AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Brighthouse Financial, Inc. and Its Subsidiaries<\/b><\/p>\n

OLDWICK, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–AM Best <\/b>has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings (Long-Term ICR) of \u201ca+\u201d of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company (headquartered in Charlotte, NC), the largest operating entity for the Brighthouse group of companies, New England Life Insurance Company (Boston, MA) and Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY (New York, NY). These entities collectively are referred to as Brighthouse and are operating insurance subsidiaries of Brighthouse Financial, Inc. (Brighthouse Financial) (headquartered in Charlotte, NC) [NASDAQ: BHF]. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (rating) is stable.\n<\/p>\n

\nConcurrently, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICR of \u201cbbb+\u201d and the Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings (Long-Term IR) of Brighthouse Financial. Additionally, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICR of \u201cbbb+\u201d and the Long-Term IR of Brighthouse Holdings, LLC, Brighthouse Financial\u2019s intermediate holding company. The outlook of these ratings is stable. (See below for a detailed listing of the Long-Term IRs.)\n<\/p>\n

\nThe ratings reflect Brighthouse\u2019s balance sheet strength, which AM Best categorizes as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, favorable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).\n<\/p>\n

\nBrighthouse has a very strong level of risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best\u2019s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). Absolute capital has been decreasing on a GAAP and a statutory basis, and there continues to be uncertainties within legacy liabilities. However, there is also good liquidity and available cash within the Brighthouse organization.\n<\/p>\n

\nBrighthouse has maintained good operating profitability on a statutory, GAAP and adjusted earnings basis despite some earnings volatility. Brighthouse recently announced that it lowered its U.S. GAAP long-term mean reversion interest rate assumption by 75 basis points to 3.0%, which affected GAAP equity negatively. While overall premiums have been impacted negatively by Brighthouse\u2019s run-off blocks of legacy life and annuity business, the company\u2019s flagship Shield Annuity product line has grown meaningfully over the past several years and Brighthouse has become a major participant in the registered index-linked annuities marketplace. It has also entered in the long-term care and life insurance combination space with Brighthouse SmartCare. Continued improvement in the company\u2019s brand, product and geographic diversification, as well as its ability to secure a strategic alliance with BlackRock to provide simplified access to lifetime income are all positive rating factors warranting the favorable business profile.\n<\/p>\n

\nPartially offsetting these positive rating factors is the continued high level of exposure to interest rate and equity market sensitivities. However, Brighthouse\u2019s ERM program is well-developed and designed to assess and manage exposures on a consolidated, company-wide basis. AM Best acknowledges that the economic risks associated with interest rate and equity market movements are well-hedged in many stress scenarios.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe following Long-Term IRs have been affirmed with stable outlooks:\n<\/p>\n

\nBrighthouse Financial, Inc.\n<\/p>\n

\n— \u201cbbb+\u201d on $1.5 billion 3.7% senior unsecured notes due 2027 ($1.3 billion outstanding)\n<\/p>\n

\n— \u201cbbb+\u201d on $615 million 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2030\n<\/p>\n

\n— \u201cbbb-\u201d on $425 million 6.6% non-cumulative preferred stock, Series A\n<\/p>\n

\n— \u201ca+\u201d rating on the notes issued hereunder\n<\/p>\n

\nThe following indicative Long-Term IRs have been affirmed with stable outlooks:\n<\/p>\n
