Company Highlights Chris Blunt, F&G's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We delivered a strong finish to an outstanding year, highlighted by record assets under management before flow reinsurance of $73 billion fueled by $14.6 billion of gross sales in full year 2025, including $9 billion of gross sales in our core products – indexed annuities, indexed universal life and pension risk transfer. Our high quality, diversified investment portfolio continues to perform extremely well with credit-related impairments remaining stable and below our expectations." Mr. Blunt continued, "We are executing on our strategy toward a more fee-based, higher margin and less capital intensive business model to drive long-term growth. We took action to improve our operating expense ratio by 10 basis points as compared to year end 2024 and we have strengthened our capital position, augmented by the launch of our reinsurance sidecar. At the end of the year, we expanded our public float to 30% to enhance market liquidity and broaden investor access to the stock. Looking ahead to 2026, we remain focused on continuing to grow our core business and delivering long-term shareholder value." Fourth Quarter 2025 Results Record AUM before flow reinsurance was $73.1 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 12% over $65.3 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. This included record AUM of $57.6 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 7% over $53.8 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. A rollforward of AUM can be found in the "Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information" section of this release. Gross sales were $3.4 billion for the fourth quarter, slightly below $3.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024, and were driven by favorable market conditions and strong demand for retirement savings products. Core sales were $2.8 billion for the fourth quarter, in line with the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting higher indexed annuity and indexed universal life sales; partially offset by lower pension risk transfer sales. Opportunistic sales were $0.6 billion for the fourth quarter, comprised of $0.4 billion of multiyear guaranteed annuities and $0.2 of funding agreements, in line with the fourth quarter of 2024 which was comprised of multiyear guaranteed annuities. Opportunistic volumes vary quarter to quarter depending on economics and market opportunity. Net sales were $2.3 billion for the fourth quarter, down slightly from the fourth quarter of 2024; this reflects flow reinsurance at varying ceded amounts in line with capital targets for multiyear guaranteed annuities and fixed indexed annuities. Adjusted net earnings were $123 million, or $0.91 per share, compared to $143 million, or $1.12 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted net earnings include significant income and expense items and alternative investment portfolio returns from short-term mark-to-market movement that differ from long-term return expectations. As compared to the prior year quarter and excluding the above items, adjusted net earnings reflect asset growth, growing fees from accretive flow reinsurance, steady owned distribution margin and disciplined expense management driving scale benefit; partially offset by higher interest expense on debt. Full Year 2025 Results Record AUM before flow reinsurance was $73.1 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 12% over $65.3 billion as of December 31, 2024. This included record AUM of $57.6 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 7% over $53.8 billion as of December 31, 2024. A rollforward of AUM can be found in the "Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information" section of this release. Gross sales were $14.6 billion for the full year, one of our best sales years in history, driven by favorable market conditions and strong demand for retirement savings products; our all-time record of $15.3 billion was in 2024. Core sales were $9.0 billion for the full year, reflecting strong indexed annuity, indexed universal life and pension risk transfer sales; our second year of more than $9 billion in core sales. Opportunistic sales were $5.6 billion for the full year, comprised of $3.8 billion of multiyear guaranteed annuities and $1.8 billion of funding agreements, as compared to $6.1 billion in full year 2024 which was comprised of $5.1 billion of multiyear guaranteed annuities and $1.0 billion of funding agreements. Opportunistic volumes vary depending on economics and market opportunity. Net sales were $10.0 billion for the full year, as compared to $10.6 billion for full year 2024; this reflects flow reinsurance at varying ceded amounts in line with capital targets for multiyear guaranteed annuities and fixed indexed annuities. Adjusted net earnings for the full year were $482 million, or $3.64 per share, compared to $546 million, or $4.30 per share for the full year 2024. Adjusted net earnings include significant income and expense items and alternative investment portfolio returns from short-term mark-to-market movement that differ from long-term return expectations. As compared to the prior year and excluding the above items, adjusted net earnings reflect asset growth, growing fees from accretive flow reinsurance, steady owned distribution margin and disciplined expense management driving scale benefit; partially offset by higher interest expense on debt. Capital and Liquidity Highlights Total F&G equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI, was $6.0 billion, or $44.43 per share, as of December 31, 2025. This reflects an increase of $0.78 per share as compared to December 31, 2024, after the effect of the common stock offering, including $0.36 per share increase during the fourth quarter. F&G has returned capital to shareholders through common and preferred dividends of $137 million for the full year, including $38 million in the fourth quarter. The Company continues to have a strong and stable capital position with an estimated statutory company action level risk-based capital (RBC) ratio for our primary operating subsidiary of approximately 430% as of December 31, 2025, above our 400% target. At year end, F&G's Iowa operating company has recaptured approximately $900 million of the affiliated statutory liabilities from Bermuda-based F&G Life Re Ltd and received a $200 million dividend of assets. This action was taken in preparation for the planned sale of F&G Life Re Ltd as we no longer need a Bermuda operation to support our reinsurance strategy. We expect to close the sale of the F&G Life Re Ltd legal entity to Ancient Financial Holdings LP, on March 1, 2026, which will include the remaining inforce block of approximately $1.9 billion. F&G maintains strong capitalization and financial flexibility across all of our statutory balance sheets, including our offshore entities, which are conservatively managed to the most stringent capital requirements of our regulators and four rating agencies.
