HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Corebridge Financial, Inc. (“Corebridge” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CRBG) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Kevin Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Corebridge delivered another quarter of solid performance, with our diversified businesses generating $12.3 billion of sales. The VA reinsurance transaction has enhanced our position, and we are now a simpler company with a lower risk profile, higher quality of earnings, and greater growth potential.

“Since the IPO we have strengthened every element of our value proposition. We offer a broad range of retirement and protection solutions to our customers. Our businesses contribute three different sources of income which generate sustainable and growing cash flows, and help us perform through various market cycles.

“We have a strong balance sheet that provides us with significant financial flexibility to achieve our strategic objectives. The capital ratios of our insurance companies continue to exceed their targets. We have more than ample liquidity at the parent and have returned $1.4 billion to shareholders this year. We have a high-quality investment portfolio and minimal legacy liabilities. Our track record of disciplined execution speaks for itself, including the divestiture of our international operations, launch of our Bermuda strategy with a total of $18.0 billion of reserves ceded, and completion of one of the largest VA reinsurance transactions to date – all while operating for the first time as an independent company, and delivering on every target we set at the time of the IPO.

“I look forward to welcoming our next CEO knowing we have a strong foundation in place, with four market-leading businesses, a commitment to help people meet their financial needs, and a track record of value creation. Above all I remain excited about the future prospects for continued profitable growth.”

Net income was $144 million, compared to a loss of $1.2 billion in the prior year quarter. The variance largely was a result of lower realized losses on the Fortitude Re (“FRL”) funds withheld embedded derivative as well as gains from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company completed its annual actuarial assumption update during the quarter which decreased pre-tax income by $167 million in the current year compared to a $79 million decrease in prior year.

Adjusted pre-tax operating income (“APTOI”) was $654 million, a 29% decrease from the prior year quarter. Excluding variable investment income (“VII”), APTOI decreased 28% from the same period, largely due to the impact of the annual actuarial assumption update as well as favorable one-time notable items in the prior year quarter. The annual actuarial assumption update decreased APTOI by $98 million in the current year quarter compared to a $3 million decrease in the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting modeling refinements and life assumption updates. Additionally, across all segments we saw an increase in compensation-related expenses and a one-time medical accrual.

Core sources of income was $1.5 billion, a 4% decrease from the prior year quarter largely due to changes in underwriting margin due to the favorable one-time notable items in the prior year quarter, partially offset by higher fee income. Spread income was essentially flat year over year, even with the impact of the 2024 Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.

Premiums and deposits were $12.3 billion, a 34% increase over the prior year quarter. Excluding transactional activity (i.e., pension risk transfer, guaranteed investment contracts and Group Retirement plan acquisitions), premiums and deposits increased 10% from the same period primarily driven by higher fixed index annuity and RILA deposits.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Life Fleet RBC ratio2 remained above target

  • Holding company liquidity of $1.8 billion as of September 30, 2025

  • Financial leverage ratio2 of 30.8%

  • Returned $509 million to shareholders through $381 million of share repurchases and $128 million of dividends

  • Declared quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share of common stock on November 3, 2025, payable on December 31, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 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 GMWBs and/or 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 are excluded from APTOI. MRBs related to the variable annuity business subject to the reinsurance agreements with Corporate Solutions Life Reinsurance Company (“CSLR”) are reported in the “Businesses exited through reinsurance” line item.

BUSINESSES EXITED THROUGH REINSURANCE:

Represents the results of businesses that have been or will be economically exited through reinsurance. This includes MRBs, along with changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge MRBs which are recorded through “Change in the fair value of MRBs, net.” The results of operations from these businesses have been excluded from APTOI as they are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.

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, revenues from businesses exited through reinsurance, and income from non-operating litigation settlements (included in Other 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.
