Insurance and Financial Services:

First quarter Fiscal 2013 insurance total product sales were $254.9 million compared to $372.5 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2012. The decrease reflects product and pricing changes made by FGL to the core fixed index annuity portfolio to maintain target profitability. Due to these product revisions during calendar year 2012, fixed indexed annuities (“FIA”) product sales declined 29% to $243.1 million compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2012.

FGL continues to maintain its position in the top-ten industry ranking for FIA sales with total FIA sales in the last twelve months of more than $1.5 billion compared with $781.1 million for the twelve months prior to the end of first quarter Fiscal 2012, driven by the success of FGL's flagship product Prosperity Elite ^SM.
