Genworth Australia Finalizes Premium Earning Pattern and Updates FY2017 Guidance
RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Genworth Financial, Inc. (NYSE: GNW) (Genworth) today announced that its majority owned subsidiary, Genworth Mortgage Insurance Australia Limited (GMA), issued a press release reporting that it had finalized its annual review of the premium earning pattern or earnings curve. GMA will modify the premium earning pattern in line with the conclusions of this review. As a result, the change, in the aggregate, will lengthen the average duration of the period over which GMA recognizes its revenue, but it does not affect the total amount of revenue earned over time from premiums already written. GMA included in its press release the estimated impact of the modification on its fourth quarter financial results, including minimal impact to its regulatory solvency ratio, as well as resulting changes to its 2017 full year outlook.
Genworth continues to review the financial impact of GMA's modified earning pattern on its consolidated financial statements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Genworth's treatment of GMA's modified earnings pattern under U.S. GAAP may be different than GMA's treatment under Australian GAAP with the result that the financial impact to Genworth may be materially different than that recognized by GMA. Genworth expects to announce its conclusion with its results for the fourth quarter of 2017.
