Operating earnings for 2015 declined by $35 million compared to 2014, primarily due to lower underwriting
margins in our long-term care and life products as well as lower net investment income, partially offset by higher
underwriting margins in our disability products. Operating earnings for 2014 increased by $40 million compared to
2013, primarily due to higher underwriting margins, reflecting improved experience in both our life and disability
products, partially offset by lower net investment income.
We calculate our group benefit ratio by dividing current and future benefits by total premiums. Our group benefit
ratios for the last three years were:
2015 2014 2013
Group benefit ratio 85.9% 85.2% 93.5%
