The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The company cited a decrease in the burden of additional standard policy reserves related to the first year of new business, an increase in dividends from equities and alternative investments, an increase in positive spread exceeding the decrease in interest and dividend income from bonds, a decrease in required interest, and a decrease in business expenses and other costs. The decline in new business was attributed to factors including lower sales of single-premium whole life insurance.
