insurance Subsidiaries have the capacity at this time to make ordinary dividend payments. Any extraordinary dividend payment would be subject to domiciliary insurance regulatory approval, which can be granted or withheld at the discretion of the regulator.
SLDI and RRII may not declare or pay dividends other than in accordance with their respective annual capital and dividend plans as approved by the Arizona Department of Insurance, which each include a minimum capital requirement.
We may receive dividends from or contribute capital to our wholly owned non-life insurance subsidiaries such as broker-dealers, investment management entities and intermediate holding companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have obligations for the return of non-cash collateral under an amendment to our securities lending program. Non-cash collateral received in connection with the securities lending program may not be sold or re-pledged by our lending agent, except in the event of default, and is not reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For information regarding obligations under this program, see the Investments (excluding Consolidated Investment Entities) Note in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an on-going basis based on historical developments, market conditions, industry trends and other information that is reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will conform to estimates and assumptions and that reported results of operations will not be materially affected by the need to make future accounting adjustments to reflect changes in these estimates and assumptions from time to time. The inputs into our estimates and assumptions consider the economic implications of COVID-19 on our critical and significant accounting estimates. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences may be material to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have identified the following accounting judgments and estimates as critical in that they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability:
•Estimated loss on businesses held for sale;
•Reserves for future policy benefits;
•DAC, VOBA and other intangibles (collectively, "DAC/VOBA and other intangibles");
•Valuation of investments and derivatives;
•Impairments;
•Income taxes;
•Contingencies; and
•Employee benefit plans.
In developing these accounting estimates, we make subjective and complex judgments that are inherently uncertain and subject to material changes as facts and circumstances develop. Although variability is inherent in these estimates, we believe the amounts provided are appropriate based on the facts available upon preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The above critical accounting estimates are described in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note and the Business Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Note in our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Estimated loss on businesses held for sale
On December 18, 2019, we entered into the Resolution MTA with Resolution Life US pursuant to which Resolution Life US will acquire all of the shares of the capital stock of SLD and SLDI, including the capital stock of several subsidiaries of SLD and SLDI. This transaction will result in the sale of a significant portion of of our Individual Life business as well as the fixed and variable Annuities business associated with the subsidiaries sold. We have determined that the businesses to be disposed via sale meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and the sale represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations. Accordingly, the results of operations of the businesses to be sold have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the assets and liabilities of the businesses have been classified as held for sale and segregated for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying value or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized. Transactions between the businesses held for sale and businesses in continuing operations that are expected to continue to exist after the disposal are not eliminated to appropriately reflect the continuing operations and the assets, liabilities and results of the businesses held for sale. In connection with this transaction, we recorded an estimated loss on sale, net of tax, of $1,108 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The estimated loss on sale, net of tax is based on assumptions that are subject to change due to fluctuations in market conditions and other variables that may occur prior to the closing date, which is expected to take place by January 4, 2021. We are required to remeasure the estimated fair value and loss on sale at the end of each quarter until closing of the Transaction. As such, Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes an additional estimated loss on sale, net of tax of $231 million. For additional information on the Individual Life Transaction and the related estimated loss on sale, net of tax, see Trends and Uncertainties in Part II, Item 7. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Business Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Note to our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Assumptions and Periodic Review
Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on DAC/VOBA and other intangibles balances, amortization rates, reserve levels and results of operations. Assumptions are management's best estimates of future outcome. We periodically review these assumptions against actual experience and, based on additional information that becomes available, update our assumptions. Deviation of emerging experience from our assumptions could have a significant effect on our DAC/VOBA and other intangibles, reserves and the related results of operations. During the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, we conducted our annual review of assumptions, including projection model inputs and made a number of changes to our assumptions which impacted the results of our segments included in our Net income (loss). For further information, see the Overview and the DAC/VOBA and Other Intangibles Unlocking sections of the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 2. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Sensitivity
We perform sensitivity analyses to assess the impact that certain assumptions have on DAC/VOBA and other intangibles, as well as certain reserves. The following table presents the estimated instantaneous net impact to income from continuing and discontinued operations of various assumption changes on our DAC/VOBA and other intangible balances and the impact on related reserves for future policy benefits and reinsurance. The effects are not representative of the aggregate impacts that could result if a combination of such changes to equity markets, interest rates and other assumptions occurred.

Lower assumed equity rates of return, lower assumed interest rates, increased assumed future mortality and decreased equity market values generally decrease DAC/VOBA and other intangibles and increase future policy benefits, thus decreasing income before income taxes. Higher assumed interest rates generally increase DAC/VOBA and other intangibles and decrease future policy benefits, thus increasing income before income taxes.
Impairments
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, as amended" ("ASU 2016-13"). The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for financial assets measured at amortized cost and the prospective method for available-for-sale debt securities as required by ASU 2016-13. As a result beginning January 1, 2020, the Company's accounting for impairments is as follows:
We evaluate our available-for-sale investments quarterly to determine whether there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. This evaluation process entails considerable judgment and estimation. Factors considered in this analysis include, but are not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, the issuer's financial condition and near-term prospects, future economic conditions and market forecasts, interest rate changes and changes in ratings of the security. A severe unrealized loss position on a fixed maturity may not have any impact on: (a) the ability of the issuer to service all scheduled interest and principal payments and (b) the evaluation of recoverability of all contractual cash flows or the ability to recover an amount at least equal to its amortized cost based on the present value of the expected future cash flows to be collected.
When assessing our intent to sell a security, or if it is more likely than not we will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we evaluate facts and circumstances such as, but not limited to, decisions to rebalance the investment portfolio and sales of investments to meet cash flow or capital needs.
142 |
We use the following methodology and significant inputs in determining whether a credit loss exists:
•When determining collectability and the period over which the value is expected to recover for U.S. and foreign corporate securities, foreign government securities and state and political subdivision securities, we apply the same considerations utilized in our overall impairment evaluation process, which incorporates information regarding the specific security, the industry and geographic area in which the issuer operates and overall macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using assumptions derived from our best estimates of likely scenario-based outcomes, after giving consideration to a variety of variables that includes, but is not limited to: general payment terms of the security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the scheduled interest and principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; and changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies.
•Additional considerations are made when assessing the unique features that apply to certain structured securities, such as subprime, Alt-A, non-agency RMBS, CMBS and ABS. These additional factors for structured securities include, but are not limited to: the quality of underlying collateral; expected prepayment speeds; loan-to-value ratio; debt service coverage ratios; current and forecasted loss severity; consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security; and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security.
•When determining the amount of the credit loss for U.S. and foreign corporate securities, foreign government securities and state and political subdivision securities, we consider the estimated fair value as the recovery value when available information does not indicate that another value is more appropriate. When information is identified that indicates a recovery value other than estimated fair value, we consider in the determination of recovery value the same considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process, which incorporates available information and our best estimate of scenario-based outcomes regarding the specific security and issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the security issuer operates; and the overall macroeconomic conditions.
•We perform a discounted cash flow analysis comparing the current amortized cost of a security to the present value of future cash flows expected to be received, including estimated defaults and prepayments. The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the fixed maturity prior to impairment.
Mortgage loans on real estate are all commercial mortgage loans, which are reported at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. Management estimates the credit loss allowance balance using a factor-based method of probability of default and loss given default which incorporates relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Included in the factor-based method are the consideration of debt type, capital market factors, and market vacancy rates, and loan-specific risk characteristics such as debt service coverage ratios (“DSCR”), loan-to-value (“LTV”), collateral size, seniority of the loan, segmentation, and property types. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. For those mortgages that are determined to require foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure.
Impairment analysis of the investment portfolio involves considerable judgment, is subject to considerable variability, is established using management's best estimate and is revised as additional information becomes available. As such, changes in, or deviations from, the assumptions used in such analysis can have a significant effect on the results of operations.
For additional information regarding the evaluation process for impairments, see the Investments (excluding Consolidated Investment Entities) Note in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes
We use the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing our interim tax provision. Certain items, including changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets and changes in liabilities for uncertain tax positions, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate and the actual tax expense or benefit is reported in the period the related item is incurred.
See the Income Taxes Note to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Investments (excluding Consolidated Investment Entities)
Investments for our general account are managed by our wholly owned asset manager, Voya Investment Management LLC, pursuant to investment advisory agreements with affiliates. In addition, our internal treasury group manages our holding company liquidity investments, primarily money market funds.

Fixed maturities rated BB and below may have speculative characteristics and changes in economic conditions or other circumstances that are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the issuer to make principal and interest payments than is the case with higher rated fixed maturities.

To the extent that issuers of these securities suffer economic distress, impairments among our portfolio assets may increase, perhaps significantly, which would reduce the carrying value of these assets for statutory purposes and decrease our admitted statutory capital. Such distress, or a further general deterioration in credit markets, could also result in ratings downgrades across our portfolio, which would require our insurance subsidiaries to hold additional amounts of risk-based capital. In both cases, the amount of our excess capital above our targets would decline, and if the reductions were significant enough, we might be required to use available sources of liquidity to fund additional statutory capital requirements.
In April 2020, we first analyzed the potential impact of two hypothetical stress scenarios on our excess capital levels out through the second quarter 2021. “Stress Case One” was determined to reduce our excess capital levels by approximately $300 million. “Stress Case Two”, a more severe hypothetical stress scenario, would reduce our excess capital levels by approximately $600 million. Based on a review of those scenarios and credit events through third quarter, including certain downgrades in our securities portfolio in the second and third quarters of 2020, we have revised our hypothetical stress cases to $300 million for “Stress Case One” and $450 million for “Stress Case Two”. In addition, the timeframe was extended out through the end of 2021. To date, results are generally consistent with “Stress Case One”. Although we believe that these scenarios reflect the range of adverse conditions that we might reasonably experience due to COVID-19, it is possible the outcomes are worse, perhaps materially so. The effects on our capital in such scenarios reflect only the impact from impairments or ratings downgrades on our asset portfolio, and not from declines in our earnings (including from increased claims) that might also result from COVID-19.
Unrealized Capital Losses
Gross unrealized capital losses on fixed maturities, including securities pledged, increased $180 million from $91 million to $271 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. A modest steepening of the yield curve, that included higher
149 |
interest rates in the long-end, increased unrealized losses on a small portion of the portfolio. Tighter spreads on the quarter and historically low interest rates continue to limit the overall amount of unrealized losses. As a result of the uncertainty related to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, spreads on all risk assets widened substantially through late March only to recover much of that weakness during the second quarter, with modest improvement in the third quarter. Risk-free rates rallied on this uncertainty and remained at these low levels despite the stabilization in market conditions and sentiment. The combination of these two factors resulted in a $146 million reduction in the gross unrealized loss during the quarter. See “-Overview - Trends and Uncertainties in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we held two and one fixed maturities with unrealized capital losses in excess of $10 million. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the unrealized capital losses on these fixed maturities equaled $33 million or 12.2% and $13 million or 14.2% of the total unrealized losses, respectively.
As of September 30, 2020, we held $2.9 billion of energy sector fixed maturity securities, constituting 6.3% of the total fixed maturities portfolio, with gross unrealized capital losses of $51 million, including one energy sector fixed maturity security with unrealized capital losses in excess of $10 million. The unrealized capital losses on these fixed maturity securities equaled $20 million. As of September 30, 2020, our fixed maturity exposure to the energy sector is comprised of 86.5% investment grade securities.
As of December 31, 2019, we held $3.2 billion of energy sector fixed maturity securities, constituting 7.2% of the total fixed maturities portfolio, with gross unrealized capital losses of $27 million, including one energy sector fixed maturity security with unrealized capital losses in excess of $10 million. The unrealized capital losses on this fixed maturity security equaled $13 million. As of December 31, 2019, our fixed maturity exposure to the energy sector is comprised of 91.1% investment grade securities.
See the Investments (excluding Consolidated Investment Entities) Note in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on unrealized capital losses.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the market value of our CMO-B portfolio increased primarily due to new purchase activity exceeding paydowns and maturities. Valuation of the securities within our CMO-B portfolio have remained stable and the strategy continues to generate positive relative performance. Yields within the CMO-B portfolio continue to decline as fair value asset yields reset lower and higher yielding historical CMO-B assets paydown or mature and are replaced with lower yielding new assets.

In defining the Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes for our CMO-B portfolio, certain recharacterizations are recognized. The net coupon settlement on interest rate swaps hedging CMO-B securities that is included in Net realized capital gains (losses) is reflected as Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes in the table below. In addition, the premium amortization and change in fair value for securities designated under the FVO are included in Net realized capital gains (losses), whereas the coupon for these securities is included in Net investment income. In order to present the economics of these fair value securities in a similar manner to those of an available for sale security, the premium amortization is reclassified from Net realized capital gains (losses).
After adjusting for the two items referenced immediately above, the following table presents a reconciliation of Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes from our CMO-B portfolio to Adjusted operating earnings before income taxes from our CMO-B portfolio for the periods indicated:

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate
We rate commercial mortgages to quantify the level of risk. We place those loans with higher risk on a watch list and closely monitor these loans for collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential loss of principal and/or interest.Due to the adoption of ASU 2016-13 which is effective January 1, 2020, the allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Management estimates the credit loss allowance balance using a factor-based method of probability of default and loss given default which incorporates relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Included in the factor-based method are the consideration of debt type, capital market factors, and market vacancy rates, and loan-specific risk characteristics such as debt service coverage ratios (“DSCR”), loan-to-value (“LTV”), collateral size, seniority of the loan, segmentation, and property types.
Loans are written off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously written-off and expected to be written-off. For those mortgages that are determined to require foreclosure, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure. As of September 30, 2020, there were two commercial mortgage loans with a pre and post carrying value of $9 and $6, respectively for which repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The collateral is Office/Retail space and Hotel. The expected credit loss was based on the fair value of the underlying collateral and there was a subsequent write off against the allowance of $3.
154 |
Loan-to-value ("LTV") and debt service coverage ("DSC") ratios are measures commonly used to assess the risk and quality of commercial mortgage loans. The LTV ratio, calculated at time of origination, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. An LTV ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the value of the underlying collateral. The DSC ratio, based upon the most recently received financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of a property's Net income (loss) to its debt service payments. A DSC ratio of less than 1.0 indicates that property's operations do not generate sufficient income to cover debt payments. These ratios are utilized as part of the review process described above.
As of September 30, 2020, our mortgage loans on real estate portfolio had a weighted average DSC of 2.2 times and a weighted average LTV ratio of 45.1%. As of December 31, 2019, our mortgage loans on real estate portfolio had a weighted average DSC of 2.3 times, and a weighted average LTV ratio of 61.5%. While still heavily impacted by COVID-19, the Commercial Mortgage Loan portfolio allowance decreased by $19 during the quarter as certain sectors of the economy resumed operations, albeit at lower than pre-pandemic levels. We continue to observe distress in the hotel sector. See the Investments (excluding Consolidated Investment Entities) Note to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on mortgage loans on real estate.
To provide temporary financial assistance to our commercial mortgage loan borrowers adversely affected by COVID-19 related stress, the Company has provided payment forbearance to approximately 8% of the outstanding principal amount of our commercial mortgage loans. Deferred payment amounts are expected to be repaid across the 12 months following the end of the agreed upon forbearance period. No modifications to any commercial mortgage loans have been made as of the issuance date of this filing.
Impairments
We evaluate available-for-sale fixed maturities for impairment on a regular basis. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on a case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in estimated fair value. See the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the policy used to evaluate whether the investments are impaired.
See the Investments (excluding Consolidated Investment Entities) Note to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on impairment.
Derivatives
We use derivatives for a variety of hedging purposes. We also have embedded derivatives within fixed maturities instruments and certain product features. See the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note in our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
European Exposures
We quantify and allocate our exposure to the region by attempting to identify aspects of the region or country risk to which we are exposed. Among the factors we consider are the nationality of the issuer, the nationality of the issuer's ultimate parent, the corporate and economic relationship between the issuer and its parent, as well as the political, legal and economic environment in which each functions. By undertaking this assessment, we believe that we develop a more accurate assessment of the actual geographic risk, with a more integrated understanding of contributing factors to the full risk profile of the issuer.
In the normal course of our ongoing risk and portfolio management process, we closely monitor compliance with a credit limit hierarchy designed to minimize overly concentrated risk exposures by geography, sector and issuer. This framework takes into account various factors such as internal and external ratings, capital efficiency and liquidity and is overseen by a combination of Investment and Corporate Risk Management, as well as insurance portfolio managers focused specifically on managing the investment risk embedded in our portfolio.
As of September 30, 2020, our total European exposure had an amortized cost and fair value of $4,074 million and $4,525 million, respectively. European exposure with a primary focus on Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain (which we refer to as "peripheral Europe") amounts to $500 million, which includes non-financial institutions exposure in Ireland of $174 million, in Italy of $146 million, and in Spain of $137 million. We also had financial institutions exposure in Ireland of zero million, in Italy of $10 million and in Spain of $33 million. We did not have any exposure to Portugal or Greece.
155 |
Among the remaining $4,025 million of total non-peripheral European exposure, we had a portfolio of credit-related assets similarly diversified by country and sector across developed and developing Europe. As of September 30, 2020, our non-peripheral sovereign exposure was $149 million, which consisted of fixed maturities and derivative assets. We also had $668 million in net exposure to non-peripheral financial institutions, with a concentration in Switzerland of $131 million and the United Kingdom of $324 million. The balance of $3,208 million was invested across non-peripheral, non-financial institutions.
Some of the major country level exposures were in the United Kingdom of $2,062 million, in The Netherlands of $366 million, in Belgium of $231 million, in France of $379 million, in Germany of $221 million, in Switzerland of $307 million, and in Russia of $76 million. We believe the primary risk results from market value fluctuations resulting from spread volatility and the secondary risk is default risk, dependent upon the strength of continued recovery of economic conditions in Europe.
Consolidated Investment Entities
We provide investment management services to, and have transactions with, various collateralized loan obligations ("CLO entities"), private equity funds, hedge funds, registered investment companies, insurance entities, securitizations and other investment entities in the normal course of business. In certain instances, we serve as the investment manager, making day-to-day investment decisions concerning the assets of these entities. These entities are considered to be either variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest entities ("VOEs"), and we evaluate our involvement with each entity to determine whether consolidation is required.
Certain investment entities are consolidated under consolidation guidance. We consolidate certain entities under the VIE guidance when it is determined that we are the primary beneficiary. We consolidate certain entities under the VOE guidance when we act as the controlling general partner and the limited partners have no substantive rights to impact ongoing governance and operating activities of the entity, or when we otherwise have control through voting rights. See Consolidation and Noncontrolling Interests in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We have no right to the benefits from, nor do we bear the risks associated with these investments beyond our direct debt or equity investments in and management fees generated from these entities. Such direct investments amounted to approximately $254 and $279 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. If we were to liquidate, the assets held by consolidated investment entities would not be available to our general creditors as a result of the liquidation.
Fair Value Measurement
Upon consolidation of CLO entities, we elected to apply the FVO for financial assets and financial liabilities held by these entities and have continued to measure these assets (primarily corporate loans) and liabilities (debt obligations issued by CLO entities) at fair value in subsequent periods. We have elected the FVO to more closely align the accounting with the economics of the transactions and allow us to more effectively reflect changes in the fair value of CLO assets with a commensurate change in the fair value of CLO liabilities.
Investments held by consolidated private equity funds and hedge funds are reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes in the fair value of consolidated investment entities are recorded as a separate line item within Income (loss) related to consolidated investment entities in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The methodology for measuring the fair value and fair value hierarchy classification of financial assets and liabilities of consolidated investment entities is consistent with the methodology and fair value hierarchy rules that we apply to our investment portfolio. See Fair Value Measurement in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Note to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Nonconsolidated VIEs
We also hold variable interests in certain CLO entities that we do not consolidate because we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary. With these CLO entities, we serve as the investment manager and receive investment management fees and contingent performance fees. Generally, we do not hold any interest in the nonconsolidated CLO entities, but if we do, such ownership has been deemed to be insignificant. We have not provided and are not obligated to provide any financial or other support to these entities.
156 |
We manage or hold investments in certain private equity funds and hedge funds. With these entities, we serve as the investment manager and are entitled to receive investment management fees and contingent performance fees that are generally expected to be insignificant. Although we have the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the economic performance of the funds, we do not hold a significant variable interest in any of these funds and, as such, do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. Accordingly, we are not considered the primary beneficiary and did not consolidate any of these investment funds.
In addition, we do not consolidate funds in which our involvement takes the form of a limited partner interest and is restricted to a role of a passive investor, as a limited partner's interest does not provide us with any substantive kick-out or participating rights, which would overcome the presumption of control by the general partner. See the Consolidated Investment Entities Note to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
Securitizations
We invest in various tranches of securitization entities, including RMBS, CMBS and ABS. Through our investments, we are not obligated to provide any financial or other support to these entities. Each of the RMBS, CMBS and ABS entities are thinly capitalized by design and considered VIEs. Our involvement with these entities is limited to that of a passive investor. We have no unilateral right to appoint or remove the servicer, special servicer or investment manager, which are generally viewed to have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the securitization entities' economic performance, in any of these entities, nor do we function in any of these roles. We, through our investments or other arrangements, do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. Therefore, we are not the primary beneficiary and do not consolidate any of the RMBS, CMBS and ABS entities in which we hold investments. These investments are accounted for as investments available-for-sale as described in the Fair Value Measurements (excluding Consolidated Investment Entities) Note to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in AOCI, except for certain RMBS which are accounted for under the FVO whose change in fair value is reflected in Other net realized gains (losses) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our maximum exposure to loss on these structured investments is limited to the amount of our investment. Refer to the Investments (excluding Consolidated Investment Entities) Note to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for details regarding the carrying amounts and classifications of these assets.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that our consolidated financial position and results of operations will be affected by fluctuations in the value of financial instruments. We have significant holdings in financial instruments and are naturally exposed to a variety of market risks. The main market risks we are exposed to include interest rate risk, equity market price risk and credit risk. We do not have material market risk exposure to "trading" activities in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For further details on these market risks, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Part II, Item 7A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Market Risk Related to Interest Rates
We assess interest rate exposures for financial assets, liabilities and derivatives using hypothetical test scenarios that assume either increasing or decreasing 100 basis point parallel shifts in the yield curve. The following table summarizes the net estimated potential change in fair value within our continuing operations from hypothetical 100 basis point upward and downward shifts in interest rates as of September 30, 2020. In calculating these amounts, we exclude gains and losses on separate account fixed income securities related to products for which the investment risk is borne primarily by the separate account contract holder rather than by us. While the test scenarios are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect our expectations regarding future interest rates or the performance of fixed-income markets, they are a near-term, reasonably possible hypothetical change that illustrates the potential impact of such events. These tests do not measure the change in value that could result from non-parallel shifts in the yield curve. As a result, the actual change in fair value from a 100 basis point change in interest rates could be different from that indicated by these calculations.

Market Risk Related to Equity Market Prices
We assess equity risk exposures for financial assets, liabilities and derivatives using hypothetical test scenarios that assume either an increase or decrease of 10% in all equity market benchmark levels. The following table summarizes the net estimated potential change in fair value from an instantaneous increase and decrease in all equity market benchmark levels of 10% as of September 30, 2020. In calculating these amounts, we exclude gains and losses on separate account equity securities related to products for which the investment risk is borne primarily by the separate account contract holder rather than by us. While the test scenarios are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect our expectations regarding the future performance of equity markets, they are near-term, reasonably possible hypothetical changes that illustrate the potential impact of such events. These scenarios consider only the direct effect on fair value of declines in equity benchmark market levels and not changes in asset-based fees recognized as revenue, changes in our estimates of total gross profits used as a basis for amortizing DAC/VOBA, other intangibles and other costs, or changes in any other assumptions such as market volatility or mortality, utilization or persistency rates in variable contracts that could also impact the fair value of our living benefits features. In addition, these scenarios do not reflect the effect of basis risk, such as potential differences in the performance of the investment funds underlying the variable annuity products relative to the equity market benchmark we use as a basis for developing our hedging strategy. The impact of basis risk could result in larger differences between the change in fair value of the equity-based derivatives and the related living benefit features, in comparison to the hypothetical test scenarios.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic SEC filings is made known to them in a timely manner.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the third quarter of 2020, we implemented a new accounting and financial reporting platform, including a new general ledger system. This new system will standardize processes, improve the efficiency of our operations and further strengthen internal controls over financial reporting. As such, we modified our internal controls over financial reporting to align with the new processes and system.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See the Commitments and Contingencies Note in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
For a discussion of the Company’s potential risks and uncertainties, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item IA. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K") (File No. 001-35897) filed with the SEC and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Trends and Uncertainties in Part I, Item 2. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is likely to continue to have, adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.
Many businesses around the world, including ours, have been significantly affected by the global outbreak of COVID-19 disease. Since March 2020, when the disease first became widespread, global financial markets have experienced periods of extreme volatility. These market events, which include a significant drop in equity prices in the early spring followed by a recovery in the second and third quarters, declines in U.S. Treasury yields and distress in certain credit market sectors such as energy, real estate, transportation and retail, adversely affected our first, second and third quarter 2020 financial results and are likely to continue to have adverse effects on our business for the foreseeable future. These future adverse effects, which could be material, may include:
•Increased impairments or credit rating downgrades within our general account portfolio, which could consume our excess capital and reduce the dividend capacity of our insurance subsidiaries. Although we currently believe that we have adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future, if our asset portfolio were to experience a material amount of impairments or ratings downgrades, we might require additional statutory capital within our insurance subsidiaries and would need to consider additional steps to preserve liquidity at our holding company, including reducing or eliminating planned share buybacks or our common stock dividend;
•Reductions in the carrying value of our deferred tax assets as a result of a need to establish an additional valuation allowance against such assets, which would decrease GAAP equity and increase our leverage ratios, and could also affect the statutory surplus of our insurance subsidiaries if there is a reduction in the statutory carrying value of our deferred tax asset admitted for statutory purposes;
•Declines in fee revenues from lower AUM/AUA and plan participant counts, as a result of increased unemployment and furloughs, lower asset prices, suspensions or reductions in participant plan deposits or employer matching contributions, and an increase in plan loans and withdrawals;
• Reduced premium revenues in our Employee Benefits business due to increased unemployment;
•Decreased spread-based revenues due to lower interest rates;
•Material harm to the financial condition of our reinsurers, which would increase the probability of default on reinsurance recoveries;
•A decline in fund management carried interests and performance fees in our Investment Management business; and
•Reduced sales levels due to decreased RFP activity or delayed decision making by our clients or prospective clients.
In addition, underwriting income in our Employee Benefits and Individual Life businesses (with respect to the latter, until we close our divestment of that business) will be adversely affected to the extent that mortality claims for individual or group life policies, or medical expense claims under voluntary benefit or stop loss policies, exceed the related reserves and deductibles. Accordingly, to the extent that COVID-19 leads to a material increase in overall mortality or medical expense among our insured population, our financial results will be adversely affected, and those effects could be material.
We have also faced, and are likely to continue to face, disruption of our normal business operations, including the ability to interact with existing or potential clients. While many states have lifted their most severe restrictions requiring mandatory
160 |
business shutdowns and stay-at-home orders, the resurgence and persistence of new infections in many U.S. states has slowed the reopening of the U.S. economy and some U.S. states have or are considering the reimposition of shutdowns or stay-at-home orders in an attempt to slow the spread of infections. Although our business has been deemed an essential service in most or all jurisdictions in which we operate, the vast majority of our employees have been working from home since March 2020. While our work from home arrangements have not created any significant problems, if such problems were to arise in the future, such that significant portions of our workforce are unable to work remotely in an effective manner, the impact of COVID-19 on our business could be exacerbated.
In addition, our business process and IT operations depend to a significant extent on outsourcing providers and a joint venture based in India, which has reimposed lockdowns in several cities across India as they experience resurgences of COVID-19 cases. Although our joint venture operations did not experience any notable disruptions from a transition to work-from-home, several of our outsourcing providers have experienced difficulty in moving their employee bases to a work-from-home arrangement. While these difficulties have not yet materially interfered with our business operations, there is a risk of future disruptions, particularly if the Indian lockdowns persist for an extended period of time.
The transition to work-from-home also increases vulnerabilities to cybersecurity threats and other fraudulent activities. Although we are remaining vigilant on this issue and have not experienced any significant incidents, we are expending a substantial amount of resources to defend against potential attacks, which may occur while in this state of heightened risk.
The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to negatively affect our business operations, potentially in a material manner, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, macroeconomic conditions, the continued effectiveness of our business continuity plan (including work-from-home arrangements and staffing in operational facilities), the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our employees, clients, counterparties and service providers, as well as other market participants, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, there was an increase of 30,315 Treasury shares in connection with such withholding activities.
(2) On October 31, 2019, the Board of Directors provided share repurchase authorization, increasing the aggregate of the Company's stock authorized for repurchase by $800. The additional share repurchase authorization expires on December 31, 2020 (unless extended) and does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors at any time.
Item 5. Other Information
On November 1, 2019, we amended and restated the terms of our Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), dated as of May 6, 2016 (and filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-35897) filed on May 6, 2016), by entering into a Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
161 |
The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement modifies several of the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement including extending the term of the agreement to November 1, 2024, and reducing the total borrowing capacity to $500 million.
Availability
Under the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, an aggregate amount of up to $500 million is available for revolving loan borrowings and issuances of letters of credit ("LOCs").
Repayment
The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures on November 1, 2024, and any direct borrowing amount still outstanding will be due in full immediately on that date and any letter of credit obligation still outstanding as of that date must be cash collateralized until no such obligations are outstanding. The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be pre-paid at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, subject to breakage fees in the event of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan other than at the end of the applicable interest period. In most circumstances, amounts repaid or prepaid (whether voluntary or otherwise) may be re-borrowed, subject to certain conditions precedent to borrowing. The unutilized portion of any commitment under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be reduced or terminated by us at any time without penalty. As of November 6, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding as revolving credit borrowings or for LOCs outstanding under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Interest Rates and Fees
Each Eurodollar Rate Loan under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bears interest on the outstanding principal amount owing at a rate equal to LIBOR (which cannot be less than zero) plus the applicable rate described below.
