AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Principal Financial Group, Inc. and Its Subsidiaries<\/b><\/p>\n

OLDWICK, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–AM Best <\/b>has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A+ (Superior) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings (Long-Term ICRs) of \u201caa\u201d (Superior) of Principal Life Insurance Company and Principal National Life Insurance Company. Both are life insurance operating companies of Principal Financial Group, Inc. (PFG) [NASDAQ: PFG] and collectively referred to as Principal. Concurrently, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICRs of \u201ca\u201d (Excellent) of Principal Financial Services, Inc. and PFG, as well as the group\u2019s Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings (Long-Term IRs). In addition, AM Best has affirmed the group\u2019s Short-Term Issue Credit Rating (Short-Term IR). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. (Please see below for a detailed listing of the Long- and Short-Term IRs.) All companies are headquartered in Des Moines, IA.<\/p>\n

\nThe ratings reflect Principal\u2019s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, favorable business profile and very strong enterprise risk management (ERM).<\/p>\n

\nAM Best views Principal\u2019s risk-adjusted capitalization as strong, as measured by Best\u2019s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), although capital growth has been limited by dividends to the parent company. The group lowered its product risk with reinsurance in 2022, ceding its in-force retail fixed annuity and universal life insurance with secondary guarantee blocks. Since then, Principal has focused more toward fee-based products. The balance sheet strength assessment also benefits from continued favorable financial flexibility, strong liquidity profiles and significant excess capital and access to capital markets at the holding company level. AM Best\u2019s favorable view of the group\u2019s capital is offset somewhat by Principal\u2019s elevated allocations to mortgages and usage of its captive reinsurers.<\/p>\n

\nPrincipal has reported favorable profitability consistently, and has benefited from its diverse lines of business, distribution channels and leading market positions. An increasing presence internationally provides additional earnings diversity. Principal has demonstrated strong ERM through continued enhancements to its capital and risk modeling, as well as its stress-testing capabilities.<\/p>\n

\nThe following Long-Term IRs have been affirmed with stable outlooks:<\/p>\n
