Principal Financial Group Comments on Moody's Financial Strength Rating Affirmation
Company's rating affirmed with stable outlook
(Des Moines, Iowa) – The Principal Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: PFG) today responded to Moody's announcement affirming the company's financial strength and debt ratings.
Moody's affirmed Principal Life Insurance Company's financial strength rating at "Aa2" with a stable outlook. They also affirmed the debt ratings of Principal Financial Group
®
and Principal Financial Services, Inc., all with a stable outlook.
"The Principal Financial Group is pleased with the announcement by Moody's," said Larry Zimpleman, president and CEO of the Principal Financial Group. "We continue to have a constructive dialogue with Moody's on all aspects of The Principal. We very much appreciate Moody's thorough review and the time and effort they've taken to truly understand our business given the difficult economic environment. We have robust fundamentals and a sound and well-diversified balance sheet. Our capital position is strong, with very strong liquidity, and we can take advantage of many avenues to maintain financial flexibility as needed."
The announcement by Moody's completes a very detailed review. In their announcement, Moody's said that the rating affirmation was based on Principal Life's strong, broad-based position in the U.S. markets for group pensions with a leading position in the 401(k) sector, good asset quality, conservative asset-liability management, and strong capital adequacy, as measured by its NAIC Risk-Based Capital (RBC) ratio.
Commenting on the stable outlook, Laura Bazer, vice president and senior credit officer said, "Principal Life's exposures to subprime and Alt-A RMBS securities are generally modest and manageable relative to other life insurers. While the company's gross unrealized investment losses -- particularly related to the financial sector – are significant, we expect that Principal Life's strong liquidity will enable it to hold its securities either to maturity or to their price recovery."
