(a) Net of adjustments, as applicable, to amortization of unearned revenue reserves, deferred acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements,
value of insurance inforce acquired, interest sensitive policy reserves and income taxes attributable to these items.
(b) Beginning in 2018, the change in net unrealized gains/losses on equity securities is included as an adjustment to net income.
(c) In addition to net income, FBL has consistently utilized non-GAAP operating income, a financial measure common in the
life insurance industry that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as a primary economic
measure to evaluate its financial performance. Non-GAAP operating income equals net income attributable to FBL Financial Group adjusted to
exclude the initial impact of changes in federal statutory income tax rates and tax laws, realized gains and losses on investments, and the change in
net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives and equity securities, which can fluctuate greatly from period to period. These fluctuations make it
difficult to analyze core operating trends. In addition, for derivatives not designated as hedges, there is a mismatch between the valuation of the asset
and liability when deriving net income (loss). Specifically, call options relating to indexed business are one-year assets while the embedded
derivatives in the indexed contracts represent the rights of the contract holder to receive index credits over the entire period the indexed annuities
are expected to be in force. This non-GAAP measure is used for goal setting, determining short-term incentive compensation and evaluating
performance on a basis comparable to that used by many in the investment community. FBL Financial Group believes the combined presentation
and evaluation of non-GAAP operating income, together with net income, provides information that may enhance an investor's understanding of
FBL Financial Group's underlying results and profitability.
(d) Book value per share excluding accumulated other comprehensive income is a non-GAAP measure. Accumulated other comprehensive
income totaled $186.2 million at March 31, 2018 and $285.0 million at December 31, 2017. Since accumulated other comprehensive income
fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in market value of investments causes principally by changes in market interest rates,
FBL Financial Group believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information.
