Fourth Quarter

Net income was $2.2 billion compared to a loss of $1.3 billion in the prior year quarter. The variance largely was a result of favorable changes in net realized gains (losses), including the Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative, and fair value of market risk benefits. Additionally, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of Laya Healthcare in the prior year.

Adjusted pre-tax operating income (“APTOI”) was $878 million, a 7% increase over the prior year quarter. Excluding variable investment income (“VII”), notable items and the international businesses, APTOI increased 3% over the same period largely due to growth in aggregate core sources of income.

Aggregate core sources of income was $1.8 billion, a 2% decrease from the prior year quarter largely due to the sale of our international businesses and favorable notable items in 2023. Excluding notable items and the international businesses, core sources of income increased 4% over the same period as a result of higher fee income and underwriting margin.

Premiums and deposits were $9.9 billion, a 6% decrease from an exceptional prior year quarter. Excluding transactional activity (i.e., pension risk transfer, guaranteed investment contracts and Group Retirement plan acquisitions) and the sale of the international businesses, premiums and deposits decreased 8% from the same period primarily driven by lower fixed annuity deposits partially offset by higher fixed index annuity deposits in line with broader market trends.

Full Year

Net income was $2.2 billion compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year. The variance largely was a result of favorable changes in net realized gains (losses) including the Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative. The Company completed its annual actuarial assumption review during the third quarter which decreased pre-tax income by $79 million in the current year compared to a $22 million increase in the prior year.

APTOI was $3.6 billion, a 13% increase over the prior year. Excluding VII, notable items and the international businesses, APTOI increased 7% over the prior year largely due to growth in aggregate core sources of income coupled with lower expenses. The annual actuarial assumption review decreased APTOI by $3 million in the current year compared to a $22 million increase in the prior year.

Aggregate core sources of income was $7.3 billion, a 3% increase over the prior year. Excluding notable items and the international businesses, core sources of income increased 4% over the same period as a result of higher base spread income, fee income and underwriting margin.

Premiums and deposits were $41.7 billion, a 5% increase over the prior year. Excluding transactional activity (i.e., pension risk transfer, guaranteed investment contracts and Group Retirement plan acquisitions) and the sale of the international businesses, premiums and deposits increased 14% over the same period primarily driven by higher fixed annuity deposits.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Life Fleet RBC ratio of 420-430%, remained above target

  • Holding company liquidity of $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2024, reflecting proceeds from the September and November debt issuances to pre-fund upcoming maturities in 2025

  • Financial leverage ratio2 of 31.1% reflects the impact of pre-funding debt maturing in 2025. Excluding this pre-funding, the financial leverage ratio was 28.7%

  • Returned $527 million to shareholders in the fourth quarter through $398 million of share repurchases and $129 million of dividends

  • Returned $2.3 billion to shareholders in 2024 through $1.8 billion of share repurchases and $544 million of dividends

  • Board of Directors increased the existing share repurchase authorization by $2 billion

  • Increased quarterly dividend to $0.24 per share of common stock payable on March 31, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 17, 2025

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Throughout this release, we present our financial condition and results of operations in the way we believe will be most meaningful and representative of our business results. Some of the measurements we use are ‘‘non-GAAP financial measures’’ under SEC rules and regulations. We believe presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures allows for a deeper understanding of the profitability drivers of our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results of operations and financial condition that are presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted pre-tax operating income (“APTOI”) is derived by excluding the items set forth below from income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit). These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and recording adjustments to APTOI that we believe to be common in our industry. We believe the adjustments to pre-tax income are useful for gaining an understanding of our overall results of operations.

APTOI excludes the impact of the following items:

FORTITUDE RE RELATED ADJUSTMENTS:

The modified coinsurance (“modco”) reinsurance agreements with Fortitude Re transfer the economics of the invested assets supporting the reinsurance agreements to Fortitude Re. Accordingly, the net investment income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and the net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets are excluded from APTOI. Similarly, changes in the Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative are also excluded from APTOI.

The ongoing results associated with the reinsurance agreement with Fortitude Re have been excluded from APTOI as these are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.

INVESTMENT RELATED ADJUSTMENTS:

APTOI excludes “Net realized gains (losses)”, except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments. Net realized gains (losses), except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments, are excluded as the timing of sales on invested assets or changes in allowances depend largely on market credit cycles and can vary considerably across periods. In addition, changes in interest rates may create opportunistic scenarios to buy or sell invested assets. Our derivative results, including those used to economically hedge insurance liabilities, or those recognized as embedded derivatives at fair value, are also included in Net realized gains (losses) and are similarly excluded from APTOI except earned income (periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedges or for asset replication. Earned income on such economic hedges is reclassified from Net realized gains and losses to specific APTOI line items based on the economic risk being hedged (e.g., Net investment income and Interest credited to policyholder account balances).

MARKET RISK BENEFIT ADJUSTMENTS (“MRBs”):

Certain of our variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts contain guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWBs”) and/or guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDBs”) which are accounted for as MRBs. Changes in the fair value of these MRBs (excluding changes related to our own credit risk), including certain rider fees attributed to the MRBs, along with changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge MRBs are recorded through “Change in the fair value of MRBs, net” and are excluded from APTOI. Changes in the fair value of securities used to economically hedge MRBs are excluded from APTOI.

OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

Other adjustments represent all other adjustments that are excluded from APTOI and includes the net pre-tax operating income (losses) from noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment entities. The excluded adjustments include, as applicable:

  • restructuring and other costs related to initiatives designed to reduce operating expenses, improve efficiency and simplify our organization;

  • non-recurring costs associated with the implementation of non-ordinary course legal or regulatory changes or changes to accounting principles;

  • separation costs;

  • non-operating litigation reserves and settlements;

  • loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, if any;

  • losses from the impairment of goodwill, if any; and

  • income and loss from divested or run-off business, if any.

Adjusted after-tax operating income attributable to our common shareholders (“Adjusted After-tax Operating Income” or “AATOI”) is derived by excluding the tax effected APTOI adjustments described above, as well as the following tax items from net income attributable to us:

  • reclassifications of disproportionate tax effects from AOCI, changes in uncertain tax positions and other tax items related to legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; and

  • deferred income tax valuation allowance releases and charges.

Adjusted Book Value is derived by excluding AOCI, adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re’s funds withheld assets. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio for which there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities that are not recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through OCI. It also eliminates asymmetrical impacts where our own credit non-performance risk is recorded through OCI. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re’s funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re.

Adjusted Return on Average Equity (“Adjusted ROAE”) is derived by dividing AATOI by average Adjusted Book Value and is used by management to evaluate our recurring profitability and evaluate trends in our business. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio for which there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities that are not recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through OCI. It also eliminates asymmetrical impacts where our own credit non-performance risk is recorded through OCI. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re’s funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re.

Adjusted revenues exclude Net realized gains (losses) except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments, income from non-operating litigation settlements (included in Other income for GAAP purposes) and changes in fair value of securities used to hedge guaranteed living benefits (included in Net investment income for GAAP purposes).

Net investment income (APTOI basis) is the sum of base portfolio income and variable investment income. We believe that presenting net investment income on an APTOI basis is useful for gaining an understanding of the main drivers of investment income.

Operating Earnings per Common Share (“Operating EPS”) is derived by dividing AATOI by weighted average diluted shares.

Premiums and deposits is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes direct and assumed premiums received and earned on traditional life insurance policies and life-contingent payout annuities, as well as deposits received on universal life insurance, investment-type annuity contracts and GICs. We believe the measure of premiums and deposits is useful in understanding customer demand for our products, evolving product trends and our sales performance period over period.

  • Assets Under Management and Administration (“AUMA”) is the cumulative amount of AUM and AUA.

Base net investment spread means base yield less cost of funds, excluding the amortization of deferred sales inducement assets.

Base spread income means base portfolio income less interest credited to policyholder account balances, excluding the amortization of deferred sales inducement assets.

Base yield means the returns from base portfolio income including accretion and impacts from holding cash and short-term investments.

Core sources of income means the sum of base spread income, fee income and underwriting margin, excluding variable investment income, in our Individual Retirement, Group Retirement, Life Insurance and Institutional Markets segments.

Cost of funds means the interest credited to policyholders excluding the amortization of deferred sales inducement assets.

  • Fee income is defined as policy fees plus advisory fees plus other fee income. For our Institutional Markets segment, its SVW products generate fee income.
  • Spread income is defined as net investment income less interest credited to policyholder account balances, exclusive of amortization of deferred sales inducement assets. Spread income is comprised of both base spread income and variable investment income. For our Institutional Markets segment, its structured settlements, PRT and GIC products generate spread income, which includes premiums, net investment income, less interest credited and policyholder benefits and excludes the annual assumption update.
  • Underwriting margin for our Life Insurance segment includes premiums, policy fees, other income, net investment income, less interest credited to policyholder account balances and policyholder benefits and excludes the annual assumption update. For our Institutional Markets segment, its Corporate Markets products generate underwriting margin, which includes premiums, net investment income, policy and advisory fee income, less interest credited and policyholder benefits and excludes the annual assumption update.

Financial leverage ratio means the ratio of financial debt to the sum of financial debt plus Adjusted Book Value plus non-redeemable noncontrolling interests.
