Amounts ceded under the IPO coinsurance transactions will continue to decline over time as policies terminate within this block of business. Adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating income before income taxes, net adjusted operating income and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share exclude the impact of realized investment gains (losses)<sup style="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">1</sup><sup style="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top"></sup> and fair value mark-to-market (<font style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#000000;">&#8220;</font>MTM<font style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#000000;">&#8221;</font>) investment adjustments<sup style="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">2</sup><sup style="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top"></sup>, including other-than-temporary impairments, for all periods presented. We exclude realized investment gains (losses) and MTM investment adjustments in measuring these non-GAAP financial measures to eliminate period-over-period fluctuations that may obscure comparisons of operating results due to items such as the timing of recognizing gains (losses) and market pricing variations prior to an invested asset&#8217;s maturity or sale that are not directly associated with the Company&#8217;s insurance operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;Adjusted stockholders&#8217; equity excludes the impact of net unrealized investment gains (losses) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. We exclude unrealized investment gains (losses) in measuring adjusted stockholders&#8217; equity as unrealized gains (losses) from the Company&#8217;s available-for-sale securities are largely caused by market movements in interest rates and credit spreads that do not necessarily correlate with the cash flows we will ultimately realize when an available-for-sale security matures or is sold. </p>

Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 7, 2018, Primerica, Inc. (the "Company") announced its results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information provided pursuant to this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 in Item 9.01, is "furnished" and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, and shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filings.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company presents certain non-GAAP financial measures.
Specifically, the Company presents adjusted direct premiums, other ceded premiums, adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating income before income taxes, net adjusted operating income, adjusted stockholders' equity and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share.  Adjusted direct premiums and other ceded premiums are net of amounts ceded under coinsurance transactions that were executed concurrent with our initial public offering (the "IPO coinsurance transactions") for all periods presented.
We exclude amounts ceded under the IPO coinsurance transactions in measuring adjusted direct premiums and other ceded premiums to present meaningful comparisons of the actual premiums economically maintained by the Company. Amounts ceded under the IPO coinsurance transactions will continue to decline over time as policies terminate within this block of business. Adjusted operating revenues, adjusted operating income before income taxes, net adjusted operating income and diluted adjusted operating earnings per share exclude the impact of realized investment gains (losses)
1
and fair value mark-to-market (
"
MTM
"
) investment adjustments
2
, including other-than-temporary impairments, for all periods presented. We exclude realized investment gains (losses) and MTM investment adjustments in measuring these non-GAAP financial measures to eliminate period-over-period fluctuations that may obscure comparisons of operating results due to items such as the timing of recognizing gains (losses) and market pricing variations prior to an invested asset's maturity or sale that are not directly associated with the Company's insurance operations.  Adjusted stockholders' equity excludes the impact of net unrealized investment gains (losses) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. We exclude unrealized investment gains (losses) in measuring adjusted stockholders' equity as unrealized gains (losses) from the Company's available-for-sale securities are largely caused by market movements in interest rates and credit spreads that do not necessarily correlate with the cash flows we will ultimately realize when an available-for-sale security matures or is sold.
Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions of similar measures used by other companies.  Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance.  Furthermore,
1
Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, MTM adjustments on investments held in equity securities are recognized in total revenues measured in accordance with GAAP as realized investment gains (losses) due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01. Accordingly, we excluded the impact of MTM adjustments on investments held in equity securities from adjusted operating revenues and other non-GAAP financial measures.
2
Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, the MTM adjustment on a deposit asset held in support of a 10% coinsurance agreement ("the 10% deposit asset MTM") recognized under the deposit method of accounting for GAAP has been excluded from adjusted operating revenues and other non-GAAP financial measures. Prior year non-GAAP financial results have not been recast as the 10% deposit asset MTM in the prior year was not material.
2
management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may provide users with additional meaningful comparisons between curre
nt results and results of prior periods as they are expected to be reflective of our core ongoing business.  These measures have limitations, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as re
ported under GAAP.
Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are included as attachments to the press release which has been posted in the "Investor Relations" section of our website at
