Statement of Alex Wynaendts, CEO
“During the second quarter, we made solid progress in delivering on AEGON’s key strategic priorities, not least of which was the completion of repayment to the Dutch State. The particularly strong sales of variable annuities and pension and retirement products in the United States are a result of the successful repositioning of our business toward more fee-generating income. Our pursuit of growth opportunities in AEGON’s new markets led to strong new life sales in Central & Eastern Europe, as well as expanded distribution in Spain, where we recently strengthened our life insurance and pension partnership with Unnim, a leading savings bank in the northeastern region of the country.
“The weakening of the US dollar had a notable impact on AEGON’s reported results. Net income was strong for the quarter, however, underlying earnings were negatively affected by anticipated exceptional items in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
“Clearly, the current economic environment poses considerable challenges. However, over the past years we have implemented measures to strengthen and protect AEGON’s balance sheet by reducing our exposure to equity and credit markets, as well as interest rate risks. At the same time, we are restructuring our businesses in our key markets. These actions, along with our very limited exposure to peripheral European countries, support our confidence in AEGON’s growth prospects going forward.”

- Grow underlying earnings before tax on average by 7%-10% per annum;
AEGON’s AMBITION
To be a leader in all our chosen markets by 2015
AEGON’s STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
-
Optimize portfolio
-
Enhance customer loyalty
-
o Deliver operational excellence o Empower employees
-
Achieve a return on equity of 10%-12% by 2015;
-
Increase fee businesses to 30%-35% of underlying earnings before tax by 2015; and
-
Increase 2010 normalized operating free cash flow by 30% by 2015.
AEGON also announced its intention to achieve structural cost reductions in its established markets. In the Netherlands, a 20% reduction in operating expenses as compared to the 2009 base is targeted by the end of 2012. In the United Kingdom, AEGON is on track to reduce costs by 25% by the end of 2011. In the United States, AEGON aims to grow its life and protection business faster than the industry, while keeping operating expenses flat throughout the period until 2015.
AEGON’s ambition
AEGON’s ambition to be a leader in all of its chosen markets by 2015 is supported by four strategic objectives: Optimize Portfolio, Enhance Customer Loyalty, Deliver Operational Excellence and Empower Employees.
These key objectives have been embedded in all AEGON businesses and provide the strategic framework for the company’s ambition to become the most-recommended life insurance and pension provider by customers and distributors, as well as the most-preferred employer in the sector.
Optimize portfolio
In Spain, AEGON has finalized an agreement to expand its life and health insurance and pension partnership with Unnim. The agreement includes the acquisition of a 50% stake in the life insurance business of Caixa Sabadell, expanding into the network of Caixa Manlleu and strengthening of AEGON’s existing partnership with Caixa Terrassa. These three savings banks joined together earlier this year to form Unnim. The agreement gives AEGON the exclusive right to distribute its life insurance and pension products through Unnim’s network of 623 branches. Unnim is a leading savings bank in the northeastern part of Spain, with a significant presence and more than one million customers.
Also, AEGON has closed an agreement to jointly develop health insurance business with Caja Navarra, part of Banca Cívica.
AEGON continues to closely monitor the process of consolidation and restructuring in the financial sector in Spain.
AEGON has appointed Jaime Kirkpatrick to the role of CEO of AEGON Spain effective July 1, 2011. Mr. Kirkpatrick has played a key role in expanding AEGON’s presence across the Spanish market in his previous capacity of director of bancassurance for AEGON Spain.
1Main economic assumptions embedded in targets: annual gross equity market return of 9%, 10-year US interest rate of 5.25% in 2015 and EUR/USD rate of 1.35.

On August 9, 2011, AEGON completed the divestment of its life reinsurance activities, Transamerica Reinsurance, to Scor. The total aftertax consideration amounted to USD 1.4 billion, consisting of cash proceeds of USD 0.9 billion from Scor and a further USD 0.5 billion of capital released. AEGON estimates that this transaction will have a positive impact on its IGD solvency ratio of approximately 13% in the third quarter of 2011.
Deliver operational excellence
In the Netherlands, AEGON has decided to combine its pension service centre with its corporate & institutional clients sales unit into one pension business with the aim of increasing efficiency, providing better service and strengthening AEGON’s leading position in the Dutch pension market. The new unit will serve three customer groups – small and medium sized enterprises, institutional clients and pension plan participants.
Enhance customer loyalty
In its aim to develop a stronger and more consistent brand portfolio globally, with shared purposes and core values, AEGON has sharpened its brand proposition in the United States. The company will bring together its North American retail businesses under one name, Transamerica. A new advertising campaign will be launched in September.
AEGON has also decided to rebrand its asset management activities in the United Kingdom as Kames Capital to enhance its distinctive investment propositions while supporting accelerated growth of the business.
AEGON has established a target to reduce the CO2 emissions of its offices by 10% by 2012. The goal is part of AEGON’s continuing efforts to manage all assets – including those that affect the environment – in a responsible way. In the long run, the changes that are implemented to meet the target will reduce costs as well as CO2 emissions. Setting a goal in this respect will also help the company meet the growing expectations of its stakeholders.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Underlying earnings before tax
AEGON’s underlying earnings before tax amounted to EUR 401 million in the second quarter. The decline, compared with the same quarter last year, was mainly due to unfavorable currency exchange rate movements, higher provisioning for longevity in the Netherlands and charges related to the customer redress program in the United Kingdom.
Underlying earnings from the Americas decreased to EUR 325 million. The decline was the result of a weakening of the US dollar against the euro and a lower contribution from fixed annuities as balances are being managed lower. Lower earnings from Life & Protection were offset by higher fee-based earnings, consistent with AEGON’s strategy.
In the Netherlands, underlying earnings decreased to EUR 74 million as a result of higher provisioning for longevity of EUR 23 million and investments in developing new distribution capabilities. AEGON expects to provision on average EUR 20 million per quarter in 2011 in addition to previous levels of provisioning.
In the United Kingdom, underlying earnings declined to EUR 10 million. The decrease was mainly due to charges of EUR 14 million related to an ongoing program to correct historical issues within customer policy records. Expenses related to the execution of this program amounted to EUR 7 million. In addition, investments in developing new propositions amounted to EUR 8 million.
Underlying earnings from New Markets increased to EUR 59 million driven mainly by strong earnings in Central & Eastern Europe and AEGON Asset Management.
Costs for the holding amounted to EUR 67 million as lower interest income and increased expenses related to the preparation for implementation of Solvency II were more than offset by a one-time benefit of EUR 14 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Net income
Net income decreased slightly to EUR 404 million. Higher net income for the Americas and New Markets was offset by lower net income for the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Fair value items
In the second quarter, fair value items recorded a loss of EUR 23 million. Negative results in the Americas, mainly related to lower interest rates and equity market volatility, were partly offset by positive fair value movements of derivatives related to debt issued by the holding.
Realized gains on investments
Realized gains on investments amounted to EUR 204 million for the quarter and were the result of a strategic reallocation of equities into fixed income in the Netherlands in addition to normal trading in the investment portfolio.
Impairment charges
Impairment charges amounted to EUR 100 million and were linked to residential mortgage-backed securities in the United States and the result of exchange offers on specific holdings of European banks in the United Kingdom.
Other charges
Other charges amounted to EUR 16 million and are mostly related to restructuring charges in the United Kingdom (EUR 15 million), the Netherlands (EUR 10 million) and New Markets (EUR 3 million).
Run-off businesses
The results of run-off businesses increased to EUR 10 million, mainly as a result of a lower amortization yield paid on internally transferred assets related to the institutional spread-based business.
Income tax
Tax charges for the quarter amounted to EUR 72 million. These charges included EUR 4 million in tax benefits related to cross-border intercompany reinsurance transactions and a favorable tax settlement of EUR 15 million in the United States.
Page 5 of 24
==> picture [66 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Return on equity
In the first half of 2011, AEGON’s return on equity declined to 8.0%, mainly the result of higher average shareholders’ equity excluding revaluation reserves. The increase in average shareholders’ equity was mainly the result of an equity issue of EUR 0.9 billion in February 2011.
Operating expenses
As a result of movements in currency exchange rates, operating expenses remained level at EUR 847 million. Excluding restructuring charges and employee benefit plans and at constant currencies, operating expenses remained level as well.
Sales
AEGON’s total sales decreased 15% to EUR 1.3 billion due mainly to unfavorable currency movements. At constant currencies, total sales declined 7%. New life sales were mainly impacted by lower production in the United Kingdom and the Americas following repricing of products, only partly offset by growth in Central & Eastern Europe.
Gross deposits amounted to EUR 6.7 billion, or a decline of 2% at constant currencies. Strong variable annuity and stable value deposits in the United States were more than offset by the effects of a weaker US dollar, lower asset management inflows and less savings account deposits in the Netherlands.
Value of new business
Compared with the second quarter 2010, the value of new business declined considerably to EUR 103 million. This was the result of higher mortgage-related funding costs and updated mortality assumptions in the Netherlands, lower new business volumes in the United Kingdom and Spain, discontinuance of new mandatory pension sales in Hungary and unfavorable currency exchange rates.
Revenue-generating investments
Revenue-generating investments declined 2% compared with the end of the first quarter of 2011 to EUR 391 billion, the result of a weakening of the US dollar against the euro and the transfer of over EUR 2 billion of pension assets to the Hungarian State during the second quarter 2011.
Capital management
At the end of the second quarter, AEGON’s core capital, excluding revaluation reserves, amounted to EUR 15.9 billion, equivalent to 73%[6] of the company’s total capital base. The decline from the previous quarter was mainly due to the repurchase of all remaining convertible core capital securities from the Dutch State for an amount of EUR 750 million plus a premium of EUR 375 million. AEGON is on target to achieve the proportion of core capital to be at least 75% of total capital by the end of 2012.
Shareholders’ equity remained level compared with first quarter-end 2011 at EUR 16.8 billion as net income in the second quarter was offset by the premium paid on the repurchase of the final tranche of convertible core capital securities from the Dutch State.
The revaluation reserves at June 30, 2011, increased to EUR 1 billion, mainly the result of a decrease in risk-free interest rates which had a positive effect on the value of fixed income securities. This positive effect was offset by a decline in the foreign currency translation reserve, primarily the result of a weakening of the US dollar against the euro.
AEGON aims to maintain at least 1.5 times holding expenses as a buffer at the holding, currently equivalent to approximately EUR 900 million. During the second quarter, excess capital in the holding decreased to EUR 1 billion. The EUR 1.125 billion payment to the Dutch State, holding costs, interest payments and the preferred dividend were partly offset by EUR 1.4 billion in dividends received from the company’s operating units.
At June 30, 2011, AEGON’s Insurance Group Directive (IGD) ratio amounted to ~200%, a slight decline from the level of ~210% at the end of the first quarter. Solvency ratios in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom were relatively flat, while the solvency ratio in the United States declined. The main driver of this decline was up-streaming of dividends to repurchase all remaining convertible core capital securities provided by the Dutch State for an amount of EUR 1.125 billion. The proceeds related to the divestment of Transamerica Reinsurance will be accounted for in the third quarter.

==> picture [66 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Cash flows
AEGON’s subsidiaries generated EUR 564 million in operational cash flows during the second quarter of 2011. Operational free cash flows, which reflect excess capital generation, were relatively stable as the impact of realized gains in the Netherlands was offset by increased capital requirements in the United States related to low interest rates.
After deduction of EUR 281 million for investments in new business, operational free cash flow totaled EUR 283 million for the quarter. This brings the total for the first half year of 2011 to EUR 547 million of operational free cash flows.

AMERICAS
-
Underlying earnings before tax decline to USD 469 million; a result of lower fixed annuity earnings
-
Net income increases to USD 342 million
-
New life sales decline to USD 151 million as a result of lower universal life sales due to repricing
-
Gross deposits increase to USD 7.2 billion driven by strong variable annuity and stable value deposits
Underlying earnings before tax
Underlying earnings from the Americas decreased to USD 469 million for the second quarter 2011.
-
Earnings from Life & Protection in the Americas amounted to USD 194 million. The decrease, as compared to the same quarter last year, was mainly due to unfavorable persistency and lower spreads, while the comparable quarter last year included reserve releases.
-
Individual Savings & Retirement earnings amounted to USD 170 million. Fixed annuity earnings decreased to USD 77 million as a result of lower spreads and declining asset balances as the product is de-emphasized. Variable annuity earnings increased as a result of continued strong net inflows and higher asset balances to USD 87 million. Earnings from retail mutual funds also increased as a result of higher account balances and amounted to USD 6 million.
-
Earnings from Employer Solutions & Pensions increased to USD 83 million mainly as a result of continued growth of the business.
-
Earnings from Canada amounted to USD 19 million and included a one-time benefit of USD 7 million. The joint ventures in Latin America contributed USD 3 million.
Gains on investments of USD 71 million were realized as a result of normal trading activity. Net impairments amounted to USD 76 million and were largely linked to residential mortgage-backed securities.
The results of run-off businesses increased to USD 15 million. This was mainly a result of a lower amortization yield paid on internally transferred assets related to the institutional spread-based business.
Net income contained a tax expense of USD 60 million in the second quarter, including a favorable tax settlement of USD 20 million and USD 6 million in tax benefits related to cross-border intercompany reinsurance transactions.
Return on capital
In the first half of 2011, the return on average capital, excluding revaluation reserves, invested in AEGON’s businesses in the Americas declined to 7.1%, mainly the result of lower net underlying earnings. Excluding the capital allocated to the run-off businesses, the return on capital in the Americas would amount to 9.3%. Return on capital of AEGON’s businesses excludes the benefit of leverage at the holding.
Operating expenses
Net income
Net income from AEGON’s businesses in the Americas increased to USD 342 million in the second quarter. Lower underlying earnings and lower earnings from fair value items were more than offset by higher realized gains on investments and a positive contribution from run-off businesses. In addition, the second quarter 2010 included a one-time charge of USD 140 million for settlement of a dispute related to a BOLI policy in the United States.
The loss of USD 72 million for fair value items in the Americas was mainly related to lower interest rates and equity market volatility.
Operating expenses increased 4% to USD 502 million, mainly as a result of higher employee benefit plan expenses. Operating expenses increased 2% excluding restructuring charges and employee benefit plan expenses.
Sales
New life sales declined to USD 151 million, mainly the effect of the discontinuance of single premium universal life sales in the bank channel during the second half of 2010, as well as repricing of certain universal life products this year to reflect the current interest rate environment. New premium production for accident & health insurance increased to USD 201 million.
Page 8 of 24
==> picture [66 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Gross deposits increased to USD 7.2 billion as a result of higher fee-based deposits. In addition to organic growth in traditional distribution channels, the introduction during the first quarter of a new variable annuity rider, Retirement Income Max, drove an 8-year record level of variable annuity deposits of USD 1.4 billion in the second quarter. Stable value and retirement plan deposits also continued to be strong during the quarter.
Net deposits for the ongoing businesses totaled USD 0.6 billion as continued net inflows for the pension and variable annuity businesses were only partly offset by fixed annuity outflows. AEGON is deemphasizing sales of fixed annuities as part of a strategic repositioning and incurred net outflows for this business as a result.
Value of new business
Value of new business increased to USD 73 million, mainly as a result of improved margins on variable annuities. The internal rate of return on new business was 15%.
Revenue-generating investments
Revenue-generating investments were stable at USD 325 billion as compared to the first quarter of 2011. The decline in general account assets as a result of a fixed annuity coinsurance transaction of USD 1.5 billion and lower run-off balances was compensated for by higher variable annuity and pension account balances.

THE NETHERLANDS
-
Underlying earnings before tax decrease to EUR 74 million due to higher provisioning for longevity
-
Net income amounts to EUR 169 million
-
New life sales were level at EUR 40 million
Underlying earnings before tax
Underlying earnings from AEGON’s operations in the Netherlands decreased to EUR 74 million as higher results in Life & Savings were more than offset by higher provisioning for longevity in Pensions and a decline in non-life results.
-
Earnings from AEGON’s Life & Savings operations in the Netherlands were strong and amounted to EUR 55 million as a result of favorable mortality and a higher contribution from mortgages compared to the second quarter of 2010.
-
Earnings from the Pension business declined to EUR 16 million primarily due to higher provisioning for longevity of EUR 23 million. AEGON expects to provision approximately EUR 20 million on average per quarter in 2011, in addition to 2010 levels of provisioning.
-
Earnings from Non-life were nil, a decrease from the comparable quarter of 2010 as a result of higher claims and investments made in the business to increase efficiency.
-
The Distribution businesses recorded a loss of EUR 1 million, while associates contributed EUR 4 million.
Net income
Net income from AEGON’s businesses in the Netherlands remained level and amounted to EUR 169 million. Fair value items amounted to EUR 2 million, as the negative movement in market value of real estate was offset by other fair value items. Gains on investments totaled EUR 142 million for the quarter and were primarily a result of a strategic reallocation of equities into fixed income. Other charges of EUR 11 million included EUR 10 million of charges related to the restructuring of AEGON’s bank and distribution businesses. The reorganization is expected to save EUR 20 million per annum in costs when completed.
Return on capital
In the first half of 2011, the return on capital excluding revaluation reserves, invested in AEGON’s businesses in the Netherlands, remained level compared to the same period last year at 7.3%. Return on capital of AEGON’s businesses excludes the benefit of leverage at the holding.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased to EUR 201 million in the second quarter of 2011, mainly as a result of restructuring charges and investments in the further development of new distribution capabilities. Excluding restructuring charges, operating expenses would have been level with the second quarter of 2010.
Sales
New life sales remained level at EUR 40 million during the second quarter of 2011. Individual life sales increased 19% to EUR 25 million driven by mortgagerelated product sales. Through successful mortgage production AEGON increased its market share in the individual life insurance market to above 11%. New mortgage production for the quarter amounted to EUR 1.1 billion, equivalent to an estimated market share of approximately 9%. Pension sales were lower than in the comparable quarter last year as the market is waiting for a final outcome of the national pension debate and pricing became more competitive in this market. AEGON was one of the first parties to adjust its pricing policy to reflect updated mortality tables.
Premium production for accident & health and non-life products amounted to EUR 11 million and increased slightly compared with the second quarter of 2010.
Gross deposits decreased to EUR 442 million as AEGON offered less competitive interest rates on savings accounts. Following the transfer of activities, third-party pension deposits are included in AEGON Asset Management’s gross deposits from the second quarter of 2011.

==> picture [66 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
Value of new business
The value of new business declined to EUR 20
million, mainly as a result of higher mortgage-related funding costs and updated mortality assumptions. The internal rate of return on new business amounted to 17%.
Revenue-generating investments
Revenue-generating investments decreased 18% to EUR 60 billion compared with the previous quarter. This was mainly driven by the transfer of EUR 12 billion of assets related to third-party pension asset management operations from AEGON The Netherlands to AEGON Asset Management.

UNITED KINGDOM
-
Underlying earnings before tax of GBP 9 million due to anticipated exceptional charges and expenses
-
Net income amounts to GBP (15) million
-
New life sales decrease to GBP 191 million as a result of lower pension sales
Underlying earnings before tax
In the United Kingdom, underlying earnings before tax amounted to GBP 9 million as a result of charges relating to the customer redress program (GBP 12 million) and expenses related to the execution of this program (GBP 6 million), the development of new product propositions (GBP 7 million) and expenses related to regulatory changes. These exceptional expenses are expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2011.
-
Earnings from Life increased to GBP 17 million, mainly as a result of cost reductions.
-
Pensions recorded a loss of GBP 7 million as the benefits from further business growth and improved market conditions were more than offset by charges of GBP 12 million relating to the customer redress program, expenses related to the execution of this program of GBP 6 million and investments of GBP 7 million in the development of new propositions.
-
Distribution recorded a loss of GBP 1 million, level with the results in the same quarter last year.
In May 2009, AEGON began the implementation of a program to identify and correct historical issues within its customer policy records. The immediate priority of the program has been to deal with issues that resulted in financial detriment and to return affected customers to the financial position they would have been in had the issue not occurred. The program of determining the full scope of customer redress is expected to continue throughout the remainder of the year and could lead to additional charges. AEGON is on track to resolve all issues and expects to have repaid the majority of the customer detriment by the end of 2011.
Net income
Gains on investments amounted to GBP 10 million as a result of a continuing shift from corporate bonds into gilts. Impairments in the second quarter increased to GBP 35 million as a result of exchange offers on specific holdings of European banks. Net income also contained a charge of GBP 13 million related to the restructuring of AEGON’s operations in the United Kingdom.
Return on capital
In the first half of 2011, the return on average capital invested in the United Kingdom, excluding the revaluation reserves, declined to 3.8%. The decrease was the result of higher average capital invested in the unit in combination with lower net underlying earnings. Return on capital of AEGON’s businesses excludes the benefit of leverage at the holding.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased to GBP 109 million, mainly driven by charges relating to the restructuring program of GBP 13 million, as well as investments in the new proposition development of GBP 7 million. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2011 also include expenses of GBP 6 million relating to the execution of the customer redress program. The restructuring aims to reduce operating expenses by 25%, or GBP 80-85 million, by the end of 2011. It is expected that further restructuring charges will arise in coming quarters. To date, AEGON has enacted cost savings of GBP 58 million.
Sales
New life sales decreased to GBP 191 million during the quarter as a result of a planned decrease in sales of individual pensions, new group schemes and annuities following repricing, partially offset by an increase in group pension new entrants.
Net income declined to GBP (15) million, as lower underlying earnings and higher impairments were only partly offset by better results on fair value items and higher gains on investments.

declined to GBP 10 million, mainly driven by lower sales. The internal rate of return on new business for the second quarter was 11%.

NEW MARKETS
-
Underlying earnings before tax increase 48% to EUR 59 million mainly driven by higher results in CEE
-
o Net income increases to EUR 39 million
-
New life sales decline to EUR 70 million driven by lower single premium sales in Poland and Spain
Underlying earnings before tax
In New Markets, AEGON reported underlying earnings before tax of EUR 59 million as a result of higher underlying earnings before tax from Central & Eastern Europe and AEGON Asset Management.
-
Earnings from Central & Eastern Europe increased to EUR 29 million, largely driven by higher earnings in Hungary, as an improvement in the claim experience more than offset the negative impact from pension legislation changes. The comparable quarter in 2010 included higher claims related to storms and floods in Hungary.
-
Results from AEGON’s operations in Asia improved to EUR (8) million. Higher contributions from the in-force business were only partly offset by continued investments in the company’s joint ventures in China, India and Japan. The results for the Asia regional office have been included in the Asia results since the first quarter of 2011, following the implementation of the new operational structure for the Asian operations.
-
Earnings from Spain & France increased to EUR 20 million as a result of business growth in Spain following the successful strategic focus on the bancassurance channel.
-
Earnings from Variable Annuities Europe amounted to nil as a result of a true up of deferred policy acquisition costs.
-
AEGON Asset Management reported increased earnings of EUR 18 million driven by higher performance fees and lower expenses.
In June, over EUR 2 billion of pension assets were transferred to the Hungarian State. As part of the new pension legislation in Hungary, asset management and administration fees have been reduced. In Poland, the government reduced contributions to private pension funds. AEGON expects the measures in Hungary and Poland to have a negative impact on underlying earnings of approximately EUR 20 million in 2011, much of which is expected to occur during the second half of the year.
Net income
Net income from New Markets increased to EUR 39 million during the quarter, primarily as a result of higher underlying earnings. In addition, lower realized gains were offset by lower other charges. Impairment charges declined to EUR 4 million and were mainly related to mortgages in the CEE.
Return on capital
In the first half of 2011, the return on capital invested in New Markets, excluding revaluation reserves, increased to 8.2%, mainly the result of higher net underlying earnings. AEGON’s businesses reported under New Markets are in different stages of development and therefore generate different returns. The majority of the capital is allocated to Central & Eastern Europe and Spain & France, which posted returns of 15.6% and 6.0% respectively. Return on capital of AEGON’s businesses excludes the benefit of leverage at the holding.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased to EUR 132 million in the second quarter, mainly as a result of higher operating expenses in Spain, Asia and Variable Annuities Europe as a result of growth of the business.
Sales
New life sales declined 5% to EUR 70 million.
-
In Central & Eastern Europe, new life sales increased by 25% to EUR 30 million driven by Hungary and Turkey. A decline in single premium production in Poland was offset by an increase in life recurring premium production, mainly as a result of increased focus on life insurance in Hungary and Poland.
-
In Asia, new life sales declined to EUR 7 million as growth in India was offset by lower new life sales in China, primarily as a result of new regulation.
-
New life sales in Spain & France declined 20% to EUR 33 million, largely as a result of lower production at one of the distribution partners in Spain.
Page 15 of 24
==> picture [66 x 25] intentionally omitted <==
New premium production from AEGON’s general insurance and accident & health businesses decreased to EUR 8 million, driven by lower motor insurance production due to increased competition.
Gross deposits in New Markets declined to EUR 1.2 billion, primarily driven by lower asset management deposits.
Revenue-generating investments
Revenue-generating investments increased 31% compared with the first quarter of 2011 to EUR 42 billion, driven by the transfer of EUR 12 billion of assets related to third-party pension asset management operations from AEGON The Netherlands to AEGON Asset Management, which were only partly offset by net outflows in Hungary.
Value of new business
Value of new business in New Markets decreased to EUR 20 million as a result of combined negative effects of adverse pension legislation in Hungary, lower production at one of the distribution partners in Spain and margin pressure for Variable Annuities Europe.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS FIRST SIX MONTHS 2011
Underlying earnings before tax
AEGON’s underlying earnings before tax amounted to EUR 815 million for the first six months of 2011. The decline compared with the same period last year was mainly due to unfavorable currency exchange rates, higher provisioning for longevity in the Netherlands and charges related to the customer redress program in the United Kingdom.
Underlying earnings from the Americas decreased to EUR 672 million. The decline was the result of a weakening of the US dollar against the euro and a lower contribution from fixed annuities as balances are being managed lower. Lower earnings from Life & Protection were offset by higher fee-based earnings, consistent with AEGON’s strategy.
Fair value items
In the first six months of 2011, fair value items recorded a loss of EUR 108 million. An improvement in the Americas related to strong results from real estate and private equity was more than offset by an exceptional loss on strategic allocation funds in the Netherlands. In addition, results related to the interest rate hedging program in the Netherlands contributed less than in the comparable period.
Realized gains on investments
Realized gains on investments increased to EUR 295 million for the first half of the year and were the result of normal trading in the investment portfolio and a reallocation of equities into fixed income in the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands, underlying earnings decreased to EUR 155 million as a result of higher provisioning for longevity of EUR 47 million and investments in developing new distribution capabilities. AEGON expects to provision on average EUR 20 million per quarter in 2011, in addition to 2010 levels of provisioning.
Impairment charges
Impairment charges improved considerably to EUR 162 million and were linked to residential mortgage-backed securities in the United States and the result of exchange offers on specific European bank holdings in the United Kingdom.
Other charges
In the United Kingdom, underlying earnings declined to EUR 22 million. The decrease was mainly due to charges of EUR 39 million related to an ongoing program to correct historical issues within customer policy records.
Underlying earnings from New Markets increased to EUR 116 million driven mainly by growth in Central & Eastern Europe and AEGON Asset Management.
Higher funding costs and increased expenses related to the preparation for implementation of Solvency II increased costs for the holding company to EUR 150 million in the first six months of 2011.
Net income
Net income decreased to EUR 731 million. Higher net income for the Americas and New Markets was offset by lower net income for the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Other charges amounted to EUR 19 million and are mostly related to the annual Hungarian bank tax of EUR 20 million and restructuring charges in the United Kingdom (EUR 23 million), the Netherlands (EUR 18 million) and New Markets (EUR 9 million). These charges are partly offset by a EUR 37 million benefit related to the settlement of legal claims.
Run-off businesses
As of the first quarter of 2011, AEGON’s run-off line of business in the Americas comprises the institutional spread-based business, structured settlement pay-out annuities, BOLI/COLI and life reinsurance. The results of the combined run-off businesses for the first six months of 2011 increased to EUR 32 million, mainly as a result of a lower amortization yield paid on internally transferred assets related to the institutional spread-based business, favorable mortality results in the pay-out annuities block of business and strong BOLI/COLI earnings.

Income tax
Tax charges for the first six months of 2011 amounted to EUR 122 million. These charges included EUR 21 million in tax benefits related to cross-border intercompany reinsurance transactions and one-time tax credits the United States and the United Kingdom totaling EUR 38 million.
Return on equity
In the first half of 2011, AEGON’s return on equity declined to 8.0%, mainly the result of higher average shareholders’ equity excluding revaluation reserves. The increase in average shareholders’ equity was mainly the result of an equity issue of EUR 0.9 billion in February 2011.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased 2% to EUR 1,684 million. Cost savings in AEGON’s established markets were more than offset by restructuring charges in these businesses. At constant currencies and excluding restructuring charges and employee benefit plans, operating expenses remained level.
Sales
AEGON’s total sales decreased 8% to EUR 2.7 billion. New life sales declined mainly as a result of lower production in the United Kingdom and the Americas following repricing of products, only partly offset by growth in Central & Eastern Europe and the Netherlands. Growth of gross deposits in the Americas was offset mainly as a result of a weakening of the US dollar, lower asset management inflows and less savings account deposits in the Netherlands.
Value of new business
Compared with the first six months of 2010, the value of new business declined 20% to EUR 221 million. This was the result of higher mortgage-related funding costs and updated mortality assumptions in the Netherlands, lower new business volumes in the United Kingdom and Spain, discontinuance of new mandatory pension sales in Hungary and unfavorable currency exchange rates.
Revenue-generating investments
Revenue-generating investments declined compared with the end of 2010 to EUR 391 billion, the result
primarily of weakening of the US dollar against the euro and over EUR 2 billion of pension assets that have been transferred to the Hungarian State during the second quarter 2011.
Capital management
At June 30, 2011, AEGON’s core capital position, excluding revaluation reserves, amounted to EUR 15.9 billion, equivalent to 73% of the company’s total capital base. The decline from the year-end 2010 was mainly due to the repurchase of EUR 1,500 million of convertible core capital securities from the Dutch State, related premium of EUR 750 million and unfavorable currency movements, partly offset by net income of EUR 0.7 billion and an equity issue of EUR 0.9 billion in February 2011. AEGON aims the proportion of core capital to be at least 75% of total capital by the end of 2012.
Shareholders’ equity declined compared with yearend 2010 at EUR 16.8 billion as net income and the proceeds of the equity issue were offset by the premium paid on the repurchase of the final tranche of convertible core capital securities from the Dutch State in addition to unfavorable currency movements.
The revaluation reserves at June 30, 2011 remained level compared with year-end 2010 at EUR 1 billion.
AEGON aims to maintain at least 1.5 times holding expenses as a buffer at the holding, equivalent to approximately EUR 900 million. During the first six months of 2011, excess capital in the holding decreased to EUR 1 billion as a result of a EUR 2.25 billion payment to the Dutch State only partly offset by dividends received from the company’s operating units and an equity issue of EUR 0.9 billion.
At June 30, 2011, AEGON’s Insurance Group Directive (IGD) ratio amounted to approximately 200%.
Cash flows
AEGON’s subsidiaries generated EUR 1,103 million in operational cash flows during the first half of 2011. After deduction of EUR 556 million for investments in new business, operational free cash flow totaled EUR 547 million for the period.

Notes:
-
1) For segment reporting purposes underlying earnings before tax, net underlying earnings, commissions and expenses, operating expenses, income tax including associated companies, income before tax including associated companies and value of new business (VNB) are calculated by consolidating on a proportionate basis the revenues and expenses of certain of our associated companies in Spain, India, Brazil and Mexico. We believe that our non-IFRS measures provide meaningful information about the underlying operating results of our business including insight into the financial measures that our senior management uses in managing our business. Among other things our senior management is compensated based in part on AEGON's results against targets using the non-IFRS measures presented here. While other insurers in our peer group present substantially similar non-IFRS measures, the non-IFRS measures presented in this document may nevertheless differ from the non-IFRS measures presented by other insurers. There is no standardized meaning to these measures under IFRS or any other recognized set of accounting standards and readers are cautioned to consider carefully the different ways in which we and our peers present similar information before comparing them. AEGON believes the non-IFRS measures shown herein, when read together with our reported IFRS financial statements, provide meaningful supplemental information for the investing public to evaluate AEGON’s business after eliminating the impact of current IFRS accounting policies for financial instruments and insurance contracts, which embed a number of accounting policy alternatives that companies may select in presenting their results (i.e. companies can use different local GAAPs) and that can make the comparability from period to period difficult. For a definition of underlying earnings and the reconciliation from underlying earnings before tax to income before tax we refer to Note 3 "Segment information" of our Condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
-
2) Net income refers to net income attributable to equity holders of AEGON N.V. and minority interest.
-
3) Sales is defined as new recurring premiums plus 1/10 of single premiums plus 1/10 of gross deposits plus new premium production accident and health plus new premium production general insurance.
-
4) The present value of future distributable earnings on the block of business sold in the reporting period. Value of new business is calculated using beginning of year economic assumptions and assumptions outside of management control, and beginning of quarter operating assumptions
-
5) Return on equity is calculated by dividing the net underlying earnings after cost of leverage by the average shareholders' equity excluding the preferred shares and the revaluation reserve.
6) Capital securities that are denominated in foreign currencies are, for purposes of calculating the capital base ratio, revalued to the period-end exchange rate. All ratios exclude AEGON's revaluation reserve.
-
7) Included in other income/(charges) are charges made to policyholders with respect to income tax in the United Kingdom. 8) Includes production on investment contracts without a discretionary participation feature of which the proceeds are not recognized as revenues but are directly added to our investment contract liabilities.
-
9) APE = recurring premium + 1/10 single premium.
-
10) PVNBP: Present Value New Business Premium.
11) Reconciliation of operating expenses, used for segment reporting, to our IFRS based operating expenses.

13) Operational free cash flow reflect the sum of the return on free surplus, earnings on in-force business, release of required surplus on in-force business reduced by new business first year strain and required surplus on new business. Refer to our Embedded Value 2010 report for further details.
-
a) The calculation of the IGD (Insurance Group Directive) capital surplus and ratio are based on Solvency I capital requirements on IFRS for entities within the EU (Pillar 1 for AEGON UK), and local regulatory solvency measurements for non-EU entities. Specifically, required capital for the life insurance companies in the US is calculated as two times the upper end of the Company Action Level range (200%) as applied by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in the US. The calculation of the IGD ratio excludes the available and required capital of the UK With-Profit funds. In the UK solvency surplus calculation the local regulator only allows the available capital number of the With-Profit funds included in overall local available capital to be equal to the amount of With-Profit funds' required capital.
-
b) The results in this release are unaudited.
-
c) The comparative 2010 earnings and sales information has been revised to reflect the transfer of the Life Reinsurance and BOLI/COLI businesses to the Run-off businesses line to make the information consistent with the current period figures.

DISCLAIMERS
Cautionary note regarding non-GAAP measures
This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures: underlying earnings before tax and value of new business. The reconciliation of underlying earnings before tax to the most comparable IFRS measure is provided in Note 3 "Segment information" of our Condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Value of new business is not based on IFRS, which are used to report AEGON's primary financial statements and should not viewed as a substitute for IFRS financial measures. We may define and calculate value of new business differently than other companies. Please see AEGON’s Embedded Value Report dated May 12, 2011 for an explanation of how we define and calculate. AEGON believes that these non-GAAP measures, together with the IFRS information, provide a meaningful measure for the investment community to evaluate AEGON’s business relative to the businesses of our peers.
Local currencies and constant currency exchange rates
This document contains certain information about our results and financial condition in USD for the Americas and GBP for the United Kingdom, because those businesses operate and are managed primarily in those currencies. Certain comparative information presented on a constant currency basis eliminates the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. None of this information is a substitute for or superior to financial information about us presented in EUR, which is the currency of our primary financial statements.

the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and those financial instruments (including derivatives) and financial liabilities that have been measured at fair value. the condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the executive Board on august 10, 2011.
the published figures in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.
the following standards, interpretations, amendments to standards and interpretations became effective in 2011:
-
amendment to ias 24 - related party disclosures.
-
amendment to ifrs 1 - first time adoption.
-
amendment to ifric 14 - prepayments of a minimum funding requirement.
-
amendment to ias 32 - classification of rights issues.
-
ifric 19 - extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments.
-
improvements to ifrs (2010).
none of these new or revised standards and interpretations had a significant effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2011.

Exchange rates
the following exchange rates are applied for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements: income statement items: average rate 1 eur = usD 1.4025 (2010: usD 1.3279); 1 eur = gBp 0.8670 (2010: gBp 0.8696).

non-ifrs measures
this report includes the non-ifrs financial measure: underlying earnings before tax. the reconciliation of this measure to the most comparable ifrs measure is presented in the tables in this note. this non-ifrs measure is calculated by consolidating on a proportionate basis the revenues and expenses of our associated companies in spain, india, Brazil and mexico. aegon believes that its non-ifrs measure provides meaningful information about the underlying operating results of our business including insight into the financial measures that senior management uses in managing the business.
among other things our senior management is compensated based in part on aegon’s results against targets using the non-ifrs measure presented here. While many other insurers in our peer group present substantially similar non-ifrs measures, the non-ifrs measure presented in this document may nevertheless differ from the nonifrs measures presented by other insurers. there is no standardized meaning to these measures under ifrs or any other recognized set of accounting standards and readers are cautioned to consider carefully the different ways in which aegon and its peers present similar information before comparing them.
aegon believes the non-ifrs measure shown herein, when read together with our reported ifrs financial statements, provides meaningful supplemental information for the investing public to evaluate aegon’s business after eliminating the impact of current ifrs accounting policies for financial instruments and insurance contracts, which embed a number of accounting policy alternatives that companies may select in presenting their results (i.e. companies can use different local gaaps) and that can make the comparability from period to period difficult.
Underlying earnings
certain assets held by aegon americas, aegon the netherlands and aegon uK are carried at fair value and managed on a total return basis, with no offsetting changes in the valuation of related liabilities. these include assets such as investments in hedge funds, private equities, real estate limited partnerships, convertible bonds and
structured products. underlying earnings exclude any overor underperformance compared to management’s long-term expected return on assets. Based on current holdings and asset returns, the long-term expected return on an annual basis is 8-10%, depending on asset class, including cash income and market value changes. the expected earnings from these asset classes are net of deferred policy acquisition costs (Dpac) where applicable.
in addition, certain products offered by aegon americas contain guarantees and are reported on a fair value basis, including the segregated funds offered by aegon canada and the total return annuities and guarantees on variable annuities of aegon usa. the earnings on these products are impacted by movements in equity markets and risk free interest rates. short-term developments in the financial markets may therefore cause volatility in earnings. included in underlying earnings is a long-term expected return on these products and excluded is any over- or underperformance compared to management’s expected return. the fair value movements of certain guarantees and the fair value change of derivatives that hedge certain risks on these guarantees of aegon the netherlands and Variable annuities europe (included in new markets) are excluded from underlying earnings, the long-term expected return for these guarantees is set at zero.
Holding and other activities include certain issued bonds that are held at fair value through profit or loss. the interest rate risk on these bonds is hedged using swaps. the fair value movement resulting from changes in aegon’s credit spread used in the valuation of these bonds are excluded from underlying earnings and reported under fair value items.
Fair value items
fair value items include the over- or underperformance of investments and guarantees held at fair value for which the expected long-term return is included in underlying earnings.
in addition, hedge ineffectiveness on hedge transactions, fair value changes on economic hedges without natural offset in earnings and for which no hedge accounting is applied and fair value movements on real estate are included under fair value items.

on april 14, 2011, aegon the netherlands sold eur 1.5 billion class a residential mortgage backed securities (rmBs) to a broad group of institutional investors. these securities consist of two tranches:
-
eur 375 million of class a1 notes with an expected weighted average life of 1.9 years and priced at par with a coupon of three month euribor plus 0.95 %.
-
eur 1,125 million of class a2 notes with an expected weighted average life of 4.9 years and priced at par with a coupon of three month euribor plus 1.35 %.
the securities were issued under the Dutch saecure program. the net proceeds were used to finance a part of the existing Dutch mortgage portfolio of aegon the netherlands.
Debentures and other loans increased due to the sale of these residential mortgage backed securities, partly offset by redemptions and negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates.
included in Debentures and other loans is eur 960 million relating to borrowings measured at fair value (2010: eur 987 million).
commercial paper, short term deposits and Bank overdrafts vary with the normal course of business.

there have been no material changes in contingent assets and liabilities reported in the 2010 consolidated financial statements of aegon.
19. events after the balance sheet date
effective July 1, 2011, aegon entered into a joint venture contract with unnim, the entity which was created by the merger of caixa terrassa, caixa sabadell and caixa manlleu. aegon spain is the sole insurance partner of unnim to provide life and pension insurance products.
on July 26, 2011, the amsterdam court of appeal, an intermediate appeals court, ruled with respect to a specific aegon unit-linked product (Koersplan).
entailed an obligation on the part of customers to pay a premium for a death benefit.
However, the court ruled that aegon should have more clearly informed its customers about the amount of premium which the company charged in relation to the embedded death benefit. aegon acknowledges that its level of communication could have been better at the time and has subsequently taken steps to substantially improve its communications with customers.
the amsterdam court of appeal accepted aegon's positions that Koersplan products sold during the period 1989-1998

in its decision, the court ruled that customers are required to pay a reasonable premium. However, the court went on to define what it considers to be a reasonable premium at a level below that charged by aegon. the court based its decision on a single industry example, which aegon believes is not representative. it is aegon’s view that, based on the arguments presented, the court's ruling was wrongly decided. aegon will appeal the decision to the supreme court in the netherlands.
on august 9, 2011, aegon completed the previously announced divestment of its life reinsurance business, transamerica reinsurance (tare), to scor. the divestment resulted in a total after-tax consideration of usD 1.4 billion, consisting of cash proceeds of usD 0.9 billion and a capital release of usD 0.5 billion.
aegon has retained certain blocks of business consisting primarily of variable annuity guarantee products with a book value of usD 0.4 billion.
the divestment of tare consists of a series of reinsurance agreements between various statutory insurance entities and scor for the us domestic business. in addition, scor has acquired transamerica international reinsurance ireland (tiri), a company that includes reinsurance contracts that are assumed by aegon us domestic companies which have been retroceded to tiri, and has taken over the operational assets and systems of tare.
structuring the transaction as a reinsurance arrangement leaves aegon exposed to a counter-party risk of scor not performing on the reinsurance contracts as the business matures. for such an event, certain levels of collateral related to the reinsured contracts have been placed in trust for aegon’s benefit. scor is rated a2/a by moody’s and standard & poor’s, both with positive outlooks.
the transaction will be accounted for primarily as a reinsurance transaction between aegon and scor. certain fixed assets and certain investment assets will be transferred with any related gain (loss) being recognized. as a result, the divestment will have no significant impact on shareholders’ equity. earnings on the business retained as well as amortization of the prepaid cost of reinsurance asset will be reflected in the run-off businesses line in aegon’s segment reporting.
the reinsurance business being retained by aegon, which is comprised primarily of the variable annuity guarantee business, is substantially hedged for financial market risks and produces normalized results which are negligible. in addition, various administration, service and asset management contracts are part of the transaction. the combined result, consisting primarily of the amortization of the prepaid cost of reinsurance, is approximately usD 40 million before tax per annum initially. these costs are expected to trend down as the contracts mature. transamerica reinsurance realized underlying earnings before tax of usD 105 million in 2010.
the business residing in transamerica international reinsurance, Bermuda (tire) has been retroceded to scor. tire will continue to provide reserve credit security for redundant reserves to aegon usa’s ceding companies. aegon will maintain approximately half of the collateral requirements needed for reinsurance reserve financing. this obligation provides reserve credit security and will run-off over approximately 15 years.

review report
introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 of aegon n.V., the Hague, as set out on pages 2 to 19, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2011 and the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated cash flow statement, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the related notes for the six month period then ended. We have not reviewed the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of changes in equity for the three month period ended as at June 30, 2011 and 2010. management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with ias 34, ‘interim financial reporting’ as adopted by the european union and as issued by the international accounting standards Board. our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.
a review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. a review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Dutch auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with ias 34, ‘interim financial reporting’, as adopted by the european union as issued by the international accounting standards Board.
the Hague, august 10, 2011
