Strategy

Aegon is an international financial services holding company. Aegon's ambition is to build leading businesses that offer their customers investment, protection, and retirement solutions. Aegon's portfolio of businesses includes fully owned businesses in the United States and United Kingdom, and a global asset manager. Aegon also creates value by combining its international expertise with strong local partners via insurance joint ventures in Spain & Portugal, China, and Brazil, and via asset management partnerships in France and China. In addition, Aegon owns a Bermuda-based life insurer and generates value via a strategic shareholding in a market leading Dutch insurance and pensions company. Aegon is taking significant steps to improve its performance and to create sustainable value for all of its stakeholders.

Aegon's businesses in the US have been divided into Financial Assets and Strategic Assets. The aim is to reduce Aegon's exposure to Financial Assets and improve the predictability of capital generation from these assets. Aegon intends to, over time, reallocate capital from Financial Assets to growth opportunities in Strategic Assets, partnerships, and the global asset manager. Exposure to businesses outside of Aegon's core focus has been largely eliminated over recent years, most recently with the divestment of the business in India, which was completed on February 23, 2024.

Throughout its transformation, Aegon aims to maintain a solid capital position in its business units and at the Holding. Through proactive risk management actions, Aegon is improving its risk profile and reducing the volatility of its capital ratios. This is underscored by Aegon's capital strength.

The next chapter in Aegon's strategy is expected to lead to operating capital generation from its units of around EUR 1.2 billion, and of free cash flow of around EUR 800 million by 2025. Aegon aims to grow its dividend per share to around EUR 0.40 over 2025, barring unforeseen circumstances and subject to the necessary approvals. Gross financial leverage is expected to remain at around EUR 5 billion.

Transaction with a.s.r.

On July 4, 2023, Aegon announced the completion of the combination of its Dutch pension, life and non-life insurance, banking, and mortgage origination activities with a.s.r., and the beginning of its asset management partnership with a.s.r. As part of the transaction, Aegon received EUR 2.2 billion in cash proceeds and a 29.99% strategic shareholding in a.s.r. The associated EUR 1.535 billion share buyback program was completed on June 28, 2024.

2024 UK webinar

On June 25, 2024, Aegon hosted a webinar to present its plans to accelerate the transformation of Aegon UK into a leading digital savings and retirement platform. The webinar focused on the interconnected business model of Aegon UK with three growth franchises: the Workplace platform, the Adviser platform (formerly known as Retail), and the Advice franchise.

Transamerica – Aegon's business in the United States – has a long and proud history of making financial services available to the many, not just the few. The company aims to accelerate its growth and become America's leading middle market life insurance and retirement company. Since the beginning of this year, we have grouped Transamerica's Strategic Assets into three business segments: Distribution, Savings & Investments and Protection Solutions. The results of Financial Assets are presented as a fourth segment. Non-insurance businesses are reflected in Distribution and Savings & Investments while Protection Solutions and Financial Assets contain the insurance businesses.

During the first half of 2024, Strategic Assets have experienced strong business growth while we continue to implement management actions to reduce the exposure to Financial Assets, consistent with Aegon's strategy.

Strategic Assets business update: Distribution

Transamerica's Distribution business segment consists of World Financial Group (WFG), its wholly owned life insurance agency, and Transamerica Financial Advisors. Transamerica's ambition is to increase the number of WFG agents to 110,000 by 2027, while at the same time improving agent productivity.

At the end of the first half of 2024, WFG had 78,978 licensed agents. This is an increase of 13% compared with the same period in 2023 and was a result of the successful training of new recruits to become licensed agents. Over the same period, the number of multi-ticket agents – those selling more than one life policy per 12 months – increased by 9% to 37,476 agents. Transamerica's market share in the WFG distribution channel in the US amounted to 64% for life products in the first half of 2024 and remained consistent with the level observed throughout 2023, building on the service experience for WFG agents and products tailored to the US middle market.

Strategic Assets business update: Savings & Investments

Transamerica's Savings & Investments business segment includes Retirement Plans, Mutual Funds, and Stable Value Solutions. The growth focus lies in recordkeeping and investment services for US defined contribution plans and individual retirement accounts (IRAs), as well as advice to plan participants. The Retirement Plan business aims to increase profitability by growing assets in the General Account Stable Value and IRA propositions, focusing on mid-sized and pooled plans, and delivering managed advice and other ancillary products and services.

Net deposits

Retirement Plans net outflows of USD 0.8 billion in the first half of 2024 were 19% lower compared with the same period of the prior year. Net deposits for mid-sized plans increased to USD 1.2 billion in the reporting period, compared with net deposits of USD 1.0 billion in the first half of 2023. This was driven by higher gross deposits for mid-sized plans benefiting from the large pooled plan sale of USD 1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2023 which led to deposits in the current reporting period. This more than offset higher withdrawals. Large-market plans recorded net outflows of USD 2.6 billion, a similar amount compared with the first half of the prior year, as higher gross deposits in large-market plans were more than offset by outflows from contract discontinuances and higher participant withdrawals. Part of the eligible participant withdrawals were rolled over to IRAs in an effort to consolidate assets and retain customers, which generated USD 0.6 billion of net deposits during the reporting period.

Net outflows for Mutual Funds amounted to USD 1.2 billion in the first half of 2024, compared with USD 0.2 billion in the same period of 2023. This mainly reflected gross deposits decreasing by USD 0.8 billion compared with the prior year period as investors prefer cash and shorter term investment alternatives in the current interest rate environment. Redemptions increased compared with the same period of 2023.

Account balances

Account balances in Retirement Plans increased to USD 229 billion at the end of the first half of 2024, up from USD 206 billion at the end of the first half of 2023. Mid-sized plans accounted for USD 52 billion of the total account balances in Retirement Plans at the end of the reporting period, compared with USD 45 billion at the end of the first half of 2023.

Transamerica aims to grow and diversify revenue streams by expanding both the General Account Stable Value product and IRAs to USD 16 billion and USD 18 billion of assets under management, respectively, by 2027. Assets under management in the General Account Stable Value product increased by 6% compared with the end of June 2023 to USD 11.4 billion as of June 30, 2024. IRA account balances increased by 19% compared with the end of June 2023 to USD 11.3 billion as of June 30, 2024, driven by efforts to retain assets from retirement plans, additional customer deposits, and favorable equity markets over the past year.

Strategic Assets business update: Protection Solutions

Transamerica's Protection Solutions business segment includes insurance businesses covering Individual Life, Individual Health, Workplace Life, Workplace Health, and Indexed Annuities lines of business. The Indexed Annuities line of business includes registered index linked annuities (RILA) and fixed indexed annuities (FIA). Transamerica is investing in its product manufacturing capabilities and operating model to position its Protection Solutions business for further growth in the US middle market, with distribution through both WFG and third parties.

New life sales

Transamerica targets around USD 750 million of annual new life sales in Individual Life by 2027. In the first half-year of 2024, Individual Life generated new life sales of USD 245 million, an increase of 5% compared with the prior year period supported by all distribution channels. WFG represented 71% of total Individual Life sales in this half-year. The increase in sales was driven by the indexed universal life product line, which is the main Transamerica product marketed by WFG, partially offset by lower traditional life sales driven by competitive pressures in the term life market.

Workplace Life reported new life sales of USD 40 million compared with USD 43 million in the first half-year of 2023; the latter included the sale of a large contract.

Net deposits Indexed Annuities

Net deposits for Indexed Annuities products amounted to USD 505 million in the first half-year of 2024. Of that total, RILA products contributed net deposits of USD 531 million in the first half of 2024, compared with USD 197 million in the same period of 2023. This was driven by enhanced wholesale distribution capacity and improved sales productivity for this product.

New premium production Workplace Health

In the first half of 2024, new premium production for Workplace Health insurance amounted to USD 67 million, an increase of 10% compared with the same period of 2023, driven by a new large voluntary benefits contract.

Update on Financial Assets

Financial Assets are blocks of business that are capital intensive with relatively low returns on the capital employed. Transamerica is actively managing variable annuities with interest rate sensitive riders, fixed annuities including Single Premium Group Annuities (SPGAs), the legacy universal life book, and long-term care portfolios as Financial Assets.

Transamerica is taking in-force management actions on Financial Assets that are expected to reduce the capital employed by USD 1.2 billion, which, in addition to the assumed organic run-off, would lead to having USD 2.2 billion of capital employed by yearend 2027. On June 30, 2024, Financial Assets had USD 3.5 billion of capital employed, a decrease of USD 0.6 billion compared with December 31, 2022, which is the reference date for this target. The decrease was mainly driven by favorable market impacts in the variable annuities portfolio, the earlier expansion of the dynamic hedging program for the Variable Annuities guaranteed benefits to include the lapse and mortality margins, as well as the reinsurance of a universal life portfolio.

Universal Life

The legacy Universal Life portfolio includes universal life policies with and without secondary guarantees, as well as a portfolio reinsured from Transamerica Life Bermuda. Transamerica is currently executing a management action to purchase institutionally owned universal life policies to reduce the mortality risk of the overall portfolio. By 2027, Transamerica aims to have purchased 40% of the USD 7 billion face value of institutionally owned universal life policies that were in-force at the end of 2021. By the end of the first halfyear of 2024, the company had purchased 36% of the face value of institutionally owned universal life policies focusing on older age policies with large face amounts.

Long-Term Care

Transamerica is actively managing its long-term care business, primarily through premium rate increase programs. The company continues to work with state regulators to get pending and future actuarially justified rate increases approved. At its 2023 Capital Markets Day, Aegon announced its intention to achieve an additional net present value of USD 700 million of premium rate increases. The total value of premium rate increases approved by the states achieved since the beginning of 2023 amounts to USD 395 million, which is 56% of the target. Claims experience continues to track well with assumptions, with the actual-to-expected claim ratio being mildly unfavorable at 103% in the first half of 2024. IFRS liabilities capture the best-estimate view on both future claims, future premiums and related anticipated rate increases.

Variable Annuities

The portfolio of variable annuities with significant interest sensitive riders is a legacy block that will run off over time, and that has been de-risked by dynamically hedging the market risk associated with guaranteed benefit riders, including the statutory lapse and mortality margins. In the first half of 2024, the hedge program was 99% effective, continuing its strong track record of managing the financial market risks embedded in the guarantees.

Net outflows in Variable Annuities amounted to USD 3.1 billion in the first half-year of 2024, compared with USD 2.4 billion in the same period last year, in line with expectations for this Financial Asset. Gross deposits in Variable Annuities increased by 25% to USD 0.7 billion in the first half of 2024, mainly from growing sales in a variable annuity product with limited guarantees. This was more than offset by higher surrenders, which are in line with long-term best estimates.

Fixed Annuities

The Fixed Annuities portfolio is a Financial Asset that will run off relatively quickly over time. Net outflows in the run-off Fixed Annuities book amounted to USD 377 million in the first half of 2024, compared with net outflows of USD 405 million in the same period of last year. Surrender and withdrawal rates for Fixed Annuities increased in the reporting period, but remained in line with long-term best estimates. In addition, a portfolio of Single Premium Guaranteed Annuities (SPGAs) is managed as a Financial Asset and had net outflows of USD 116 million in the first half-year of 2024, which was about the same compared with the prior year reporting period.

Net deposits

Net deposits in the Workplace platform amounted to GBP 1.7 billion in the first half of 2024, compared with net deposits of GBP 1.5 billion in the same period of 2023. The increase was driven by continued elevated levels of inflows due to the onboarding of new schemes and higher net deposits on existing schemes. For the Adviser platform, net outflows amounted to GBP 1.8 billion in the first half of 2024 compared with net outflows of GBP 1.1 billion in the prior year period. This reflects a continued reduction of customer activity due to the current macroeconomic environment, and increasing consolidation and vertical integration in non-target adviser segments.

Net outflows in Traditional products amounted to GBP 0.8 billion compared with net outflows of GBP 0.5 billion in the same period of 2023, as this book gradually runs off. For the Institutional business, net deposits amounted to GBP 1.2 billion in the first half of 2024, compared with GBP 3.0 billion in the same period of 2023. This decrease was due to the prior year period benefiting from the onboarding of a large client. The Institutional business is low-margin and net deposits for this business can be lumpy.

Assets under administration

Total Platform Assets under Administration (AuA) consisting of the Workplace platform and the Adviser platform, increased by 11% compared with June 30, 2023, to GBP 111 billion. During the same period, overall AuA, which also includes Traditional products and the Institutional business, increased by 11% to GBP 216 billion.

Net deposits in Strategic Partnerships amounted to EUR 2.7 billion in the first half of 2024, compared with net outflows of EUR 0.6 billion in the same period last year, and were driven by Aegon's Chinese asset management joint venture, Aegon Industrial Fund Management Company (AIFMC). The increase in net deposits was mostly driven by money market funds, in part due to a new collaboration with a consumer finance platform. La Banque Postale AM also recorded positive net deposits, despite the impact of continued withdrawals of low-margin business from a former shareholder. Net deposits in Strategic Partnerships amounted to EUR 2.7 billion in the first half of 2024, compared with net outflows of EUR 0.6 billion in the same period last year, and were driven by Aegon's Chinese asset management joint venture, Aegon Industrial Fund Management Company (AIFMC). The increase in net deposits was mostly driven by money market funds, in part due to a new collaboration with a consumer finance platform. La Banque Postale AM also recorded positive net deposits, despite the impact of continued withdrawals of low-margin business from a former shareholder.

Net outflows from the general account amounted to EUR 1.7 billion in the first half of 2024, compared with net outflows of EUR 0.7 billion in the prior year period. The increase in net outflows were driven by money market funds.

Net outflows from affiliates amounted to EUR 1.4 billion in the first half of 2024, compared with net outflows of EUR 0.5 billion in the same period of 2023. The increase in net outflows was mainly due to the onboarding of a large new client in the US in the comparable period last year.

Annualized revenues gained / (lost) on net deposits

Annualized revenues gained on net deposits for Global Platforms amounted to EUR 4.0 million in the first half of 2024, driven by net deposits.

Assets under management

Assets under management increased by EUR 25 billion compared with June 30, 2023, to EUR 318 billion. The increase was driven by the impact of favorable markets, the positive balance of assets exchanged between Aegon AM and a.s.r., and third-party net deposits.

Capital ratios

US RBC ratio

The estimated RBC ratio in the US increased from 432% on December 31, 2023 to 446% on June 30, 2024, remaining above the operating level of 400%. During the first half of 2024, market movements had a 11%-point positive impact on the RBC ratio, mainly driven by higher interest rates and favorable equity markets, as well as favorable recoveries of impaired credit instruments. One-time items and management actions had a positive impact of 5%-points, whereby the annual actuarial assumption and modelling updates, changes to diversification factors, and restructuring charges combined for a favorable impact. Operating capital generation from operating entities applying the RBC framework had a positive contribution of 16%-points to the RBC ratio, which was offset by remittances to the Holding.

UK SE Solvency II ratio

The estimated UK Solvency II ratio for Scottish Equitable Plc increased from 187% on December 31, 2023, to 189% on June 30, 2024, and remained above the operating level of 150%. A positive impact from operating capital generation was largely offset by the impact from remittances.

Group solvency ratio

The estimated group solvency ratio decreased from 193% on December 31, 2023, to 190% on June 30, 2024. This was mainly a reflection of the redemption of EUR 700 million grandfathered Tier 2 securities in April 2024, the new EUR 200 million share buyback program, the announced 2024 interim dividend, and the previously announced fungibility haircut on the own funds of the Chinese insurance joint venture, Aegon THTF Life Insurance Company. Capital generation after holding funding and operating expenses amounted to EUR 0.9 billion. This included market movements with a positive impact of EUR 140 million, mostly driven by the US. Furthermore, one time items were favorable at EUR 292 million, and notably included the impact of management actions in the US, while also reflecting impacts from the a.s.r. stake.

Cash Capital at Holding and free cash flow

Aegon's Cash Capital at Holding decreased during the first half of 2024 from EUR 2,387 million to EUR 2,090 million. This decrease was largely due to EUR 686 million of capital returns to shareholders, driven by the share buyback program that was launched upon the completion of the a.s.r. transaction, and which is now completed. Free cash flow amounted to EUR 373 million and included the final 2023 dividend from a.s.r. Divestures and acquisitions amounted to EUR 16 million driven by the net proceeds related to the sale of Aegon Life Insurance Company in India. Furthermore, in April, a EUR 700 million subordinated bond matured and was redeemed and refinanced by a USD 760 million senior bond. The resulting change in gross financial leverage had a small positive impact of EUR 8 million on Cash Capital at Holding. Other items combined had a negative impact of EUR 8 million.

Interim dividend 2024

Aegon aims to pay a sustainable dividend to allow equity investors to participate in the company's performance, which can grow over time if Aegon's performance so allows. At its 2023 Capital Markets Day, Aegon set a target for dividend growth to around EUR 0.40 per common share over 2025. Aegon announces today an interim dividend for 2024 of EUR 0.16 per common share, which represents an increase of EUR 0.02 compared with the interim dividend for 2023.

Aegon's shares will be quoted ex-dividend on September 4, 2024. The record date for the dividend will be September 5, 2024, and the dividend will be payable as of September 26, 2024.

Share buyback programs

On July 6, 2023, Aegon announced the beginning of a EUR 1.5 billion share buyback program. This program followed the completion of the combination of its Dutch pension, life and non-life insurance, banking, and mortgage origination activities with a.s.r. On April 9, Aegon announced that it would increase the share buyback program by EUR 35 million in the context of repurchasing shares related to share-based compensation plans. On June 28, 2024, Aegon completed the EUR 1.535 billion share buyback program.

On May 16, 2024, Aegon announced a new EUR 200 million share buyback program, consistent with its policy to return excess Cash Capital at Holding to shareholders in the absence of value-creating opportunities. The share buyback program commenced on July 8, 2024, and is expected to be completed on December 13, 2024, barring unforeseen circumstances.

In line with its previously announced intention, Aegon has canceled 127 million of common shares in July 2024. As a consequence, Aegon has 2,077,525,434 shares that are issued (consisting of 1,687,766,194 common shares and 389,759,240 common shares B) on the date of these statements.

Net result

The result before tax amounted to a loss of EUR 83 million, as the operating result was more than offset by the Other charges and non operating items. The tax benefit for the quarter period amounts to EUR 18 million and includes recurring beneficial impacts such as the dividend received deduction and tax credits in the US. The net result, therefore, was a loss of EUR 65 million.

Operating result

Aegon's operating result decreased by 8% compared with the first half of 2023 to EUR 750 million, mostly driven by the Americas, reflecting unfavorable mortality experience and a lower net investment result in Financial Assets. These impacts more than offset business growth of the Strategic Assets in the US. Results also improved in the asset management business, driven by business growth and a one-time expense benefit.

Americas

The operating result from the Americas decreased by 12% to EUR 550 million in the first half of 2024, from EUR 628 million in the same period in 2023. In local currency, the operating result from the Americas decreased by USD 85 million to USD 594 million. This decrease was driven by unfavorable mortality experience and a decrease of the net investment result in the Financial Assets business segment. This was partly offset by an increase of the operating result across all three Strategic Asset business segments, reflecting business growth. This rebalancing towards a larger contribution of Strategic Assets in the earnings mix is consistent with Aegon's strategy.

The operating result of the Distribution business segment increased by 20% to USD 95 million in the first half of 2024, compared with the first half of 2023 and was largely driven by WFG. The operating result increased mainly due to higher net commission revenues following more sales from a growing number of agents, and higher revenue sharing income from third-party product providers related to increased sales volumes. Increasing revenues were partly offset by a small increase of operating expenses.

In the Savings & Investments business segment, the operating result increased to USD 142 million in the first half-year of 2024, compared with USD 124 million in the same period of the prior year. This was mainly driven by Retirement Plans due to a 10% increase of revenues in the reporting period compared with the first half of 2023. This increase mainly resulted from higher fees on higher average account balances, and higher net investment income from more assets invested at higher returns in the general account stable value fund. This was only partly offset by higher employee and technology expenses. Revenues in Mutual Funds increased by 1% in the first half of 2024, compared with the prior year period due to higher fees on higher average asset balances driven by market performance. The Stable Value Solutions line of business had lower revenues due to a reduction of the revenue generating investment balance from planned contract terminations and participant withdrawals.

In Protection Solutions, the operating result increased by 37% to USD 292 million in the first half-year of 2024, compared with the first half of 2023 driven by a growing portfolio. First, the net investment result increased by USD 86 million to USD 251 million in the first half of 2024. This was driven by higher investment balances and higher book yields in a favorable market environment that increased investment income, combined with a methodology change in 2023, that henceforth reduced interest accretion on Indexed Universal Life liabilities. Secondly, a growing CSM balance was the main driver of an increase of the release of CSM by USD 46 million to USD 141 million in the reporting period. Experience variance on claims, expenses, and other items was only slightly unfavorable in this period, while there was USD 44 million of unfavorable experience variance in the prior year reporting period. Onerous contracts in the portfolio were USD 40 million unfavorable, mainly from further cohorts of Term Life becoming onerous in the first half of 2024. In addition, a more unfavorable Other insurance result was driven by a change in the allocation of recurring expenses that had previously been reported as expense experience variances. Furthermore, onerous new business decreased the operating result of Protection Solutions by USD 22 million in the first half of 2024.

The operating result of Financial Assets decreased to USD 64 million in the first half-year of 2024, compared with USD 261 million in the prior year reporting period. Mortality claims experience was USD 116 million unfavorable from large claims on old age policies in Universal Life. Morbidity claims payment experience that is reflected in the operating result was USD 14 million worse than expected; however, it was more than offset by a related increase of expected future profits reflected in the CSM. Onerous contracts were USD 13 million unfavorable in the first half of 2024, mainly driven by purchases of universal life policies from institutional investors, partly offset by updates to the in-force portfolio. Furthermore, the net investment result decreased from a gain of USD 70 million in the first half of 2023 by USD 103 million to a loss of USD 33 million in the reporting period. The decrease was partly driven by a USD 47 million one-time gain in the first half-year of 2023. In addition, asset levels decreased as a result of the run-off of the book and management actions taken, including the reinsurance of a universal life portfolio to Wilton Re in the second half of 2023. Investment income from lower asset levels was only partly offset by higher book yields from investments in higher yielding assets and by lower interest accretion as the book is running off.

The model and assumption updates in the second quarter of 2024 are expected to reduce future claims experience variances, leading to a higher operating result for Transamerica's insurance business going forward. As an indication of the amount of the expected increase, had the new assumptions already been embedded in IFRS liabilities at the beginning of the year, the operating result for the first half of 2024 would have been approximately USD 50 million higher

United Kingdom

The operating result from the UK for the first half-year of 2024 was EUR 94 million, or GBP 80 million in local currency, compared to GBP 97 million in the prior year period. The variance compared to 2023 was driven by the protection book, mostly from unfavorable claims experience in the reporting period. The sale of the protection book was completed on July 1, 2024. Higher revenues from business growth, improved markets and a higher CSM release broadly offset higher expenses in the fee business.

International

The operating result from the International segment decreased by 5% to EUR 90 million in the first half of 2024, compared with the first half of 2023. This was mainly driven by a lower operating result in TLB resulting from unfavorable experience variances on claims and expenses, and a lower asset balance as a consequence of the reinsurance transaction between TLB and Transamerica. This was partly offset by higher operating results in the other International units. The operating result in Brazil increased, benefiting from business growth, favorable claims experience, and an increase of Aegon's economic stake in the joint venture. In China, the operating result increased reflecting expense reductions and business growth. Spain also reported an increase in operating result, which was mainly due to more favorable claims experience in the joint ventures.

Asset Management

The operating result from Aegon AM amounted to EUR 107 million in the first half of 2024, an increase of 44% compared with the same period of 2023, driven by both Global Platforms and Strategic Partnerships. Global Platforms benefited from the expansion of the CLO business, and the asset management partnership with a.s.r. It also benefited from favorable markets which drove higher management fees, and ongoing expense management. In Strategic Partnerships, the operating result increased mainly driven by a one-time expense benefit from AIFMC, which more than offset the impact from adverse market conditions in China. LBP AM's operating result contribution more than doubled, benefiting from the expansion of the LBP AM joint venture.

Holding

The operating result from the Holding remained stable at a loss of EUR 91 million, and mainly reflects funding and operating expenses.

Condensed consolidated interim financial information for the period ended June 30, 2024

Non-operating items

The loss from non-operating items amounted to EUR 430 million in the first half of 2024, mainly due to fair value losses.

Fair value items

Fair value items were a loss of EUR 312 million, mainly driven by the Americas and the UK.

In the Americas, fair value losses amounted to EUR 260 million in the first half of 2024. The loss was driven by the underperformance of alternative investments while gains and losses from the product hedges offset each other. Updated valuations of multi-family real estate contributed EUR 55 million to the fair value loss while land holdings with economic exposure to lower oil and gas prices contributed EUR 152 million. Private equity underperformance resulted in losses of EUR 40 million.

In the UK, fair value losses amounted to EUR 52 million. This reflects the negative revaluations of hedges used to protect the solvency position.

Realized losses on investments

Realized losses on investments amounted to EUR 45 million and were driven by the Americas, where normal trading activity resulted in losses of EUR 48 million from the sale of fixed-income investments.

Net impairments

Net impairments amounted to EUR 72 million, of which EUR 64 million came from the Americas. Half of these impairments were related to expected credit loss (ECL) balance increases following rating downgrades of bond investments. The other half was driven by ECL reserve increases from a more conservative economic forecast on mortgages in the ECL model and the purchase of new assets.

Other charges

Other charges amounted to EUR 403 million, and were driven by the Americas and, to a lesser extent, by the UK.

Other charges in the Americas amounted to EUR 361 million in the first half of 2024. These were driven by charges of EUR 373 million related to various assumption and model updates in the context of Transamerica's annual actuarial assumption review in the second quarter. This charge mostly related to updated mortality assumptions for universal life and term life products, where the book has been experiencing volatile and unfavorable claims experience. The new assumptions are more consistent with the past experience and resulted in an increase of best-estimate liabilities for onerous contracts, and consequently impacted Other charges. Other charges also included EUR 82 million of restructuring charges, largely offset by a gain related to a third-party recapture of a block of policies reinsured by a Transamerica entity.

Other charges in the UK amounted to EUR 28 million and were largely driven by investments in the transformation of the business.

The result from Aegon's stake in a.s.r. led to an Other income of EUR 26 million in the first half of 2024 reflecting our stake in a.s.r.'s net result.

Expenses

Operating expenses increased by 1% compared with the first half of 2023 to EUR 1,509 million. Higher addressable expenses were partially offset by lower restructuring charges and one-time investments in the US.

Addressable expenses increased by EUR 71 million on a constant currency basis when compared with the first half of 2023, to EUR 1,297 million. This was mainly driven by increased expenses in the Americas and UK. In the Americas, this reflects higher expenses related to the Life operating model, including the insourcing of various functions following the strategy announced at the 2023 CMD. For the UK, this reflects higher employee expenses including the onboarding of Nationwide's financial planning teams.

New business value

With the introduction of IFRS 17, Aegon uses two measures for valuing new business. For insurance products accounted for under IFRS 17, Aegon calculates an "IFRS new business value," which is defined as the CSM added as a result of writing profitable new life insurance business, offset by the loss associated with any new onerous contracts issued, both after tax and reinsurance. For other products for which Aegon has traditionally reported a market consistent value of new business (MCVNB), but that are not captured by IFRS new business value, Aegon continues to calculate an MCVNB. The two measures combined comprise New Business Value.

Aegon's total New Business Value amounted to EUR 290 million in the first half of 2024, compared with EUR 316 million in the first half of 2023. In the first half of 2024, it included IFRS new business value of EUR 182 million, and MCVNB of EUR 108 million. While IFRS new business value increased mainly due to higher new individual life sales in the Americas, overall New Business Value declined, mainly due to the impact of expense assumption changes on MCVNB in the Retirement Plans line of business in the Americas.

Americas

The New Business Value in the Americas amounted to EUR 211 million or USD 228 million, a decrease of 5% compared with the first half of 2023.

The decrease was driven by a lower MCVNB for Retirement Plans, which came in at EUR 38 million in the first half-year of 2024, compared with EUR 67 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was a result of expense assumption changes at the end of 2023, and higher written sales in the first half of 2023 that did not repeat this year.

Over the same period, the IFRS new business value increased by 11% to EUR 173 million, of which EUR 156 million were from new business in Protection Solutions compared with EUR 144 million in the first half of 2023. In Protection Solutions, the main contributors to IFRS new business value were increased sales of Indexed Universal Life products and improved profitability of Traditional Life and Workplace Life products. This was partly offset by an increase of new sales of onerous contracts in Workplace Health. The IFRS new business value of Financial Assets increased by 32% to EUR 17 million in the first half-year of 2024, compared with the first half-year of 2023, and was entirely driven by sales of a variable annuity product with limited guarantees.

United Kingdom

In the UK, total New Business Value amounted to EUR 29 million in the first half of 2024, a decrease of EUR 12 million compared with the first half of 2023.

IFRS new business value amounted to EUR 6 million in the first half of 2024, a decrease of EUR 1 million compared with the first half of 2023. New business generated during the period was driven by upgrades of traditional products to the digital platforms, which will reduce over time. The majority of the new business generated on the platform businesses is not reported under IFRS 17.

The MCVNB for the pension business of the UK that is accounted for under IFRS 9 decreased from EUR 34 million in the first half of 2023 to EUR 23 million in the first half of 2024. This decrease was driven by the impact of an assumption update.

International

The New Business Value in International amounted to EUR 50 million, a decrease of EUR 1 million compared with the first half of 2023.

The IFRS new business value of International – which encompasses all the new business in TLB and the longer-term business in Spain & Portugal – amounted to EUR 3 million, an increase of EUR 3 million compared with the first half of 2023. This was mainly driven by the reinsurance business in Spain.

The MCVNB of International – which represents the new business value created in China and Brazil, and the short-term business in Spain & Portugal – amounted to EUR 47 million in the first half of 2024, a decrease of EUR 5 million compared with the prior year period. The impact of business growth in Brazil was more than offset by lower sales in China.

Shareholders' equity Shareholders' equity

As of June 30, 2024, shareholders' equity was EUR 6.6 billion, or EUR 4.02 per common share, which is EUR 1.0 billion lower than on December 31, 2023. The reduction in equity was mainly driven by capital returns to shareholders in the first half of 2024 including the 2023 final dividend approved during the period. As of June 30, 2024, shareholders' equity was EUR 6.6 billion, or EUR 3.96 per common share, which is EUR 1.0 billion lower than on December 31, 2023. The reduction in equity was mainly driven by capital returns to shareholders in the first half of 2024 including the 2023 final dividend approved during the

period.

Gross financial leverage

Gross financial leverage remained stable at EUR 5.1 billion in the first half of 2024. The redemption of a EUR 700 million subordinated bond that matured in April 2024 was refinanced by a USD 760 million senior bond during the same month.

Contractual Service Margin (CSM)

While the CSM balance is shown as a liability on the balance sheet, it represents a store of in-force business value that is expected to be released into earnings over time. The CSM amounted to EUR 8.7 billion per June 30, 2024, and increased by EUR 0.5 billion compared with December 31, 2023.

Over the first half of 2024, the CSM per share after estimated tax adjustment has increased by 25% from EUR 3.65 to EUR 4.17.

New business contributed EUR 263 million to the CSM, driven by business growth in the US. The CSM release of EUR 491 million was mainly driven by the run-off of the Financial Assets in the Americas and the traditional book in the UK.

Claims and policyholder experience reduced CSM by EUR 23 million. Overall net positive impacts on the CSM from claims and policyholder experience in the US was more than offset by negative impacts in the UK. Non-financial assumption changes decreased the CSM by EUR 90 million, driven by annual assumption updates in the US. Markets had a favorable impact for products accounted for under the variable fee approach (VFA) - primarily the unit-linked business in the UK and variable annuities in the US - increasing the CSM by EUR 400 million. Various other items, including favorable impacts from exchange rate changes and interest accretion, increased the CSM by EUR 438 million.

In the Americas, the CSM balance at the end of the first half-year of 2024 amounted to EUR 6,765 million, or USD 7,251 million in local currency, an increase of USD 126 million compared with December 31, 2023. An increase of the CSM balance in the Protection Solutions business segment (Strategic Assets) was only partially offset from a decrease in the CSM for Financial Assets.

Reflecting Transamerica's strategy, the CSM balance of Protection Solutions increased by USD 338 million during the first half of 2024 to USD 3,141 million at the end of the first half of 2024. This was mainly driven by new business which contributed USD 237 million to the CSM compared with USD 214 million in the prior year period, and was only partly offset by the release of CSM of USD 141 million in the first half of 2024. Claims and policyholder experience increased the CSM by USD 109 million mainly due to more favorable expected policyholder behavior and a favorable in-force update for Indexed Universal Life. Non-financial assumption changes increased the CSM with USD 104 million mainly from favorable assumption updates for lapses in Individual Health.

The CSM balance of Financial Assets decreased by USD 212 million in the same period to USD 4,110 million at the end of the first half of 2024, mainly driven by the run-off of the book. The CSM release of USD 272 million was far in excess of CSM added from new business of USD 23 million. Non-financial assumption updates decreased the CSM by USD 238 million driven by reinsurance rate increases and recaptures in Universal Life, as well as updates to the claims utilization and cost of care assumptions in Long-Term Care. These were partly offset by the impact of lower claims incidence rates and additional anticipated premium rate increase updates. The update of the Risk Adjustment contributed USD 127 million to the CSM, mainly from an offset resulting from the assumption updates in Long-Term Care, and higher interest rates. Unfavorable impacts from claims and policyholder experience variances were more than offset by interest accretion on the CSM and favorable market impacts on Variable Annuities.

Aegon has identified various rates available in the EUR, GBP and USD markets that can be used as a basis for the risk-free yield curve, including EURIBOR swap rates for EUR, reformed Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) for GBP, and Secured Overnight Funding Rates (SOFR) and US Treasury rates for USD. EURIBOR rates are adjusted for credit risk by subtracting a credit risk allowance. No adjustment is made to overnight swap rates and US Treasury rates, as the credit risk of these instruments is deemed negligible. for USD.

A full risk-free yield curve is derived by first interpolating between tenors for which market data is available, and then extrapolating the yield curve beyond market observable maturities. Discount rates converge linearly in 10 years to an ultimate forward rate. A uniform last liquid point for EUR and USD is set at 30 years, GBP is set at 50 years. The ultimate forward rates reflect a long-term view on nominal interest rates and is set by management per currency, considering expected real interest rates and long-term inflation together with the current market environment. The ultimate forward rates have been reviewed as part of the annual Group economic assumptions update and revised to 3.40% for the USD, 3.30% for the GBP and EUR in 2024.

On July 8, 2024, Aegon began a EUR 200 million share buyback that was announced on May 16, 2024. The share buyback is expected to be completed on December 13, 2024, barring unforeseen circumstances. Aegon engages a third party to execute the buyback transactions on its behalf. The common shares are to be repurchased at a maximum of the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices during the repurchase period. Aegon intends to cancel these shares. The share buyback program will be executed in compliance with the EU's Market Abuse Regulation.

Aegon has entered into an agreement with its largest shareholder, Vereniging Aegon, to participate in the new EUR 200 million share buyback program. The repurchase of shares from Vereniging Aegon also began on July 8, 2024, and is expected to be completed on December 13, 2024, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Vereniging Aegon will participate pro-rata in the share buyback program based on its combined common shares and common shares B which represent about 18.4% of the total shareholders' voting rights; this results in a buyback amount of EUR 37 million. The number of common shares that Aegon will repurchase from Vereniging Aegon will be determined based on the daily volume-weighted average price per common share on Euronext Amsterdam.

Independent auditor's review report

To: the shareholders and Board of Directors of Aegon Ltd.

Our conclusion

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in the accompanying interim half-yearly financial report of Aegon Ltd. based in Bermuda for the period from January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Aegon Ltd. for the period from January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

  • The condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprises:
  • The condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2024
  • The following condensed consolidated statements for the period from January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024: the income statement and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows
  • The notes comprising material accounting policy information and selected explanatory information.

Basis for our conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standard 2410, "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity''. A review of interim financial information in accordance with the Dutch Standard 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the Our responsibilities for the review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of Aegon Ltd. in accordance with the Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. Furthermore, we have complied with the Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics).

We believe the assurance evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.

Responsibilities of management and the Board of Directors for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing Aegon Ltd.'s financial reporting process.

Our responsibilities for the review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to plan and perform the review in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate assurance evidence for our conclusion.

The level of assurance obtained in a review engagement is substantially less than the level of assurance obtained in an audit conducted in accordance with the Dutch Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We have exercised professional judgement and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the review, in accordance with Dutch Standard 2410.

Our review included among others:

  • Obtaining an understanding of Aegon Ltd. and its environment, including its internal control, and the applicable financial reporting framework, in order to identify areas in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements where material misstatements are likely to arise due to fraud or error, designing and performing analytical and other review procedures to address those areas, and obtaining assurance evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
  • Obtaining an understanding of internal control as it relates to the preparation of interim financial statements.
  • Making inquiries of management and others within Aegon Ltd.
  • Applying analytical procedures with respect to information included in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Cautionary note regarding non-EU-IFRS measures

This document includes the following non-EU-IFRS financial measures: operating result and addressable expenses. These non-EU-IFRS measures, except for addressable expenses, are calculated by consolidating on a proportionate basis Aegon's joint ventures and associated companies (excluding a.s.r.). Operating result reflects Aegon's result from underlying business operations and excludes components that relate to accounting mismatches that are dependent on market volatility or relate to events that are considered outside the normal course of business. Operating expenses are all expenses associated with selling and administrative activities (excluding commissions). This includes certain expenses recorded in other charges for segment reporting, including restructuring charges. Addressable expenses are calculated by excluding the following items from operating expenses: direct variable acquisition expenses, restructuring expenses (including expenses related to the operational improvement plan), expenses in joint ventures and associates and expenses related to acquisitions and disposals. Addressable expenses are reported on a constant currency basis. Aegon believes that these non-EU-IFRS measures, together with the EU-IFRS information, provide meaningful supplemental information about the operating results of Aegon's business including insight into the financial measures that senior management uses in managing the business.

The following are words that identify such forward-looking statements: aim, believe, estimate, target, intend, may, expect, anticipate, predict, project, counting on, plan, continue, want, forecast, goal, should, would, could, is confident, will, and similar expressions as they relate to Aegon. These statements may contain information about financial prospects, economic conditions and trends and involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, any statements that refer to sustainability, environmental and social targets, commitments, goals, efforts and expectations and other events or circumstances that are partially dependent on future events are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Aegon undertakes no obligation, and expressly disclaims any duty, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which merely reflect company expectations at the time of writing. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from expectations conveyed in forward-looking statements due to changes caused by various risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to the following:

  • Unexpected delays, difficulties, and expenses in executing against Aegon's environmental, climate, diversity and inclusion or other "ESG" targets, goals and commitments, and changes in laws or regulations affecting us, such as changes in data privacy, environmental, health and safety laws;
  • Changes in general economic and/or governmental conditions, particularly in Bermuda, the United States, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom;
  • Civil unrest, (geo-) political tensions, military action or other instability in a country or geographic region;
  • Changes in the performance of financial markets, including emerging markets, such as with regard to:

  • Changes in the performance of Aegon's investment portfolio and decline in ratings of Aegon's counterparties;
  • Lowering of one or more of Aegon's debt ratings issued by recognized rating organizations and the adverse impact such action may have on Aegon's ability to raise capital and on its liquidity and financial condition;
  • Lowering of one or more of insurer financial strength ratings of Aegon's insurance subsidiaries and the adverse impact such action may have on the written premium, policy retention, profitability and liquidity of its insurance subsidiaries;
  • The effect of applicable Bermuda solvency requirements, the European Union's Solvency II requirements, and applicable equivalent solvency requirements and other regulations in other jurisdictions affecting the capital Aegon is required to maintain;
  • Changes in the European Commissions' or European regulator's position on the equivalence of the supervisory regime for insurance and reinsurance undertakings in force in Bermuda;

  • Increasing levels of competition, particularly in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and emerging markets;

  • The frequency and severity of insured loss events;
  • Changes affecting longevity, mortality, morbidity, persistence and other factors that may impact the profitability of Aegon's insurance products and management of derivatives;
  • Aegon's projected results are highly sensitive to complex mathematical models of financial markets, mortality, longevity, and other dynamic systems subject to shocks and unpredictable volatility. Should assumptions to these models later prove incorrect, or should errors in those models escape the controls in place to detect them, future performance will vary from projected results;
  • Reinsurers to whom Aegon has ceded significant underwriting risks may fail to meet their obligations;
  • Changes in customer behavior and public opinion in general related to, among other things, the type of products Aegon sells, including legal, regulatory or commercial necessity to meet changing customer expectations;
  • Customer responsiveness to both new products and distribution channels;
  • Third-party information used by us may prove to be inaccurate and change over time as methodologies and data availability and quality continue to evolve impacting our results and disclosures;
  • As Aegon's operations support complex transactions and are highly dependent on the proper functioning of information technology, operational risks such as system disruptions or failures, security or data privacy breaches, cyberattacks, human error, failure to safeguard personally identifiable information, changes in operational practices or inadequate controls including with respect to third parties with which Aegon does business, may disrupt Aegon's business, damage its reputation and adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and Aegon may be unable to adopt to and apply new technologies;
  • The impact of acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items, including Aegon's ability to complete, or obtain regulatory approval for, acquisitions and divestitures, integrate acquisitions, and realize anticipated results, and its ability to separate businesses as part of divestitures;

  • Consequences of an actual or potential break-up of the European Monetary Union in whole or in part, or further consequences of the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union and potential consequences if other European Union countries leave the European Union;
  • Changes in laws and regulations, or the interpretation thereof by regulators and courts, including as a result of comprehensive reform or shifts away from multilateral approaches to regulation of global or national operations, particularly regarding those laws and regulations related to ESG matters, those affecting Aegon's operations' ability to hire and retain key personnel, taxation of Aegon companies, the products Aegon sells, the attractiveness of certain products to its consumers and Aegon's intellectual property;
  • Regulatory changes relating to the pensions, investment, insurance industries and enforcing adjustments in the jurisdictions in which Aegon operates; • Standard setting initiatives of supranational standard setting bodies such as the Financial Stability Board and the International Association
  • of Insurance Supervisors or changes to such standards that may have an impact on regional (such as EU), national or US federal or state level financial regulation or the application thereof to Aegon, including the designation of Aegon by the Financial Stability Board as a Global Systemically Important Insurer (G-SII);
  • Changes in accounting regulations and policies or a change by Aegon in applying such regulations and policies, voluntarily or otherwise, which may affect Aegon's reported results, shareholders' equity or regulatory capital adequacy levels;
  • Changes in ESG standards and requirements, including assumptions, methodology and materiality, or a change by Aegon in applying such standards and requirements, voluntarily or otherwise, may affect Aegon's ability to meet evolving standards and requirements, or Aegon's ability to meet its sustainability and ESG-related goals, or related public expectations, which may also negatively affect Aegon's reputation or the reputation of its board of directors or its management; and in other documents filed or to be filed by Aegon with the SEC

Reliance on third-party information in certain of Aegon's disclosures, which may change over time as methodologies and data availability and quality continue to evolve. These factors, as well as any inaccuracies in third-party information used by Aegon, including in estimates or assumptions, may cause results to differ materially and adversely from statements, estimates, and beliefs made by Aegon or third-parties. Moreover, Aegon's disclosures based on any standards may change due to revisions in framework requirements, availability of information, changes in its business or applicable governmental policies, or other factors, some of which may be beyond Aegon's control. Additionally, Aegon's discussion of various ESG and other sustainability issues in this document or in other locations, including on our corporate website, may be informed by the interests of various stakeholders, as well as various ESG standards, frameworks, and regulations (including for the measurement and assessment of underlying data). As such, our disclosures on such issues, including climate-related disclosures, may include information that is not necessarily "material" under US securities laws for SEC reporting purposes, even if we use words such as "material" or "materiality" in relation to those statements. ESG expectations continue to evolve, often quickly, including for matters outside of our control; our disclosures are inherently dependent on the methodology (including any related assumptions or estimates) and data used, and there can be no guarantee that such disclosures will necessarily reflect or be consistent with the preferred practices or interpretations of particular stakeholders, either currently or in future.
