Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of Unum UK is the British pound sterling. Unum UK’s premium income, net investment income, claims,
and expenses are received or paid in pounds, and we hold pound-denominated assets to support Unum UK’s pound-denominated policy
reserves and liabilities. We translate Unum UK’s pound-denominated financial statement items into dollars for our consolidated financial
reporting. We translate income statement items using an average exchange rate for the reporting period, and we translate balance sheet
items using the exchange rate at the end of the period. We report unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses in accumulated
other comprehensive income in our consolidated balance sheets.
