Forward looking and cautionary statements
Certain statements
made by the company which are not historical facts may be considered
forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements as
to non-GAAP operating earnings, net income attributable to PFG, net cash
flows, realized and unrealized gains and losses, capital and liquidity
positions, sales and earnings trends, and management's beliefs,
expectations, goals and opinions. The company does not undertake to
update these statements, which are based on a number of assumptions
concerning future conditions that may ultimately prove to be inaccurate.
Future events and their effects on the company may not be those
anticipated, and actual results may differ materially from the results
anticipated in these forward-looking statements. The risks,
uncertainties and factors that could cause or contribute to such
material differences are discussed in the company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2017, filed by the company with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as updated or supplemented
from time to time in subsequent filings. These risks and uncertainties
include, without limitation: adverse capital and credit market
conditions may significantly affect the company's ability to meet
liquidity needs, access to capital and cost of capital; conditions in
the global capital markets and the economy generally; volatility or
declines in the equity, bond or real estate markets; changes in interest
rates or credit spreads or a sustained low interest rate environment;
the company's investment portfolio is subject to several risks that may
diminish the value of its invested assets and the investment returns
credited to customers; the company's valuation of investments and the
determination of the amount of allowances and impairments taken on such
investments may include methodologies, estimations and assumptions that
are subject to differing interpretations; any impairments of or
valuation allowances against the company's deferred tax assets; the
company's actual experience could differ significantly from its pricing
and reserving assumptions; the pattern of amortizing the company's DAC
and other actuarial balances on its universal life-type insurance
contracts, participating life insurance policies and certain investment
contracts may change; changes in laws, regulations or accounting
standards; the company may not be able to protect its intellectual
property and may be subject to infringement claims; the company's
ability to pay stockholder dividends and meet its obligations may be
constrained by the limitations on dividends Iowa insurance laws impose
on Principal Life; litigation and regulatory investigations; from time
to time the company may become subject to tax audits, tax litigation or
similar proceedings, and as a result it may owe additional taxes,
interest and penalties in amounts that may be material; applicable laws
and the company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws may
discourage takeovers and business combinations that some stockholders
might consider in their best interests; competition, including from
companies that may have greater financial resources, broader arrays of
products, higher ratings and stronger financial performance; a downgrade
in the company's financial strength or credit ratings; client
terminations, withdrawals or changes in investor preferences; inability
to attract and retain qualified employees and sales representatives and
develop new distribution sources; an interruption in telecommunication,
information technology or other systems, or a failure to maintain the
confidentiality, integrity or availability of data residing on such
systems; international business risks; fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates; the company may need to fund deficiencies in its "Closed
Block" assets; the company's reinsurers could default on their
obligations or increase their rates; risks arising from acquisitions of
businesses; and loss of key vendor relationships or failure of a vendor
to protect information of our customers or employees.
Use of Non-GAAP financial measures
The company uses a number
of non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful to
investors because they illustrate the performance of normal, ongoing
operations, which is important in understanding and evaluating the
company's financial condition and results of operations. They are not,
however, a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial measures. Therefore, the
company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the
most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure at the end of the release.
The company adjusts U.S. GAAP measures for items not directly related to
ongoing operations. However, it is possible these adjusting items
have occurred in the past and could recur in future reporting periods.
Management also uses non-GAAP measures for goal setting, as a basis for
determining employee and senior management awards and compensation, and
evaluating performance on a basis comparable to that used by investors
and securities analysts.

*U.S. GAAP (GAAP) net income attributable to PFG versus non-GAAP operating earnings
Management uses non-GAAP operating earnings, which is a financial measure that excludes the effect of net realized capital gains and losses, as adjusted, and other after-tax adjustments the company believes are not indicative of overall operating trends, for goal setting, as a basis for determining employee and senior management awards and compensation, and evaluating performance on a basis comparable to that used by investors and securities analysts. Note: it is possible these adjusting items have occurred in the past and could recur in future reporting periods. While these items may be significant components in understanding and assessing our consolidated financial performance, management believes the presentation of non-GAAP operating earnings enhances the understanding of results of operations by highlighting earnings attributable to the normal, ongoing operations of the company's businesses.
