PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 (UNAUDITED) 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Principal Financial Group, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries ("the Company") have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited financial statements as of December 31, 2001, included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2001, has been derived from the audited consolidated statement of financial position but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 2001, and March 31, 2001, financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2002, presentation. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS At March 31, 2002, the Separate Accounts included a separate account valued at $1.1 billion which primarily included shares of the Company's stock that were allocated and issued to eligible participants of qualified employee benefit plans administered by the Company as part of the policy credits issued under the Company's demutualization. These shares are included in both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. The separate account shares are recorded at fair value and are reported as separate account assets and separate account liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. Activity of the separate account shares is reflected in both the separate account assets and separate account liabilities and does not impact the Company's results of operations. ACCOUNTING CHANGES In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS ("SFAS 141"), and SFAS No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets arising from business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142, effective January 1, 2002, prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Intangible assets with finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Additionally, SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually. This includes a more stringent impairment test methodology for measuring and recognizing impairment losses. During the fourth quarter of 2001, each operating segment of the Company completed initial valuations of goodwill and intangible assets, as set forth in the guidelines of SFAS 142. The valuation was performed using discounted cash flow methodologies and applying a series of variable parameters and assumptions to deliver operating cash flow projections. Due to changes in funds under management, business conditions and economic outlook, the Company recognized an after-tax impairment amount of $280.9 million upon the adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. 8

PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 (UNAUDITED) 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (1) For purposes of the Company's unaudited basic and diluted pro-forma earnings per share calculations, the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2001, was assumed to be 360.8 million shares. These shares represent 260.8 million shares issued to policyholders entitled to receive compensation in the demutualization and 100.0 million shares sold to investors in the initial public offering ("IPO"), effective October 26, 2001. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS ("SFAS 144"). This Statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, and amends Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30, REPORTING THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - REPORTING THE EFFECTS OF DISPOSAL OF A SEGMENT OF A BUSINESS, AND EXTRAORDINARY, UNUSUAL AND INFREQUENTLY OCCURRING EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS ("Opinion 30"), establishing a single accounting model for the disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 generally retains the basic provisions of existing guidance, but broadens the presentation of any discontinued operations to include a component of an entity (rather than a segment of a business as defined in Opinion 30). The Company adopted SFAS 144 on January 1, 2002, which did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ("SFAS 133"). In June 1999, SFAS No. 137, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES - DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133 was issued deferring the effective date of SFAS 133 by one year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND CERTAIN HEDGING ACTIVITIES - AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133, which amended the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS 133 for certain derivative instruments and certain hedging activities. As amended, SFAS 133 requires, among other things, that all derivatives be recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position as either assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value. SFAS 133 also established special accounting for qualifying hedges, which allows for matching the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the corresponding changes in value of the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of a derivative qualifying as a hedge are recognized in earnings or directly in stockholders' equity depending on the instrument's intended use. For derivatives that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in SFAS 133, changes in fair value are required to be recognized in earnings in the period of change.

MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS, AND DIVESTITURES DIVESTITURES On February 1, 2002, the Company sold its remaining stake of 15.1 million shares in Coventry Health Care, Inc. ("Coventry") common stock and a warrant, exercisable for 3.1 million shares of Coventry common stock. Total proceeds from the completion of this transaction were $325.2 million and the Company recognized a net realized capital gain of $182.8 million. 4. CLOSED BLOCK In connection with its 1998 mutual insurance holding company formation, Principal Life Insurance Company ("Principal Life") formed and began operating a closed block ("Closed Block") for the benefit of individual participating dividend-paying policies in force on that date. As of March 31, 2002, cumulative actual earnings, including consideration of net unrealized gains, has been less than cumulative expected earnings. Therefore, no policyholder dividend obligation has been recognized.

SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company provides financial products and services through the following segments: U.S. Asset Management and Accumulation, International Asset Management and Accumulation, Life and Health Insurance and Mortgage Banking. In addition, there is a Corporate and Other segment. The segments are managed and reported separately because they provide different products and services, have different strategies or have different markets and distribution channels. The U.S. Asset Management and Accumulation segment provides retirement and related financial products and services primarily to businesses, their employees and other individuals and provides asset management services to the Company's asset accumulation business, the life and health insurance operations and third-party clients. The International Asset Management and Accumulation segment provides asset management products and services to retail clients in Australia and institutional clients throughout the world and provides life insurance and retirement and related financial products and services primarily to businesses, their employees and other individuals principally in Australia, Chile, Brazil, New Zealand, Mexico, India, Japan, Argentina and Hong Kong. The Life and Health insurance segment provides individual life and disability insurance to the owners and employees of businesses and other individuals in the U.S. and provides group life and health insurance to businesses in the U.S. The Mortgage Banking segment originates and services residential mortgage loan products for customers primarily in the U.S. 14

PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 (UNAUDITED) 6. SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED) The Corporate and Other segment manages the assets representing capital that has not been allocated to any other segment. Financial results of the Corporate and Other segment primarily reflect financing activities for the Company, income on capital not allocated to other segments, intersegment eliminations and non-recurring or other income or expenses not allocated to the segments based on review of the nature of such items. The Corporate and Other segment includes an equity ownership interest in Coventry. The ownership interest was sold on February 1, 2002, described further in Note 3. The Corporate and Other segment's equity in earnings of Coventry, which was included in net investment income, was $2.1 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company evaluates segment performance on segment operating earnings, which is determined by adjusting U.S. GAAP net income for net realized capital gains and losses, as adjusted, and non-recurring items which management believes are not indicative of overall operating trends. Net realized capital gains, as adjusted, are net of tax, related changes in the amortization pattern of deferred policy acquisition costs, recognition of front-end fee revenues for sales charges on pension products and services, net realized capital gains credited to customers and certain market value adjustments to fee revenues. Segment operating revenues exclude net realized capital gains and their impact on recognition of front-end fee revenues. While these items may be significant components in understanding and assessing the consolidated financial performance, management believes the presentation of segment operating earnings enhances the understanding of the Company's results of operations by highlighting earnings attributable to the normal, recurring operations of the business. However, segment operating earnings are not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company excluded $282.9 million of non-recurring items, net of income taxes, including the negative effects of: (1) a cumulative effect of accounting change related to the implementation of SFAS 142 ($280.9 million); and (2) expenses related to the demutualization ($2.0 million). For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company excluded $20.5 million of non-recurring items, net of income taxes, including the negative effects of: (1) a cumulative effect of accounting change related to the implementation of SFAS 133 ($10.7 million); (2) an increase in the loss contingency reserve established for sales practices litigation ($5.9 million); and (3) expenses related to demutualization ($3.9 million). The accounting policies of the segments are similar to those of the Company, with the exception of capital allocation. The Company allocates capital to its segments based upon an internal capital model that allows management to more effectively manage the Company's capital. 15

PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2002 (UNAUDITED) 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY COMMON STOCK On February 26, 2002, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $450.0 million of the Company's common stock. The repurchases will be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions from time to time, depending on market conditions. As part of the repurchase program, the Company sold "put options" for a premium of $3.6 million, which obligates the Company to repurchase a total of 3.0 million shares at an aggregate cost of $76.9 million three months after the issuance of the contracts, if the fixed price is higher than the market price. If the fixed price is lower than the market price on those dates, then the options expire and there is no obligation for the Company to repurchase its common stock. The proceeds from the put transactions were reported as additional paid-in capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company purchased 1.2 million shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $29.6 million. In addition, the Company reissued treasury stock held in the rabbi trust during the three months ended March 31, 2002. The reissuance generated proceeds of $8.0 million, with a cost of $6.7 million. 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE After the Company's IPO, effective October 26, 2001, SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, was adopted, which requires disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share. Reconciliations of weighted-average shares outstanding and net income for basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2002, are presented below: FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 ------------------------------- WEIGHTED AVERAGE PER SHARE INCOME SHARES AMOUNT -------- ---------- ----------- (IN MILLIONS) Basic earnings per share: Income before cumulative effect of accounting change............ $246.0 360.4 $0.68 Dilutive effects: Stock options .................. - 0.3 - Put options (1).............. - - - ======== ========= =========== Diluted earnings per share.......... $246.0 360.7 $0.68 ======== ========= =========== ------------------- (1) Of the three put option contracts, the dilutive effect of two of the contracts did not meet specified reporting thresholds. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2002, excludes the incremental effect related to the third put option contract. This contract's strike price is lower than the average market price of the Company's stock during the period the contract has been outstanding, resulting in an anti-dilutive effect. 18

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following analysis discusses our financial condition as of March 31, 2002, compared with December 31, 2001, and our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"). The discussion and analysis includes, where appropriate, factors that may affect our future financial performance. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2001, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the financial statements and the other financial information included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION Our narrative analysis below contains forward-looking statements intended to enhance the reader's ability to assess our future financial performance. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that represent our beliefs concerning future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments, and contain words and phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to the following: (1) competition from companies that may have greater financial resources, broader arrays of products, higher ratings and stronger financial performance may impair our ability to retain existing customers, attract new customers and maintain our profitability; (2) a decline or increased volatility in the securities markets could result in investors withdrawing from the markets or decreasing their rates of investment, either of which could reduce our net income, revenues and assets under management; (3) a downgrade in Principal Life Insurance Company's ("Principal Life") financial strength ratings may increase policy surrenders and withdrawals, reduce new sales and terminate relationships with distributors; (4) our efforts to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on our profitability and surplus may not be effective; (5) if we are unable to attract and retain sales representatives and develop new distribution sources, sales of our products and services may be reduced; (6) our international businesses face political, legal, operational and other risks that could reduce our profitability in those businesses; (7) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could reduce our profitability; (8) a decline in Australian equity values may reduce the profitability of BT Financial Group; (9) our reserves established for future policy benefits and claims may prove inadequate, requiring us to increase liabilities; (10) our investment portfolio is subject to several risks which may diminish the value of our invested assets and affect our sales, profitability and the investment returns credited to our customers; (11) our ability to pay stockholder dividends and meet our obligations may be constrained by the limitations on dividends Iowa insurance laws impose on Principal Life; (12) we may need to fund deficiencies in our closed block ("Closed Block") assets allocated to the Closed Block which benefit only the holders of Closed Block policies; (13) changes in regulations or accounting standards may reduce our profitability; (14) litigation and regulatory investigations may harm our financial strength and reduce our profitability; (15) a challenge to the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Iowa's approval of the plan of conversion could put the terms of our demutualization in question and reduce the market price of our common stock; (16) applicable laws and our stockholder rights plan, certificate of incorporation and by-laws may discourage takeovers and business combinations that our stockholders might consider in their best interests; and (17) a downgrade in our debt ratings may adversely affect our ability to secure funds. OVERVIEW We are a leading provider of retirement savings, investment and insurance products and services. We have four operating segments: o U.S. Asset Management and Accumulation, which consists of our asset accumulation operations providing retirement savings and related investment products and services, and our asset management operations which are conducted through Principal Capital Management, our U.S.-based asset manager. We provide a comprehensive portfolio of asset accumulation products and services to businesses and individuals in the U.S., with a concentration on small and medium-sized businesses, which we define as businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees. We offer to businesses products and services for defined contribution pension plans, including 401(k) and 403(b) plans, defined benefit pension plans and non-qualified executive benefit plans. We also offer annuities, mutual funds and bank products and services to the employees of our business customers and other individuals. 19
10-Q20th Page of 90TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 20th
o International Asset Management and Accumulation, which consists of BT Financial Group, our Australia-based asset manager, and Principal International, which offers retirement products and services, annuities, mutual funds and life insurance through subsidiaries in Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Hong Kong and joint ventures in Brazil, Japan and India. o Life and Health Insurance, which provides individual life and disability insurance as well as group life and health insurance throughout the U.S. Our individual insurance products include interest-sensitive life, traditional life and disability insurance. Our group insurance products include life, disability, medical, dental and vision insurance, and administrative services. o Mortgage Banking, which engages in originating, purchasing, selling and servicing residential mortgage loans in the U.S. We also have a Corporate and Other segment which consists of the assets and activities that have not been allocated to any other segment. TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ACQUISITIONS We acquired the following business, among others, during 2001: SPECTRUM ASSET MANAGEMENT. On October 1, 2001, Spectrum Asset Management became an affiliate of Principal Capital Management, LLC. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and the results of operations of the acquired business have been included in our financial statements from the date of acquisition. We included revenues of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, in our consolidated results of operations. DISPOSITIONS We entered into dispositions or disposed of the following businesses, among others, during 2002 and 2001: COVENTRY HEALTH CARE. On February 1, 2002, we sold our remaining stake of 15.1 million shares of Coventry Health Care, Inc. ("Coventry") common stock and a warrant, exercisable for 3.1 million shares of Coventry common stock. We received proceeds of $325.2 million, resulting in a net realized capital gain of $182.8 million, or $114.4 million net of income taxes. We reported our investment in Coventry in our Corporate and Other segment and accounted for it using the equity method prior to its sale. Our share of Coventry's net income was $2.1 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. PT ASURANSI JIWA PRINCIPAL INDONESIA. On September 25, 2001, we disposed of all the stock of PT Asuransi Jiwa Principal Indonesia, our subsidiary in Indonesia. We currently have no business operations in Indonesia. We received nominal proceeds, which resulted in a realized capital loss of $6.7 million. We included nominal revenues and net loss from our operations in Indonesia in our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001. PRINCIPAL INTERNATIONAL ESPANA, S.A. DE SEGUROS DE VIDA. On February 15, 2001, we disposed of all of the stock of Principal International Espana, S.A. de Seguros de Vida, our subsidiary in Spain, for nominal proceeds, resulting in a realized capital loss of $38.4 million, or $21.0 million net of income taxes, ceasing our business operations in Spain. We did not include revenues or net income from our operations in Spain in our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. 20

REINSURANCE TRANSACTIONS Effective January 1, 2002, we entered into a reinsurance agreement to reinsure group medical insurance contracts, which should result in reduced volatility of our group medical insurance earnings. The reinsurance agreement resulted in $11.1 million of ceded premiums and $9.6 million of ceded claims for the three months ended March 31, 2002. FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY TO U.S. DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATES Fluctuations in foreign currency to U.S. dollar exchange rates for countries in which we have operations can affect reported financial results. In years when foreign currencies weaken against the U.S. dollar, translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars results in fewer U.S. dollars to be reported. When foreign currencies strengthen, translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars results in more U.S. dollars to be reported. In January 2002, the Argentine government ended its tie of the Argentine peso to the U.S. dollar, creating a dual currency system with an official fixed exchange rate of 1.4 pesos to 1.0 U.S. dollar for import and export transactions and free-floating exchange rate for other transactions, subsequently floating the Argentine peso in February. The devaluation did not materially impact our consolidated results of operations. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations create variances in our financial statement line items but have not had a material impact on our consolidated operating earnings and net income (loss). Our consolidated operating earnings were positively impacted $0.2 million and negatively impacted $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, and 2001, respectively, as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency to U.S. dollar exchange rates. For a discussion of our approaches to foreign currency exchange rate risk, see Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk." CHANGES TO OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Changes in the business environment and applicable authoritative accounting guidance require us to closely monitor our accounting policies. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, we adopted newly issued guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and changed our critical accounting policy for business combinations. ACCOUNTING FOR BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS In June 2001, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS ("SFAS 141"), and SFAS No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets arising from business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142, effective January 1, 2002, prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Intangible assets with finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Additionally, SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually. This includes a more stringent impairment test methodology for measuring and recognizing impairment losses. During the fourth quarter of 2001, each of our operating segments completed initial valuations of goodwill and intangible assets, as set forth in the guidelines of SFAS 142. The valuation was performed using discounted cash flow methodologies and applying a series of variable parameters and assumptions to deliver operating cash flow projections. Due to changes in funds under management, business conditions and economic outlook, we recognized an after-tax impairment amount of $280.9 million upon the adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. 21

The decrease reflected a $139.9 million, or 56%, decrease from the U.S. Asset Management and Accumulation segment, primarily a result of a decrease in premiums from single premium group annuities with life contingencies, which are typically used to fund defined benefit pension plan terminations. The premium income we receive from these contracts fluctuates due to the variability in the number and size of pension plan terminations in the market, the interest rate environment and our ability to attract new sales. In addition, a $33.4 million, or 4%, decrease from the Life and Health Insurance segment premiums was primarily due to the ceding of medical premiums related to a new group medical reinsurance agreement effective January 1, 2002, and due to a reclassification of revenues from our group universal life insurance product from premiums to fee revenues and the loss of a large customer in 2000. International Asset Management and Accumulation segment premiums decreased $5.2 million, or 11%, primarily resulting from reduced sales of single premium annuities with life contingencies in Mexico. Fees and other revenues increased $63.0 million, or 15%, to $476.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $413.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was primarily due to a $66.3 million, or 54%, increase from the Mortgage Banking segment primarily resulting from residential mortgage loan production fee revenues, reflecting the increase in residential mortgage loan production volume and, to a lesser extent, resulting from growth in residential mortgage loan servicing fee revenues. The increase was also due 23
10-Q24th Page of 90TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 24th
to a $12.1 million, or 19%, increase from the Life and Health Insurance segment, primarily related to growth in our individual interest-sensitive life insurance business and a reclassification of revenues from our group universal life insurance product to fee revenues from premiums. The increases were partially offset by a $16.5 million, or 23%, decrease from the International Asset Management and Accumulation segment primarily a result of declining assets under management in Australia for the three months ended March 31, 2002, divestiture of a non-core business in Australia during the latter part of 2001 and the weakening of the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. Net investment income decreased $26.5 million, or 3%, to $813.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $839.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in investment yields. The yield on average invested assets and cash was 7.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to 7.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. This reflects a decrease in investment gains on real estate due to lower sales of certain real estate held-for-sale, compared to an unusually high volume of sales during 2001. In addition, the decrease reflects lower yields on fixed maturity securities due in part to a lower interest rate environment. The decrease in investment yields was partially offset by a $1,930.0 million, or 4%, increase in average invested assets and cash. Net realized capital gains (losses) increased $179.0 million to $98.1 million of net realized capital gains for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $80.9 million of net realized capital losses for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net realized capital gains increased during the three months ended March 31, 2002, primarily due to the sale of our remaining stake in Coventry. The increase in realized capital gains was partially offset by realized capital losses on the sales of fixed maturity securities and write downs of other than temporary declines in value of certain fixed maturity securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, we realized capital losses on the sales of equity securities, a result of the decline in the equity markets, the sale of our operations in Spain, and other than temporary declines in value of certain fixed maturity securities. Benefits, claims and settlement expenses decreased $188.7 million, or 14%, to $1,203.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $1,391.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a $146.2 million, or 21%, decrease from the U.S. Asset Management and Accumulation segment, primarily reflecting a decrease in reserves resulting from a decrease in sales of single premium group annuities with life contingencies. The decrease was also due to a $35.5 million, or 6%, decrease from the Life and Health Insurance segment, due to ceded claims under a new group medical reinsurance agreement; a reduction in group medical insurance business; and improved claim experience partially offset by a reserve established due to the withdrawal of medical products from the Florida small employer market. In addition, a $4.8 million, or 8% decrease from the International Asset Management and Accumulation segment was primarily the result of a decrease in reserve changes to reflect the impact of deflation adjustments in Chile and was a result of the weakening of the Chilean peso versus the U.S. dollar. Dividends to policyholders increased $1.4 million, or 2%, to $82.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $81.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was attributable to a $1.6 million, or 57%, increase from the U.S. Asset Management and Accumulation segment, resulting from an increase in dividends for our pension full-service accumulation products. The increase was offset by a $0.2 million decrease from the Life and Health Insurance segment due to a change in the dividend scale. Operating expenses increased $8.1 million, or 1%, to $630.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $622.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was primarily due to an $83.7 million, or 101%, increase from the Mortgage Banking segment resulting from a net loss from servicing hedge activity in 2002 compared to a net gain in 2001 and due to growth in the residential mortgage loan servicing portfolio. The increase was partially offset by a $36.4 million, or 17%, decrease from the U.S. Asset Management and Accumulation segment, primarily reflecting a decrease in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs of our pension products due to unlocking. The increase was also partially offset by a $32.2 million, or 34%, decrease from the International Asset Management and Accumulation segment, in part related to the discontinuation of amortization expense in 2002 as a result of the adoption of SFAS 142. In addition, staff restructuring efforts undertaken to reduce ongoing operating expenses resulted in a 30% decrease of staff levels, resulting in a decrease in salary and incentive costs within this segment. In addition, the increase was partially offset by a $7.0 million, or 3%, decrease from the Life and Health Insurance segment primarily due to higher expenses in 2001, a result of certain expenses not expected to recur. Income taxes increased $86.2 million to $110.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $24.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The effective income tax rate was 31% for the three months ended 24
10-Q25th Page of 90TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 25th
March 31, 2002, and 17% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, were lower than the corporate income tax rate of 35% primarily due to income tax deductions allowed for corporate dividends received. The increase in the effective tax rate to 31% for the three months ended March 31,2002, from 17% for the three months ended March 31, 2001, was primarily due to the greater increase in net income before taxes relative to the increase in our permanent tax differences. In addition, our effective income tax rate was further reduced for the three months ended March 31, 2001, due to additional tax benefits related to excess tax over book capital losses realized from the sale of our operations in Spain. As a result of the foregoing factors and the inclusion of the cumulative effect of accounting changes, net of related income taxes, net income decreased $140.2 million to $34.9 million of net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $105.3 million of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The cumulative effect of accounting changes, net of related income taxes, were related to our implementation of SFAS 142 in 2002 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ("SFAS 133") in 2001. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, non-recurring items of $282.9 million, net of income taxes, included the negative effects of: (1) a cumulative effect of accounting change related to our implementation of SFAS 142 ($280.9 million); and (2) expenses related to our demutualization ($2.0 million). For the three months ended March 31, 2001, non-recurring items of $20.5 million, net of income taxes, included the negative effects of: (1) a cumulative effect of accounting change related to our implementation of SFAS 133 ($10.7 million); (2) an increase in our loss contingency reserve established for sales practices litigation ($5.9 million); and (3) expenses related to our demutualization ($3.9 million). As a result of the foregoing factors and the exclusion of net realized capital gains (losses), as adjusted and nonrecurring items, operating earnings increased $12.8 million, or 7%, to $186.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $173.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase resulted from an $11.8 million, or 28%, increase from the Life and Health Insurance segment, primarily a result of improved medical and dental loss ratios and the absence of several one-time expense items that depressed 2001 earnings. In addition, the increase resulted from an $11.4 million, or 13%, increase from the U.S. Asset Management and Accumulation segment, primarily related to a decrease in amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs of our pension products due to unlocking. An increase of $10.5 million from the International Asset Management and Accumulation segment resulted mostly from improved earnings of BT Financial Group primarily as a result of reduced operating expenses. The Mortgage Banking segment also increased $2.6 million, or 11%, primarily due to growth in earnings from residential mortgage loan production. The increases were partially offset by a $23.5 million, or 99%, decrease from the Corporate and Other segment, primarily related to a decrease in investment gains on real estate due to lower sales of certain real estate held-for-sale, compared to an unusually high volume of sales experienced in 2001. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BY SEGMENT We evaluate segment performance by segment operating earnings, which excludes the effect of net realized capital gains and losses, as adjusted, and non-recurring events and transactions. Segment operating earnings are determined by adjusting U.S. GAAP net income for net realized capital gains and losses, as adjusted, and non-recurring items that we believe are not indicative of overall operating trends. While these items may be significant components in understanding and assessing our consolidated financial performance, we believe the presentation of segment operating earnings enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting earnings attributable to the normal, recurring operations of our businesses. However, segment operating earnings are not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table presents segment information as of or for the periods indicated: 25

U.S. ASSET MANAGEMENT AND ACCUMULATION SEGMENT The following table presents certain summary financial data relating to the U.S. Asset Management and Accumulation segment for the periods indicated: FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ----------------------- 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- (IN MILLIONS) OPERATING EARNINGS DATA: Operating revenues(1): Premiums and other considerations............ $ 109.6 $ 249.5 Fees and other revenues...................... 173.7 168.5 Net investment income........................ 578.8 597.7 ---------- ---------- Total operating revenues................... 862.1 1,015.7 Expenses: Benefits, claims and settlement expenses, including dividends to policyholders........ 547.6 692.2 Operating expenses............................ 187.5 214.2 ---------- ---------- Total expenses............................. 735.1 906.4 ---------- ---------- Pre-tax operating earnings.................... 127.0 109.3 Income taxes.................................. 26.8 20.5 ---------- ---------- Operating earnings............................ 100.2 88.8 Net realized capital losses, as adjusted......

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 Premiums and other considerations decreased $139.9 million, or 56%, to $109.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $249.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease primarily resulted from a $150.5 million decrease in premiums from single premium group annuities with life contingencies, which are typically used to fund defined benefit pension plan terminations. The premium income we receive from these contracts fluctuates due to the variability in the number and size of pension plan terminations in the market, the interest rate environment and our ability to attract new sales. The decrease was partially offset by a $10.6 million increase in individual annuity premiums due to an increase in sales. Fees and other revenues increased $5.2 million, or 3%, to $173.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $168.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. An increase of $4.3 million was primarily related to an increase in gains from commercial mortgage-backed securitizations initiated by Principal Capital Management. Net investment income decreased $18.9 million, or 3%, to $578.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $597.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The yield on average invested assets and cash was 6.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to 7.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease reflects lower yields due in part to a lower interest rate environment. The decrease was partially offset by a $986.5 million, or 3%, increase in average invested assets and cash. Benefits, claims and settlement expenses, including dividends to policyholders, decreased $144.6 million, or 21%, to $547.6 million for the three months ended 28
10-Q29th Page of 90TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 29th
March 31, 2002, from $692.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. A decrease of $156.7 million in our pension business primarily reflected the decrease in sales of single premium group annuities with life contingencies. Partially offsetting the decrease was a $10.5 million increase in reserves resulting from increased individual annuity sales. Operating expenses decreased $26.7 million, or 12%, to $187.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $214.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. A decrease of $31.2 million from our pension products was due to a decrease in the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs from unlocking to reflect changes in assumptions for equity market performance and lapse rates in 2001, and changes in acquisition compensation in 2002. A decrease of $1.6 million from our individual annuity business reflects decreases in non-deferrable expenses and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. The decreases were partially offset by a $2.4 million increase from Principal Bank due primarily to growth in bank operations. Income taxes increased $6.3 million, or 31%, to $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The effective income tax rate for this segment was 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, and 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, were lower than the corporate income tax rate of 35%, primarily due to income tax deductions allowed for corporate dividends received and other tax-exempt income. As a result of the foregoing factors, operating earnings increased $11.4 million, or 13%, to $100.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $88.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net realized capital losses, as adjusted, increased $37.4 million to $44.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase includes realized capital losses related to the sales of fixed maturity securities and other than temporary declines in the value of certain fixed maturity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2002. As a result of the foregoing factors and the inclusion of non-recurring items for the three months ended March 31, 2001, net income decreased $15.2 million, or 22%, to $55.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $70.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Non-recurring items for the three months ended March 31, 2001, had a negative impact on net income of $10.8 million, net of income taxes, due to the cumulative effect of accounting change, a result of our implementation of SFAS 133. 29

INTERNATIONAL ASSET MANAGEMENT AND ACCUMULATION SEGMENT The following table presents certain summary financial data relating to the International Asset Management and Accumulation segment for the periods indicated: [Download Table] FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------------------ 2002 2001 ------------- ------------- (IN MILLIONS) OPERATING EARNINGS DATA: Operating revenues(1): Premiums and other considerations.................. $ 41.2 $ 46.4 Fees and other revenues............................ 55.4 71.9 Net investment income.............................. 24.5 26.1 ------------- ------------- Total operating revenues........................ 121.1 144.4 Expenses: Benefits, claims and settlement expenses........... 52.7 57.5 Operating expenses................................ 61.4 93.6 ------------- ------------- Total expenses................................ 114.1 151.1 ------------- ------------- Pre-tax operating earnings (loss).................... 7.0 (6.7) Income taxes (benefits).............................. 1.8 (1.4) ------------- ------------- Operating earnings (loss)............................ 5.2 (5.3) Net realized capital gains (losses), as adjusted..... 3.8 (20.3) Non-recurring items..................................

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 Premiums and other considerations decreased $5.2 million, or 11%, to $41.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $46.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Decreases of $3.4 million in Mexico and $0.8 million in Argentina were primarily a result of reduced sales of single premium annuities with life contingencies. In addition, higher sales of single premium annuities with life contingencies in Chile were more than offset by the weakening of the Chilean peso versus the U.S. dollar, resulting in a $0.7 million decrease. The premium income we receive from these contracts fluctuates due to the variability in the number of people exiting the mandatory defined contribution system as a result of disability, death, or retirement; economic activity; pricing conditions; and our ability to attract new sales. Fees and other revenues decreased $16.5 million, or 23%, to $55.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $71.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. A decrease of $17.9 million of fee revenues generated by BT Financial Group resulted from declining assets under management and a 30

changing product mix for the three months ended March 31, 2002, divestiture of a non-core business in the latter part of 2001 and, to a lesser extent, the weakening of the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. Net investment income decreased $1.6 million, or 6%, to $24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. A decrease of $1.3 million from Principal International primarily related to a decrease in average investment yields. The yield on average invested assets and cash was 6.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to 8.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in investment yields was partially due to the impact of deflation on nominal yields in Chile, which, as discussed in the next paragraph, was offset by a corresponding decrease in reserve changes. Benefits, claims and settlement expenses decreased $4.8 million, or 8%, to $52.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $57.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. A $5.5 million decrease in Chile was a result of a decrease in reserve changes to reflect the impact of deflation adjustments and a result of the weakening of the Chilean peso versus the U.S. dollar. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in reserve changes, the result of increased sales of annuity products in Chile. Operating expenses decreased $32.2 million, or 34%, to $61.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $93.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Operating expenses incurred by BT Financial Group decreased $30.8 million, in part related to the discontinuation of amortization expense in 2002 as a result of the adoption of SFAS 142. In addition, staff restructuring efforts undertaken to reduce ongoing operating expenses resulted in a 30% decrease of staff levels, resulting in a decrease in salary and incentive costs. Income taxes increased $3.2 million to $1.8 million of income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from a $1.4 million income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2001. A $3.3 million increase was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax operating earnings from BT Financial Group. As a result of the foregoing factors, operating earnings increased $10.5 million to $5.2 million of operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from a $5.3 million operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net realized capital gains (losses), as adjusted, increased $24.1 million to $3.8 million of net realized capital gains for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $20.3 million of net realized capital losses for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was primarily due to a $21.0 million after-tax net realized capital loss on the February 2001 sale of our operations in Spain. In addition, a $3.0 million increase resulted primarily from gains realized on the sale of fixed maturity securities in Chile for the three months ended March 31, 2002. As a result of the foregoing factors and the inclusion of non-recurring items for the three months ended March 31, 2002, net loss increased $241.7 million to $267.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $25.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, net loss included the effect of non-recurring items totaling $276.3 million, net of income taxes, related to the negative impact of the cumulative effect of accounting change, a result of our implementation of SFAS 142. 31

LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE SEGMENT The following table presents certain summary financial data relating to the Life and Health Insurance segment for the periods indicated: [Enlarge/Download Table] FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, --------------------------------- 2002 2001 -------------- -------------- (IN MILLIONS) OPERATING EARNINGS DATA: Operating Revenues(1): Premiums and other considerations................ $ 734.9 $ 768.3 Fees and other revenues.......................... 77.0 64.9 Net investment income............................ 166.6 169.2 -------------- -------------- Total operating revenues....................... 978.5 1,002.4 Expenses: Benefits, claims and settlement expenses......... 609.5 645.0 Dividends to policyholders....................... 78.0 78.2 Operating expenses............................... 208.4 215.2 -------------- -------------- Total expenses................................. 895.9 938.4 -------------- -------------- Pre-tax operating earnings......................... 82.6 64.0 Income taxes....................................... 28.3 21.5 -------------- -------------- Operating earnings................................. 54.3 42.5 Net realized capital losses, as adjusted...........

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 Premiums and other considerations decreased $33.4 million, or 4%, to $734.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $768.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Group life insurance premiums decreased $12.5 million, due to a reclassification of revenues from our group universal life insurance product from premium to fee revenues and the loss of a large customer in late 2000, resulting in a loss of premium after March 31, 2001. Group medical premiums declined primarily due to a reinsurance agreement effective January 1, 2002, which resulted in $11.1 million of ceded premiums to the reinsurer. In addition, group medical had a reduction in business which was offset by an increase in premium rates. Individual traditional life insurance premiums decreased $8.5 million, reflecting a continued shift in customer preference from traditional life insurance products to universal life and variable universal life insurance products. Fees and other revenues increased $12.1 million, or 19%, to $77.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $64.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Fee revenues from individual interest-sensitive life insurance products increased $7.4 million, a result of the continued shift in customer preference, as previously discussed. Group life insurance fee revenues increased $7.0 million due to a reclassification of revenues from our group universal life insurance product to fee revenues from premiums. Fee revenues from our group fee-for-service business increased $3.6 million, primarily due to additional services provided to our customers and price increases. The increases were partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in individual traditional life insurance fee revenues, primarily related to classifying fees received from reinsurance ceded for traditional life insurance as an offset to operating expenses. The fees from reinsurance were previously reported as fee revenues. 32

Net investment income decreased $2.6 million, or 2%, to $166.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $169.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease reflects lower average investment yields due in part to an overall lower interest rate environment. The yield on average invested assets and cash was 7.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to 7.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease was partially offset by a $166.0 million, or 2%, increase in average invested assets and cash. Benefits, claims and settlement expenses decreased $35.5 million, or 6%, to $609.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $645.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Group medical insurance benefits, claims and settlement expenses decreased $23.3 million, due to ceded claims under a new reinsurance agreement; a reduction in group medical insurance business; and improved claim experience, partially offset by a reserve established due to the withdrawal of medical products from the Florida small employer market. Individual traditional life insurance benefits, claims, and settlement expenses decreased $8.2 million primarily due to lower death claims. Group dental insurance benefits, claims and settlement expenses decreased $6.4 million due to improved claim experience and a decline in business. Dividends to policyholders decreased $0.2 million to $78.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $78.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease was due to a change in the dividend scale. Operating expenses decreased $6.8 million, or 3%, to $208.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $215.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Group life and health insurance operating expenses decreased $8.7 million, primarily due to higher expenses in 2001, a result of certain expenses not expected to recur. The decrease was partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in individual life and disability insurance operating expenses primarily due to increased employee benefit costs. Income taxes increased $6.8 million, or 32%, to $28.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The effective income tax rate for the segment was 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, were lower than the corporate income tax rate of 35% primarily due to tax-exempt income. As a result of the foregoing factors, operating earnings increased $11.8 million, or 28%, to $54.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $42.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net realized capital losses, as adjusted, increased $9.9 million to $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase includes realized capital losses related to sales of fixed maturity securities and other than temporary declines in the value of certain fixed maturity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2002. As a result of the foregoing factors and the inclusion of non-recurring items, net income decreased $2.8 million, or 7%, to $39.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $42.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Non-recurring items for the three months ended March 31, 2002, had a negative impact on net income of $4.6 million, net of income taxes, due to the cumulative effect of accounting change, a result of our implementation of SFAS 142. Non-recurring items for the three months ended March 31, 2001, had a positive impact on net income of $0.1 million, net of income taxes, due to the cumulative effect of accounting change, a result of our implementation of SFAS 133. 33

MORTGAGE BANKING SEGMENT The following table presents certain summary financial data relating to the Mortgage Banking segment for the periods indicated: [Download Table] FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, -------------------------------- 2002 2001 -------------- -------------- (IN MILLIONS) OPERATING EARNINGS DATA: Operating Revenues(1): Loan servicing...................... $ 127.6 $ 88.9 Loan production..................... 81.1 30.7 -------------- -------------- Total operating revenues........ 208.7 119.6 Expenses: Loan servicing...................... 127.9 59.6 Loan production..................... 38.7 23.3 -------------- -------------- Total expenses.................. 166.6 82.9 -------------- -------------- Pre-tax operating earnings............... 42.1 36.7 Income taxes............................. 15.6 12.8 -------------- -------------- Operating earnings....................... 26.5 23.9 Net realized capital gains (losses), as adjusted.............................. - - Non-recurring items...................... - - -------------- -------------- U.S. GAAP REPORTED: Net income............................... $ 26.5 $ 23.9 ============== ============== ------------ (1) Excludes net realized capital gains (losses) and their impact on recognition of front-end fee revenues and certain market value adjustments to fee revenues. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 Total operating revenues increased $89.1 million, or 74%, to $208.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $119.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. A $50.4 million increase in residential mortgage loan production revenues reflects the increase in residential mortgage loan production volume during the three months ended March 31, 2002. In addition, an increase of $38.7 million in residential mortgage loan servicing revenues reflects the growth in the residential mortgage loan servicing portfolio. The continued relatively low interest rates in the first quarter of 2002 resulted in residential mortgage loan production of $10.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $4.9 billion for the same period a year ago. The average balance of the servicing portfolio was $85.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $56.6 billion for the same period a year ago. Total expenses increased $83.7 million, or 101%, to $166.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $82.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. A $68.3 million increase in residential mortgage loan servicing expenses was a result of a net loss from servicing hedge activity in 2002 compared to a net gain in 2001 and due to growth in the residential mortgage loan servicing portfolio. Residential mortgage loan production expenses increased $15.4 million, reflecting the increase in residential mortgage loan production volume. Income taxes increased $2.8 million, or 22%, to $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The effective income tax rate for this segment was 37% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, and 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2002, was higher than the corporate income tax rate of 35% due to the allocation of deferred state taxes. 34

As a result of the foregoing factors, operating earnings and net income increased $2.6 million, or 11%, to $26.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. CORPORATE AND OTHER SEGMENT The following table presents certain summary financial data relating to the Corporate and Other segment for the periods indicated: [Download Table] FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, -------------------------------- 2002 2001 -------------- --------------- (IN MILLIONS) OPERATING EARNINGS DATA: Operating Revenues(1): Total operating revenues.................. $ 10.5 $ 35.0 Expenses: Total expenses............................ 12.5 2.7 -------------- --------------- Pre-tax operating earnings (loss)..................

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 Total operating revenues decreased $24.5 million, or 70%, to $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $35.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net investment income decreased $30.7 million, primarily reflecting a decrease in investment gains on real estate due to lower sales of certain real estate held-for-sale, compared to an unusually high volume of sales experienced in 2001. The decrease was partially offset by a $5.7 million increase in net investment income, resulting from an increase in average invested assets and cash. Total expenses increased $9.8 million to $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Interest expense increased $4.6 million, primarily due to a change in interest related to federal income tax audit activities. An increase of $2.0 million related to costs associated with operating as a public company. In addition, a $1.8 million increase was related to corporate initiatives funded by this segment. Income tax benefits decreased $10.8 million to a $2.3 million income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31 2002, from $8.5 million of income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in pre-tax operating earnings. As a result of the foregoing factors, operating earnings decreased $23.5 million, or 99%, to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net realized capital gains (losses), as adjusted, increased $132.6 million to $113.0 million of net realized capital gains for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $19.6 million of net realized capital losses for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase was primarily due to a realized capital gain related to the sale of our investment in Coventry in February 2002. 35

As a result of the foregoing factors and the inclusion of non-recurring items, net income increased $116.9 million to $111.3 million of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $5.6 million of net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, net income included the negative effect of non-recurring items totaling $2.0 million, net of income taxes, related to expenses of our demutualization. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, net income included the negative effect of non-recurring items totaling $9.8 million, net of income taxes, related to: (1) an increase in our loss contingency reserve established for sales practices litigation ($5.9 million) and (2) expenses related to our demutualization ($3.9 million). LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES SOURCES AND USES OF CASH OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS Net cash provided by operating activities was $485.0 million and $682.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided was due, in part, to: (1) a decrease in premiums and other considerations received primarily due to a decrease in premiums from single premium group annuities with life contingencies and (2) an increase in separate account withdrawals funded by Principal Life, for which the funds have not yet been transferred from the separate accounts. The decrease in net cash provided was partially offset by: (1) a decrease in cash paid for benefits, claims, and settlement expenses; and (2) an increase in fees and other revenues resulting from an increase in mortgage loan production volume. Continuation of the low interest rate environment and poor performance in the equity markets, could reduce customer demand for pension, individual annuity, variable investment or mutual fund products, resulting in reduced cash flows from our operations. However, should interest rates rise, we may experience a decrease in cash flows from residential mortgage loan production. Net cash used in investing activities was $888.8 million and $1,764.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of our shares of Coventry stock. In addition, we experienced a decrease in net cash invested in available-for-sale securities during 2002 compared to 2001. Partially offsetting these decreases in cash used was a decrease in net cash proceeds from real estate. Net cash provided by financing activities was $337.5 million and $681.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to an increase in investment contract withdrawals. Partially offsetting the decrease were an increase in net proceeds received from short-term borrowings and a reduction in the repayment of long-term debt in 2002 compared to the issuance of long-term debt in 2002. Given the historical cash flow, we believe the cash flow from our consolidated operating activities over the next year will provide sufficient liquidity for our operations, as well as satisfy interest payments and any payments related to debt servicing. DIVIDENDS FROM PRINCIPAL LIFE The payment of dividends by Principal Life to its parent company is limited by Iowa laws. Under Iowa laws, Principal Life may pay dividends only from the earned surplus arising from its business and must receive the prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Iowa ("the Commissioner") to pay a stockholder dividend if such a stockholder dividend would exceed certain statutory limitations. The current statutory limitation is the greater of: o 10% of Principal Life's policyholder surplus as of the previous year-end; or o the net gain from operations from the previous calendar year. Iowa law gives the Commissioner discretion to disapprove requests for dividends in excess of these limits. Based on this limitation and 2001 statutory results, Principal Life could pay approximately $640.3 million in stockholder dividends in 2002 without exceeding the statutory limitation. Total stockholder dividends paid by Principal Life to its parent company in 2002 was $390.0 million. On February 26, 2002, Principal Life declared an ordinary dividend of $390.0 million which was paid to its parent on April 5, 2002. 36
10-Q37th Page of 90TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 37th
COMMON STOCK ISSUED AND TREASURY STOCK ACQUIRED During the three months ended March 31, 2002, another source of liquidity was the issuance of our common stock which resulted in $11.0 million of proceeds due to common stock issued to employees participating in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, premium from the sale of "put options," and a gain from the reissuance of treasury stock. On February 26, 2002, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $450.0 million of our common stock. The repurchase will be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions from time to time, depending upon market conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, we purchased 1.2 million shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $29.6 million. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS Primary sources of cash inflows for BT Financial Group are fee revenues and interest spread earned on margin lending operations. Cash outflows consist primarily of operating expenses. BT did not require any infusions of capital for the three months ended March 31, 2002 or 2001. Our Brazilian and Chilean operations, along with one of our Mexican companies, produced positive cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. These cash flows have been historically maintained at the local country level for strategic expansion purposes. Our international operations have required infusions of capital of $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, respectively, to meet the cash outflow requirements of those operations or to fund acquisitions. These other operations are primarily in the start-up stage or are expanding in the short term. Our capital funding of these operations is consistent with our long-term strategy to establish viable companies that can sustain future growth from internally generated sources. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS The following tables present payments due as of March 31, 2002 and due by period for contractual obligations as of December 31, 2001: [Enlarge/Download Table] AS OF MARCH 31, 2002 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2001 ---------- -------------------------------------------------- LESS THAN 1 4 - 5 AFTER 5 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TOTAL TOTAL YEAR 1-3 YEARS YEARS YEARS -------------------------- ---------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------- (IN MILLIONS) Long-term debt(1)......... $1,343.5 $1,378.4 $ 165.1 $ 288.8 $ 5.4 $ 919.1 Operating leases(2)....... 213.8 213.8 60.3 83.6 44.5 25.4 Non-recourse medium-term notes(3)................ 3,231.6 3,298.4 160.2 496.1 470.2 2,171.9 ---------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------- Total contractual cash obligations...... $4,788.9 $4,890.6 $ 385.6 $ 868.5 $ 520.1 $ 3,116.4 ========== ========= ========= ========= ========= ========== --------------- (1) The following are included in long-term debt: On August 25, 1999, Principal Financial Group (Australia) Holdings Pty Limited, our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, issued $665.0 million of unsecured redeemable long-term debt ($200.0 million of 7.95% notes due August 15, 2004, and $465.0 million in 8.2% notes due August 15, 2009). Interest on the notes is payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2000. Principal Financial Group (Australia) Holdings Pty Limited used the net proceeds from the notes to partially fund the purchase of the outstanding stock of several companies affiliated with Bankers Trust Australia Group. On December 28, 2001, all of the long-term debt obligations of Principal Financial Group (Australia) Holdings Pty Limited were assumed by its parent, PFSI. 37

On March 10, 1994, Principal Life issued $300.0 million of surplus notes, including $200.0 million due March 1, 2024, at a 7.875% annual interest rate and the remaining $100.0 million due March 1, 2044, at an 8% annual interest rate. No affiliates of ours hold any portion of the notes. Each payment of interest and principal on the notes, however, may be made only with the prior approval of the Commissioner and only to the extent that Principal Life has sufficient surplus earnings to make such payments. Long-term debt includes mortgages and other notes payable for real estate developments. We have obtained loans with various lenders to finance these developments. Outstanding principal balances as of December 31, 2001, range from $0.1 million to $101.9 million per development with interest rates generally ranging from 7.2% to 8.6%. (2) As a lessee, we lease office space, data processing equipment, corporate aircraft and office furniture and equipment under various operating leases. Operating leases as of March 31, 2002, represents December 31, 2001 information as the leases have not changed significantly since December 31, 2001. (3) Non-recourse medium term notes represent claims for principal and interest under international funding agreements issued to non-qualified institutional investors. These international funding agreements are afforded equal priority to claims of life insurance and annuity policyholders under insolvency provisions of Iowa Insurance Laws and, accordingly, are reported as contractholder funds liabilities. The components of short-term debt as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, are as follows: AS OF AS OF MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, ------------ ---------------- 2002 2001 ------------ ---------------- (IN MILLIONS) Commercial paper....................... $ 474.9 $ 199.9 Other recourse short-term debt......... 18.3 22.0 Non-recourse short-term debt........... 200.0 289.7 ------------ ---------------- Total short-term debt............... $ 693.2 $ 511.6 ============ ================ Short-term debt consists primarily of commercial paper and outstanding balances on revolving credit facilities with various financial institutions. As of March 31, 2002, we had credit facilities with various financial institutions in an aggregate amount of $1.4 billion. We may borrow up to $600.0 million on a back-stop facility to support our $1.0 billion commercial paper program. In addition, as of March 31, 2002, we have $780.0 million in credit facilities to finance a CMBS pipeline and $45.0 million of unused lines of credit for short-term debt used for general corporate purposes. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We have entered into certain contracts to: 1) fund residential mortgage loan production, 2) sell qualifying delinquent residential mortgage loans, and 3) securitize margin loans. As appropriate under U.S. GAAP, the contracts involve special purpose entities ("SPEs") or trusts that are not reported on our consolidated statement of financial position. RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOAN PRODUCTION. In June 2000, our mortgage banking segment created a special purpose bankruptcy remote entity, Principal Residential Mortgage Capital Resources, LLC ("PRMCR"), to provide an off-balance sheet source of funding for our residential mortgage loan production. We sell eligible residential mortgage loans to PRMCR, where they are warehoused until sold to the final investor. We sold approximately $10.1 billion in residential mortgage loans to PRMCR in 2002. The maximum amount of residential mortgage loans, which can be warehoused in PRMCR, has increased from $1.0 billion at inception to $4.0 billion as of March 31, 2002. PRMCR held $2.7 billion in residential mortgage loans held for sale as of March 31, 2002. The portfolio of loans held for sale by PRMCR must meet portfolio criteria, eligibility representations, and portfolio aging limitations. Based on these eligibility representations, we are required to repurchase ineligible loans from PRMCR. PRMCR is capitalized by equity certificates owned by third party investors not affiliated with us or our affiliates, directors, or officers and thus, is not 38

consolidated. The equity holders bear the risk of loss on defaulted mortgages. At March 31, 2002, PRMCR had outstanding equity certificates of $193.0 million. PRMCR also issues short-term secured liquidity notes as well as medium term notes to provide funds for its purchase of residential mortgage loans from us. At March 31, 2002, PRMCR had outstanding secured liquidity notes of $1.0 billion, three-year fixed term notes of $800.0 million and five-year variable term notes of $800.0 million. All borrowings are collateralized by the assets of PRMCR. We paid a commitment fee to PRMCR based on the overall warehouse limit. PRMCR used a portion of the fee to fund a cash collateral account maintained at PRMCR. These funds are available as additional collateral to cover credit related losses on defaulted loans. The balance in the account was $24.0 million at March 31, 2002. Any remaining amounts in the cash collateral account will be returned to us upon the termination of PRMCR. This right to the return of the cash collateral amount is reflected in other assets on our consolidated statements of financial position. We maintain a right to the servicing of the residential mortgage loans held by PRMCR and upon the sale of the majority of the residential mortgage loans to the final investors. In addition, we perform certain secondary marketing, accounting and various administrative functions on behalf of PRMCR. As servicer, we receive a monthly servicing fee, and may receive an excess servicing fee if funds are available within PRMCR. Additionally, as servicer we are required to advance to PRMCR those payments due from borrowers, but not received, as of specified cut-off dates. We received $5.6 million in servicing fees from PRMCR in 2002. In order to hedge interest rate risk and non-credit related market value risk associated with its inventory of residential mortgage loans held for sale, PRMCR entered into swaps with counterparties not affiliated with us or PRMCR. The swap counterparties are required to maintain certain minimum ratings as approved by the rating agencies. Through separate swap agreements with the swap counterparties that mirror the original swaps with PRMCR, the interest rate risk and non-credit related market value components are swapped back to us. DELINQUENT RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOAN FUNDING. In October 2000, our mortgage banking segment created a wholly-owned, unconsolidated qualifying special purpose entity, Principal Residential Mortgage Funding, LLC ("PRMF"), to provide an off-balance sheet source of funding for up to $250.0 million of qualifying delinquent residential mortgage loans. The limit was increased to $357.0 million in December 2001. We sell qualifying delinquent loans to PRMF which then transfers the loans to Principal Residential Mortgage EBO Trust ("Trust"), an unaffiliated Delaware business trust. The Trust funds its acquisitions of residential mortgage loans by selling participation certificates, representing an undivided interest in the Trust, to commercial paper conduit purchasers, who are not affiliated with us or any of our affiliates, directors or officers. At March 31, 2002, PRMF held $293.5 million in residential mortgage loans and had outstanding participation certificates of $275.4 million. Residential mortgage loans typically remain in the Trust until they are processed through the foreclosure claim process, are paid-off or reinstate. Loans that reinstate are no longer eligible to remain in the Trust and are required to be removed by us at fair market value at the monthly settlement date following reinstatement. We are retained as the servicer of the residential mortgage loans and also perform accounting and various administrative functions on behalf of PRMF, in its capacity as the managing member of PRMF. As the servicer, we receive a servicing fee pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement. We may also receive a successful servicing fee only after all other conditions in the monthly cash flow distribution are met. At March 31, 2002, our residual interest in such cash flows was $22.8 million and was recorded in other investments on the consolidated statements of financial position. The value of the residual interest was based on the net present value of expected cash flows from PRMF, as well as estimates of foreclosure losses associated with the related loans. We are required to advance funds for payment of interest on the participation certificates and other carrying costs, if sufficient cash is not available in the collection account to meet this obligation. We and the Trust are parties to a cost of funds hedge agreement. We pay the weighted average cost of funds on the participation certificates plus fees and expenses and receive the indicated swap bid rate, subject to a cap. MARGIN LOAN SECURITIZATIONS. We sell loans under a margin loan securitization program and retain primary servicing responsibilities and subordinated interests. We receive servicing distributions approximating 0.3 percent of the outstanding balance and rights to future cash flows through an excess distribution from the trust, representing the balance remaining after all interest and fees of the trust have been accounted for. Our retained interests are subordinated to investors' interests. Retained interests equate to 7% of the outstanding loan balances, of which we earn a return of 2.0% over the Australian 30 day Bank Bill swap rate. The investors and the securitization trusts have no 39

recourse to our other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. The value of our retained interests is subject to market risk and all positions are primarily hedged. No gains or losses on the transaction have been realized to date. The estimated fair values of the retained interests, $40.4 million at March 31, 2002, are based upon our relative ownership percentage of the book value of the outstanding loan balances. Proceeds from advances on margin loans previously securitized were $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. INVESTMENTS We had total consolidated assets as of March 31, 2002, of $88.8 billion, of which $45.4 billion were invested assets. The rest of our total consolidated assets are comprised primarily of separate account assets for which we do not bear investment risk. Because we generally do not bear any investment risk on assets held in separate accounts, the discussion and financial information below does not include such assets. Of our invested assets, $44.0 billion were held by our U.S. operations and the remaining $1.4 billion were held by our International Asset Management and Accumulation segment. U.S. INVESTMENT OPERATIONS Our U.S. invested assets are managed by Principal Capital Management, a subsidiary of Principal Life. Our primary investment objective is to maximize after-tax returns consistent with acceptable risk parameters. We seek to protect policyholders' benefits by optimizing the risk/return relationship on an ongoing basis, through asset/liability matching, reducing the credit risk, avoiding high levels of investments that may be redeemed by the issuer, maintaining sufficiently liquid investments and avoiding undue asset concentrations through diversification. We are exposed to three primary sources of investment risk: o credit risk, relating to the uncertainty associated with the continued ability of a given obligor to make timely payments of principal and interest; o interest rate risk, relating to the market price and/or cash flow variability associated with changes in market yield curves; and o equity risk, relating to adverse fluctuations in a particular common stock. Our ability to manage credit risk is essential to our business and our profitability. We devote considerable resources to the credit analysis of each new investment. We manage credit risk through industry, issuer and asset class diversification. Our Investment Committee, appointed by our board of directors, establishes all investment policies and reviews and approves all investments. As of March 31, 2002, there are nine members on the Investment Committee, one of whom is a member of our board of directors. The remaining eight members are senior management members representing various areas of our company. Our Fixed Income Securities Committee, consisting of fixed income securities senior management members, approves the credit rating for the fixed maturity securities we purchase. Teams of security analysts organized by industry focus either on the public or private markets and analyze and monitor these investments. In addition, we have teams who specialize in residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and public below investment grade securities. We establish a credit reviewed list of approved public issuers to provide an efficient way for our portfolio managers to purchase liquid bonds for which credit review has already been completed. Issuers remain on the list for six months unless removed by our analyst. Our analysts monitor issuers on the list on a continuous basis with a formal review documented every six months or more frequently if material events affect the issuer. The analysis includes both fundamental and technical factors. The fundamental analysis encompasses both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the issuer. The qualitative analysis includes an assessment of both accounting and management aggressiveness. In addition, technical indicators such as stock price volatility and credit default swap levels are monitored. 40

Our Fixed Income Securities Committee also reviews private transactions on a continuous basis to assess the quality ratings of our privately placed investments. We regularly review our investments to determine whether we should re-rate them, employing the following criteria: o material declines in the issuer's revenues or margins; o significant management or organizational changes; o significant uncertainty regarding the issuer's industry; o debt service coverage or cash flow ratios that fall below industry-specific thresholds; o violation of financial covenants; and o other business factors that relate to the issuer. A dedicated risk management team is responsible for centralized monitoring of the commercial mortgage portfolio. We apply a variety of strategies to minimize credit risk in our commercial mortgage loan portfolio. When considering the origination of new commercial mortgage loans, we review the cash flow fundamentals of the property, make a physical assessment of the underlying security, conduct a comprehensive market analysis and compare against industry lending practices. We use a proprietary risk rating model to evaluate all new and a majority of existing loans within the portfolio. The proprietary risk model is designed to stress projected cash flows under simulated economic and market downturns. Our lending guidelines are designed to encourage 75% or less loan-to-value ratios and a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.2 times. We analyze investments outside of these guidelines based on cash flow quality, tenancy and other factors. The weighted average loan-to-value ratio at origination for brick and mortar commercial mortgages in our portfolio was 70% and the debt service coverage ratio at loan inception was 2.2 times as of March 31, 2002. We have limited exposure to equity risk in our common stock portfolio. Equity securities accounted for only 2% of our U.S. invested assets as of March 31, 2002. Our investment decisions and objectives are a function of the underlying risks and product profiles of each primary business operation. In addition, we diversify our product portfolio offerings to include products that contain features that will protect us against fluctuations in interest rates. Those features include adjustable crediting rates, policy surrender charges and market value adjustments on liquidations. For further information on our management of interest rate risk, see Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk". OVERALL COMPOSITION OF U.S. INVESTED ASSETS U.S. invested assets as of March 31, 2002, were predominantly of high quality and broadly diversified across asset class, individual credit, industry and geographic location. As shown in the following table, the major categories of U.S. invested assets are fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgages. The remainder is invested in real estate, equity securities and other assets. In addition, policy loans are included in our invested assets. We combined our invested assets in the Closed Block with invested assets outside the Closed Block in view of the similar asset quality characteristics of the two portfolios. The following discussion analyzes the composition of U.S. invested assets, which includes $4,237.3 million in invested assets of the Closed Block as of March 31, 2002, but excludes invested assets of the participating separate accounts. 41

This active management has resulted in the realization of capital gains and losses with respect to such investments. U.S. INVESTMENT RESULTS The yield on U.S. invested assets and on cash and cash equivalents, excluding net realized gains and losses, was 7.1% and 7.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 42

FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES We have classified the majority of our fixed maturity securities as available-for-sale. Accordingly, we mark such securities to market, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes and an adjustment for the effect on deferred policy acquisition costs that would have occurred had such gains and losses been realized. We write down to fair value securities whose value is deemed other than temporarily impaired. We record write downs as realized losses included in net income and adjust the cost basis of such securities to fair value. The new cost basis is not changed for subsequent recoveries in value. Fixed maturity securities consist of short-term investments, publicly traded debt securities, privately placed debt securities and small amounts of redeemable preferred stock, and represented 68% of total U.S. invested assets as of March 31, 2002 and 67% as of December 31, 2001. The fixed maturity securities portfolio was comprised, based on carrying amount, of 65% in publicly traded fixed maturity securities and 35% in privately placed fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2002, and 63% in publicly traded fixed maturity securities and 37% in privately placed fixed maturity securities as of December 31, 2001. Included in the privately placed category as of March 31, 2002, were $3.5 billion of securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. Fixed maturity securities were diversified by category of issuer as of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, as shown in the following table: [Download Table] U.S. INVESTED ASSETS FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES BY TYPE OF ISSUER AS OF MARCH 31, AS OF DECEMBER 31, ---------------- ------------------ 2002 2001 ---------------- ------------------ CARRYING % OF CARRYING % OF AMOUNT TOTAL AMOUNT TOTAL --------- ----- --------- ----- ($ IN MILLIONS) U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.. $ 292.8 1% $ 15.1 -% States and political subdivisions............ 316.5 1 317.5 1 Foreign governments.......................... 507.7 2 603.5 2 Corporate - public........................... 13,991.3 47 13,038.8 45 Corporate - private.......................... 9,072.2 30 9,171.1 32 Mortgage-backed securities and other asset- backed securities.......................... 5,687.4 19 5,881.8 20 --------- ----- --------- ---- Total fixed maturities..................... $29,867.9 100% $29,027.8 100% ========= === ========= === The international exposure in our U.S. invested assets totaled $3,819.7 million, or 13%, of total fixed maturity securities, as of March 31, 2002, comprised of corporate and foreign government fixed maturity securities. Of the $3,819.7 million as of March 31, 2002, investments totaled $1,125.6 million in the United Kingdom, $606.2 million in the continental European Union, $519.9 million in Asia, $381.7 million in South America, $332.1 million in Australia and $25.9 million in Japan. The remaining $828.3 million was invested in 13 other countries. All international fixed maturity securities held by our U.S. operations are either denominated in U.S. dollars or have been swapped into U.S. dollar equivalents. Our international investments are analyzed internally by country and industry credit investment professionals. We control concentrations using issuer and country level exposure benchmarks, which are based on the credit quality of the issuer and the country. Our investment policy limits total international fixed maturity securities investments to 15% of total statutory general account assets with a 4% limit in emerging markets. Exposure to Canada is not included in our international exposure due to its treatment by the NAIC. As of March 31, 2002, our investments in Canada totaled $970.5 million. The Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC evaluates most of the fixed maturity securities that we and other U.S. insurance companies hold. The Securities Valuation Office evaluates the bond investments of insurers for regulatory reporting purposes and assigns securities to one of six investment categories. The NAIC Designations closely mirror the nationally recognized securities rating organizations' credit ratings for marketable bonds. NAIC Designations 1 and 2 include bonds considered investment grade by such rating organizations. Bonds are considered investment grade when rated "Baa3" or higher by Moody's, or "BBB-" or higher by Standard & Poor's. NAIC Designations 3 through 6 are referred to as below investment grade. Bonds are considered below investment grade when rated "Ba1" or lower by Moody's, or "BB+" or lower by Standard & Poor's. 44

We also monitor the credit drift of our corporate fixed maturity securities portfolio. Credit drift is defined as the ratio of the percentage of rating downgrades, including defaults, divided by the percentage of rating upgrades. We measure credit drift once each fiscal year, assessing the changes in our internally developed credit ratings that have occurred during the year. Standard & Poor's annual credit ratings drift ratio measures the credit rating change, within a specific year, of companies that have been assigned ratings by Standard & Poor's. The annual internal credit drift ratio on corporate fixed maturity securities we held in our general account was 2.43 times compared to the Standard & Poor's drift ratio of 4.27 times, as of December 31, 2001. The following tables present our publicly traded, privately placed and total fixed maturity securities by NAIC Designation and the equivalent ratings of the nationally recognized securities rating organizations as of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, as well as the percentage, based on estimated fair value, that each designation comprises: [Enlarge/Download Table] U.S. INVESTED ASSETS PUBLICLY TRADED FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES BY CREDIT QUALITY AS OF MARCH 31, 2002 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2001 ------------------------------ ------------------------------ % OF % OF RATING TOTAL TOTAL NAIC AGENCY AMORTIZED CARRYING CARRYING AMORTIZED CARRYING CARRYING RATING EQUIVALENT COST AMOUNT AMOUNT COST AMOUNT AMOUNT ------ --------------------- --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- -------- ($ IN MILLIONS) 1 Aaa/Aa/A............. $10,307.6 $10,596.8 55% $ 9,955.3 $10,406.5 57% 2 Baa.................. 7,977.4 8,049.6 42 6,939.5 7,112.8 39 3 Ba................... 364.5 353.6 2 496.3 474.5 3 4 B.................... 189.7 188.5 1 165.3 148.4 1 5 Caa and lower........ 44.4 37.7 - 28.4 26.5 - 6 In or near default... 61.6 47.5 - 60.6 58.9 - --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- -------- Total public fixed maturities... $18,945.2 $19,273.7 100% $17,645.4 $18,227.6 100% ========= ========= === ========= ========= === [Enlarge/Download Table] U.S. INVESTED ASSETS PRIVATELY PLACED FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES BY CREDIT QUALITY AS OF MARCH 31, 2002 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2001 ------------------------------ ------------------------------ % OF % OF RATING TOTAL TOTAL NAIC AGENCY AMORTIZED CARRYING CARRYING AMORTIZED CARRYING CARRYING RATING EQUIVALENT COST AMOUNT AMOUNT COST AMOUNT AMOUNT ------ --------------------- --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- -------- ($ IN MILLIONS) 1 Aaa/Aa/A............. $ 4,198.0 $ 4,301.0 40% $ 4,184.6 $ 4,349.7 40% 2 Baa.................. 4,687.2 4,778.4 45 4,780.5 4,921.8 46 3 Ba................... 1,089.5 1,065.8 10 1,105.7 1,085.9 10 4 B.................... 196.3 186.2 2 236.4 223.7 2 5 Caa and lower........ 77.6 72.1 1 64.0 64.3 1 6 In or near default... 206.3 190.7 2 180.3 154.8 1 --------- --------- -------- --------- --------- -------- Total private fixed maturities... $10,454.9 $10,594.2 100% $10,551.5 $10,800.2 100% ========= ========= === ========= ========= === 45

Each year we direct the majority of our net cash inflows into investment grade fixed maturity securities. We typically invest up to 7% of general account cash flow in below investment grade assets. While the general account investment returns have improved due to the below investment grade asset class, we manage its growth strategically by limiting it to 10% of the total fixed maturity securities portfolio. We invest in privately placed fixed maturity securities to enhance the overall value of the portfolio, increase diversification and obtain higher yields than are possible with comparable quality public market securities. Generally, private placements provide broader access to management information, strengthened negotiated protective covenants, call protection features and, where applicable, a higher level of collateral. They are, however, generally not freely tradable because of restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws and illiquid trading markets. As of March 31, 2002, the percentage, based on estimated fair value, of total publicly traded and privately placed fixed maturity securities that were investment grade with an NAIC Designation 1 or 2 was 93%.

This represented approximately 1% of our total U.S. invested assets as of March 31, 2002. No other individual non-government issuer represented more than 1% of U.S. invested assets. We held $5,687.4 million of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities as of March 31, 2002, and $5,881.8 million as of December 31, 2001. The following table presents the types of mortgage-backed securities ("MBSs"), as well as other asset-backed securities, held as of the dates indicated: [Download Table] U.S. INVESTED ASSETS MORTGAGE AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES CARRYING AMOUNT AS OF MARCH 31, AS OF DECEMBER 31, --------------- ------------------ 2002 2001 --------------- ------------------ (IN MILLIONS) Residential pass-through securities.......... $ 2,651.5 $ 2,855.5 Commercial MBS............................... 1,941.2 1,874.1 Asset-backed securities...................... 1,094.7 1,152.2 --------------- ------------------ Total MBSs and asset-backed securities.... $ 5,687.4 $ 5,881.8 =============== ================== We believe that it is desirable to hold residential mortgage-backed securities due to their credit quality and liquidity as well as portfolio diversification characteristics. Our portfolio is comprised of GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC pass-through securities and is actively managed to ensure that the securities held are trading close to or below par, in order to reduce risk of prepayments. As of March 31, 2002, we held no collateralized mortgage obligations in our U.S. invested asset portfolio. Commercial mortgage-backed securities provide high levels of credit protection, diversification, reduced event risk and enhanced liquidity. Commercial mortgage-backed securities are predominantly comprised of rated large pool securitizations that are individually and collectively diverse by property type, borrower and geographic dispersion. We purchase asset-backed securities, ("ABS"), to diversify the overall credit risks of the fixed maturity securities portfolio and to provide attractive returns. The principal risks in holding asset-backed securities are structural and credit risks. Structural risks include the security's priority in the issuer's capital structure, the adequacy of and ability to realize proceeds from the collateral and the potential for prepayments. Credit risks involve issuer/servicer risk where collateral values can become impaired in the event of servicer credit deterioration. 47
10-Q48th Page of 90TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 48th
Our ABS portfolio is diversified both by type of asset and by issuer. We actively monitor holdings of asset-backed securities to ensure that the risk profile of each security improves or remains consistent. If we are not receiving an adequate yield for the risk, relative to other investment opportunities, we will attempt to sell the security. Prepayments in the ABS portfolio are, in general, insensitive to changes in interest rates or are insulated to such changes by call protection features. In the event that we are subject to prepayment risk, we monitor the factors that impact the level of prepayment and prepayment speed for those asset-backed securities. To the extent we believe that prepayment risk increases, we may attempt to sell the security and reinvest in another security that offers better yield relative to the risk. In addition, we diversify the risks of asset-backed securities by holding a diverse class of securities, which limits our exposure to any one security.

We define problem securities in our fixed maturity portfolio as securities: (i) as to which principal and/or interest payments are in default or (ii) issued by a company that went into bankruptcy subsequent to the acquisition of such securities. We define potential problem securities in our fixed maturity portfolio as securities included on an internal 48

"watch list" for which management has concerns as to the ability of the issuer to comply with the present debt payment terms and which may result in the security becoming a problem or being restructured. The decision whether to classify a performing fixed maturity security as a potential problem involves significant subjective judgments by our management as to the likely future industry conditions and developments with respect to the issuer. We define restructured securities in our fixed maturity portfolio as securities where a concession has been granted to the borrower related to the borrower's financial difficulties that would not have otherwise been considered. We determine that restructures should occur in those instances where greater economic value will be realized under the new terms than through liquidation or other disposition and may involve a change in contractual cash flows. In December 2001, Enron Corp., along with certain of its subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. We recognized realized losses in 2001 for other than temporary impairments and have classified our remaining investment in Enron Corp. and Enron related entities in our problem fixed maturity securities in the amount of $49.6 million as of March 31, 2002. The following table presents the total carrying amount of our fixed maturity portfolio, as well as its problem, potential problem and restructured fixed maturities for the periods indicated: [Enlarge/Download Table] U.S. INVESTED ASSETS PROBLEM, POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND RESTRUCTURED FIXED MATURITIES AT CARRYING AMOUNT AS OF MARCH 31, AS OF DECEMBER 31, --------------- ------------------ 2002 2001 --------------- ------------------ ($ IN MILLIONS) Total fixed maturity securities (public and private)........... $ 29,867.9 $ 29,027.8 =============== ================== Problem fixed maturity securities.............................. $ 148.8 $ 198.8 Potential problem fixed maturity securities.................... 387.1 365.1 Restructured fixed maturity securities......................... 134.8 110.8 --------------- ------------------ Total problem, potential problem and restructured fixed maturity securities....................................... $ 670.7 $ 674.7 =============== ================== Total problem, potential problem and restructured fixed maturity securities as a percent of total fixed maturity securities................................................ 2% 2% EQUITY SECURITIES Our equity securities consist primarily of investments in common stocks. We classify our investment in common stocks as available for sale and report them at fair value. We report unrealized gains and losses on common stocks as a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes and an adjustment for the effect on deferred acquisition costs that would have occurred if such gains and losses had been realized. Investments in equity securities, totaled $873.0 million and $808.7 million, which represented 2% of U.S. invested assets as of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, respectively. Investments in company-sponsored funds totaled $513.7 million, or 59%, of our U.S. equity securities as of March 31, 2002. These sponsored funds are intended to be marketed to our asset management clients. Of company-sponsored funds, $322.4 million represented underlying investments in publicly-traded equities, $185.7 million represented investments in publicly-traded fixed income securities and $5.6 million in balanced funds which represented investments in both publicly-traded equities and fixed income securities as of March 31, 2002. The remaining balance of equity securities is a mixture of public and private securities acquired for investment purposes or which were acquired through equity participation features of below investment grade bonds or through recoveries of defaulted securities. MORTGAGE LOANS Mortgage loans comprised 24% and 25% of total U.S. invested assets as of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, respectively. Mortgage loans consist of commercial and residential loans. Commercial mortgage loans comprised $9,565.2 million as of March 31, 2002, and $9,740.4 million as of December 31, 2001, or 90% and 89%, of total mortgage loan investments, respectively. Residential mortgages comprised $1,119.2 million and $1,144.2 million, or 10% and 11%, of total mortgage loan investments as of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, respectively. Principal Residential Mortgage, Inc. and Principal Bank hold the majority of residential loans. Principal Residential Mortgage, Inc. holds residential loans as part of its securitization inventory and Principal Bank holds residential loans to comply with federal thrift charter requirements. 49

COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LOANS. Commercial mortgages play an important role in our investment strategy by: o providing strong risk adjusted relative value in comparison to other investment alternatives; o enhancing total returns; and o providing strategic portfolio diversification. As a result, we have focused on constructing a solid, high quality portfolio of mortgages. Our portfolio is generally comprised of mortgages with conservative loan-to-value ratios, high debt service coverages and general purpose property types with a strong credit tenancy. Our commercial loan portfolio consists of primarily non-recourse, fixed rate mortgages on fully or near fully leased properties. The mortgage portfolio is comprised of general-purpose industrial properties, manufacturing office properties and credit oriented retail properties. California accounted for 22% of our commercial mortgage loan portfolio as of March 31, 2002. We are, therefore, exposed to potential losses resulting from the risk of catastrophes, such as earthquakes, that may affect the region. Like other lenders, we generally do not require earthquake insurance for properties on which we make commercial mortgage loans. With respect to California properties, however, we obtain an engineering report specific to each property. The report assesses the building's design specifications, whether it has been upgraded to meet seismic building codes and the maximum loss that is likely to result from a variety of different seismic events. We also obtain a report that assesses by building and geographic fault lines the amount of loss our commercial mortgage loan portfolio might suffer under a variety of seismic events. The following is a summary of our commercial mortgage loans by property type and region as of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001: U.S. INVESTED ASSETS COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LOAN DISTRIBUTION BY TYPE AS OF MARCH 31, AS OF DECEMBER 31, ------------------- ------------------- 2002 2001 ------------------- ------------------- CARRYING % OF CARRYING % OF AMOUNT TOTAL AMOUNT TOTAL ---------- ----- ---------- ----- ($ IN MILLIONS) Office................ $ 3,217.7 33% $ 3,252.5 33% Retail................ 3,031.1 32 3,106.5 32 Industrial............ 2,846.1 30 2,948.9 30 Apartments............ 400.5 4 349.8 4 Mixed use/other....... 105.9 1 111.8 1 Hotel................. 61.6 1 61.6 1 Valuation allowance...

Substantially all loans within the portfolio are analyzed regularly, based on a proprietary risk rating cash flow model, in order to monitor the financial quality of these assets and are internally rated. Based on ongoing monitoring, mortgage loans with a likelihood of becoming delinquent are identified and placed on an internal "watch list". Among criteria which would indicate a potential problem are: imbalances in ratios of loan to value or contract rents to debt service, major tenant vacancies or bankruptcies, borrower sponsorship problems, late payments, delinquent taxes and loan relief/restructuring requests. We state commercial mortgage loans at their unpaid principal balances, net of discount accrual and premium amortization, valuation allowances and write downs for impairment. We provide a valuation allowance for commercial mortgage loans based on past loan loss experience and for specific loans considered to be impaired. Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement may not be collected. When we determine that a loan is impaired, we establish a valuation allowance for loss for the excess of the carrying value of the mortgage loan over its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral. We record increases in such valuation allowances as realized investment losses and, accordingly, we reflect such losses in our consolidated results of operations. Such increases (decreases) in valuation allowances aggregated $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, and $(17.3) million for the year ended December 31, 2001. We review our mortgage loan portfolio and analyze the need for a valuation allowance for any loan which is delinquent for 60 days or more, in process of foreclosure, restructured, on the "watch list", or which currently has a 52

valuation allowance. We categorize loans which are delinquent, loans in process of foreclosure and loans to borrowers in bankruptcy as "problem" loans. Potential problem loans are loans placed on an internal "watch list" for which management has concerns as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan payment terms and which may result in the loan becoming a problem or being restructured. The decision whether to classify a performing loan as a potential problem involves significant subjective judgments by management as to the likely future economic conditions and developments with respect to the borrower. We categorize loans for which the original terms of the mortgages have been modified or for which interest or principal payments have been deferred as "restructured" loans. We also consider matured loans that are refinanced at below market rates as restructured. We charge mortgage loans deemed to be uncollectible against the allowance for losses and credit subsequent recoveries to the allowance for losses. We maintain the allowance for losses at a level management believes to be adequate to absorb estimated probable credit losses. Management bases its periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for losses on our past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimating the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may change.

EQUITY REAL ESTATE We hold commercial equity real estate as part of our investment portfolio. As of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, the carrying amount of equity real estate investment was $1,255.7 million and $1,174.1 million, or 3% of U.S. invested assets, respectively. We own real estate, real estate acquired upon foreclosure of commercial mortgage loans and interests, both majority owned and non-majority owned, in real estate joint ventures. We continue to focus on a long-term strategy of reducing our real estate equity portfolio. Equity real estate is categorized as either "real estate held for investment" or "real estate held for sale". Real estate held for investment totaled $865.5 million as of March 31, 2002, and $783.4 million as of December 31, 2001. The carrying value of real estate held for investment is generally adjusted for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Such impairment adjustments are recorded as realized investment losses and accordingly, are reflected in our consolidated results of operations. For the periods ended March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, there were no such impairment adjustments. The carrying amount of real estate held for sale as of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, was $390.2 million and $390.7 million, net of valuation allowances of $17.4 million and $19.8 million, respectively. Once we identify a real estate property to be sold and commence a plan for marketing the property, we classify the property as held for sale. We establish a valuation allowance subject to periodical revisions, if necessary, to adjust the carrying value of the property to reflect the lower of its current carrying value or the fair value, less associated selling costs. We use research, both internal and external, to recommend appropriate product and geographic allocations and changes to the equity real estate portfolio. We monitor product, geographic and industry diversification separately and together to determine the most appropriate mix. Equity real estate is distributed across geographic regions of the country with larger concentrations in the South Atlantic, West South Central and Pacific regions of the United States as of March 31, 2002. By property type, there is a concentration in office buildings that represented approximately 34% of the equity real estate portfolio as of March 31, 2002. Our largest equity real estate holding as of March 31, 2002 consisted of an office/industrial park located in Durham, North Carolina with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $149.1 million and represented approximately 12% of total U.S. equity real estate assets and 0.3% of U.S. invested assets. The ten largest real estate properties as of March 31, 2002 comprised 45% of total U.S. equity real estate assets and 1% of total U.S. invested assets. In addition, our equity real estate includes our investment in BT Hotels.

We use interest rate futures contracts to hedge changes in interest rates subsequent to the issuance of an insurance liability, such as a guaranteed investment contract, but prior to the purchase of a supporting asset, or during periods of holding assets in anticipation of near term liability sales. We use interest rate swaps primarily to more closely match the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities. They can be used to change the interest rate characteristics of specific assets and liabilities as well as an entire portfolio. Occasionally, we will sell a callable liability or a liability with attributes similar to a call option. In these cases, we will use interest rate swaptions or similar products to hedge the risk of early liability payment, thereby transforming the callable liability into a fixed term liability. We also seek to reduce call or prepayment risk arising from changes in interest rates in individual investments. We limit our exposure to investments that are prepayable without penalty prior to maturity at the option of the issuer, and we require additional yield on these investments to compensate for the risk that the issuer will exercise such option. An example of an investment we limit because of the option risk is residential mortgage-backed securities. We assess option risk in all investments we make and, when we take that risk, we price for it accordingly. 55

Foreign currency risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. This risk arises from our international operations and foreign currency-denominated funding agreements issued to non-qualified institutional investors in the international market. The notional amount of our currency swap agreements associated with foreign-denominated liabilities as of March 31, 2002, was $3,025.4 million. We also have fixed maturity securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. However, we use derivatives to hedge the foreign currency risk of these funding agreements and securities. As of March 31, 2002, the fair value of our foreign currency denominated fixed maturity securities was $302.1 million. We use currency swap agreements of the same currency to hedge the foreign currency exchange risk related to these investments. The notional amount of our currency swap agreements associated with foreign-denominated fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2002, was $315.1 million. In conjunction with the interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions and other derivatives, we are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that counterparty fails to perform the terms of the derivative contract. We actively manage this risk by: o establishing exposure limits which take into account non-derivative exposure we have with the counterparty as well as derivative exposure; o performing similar credit analysis prior to approval on each derivatives counterparty that we do when lending money on a long-term basis; o limiting exposure to AA- credit or better; o conducting stress-test analysis to determine the maximum exposure created during the life of a prospective transaction; and o daily monitoring of counterparty credit ratings. All new derivative counterparties are approved by the investment committee. We believe the risk of incurring losses due to nonperformance by our counterparties is remote and that such losses, if any, would not be material. Futures contracts trade on organized exchanges and, therefore, effectively have no credit risk. The notional amounts used to express the extent of our involvement in swap transactions represent a standard measurement of the volume of our swap business. Notional amount is not a quantification of market risk or credit risk and it may not necessarily be recorded on the balance sheet. Notional amounts represent those amounts used to calculate contractual flows to be exchanged and are not paid or received, except for contracts such as currency swaps. Actual credit exposure represents the amount owed to us under derivative contracts as of the valuation date. The following tables present our position in, and credit exposure to, derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001: 56

SECURITIES LENDING The terms of our securities lending program, approved in 1999, allow us to lend our securities to major brokerage firms. Our policy requires an initial minimum of 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities as collateral. Our securities on loan as of March 31, 2002, had a fair value of $611.5 million. INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT OPERATIONS As of March 31, 2002, our international investment operations consist of the investments of Principal International and BT Financial Group and comprise $1.4 billion in invested assets, which primarily represent the assets of Principal International. Principal Capital Management works with each Principal International affiliate to develop investment policies and strategies that are consistent with the products they offer. Due to the regulatory constraints in each country, each company maintains its own investment policies which are approved by Principal Capital Management. Each international affiliate is required to submit a compliance report relative to its strategy to Principal Capital Management. A credit committee comprised of Principal Capital Management employees and international affiliate company chief investment officers review each corporate credit annually. In addition, employees from our U.S. operations who serve on the credit committee currently hold investment positions in two of our international affiliates. Principal Capital Management provides credit analysis training to Principal International personnel. OVERALL COMPOSITION OF INTERNATIONAL INVESTED ASSETS As shown in the following table, the major categories of international invested assets as of March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, were fixed maturity securities and residential mortgage loans: [Download Table] INTERNATIONAL INVESTED ASSETS AS OF MARCH 31, AS OF DECEMBER 31, ---------------- ------------------ 2002 2001 ---------------- ------------------ CARRYING % OF CARRYING % OF AMOUNT TOTAL AMOUNT TOTAL --------- ----- --------- ----- ($ IN MILLIONS) Fixed maturity securities Public................................ $ 939.8 66% $ 941.3 69% Private............................... 65.0 4 61.0 4 Equity securities, available-for-sale.... 26.7 2 24.9 2 Mortgage loans Residential........................... 214.9 15 181.1 13 Real estate held for investment.......... 8.3 1 7.7 1 Other investments ....................... 168.7 12 151.4 11 --------- ----- --------- ----- Total invested assets................. $1,423.4 100% $ 1,367.4 100% === === Cash and cash equivalents................ 127.7 128.0 --------- --------- Total invested assets and cash ....... $1,551.1 $ 1,495.4 ========= ========= INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT RESULTS The yield on international invested assets and on cash and cash equivalents, excluding net realized gains and losses, was 6.4% and 7.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK MARKET RISK EXPOSURES AND RISK MANAGEMENT Market risk is the risk that we will incur losses due to adverse fluctuations in market rates and prices. Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates, although we also have exposures to changes in equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The active management of market risk is an integral part of our operations. We manage our overall market risk exposure within established risk tolerance ranges by using the following approaches: o rebalance our existing asset or liability portfolios; o control the risk structure of newly acquired assets and liabilities; or o use derivative instruments to modify the market risk characteristics of existing assets or liabilities or assets expected to be purchased. INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk stems largely from our substantial holdings of guaranteed fixed rate liabilities in our U.S. Asset Management and Accumulation segment. We manage the interest rate risk inherent in our assets relative to the interest rate risk inherent in our liabilities. One of the measures we use to quantify this exposure is duration. To calculate duration, we project asset and liability cashflows. These cashflows are discounted to a net present value basis using a spot yield curve, which is a blend of the spot yield curves for each of the asset types in the portfolio. Duration is calculated by re-calculating these cashflows and redetermining the net present value based upon an alternative level of interest rates, and determining the percentage change in fair value. As of March 31, 2002, the difference between the asset and liability durations on our primary duration managed portfolio was .05 years. This duration gap indicates that as of this date the sensitivity of the fair value of our assets to interest rate movements is greater than that of the fair value of our liabilities. Our goal is to minimize the duration gap. Currently, our guidelines dictate that total duration gaps between the asset and liability portfolios must be within 0.25 years. The value of the assets in this portfolio was $23,888.2 million as of March 31, 2002. For products such as whole life insurance, term life insurance and single premium deferred annuities, the liability cashflow is less predictable, and a duration-matching strategy is less reliable and manageable. We do, however, try to manage the duration of these portfolios. For these products, we manage interest rate risk based on a modeling process that considers the target average life, maturities, crediting rates and assumptions of policyholder behavior. As of March 31, 2002, the weighted-average difference between the asset and liability durations on these portfolios was .48 years. This duration gap indicates that as of this date the sensitivity of the fair value of our assets to interest rate movements is less than that of the fair value of our liabilities. We attempt to monitor this duration gap consistent with our overall risk/reward tolerances. The value of the assets in these portfolios was $9,244.5 million as of March 31, 2002. We also have a block of participating general account pension business that passes the actual investment performance of the assets to the customer. The investment strategy of this block is to maximize investment return to the customer on a "best efforts" basis, and there is little or no attempt to manage the duration of this portfolio since there is little or no interest rate risk. The value of the assets in these portfolios was $5,858.2 million as of March 31, 2002. Using the assumptions and data in effect as of March 31, 2002, we estimate that a 100 basis point immediate, parallel increase in interest rates increases the net fair value of our portfolio by $32.2 million. The following table details the estimated changes by risk management strategy: 63

AS OF RISK MANAGEMENT MARCH 31, 2002 NET FAIR VALUE STRATEGY VALUE OF TOTAL ASSETS CHANGE ------------------------------- --------------------- -------------- (IN MILLIONS) Primary duration-managed....... $ 23,888.2 $ (11.9) Duration-monitored............. 9,244.5 44.1 Non duration-managed........... 5,858.2 - --------------------- -------------- Total....................... $ 38,990.9 $ 32.2 ===================== ============== We are also exposed to interest rate risk in our Mortgage Banking segment. We manage this risk by striving to balance our loan origination and loan servicing operations, the two of which are generally counter-cyclical. In addition, we use various financial instruments, including derivatives contracts, to manage the interest rate risk specifically related to committed loans in the pipeline and mortgage servicing rights. The overall objective of our interest rate risk management policies is to offset changes in the values of these items resulting from changes in interest rates. We do not speculate on the direction of interest rates in our management of interest rate risk. We manage interest rate risk on our mortgage loan pipeline by buying and selling mortgage-backed securities in the forward markets, over-the-counter options on mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury and Eurodollar futures contracts and options on futures contracts. We also use interest rate floors, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, swaps and swaptions, mortgage-backed securities and principal-only strips in hedging a portion of our portfolio of mortgage servicing rights from prepayment risk associated with changes in interest rates. We measure pipeline interest rate risk exposure by adjusting the at-risk pipeline in light of the theoretical optionality of each applicant's rate/price commitment. The at-risk pipeline, which consists of closed loans and rate locks, is then refined at the product type level to express each product's sensitivity to changes in market interest rates in terms of a single current coupon MBS duration. Suitable hedges are selected and a similar methodology applied to this hedge position. The variety of hedging instruments allows us to match the behavior of the financial instrument with that of the different types of loans originated. We limit our risk exposure by requiring that the net position value not change by more than $10.0 million given an instantaneous change in the benchmark MBS price of +/- 2.5%. This price sensitivity analysis is performed at least once daily. The value of the loans in the pipeline as of March 31, 2002, was $7.3 billion. Due to the impact of our hedging activities, we estimate that a 100 basis point immediate parallel increase in the interest rates decreases the March 31, 2002, net position value by $23.7 million. The financial risk associated with our mortgage servicing operations is the risk that the market value of the servicing asset falls below its U.S. GAAP book value. To measure this risk, we analyze each servicing risk tranche's U.S. GAAP book value in relation to the then current market value for similar servicing rights. We perform this valuation using option-adjusted spread valuation techniques applied to each risk tranche. We produce tranche market values at least monthly. The market value of the servicing asset declines as interest rates decrease due to possible mortgage loan servicing rights impairment that may result from increased current and projected future prepayment activity. The change in value of the servicing asset due to interest rate movements is reduced by the use of financial instruments, including derivative contracts, that increase in aggregate value when interest rates decline. Based on values as of March 31, 2002, a 100 basis point parallel decrease in interest rates produces a $241.3 million decline in value of the servicing asset of our Mortgage Banking segment, net of the impact of these hedging vehicles, due to the differences between market values and U.S. GAAP book values. DERIVATIVES. We use various derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, including interest rate swaps, Principal Only swaps, interest rate floors, swaptions, U.S. Treasury futures, Treasury rate guarantees, interest rate lock commitments and mortgage-backed forwards and options. We use interest rate futures contracts and mortgage-backed forwards to hedge changes in interest rates subsequent to the issuance of an insurance liability, such as a guaranteed investment contract, but prior to the purchase of a supporting asset, or during periods of holding assets in anticipation of near term liability sales. We use interest rate swaps and Principal Only swaps primarily to more closely match the interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities. They can be used to change the interest rate characteristics of specific assets and liabilities as well as an entire portfolio. Occasionally, we will sell a callable liability or a liability 64
10-Q65th Page of 90TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 65th
with attributes similar to a call option. In these cases, we will use interest rate swaptions or similar products to hedge the risk of early liability payment thereby transforming the callable liability into a fixed term liability. We also seek to reduce call or prepayment risk arising from changes in interest rates in individual investments. We limit our exposure to investments that are prepayable without penalty prior to maturity at the option of the issuer, and we require additional yield on these investments to compensate for the risk that the issuer will exercise such option. An example of an investment we limit because of the option risk is residential mortgage-backed securities. We assess option risk in all investments we make and, when we assume such risk, we seek to price for it accordingly to achieve an appropriate return on our investments. o In conjunction with the interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions and other derivatives, we are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that counterparty fails to perform the terms of the derivative contract. The following table shows the interest rate sensitivity of our derivatives measured in terms of fair value. These exposures will change as a result of ongoing portfolio and risk management activities.

As of March 31, 2002, the aggregate fair value of debt was $1,377.3 million. A 100 basis point, immediate, parallel decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $68.1 million. 65

As of March 31, 2002, the fair value of our equity securities was $899.7 million. A 10% decline in the value of the equity securities would result in an unrealized loss of $90.0 million. We also have indirect equity risk exposure with respect to BT Financial Group margin lending operations. Under the terms of this financing arrangement, BT Financial Group margin lending operations allow retail clients and independent financial advisors on behalf of clients, within limits approved by senior management, to borrow funds from BT Financial Group to invest in an approved list of securities and mutual fund investments which serve as security for the loan. The risk of loan default increases as the value of the underlying securities declines. This risk is actively managed through the use of margin calls on loans when the underlying securities fall below established levels. Overall, the margin lending portfolio is limited to a ratio of borrowed funds to market value of securities of an average of 60%. On November 30, 1999, BT Financial Group margin lending operations securitized its margin lending portfolio with Westpac Banking Corporation, an Australian bank. Under the terms of this financing, BT Financial Group margin lending operations are required to allocate capital equal to approximately 7% of the outstanding borrowed amount, as a cushion for loan defaults. As of March 31, 2002, the margin lending portfolio was $576.5 million, or A$1,080.4 million, while the ratio of borrowed funds to market value of securities was 44%, below that of the maximum allowed. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK Foreign currency risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. This risk arises from our international operations and foreign currency-denominated funding agreements issued to non-qualified institutional investors in the international market. The notional amount of our currency swap agreements associated with foreign-denominated liabilities as of March 31, 2002, was $3,025.4 million. We also have fixed maturity securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. However, we use derivatives to hedge the foreign currency risk, both interest payments and the final maturity payment, of these funding agreements and securities. As of March 31, 2002, the fair value of our foreign currency denominated fixed maturity securities was $302.1 million. We use currency swap agreements of the same currency to hedge the foreign currency exchange risk related to these investments. The notional amount of our currency swap agreements associated with foreign-denominated fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2002, was $315.1 million. With regard to our international operations, we attempt to do as much of our business as possible in the functional currency of the country of operation. At times, however, we are unable to do so, and in these cases, we use foreign exchange derivatives to hedge the resulting risks. Additionally, we utilize foreign currency swaps related to $665.0 million of private notes issued in connection with our acquisition of BT Financial Group. The interest payments related to these notes were serviced through operating cash flows of our Australian operations. By utilizing the foreign currency and interest rate swaps, the impact of Australian and U.S. dollar exchange rate fluctuations had a minimal effect on our ability to rely on the cash flows of our Australian operations to service the interest and principal payments related to the notes. On December 28, 2001, all of the long-term debt obligations of Principal Financial Group (Australia) Holdings Pty Limited were ceased and were assumed by its parent, PFSI. 66
10-Q67th Page of 90TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 67th
We estimate that as of March 31, 2002, a 10% immediate unfavorable change in each of the foreign currency exchange rates to which we are exposed would result in no change to the net fair value of our foreign currency denominated instruments identified above, including the currency swap agreements. The selection of a 10% immediate unfavorable change in all currency exchange rates should not be construed as a prediction by us of future market events, but rather as an illustration of the potential impact of such an event. Our largest individual currency exposure is to fluctuations between the Australian dollar and the U.S. dollar. EFFECTS OF INFLATION We do not believe that inflation, in the United States or in the other countries in which we operate, has had a material effect on our consolidated operations over the past five years. In the future, however, we may be affected by inflation to the extent it causes interest rates to rise. 67

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are regularly involved in litigation, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff but primarily as a defendant. Litigation naming us as a defendant ordinarily arises out of our business operations as a provider of medical insurance, life insurance, annuities and residential mortgages. In addition, regulatory bodies, such as state insurance departments, the SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Department of Labor and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, ERISA and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. Recently, companies in the life insurance business have faced extensive claims, including class-action lawsuits, alleging improper life insurance sales practices. Principal Life is currently a defendant in two purported class-action lawsuits alleging improper sales practices. We have reached an agreement in principle to settle both of those lawsuits. The settlement has received court approval. We have established reserves at a level we believe sufficient to cover the cost of the settlement. A number of persons and entities who were eligible to be class members have excluded themselves from the class (or "opted out"), as the law permits them to do. Some of those class members have filed lawsuits and we have been notified that others who opted out from the class will file lawsuits and make claims similar to those addressed by the settlement. Similar opt-out lawsuits have been brought against other life insurance companies as a result of settlement of similar class-action lawsuits. Defense of these lawsuits may cause us to incur significant costs. At this time, we are not able to estimate the number of such lawsuits that may be filed, the costs of defending the lawsuits or whether our defense will be successful. A lawsuit was filed on September 27, 2001, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, seeking damages and other relief on behalf of a putative class of policyholders based on allegations that the plan of conversion of Principal Mutual Holding Company from a mutual insurance holding company into a stock company violates the United States Constitution. The action is captioned ESTHER L. GAYMAN V. PRINCIPAL MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY, ET AL. On April 16, 2002, the Court granted our Motion to Dismiss and ordered the lawsuit be dismissed in its entirety. On April 17, 2002, a Judgment was entered to that effect. The Plaintiffs have 30 days to file an appeal. While we cannot predict the outcome of any pending or future litigation, examination or investigation, we do not believe any pending matter will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. 68

PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED BY-LAWS Effective February 26, 2002 ARTICLE I STOCKHOLDERS Section 1.01. ANNUAL MEETINGS. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for the election of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as properly may come before such meeting shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, or, within the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, by remote electronic communication technologies and at such date and at such time, as may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors and set forth in the notice or waiver of notice of the meeting. Section 1.02. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer (or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, by the President or any Executive Vice President), or by the Board of Directors. A special meeting shall be called by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer (or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, by the President or any Executive Vice President), or by the Secretary of the Corporation pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire Board of Directors. Such special meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such places, within or without the State of Delaware, or, within the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, by remote electronic communication technologies, as shall be specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof. Any power of the stockholders of the Corporation to call a special meeting is specifically denied. Section 1.03. NOTICE OF MEETINGS; WAIVER. (a) The Secretary of the Corporation or any Assistant Secretary shall cause written notice of the place, if any, date and hour of each meeting of the stockholders, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, to be given personally by mail or by electronic transmission, not fewer than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If such notice is mailed, it shall be deemed to have been given personally to a stockholder when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the record of stockholders of the Corporation, or, if a stockholder shall have filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices to such stockholder be mailed to some other address, then directed to such stockholder at such other address. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law. (b) A written waiver of any notice of any annual or special meeting signed by the person entitled thereto, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any annual or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in a written waiver of notice. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. (c) For notice given by electronic transmission to a stockholder to be effective, such stockholder must consent to the Corporation's giving notice by that particular form of electronic transmission. A stockholder may revoke consent to receive notice by electronic transmission by written notice to the Corporation. A stockholder's consent to notice by electronic transmission is automatically revoked if the Corporation is unable to deliver two consecutive electronic transmission notices and such inability becomes known to the Secretary of the Corporation, any Assistant Secretary, the transfer agent or other person responsible for giving notice. (d) Notices are deemed given (i) if by facsimile, when faxed to a number where the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when mailed electronically to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive such notice; (iii) if by posting on an electronic network (such as a website or chatroom) together with a separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later to 75
10-Q76th Page of 90TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 76th
occur of (A) such posting or (B) the giving of the separate notice of such posting; or (iv) if by any other form of electronic communication, when directed to the stockholder in the manner consented to by the stockholder. (e) If a stockholder meeting is to be held via electronic communications and stockholders will take action at such meeting, the notice of such meeting must: (i) specify the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present and vote at such meeting; and (ii) provide the information required to access the stockholder list. A waiver of notice may be given by electronic transmission. Section 1.04. QUORUM. Except as otherwise required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of one-third of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting. Section 1.05. VOTING. If, pursuant to Section 5.05 of these By-Laws, a record date has been fixed, every holder of record of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share outstanding in his or her name on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on such record date. If no record date has been fixed, then every holder of record of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock standing in his or her name on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting and voting for nominees in the election of directors, and in all other matters, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting and voting on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Section 1.06. VOTING BY BALLOT. No vote of the stockholders on an election of Directors need be taken by written ballot or by electronic transmission unless otherwise required by law. Any vote not required to be taken by ballot or by electronic transmission may be conducted in any manner approved by the Board of Directors prior to the meeting at which such vote is taken. Section 1.07. ADJOURNMENT. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn any such meeting from time to time until a quorum is present. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation need not be given if the place, if any, date and hour thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed pursuant to Section 5.05 of these By-Laws, a notice of the adjourned meeting, conforming to the requirements of Section 1.03 hereof, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. Section 1.08. PROXIES. Any stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders may authorize another person or persons to vote at any such meeting and express such consent or dissent for him or her by proxy. A stockholder may authorize a valid proxy by executing a written instrument signed by such stockholder, or by causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature, or by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission to the person designated as the holder of the proxy, a proxy solicitation firm or a like authorized agent. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it, except in those cases where applicable law provides that a proxy shall be irrevocable. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing with the Secretary of the Corporation either an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date. Proxies by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of a writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. 76

Section 1.09. ORGANIZATION; PROCEDURE. At every meeting of stockholders the presiding officer shall be the Chairman of the Board or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, a presiding officer chosen by the Board of Directors. The Secretary of the Corporation, or in the event of his or her absence or disability, an Assistant Secretary, if any, or if there be no Assistant Secretary, in the absence of the Secretary of the Corporation, an appointee of the presiding officer, shall act as Secretary of the meeting. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at every meeting of stockholders may be determined by such presiding officer. Section 1.10. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS AND NOMInATIONS. (a) ANNUAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS. (i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (A) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board, or (B) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation. (ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, pursuant to clause (B) of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 1.10, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing or by electronic transmission to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not fewer than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting and in any event at least forty-five (45) days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the registrant first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year's annual meeting of stockholders; PROVIDED, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than thirty (30) days or delayed by more than seventy (70) days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall the adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), and Rule 14a-11 thereunder, or any successor provisions, including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected; (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and of any beneficial owner on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (2) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner. (iii) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 1.10 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice under this paragraph shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation. (b) SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS. Only such business as shall have been brought before the special meeting of the stockholders pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting pursuant to Section 1.03 of these By-Laws shall be conducted at such meeting.

SECTION VI INDEMNIFICATION Section 6.01. NATURE OF INDEMNITY. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (a "Proceeding"), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a Director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a Director or officer, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, and may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to such a Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; except that in the case of a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (1) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such Proceeding, and (2) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.05 of these By-Laws, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify a Director or officer of the Corporation in respect of a Proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such Director or officer, unless such Proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized by the Board of Directors. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Section 6.02. SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE. To the extent that a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 6.01 hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. Section 6.03. DETERMINATION THAT INDEMNIFICATION IS PROPER. Any indemnification of a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation under Section 6.01 hereof (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation unless a determination is made that indemnification of the present or former Director or officer is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 hereof. Any indemnification of a present or former employee or agent of the Corporation under Section 6.01 hereof (unless ordered by a court) may be made by the Corporation upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 hereof. Any such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a Director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such Directors designated by majority vote of such Directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such Directors, or if such Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders. Section 6.04. ADVANCE PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a Director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former Directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate. The Board of Directors may authorize the 85

Corporation's counsel to represent such Director, officer, employee or agent in any Proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is a party to such Proceeding. Section 6.05. PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Any indemnification of a Director or officer of the Corporation under Sections 6.01 and 6.02, or advance of costs, charges and expenses to a Director or officer under Section 6.04 of these By-Laws, shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the written request of the Director or officer. If a determination by the Corporation that the Director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within thirty (30) days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved such request. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnity or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article VI shall be enforceable by the Director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such Proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such Proceeding (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6.04 of these By-Laws where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 of these By-Laws, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 of these By-Laws, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Section 6.06. SURVIVAL; PRESERVATION OF OTHER RIGHTS. The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each Director, officer, employee and agent who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any Proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a "contract right" may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such Director, officer, employee or agent. The indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Section 6.07. INSURANCE. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person or on such person's behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI. Section 6.08. SEVERABILITY. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Director or officer and may indemnify each employee or agent of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to a Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 86

This offer is contingent on finalizing reference checks and obtaining the necessary corporate approvals, which we expect to finalize no later than March 15, 2002. We are also making this offer with the assumption that you have no non-competition agreement or other arrangements with Credit Suisse Asset Management that would interfere with your responsibilities with Principal. As Executive Vice President, you will report to Barry Griswell, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and will receive a compensation package consisting of cash compensation, stock options and full participation in the benefits available to an Executive Vice President of Principal. I. ANNUAL CASH COMPENSATION A. BASE COMPENSATION. Your annual base compensation will be $500,000. B. ANNUAL BONUS. Your annual bonus will be 250% of your base compensation. You will participate in Principal's Annual Incentive Pay Plan ("PrinPay"), as though you had started employment as of January 1, 2002. Bonus amounts are based on the Company meeting specified financial and customer service objectives, as well as your individual performance. C. LONG TERM BONUS. You will also participate in the Principal's Long Term Performance Plan effective as of January 1, 2002, with a target bonus of 250%. This includes two components: Fifty percent of this award is a performance plan based on three year cycles with cumulative earnings and return on average equity and company stock price driving the value of the pay out. The second component of your long-term compensation bonus (200%) will include stock options granted at fair market value with a three-year ratable vesting schedule and ten-year term. Annual grants for both of these plans may be influenced by individual performance, however, as a stated above, your target is 250% of base salary. D. MINIMUM GUARANTEE. Your annual bonus and long term bonus grant for 2002 will be guaranteed at 100% of target, and for 2003 your annual bonus and long term bonus grant will be guaranteed at 80% of target. II. SEVERANCE. A. Although you are an at-will employee, if you are terminated by the Company without cause prior to March 31, 2004, Principal will pay you the base salary and guaranteed annual bonus you would have received through March 31, 2004 had you not been terminated, in exchange for a release of all claims against the Company in a form substantially similar to Exhibit A of the Principal Financial Group, Inc. Change of Control Employment Agreement between Principal Financial Group, Inc., Principal Life Insurance Company and you dated March 15, 2002 ("COC Agreement"). 89

B. If you are terminated after March 31, 2004, without "Cause", as that term is defined in the COC Agreement, you will be paid (i) one year's base compensation and one year's annual bonus at target, and (ii) all other accrued entitlements, in accordance with the terms of the relevant plan, in exchange for a release of all claims against the Company in a form substantially similar to Exhibit A of the COC Agreement, and the provisions of Section 8.2 of the COC Agreement will apply to you for a period of six months, if the severance referred to in this sentence is paid. Except as set forth in this letter, the provisions of Section 8.2 (y) will not apply to you. II. CHANGE OF CONTROL. As an Executive Vice President of Principal, you will be expected to sign the enclosed Change of Control Employment Agreement. Please note that this agreement contains Confidentiality and Non-Competition provisions. III. BENEFITS. In addition to generous health insurance benefits, we offer an executive benefits package. Information is included about the major benefits and the package includes: A. Life insurance, dental and vision insurance and long-term disability insurance. Any eligibility waiting period for these benefits will be waived. You will also have the opportunity to purchase Group Universal life insurance and property and casualty insurance. B. A non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (cash balance plan). C. A defined contribution (401(k)) plan, with an employer match feature and attractive investment choices. D. Non-qualified plans designed to protect executives from government limits. E. Access to a financial planner. Principal will pay for up to $10,000 of planning through AMG or Deloitte and Touche in your first year of employment, and up to $7500 in subsequent years. F. Additional fringe benefits, including membership in a private club in downtown Des Moines with dining facilities. G. You will have eighty hours of Paid Time Off ("PTO") at the outset of your employment, and will then accrue eight additional PTO hours per biweekly pay period. We very much want you to join our team, and would appreciate receiving your answer by March 15. Please call me should you have any questions.
