NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Brookfield Reinsurance Ltd. (“Brookfield Reinsurance” or the “Company”) is a Bermuda corporation incorporated on December 10, 2020 and governed by the laws of Bermuda. The Company’s class A and class A-1 exchangeable shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “BNRE” and “BNRE.A”, respectively. The Company’s operations are located primarily in Bermuda, the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and the Cayman Islands. The Company’s registered head office address is Ideation House, 1st Floor, 94 Pitts Bay Road, Pembroke, HM08, Bermuda.
The Company operates a leading capital solutions business providing insurance and reinsurance services to individuals and institutions. Through its operating subsidiaries, Brookfield Reinsurance offers a broad range of insurance products and services, including life insurance and annuities, and personal and commercial property and casualty insurance. The business is presently conducted through our subsidiaries under three reporting segments: Direct Insurance, Reinsurance and Pension Risk Transfer (“PRT”).

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) and notes thereto, including all prior periods presented, have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and have been presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”) rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise indicated. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and accompanying notes included on the Form 20-F (“2023 Form 20-F”), filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent periods or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented in accordance with GAAP.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts and disclosures that require use of estimates are: fair value of certain financial assets, derivatives, allowances for credit losses, deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), value of business acquired (“VOBA”), goodwill and other intangibles, market risk benefits, future policy benefits (“FPB”), pension plans, income taxes including the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, and the potential effects of resolving litigated matters. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainties, which may result in actual amounts differing from reported amounts.
Basis of Consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, which are legal entities where the Company has a controlling financial interest by either holding a majority voting interest or as the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity (“VIE”). All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The consolidation assessment depends on the specific facts and circumstances for each entity and requires judgment. Refer to Note 2 of the 2023 Form 20-F for a further description of the Company’s accounting policies regarding consolidation.
New Accounting Standards
In the current period, the Company did not adopt any Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that were material in presentation or amount. For the impacts of recently issued ASUs not yet adopted as of March 31, 2024, refer to Note 2 of the 2023 Form 20-F.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Several assumptions and underlying estimates are made in the evaluation of allowance for credit loss. Examples include financial condition, near term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer, including relevant industry conditions and trends and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices. Based on this evaluation, unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities where an allowance for credit loss was not recorded were concentrated within the financials sector as of March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – financials sector).
The rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities is shown below for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Credit Quality Indicators
Mortgage loans are segregated by property-type and quantitative and qualitative allowance factors are applied. Qualitative factors are developed quarterly based on the pooling of assets with similar risk characteristics and historical loss experience adjusted for the expected trend in the current market environment. Credit losses are pooled by property type as it represents the most similar and reliable risk characteristics in our portfolio. The amortized cost of mortgage loans by year of origination by property-type are shown below:

NOTE 8. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS
Through its investment activities, the Company regularly invests in various entities including limited partnerships (“LPs”) and limited liability companies (“LLCs”) and frequently participates in the design with their sponsors, but in most cases, its involvement is limited to financing. Some of these entities have been determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). In certain instances, in addition to an economic interest in the entity, the Company holds the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity and is deemed the primary beneficiary. The Company consolidates all VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary. The assets of consolidated VIEs are restricted and must first be used to settle their liabilities. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the Company’s obligation is limited to the amount of its committed investment. The Company has not provided financial or other support to these consolidated VIEs in the form of liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments to third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of its variable interest in these VIEs as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
In addition to investment activities, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are deemed VIEs. The Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidates these entities in the same manner as other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest by holding a majority voting interest.

(b)Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
For certain of the Company’s investments in various entities that are determined to be VIEs, the Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not take an active role in the management of these investments. In some instances, a consolidated VIE involves one or more underlying entities for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary because the Company does not have the power to direct the most significant activities of these entities. These unconsolidated VIEs are accounted for using the equity method of accounting or at amortized cost and are reflected in “Real estate and real estate partnerships” or “Mortgage loans on real estate” on the statements of financial position. In addition, certain equity securities at fair value are the Company’s interests in limited partnerships that are unconsolidated VIEs. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the Company’s obligation is limited to the amount of its committed investment. The Company has not provided financial or other support to these unconsolidated VIEs in the form of liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments to third-parties that may affect the fair value or risk of its variable interest in these VIEs as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(c)Equity Method Investments
The Company’s investments in investment funds, real estate partnerships and other partnerships of which substantially all are LPs or LLCs are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s equity method investments are $5.6 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively.
As described in Note 2 of the 2023 Form 20-F, the Company generally recognizes its share of earnings in its equity method investments within “Net investment income” using a three-month lag in instances where the investee’s financial information is not sufficiently timely or when the investee’s reporting period differs from the Company’s reporting period.

NOTE 9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company manages risks associated with certain assets and liabilities by using derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are financial contracts whose value is derived from underlying interest rates, exchange rates or other financial instruments. The Company does not invest in derivatives for speculative purposes.
Foreign exchange forwards, options, cross currency swaps, interest rate swaps and interest rate options are over-the-counter contractual agreements negotiated between counterparties. The Company purchases equity-indexed options as economic hedges against fluctuations in the equity markets to which equity-indexed products are exposed. Equity-indexed contracts include a fixed host universal-life insurance or annuity contract and an equity-indexed embedded derivative. Futures contracts are traded in an organized market and are contractual obligations to buy or sell a financial instrument at a predetermined future time at a given price.
The notional principal represents the amount to which a rate or price is applied to determine the cash flows to be exchanged periodically and does not represent credit exposure. Maximum credit risk is the estimated cost of replacing derivative financial instruments which have a positive value, should the counterparty default.
Derivatives, except for embedded derivatives, are included in “Other invested assets” or “Other liabilities”, at fair value in the statements of financial position. Embedded derivative assets and liabilities on Modco arrangements and embedded derivative liabilities on indexed annuity and variable annuity products are included in the statements of financial position within the “Reinsurance funds withheld” and “Policyholders’ account balances” lines respectively, at fair value.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Starting in the third quarter of 2023, the Company has designated and accounted for certain foreign exchange forwards as fair value hedges to protect a portion of the available-for-sale fixed maturity securities against changes in fair value due to changes in exchange rates.
For derivative financial instruments that were designated and qualified as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the portion of the derivative instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk were recognized in the same line item in the statements of operations. The unrealized gain or loss attributable to changes in exchange rates on the available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that were designated as part of the hedge were reclassified out of OCI into “Investment related gains (losses)” in the statements of operations. The remaining change in unrealized gain or loss on the hedged item not associated with the risk being hedged remained as a component of OCI.
The following represents the financial statement location and amount of gains (losses) related to the derivatives and hedged items that qualify for fair value hedge accounting:

Derivative Exposure
The Company’s use of derivative instruments exposes it to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. The Company has a policy of only dealing with counterparties it believes are creditworthy and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means to mitigating the financial loss from defaults. The minimum credit rating of our counterparties is BBB as of March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – BBB). The Company holds collateral in cash and notes secured by U.S. government-backed assets. The non-performance risk is the net counterparty exposure based on fair value of open contracts less fair value of collateral held. The Company maintains master netting agreements with its current active trading partners. A right of offset has been applied to collateral that supports credit risk and has been recorded in the statements of financial position as an offset to “Other invested assets” with an associated payable to “Other liabilities” for excess collateral. A right of offset has also been applied to derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty under the same master netting agreement, and such derivative instruments are presented on a net basis in the statements of financial position.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. A fair value hierarchy is used to determine fair value based on a hypothetical transaction as of the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant. The Company has evaluated the types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. The classification of assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are defined as follows:
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2
Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models and third-party evaluation, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation

Valuation Techniques for Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value

Available-for-sale Fixed Maturity Securities and Equity Options — The Company utilizes pricing services to estimate fair value measurements. The fair value for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that are disclosed as Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets that are readily available in an active market. The estimates of fair value for most available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, including municipal bonds, provided by the pricing service are disclosed as Level 2 measurements as the estimates are based on observable market information rather than market quotes. The pricing service utilizes market quotations for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Since available-for-sale fixed maturity securities generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service prepares estimates of fair value measurements for these securities using its proprietary pricing applications, which include available relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. Additionally, an option adjusted spread model is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios.
The pricing service evaluates each asset class based on relevant market information, credit information, perceived market movements and sector news. The market inputs utilized in the pricing evaluation, listed in the approximate order of priority, include: benchmark yields, reported trades, pricing source quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and economic events. The extent of the use of each market input depends on asset class and the market conditions. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of inputs may change or some market inputs may not be relevant. For some securities, additional inputs may be necessary.
The Company has reviewed the inputs and methodology used and the techniques applied by the pricing service to produce quotes that represent the fair value of a specific security. The review confirms that the pricing service is utilizing information from observable transactions or a technique that represents a market participant’s assumptions. The Company does not adjust quotes received from the pricing service. The pricing service utilized by The Company has indicated that they will only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information available.
The Company holds a small amount of private placement debt and available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that have characteristics that make them unsuitable for matrix pricing. For these securities, a quote from an independent pricing source (typically a market maker) is obtained. Due to the disclaimers on the quotes that indicate the price is indicative only, the Company includes these fair value estimates in Level 3.
For securities priced using a quote from an independent pricing source, such as the equity-indexed options and certain available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, the Company uses a market-based fair value analysis to validate the reasonableness of prices received. Price variances above a certain threshold are analyzed further to determine if any pricing issue exists. This analysis is performed quarterly.
27




Equity Securities — For publicly-traded equity securities, prices are received from a nationally recognized pricing service that are based on observable market transactions, and these securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. For certain preferred stock, current market quotes in active markets are unavailable. In these instances, an estimated fair value is received from the pricing service. The service utilizes similar methodologies to price preferred stocks as it does for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities. If applicable, these estimates would be disclosed as Level 2 measurements. The Company tests the accuracy of the information provided by reference to other services annually. For certain private equity without readily determinable fair values, fair value estimates are unavailable and are not disclosed.
Short-term Investments — Short-term investments are primarily commercial paper rated A2 or P2 or better by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, respectively. Commercial paper is carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value. These investments are classified as Level 2 measurements.
Separate Account Assets and Liabilities — The separate account assets included on the quantitative disclosures fair value hierarchy table are comprised of short-term investments, equity securities, and available-for-sale fixed maturity. Equity securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. Short-term investments and available-for-sale fixed maturity securities are classified as Level 2 measurements. These classifications for separate account assets reflect the same fair value level methodologies as listed above as they are derived from the same vendors and follow the same process.
The separate account assets also include cash and cash equivalents, investment funds, accrued investment income, and receivables for securities. These are not included in the quantitative disclosures of fair value hierarchy table.
Reinsurance Funds Withheld – Embedded Derivatives — Valuation model is based on quoted prices of similar, traded securities in active markets. For example, interest rates and yield curves observed at commonly quoted intervals, implied volatility, credit spread and market-corroborated inputs.
Market Risk Benefits are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements as the fair value is based on unobservable inputs. The key assumptions for calculating the fair value of the MRBs are market assumptions such as equity market returns, interest rate levels, market volatility and correlations and policyholder behavior assumptions such as lapse, mortality, utilization and withdrawal patterns. Risk margins are included in the policyholder behavior assumptions. The assumptions are based on a combination of historical data and actuarial judgment. The MRBs are valued using stochastic models that incorporate a spread reflecting our non-performance risk.
Derivative Assets/Derivative Liabilities
Foreign currency forward contracts — discounted cash flow model — forward exchange rates (from observable forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period); discounted at a credit adjusted rate.
Interest rate contracts — discounted cash flow model — forward interest rates (from observable yield curves) and applicable credit spreads discounted at a credit adjusted rate.
Equity-index options — certain over-the-counter equity options are valued using models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry with non-market observable inputs such as volatility and forward price/dividend assumptions. Other primary inputs include interest rate assumptions (risk-free rate assumptions), and underlying equity quoted index prices for identical or similar assets in markets that exhibit less liquidity relative to those markets.
Policyholders’ Account Balances – Embedded Derivatives — The amounts reported within policyholder contract deposits include equity linked interest crediting rates based on the S&P 500 within indexed annuities and indexed life. The following unobservable inputs are used for measuring the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with the policyholder contract liabilities:
Lapse rate assumptions are determined by company experience. Lapse rates are generally assumed to be lower during a contract’s surrender charge period and then higher once the surrender charge period has ended. Decreases to the assumed lapse rates generally increase the fair value of the liability as more policyholders persist to collect the crediting interest pertaining to the indexed product. Increases to the lapse rate assumption decrease the fair value.
Mortality rate assumptions vary by age and gender based on company and industry experience. Decreases to the assumed mortality rates increase the fair value of the liabilities as more policyholders earn crediting interest. Increases to the assumed mortality rates decrease the fair value as higher decrements reduce the potential for future interest credits.
Equity volatility assumptions begin with current market volatilities and grow to long-term values. Increases to the assumed volatility will increase the fair value of liabilities, as future projections will produce higher increases in the linked index.

Funds Withheld Liabilities — Valuation model is based on quoted prices of similar, traded securities in active markets. For example, interest rates and yield curves observed at commonly quoted intervals, implied volatility, credit spread and market-corroborated inputs.
Separately Managed Accounts — The separately managed account manager uses the mid-point of a range from a third-party to price these securities. Discounted cash flows (yield analysis) and market transactions approach are used in the valuation. They use discount rates which is considered an unobservable input.

Fair Value Information About Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value
Information about fair value estimates for financial instruments not measured at fair value is discussed below:
Mortgage Loans — The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses on a loan-by-loan basis by applying a discount rate to expected cash flows from future installment and balloon payments. The discount rate takes into account general market trends and specific credit risk trends for the individual loan. Factors used to arrive at the discount rate include inputs from spreads based on U.S. Treasury notes and the loan’s credit quality, region, property-type, lien priority, payment type and current status.
Private Loans — The fair value of private loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses on a loan-by-loan basis by applying a discount rate to expected cash flows from future installment and balloon payments. The discount rate takes into account general market trends and specific credit risk trends for the individual loan.
Policy Loans — The carrying value of policy loans is the outstanding balance plus any accrued interest. Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans such that they cannot be separated from the policy contracts, the unpredictable timing of repayments and the fact that settlement is at outstanding value, as such the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value.
Corporate and Subsidiary Borrowings — Corporate and subsidiary borrowings are carried at outstanding principal balance. The carrying value approximates fair value because the carrying value represents the amount owing and payable to the creditor at the reporting date.
Notes Payable — Notes payable are carried at outstanding principal balance. The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value because the underlying interest rates approximate market rates at the reporting date.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are shown below. The table below excludes cash and cash equivalents and accrued investment income, which are recorded at amortized cost in the statements of financial position, as their carrying amounts approximate the fair values due to their short-term nature.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the periods presented. The Company’s valuation of financial instruments categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy are based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable or had a decline in market activity that obscured observability. The indicators considered in determining whether a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for a specific asset has occurred include the level of new issuances in the primary market, trading volume in the secondary market, the level of credit spreads over historical levels, applicable bid-ask spreads, and price consensus among market participants and other pricing sources. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models and discounted cash flow methodology based on spread/yield assumptions.

NOTE 16. ACQUISITION
Acquisition of Argo Group International Holdings, Inc.
On November 16, 2023, the Company acquired Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. On November 30, 2023, Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd. was re-domiciled to a U.S. corporation and changed its name to Argo Group International Holdings, Inc. (“Argo”). Argo is an underwriter of specialty insurance products in the property and casualty market. Upon closing of the acquisition, the Company acquired 100% of all Argo’s issued and outstanding shares in exchange for $30 per share in an all-cash transaction for $1.1 billion. The Company acquired all assets and assumed all liabilities of Argo as of the closing date, and consolidates the business for financial statement purposes. The acquired business contributed revenues of $191 million and net profit of $1 million to the Company for the period from November 16, 2023 to December 31, 2023. Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022, the consolidated unaudited pro forma revenue and net profit (loss) would be $8.3 billion and $587 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $6.1 billion and $326 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022. The pro forma amounts have been calculated using the subsidiary’s results and adjusting them for the revised depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to investments, property and equipment and intangible assets had applied from January 1, 2022, together with the consequential tax effects.
Accounting for the acquisition of Argo is not finalized, and there remains some measurement uncertainty on the acquisition valuation, which is pending completion of a comprehensive evaluation of the net assets acquired within the next twelve months, including but not limited to identifiable intangible assets, fixed assets, deferred income tax assets and liabilities for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses. The financial statements as of March 31, 2024 reflect management’s current best estimate of the purchase price allocation. Final valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the completion of the purchase price allocation will occur by the fourth quarter of 2024.
The initial acquisition accounting resulted in a bargain purchase gain, which represents the excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the purchase price. As of March 31, 2024, due to the aforementioned twelve-month measurement period, the Company deferred the recognition of such gain by recognizing a provisional deferred credit of $51 million within “Other liabilities” on the statements of financial position. The provisional bargain purchase gain was attributable to the negotiation process with Argo.

NOTE 20. LIABILITY FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIM ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES
The liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses (“unpaid claims”) for property and casualty insurance is included in “Policy and contract claims” in the statements of financial position and is the amount estimated for incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims and claims that have been reported but not settled (“case reserves”), as well as associated claim adjustment expenses.
Information regarding the liability for unpaid claims is shown below:

The estimates for ultimate incurred claims attributable to insured events of prior years increased by approximately $7 million and decreased by approximately $11 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The unfavorable development in the first quarter of 2024 was primarily related to movements on large individual surety claims within the specialty line of business, which were partially offset by lower-than-anticipated losses arising from the liability line of business, such as business owners, commercial automotive and other commercial businesses. The favorable development in the first three months of 2023 was a reflection of lower-than-anticipated losses arising from the liability line of business, including agribusiness, business owners, commercial automotive, and other commercial businesses.
For short-duration health insurance claims, the total of IBNR plus expected development on reported claims included in the liability for unpaid claims as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $3 million and $4 million, respectively.

The facility borrowings are secured by the underlying investments related to the credit facility drawings. As of March 31, 2024, the facility had $752 million outstanding (December 31, 2023 – $776 million).
The Company also has a $500 million 364-day secured facility, maturing in April 2024. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the facility was fully drawn.
The Company also has a credit facility with Brookfield maturing in June 2025 that, as of March 31, 2024, permitted borrowings of up to $400 million under the Brookfield Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts drawn on the facility.

NOTE 22. INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the effective tax rate on pre-tax income was 6.9%. The Company's effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate of 17.5% primarily due to international operations subject to different tax rates and changes in tax rates and imposition of new tax legislation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the effective tax rate on pre-tax income was a recovery of 10.1%. The Company's effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate of 17.0% primarily due to international operations subject to different tax rates.
Introduction of Pillar Two
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) and its member countries with support from the G20, have proposed the enactment of a global minimum tax of 15% for Multinational Enterprise (“MNE”) groups with global annual revenue of €750 million or more (“Pillar Two”). The Company may become subject to additional income taxes as a result of these proposals, as enacted locally across jurisdictions.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and is not required to pay any taxes in Bermuda based upon income or capital gains. However, in December 2023, the Government of Bermuda enacted a corporate income tax (“CIT”) regime, designed to align with the OECD’s global minimum tax rules. Effective January 1, 2025, the regime applies a 15% CIT to Bermuda businesses that are part of MNE groups with annual revenue of €750 million or more. As a result of this new regime, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of $35 million as of December 31, 2023. We will continue to monitor developments prior to the commencement of this regime.
The Company has foreign operating subsidiaries principally located in Bermuda, the U.S., Canada and the Cayman Islands, as well as the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). The U.K. enacted legislation in July 2023 implementing certain provisions of Pillar Two and has also stated its intention to implement the undertaxed payment rule (“UTPR”). The planned adoption of the UTPR in the U.K. would enable other jurisdictions to impose taxes on a portion of an MNE’s global profits that are subject to an effective tax rate below the 15% minimum rate. While Canada has signaled its intention to fully enact Pillar Two legislation, its legislation is currently in draft. The U.S. and the Cayman Islands have not yet passed legislation with respect to Pillar Two.
The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the global minimum tax requirements by monitoring the legislative changes relating to Pillar Two and assessing their impact on our operations and financial statements.

NOTE 27. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s operations are organized into three reporting segments: Direct Insurance, Reinsurance and PRT. These segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
The key measure used by the CODM in assessing performance and in making resource allocation decisions is Distributable Operating Earnings (“DOE”).
DOE is calculated as net income excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, and breakage and transaction costs, as well as certain investment and insurance reserve gains and losses, including gains and losses related to asset and liability matching strategies, non-operating adjustments related to changes in cash flow assumptions for future policy benefits and change in market risk benefits, and is inclusive of returns on equity invested in certain variable interest entities and the Company’s share of adjusted earnings from investments in certain associates. DOE allows the CODM to evaluate the Company’s segments on the basis of return on invested capital generated by its operations and allows the Company to evaluate the performance of its segments.
The tables below provide each segment’s results in the format that the CODM reviews its reporting segments to make decisions and assess performance.

Our Direct Insurance business involves direct origination of insurance policies including life, annuity, health and property and casualty products. Total premium revenues recorded within our Direct Insurance segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were primarily from transactions with U.S. retail customers. As stated in Note 16, the Company closed its acquisition of Argo in November 2023. Argo’s operations are included in the Direct Insurance segment in their entirety.
Our Reinsurance business is focused primarily on the reinsurance of annuity-based products and transacts with direct insurers and other reinsurers. All existing reinsurance contracts are with U.S.-based insurance companies. Total premium revenues recorded within our Reinsurance segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were from transactions with two U.S. ceding companies.
Total premium revenues recorded within our PRT segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were from Canadian and U.S. counterparties.
For the purpose of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the CODM monitors the assets, including investments accounted for using the equity method, liabilities and common equity attributable to each segment.

NOTE 28. FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
As of March 31, 2024, subsidiaries of the Company had outstanding commitments to purchase, expand or improve real estate and to fund mortgage loans, private loans and investment funds of $5.2 billion (December 31, 2023 – $5.4 billion).
In addition, the subsidiaries of the Company had outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – $941 million).
Certain of our subsidiaries lease insurance sales office space, technological equipment and automobiles. The remaining long-term lease commitments as of March 31, 2024 were approximately $9 million (December 31, 2023 – $14 million) and are included in the Company’s statements of financial position within “Other Liabilities”.
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Agreements
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have access to the FHLB’s financial services including advances that provide an attractive funding source for short-term borrowing and for access to other funding agreements. As of March 31, 2024, certain municipal bonds and collateralized mortgage obligations with a fair value of approximately $6 million (December 31, 2023 – $8 million) and commercial mortgage loans of approximately $899 million (December 31, 2023 – $977 million) were on deposit with the FHLB as collateral for borrowing. As of March 31, 2024, the collateral provided borrowing capacity of approximately $615 million (December 31, 2023 – $646 million). The deposited securities and commercial mortgage loans are included in the statements of financial position within “Available-for-sale fixed maturity securities” and “Mortgage loans on real estate”, respectively.
Litigation
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits concerning alleged breaches of contracts, various employment matters, allegedly deceptive insurance sales and marketing practices, and miscellaneous other causes of action arising in the ordinary course of operations. Certain lawsuits include claims for compensatory and punitive damages. We provide accruals for these items to the extent we deem the losses probable and reasonably estimable. After reviewing these matters with legal counsel, based upon information presently available, management is of the opinion that the ultimate resultant liability, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the statements of financial position, liquidity or results of operations; however, assessing the eventual outcome of litigation necessarily involves forward-looking speculation as to judgments to be made by judges, juries and appellate courts in the future.
Such speculation warrants caution, as the frequency of large damage awards, which bear little or no relation to the economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, continues to create the potential for an unpredictable judgment in any given lawsuit. These lawsuits are in various stages of development, and future facts and circumstances could result in management changing its conclusions. It is possible that, if the defenses in these lawsuits are not successful, and the judgments are greater than management can anticipate, the resulting liability could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. With respect to the existing litigation, management currently believes that the possibility of a material judgment adverse to the Company is remote. Accruals for losses are established whenever they are probable and reasonably estimable. If no one estimate within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, an accrual is recorded based on the lowest amount of the range.

NOTE 29. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 2, 2024, the Company closed the acquisition of American Equity Investment Life Holding Company (“AEL”), a leading U.S. annuity platform, by acquiring all of the outstanding shares of common stock of AEL the Company does not already own in a cash and stock transaction that values AEL at $56.50 per share. Due to the recent closing of the acquisition, the complete valuation and initial purchase price accounting for the business combination is not available as of the date of release of these financial statements. As a result, the Company has not provided amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for certain major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company extended the maturity on its $500 million 364-day secured facility to April 2025.

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we reported net income of $337 million, compared to a net loss of $93 million in the prior year quarter. The increase of $430 million is primarily due to growth in our business and redeployment of capital into higher yielding investments. We also benefited from the contribution of Argo in the quarter, following the acquisition in November 2023.
Net premiums and other policy revenue were $1.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $897 million in the prior year quarter. The increase of $746 million is primarily due to a higher number of PRT deals closed in 2024 including continued growth within our U.S. business, which contributed $538 million of premiums.
Net investment income increased by $174 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, relative to the prior year quarter. Net investment income is comprised of interest and dividends earned on financial instruments, equity investments and other miscellaneous fee income. The increase from the prior year quarter was driven by the growth in our investment portfolio and the rotation into higher yielding investment strategies.
We recorded $145 million of investment related gains for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $251 million over the prior year quarter, which recognized a $106 million loss. The increase is primarily driven by mark-to-market movements on our investments and derivative assets.
Net investment results from funds withheld increased by $212 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior year quarter. This increase is primarily driven by mark-to-market gains on embedded derivatives arising from our modified coinsurance reinsurance treaties.
59




Interest sensitive contract benefits represent interest credited to policyholders’ account balances from our investment contracts with customers, as well as amortization of deferred revenue. Commissions for acquiring and servicing policies represent any sales commission payments or incremental costs of obtaining the contract that are amortized over the contract term subsequent to initial capitalization. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the amounts decreased by $18 million in aggregate, primarily driven by surrenders and withdrawals activities in our Reinsurance segment during the quarter.
Change in fair value of market risk benefit represents the mark-to-market movements of our liability based on the protection to the policyholder from capital market risk. The loss of $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily due to movements in interest rates used in the valuation of these liabilities.
Operating expenses were $295 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $176 million in the prior year quarter, which represents an increase of $119 million. The increase was primarily driven by the contribution of expenses from Argo, as well as additional costs incurred to support the continued growth of our business.
Interest expense increased by $12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily driven by increased borrowing activity related to the Argo acquisition, coupled with higher interest rates.
Distributable Operating Earnings (“DOE”) increased by $134 million to $279 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by new business, higher spread earnings and a full quarter of earnings contribution from Argo.

Comparison as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023
Total assets increased by $1.5 billion during the quarter to $63.1 billion, primarily driven by capital deployment from annuity sales during the quarter, including new PRT deals.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.7 billion from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 primarily driven by the redeployment of cash and cash equivalents into short-term investments. We continue to maintain a strong liquidity position across our segments. For further information, refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of the MD&A.
61




Total investments increased by $2.7 billion from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, primarily driven by capital deployed from new business wins, coupled with redeployment of cash and cash equivalents into short-term investments.
Reinsurance funds withheld remained largely consistent from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 as mark-to-market gains on the embedded derivatives due to movements in rates were largely offset by a reduction in our investment balance withheld.
Deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) are capitalized costs directly related to writing new policyholder contracts and include the value of business acquired (“VOBA”) intangible assets. The balance remained largely consistent from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 as DAC additions arising from new business wins were largely offset by the amortization of DAC and VOBA.
Ceded unearned premiums represent a portion of unearned premiums ceded to reinsurers. The increase of $165 million from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 is primarily driven by additional reinsurance agreements within our Direct Insurance segment intended to reduce our exposure to products deemed non-core.
Reinsurance recoverables are estimated amounts due to the Company from reinsurers or cedants, related to paid and unpaid ceded benefits, claims and expenses and are presented net of reserves for collectability. The balance remained consistent from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 with new business cessions being offset by reinsurance settlements.
Other assets were $843 million as of March 31, 2024, increasing by $113 million from December 31, 2023. The balance includes current tax asset, market risk benefit asset, prepaid pension assets, as well as other miscellaneous receivables. The increase is primarily driven by the increase in our current tax asset and accounts receivable.
Separate account assets and liabilities both increased by $96 million from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, principally due to net realized gains in underlying assets.
Future policy benefits and policyholders’ account balances increased by $778 million from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024, primarily driven by new premiums and interest sensitive contract benefits as the business continues to expand across our segments.
Policy and contract claims increased by $109 million from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 driven by the loss experience of our P&C business during the quarter.
Corporate and subsidiary borrowings decreased by $24 million from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 as the repayment of corporate borrowings was largely offset by the additional subsidiary borrowings made during the quarter.
Redeemable junior preferred shares, issued to Brookfield in 2022, increased by $28 million due to accrued dividends during the quarter.

SEGMENT REVIEW
The Company’s operations are organized into three operating segments: Direct Insurance, Reinsurance and PRT.
We measure operating performance primarily using DOE which measures our ability to acquire net insurance assets at a positive margin, and invest these assets at a return that is greater than the cost of policyholder liabilities.
Direct Insurance
The following table presents DOE of our Direct Insurance segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

US$ MILLIONS
20242023
DOE$232 $110 
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
DOE within our Direct Insurance business represents contribution from our direct origination annuity, life and P&C businesses operated by American National as well as P&C business operated by Argo.
DOE increased by $122 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to a full quarter of earnings contribution from Argo as well as increased investment income from our continued deployment into higher yielding investment strategies.
DOE related to our Direct Insurance business also includes financing costs associated with subsidiary borrowings and corporate overhead directly related to the segment.
Reinsurance
The following table presents DOE of our Reinsurance segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

DOE increased to $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $11 million from the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by the continued scale-up of our U.S. PRT business. During the quarter, we closed a total of 16 PRT deals across our U.S. and Canadian markets, representing $776 million of premiums (2023 – 18 deals representing $175 million).

Lines of Business
Direct Insurance
Our Direct Insurance business is operated primarily through American National and Argo. American National offers life insurance, annuities, credit insurance, pension products and P&C insurance for personal lines, agribusiness and certain commercial exposures, whereas Argo offers P&C coverages. Our primary insurance products and coverages are as follows:
Life Insurance
Whole Life – Whole life products provide a guaranteed benefit upon the death of the insured in return for the periodic payment of a fixed premium over a predetermined period. Premium payments may be required for the entire life of the contract, to a specified age or a fixed number of years, and may be level or change in accordance with a predetermined schedule. Whole life insurance includes some policies that provide a participation feature in the form of dividends. Policyholders may receive dividends in cash or apply them to increase death benefits or cash values available upon surrender, or reduce the premiums required to maintain the contract in-force.
Universal Life – Universal life insurance products provide coverage through a contract that gives the policyholder flexibility in premium payments and coverage amounts. Universal life products may allow the policyholder, within certain limits, to increase or decrease the amount of death benefit coverage over the term of the contract and to adjust the frequency and amount of premium payments. Universal life products are interest rate sensitive, and we determine the interest crediting rates during the contract period, subject to policy specific minimums. An equity-indexed universal life product is credited with interest using a return that is based, in part, on changes in an index, such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”), subject to a specified minimum.
Variable Universal Life – Variable universal life products provide insurance coverage on a similar basis as universal life, except that the policyholder bears the investment risk because the value of the policyholder’s account balance varies with the investment experience of the securities selected by the policyholder held in the separate account.
Credit Life Insurance – Credit life insurance products are sold in connection with a loan or other credit account. Credit life insurance products are designed to pay the lender the borrower’s remaining debt on a loan or credit account if the borrower dies during the coverage period.
Annuities
Deferred Annuities – A deferred annuity is an asset accumulation product. Deposits are received as a single premium deferred annuity or in a series of payments for a flexible premium deferred annuity. Deposits are credited with interest at our determined rates subject to policy minimums. For certain limited periods of time, usually from one to ten years, interest rates are guaranteed not to change. Deferred annuities usually have surrender charges that begin at issue and reduce over time and may have market value adjustments that can increase or decrease any surrender value. An equity-indexed deferred annuity is credited with interest using a return that is based, in part, on changes in an index, such as the S&P 500, subject to a specified minimum.
Single Premium Immediate Annuities A single premium immediate annuity (“SPIA”) is purchased with one premium payment, providing periodic (usually monthly or annual) payments to the annuitant for a specified period, such as for the remainder of the annuitant’s life. Return of the original deposit may or may not be guaranteed, depending on the terms of the annuity contract.
Variable Annuities – With a variable annuity, the policyholder bears the investment risk because the value of the policyholder’s account balance varies with the investment experience of the separate account investment options selected by the policyholder. Our variable annuity products have no guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits. This product accounts for less than 1% of our annuity business.
Property and Casualty
Liability Liability lines include a broad range of primary and excess casualty products, such as specialty casualty, construction defect, general liability, commercial multi-peril, workers compensation, product liability, environmental liability and auto liability. Liability lines are generally considered long-tailed as it takes a relatively long period of time to finalize and resolve all claims from a given accident year. Some products have long claims reporting lags and/or longer time lags for payment of claims.
64




Professional – Professional lines provide both admitted and non-admitted policies for professional liability such as management liability (including directors and officers), transaction liability and errors and omissions liability. Professional lines are generally considered long-tailed as it takes a relatively long period of time to finalize and resolve all claims from a given year.
Property – Property lines offer policies protecting various types of personal and commercial properties from man-made and natural disasters, including property insurance for homeowners and renters, inland marine and auto physical damages. Property lines are considered short-tailed as claims are generally known quickly and resolved in a short period of time.
Specialty – Specialty lines include niche insurance coverages such as surety, animal mortality and ocean marine. Specialty lines are considered generally short-tailed as claims are typically known relatively quickly, although it may take a longer period of time to finalize and resolve all claims from a given year.
Reinsurance
Within our Reinsurance business, we are focused primarily on the reinsurance of annuity-based products and primarily seek to transact with direct insurers and other reinsurers.
Annuities are insurance contracts that provide a defined income stream, typically for retirement planning. Policyholders deposit money with an insurance company in return for a fixed stream of cash flows either immediately or in the future. Reinsurance is an arrangement whereby an insurance company, the reinsurer, agrees to indemnify another insurance company, referred to as the ceding company or cedant, for all or a portion of the insurance risks that are underwritten by the ceding company. Reinsurance serves multiple purposes, including to (i) transfer insurance risk off of a ceding company’s balance sheet, enabling it to more efficiently manage balance sheet capacity to increase the volume of business it can underwrite; (ii) stabilize a ceding company’s operating results; (iii) assist the cedant in achieving applicable regulatory requirements; and (iv) optimize the overall financial strength and capital structure of the cedant.
Reinsurance may be structured as a block transaction, pursuant to which a reinsurer contractually assumes assets and liabilities associated with an in-force book of business, or as a flow arrangement, pursuant to which a reinsurer contractually agrees to assume assets and liabilities for future business.
We primarily seek to reinsure three types of annuity products: fixed annuities, fixed index annuities and payout annuities.
Fixed Annuities – A fixed annuity (“FA”) is a type of insurance contract that provides a fixed rate of investment return (often referred to as a crediting rate) for a specified period of time. Fixed rate reset annuities have a crediting rate that is typically guaranteed for a period of one year, after which insurers are able to change the crediting rate at their discretion, generally to any rate at or above a previously guaranteed minimum rate. Insurers earn income on FA contracts by generating a net investment spread, which is based on the difference between income earned on the investments supporting the liabilities and the crediting rate owed to customers.
Fixed Index Annuities – A fixed index annuity (“FIA”) is an insurance contract in which the policyholder makes one or more premium deposits that earn interest at a crediting rate based on a specified market index. Policyholders are entitled to recurring or lump sum payments for a specified period of time. FIAs provide policyholders with the ability to earn interest without significant downside risk to their principal balance. A market index tracks the performance of a specific group of stocks or other assets representing a particular segment of the market, or in some cases, an entire market. A policyholder’s crediting rate in relation to a market index is based on the change in the relevant market index, subject to a pre-defined cap (a maximum rate that may be credited), spread (a credited rate determined by reducing a specific rate from the index return) and/or a participation rate (a credited rate equal to a percentage of the index return). Insurers earn income on FIA contracts based on a net investment spread, which is the difference between income generated on investments supporting the liabilities and the interest that is credited to policyholders.

Payout Annuities – A payout annuity is an income-generating insurance product. In exchange for a lump-sum premium, the policyholder receives a series of guaranteed income payments for one lifetime, two lifetimes, or a specified period of time. Insurers earn income on payout annuity contracts based on a net investment spread, which is the difference between income generated on investments supporting the liabilities and the interest that is credited to policyholders.
We operate our Reinsurance business through licensed operating companies, NER Ltd. and NER SPC. As of the date of this MD&A, our subsidiaries have reinsurance and retrocession agreements with two third parties to reinsure blocks of U.S. fixed annuities and fixed indexed annuities.
Pension Risk Transfer
PRT is the transfer by a corporate sponsor of the risks, or some of the risks, associated with the sponsorship and administration of a pension plan, in particular, investment risk and longevity risk. Longevity risk represents the risk of an increase in life expectancy of plan beneficiaries. These risks can be transferred either to an insurer like us through a group annuity transaction, or to an individual through a lump-sum settlement payment. PRT using insurance typically involves a single premium group annuity contract that is issued to a pension plan by an insurer, permitting the corporate pension plan sponsor to discharge certain pension plan liabilities from its balance sheet.
A PRT insurance transaction may be structured as either a buy-out annuity or a buy-in annuity. Under a buy-out annuity, a direct insurer enters into a group annuity contract with the plan sponsor and assumes the liability to fund, administer and pay benefits covered under the contract directly to the individual pension plan members covered under the contract. Under a buy-in annuity, the insurer enters into a group annuity contract with the plan sponsor and is liable to fund and pay the benefits covered under the contract to the pension plan fund, with the plan sponsor retaining the liability to administer and pay pension benefits to plan members. In both cases, the insurer assumes the investment and longevity risks. In the U.S., a PRT insurance transaction may further be structured as either a general account annuity or a separate account annuity. A separate account annuity offers an added layer of protection and security to the annuitants as the assets supporting the pension liabilities are held in a separate account, insulated from an insurer’s general account. Under GAAP, buy-out and buy-in annuities are accounted for without distinguishing one another, and separate account annuities are treated as general account products.
We seek to earn income on PRT group annuities by generating a net investment spread, which is based on the difference between income earned on the investments supporting the annuity contract and the cost of the pension liabilities assumed.
Today, our PRT business is primarily operated in the U.S. and Canada. Our Canadian PRT business is operated through BAC, a Canadian domiciled, licensed and regulated direct life insurance company that provides PRT solutions to organizations across Canada. Through American National, we also operate a U.S. PRT business, which became licensed during 2022 and successfully completed its first PRT transaction in December 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
CAPITAL RESOURCES
We strive to maintain sufficient financial liquidity at all times so that we are able to participate in attractive opportunities as they arise, better withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances within our operating subsidiaries and maintain payments to policyholders, as well as maintain distributions to our shareholders. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from our operations, access to the Company’s third-party credit facilities, and our credit facility and equity commitment with Brookfield. We proactively manage our liquidity position to meet liquidity needs and continue to develop relationships with lenders who provide borrowing capacity at competitive rates, while looking to minimize adverse impacts on investment returns. We look to structure the ownership of our assets to enhance our ability to monetize them to provide additional liquidity, if needed. Our corporate liquidity for the periods noted below consisted of the following:

Undrawn credit facilities720 720 
Total Corporate Liquidity1
$1,007 $1,010 
1.See “Performance Measures used by Management”.
As of the date of this MD&A, our liquidity is sufficient to meet our present requirements for the foreseeable future. In June 2021, Brookfield provided to the Company an equity commitment in the amount of $2.0 billion to fund future growth, which the Company may draw on from time to time. The equity commitment may be called by the Company in exchange for the issuance of Class C shares or junior preferred shares. As of March 31, 2024, there was $2.0 billion of undrawn equity commitment available. In addition, in connection with the Spin-off, we entered into a credit agreement with Brookfield as the lender, providing a revolving $400 million credit facility. In addition, we have $750 million revolving credit facilities with external banks. We use the liquidity provided by our credit facilities for working capital purposes, and we may use the proceeds from the capital commitment to fund growth capital investments and acquisitions. The determination of which of these sources of funding the Company will access in any particular situation is a matter of optimizing needs and opportunities at that time. As of the date of this MD&A, there were no amounts drawn on the Brookfield facility.
Today, we have significant liquidity within our insurance portfolios, giving us flexibility to secure attractive investment opportunities. In addition to a portfolio of highly liquid financial assets, our operating companies have additional access to liquidity from sources such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) within our Direct Insurance segment. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no drawings and a total of $615 million undrawn commitment available related to this program.
Liquidity within our operating subsidiaries may be restricted from time to time due to regulatory constraints. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s total liquidity was $27.6 billion, which included $89 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $198 million of unrestricted liquid financial assets held by non-regulated corporate entities.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
The following table presents a summary of our cash flows and ending cash balances for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MAR. 31
US$ MILLIONS

Net change during the period(1,728)210 
Foreign exchange on cash balances held in foreign currencies(6)(1)
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period$2,574 $2,354 
Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we generated $232 million of cash from operating activities compared to $198 million generated during the prior year quarter. The increase is primarily due to growth in the business benefitting from the contribution by Argo during the quarter as well as an increase in PRT deals written.
Investing Activities
During the current quarter, we rotated our investment portfolio into higher yielding investment strategies while also deploying a portion of our cash and cash equivalents into short-term investments to benefit from higher interest rates. This resulted in higher net deployment during the period of $2.3 billion of cash from investing activities, compared to a net deployment of $74 million in the prior year quarter.
Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we noted a net cash inflow of $333 million from our financing activities, compared to a net cash inflow of $86 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by deposits received on policyholders’ accounts coupled with reduced repayment activity on our borrowings.
Financial Instruments
To the extent that we believe it is economic to do so, our strategy is to hedge a portion of our equity investments and/or cash flows exposed to foreign currencies by the Company. The following key principles form the basis of our foreign currency hedging strategy:
We leverage any natural hedges that may exist within our operations;
We utilize local currency debt financing to the extent possible; and
We may utilize derivative contracts to the extent that natural hedges are insufficient.
As of March 31, 2024, our total equity was $6.5 billion and our Adjusted Equity was $9.3 billion. Adjusted Equity represents the total economic equity of our Company through its Class A, A-1, B and C shares and the redeemable junior preferred shares issued by our Company, excluding our accumulated other comprehensive income. Refer to discussion on Non-GAAP Measures.
Included in equity and Adjusted Equity was approximately $239 million invested in Canadian dollars. As of March 31, 2024, we had a notional $2.8 billion (December 31, 2023$2.9 billion) of foreign exchange forward contracts in place to hedge against foreign currency risk.
For additional information, see Note 9, “Derivative Instruments” of the financial statements.

Future Capital Obligations and Requirements
As of March 31, 2024, subsidiaries of the Company had total unfunded investment commitments of $5.2 billion (December 31, 2023$5.4 billion). These commitments, when funded, are primarily recognized as mortgage loans, private loans, investment funds, real estate and other invested assets. For additional information, see Note 28, “Financial Commitments and Contingencies” of the financial statements.

Capital Management
Capital management is the ongoing process of determining and maintaining the quantity and quality of capital appropriate to take advantage of the Company’s growth opportunities, to support the risks associated with the business and to optimize shareholder returns while fully complying with the regulatory capital requirements.
The Company and its subsidiaries take an integrated approach to risk management that involves the Company’s risk appetite and capital requirements. The enterprise risk management framework includes a capital management policy that describes the key processes related to capital management, which is reviewed at least annually and approved by the Board of Directors. The operating capital levels are determined by the Company’s risk appetite and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (“ORSA”). Furthermore, additional stress techniques are used to evaluate the Company’s capital adequacy under sustained adverse scenarios.
American National, Argo and NER SPC are required to follow Risk Based Capital (“RBC”) requirements based on guidelines of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”). RBC is a method of measuring the level of capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations, in light of its size and risk profile. It provides a means of assessing capital adequacy, where the degree of risk taken by the insurer is the primary determinant.
NER Ltd. is required to maintain minimum statutory capital and surplus equal to the greater of a minimum solvency margin and the enhanced capital requirement as determined by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (“BMA”). The Enhanced Capital Requirement (“ECR”) is calculated based on the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement model, a risk-based model that takes into account the risk characteristics of different aspects of a company’s business.
BAC is subject to Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test (“LICAT”) as determined by Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (“OSFI”). The LICAT ratio compares the regulatory capital resources of an insurance company to its Base Solvency Buffer or required capital.
The Company has determined that it is in compliance with all capital requirements as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Brookfield Operating Results
An investment in the Class A and Class A-1 exchangeable shares of the Company is intended to be, as nearly as practicable, functionally and economically, equivalent to an investment in Brookfield. A summary of Brookfield’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is provided below:
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MAR. 31
US$ MILLIONS
20242023
Revenues$22,907 $23,297 
Net income 519 424 
Each exchangeable share has been structured with the intention of providing an economic return equivalent to one Brookfield Class A Share. We therefore expect that the market price of the exchangeable shares should be impacted by the market price of Brookfield Class A Shares and the business performance of Brookfield as a whole. In addition to carefully considering the disclosure made in this MD&A, you should carefully consider the disclosure made by Brookfield in its continuous disclosure filings. Copies of the Brookfield’s continuous disclosure filings are available electronically on EDGAR on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.
Industry Trends and Factors Affecting Our Performance
As a financial services business providing capital based solutions to the insurance industry, we are affected by numerous factors, including global economic and financial market conditions. Price fluctuations within equity, credit, commodity and foreign exchange markets, as well as interest rates, which may be volatile and mixed across geographies, can significantly impact the performance of our business. We also monitor factors such as consumer spending, business investment, the volatility of capital markets, interest rates, unemployment and the risk of inflation or deflation, which affect the business and economic environment and, in turn, impact the demand for the type of financial and insurance products offered by our business. Refer to “Industry Trends and Factors Affecting Our Performance” included within 2023 Form 20-F.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make critical judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources, during the reporting period. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years. Refer to “Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates” included within 2023 Form 20-F.
Performance Measures Used by Management
To measure performance, we focus on net income and total assets, as well as certain non-GAAP measures, including DOE, Adjusted Equity, Total Corporate Liquidity and Total Liquidity which we believe are useful to investors to provide additional insights into assets within the business available for redeployment. Refer to the “Segment Review” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of this MD&A for further discussion on our performance and Non-GAAP measures for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
70




Non-GAAP Measures
We regularly monitor certain Non-GAAP measures that are used to evaluate our performance and analyze underlying business performance and trends. We use these measures to establish budgets and operational goals, manage our business and evaluate our performance. We also believe that these measures help investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior years. These Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial measures presented in this MD&A that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP measures are not comparable to GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly described Non-GAAP measures reported by other companies, including those within our industry. Consequently, our Non-GAAP measures should not be evaluated in isolation, but rather, should be considered together with the most directly comparable GAAP measure in our consolidated financial statements for the years presented. The Non-GAAP financial measures we present in this MD&A should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Distributable Operating Earnings
We use Distributable Operating Earnings (“DOE”) to assess operating results and the performance of our businesses. We define DOE as net income excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, and breakage and transaction costs, as well as certain investment and insurance reserve gains and losses, including gains and losses related to asset and liability matching strategies, non-operating adjustments related to changes in cash flow assumptions for future policy benefits and change in market risk benefits, and is inclusive of returns on equity invested in certain variable interest entities and our share of adjusted earnings from our investments in certain associates.
DOE is a measure of operating performance that is not calculated in accordance with, and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. DOE is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
We believe our presentation of DOE is useful to investors because it supplements investors’ understanding of our operating performance by providing information regarding our ongoing performance that excludes items we believe do not directly affect our core operations. Our presentation of DOE also provide investors enhanced comparability of our ongoing performance across years.
Adjusted Equity
Adjusted Equity represents the total economic equity of our Company through its Class A, A-1, B and C shares and the redeemable junior preferred shares issued by our Company, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. We use Adjusted Equity to assess our return on our equity.
Total Corporate Liquidity and Total Liquidity
Corporate Liquidity is a measure of our liquidity position and includes cash and cash equivalents, undrawn revolving credit facilities and liquid financial assets held by non-regulated corporate entities. Total Liquidity includes liquidity within our regulated insurance entities.
The followings contain further details regarding our use of our Non-GAAP measures, as well as a reconciliation of net income and total equity to these measures:
