Liability for Future Policy Benefits

As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company updated the net premium ratio when updating for actual historical experience for the quarter. In 2025, the Company revised the timing of its annual comprehensive assumption review, moving it from the fourth quarter to the third quarter to better align with industry practice. Accordingly, future cash flow assumptions were reviewed and updated in the third quarter of 2025. In the prior year, assumptions were reviewed in the third quarter but not changed, with the annual update completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The following tables summarize balances and changes in LFPB for traditional and limited-pay contracts.
The balances of and changes in LFPB as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were as follows:

Separate Account Liabilities

Separate account assets and liabilities consist of investment accounts established and maintained by the Company for certain variable contracts. Some of these variable contracts include minimum guarantees such as GMDBs that guarantee a minimum payment to the policyholder in the event of death.
The assets that support variable contracts are measured at fair value and are reported as separate account assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. An equivalent amount is reported as separate account liabilities. MRB assets and liabilities for minimum guarantees are valued and presented separately from separate account assets and separate account liabilities. MRBs are discussed further in the market risk benefits section of this Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Policy charges assessed against the policyholders for mortality,
administration and other services are included in the life premiums and contract charges line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The following table presents the balances of and changes in the Separate Account variable annuity liabilities presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets(1):

(1) Reconciling item relates to DAC associated with the Property & Casualty reporting segment.
The assumptions used to amortize DAC were consistent with the assumptions used to estimate LFPB for traditional and limited-payment contracts. The underlying assumptions for DAC and LFPB were updated at the same time.
In the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, the Company conducted a review of all significant assumptions. Beginning in 2025, the Company advanced the timing of its annual assumption review from the fourth quarter to the third quarter. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2025, future cash flow assumptions for mortality and lapses were updated as part of the annual assumption update process. In the third quarter of 2024, future cash flow assumptions were reviewed but not changed, and the annual update was performed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
