Please see the “Second Quarter 2025 Results” and “Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information” sections for further explanation. Second Quarter 2025 Highlights • Record assets under management, driven by record retail sales: F&G achieved record assets under management before flow reinsurance of $69.2 billion at the end of the second quarter, an increase of 13% over the second quarter of 2024. This included retained AUM of $55.6 billion. F&G delivered $4.1 billion of gross sales in the second quarter, one of our strongest sales quarters driven by record retail channel sales; net sales were $2.7 billion • Excellent credit performance in the investment portfolio: The investment portfolio is performing well, with 97% of fixed maturities being investment grade. It is well matched to our liability profile and diversified across asset types. Credit-related impairments have remained low and stable, averaging 6 basis points over the past five years and remained below pricing assumptions through the first half of 2025 • Reported adjusted return on assets (ROA) includes short-term fluctuations in investment income from alternative investments: Adjusted ROA of 71 basis points in the second quarter; adjusted ROA of 92 basis points over the last twelve months (LTM), as compared to 91 basis points in the second quarter 2024 LTM; reflects growing contributions from flow reinsurance and owned distribution • Growing adjusted return on equity (ROE) ex AOCI: Adjusted ROE excluding AOCI (including short- term fluctuations in investment income from alternative investments) was 8.8% for the second quarter, up 40 bps as compared to 8.4% in the second quarter of 2024 • On track to achieve our Investor Day targets: We continue to make strong progress toward the medium- term targets set out at our 2023 Investor Day • Continued focus on organic growth and return of capital to shareholders: F&G returned $35 million of capital to shareholders from common and preferred dividends in the second quarter Chris Blunt, F&G’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We grew AUM before flow reinsurance to $69.2 billion at the end of the second quarter, an increase of 13% from second quarter 2024, driven by strong sales. Our business is benefiting from increased scale, as our ratio of operating expense to AUM before flow reinsurance has decreased by 5 basis points from the second quarter of 2024, and we expect further improvement in the second half of the year. Our high quality investment portfolio is performing well and credit related impairments remain below our pricing assumption. Overall, we have had tremendous growth since FNF acquired F&G in June 2020, with a cumulative


 
58% increase in book value per share excluding AOCI since year-end 2020, to $43.39 at the end of the second quarter.” Mr. Blunt continued, “F&G benefits from both spread-based and fee-based earnings, including our flow reinsurance, middle market life insurance and owned distribution strategies which leverage our position as one of the industry’s largest distributors of annuities and life insurance. We remain confident that we will deliver on our medium-term Investor Day targets as we move further toward a more fee-based, higher margin and less capital intensive business model.” Summary Financial Results1 (In millions, except per share data) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 June 30, 2024 2025 2024 Gross sales $ 4,106 $ 4,420 $ 7,008 $ 7,915 Net sales $ 2,744 $ 3,445 $ 4,925 $ 5,747 Assets under management (AUM) $ 55,565 $ 52,208 $ 55,565 $ 52,208 Average assets under management (AAUM) YTD $ 54,521 $ 50,181 $ 54,521 $ 50,181 AUM before flow reinsurance $ 69,161 $ 61,370 $ 69,161 $ 61,370 Adjusted return on assets 0.71 % 0.98 % 0.71 % 0.98 % Adjusted return on average equity (ex.

This included retained AUM of $55.6 billion, an increase of 7% over $52.2 billion at the end of the second quarter 2024. A rollforward of AUM can be found in the “Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information” section of this release. Gross sales were $4.1 billion, one of our best sales quarters in history, driven by record retail channel sales and strong pension risk transfer sales; our all-time record of $4.4 billion was in the second quarter of 2024. Record retail channel sales were more than $3.6 billion, 13% higher than the second quarter of 2024; this reflects one of our best quarters for indexed annuities, as well as a record quarter for both indexed universal life and multiyear guaranteed annuity sales. Institutional market sales were $0.5 billion of pension risk transfer sales, compared to $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2024 with $0.9 billion of funding agreements and $0.3 billion of pension risk transfer sales. Institutional sales are opportunistic and volumes vary quarter to quarter. Net sales were $2.7 billion, compared to $3.4 billion in the second quarter of 2024; this reflects third party flow reinsurance at varying ceded amounts in line with capital targets. Adjusted net earnings of $103 million, or $0.77 per share, compared to $139 million, or $1.10 per share for the second quarter of 2024.

Investment income from alternative investments was $20 million, or $0.15 per share, below management’s long-term expected return of approximately 10% As compared to the prior year quarter, adjusted net earnings reflect asset growth, higher fees from accretive flow reinsurance, higher 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 $5.9 billion, or $43.39 per share, as of June 30, 2025. This reflects an increase of $0.08 per share during the quarter, including $0.62 per share increase from adjusted net earnings and other; partially offset by $0.36 per share net decrease for mark-to-market movements and $0.18 per share decrease from capital actions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, this presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, which the Company believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in certain instances to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other organizations because other organizations may not calculate such non-GAAP measures in the same manner as we do. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation of or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. By disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures, the Company believes it offers investors a greater understanding of, and an enhanced level of transparency into, the means by which the Company’s management operates the Company. Any non-GAAP


 
measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net earnings, net earnings attributable to common shareholders, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or liquidity. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided within.

DEFINITIONS The following represents the definitions of non-GAAP measures used by F&G: Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to common shareholders Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders is a non-GAAP economic measure we use to evaluate financial performance each period. Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders is calculated by adjusting net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders to eliminate: (i) Recognized (gains) and losses, net: the impact of net investment gains/losses, including changes in allowance for expected credit losses and other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses, recognized in operations; and the effects of changes in fair value of the reinsurance related embedded derivative and other derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forwards; (ii) Market related liability adjustments: the impacts related to changes in the fair value, including both realized and unrealized gains and losses, of index product related derivatives and embedded derivatives, net of hedging cost; the impact of initial pension risk transfer deferred profit liability losses, including amortization from previously deferred pension risk transfer deferred profit liability losses; and the changes in the fair value of market risk benefits by deferring current period changes and amortizing that amount over the life of the market risk benefit; (iii) Purchase price amortization: the impacts related to the amortization of certain intangibles (internally developed software, trademarks and value of distribution asset and the change in fair value of liabilities recognized as a result of acquisition activities); (iv) Transaction costs: the impacts related to acquisition, integration and merger related items; (v) Other and “non-recurring,” “infrequent” or “unusual items”: Other adjustments include removing any charges associated with U.S. guaranty fund assessments as these charges neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company’s business nor reflect the Company’s underlying business performance, but result from external situations not controlled by the Company. Further, Management excludes certain items determined to be “non-recurring,” “infrequent” or “unusual” from adjusted net earnings when incurred if it is determined these expenses are not a reflection of the core business and when the nature of the item is such that it is not reasonably likely to recur within two years and/or there was not a similar item in the preceding two years; (vi) Non-controlling interest on non-GAAP adjustments: the portion of the non-GAAP adjustments attributable to the equity interest of entities that F&G does not wholly own; and (vii) Income taxes: the income tax impact related to the above-mentioned adjustments is measured using an effective tax rate, as appropriate by tax jurisdiction. While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of F&G, market conditions and/or the non-operating nature of these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the core business. Accordingly, management considers this to be a useful measure internally and to investors and analysts in analyzing the trends of our operations. Adjusted net earnings should not be used as a substitute for net earnings (loss). However, we believe the adjustments made to net earnings (loss) in order to derive adjusted net earnings provide an understanding of our overall results of operations. Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding Adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding is the same as weighted average diluted shares outstanding except for periods in which our preferred stocks are calculated to be dilutive to either net earnings attributable to common shareholders or adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders, but not both, or there is a net earnings loss attributable to common shareholders on a GAAP basis, but positive adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders using the non-GAAP measure. The above exceptions are made to include relevant diluted shares when dilution occurs and exclude relevant diluted shares when dilution does not occur for adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders. Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to common shareholders per Diluted Share Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders per diluted share is calculated as adjusted net earnings plus preferred stock dividend (if the preferred stock has created dilution). This sum is then divided by the adjusted weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders. Adjusted Return on Assets attributable to Common Shareholders Adjusted return on assets attributable to common shareholders is calculated by dividing year-to-date annualized adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders by year-to-date AAUM. Return on assets is comprised of net investment income, less cost of funds, flow reinsurance fee income, owned distribution margin and less expenses (including operating expenses, interest expense and income taxes) consistent with our adjusted net earnings definition and related adjustments. Cost of funds includes liability costs related to cost of crediting as well as other liability costs. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing financial performance and profitability earned on AAUM.


 
Adjusted Return on Average Common Shareholder Equity, excluding AOCI Adjusted return on average common shareholder equity is calculated by dividing the rolling four quarters adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders, by total average F&G equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI. Average equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI for the twelve month rolling period is the average of 5 points throughout the period. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be a useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level return driven by the Company's adjusted earnings. Assets Under Management (AUM) AUM is comprised of the following components and is reported net of reinsurance assets ceded in accordance with GAAP: (i) total invested assets at amortized cost, excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates, owned distribution and derivatives; (ii) investments in unconsolidated affiliates at carrying value; (iii) related party loans and investments; (iv) accrued investment income; (v) the net payable/receivable for the purchase/sale of investments; and (vi) cash and cash equivalents excluding derivative collateral at the end of the period. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the size of our investment portfolio that is retained. AUM before Flow Reinsurance AUM before Flow Reinsurance is comprised of AUM plus flow reinsured assets, including certain block reinsured assets that have the characteristics of flow reinsured assets.
