AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL, INC. (NYSE:AMP) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial
Condition.

On April24, 2017, Ameriprise Financial,Inc. (the Company, we, or
our) issued a press release announcing its financial results for
the first quarter of 2017. A copy of the press release is
attached as Exhibit99.1 to this Current Report on Form8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference and furnished herewith. In
addition, the Company furnishes herewith, as Exhibit99.2, its
Statistical Supplement for the quarterly period ended March31,
2017.

We follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (GAAP). The press release furnished as Exhibit99.1 and the
financial information furnished as Exhibit99.2 include
information on both a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis. Certain
non-GAAP performance measures in these exhibits exclude the
impact of consolidating certain investment entities (CIEs), as
well as certain integration/restructuring charges, the impact of
our annual review of insurance and annuity valuation assumptions
and model changes (unlocking), market impact on variable annuity
guaranteed benefits, market impact on indexed universal life
benefits, market impact of hedges to offset interest rate changes
on unrealized gains or losses for certain investments, net
realized investment gains (losses) and income (loss) from
discontinued operations. Management believes that the
presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures better reflects
the underlying performance of our 2017 and 2016 core operations
and facilitates a more meaningful trend analysis. Exhibits 99.1
and 99.2 also contain certain non-GAAP debt, capital and
shareholders equity measures, along with financial ratios
incorporating such measures that exclude amounts related to one
or more of the following: accumulated other comprehensive income
(AOCI), fair value of hedges, unamortized discount, debt issuance
costs, capital lease obligations and the impact of consolidating
the assets and liabilities of certain CIEs. Management believes
that these non-GAAP debt, capital and shareholders equity
measures, and the corresponding ratios, better represent our
capital structure. Management uses certain of these non-GAAP
measures to evaluate our financial performance on a basis
comparable to that used by some securities analysts and
investors. Also, certain of these non-GAAP measures are taken
into consideration, to varying degrees, for purposes of business
planning and analysis and for certain compensation-related
matters.

Our non-GAAP financial measures included in Exhibits 99.1 and
99.2, which our management views as important indicators of
financial performance, include the following: adjusted net pretax
operating margin; adjusted operating earnings; adjusted operating
revenues; Ameriprise Financial shareholders equity excluding
AOCI; Ameriprise Financial shareholders equity excluding CIEs;
Ameriprise Financial shareholders equity excluding CIEs and AOCI;
