NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Accounting Practices

The financial statements of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (Thrivent Financial) are presented on the basis of accounting practices and procedures prescribed by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Wisconsin. The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Wisconsin recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed by the State of Wisconsin for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company, for determining its solvency under the Wisconsin Insurance Law. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC) Statutory Accounting Practices and Procedures (SAP) manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed practices by the State of Wisconsin. The Office of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Wisconsin has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices. A reconciliation of Thrivent Financial's net income and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed and permitted by the state of Wisconsin is shown below:

B. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with SAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes to the financial statements. The more significant estimates involve those relating to fair values of investments, reserves for life, health and annuity contracts, pension and other retirement benefit liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

C. Accounting Policy

Traditional life premiums are recognized as income over the premium paying period of the related policies. Variable life, universal life and annuity premiums are recognized as revenue when received. Deposits on deposit-type contracts are entered directly as a liability when received. Health premiums are earned over the terms of the insurance policies. Expenses incurred in connection with acquiring new insurance business, including acquisition costs such as sales commissions, are charged to operations as incurred. The amount of dividends to be paid to policyholders is determined annually by Thrivent Financial’s Board of Directors. The aggregate amount of policyholders’ dividends is related to actual interest, mortality, morbidity, and expense experience for the year and judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory surplus to be retained by Thrivent Financial. In addition, Thrivent Financial uses the following accounting policies: (1) Short-term investments have contractual maturities of one year or less at the time of

acquisition. Investments in money market mutual funds are carried at fair value and investments in commercial paper and agency notes are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

6. Joint Ventures, Partnerships, and Limited Liability Companies

A. Thrivent Financial has no investments in Joint Ventures, Partnerships, or Limited Liability

Companies that exceed 10% of its admitted assets.

B. During 2016, there were $1 million of impairment losses recognized on investments in Joint Ventures, Partnerships, or Limited Liability Companies and these losses are included in net realized gains and losses on the Summary of Operations.

7. Investment Income

A. Investment income due and accrued was excluded from surplus on the following bases: All investment income due and accrued with amounts that are over 90 days past due with the exception of mortgage loans in default.

B. The amount of investment income due and accrued that was nonadmitted and excluded from surplus was $1 million at both December 31, 2016 and 2015.

8. Derivative Instruments

A-C. Thrivent Financial uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage investment risks, to reduce interest rate and duration imbalances determined in asset/liability analyses and to offset risks associated with the guaranteed living benefits features of certain variable annuity products. The accounting for derivatives complies with the guidance as outlined in SSAP No. 86, Derivatives.

Thrivent Financial uses over-the-counter S&P 500 index call spread options (i.e. buying call options and selling cap call options) to manage risks associated with its fixed indexed deferred annuities. The call options are reported at fair value as a derivatives asset and the cap call options are reported at fair value as a derivatives liability. The changes in the fair value of the call spread options are recorded in unrealized gains and losses.

Thrivent Financial utilizes exchange-traded futures to reduce market risk from changes in

interest rates, to alter mismatches between the duration of assets in a portfolio and the duration of liabilities supported by those assets and to hedge against changes in the value of securities it owns or anticipates acquiring or selling. In exchange-traded futures transactions, Thrivent agrees to purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the values of which are determined by the values of designated classes of securities, and to post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily market values of those contracts. The fair value of exchange-traded futures is based on market quotes. Cash paid for the future contract is recorded as a derivatives asset. The future contracts are valued at fair value at each reporting period and the change in the fair value is recognized in earnings.

Thrivent Financial sells covered written call option contracts to enhance the return on

residential mortgage-backed “to be announced” collateral which it owns. The premium received for these call options is recorded as a derivatives liability at book value at each reporting period. All positions in these contracts are settled at month end. Upon disposition of the options, the gains are recorded as a component of net investment income. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, $10 million and $12 million were received in call premium, respectively.

Thrivent Financial utilizes foreign currency swaps to manage the risk associated with changes in the exchange rate of foreign currency to U.S. dollar payments. The swaps are valued at fair value at each reporting period, and the change in the fair value is recognized in earnings. No cash is exchanged at the outset of the swaps, and interest payments received are recorded as a component of net investment income. The statement values of the swaps are $20 million and $21 million for years ended 2016 and 2015, respectively.

D. Thrivent Financial has no unrealized gains or losses recognized on derivatives designated for

hedge accounting that were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. E. Thrivent Financial has no unrealized gains or losses that were recognized on derivatives that

no longer qualify for hedge accounting. F. Thrivent Financial has no cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions.

The assets of Thrivent Financial’s qualified defined benefit plan are held in trust. Thrivent Financial has a benefit plan advisory committee that sets investment guidelines, which are established based on market conditions, risk tolerance, funding requirements and expected benefit payments. A third party oversees the investment allocation process and monitors asset performance. As pension liabilities are long-term in nature, Thrivent Financial employs a long-term total return approach to maximize the long-term rate of return on plan assets for a prudent level of risk. The investment portfolio contains a diversified portfolio of investment categories including equities and fixed income securities. Securities are also diversified in terms of domestic and international securities, short and long-term securities, growth and value styles, large cap and small cap stocks, active and passive management and derivative-based styles. With prudent risk tolerance and asset diversification, the plan is expected to meet its pension obligations in the future.

D. As pension liabilities are long-term in nature, Thrivent Financial employs a long-term total return

approach to maximize the long-term rate of return on plan assets for a prudent level of risk. The investment portfolio contains a diversified portfolio of investment categories including equities and fixed income securities. Securities are also diversified in terms of domestic and international securities, short and long-term securities, growth and value styles, large cap and small cap stocks, active and passive management and derivative-based styles. With prudent risk tolerance and asset diversification, the plan is expected to meet its pension obligations in the future.

E. Defined Contribution Plans

Thrivent Financial provides contributory and noncontributory defined contribution retirement benefits, which cover substantially all home office and field employees. Eligible participants in the 401(k) plan may elect to contribute a percentage of their eligible earnings and Thrivent Financial will match participant contributions up to six percent of eligible earnings. In addition, Thrivent Financial will contribute a percentage of eligible earnings for participants in a non-contributory plan for field employees. A portion of the assets of the defined contribution plans were invested in a deposit administration contract issued by Thrivent Financial. The amounts of these assets were $90 million and $93 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Employer contributions to the plans were $34 million and $32 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The financial instruments of Thrivent Financial have been classified, for disclosure purposes, into one of three categories based on the evaluation of the amount of observable and unobservable inputs used to determine fair value.

Fair Value Descriptions Level 1 Financial Instruments Level 1 financial instruments reported at fair value include certain bonds, unaffiliated common stocks and short-term investments. Bonds and unaffiliated common stocks primarily are valued using quoted prices in active markets. Short-term investments consist of money market mutual funds whose fair value is based on the quoted daily net asset values of the invested funds.

Level 1 financial instruments not reported at fair value include bonds, which are priced based on quoted market prices, and primarily include U.S. Treasury bonds, cash and certain cash equivalents.

Level 2 Financial Instruments Level 2 financial instruments reported at fair value include, certain unaffiliated common stocks, short-term investments and assets held in separate accounts. Unaffiliated common stocks are valued based on market quotes where the stocks are not considered actively traded. Short-term investments are valued using significant observable inputs. The fair values for separate account assets are based on published daily net asset values of the funds in which the separate accounts are invested.

Level 2 financial instruments not reported at fair value include bonds, unaffiliated preferred stocks, cash equivalents and short-term investments, other invested assets and liabilities related to separate accounts.

Bonds that are priced using a third party pricing vendor primarily include certain corporate debt securities and asset-backed securities. Pricing from a third party pricing vendor varies by asset class but generally includes inputs such as estimated cash flows, benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, bids, offers, credit quality, industry events and economic events. If Thrivent Financial is unable to obtain a price from a third party pricing vendor, management may obtain broker quotes or utilize an internal pricing model specific to the asset. The internal pricing models apply practices that are standard among the industry and utilize observable market data. Fair values of unaffiliated preferred stocks are based on market quotes where these securities are not considered actively traded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Cash equivalents and short-term investments includes investments in commercial paper and agency notes. The carrying amounts for these investments approximate their fair values. Other invested assets include investments in surplus notes in which the fair values are based on quoted market prices. The carrying amounts of liabilities related to separate accounts reflect the amounts in the separate account assets and approximate their fair values.

Level 3 Financial Instruments

Level 3 financial instruments reported at fair value include other invested assets, which consist of certain derivatives. The fair value is determined using independent broker quotes.

Level 3 financial instruments not reported at fair value include bonds, mortgage loans, contract loans, limited partnerships, real estate, other invested assets, deferred annuities, other deposit contracts and other liabilities.

Level 3 bonds primarily include private placement debt securities and convertible bonds. Private placement debt securities are valued using internal pricing models specific to the assets using unobservable inputs such as issuer spreads, estimated cash flows, internal credit ratings and volatility adjustments. Market comparable discount rates ranging from 0% to 12% are used as the base rate in the discounted cash flows used to determine the fair value of certain assets. Increases or decreases in the credit spreads on the comparable assets could cause the fair value of assets to significantly decrease or increase, respectively. Additionally, Thrivent Financial may adjust the base discount rate or the modeled price by applying an illiquidity premium of 25 basis points, given the highly structured nature of certain assets. Convertible bonds are valued using third party broker quotes to determine fair value.

Limited partnerships include private equity investments. The fair values of these investments are estimated based on assumptions in the absence of observable market data. In determining fair value the following valuation techniques are generally used: most recent capital balance adjusted for current cash flows; internal valuation methodologies designed for specific asset classes, primarily sponsor valuations or net asset value; discounted cash flow models; or applying current market multiples to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

The fair values for mortgage loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amounts for contract loans approximate their fair values. The fair value of real estate held-for-sale is based on current market price assessments on the properties. Other invested assets primarily include real estate joint ventures. The fair values of real estate joint venture investments are derived using GAAP audited financial statements.

The fair values for deferred annuities and other deposit contracts, which include supplementary contracts without life contingencies, deferred income settlement options and refunds on deposit, are estimated to be the cash surrender value payable upon immediate withdrawal. The fair values for other liabilities, which consist of certain derivatives, are derived from broker quotes.

D. Thrivent Financial has no financial instruments where it is not practicable to estimate the fair

value as of December 31, 2016. 21. Other Items

A. Thrivent Financial had no unusual or infrequent events or transaction. B. Thrivent Financial had no troubled debt restructuring. C. Thrivent Financial had no other items requiring disclosure. D. Thrivent Financial had no business interruption insurance recoveries that have occurred during

the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 that should be disclosed. E. Thrivent Financial had no state transferable and non-transferable tax credits.

F. Subprime Mortgage Related Risk Exposure.

(1) Thrivent Financial holds approximately $197 million of residential mortgage backed

securities that meet our definition of subprime mortgage exposure which is based on a FICO score of less than 650 or mortgages with less than conventional documentation. The majority of Thrivent Financial's exposure is fixed rate mortgage loans.

At year-end 2016, no premium deficiency reserve is required for Disability Income. A premium deficiency reserve of $281 million will be held for Long Term Care Insurance.

B. General Nature and Characteristics of Separate Accounts Business

Most separate and variable accounts held by Thrivent Financial relate to individual variable life and variable annuities of a non-guaranteed return nature. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the contract holder and can be positive or negative. Variable annuities generally provide an incidental death benefit. One block of variable annuities provides the greater of account value or premium paid during the first six years after issue. At the end of the sixth year and every six years thereafter, the minimum guaranteed death benefit is adjusted to the current account value. Another block of variable annuities provides the greater of the current account value, premium paid, and the highest past anniversary account value (maximum anniversary). In 2002, Thrivent Financial began offering a variable annuity with the following minimum guaranteed death benefits options: maximum anniversary, premium accumulation, and earnings addition, along with the basic death benefit which is the greater of the account value or premium paid. Variable life contracts generally provide an incidental death benefit as long as required premiums have been paid. The assets and liabilities of these accounts are carried at market value. The minimum guaranteed death benefit reserves for life insurance and annuities are held in Exhibit 5 of the General Account. This business has been included in the table below. In 2002, Thrivent Financial began offering a non-indexed separate account variable annuity with a guaranteed return of less than 4%. These accounts are subject to withdrawal with a market value adjustment. The assets and liabilities of these accounts are carried at market value. This business has been included in the table below.

In 2005, Thrivent Financial began offering a variable annuity with a minimum guaranteed account balance on money invested in specific allocation subaccounts. This block has been closed for new sales as of December 2013.

In 2007, Thrivent Financial began offering a variable annuity guaranteed living withdrawal benefit

rider. The money is invested in specific allocation subaccounts. As of December 31, 2016, Thrivent Financial has $47 million in seed money (M.V.) invested in

separate account business.
