REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Contract Owners of
Brighthouse Variable Annuity Account B
and Board of Directors of
Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Brighthouse Variable Annuity Account B (the "Separate Account") of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY (the "Company") comprising each of the individual Sub-Accounts listed in Note 2.A as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights in Note 8 for each of the five years in the period then ended for the Sub-Accounts, except for the Sub-Account included in the table below; the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the Sub-Account and periods indicated in the table below; and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts constituting the Separate Account of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or for the period listed in the table below), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

 

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and the period from April 29, 2022 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2022

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Separate Account's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.


Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian or mutual fund companies. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

March 27, 2025

We have served as the Separate Account's auditor since 2000.

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") applicable for variable annuity separate accounts registered as unit investment trusts, which follow the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Investment Companies.

BRIGHTHOUSE VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B
OF BRIGHTHOUSE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Continued)

Security Transactions

Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are computed on the basis of the average cost of the investment sold. Income from dividends and realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date.

Security Valuation

A Sub-Account's investment in shares of a fund, portfolio, or series of the Trusts is valued at fair value based on the closing net asset value ("NAV") or price per share as determined by the Trusts as of the end of the year. All changes in fair value are recorded as changes in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the statements of operations of the applicable Sub-Accounts. The Separate Account defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Each Sub-Account invests in shares of open-end mutual funds which calculate a daily NAV based on the fair value of the underlying securities in their portfolios. As a result, and as required by law, shares of open-end mutual funds are purchased and redeemed at their quoted daily NAV as reported by the Trusts at the close of each business day.

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820") provides that the Separate Account is not required to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. Additionally, ASC 820 does not require certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient. The Separate Account's investments in shares of a fund, portfolio, or series of the Trusts are using NAV as a practical expedient, therefore investments are not categorized within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

Federal Income Taxes

The operations of the Separate Account form a part of the total operations of the Company and are not taxed separately. The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Separate Account to the extent the earnings are credited under the Contracts. Accordingly, no charge is currently being made to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. The Company will periodically review the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the Contracts.

Annuity Payouts

Net assets allocated to Contracts in the annuity payout period are computed according to industry standard mortality tables. The assumed investment return is between 3.0 and 4.0 percent. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Separate Account by the Company to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Company. Annuity payouts are reported as contract transactions on the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Sub-Accounts.

Purchase Payments

Purchase payments received from contract owners by the Company are credited as accumulation units as of the end of the valuation period in which received, as provided in the prospectus for the Contracts, and are reported as Contract transactions on the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Sub-Accounts.

Net Transfers

Assets transferred by the contract owner into or out of Sub-Accounts within the Separate Account or into or out of the fixed account, which is part of the Company's general account, are recorded on a net basis as net transfers in the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Sub-Accounts.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Segment Disclosure

The Separate Account adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07") during the period. The Separate Account's adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Sub-Account's financial position or results of operations.

Each Sub-Account of the Separate Account constitutes a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") oversees the activities of the Separate Account using information of each Sub-Account. The Separate Account is engaged in a single line of business as a registered unit investment trust. The Separate Account is a funding vehicle for individual variable annuity contracts with the assets owned by the Company to support the liabilities of the applicable insurance contracts. The Sub-Accounts have identified the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as the CODM.

The CODM uses Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations as their performance measure in order to make operational decisions while monitoring the net assets of each of the Sub-Accounts within the Separate Account. The Accounting policies used to measure profit and loss of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as net assets. Refer to the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets and related notes for each Sub-Account's operating segment significant expenses. All assets and revenue are generated in the US and there is no customer greater than 10% of consolidated results for all periods presented.

5.  EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following annual Separate Account charges are asset-based charges paid to the company and assessed through a daily reduction in unit values, which are recorded as expenses in the accompanying statements of operations of the applicable Sub-Accounts:

Mortality and Expense Risk — The mortality risk assumed by the Company is the risk that those insured may die sooner than anticipated and therefore, the Company will pay an aggregate amount of death benefits greater than anticipated. The expense risk assumed is the risk that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Contracts will exceed the amounts realized from the administrative charges assessed against the Contracts. In addition, the charge compensates the Company for the risk that the investor may live longer than estimated and the Company would be obligated to pay more in income payments than anticipated.

Administrative — The Company has responsibility for the administration of the Contracts and the Separate Account. Generally, the administrative charge is related to the maintenance, including distribution, of each contract and the Separate Account.

Optional Death Benefit Rider — For an additional charge, the total death benefit payable may be increased based on the increases in account value in the Contracts.

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit — For an additional charge, the Company will guarantee that the contract value will not be less than a guaranteed minimum amount at the end of a specified number of years.

The table below represents the range of effective annual rates for each respective charge for the year ended December 31, 2024:

(a) During 2024, the Separate Account effectuated a 1-for-10 unit change to certain contract owners in the American Funds®​ Growth Sub-Account, resulting in a broader range of unit values. The unit value and number of units outstanding for the impacted contract owners were retroactively adjusted to reflect this change in each period presented. There was no change to the total net assets of the fund or to any contract owner's investment in the fund for any period presented.

1  These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the underlying fund, portfolio, or series net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets, regardless of share class, if any. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The investment income ratio is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund, portfolio, or series in which the Sub-Account invests. The investment income ratio is calculated as a weighted average ratio since the Sub-Account may invest in two or more share classes, within the underlying fund, portfolio, or series of the Trusts which may have unique investment income ratios.

2  These amounts represent annualized contract expenses of each of the applicable Sub-Accounts, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund, portfolio, or series have been excluded.

3  These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, portfolio, or series and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum returns, based on the minimum and maximum returns within each product grouping of the applicable Sub-Account.

4  During 2021 and 2024, the Separate Account effectuated a 1-for-10 unit change to certain contract owners in the American Funds®​ Growth Sub-Account, resulting in a broader range of unit values. The unit value and number of units outstanding for the impacted contract owners were retroactively adjusted to reflect this change in each period presented. There was no change to the total net assets of the fund or to any contract owner's investment in the fund for any period presented.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY:

Opinions

We have audited the statutory-basis financial statements of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company, which is an indirect subsidiary of Brighthouse Financial, Inc.) (the "Company"), which comprise the statutory-basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statutory- basis statements of operations and changes in capital and surplus, and statements of cash flow for the years then ended and the related notes to the statutory-basis financial statements (collectively referred to as the "statutory-basis financial statements").

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the years then ended, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services described in Note 1.

Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America section of our report, the statutory-basis financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, or the results of its operations or its cash flow for each of the years then ended.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America

As described in Note 1 to the statutory-basis financial statements, the statutory-basis financial statements are prepared by the Company using the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of the New York State Department of Financial Services. The effects on the statutory-basis financial statements of the variances between the statutory-basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

Responsibilities of Management for the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Management is

also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of statutory-basis financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the statutory-basis financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the statutory-basis financial statements are issued.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory-basis financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the statutory-basis financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

•  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

•  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statutory-basis financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the statutory-basis financial statements.

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements.

•  Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Report on Supplemental Schedules

Our 2024 audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 2024 statutory-basis financial statements as a whole. The supplemental schedule of selected financial data, the supplemental schedule of investment risks interrogatories, the supplemental summary investment schedule, and the supplemental schedule of reinsurance contracts with risk-limiting features as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the 2024 statutory-basis financial statements. These schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory-basis financial statements. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 2024 statutory-basis financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such schedules directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory-basis financial statements or to the statutory- basis financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2024 statutory-basis financial statements as a whole.

Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business

Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY (the "Company"), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brighthouse Life Insurance Company ("Brighthouse Insurance"), which is an indirect subsidiary of Brighthouse Financial, Inc. ("Brighthouse") a Delaware corporation. The Company is domiciled in the State of New York ("New York") and is only licensed to transact insurance business therein, and is subject to regulation by New York. The Company markets or administers traditional life and universal life insurance; as well as variable, fixed, index-linked, and income annuity products to individuals.

Since the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies, its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services (the "Department" or "NYDFS"). The Department requires that insurance companies domiciled in New York prepare their statutory financial statements in accordance with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' ("NAIC") Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual ("NAIC SAP") as modified by the Department. NAIC SAP adjusted for these differences is referred to in these statutory financial statements as New York Statutory Accounting Principles ("NY SAP").

For variable and certain index-linked annuities, under NAIC SAP, reserves are determined based on the requirements of the NAIC Valuation Manual Section 21 ("VM-21"). Under NY SAP, reserves are equal to the greater of the amount determined under VM-21 and the amount determined under New York Regulation 213 ("Reg 213").

For Life Insurance policies issued since 2020, under NAIC SAP, reserves are determined based on the requirements of the NAIC Valuation Manual Section 20 ("VM-20"). Under NY SAP, reserves are equal to the greater of the amount determined under VM-20 and the amount determined under New York Regulation 213 ("Reg 213").

For deferred annuities, under NAIC SAP, reserves are determined under the NAIC model standard valuation law (referred to as curtate Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation Method ("CARVM")).

Under NY SAP, deferred annuity reserves are computed as described by the New York valuation law (referred to as continuous CARVM).

Under NYDFS Circular Letter No. 11 (2010), ceded reserves are reduced by the deferred premium asset proportional to the amount ceded. Under NAIC SAP, there is no such specific requirement.

(1)  Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAP")

The Company's risk-based capital ("RBC") would not have triggered a regulatory event without the use of the state prescribed practices referenced in the table above.

NY SAP comprises a basis of accounting which differs from generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The more significant differences are as follows:

•  Policy acquisition costs are charged to expense as incurred under NY SAP; whereas under GAAP, certain policy acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts in a manner that approximates a straight-line basis over the expected life of the related contracts;

•  Insurance reserves are determined using prescribed factors for mortality, lapses and interest without consideration of company experience, or using a principles based reserve method equal to the higher of reserves using prescribed factors and reserves that consider a wide range of future economic conditions, as well as, company experience. Under GAAP, reserves are determined based upon best estimates as of the date the policy is issued, or the account value plus a reserve for additional benefits, that is either based on current assumptions or measured at fair value with an adjustment for non-performance risk;

•  Certain assets designated as "nonadmitted assets" are excluded from the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus by direct charges to unassigned surplus (deficit), including a portion of deferred income tax assets ("DTA") and negative Interest Maintenance Reserve ("IMR") balances;


8


Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements — (Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

•  Contracts that have any mortality and morbidity risk, regardless of significance, and contracts with life contingent annuity purchase rate guarantees are classified as insurance contracts and amounts received under these contracts are reported as revenue for NY SAP; whereas under GAAP, for contracts that do not subject the Company to significant risks arising from mortality or morbidity, amounts received are reported as increases to policyholder account balances;

•  Certain reinsurance agreements are accounted for as reinsurance under both NY SAP and GAAP if certain risk transfer provisions are met. The risk transfer provisions in GAAP differ from the risk transfer provisions under NY SAP. Under GAAP, the reinsurer must assume significant insurance risk and have a reasonable possibility of realizing a significant loss from the transaction. NY SAP requires the reinsurer to assume all of certain risks deemed to be significant, regardless of the significance of loss potential. Assets and liabilities as a result of reinsurance transactions are netted under NY SAP but are reported gross under GAAP. Ceding commissions received in conjunction with reinsurance transactions are reported as revenue under NY SAP but are reported as a reduction of commission expense under GAAP;

•  A liability is established when the reserves ceded to an unauthorized reinsurer exceed the eligible collateral supporting the reserves. Changes to these amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus (deficit). Under GAAP, no such liability is required;

•  Investments in bonds and preferred stocks are generally carried at amortized cost under NY SAP. Under GAAP, investments in bonds and preferred stocks have one of three classifications. Those classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost, those classified as available-for-sale are carried at estimated fair value with adjustments for changes in estimated fair value recorded as a component of equity and those classified as trading are carried at estimated fair value with adjustments for changes in estimated fair value recorded through earnings;

•  Investments in mortgage loans that are impaired are reported at the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell such collateral. If the estimated fair value of the impaired loan subsequently increases, the mortgage loan's carrying value may not be adjusted to reflect this increase in value. Under GAAP, impaired mortgage loans may also be assessed using observable market price or discounted cash flow ("DCF") methodologies using the loan's original effective interest rate. If the value of the impaired mortgage loan subsequently increases, under GAAP, the mortgage loan's carrying value may be adjusted to reflect this increase, through a decrease in a specific valuation allowance;

•  The Company establishes a general valuation allowance when the amount of the loan loss contingency is greater than the mortgage component of the asset valuation reserve ("AVR"). The amount recorded is the excess of the loss contingency amount over the mortgage component of the AVR, with an offset to net unrealized capital gains and (losses). Under GAAP, the required allowance for credit losses is recorded as a reduction to net carrying value with an offset to realized gains and losses;

•  An AVR liability is established, based upon a formula prescribed by the NAIC, to offset potential credit-related investment losses on all invested assets. Changes in the AVR are charged or credited directly to surplus. Under GAAP, no such reserve is required;

•  An IMR is established to capture realized gains and losses, net of income tax, on the sale of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates, and is amortized into net investment income over the remaining years to expected maturity of the assets sold; whereas under GAAP, available-for-sale bonds and mortgage loan gains and losses on disposal are reported in earnings in the period that the assets are sold;

•  Most derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are carried at estimated fair value with changes in their estimated fair value reported in changes in capital and surplus. Under GAAP, if a derivative not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative are generally reported in net derivative gains (losses), a component of net income. An embedded derivative that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract and that meets certain other criteria is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for separately at estimated fair value;

•  Deferred income tax is calculated based on temporary differences between NY SAP and tax-basis reporting, subject to certain asset admission limitations for DTA, rather than the difference between GAAP and tax-basis reporting, without such asset admission limitations;


9


Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements — (Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

•  Certain items, including modifications to required policy reserves resulting from changes in reserve methodologies, are recorded directly to unassigned surplus (deficit) rather than being reflected in income under GAAP;

•  For loss contingencies, when no amount within management's estimate of the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the midpoint of the range is accrued; whereas under GAAP, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. In addition, the timing of recognition of certain costs related to loss contingencies may be different;

•  Gains on certain economic transactions with related parties, defined as arm's-length transactions, resulting in the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership and considered permanent, are recognized under NY SAP rather than deferred until the assets are sold to third parties as required under GAAP;

•  Separate Account assets, liabilities, income and expenses are reflected using a summarized presentation in the financial statements under NY SAP; under GAAP only separate accounts where all of the investment risk is borne by the policyholder quantify for summarized presentation.

Accounting Changes and Correction of Errors

Accounting Changes

In June 2024, the Company reclassified $541 million from Unassigned funds to Other than special surplus in accordance with guidance from the NYDFS. The reclassification represents the cumulative balance of unamortized deferred reinsurance gains. Going forward, such gains will be recognized in Unassigned funds as earnings emerge on the reinsured business.

Correction of Errors

The Company had no correction of errors during 2024.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2023 statutory financial statements were reclassified to conform with the 2024 presentation.

GAAP Equity and Income (Unaudited)

GAAP consolidated net income (loss) attributable to the Company was $34 million and ($9) million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. GAAP consolidated stockholder's equity was $699 million and $654 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements. Management is also required to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investments

Income from investments, including amortization of premium, accretion of discount and similar items, is recorded within net investment income, unless otherwise stated herein. Other-than-temporary impairments ("OTTI") losses are recorded as realized capital losses, the cost basis of the investment is reduced and the revised cost basis is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in value.

Bonds are generally stated at amortized cost, unless they have a NAIC designation of 6, in which case they are stated at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. Unrealized capital losses on bonds having a NAIC designation of 6 are charged directly to surplus. Interest and prepayment fees are recorded when earned. Amortization of premium or accretion of discount is calculated using the effective yield method taking into consideration specified interest and principal provisions over the life of the bonds or estimated timing and amount of prepayments of underlying loans for commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") and asset-backed securities ("ABS") (collectively "loan-backed securities"). Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between the prepayments originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. Prepayment assumptions for single class and multi-class mortgage-backed securities and ABS are estimated using inputs obtained from third party specialists, and are based on management's knowledge of the current market. For credit- sensitive mortgage-backed


10


Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements — (Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

securities and ABS and certain prepayment-sensitive securities, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other mortgage-backed securities and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis.

For loan-backed securities, the NAIC relies on the second lowest NAIC Credit Rating Provider ("CRP") rating to determine the initial NAIC designation. The second lowest CRP rating is used to determine the carrying value of the security, which is based on the NAIC's estimate of expected losses, using an NAIC published formula. The carrying value of the security determines its final NAIC designation. This methodology does not apply to NAIC 1 and NAIC 6 securities which are rated at the second lowest CRP designation. Loan-backed and structured securities are stated at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or fair market value.

The Company periodically evaluates bonds for impairment. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in estimated fair value, as well as an analysis of the gross unrealized losses by severity and/or age as described in Note 3 "Evaluating Temporarily Impaired Bonds for OTTI". Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management's evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Considerations used in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the estimated fair value has been below amortized cost; (ii) the potential for impairments when the issuer is experiencing significant financial difficulties; (iii) the potential for impairments in an entire industry sector or sub-sector; (iv) the potential for impairments in certain economically depressed geographic locations; (v) the potential for impairments where the issuer, series of issuers or industry has suffered a catastrophic type of loss or has exhausted natural resources; (vi) both the Company's intent to sell a security before the recovery of its estimated fair value and its intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its value to an amount equal to or greater than amortized cost; (vii) unfavorable changes in forecasted cash flows on mortgage-backed securities and ABS; (viii) the potential for impairments due to weakening foreign currencies on foreign currency denominated bonds that are near maturity; and (ix) other subjective factors, including concentrations and information obtained from regulators and rating agencies.

The Company recognizes an OTTI loss in earnings for a loan-backed security in an unrealized loss position when it is anticipated that the amortized cost basis will not be recovered. In such situations, the OTTI loss recognized in earnings is the entire difference between the security's amortized cost and its estimated fair value only when either: (i) the Company intends to sell the security or (ii) the Company does not have the intent and ability to retain the security for the time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. Non-interest related OTTI losses are recorded through the AVR and interest related losses through the IMR. If neither of the two conditions exists, and the Company has the intent and ability to hold the security but does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost, the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an OTTI loss.

The determination of estimated fair values for securities and other investments is described in Note 2.

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium, discount or deferred fees, and are net of valuation allowances. Interest income and prepayment fees are recorded when earned. Interest income is accrued on the principal amount of the loan based on the loan's contractual interest rate. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount are recorded using the effective yield method. Gains and losses from sales of loans are recorded in net realized capital gains (losses).

Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when it is probable that, based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the loan agreement. Valuation allowances are established both on a loan specific basis and, in certain circumstances described below, for pools of loans. Valuation allowances are determined separately for each of the loan portfolio segments: commercial and agricultural. In conjunction with the valuation allowance process, management identifies mortgage loans to be placed on a nonaccrual status at which time the Company recognizes income on the cash method.

Specific valuation allowances are established using the same methodology for both portfolio segments and a common evaluation framework is used for establishing general valuation allowances for the loan portfolio segments; however, a separate general valuation allowance is calculated and maintained for each loan portfolio segment that is based on inputs that are unique to each loan portfolio segment. The Company records specific valuation allowances for impaired mortgage loans when it is probable that based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the

For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

contractual terms of the loan agreement. Based on the facts and circumstances of the individual mortgage loans being impaired, loan specific valuation allowances are established for the excess carrying value of the mortgage loan over the estimated fair value of the loan's underlying collateral (as determined by acceptable appraisal methodologies) less estimated costs to obtain and sell such collateral. Changes in these loan specific valuation allowances are reported within net realized capital gains (losses). General valuation allowances are established for loan losses when a loss contingency exists for pools of loans with similar characteristics, such as mortgage loans based on similar property types or loans with similar loan-to-value or similar debt service coverage ratio factors. A loss contingency exists when, based on experience, it is probable that a credit event has occurred and the amount of credit loss can be reasonably estimated. These evaluations are based upon several loan portfolio segment specific factors, including the Company's experience with loan losses, defaults and loss severity, and loss expectations for loans with similar risk characteristics. The Company typically uses ten years or more of historical experience in these evaluations. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. The general valuation allowance is established when the amount of the loan loss contingency is greater than the mortgage component of the AVR, and the amount recorded is the excess of the loss contingency amount over the mortgage component of the AVR. If the mortgage component of the AVR is greater than the loss contingency amount, no general valuation allowance is recorded. Changes in the general valuation allowance are included in change in General Account net unrealized capital gains (losses) which are credited or charged directly to surplus.

All commercial loans are monitored on an ongoing basis which may include an analysis of the property's financial statements and rent rolls, lease rollover analysis, property inspections, market analysis, estimated valuations of the underlying collateral, loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios and tenant creditworthiness. The monitoring process for commercial loans focuses on higher risk loans, which include those that are classified as restructured, delinquent or in foreclosure, as well as loans with higher loan-to-value and lower debt service coverage ratios. The monitoring process for agricultural loans is generally similar to the commercial loan monitoring process, with a focus on higher risk loans, including reviews of the agricultural loan portfolio on a geographic and sector basis. Higher risk commercial and agricultural loans are reviewed individually on an ongoing basis for potential credit loss and specific valuation allowances are established using the methodology described above for all loan portfolio segments. Quarterly, the remaining loans are reviewed on a pool basis, by aggregating groups of loans that have similar risk characteristics for potential credit loss. General valuation allowances are established as described above using inputs that are unique to each segment of the loan portfolio.

For commercial loans, the primary credit quality indicator is the debt service coverage ratio, which compares a property's net operating income to amounts needed to service the principal and interest due under the loan. Generally, the lower the debt service coverage ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The Company also reviews the loan-to-value ratio of its commercial loan portfolio. Loan-to- value ratios compare the unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The debt service coverage ratio and the values utilized in calculating the ratio are updated annually on a rolling basis, with a portion of the loan portfolio updated each quarter. In addition, the loan-to-value ratio is routinely updated for all but the lowest risk loans as part of the Company's ongoing review of its commercial mortgage loan portfolio.

For agricultural loans, the Company's primary credit quality indicator is the loan-to-value ratio. The values utilized in calculating this ratio are developed in connection with the ongoing review of the agricultural loan portfolio and are routinely updated. Additionally, the Company focuses the monitoring process on higher risk loans, including reviews on a geographic and property-type basis.

The Company may grant concessions related to a particular borrower's financial difficulties which are classified as troubled debt restructurings. Generally, the types of concessions include: reduction of the contractual interest rate, extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than current market interest rates and/or a reduction of accrued interest. The amount, timing and extent of the concession granted is considered in determining any impairment or changes in the specific valuation allowance recorded in connection with the troubled debt restructuring. Through the recurring portfolio monitoring process, a specific valuation allowance may have been recorded prior to the period when the mortgage loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the carrying value (after specific valuation allowance) before and after modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment.

Cash equivalents, which are short-term, highly liquid securities and other investments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase, are stated at amortized cost, except for securities which have a NAIC designation of 6, in which case they are stated at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Other invested assets consist of investments in surplus notes, an investment in the equity tranche of a collateralized loan obligation and a real estate joint venture.

Investments in surplus notes are carried at amortized cost.

The investment in the equity tranche of collateralized loan obligation is accounted for under the equity method.

Real estate joint ventures are carried at the underlying audited GAAP equity, with the Company's share of undistributed earnings and losses included in change in General Account net unrealized capital gains (losses) which is credited or charged directly to surplus. Dividends or distributions received are recognized to the extent they are not in excess of undistributed accumulated earnings. Dividends and distributions in excess of undistributed accumulated earnings are recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the investment. The Company also periodically evaluates the joint ventures' unrealized losses for recoverability. In addition to the joint ventures performing regular evaluations for the impairment of underlying investments, the Company routinely evaluates these investments for impairment. The Company considers financial and other information provided by such entities, other known information and inherent risks in the underlying investments, as well as future capital commitments, in determining whether an impairment has occurred.

Derivatives

The Company may be exposed to various risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, credit risk and equity market risk. The Company uses a variety of strategies to manage these risks, including the use of derivatives.

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit spreads or other financial indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market. All of the Company's derivatives are bilateral contracts between two counterparties. The Company uses options, swaps, and caps to manage risks that may include interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, credit risk and equity market risk. Derivative hedges are designed to reduce risk on an economic basis while considering their impact on accounting results and statutory capital.

NY SAP restricts the Company's use of derivatives to: (i) hedging activities intended to offset changes in the estimated fair value of assets held, obligations and anticipated transactions; (ii) income generation transactions to generate additional income or return on covering assets; and (iii) RSATs to reproduce the investment characteristics of otherwise permissible investments. The Company is prohibited from using derivatives for speculation. OTC derivatives are carried on the Company's Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus either as derivative assets or derivative liabilities.

The Company does not offset the values recognized for derivatives executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting agreement. This policy applies to the recognition of derivative assets and derivative liabilities in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus.

To qualify for hedge accounting under SSAP No. 86, Derivatives ("SSAP 86"), at the inception of the hedging relationship, the Company formally documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction, as well as its designation of the hedge as either: (i) a hedge of the estimated fair value of a recognized asset or liability ("fair value hedge"); or (ii) a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a forecasted transaction or a recognized asset or liability ("cash flow hedge"). In its hedge documentation, the Company sets forth how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the designated risks related to the hedged item and sets forth the method that will be used to retrospectively and prospectively assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness. A derivative designated as a hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed at inception and at least quarterly throughout the life of the designated hedging relationship.

The Company may hold cash flow and fair value derivatives that hedge various assets and liabilities including bonds, mortgage loans, and liability portfolios; the derivatives that hedge those assets and liabilities are valued in a manner consistent with the underlying hedged item, if the derivatives meet the criteria for highly effective hedges. Bonds that have an NAIC designation of 1 through 5 are carried at amortized cost; therefore, the derivatives hedging such bonds are also carried at amortized cost. Bonds that have an NAIC designation of 6 are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value; therefore, the derivatives hedging such bonds are also carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. Mortgage loans are carried at amortized cost; therefore, the derivatives hedging mortgage loans are also carried at amortized cost. Any hedged liabilities of the Company are carried at amortized cost; therefore, the derivatives hedging liabilities are also carried at


13


Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements — (Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

amortized cost. Effective foreign currency swaps have a foreign currency adjustment reported in capital and surplus pursuant to SSAP 86 by using the same procedures as used to translate the hedged item.

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (i) it is determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; (iii) it is no longer probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur; or (iv) the Company removes the designation of the hedge.

When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative is not highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative is carried at its estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value reported in change in General Account net unrealized capital gains (losses).

Upon termination of a derivative that qualified for hedge accounting, the gain or loss is reflected as an adjustment to the basis of the hedged item and is recognized in income consistent with the hedged item. If the hedged item is sold, the gain or loss on the derivative is realized but is subject to the IMR.

To the extent the Company does not designate a derivative for hedge accounting, the derivative is carried at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value reported in change in General Account net unrealized capital gains (losses).

Cash flows associated with purchases and sales of derivative instruments, including realized gains and losses and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in cash from investments. Cash flows associated with other income from with derivative instruments are recognized in cash from operations.

Insurance Reserves and Annuity and Other Fund Reserves

Reserves for permanent plans of individual life insurance, universal life plans and certain term plans are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Method, the Commissioners' Reserve Valuation Method, or using the principle based requirements of Reg 213, as appropriate. Reserves for other life insurance policies are computed on the Net Level Premium Method or the Commissioners' Reserve Valuation Method, as appropriate. Reserves for group and individual annuity contracts are computed on CARVM or using the principle based requirements of Reg 213, as appropriate. The reserves are based on mortality, morbidity and interest rate assumptions prescribed by New York Insurance Law. Such reserves are sufficient to provide for contractual surrender values.

Periodically, to reflect changes in circumstances or regulatory requirements, the Company may change the assumptions, methodologies or procedures used to calculate reserves. Primarily, the changes in methodologies and procedures, or changes in "valuation basis," are recorded as direct adjustments to surplus cumulatively in the accounting year applied, whereas generally, changes in reserves, including certain actuarial assumptions, are reflected in net income.

Reserves for deposit-type contracts, which do not subject the reporting entity to any risks arising from policyholder mortality or morbidity, are equal to deposits received and interest credited to the benefit of contract holders, less fees and other charges assessed and surrenders or withdrawals that represent a return to the contract holders.

Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve

The Company has established an AVR and IMR for the General Account and Separate Account investments, where required. An AVR is established for potential credit-related losses on applicable General Account and Separate Account invested assets. Changes to the AVR are reported as direct additions to or deductions from surplus. An IMR is established for interest-related realized capital gains (losses) resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates for the General Account, and any Separate Accounts, not carried at estimated fair value. Transfers to the IMR are deducted from realized capital gains and losses and are net of related Federal income tax. IMR amortization, as calculated under the Grouped Method as specified by NY SAP, is included in net investment income. Net realized capital gains (losses) are presented net of Federal income tax expense or benefit and IMR transfer. The IMR can be either an asset or a liability, with the asset subject to certain recognition limits as prescribed by NY SAP.

Income

In general, premiums are recognized as income when due from policyholders under the terms of the insurance contract. Investment income is recognized as income when earned. The earnings on certain investments are dependent upon market conditions, which could result in prepayments and changes in amounts to be earned due to changing interest rates or equity markets. Other income (loss) primarily includes management fees relating to Separate Account contracts.

Benefits and Expenses

Expenses, including policy acquisition costs and Federal income tax, are charged to operations as incurred. Amounts received as payment for and amounts representing return of policyholder balances relating to deposit-type contracts are not reported as income or benefits but are recorded directly to the liability for deposit-type contracts.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company holds investments denominated in foreign currencies, which are carried at the foreign exchange spot rate at the end of the year. Any increases or decreases in the carrying amount of the Company's investments denominated in foreign currencies due to changes in exchange rates between years are recorded as a change in General Account net unrealized capital gains (losses) which are credited or charged directly to surplus.

Separate Account Operations

Separate Accounts are established in conformity with insurance laws and are generally not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business of the Company. Separate Account assets are subject to General Account claims only to the extent that the value of such assets exceeds the Separate Account liabilities. Investments (generally stated at estimated fair value) and liabilities of the Separate Accounts are reported separately as assets and liabilities. Investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) on the investments accrue directly to contract holders and accordingly, are not reflected in the Company's Statutory Statements of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus and Cash Flow.

Certain other Separate Accounts guarantee levels of returns or benefits. These Separate Accounts could therefore contain assets in excess of reserves as described in SSAP No. 56, Separate Accounts. The surplus generated by the Separate Accounts that contain guaranteed levels of return or benefit is recognized as net income on the Company's Annual Statutory Statements of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no seed money invested in the various Separate Accounts.

Income Tax

Beginning with the year ended December 31, 2023, Brighthouse and certain of its subsidiaries, including the Company (collectively the "Consolidating Companies") file a consolidated return. In furtherance thereof, such parties joined a new tax sharing agreement, pursuant to which federal taxes are computed on a modified separate return basis with benefit for losses.

The future tax consequences of temporary differences between statutory financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities are measured at the financial reporting dates and are recorded as DTA and liabilities, subject to certain limitations. Changes in DTA and deferred income tax liabilities ("DTL"), including changes attributable to changes in tax rates and changes in tax status, if any, are recognized as a separate component of gains and losses in unassigned surplus (deficit).

DTA are limited to: (i) an amount expected to be realized within the applicable period that is no greater than the applicable percentage of statutory capital and surplus as required to be shown on the statutory balance sheet for the current reporting period's statement, adjusted to exclude any net DTA plus; (ii) the amount of remaining gross DTA that can be offset against existing gross DTL. Any remaining DTA are nonadmitted.

The realization of DTA depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Valuation allowances are established when management determines, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that DTA will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining whether valuation allowances should be established, as well as the amount of such allowances. When making such determination, the Company considers many factors, including:

•  the nature, frequency, and amount of cumulative financial reporting income and losses in recent years;

•  the jurisdiction in which the DTA was generated;

•  the length of time that carryforwards can be utilized in the various taxing jurisdictions;

•  future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards;

•  future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;

•  taxable income in prior carryback years; and

•  tax planning strategies.


15


Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements — (Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes in certain circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include when estimates used in determining valuation allowances on DTA significantly change or when receipt of new information indicates the need for an adjustment in valuation allowances. Additionally, future events, such as changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could have an impact on the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the financial statements in the year these changes occur.

The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits due to tax uncertainties that do not meet the threshold are included within other liabilities and are charged to earnings in the period that such determination is made.

The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

Related Party Transactions

A transaction between related parties involving the exchange of assets or liabilities is classified as either an economic transaction or a non-economic transaction. An economic transaction is defined as an arm's-length transaction which results in the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership and represents a consummated act thereof, i.e., "permanence." Non-economic transactions between the Company and a related party insurance entity are recorded at the lower of existing book values or estimated fair values at the date of the transaction. Non-economic transactions between the Company and related parties that are not insurance entities are recorded at the estimated fair value at the date of the transaction; however, to the extent that the transaction results in a gain, an offsetting unrealized capital loss and liability is recorded to defer any impact on surplus. Economic transactions between the Company and other related parties are recorded at estimated fair value at the date of the transaction. To the extent that the related parties are affiliates under control of the Company, the Company defers the effects of such transactions that result in gains or increases in surplus by recording an offsetting unrealized capital loss and liability. A transaction involving services between related parties is recorded at the amount charged and is generally subject to regulatory approval.

Note 2 — Fair Value Information

Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad valuation techniques: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation technique to use, given what is being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs, giving priority to observable inputs. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value into a three-level hierarchy, based on the significant input with the lowest level in its valuation. The input levels are as follows:

Level 1 —  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company defines active markets based on average trading volume for equity securities. The size of the bid/ask spread is used as an indicator of market activity for fixed maturity securities.

Level 2 —  Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs can 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 significant 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 determination of estimated fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Determination of Estimated Fair Value

The Company defines estimated fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In most cases, the exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition.

In general, the estimated fair value of investments classified within Level 1 are based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. These investments are the most liquid of the Company's securities holdings and valuation of these securities does not involve management's judgment. Investments classified within Level 3 use many of the same valuation technique and inputs as described in the Level 2 discussions. However, if key inputs are unobservable, or if the investments are less liquid and there is very limited trading activity, the investments are generally classified as Level 3. The use of independent non-binding broker quotations to value investments generally indicates there is a lack of liquidity or the general lack of transparency in the process to develop the valuation estimates generally causing such investments to be classified in Level 3.

Bonds, Preferred Stock, Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

For Level 1 assets, the estimated fair value is determined using quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. Additionally, as the estimated fair value for cash approximates carrying value, due to the nature of cash, it is classified as Level 1.

For Level 2 assets, estimated fair values are determined using an income approach. The estimated fair value is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary inputs being quoted prices in markets that are not active, benchmark yields, spreads off benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer rating, trades of identical or comparable securities, and duration for Level 2 assets. Privately-placed securities are valued using additional key inputs: market yield curve, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar public or private securities that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer, and delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit-related issues.

The estimated fair value for preferred stock is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary input being quoted prices in markets that are not active. Generally, these investments are classified in Level 2 or Level 3. Preferred stock value using significant observable inputs are classified in Level 2 and those valued using significant unobservable inputs are classified in Level 3.

For Level 3 assets, estimated fair values are determined using a market approach. The estimated fair value is determined using matrix pricing or consensus pricing, with the primary inputs being quoted and offered prices.

For mortgage loans, estimated fair value is primarily determined by estimating expected future cash flows and discounting them using current interest rates for similar mortgage loans with similar credit risk, or is determined from pricing for similar mortgage loans. The estimated fair values for impaired mortgage loans are principally obtained by estimating the fair value of the underlying collateral using market standard appraisal and valuation methods. Mortgage loans valued using significant unobservable inputs are classified in Level 3.

Derivatives

The fair values for exchange-traded derivatives are determined using the quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets. For OTC-bilateral derivatives classified as Level 2 assets or liabilities, estimated fair values are determined using the income approach. Valuations of non-option-based derivatives utilize present value techniques, whereas valuations of option-based derivatives utilize option pricing models which are based on market standard valuation methodologies and a variety of observable inputs.

The significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC-bilateral derivatives are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Most inputs for OTC-bilateral derivatives are mid-market inputs but, in certain cases, liquidity adjustments are made when they are deemed more representative of exit value. Market liquidity, as well as the use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs, may have a material effect on the estimated fair values of the Company's derivatives and could materially affect the net change in capital and surplus.

The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in determining the estimated fair value for all OTC-bilateral derivatives, and any potential credit adjustment is based on the net exposure by counterparty after taking into account the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements. The Company values its OTC-bilateral derivatives using standard swap curves which may include a spread to the risk-free rate, depending upon specific collateral arrangements. This credit spread is appropriate for those parties that execute trades at pricing levels consistent with similar collateral arrangements. As the Company and its significant derivative counterparties generally execute trades at such pricing levels and hold sufficient collateral, additional credit risk adjustments are not currently required in the valuation process. The Company's ability to consistently execute at such pricing levels is in part due to the netting agreements and collateral arrangements that are in place with all of its significant derivative counterparties. An evaluation of the requirement to make additional credit risk adjustments is performed by the Company each reporting period.

Other Invested Assets

The estimated fair value of other invested assets is determined using the methodologies as described in the above sections titled "Bonds, Preferred Stock, Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments", based on the nature of the investment. Excluded from the disclosure are those invested assets that are not considered to be financial instruments subject to this disclosure including investments accounted for under the equity method.

Investment Income Due and Accrued

Due to the short-term nature of investment income due and accrued, the Company believes there is minimal risk of material changes in interest rates or the credit of the issuer such that estimated fair value approximates carrying value. These amounts are generally classified in Level 2.

Separate Accounts

For Level 1 assets, the estimated fair value is determined using quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. Additionally, as the estimated fair value for cash equivalents carrying value, due to the nature of cash, it is classified as Level 1.

For Separate Account assets classified as Level 2 assets, estimated fair values are determined using either a market or income approach. The estimated fair value is determined using third-party commercial pricing services, with the primary input being quoted securitization market price determined principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs or quoted prices or reported net asset value ("NAV") provided by the fund managers.

For Level 3 assets, estimated fair values are determined using a market approach. The estimated fair value is determined using matrix pricing or consensus pricing, with the primary inputs being quoted and offered prices.

Investment Contracts Included in Reserves for Life and Health Insurance and Annuities and Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts

The fair value of investment contracts included in reserves for life and health insurance and annuities and in the liability for deposit-type contracts is estimated by discounting best estimate future cash flows based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing such liabilities, with consideration of the Company's non-performance risk (own-credit risk) not reflected in the fair value calculation. The assumptions used in estimating these fair values are based in part on unobservable inputs classified in Level 3.

Payable for Collateral Received

The estimated fair value of amounts payable for collateral received approximates carrying value as these obligations are short-term in nature. These amounts are generally classified in Level 2.

(1)  Derivative assets and derivative liabilities presented in the table above represent only those derivatives that are carried at estimated fair value. Accordingly, the amounts above exclude highly effective derivatives carried at amortized cost.

(2)  Separate Account assets are subject to General Account claims only to the extent that the value of such assets exceeds the Separate Account liabilities or for those assets that are not legally insulated. Investments (stated generally at estimated fair value) and liabilities of the Separate Accounts are reported separately as assets and liabilities. Separate Account assets as presented in the table above may differ from the amounts presented in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus because certain of these investments are not measured at estimated fair value (such as institutional separate accounts carried at book value).

Loan-backed Security Holdings — OTTI Losses

The Company did not impair any loan-backed securities to estimated fair value during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 because of either (i) an intent to sell the security or (ii) the inability or lack of intent to retain the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost.

The Company did not impair any loan-backed securities to the estimated present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Evaluating Temporarily Impaired Bonds for OTTI

As more fully described in Note 1, the Company performs a regular evaluation, on a security-by- security basis, of its securities holdings in accordance with its OTTI policy in order to evaluate whether such investments are other than temporarily impaired. These securities were included in the Company's OTTI review process. With respect to loan-backed securities in the bond portfolio, the Company performs scenario analyses. The scenarios attempt to project future delinquencies and principal losses. Based upon the Company's current evaluation of its securities in an unrealized loss position in accordance with its impairment policy, and the Company's current intentions and assessments (as applicable to the type of security) about holding, selling and any requirements to sell these securities, the Company concluded that these securities were not other than temporarily impaired. Future impairments will depend primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including changes in estimated present value of projected future cash flows to be collected) and changes in credit ratings, collateral valuations, interest rates and credit spreads. If economic fundamentals deteriorate or if there are adverse changes in the above factors, additional impairments may be incurred in upcoming periods.

Gross unrealized losses on bonds increased $22 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 to $184 million from $162 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in gross unrealized losses for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to increasing interest rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Derivatives

The Company uses foreign currency exchange rate derivatives, including foreign currency swaps to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets denominated in foreign currencies.

In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between one currency and another at a fixed exchange rate, generally set at inception, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party.

Equity Market Derivatives

The Company uses equity derivatives to reduce its exposure to equity market risk, including equity index options and total rate of return swaps.

Equity index options are used by the Company to hedge index-linked annuity products against adverse changes in equity markets. In an equity index option transaction, the Company enters into contracts to buy or sell the equity index within a limited time at a contracted price. The contracts will be net settled in cash, based on differentials in the indices at the time of exercise and the strike price. Certain of these contracts may also contain settlement provisions linked to interest rates. In certain instances, the Company may enter into a combination of transactions to hedge adverse changes in equity indices within a pre-determined range through the purchase and sale of options.

Total rate of return swaps are swaps whereby the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between the economic risk and reward of an asset or a market index and a floating rate, most commonly Fed Funds, calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. No cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract. Cash is paid and received over the life of the contract based on the terms of the swap. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master

For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made by the counterparty at each due date. Total rate of return swaps are used by the Company to hedge index-linked annuity products against adverse changes in equity markets.

Exchange-traded equity futures are used by the Company to manage equity risks related to index- linked annuities. In exchange-trade equity futures transactions, the Company agrees to purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the value of which is determined by the different classes of equity securities, and to post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily market values of those contracts. The Company enters into exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission merchants that are members of the exchange. In certain instances, the Company may lock in the economic impact of existing exchange-traded equity futures by entering into offsetting positions.

Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company uses interest rate derivatives to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates, including interest rate caps.

Interest rate caps are purchased by the Company primarily to protect against interest rate exposure arising from duration mismatches between assets and liabilities. At the outset of the contract, the Company pays a premium for the right to receive the cash payments equal to the excess of the market rate over the strike price multiplied by the notional amount, if the observed reference interest rate is above the strike level of the cap on the applicable reset date. In certain instances, the Company may lock in the economic impact of existing purchased caps by entering into offsetting written caps.

Interest rate swaps are used by the Company to manage interest rate risks related to index-linked annuities. In an interest rate swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. In certain instances, the Company may lock in the economic impact of existing interest rate swaps by entering into offsetting positions.

Hedging

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company designates and accounts for foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated assets as cash flow hedges when they have met the effectiveness requirements of SSAP 86.

All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no gains (losses) related to cash flow derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that no longer qualify for hedge accounting or for which the Company removed the hedge designation.

In certain instances, the Company may discontinue cash flow hedge accounting because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within two months of the anticipated date. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no gains (losses) related to such discontinued cash flow hedges.

There were no hedged forecasted transactions for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Non-qualifying Derivatives

The Company enters into the following derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting under SSAP 86: (i) interest rate caps and interest rate swaps to economically hedge its exposure to interest rates; (ii) foreign currency swaps to economically hedge its exposure to adverse movements in exchange rates; and (iii) equity index options, total rate of return swaps, and equity futures to hedge its exposure to equity risks.

Derivatives for Other than Hedging Purposes

The Company held no derivatives for other than hedging purposes during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Credit Risk

The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties to derivatives. Generally, the current credit exposure of the Company's derivatives is limited to the net positive estimated fair value of derivatives at the reporting date after taking into consideration the existence of master netting or similar agreements and any collateral received pursuant to such agreements.

The Company manages its credit risk related to derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties and establishing and monitoring exposure limits. The Company's OTC derivative transactions are governed by ISDA Master Agreements which provide for legally enforceable set-off and close-out netting of exposures to specific counterparties in the event of early termination of a transaction, which includes, but is not limited to, events of default and bankruptcy. In the event of an early termination, the Company is permitted to set-off receivables from the counterparty against payables to the same counterparty arising out of all included transactions. All of the Company's ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex provisions which may require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its OTC derivatives.

Off-balance sheet credit exposure is the excess of positive estimated fair value over positive book/ adjusted carrying value for the Company's highly effective hedges at the reporting date. All collateral received from counterparties to mitigate credit-related losses is deemed worthless for the purpose of calculating the Company's off-balance sheet credit exposure. The off-balance sheet credit exposure of the Company's swaps was $3 million for both years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company enters into various collateral arrangements, which may require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its derivatives. The table below summarizes the collateral pledged in connection with its OTC derivatives at December 31, (in millions):

The Company's collateral arrangements for its OTC derivatives generally require the counterparty in a net liability position, after considering the effect of netting agreements, to pledge collateral when the amount owed by that party reaches a minimum transfer amount. In addition, the Company's netting agreements for derivatives contain provisions that require both the Company

and the counterparty to maintain a specific investment grade credit rating from each of Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and Standard and Poor's Ratings Service ("S&P"). If a party's credit ratings were to fall below that specific investment grade credit rating, that party would be in violation of these provisions, and the other party to the derivatives could terminate the transactions and demand immediate settlement and payment based on such party's reasonable valuation of the derivatives.

Certain of the Company's derivative contracts require premiums to be paid at a series of specified future dates over the life of the contract or at maturity. The discounted value of these future settled premiums is accounted for separately from the estimated fair value of each derivative.

Note 6 — Reinsurance and Other Insurance Transactions

The Company enters into reinsurance agreements primarily as a purchaser of reinsurance for its various insurance products. The Company participates in reinsurance activities in order to limit losses, minimize exposure to significant risks and provide additional capacity for future growth.

For its individual life insurance products, the Company has historically reinsured the mortality risk primarily on an excess of retention basis or on a quota share basis. The Company currently retains up to $100,000 per life and reinsures 100% of amounts in excess of the amount the Company retains. In addition to reinsuring mortality risk as described above, the Company reinsures other risks, as well as specific coverages. Placement of reinsurance is done primarily on an automatic basis and also on a facultative basis for risks with specified characteristics. The Company evaluates its reinsurance programs routinely and may increase or decrease its retention at any time.

For annuities, the Company currently reinsures to Brighthouse Insurance 100% of certain variable annuity risks or 100% of the living and death benefit guarantees issued in connection with variable annuities. Under the benefit guarantee reinsurance agreements, the Company pays a reinsurance premium generally based on fees associated with the guarantees collected from policyholders, and receives reimbursement for benefits paid or accrued in excess of account values, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the Company currently reinsures to Brighthouse Insurance 90% of certain index-linked annuity policies.

The Company has exposure to catastrophes, which could contribute to significant fluctuations in the Company's results of operations. The Company uses excess of retention and quota share reinsurance agreements to provide greater diversification of risk and minimize exposure to larger risks.

The Company reinsures its business through a diversified group of highly rated reinsurers. The Company analyzes recent trends in arbitration and litigation outcomes in disputes, if any, and monitors ratings and the financial strength of its reinsurers. In addition, the reinsurance recoverable balance due from each reinsurer and the recoverability of such balance is evaluated as part of this overall monitoring process. The Company generally secures large reinsurance recoverable balances with various forms of collateral, including secured trusts, funds withheld accounts and irrevocable letters of credit. No single unrelated reinsurer has a material obligation to the Company nor is the Company's business substantially dependent upon any reinsurance agreement. The Company is contingently liable with respect to ceded reinsurance should any reinsurer be unable to meet its obligations under these agreements.

The financial statements include the impact of reinsurance.

The Company has ceded reinsurance to related and unrelated companies that are unauthorized, or not accredited to write reinsurance agreements in the domiciliary state of the Company. The unauthorized reinsurance liability is calculated to record a liability for reserve credits taken that are not fully collateralized by each unauthorized reinsurance company. The unauthorized companies provide collateral to the Company to support the ceded liabilities. The collateral provided includes but is not limited to letters of credit ("LOCs") and trust agreements. The unauthorized liability balance for the Company was less than $1 million at both December 31, 2024 and 2023. LOCs that are provided for reinsurance agreements with unrelated companies totaled less than $1 million at both December 31, 2024 and 2023. Assets held in trust for reinsurance agreements with Brighthouse Insurance totaled $3,771 million and $2,458 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company has entered into reinsurance agreements to cede in-force business to reinsurers. These agreements may result in deferred gains on reinsurance, net of income tax, which are recorded in unassigned surplus (deficit). The change in deferred gains on reinsurance is recognized as an adjustment to surplus and is reflected in change in surplus as a result of reinsurance. The rollforward of deferred gains on reinsurance agreements is as follows at December 31, (in millions):

Note 7 — Reserves for Life Contracts and Deposit-Type Contracts

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns any portion of the final premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values are not promised in excess of the legally computed reserves at December 31, 2024. Reserves amounting to less than $1 million at December 31, 2023, were held for surrender values in excess of the legally computed reserves.

The method employed in the valuation of substandard policies is identical to the method employed in the valuation of standard policies; a mean reserve method is used, but for substandard policies, the mean reserves are based on appropriate multiples of standard rates of mortality.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $48 million and $54 million, respectively, of insurance in-force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the standard valuation set by the NYDFS. Direct reserves to cover the above insurance totaled $1 million for both years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The tabular interest has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions for all traditional product types. For universal life, variable universal life, and flexible premium annuity products, accrued interest credited to the fund balances was used in the calculations of tabular interest.

The tabular interest, tabular less actual reserve released, and tabular cost have been determined by formula as described by the NAIC instructions.

For the determination of tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies for each valuation rate of interest, the tabular interest is calculated as one hundredth of the product of such valuation rate of interest times the mean of the amount of funds subject to such valuation rate of interest held at the beginning and end of the valuation period.

The general nature of other reserve changes are items that include reserves established as a result of asset adequacy analysis, reserves for secondary guarantees on universal life policies and General Account reserves held for variable annuity guaranteed minimum death benefits and for variable annuity guaranteed living benefits.

Note 9 — Separate Accounts

The Company utilizes Separate Accounts to support and record segregated assets and liabilities related to variable and certain index-linked annuities. Separate Account assets and liabilities for variable annuities represent segregated funds which are administered for clients. Investment risks associated with market value changes are generally borne by the policyholders, except to the extent of the minimum guarantees made by the Company with respect to variable annuities. The assets related to variable annuities are carried at estimated fair value. For index-linked annuities where investment risks are shared between policyholders and the Company, assets are generally carried at amortized cost.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company's Separate Account assets that are legally insulated from the General Account claims were $4,040 million and $4,126 million, respectively. The assets consist of certain mutual funds. The liabilities consist of reserves established to meet withdrawal and future benefit payment contractual provisions.

The Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations. The income tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction and subsidiary. The Company is no longer subject to federal, state or local income tax examinations for years prior to 2017. Management believes it has established adequate tax liabilities, and final resolution of any audit for the years 2017 and forward is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements — (Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

The Consolidating Companies are parties to a tax sharing agreement (and related supplements) which allocates tax liability in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which members shall receive reimbursement to the extent that their tax attributes result in a reduction of the tax liability of the consolidated group.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had a liability of less than $1 million for unrecognized tax benefits, computed in accordance with SSAP No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies, and Impairments of Assets ("SSAP 5R").

The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the next 12 months. A reasonable estimate of the increase or decrease cannot be made at this time.

The Company recorded less than $1 million of interest expense (benefit) (net of Federal tax benefit (cost)) in Federal and foreign income taxes incurred, related to unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The company had less than $1 million accrued for the payment of interest at both December 31, 2024 and 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company is a nonapplicable reporting entity for Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax ("CAMT") purposes.

Dividend Restrictions

Under New York State Insurance Law, the Company, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay stockholder dividends to Brighthouse Insurance in any calendar year based on either of two standards. Under one standard, the Company is permitted, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay dividends out of earned surplus (defined as positive unassigned funds (surplus), excluding 85% of the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses (less capital gains tax), for the immediately preceding calendar year), in an amount up to the greater of: (i) 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year, or (ii) its statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year (excluding realized capital gains), not to exceed 30% of surplus to policyholders as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year. In addition, under this standard, the Company may not, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, pay any dividends in any calendar year immediately following a calendar year for which its net gain from operations, excluding realized capital gains, was negative. Under the second standard, if dividends are paid out of other than earned surplus, the Company may, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, pay an amount up to the lesser of: (i) 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year, or (ii) its statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year (excluding realized capital gains). In addition, the Company will be permitted to pay a dividend to Brighthouse Insurance in excess of the amounts allowed under both standards only if it files notice of its intention to declare such a dividend and the amount thereof with the New York Superintendent of Financial Services (the "Superintendent") and the Superintendent either approves the distribution of the dividend or does not disapprove the dividend within 30 days of its filing. Based on amounts at December 31, 2024, the Company could not pay its parent a stockholder dividend in 2025 without required prior approval of the Superintendent.

Note 12 — Other Commitments and Contingencies

Insolvency Assessments

Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is admitted to transact business require life insurers doing business within the jurisdiction to participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed life insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer engaged. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets.

Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY

Notes to Statutory Financial Statements — (Continued)
For the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

New York, the only jurisdiction in which the Company is admitted to transact business requires life insurers doing business within the jurisdiction to participate in the New York Life Insurance Guaranty Corporation, which is organized to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed life insurers. This corporation levies assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member insurers in the state on the basis of: (1) the proportionate share of the New York premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer engaged and (2) the proportionate share of New York assets held by member insurers. The corporation permits member insurers to recover a limited portion of assessments paid through premium tax offsets.

As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a liability for retrospective premium- based guaranty fund assessments and an asset for the related premium tax offset, each of less than $1 million. The periods over which the guaranty fund assessments are expected to be paid and the periods the related premium tax offsets are expected to be realized are unknown at this time.

The change in the guaranty asset balance is less than $1 million which reflects estimated premium tax offsets for Executive Life of New York based on revised estimated cost information provided by The National Organization of Life and Health Guaranty Associations.

It is possible that a large catastrophic event could render such guaranty funds inadequate and the Company may be called upon to contribute additional amounts, which may have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations in a particular period. The Company has established liabilities for guaranty fund assessments which it considers adequate for assessments with respect to insurers that are currently subject to insolvency proceedings, but additional liabilities may be necessary.

Litigation

Sales Practice Claims and Regulatory Matters. Over the past several years, the Company has faced claims and regulatory inquiries and investigations, alleging improper marketing or sales of individual life insurance policies, annuities, or other products issued by the Company. The Company vigorously defends against the claims in these matters.

Summary. Various litigations, claims and assessments against the Company, in addition to those discussed above and those otherwise provided for in the Company's financial statements, have arisen in the course of the Company's business, including, but not limited to, in connection with its activities as an insurer, investor or taxpayer. The Company also receives and responds to subpoenas or other inquiries seeking a broad range of information from various state and federal regulators, agencies and officials. The issues involved in information requests and regulatory matters vary widely, but can include inquiries or investigations concerning the Company's compliance with applicable insurance and other laws and regulations. The Company cooperates in these inquiries.

It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending investigations and legal proceedings. In some of the matters, large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, may be sought. Although, in light of these considerations, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain cases could have a material effect upon the Company's financial position, based on information currently known by the Company's management, in its opinion, the outcomes of pending investigations and legal proceedings are not likely to have such an effect. However, given the large and/or indeterminate amounts that may be sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material effect on the Company's net income or cash flows in any particular period.

Other Contingencies

As with litigation and regulatory loss contingencies, the Company considers establishing liabilities for certain nonlitigation loss contingencies when assertions are made involving disputes or other matters with counterparties to contractual arrangements entered into by the Company, including with third-party vendors. The Company establishes liabilities for such non-litigation loss contingencies when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In matters where it is not probable, but is reasonably possible that a loss will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, such losses or range of losses are disclosed, and no accrual is made. In the absence of sufficient information to support an assessment of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, no accrual is made and no loss or range of loss is disclosed.

discussion as warranted.
 

The Company is obligated to indemnify the proprietary mutual fund, offered by the Separate Accounts, and the fund's directors and officers as provided in certain Participation Agreements.

 

Intercompany and related party guarantees that are considered "unlimited" and as such are excluded from recognition.

 

Expense

The Company has made no payments on the guarantee since inception.

 

The Company has provided certain indemnities, guarantees and/or commitments to affiliates and third parties in the ordinary course of its business. In the context of acquisitions, dispositions, investments and other transactions, the Company has provided indemnities and guarantees that are triggered by, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by the Company.

 

No liability has been established as the indemnification is for future events for which neither a probability of occurrence nor a reasonable estimate can be established at this time.

Note 13 — Retained Assets

The Company's retained asset account, known as the Total Control Account ("TCA"), was a settlement option or method of payment that was used for amounts due under life insurance and annuity contracts. TCAs are no longer offered as a settlement option and only existing TCAs remain. The TCA Customer Agreement provided to each accountholder is a contract that is supplementary to the insurance or annuity contract. TCAs are reported in the Annual Statement as amounts on deposit for ordinary supplementary contracts not involving life contingencies.

Each TCA has a guaranteed minimum annual effective interest rate. Guaranteed minimum interest rates for TCAs that remained open during calendar year 2024 were 3.0%, 1.5% or 0.5% depending on the age and origin of the account. In addition to the guaranteed minimum interest rate, the Company also agrees in the TCA Customer Agreement to credit interest at rates that will always be the greater of the guaranteed rate or the rate established by one of two market indices. During calendar year 2024, all TCAs received interest of at least the account's guaranteed minimum annual effective interest rate.

The Company's TCA business is 100% reinsured with MetLife Services and Solutions, LLC.

The Company's TCA in-force, categorized by age, at December 31, were as follows (in millions, except number of asset accounts):

Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company
Consolidated Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the Years Ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022
and Independent Auditor’s Report




INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries (a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statement, the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies, its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.



Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company (“MTL”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. The Company is domiciled in Nebraska and is licensed to transact insurance business in, and is subject to regulation by all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Canada and Puerto Rico. The Company is actively selling to institutional customers a broad range of annuity and investment products, including guaranteed investment contracts and other stable value products, pension risk transfer products, including United Kingdom (“U.K.”) longevity reinsurance and funded reinsurance, post-retirement medical benefit products, structured settlements and certain products to fund company-, bank- or trust-owned life insurance used to finance nonqualified benefit programs for executives. The Company no longer markets individual annuities, variable and universal life insurance, and traditional life insurance.
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported on the consolidated financial statements. In applying these policies and estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that frequently require assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Many of these policies, estimates and related judgments are common in the insurance and financial services industries; others are specific to the Company’s business and operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MTL and its subsidiaries, as well as partnerships in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
The Company uses either the equity method of accounting or the fair value option (“FVO”) for its investments in real estate joint ventures (“REJV”) and other limited partnership interests (“OLPI”) when it has more than a minor ownership interest or more than a minor influence over the investee’s operations. The Company generally recognizes its share of the investee’s earnings in net investment income on 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.
Since the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies, its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity.
Separate Accounts
Separate accounts are established in conformity with insurance laws. Generally, the assets of the separate accounts cannot be used to settle the liabilities that arise from any other business of the Company. Separate account assets are subject to general account claims only to the extent the value of such assets exceeds the separate account liabilities. The Company separately reports, as separate account assets and liabilities, investments held in separate accounts and corresponding policyholder liabilities of the same amount if all of the following criteria are met:
such separate accounts are legally recognized;
assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company’s general account liabilities;
investment objectives are directed by the contractholder; and
all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contractholder.

The Company reports separate account assets at their fair value, which is based on the estimated fair values of the underlying assets comprising the individual separate account portfolios. Investment performance (including investment income, net investment gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses)) and the corresponding amounts credited to contractholders of such separate accounts are offset within the same line on the statements of operations. Separate accounts credited with a contractual investment return are not reported as separate account assets and liabilities and are combined on a line-by-line basis with the Company’s general account assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the accounting for these investments is consistent with the methodologies described herein for similar financial instruments held within the general account.
The Company’s revenues reflect fees charged to the separate accounts, including mortality charges, risk charges, policy administration fees, investment management fees and surrender charges. Such fees are included in universal life and investment-type product policy fees on the statements of operations.

Future Policy Benefit Liabilities
Traditional Non-participating and Limited-payment Long-duration products
The Company establishes future policy benefit liabilities (“FPBs”) for amounts payable under traditional non-participating and limited-payment long-duration insurance and reinsurance policies which include, but are not limited to, annuities products which include pension risk transfers, structured settlements and institutional income annuities. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted an accounting pronouncement related to targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts (“LDTI”) with a January 1, 2021 transition date (the “LDTI Transition Date”). Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time and the related liabilities are calculated as the present value of future expected benefits and claim settlement expenses to be paid, reduced by the present value of future expected net premiums.
FPBs are measured as cohorts (e.g., groups of long-duration contracts), with the exception of pension risk transfers and longevity reinsurance solutions contracts, each of which is generally considered its own cohort. Contracts from different subsidiaries or branches, issue years, benefit currencies and product types are not grouped together in the same cohort.
Such liabilities are established based on methods and underlying assumptions in accordance with GAAP and applicable actuarial standards. A net premium ratio (“NPR”) approach is utilized, where net premiums (i.e., the portion of gross premiums required to fund expected insurance benefits and claim settlement expenses) are accrued each period as FPBs. The NPR used to accrue the FPB in each period is determined by using the historical and present value of expected future benefits and claim settlement expenses for the cohort divided by the historical and present value of expected future gross premiums for the cohort.

Cash flow assumptions are incorporated into the calculation of a cohort's NPR and FPB reserve. These assumptions are used to project the amount and timing of expected benefits and claim settlement expenses to be paid and the expected amount of premiums to be collected for a cohort. The principal inputs and assumptions used in the establishment of FPBs are actual premiums, actual benefits, in-force policies, and best estimate cash flow assumptions to project future premium and benefit amounts. The Company’s primary best estimate cash flow assumptions include expectations related to mortality, morbidity, termination, claim settlement expense, policy lapse, renewal, retirement, disability incidence, disability terminations, inflation and other contingent events as appropriate to the respective product type and geographical area. Generally, the NPR and FPB reserve are updated retrospectively on a quarterly basis for actual experience and at least once a year for any changes in future cash flow assumptions, except for claim settlement expenses, for which the Company has elected to lock in assumptions at the LDTI Transition Date or inception (for contracts sold after the LDTI Transition Date), as allowed by LDTI. The resulting remeasurement (gain) loss is recorded through net income and reflects the impact of the change in the NPR based on experience at the end of the quarter applied to the cumulative premiums received from the inception of the cohort (or from the LDTI Transition Date for contracts issued prior to the LDTI Transition Date) to the beginning of the quarter. The total contractual profit pattern is recognized over the expected life of the cohort by retrospectively updating the NPR. If net premiums exceed gross premiums (i.e., expected benefits exceed expected gross premiums), the FPB is increased, and a corresponding adjustment is recognized immediately in net income.
The change in FPB reflected in the statement of operations is calculated using a locked-in discount rate. For products issued prior to the LDTI Transition Date, a cohort level locked-in discount rate was developed that reflected the interest accretion rates that were locked in at inception of the underlying contracts (unless there was a historical premium deficiency event that resulted in updating the interest accretion rate prior to the LDTI Transition Date), or the acquisition date for contracts acquired through an assumed in-force reinsurance transaction or a business combination. For contracts issued subsequent to the LDTI Transition Date, the upper-medium grade discount rate used for interest accretion is locked in for the cohort and represents the original upper-medium grade discount rate at the issue date of the underlying contracts. The FPB for all cohorts is remeasured to a current upper-medium grade discount rate at each reporting date through other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”).
The Company generally interprets the upper-medium grade discount rate to be a rate comparable to that of a corporate single A rate that reflects the duration characteristics of the liability. The upper-medium grade discount rate for the products that are included in the disaggregated rollforwards in Note 2 which are issued in the U.S. is determined by using observable market data, including published single A base curves. The last liquid point on the upper-medium grade discount curve grades to an ultimate forward rate, which is derived using assumptions of economic growth, inflation, and a long-term upper-medium grade spread.
For limited-payment long-duration contracts, the collection of premiums does not represent the completion of the earnings process, therefore, any gross premiums received in excess of net premiums is deferred and amortized as a deferred profit liability (“DPL”). The DPL is presented within FPBs and is amortized in proportion to either the present value of expected benefit payments or insurance in-force of each cohort to ensure that profits are recognized over the life of the underlying policies in that cohort, regardless of when premiums are received. This amortization of the DPL is recorded through net income within policyholder benefits and claims. Consistent with the Company’s measurement of traditional long-duration products, management also recognizes an FPB reserve for limited-payment contracts that is representative of the difference between the present value of expected future benefits and the present value of expected future net premiums, subject to retrospective remeasurement through net income and OCI, as described above. The DPL is also subject to retrospective remeasurement through net income, however, it is not remeasured for changes in discount rates.
When a cohort’s present value of future net premiums exceeds the present value of future benefits, a “flooring” adjustment is required. The flooring adjustment ensures that the liability for FPBs for each cohort is not less than zero, and is reported in net income or OCI, depending on whether the flooring relates to the FPBs discounted at the locked-in discount rate versus the current upper-medium grade discount rate, respectively.
Traditional Participating Products
The Company establishes FPBs for traditional participating contracts in the U.S., which include whole and term life participating contracts using a net premium approach, similar to traditional non-participating contracts. However, for
MTL - 11


Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
participating contracts, the discount rate and actuarial assumptions are locked in at inception, include a provision for adverse deviation, and all changes in the associated FPBs are reported within policyholder benefits and claims. For traditional participating contracts, the Company reviews its estimates of actuarial liabilities for future benefits and compares them with current best estimate assumptions. The Company revises estimates, to increase FPBs, if the Company determines that the liabilities previously established for future benefit payments less future expected net premiums in the aggregate for this line of business prove inadequate.
Additional Insurance Liabilities
Liabilities for universal life policies with secondary guarantees (“ULSG”) and paid-up guarantees are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits payable when the account balance is projected to be zero and recognizing those benefits ratably over the life of the contract based on total expected assessments. The additional insurance liabilities are updated retrospectively on a quarterly basis for actual experience and at least once a year for any changes in future cash flow assumptions. The assumptions used in estimating the secondary and paid-up guarantee liabilities are investment income, mortality, lapse, and premium payment pattern and persistency. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility for variable products are consistent with historical experience of appropriate underlying equity indices, such as the Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings (“S&P”) 500 Index. The benefits used in calculating the liabilities are based on the average benefits payable over a range of scenarios.
The resulting adjustments are recorded as policyholder liability remeasurement (gains) losses in the statement of operations reflecting the impact on the change in the ratio of benefits payable to total assessments over the life of the contract based on experience at the end of the quarter applied to the cumulative assessments received as of the beginning of the quarter.
Premium Deficiency Reserves
Premium deficiency reserves may be established for short-duration contracts to provide for expected future losses and certain expenses that exceed unearned premiums. These reserves are based on actuarial estimates of the amount of loss inherent in that period, including losses incurred for which claims have not been reported. The provisions for unreported claims are calculated using studies that measure the historical length of time between the incurred date of a claim and its eventual reporting to the Company.
For universal life-type and certain participating contracts, a premium deficiency reserve may be established when existing contract liabilities, together with the present value of future fees and/or premiums, are not sufficient to cover the present value of future benefits and settlement costs.
Anticipated investment income is also considered in the calculations of premium deficiency reserves for short-duration contracts, as well as universal life-type and certain participating contracts.
Policyholder Account Balances
Policyholder account balances (“PABs”) represent the amount held by the Company on behalf of the policyholder at each reporting date. This amount includes deposits received from the policyholder, interest credited to the policyholder’s account balance, net of charges assessed against the account balance, and any policyholder withdrawals. This balance also includes liabilities for structured settlement and institutional income annuities, and certain other contracts, that do not contain significant insurance risk.
Market Risk Benefits
As defined by LDTI, market risk benefits (“MRBs”) are contracts or contract features that guarantee benefits, such as guaranteed minimum benefits, in addition to an account balance, which expose insurance companies to other than nominal capital market risk (e.g., equity price, interest rate, and/or foreign currency exchange risk) and protect the contractholder from the same risk. These contracts and contract features were generally recorded as embedded derivatives or additional insurance liabilities prior to the LDTI Transition Date. Certain contracts may have multiple contract features or guarantees. In these cases, each feature is separately evaluated to determine whether it meets the definition of an MRB at contract inception. If a contract includes multiple benefits that meet the definition of an MRB, those benefits are aggregated and measured as a single compound MRB.
MTL - 12


Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
All identified MRBs are required to be measured at estimated fair value, whether the contract or contract feature represents a direct, assumed or ceded capital market risk. All MRBs in an asset position are aggregated and presented as an asset, and all MRBs in a liability position are aggregated and presented as a liability. MRB assets of $22 million and $12 million are reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Changes in the estimated fair value of MRBs are recognized in net income, except for the portion of the fair value change attributable to the change in nonperformance risk of the Company which is recorded as a separate component of OCI.
The Company generally uses an attributed fee approach to value MRBs, where the attributed fee is determined at contract inception by estimating the fair value of expected future benefits and the expected future fees. The attributed fee percentage is the portion of the expected future fees due from contractholders deemed necessary at contract inception to fund all future expected benefits. This typically results in a zero fair value for the MRB at inception. The estimated fair value of the expected future benefits is estimated using a stochastically-generated set of risk-neutral scenarios. Once calculated, the attributed fee percentage is fixed and does not change over the life of the contract. All fees due from contractholders in excess of the attributed fees are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees.
Other Policy-Related Balances
Other policy-related balances include policy and contract claims, premiums received in advance, unearned revenue (“UREV”) liabilities, obligations assumed under structured settlement assignments, policyholder dividends due and unpaid and policyholder dividends left on deposit.
The Company assumed structured settlement claim obligations as an assignment company. These liabilities are measured at the present value of the future periodic claims to be provided. The Company received a fee for assuming these claim obligations and, as the assignee of the claim, is legally obligated to ensure periodic payments are made to the claimant. See Note 7 for additional information on obligations assumed under structured settlement assignments.
The liability for policy and contract claims generally relates to incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) death claims. In addition, generally included in other policy-related balances are claims which have been reported but not yet settled. The liability for these claims is based on the Company’s estimated ultimate cost of settling all claims. The Company derives estimates for the development of IBNR claims principally from analyses of historical patterns of claims by business line. The methods used to determine these estimates are continually reviewed. Adjustments resulting from this continuous review process and differences between estimates and payments for claims are recognized in policyholder benefits and claims expense in the period in which the estimates are changed or payments are made.
The Company accounts for the prepayment of premiums on its individual life, group life and health contracts as premiums received in advance. These amounts are then recognized in premiums when due.
The UREV liability relates to universal life and investment-type products and represents policy charges for services to be provided in future periods. The charges are deferred as UREV and amortized on a basis consistent with the methodologies and assumptions used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) for the related contracts. Changes in the UREV liability for each period (representing deferrals less amortization) are reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees. The Company’s UREV liabilities were $13 million and $15 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Recognition of Insurance Revenues and Deposits
Premiums related to long-duration whole and term life products, individual disability, individual and group fixed annuities (including pension risk transfers, certain structured settlements and certain income annuities) and participating products are recognized as revenues when due from policyholders. Policyholder benefits and expenses are provided to recognize profits over the estimated lives of the insurance policies. When premiums are due over a significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are provided, any excess profit is deferred as a DPL and recognized into earnings in a constant relationship to insurance in-force or, for annuities, the present value of expected FPB payments.
Premiums related to short-duration group term life and disability contracts are recognized on a pro rata basis over the applicable contract term. Unearned premiums, representing the portion of premium written related to the unexpired coverage, are reflected as liabilities until earned.

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Deposits related to universal life and investment-type products are credited to PABs. Revenues from such contracts consist of fees for mortality, policy administration and surrender charges and are recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees in the period in which services are provided. Amounts that are charged to earnings include interest credited and benefit claims incurred in excess of related PABs.
All revenues and expenses are presented net of ceded reinsurance, as applicable.
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired
The Company incurs significant costs in connection with acquiring new and renewal insurance business. Costs that are related directly to the successful acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts are capitalized as DAC. Such costs include: 
incremental direct costs of contract acquisition, such as commissions;
the portion of an employee’s total compensation and benefits related to time spent selling, underwriting or processing the issuance of new and renewal insurance business only with respect to actual policies acquired or renewed; and
other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a policy not been acquired or renewed.
All other acquisition-related costs, including those related to general advertising and solicitation, market research, agent training, product development, unsuccessful sales and underwriting efforts, as well as all indirect costs, are expensed as incurred.
Value of business acquired (“VOBA”) is an intangible asset resulting from a business combination that represents the excess of book value over the estimated fair value of acquired insurance, annuity, and investment-type contracts in-force at the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of the acquired liabilities is based on projections, by each block of business, of future policy and contract charges, premiums, mortality and morbidity, separate account performance, surrenders, operating expenses, investment returns, nonperformance risk adjustment and other factors. Actual experience with the purchased business may vary from these projections. VOBA is subject to periodic recoverability testing for traditional life and limited-payment contracts, as well as universal life type contracts.
DAC and VOBA for most long-duration products are amortized on a constant-level basis that approximates straight-line amortization on an individual contract basis. The DAC and VOBA related to limited-payment annuities are amortized over expected benefit payments, and for all other long-duration products are generally amortized in proportion to policy count. For short-duration products, DAC and VOBA are amortized in proportion to actual and expected future earned premiums.
DAC and VOBA are aggregated on the financial statements for reporting purposes. See Note 5 for additional information on DAC and VOBA amortization. Amortization of DAC and VOBA is included in other expenses.
Reinsurance
For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines whether the agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Cessions under reinsurance agreements do not discharge the Company’s obligations as the primary insurer. The Company reviews all contractual features, including those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims.
For reinsurance of existing in-force blocks of long-duration contracts that transfer significant insurance risk, the difference, if any, between the net consideration paid (received), and the liabilities ceded (assumed) related to the underlying reinsured contracts is generally considered the net cost of reinsurance at the inception of the reinsurance agreement. The net cost of reinsurance is amortized on a basis consistent with the methodologies and assumptions used for amortizing DAC related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Subsequent accounting for in-force blocks and new business assumed is the same as if the business was directly sold by the Company.
For prospective reinsurance of short-duration contracts that meet the criteria for reinsurance accounting, amounts paid (received) are recorded as ceded (assumed) premiums and ceded (assumed) unearned premiums. Ceded (assumed) unearned premiums are reflected as a component of premiums, reinsurance and other receivables (future policy benefits). Such amounts are amortized through earned premiums over the remaining contract period in proportion to the amount of
MTL - 14

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
insurance protection provided. For retroactive reinsurance of short-duration contracts that meet the criteria for reinsurance accounting, amounts paid (received) in excess of the related insurance liabilities ceded (assumed) are recognized immediately as a loss and are reported in policyholder benefits and claims. Any gain by the ceding entity on such retroactive agreement is deferred as a liability and is amortized over the estimated remaining settlement period.
The reinsurance recoverable for traditional non-participating and limited-payment contracts is generally measured using a net premium methodology to accrue the projected net gain or loss on reinsurance in proportion to the gross premiums of the underlying reinsured cohorts; and is updated retrospectively on a quarterly basis for actual experience and at least once a year for any changes in cash flow assumptions. The locked-in discount rate used to measure changes in the reinsurance recoverable recorded in net income was established at the LDTI Transition Date, or at the inception of the reinsurance coverage for reinsurance agreements entered into subsequent to the LDTI Transition Date. The reinsurance recoverable is remeasured to an upper-medium grade discount rate through OCI at each reporting date, similar to the underlying reinsured contracts. The reinsurance recoverable for other long-duration contracts and associated contract features is measured using assumptions and methods generally consistent with the underlying direct policies.
Amounts currently recoverable under reinsurance agreements are included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables and amounts payable including funds withheld liabilities on coinsurance or modified coinsurance agreements are included in other liabilities. Assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer may be recorded net on the balance sheet, if a right of offset exists within the reinsurance agreement. In the event that reinsurers do not meet their obligations to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, reinsurance recoverable balances could become uncollectible. In such instances, reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of an allowance for credit loss (“ACL”).
The funds withheld liability represents amounts withheld by the Company in accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreements. The Company withholds the funds rather than transferring the underlying investments and, as a result, records funds withheld liability within other liabilities. The Company recognizes interest on funds withheld, included in other expenses, at rates defined by the terms of the agreement which may be contractually specified or directly related to the investment portfolio.
Premiums, fees, policyholder liability remeasurement (gains) losses, and policyholder benefits and claims include amounts assumed under reinsurance agreements and are reported net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in other expenses.
If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of accounting. Deposits received are included in other liabilities and deposits made are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. As amounts are paid or received, consistent with the underlying contracts, the deposit assets or liabilities are adjusted. Interest on such deposits is recorded as other revenues or other expenses, as appropriate. Periodically, the Company evaluates the adequacy of the expected payments or recoveries and adjusts the deposit asset or liability through other revenues or other expenses, as appropriate.
Investments
Net Investment Income
Net investment income includes primarily interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount, prepayment fees, dividend income, rental income and equity method income and is net of related investment expenses. Net investment income also includes: (i) realized gains (losses) on investments sold or disposed and (ii) unrealized gains (losses) recognized in earnings, representing changes in estimated fair value, primarily for FVO securities.
Net Investment Gains (Losses)
Net investment gains (losses) include primarily (i) realized gains (losses) from sales and other disposals of investments, which are determined by specific identification, (ii) intent-to-sell impairment losses on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) and impairment losses on all other asset classes, and to a lesser extent, (iii) recognized gains (losses). Recognized gains (losses) are primarily comprised of the change in the ACL and unrealized gains (losses) for certain investments for which changes in estimated fair value are recognized in earnings. Changes in
MTL - 15


Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
the ACL include both (i) provisions for credit loss on fixed maturity securities AFS, mortgage loans and certain leases, and (ii) subsequent changes in the ACL. Unrealized gains (losses), representing changes in estimated fair value recognized in earnings, primarily relate to equity securities and certain OLPI and REJV.
Accrued Investment Income
Accrued investment income is presented separately on the consolidated balance sheet and excluded from the carrying value of the related investments, primarily fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans.
Fixed Maturity Securities
The majority of the Company’s fixed maturity securities are classified as AFS and are reported at their estimated fair value. Changes in the estimated fair value of these securities not recognized in earnings representing unrecognized unrealized investment gains (losses) are recorded as a separate component of OCI, net of policy-related amounts and deferred income taxes. All security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis.
Interest income and prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Interest income is recognized using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premium and accretion of discount, and is based on the estimated economic life of the securities, which for mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities considers the estimated timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying loans. See Note 7 “— Fixed Maturity Securities AFS — Methodology for Amortization of Premium and Accretion of Discount on Structured Products.” The amortization of premium and accretion of discount also take into consideration call and maturity dates. Generally, the accrual of income is ceased and accrued investment income that is considered uncollectible is recognized as a charge within net investment gains (losses) when securities are impaired.
The Company periodically evaluates these securities for impairment. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on management’s case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in estimated fair value as described in Note 7 “— Fixed Maturity Securities AFS — Evaluation of Fixed Maturity Securities AFS for Credit Loss.”
For securities in an unrealized loss position, a credit loss is recognized in earnings within net investment gains (losses) when it is anticipated that the amortized cost, excluding accrued investment income, will not be recovered. When either: (i) the Company has the intent to sell the security; or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the reduction of amortized cost and the loss recognized in earnings is the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost and estimated fair value. If neither of these conditions exists, the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected is recognized in earnings as a credit loss by establishing an ACL with a corresponding charge recorded in net investment gains (losses). However, the ACL is limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost. This limitation is known as the “fair value floor.” If the estimated fair value is less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected, this portion of the decline in value related to other-than-credit factors (“noncredit loss”) is recorded in OCI as an unrecognized loss.
For purchased credit deteriorated fixed maturity securities AFS and financing receivables, an ACL is established at acquisition, which is added to the purchase price to establish the initial amortized cost of the investment and is not recognized in earnings.
Mortgage Loans
The Company may originate mortgage loans. The Company also acquires mortgage loans through an affiliate. The affiliate originates and acquires mortgage loans and the Company simultaneously purchases participation interests under a participation agreement. Mortgage loans acquired from affiliates that do not meet the conditions for sale accounting are treated as mortgage secured loans and reported within mortgage loans on the balance sheet.
The Company disaggregates its mortgage loan investments into three portfolio segments: commercial, agricultural and residential. Also included in commercial mortgage loans are revolving line of credit loans collateralized by commercial properties. The accounting policies that are applicable to all portfolio segments are presented below and the accounting policies related to each of the portfolio segments are included in Note 7.

Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company recognizes an ACL in earnings within net investment gains (losses) at time of purchase based on expected lifetime credit loss on mortgage loans, in an amount that represents the portion of the amortized cost basis of such mortgage loans that the Company does not expect to collect, resulting in mortgage loans being presented at the net amount expected to be collected.
The Company ceases to accrue interest when the collection of interest is not considered probable, which is based on a current evaluation of the status of the borrower, including the number of days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, uncollected past due accrued interest income that is considered uncollectible is charged-off against net investment income. Generally, the accrual of interest income resumes after all delinquent amounts are paid and management believes all future principal and interest payments will be collected. The Company records cash receipts on non-accruing loans in accordance with the loan agreement. The Company records charge-offs of mortgage loan balances not considered collectible upon the realization of a credit loss, for commercial and agricultural mortgage loans typically through foreclosure. The charge-off is recorded in net investment gains (losses), net of amounts recognized in ACL. Cash recoveries on principal amounts previously charged-off are generally reported in net investment gains (losses). Upon foreclosure, the mortgage is de-recognized, the collateral received is recognized at fair value, and any difference between the net carrying value of the mortgage loan and the fair value of the collateral received is recognized within net investment gains (losses).
Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses, and are net of ACL. Interest income and prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Interest income is recognized using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premium and deferred expenses and accretion of discount and deferred fees.
Policy Loans
Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Interest income is recognized as earned using the contractual interest rate. Generally, accrued interest is capitalized on the policy’s anniversary date. Valuation allowances are not established for policy loans, as they are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policies. Any unpaid principal and accrued interest are deducted from the cash surrender value or the death benefit prior to settlement of the insurance policy.
Real Estate
Real estate is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis, without any provision for salvage value, over the estimated useful life of the asset (typically up to 55 years). Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective leases. The Company periodically reviews its real estate for impairment and tests for recoverability when the carrying value of the real estate exceeds its estimated fair value and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Properties whose carrying values are greater than their estimated undiscounted cash flows are written down to their estimated fair value.
Real estate for which the Company commits to a plan to sell within one year and actively markets in its current condition for a reasonable price in comparison to its estimated fair value is classified as held-for-sale and is not depreciated. Real estate held-for-sale is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or estimated fair value less estimated disposition costs.
Real Estate Joint Ventures and Other Limited Partnership Interests
The Company uses the equity method of accounting or the FVO for an investee when it has more than a minor ownership interest or more than a minor influence over the investee’s operations but does not hold a controlling financial interest, including when the Company is not deemed the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Under the equity method, the Company recognizes its share of the investee’s earnings within net investment income. Contributions made by the Company increase carrying value and distributions received by the Company reduce carrying value. The Company generally recognizes its share of the investee’s earnings on 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company accounts for its interest in REJV and OLPI in which it has virtually no influence over the investee’s operations at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains (losses), representing changes in estimated fair value of these investments, are recognized in earnings within net investment gains (losses). Due to the nature and structure of these investments, they do not meet the characteristics of an equity security in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.
The Company consolidates REJV and OLPI when it holds a controlling financial interest, or it is deemed the primary beneficiary of an investee that is a VIE.
The Company routinely evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds its estimated fair value. When it is determined an equity method investment has had a loss in value that is other than temporary, an impairment is recognized. Such an impairment is charged to net investment gains (losses).
Short-term Investments
Short-term investments include highly liquid securities and other investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase. Securities included within short-term investments are stated at estimated fair value, while other investments included within short-term investments are stated at amortized cost less ACL, which approximates estimated fair value.
Annuities Funding Structured Settlement Claims
Annuities funding structured settlement claims represent annuities funding claims assumed by the Company in its capacity as a structured settlements assignment company. The annuities are stated at their contract value, which represents the present value of the future periodic claim payments to be provided. The net investment income recognized reflects the amortization of discount of the annuity at its implied effective interest rate.
Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets consist principally of the following:
Company-owned life insurance policies are carried at cash surrender value.
Freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values which are described in “— Derivatives” below.
Affiliated investments are comprised of affiliated loans which are stated at unpaid principal balance adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount. Interest income is recognized using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premium and accretion of discount.
Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) common stock are carried at redemption value and are considered restricted investments until redeemed by FHLBNY. Dividends are recognized in net investment income when declared.
Equity securities are reported at their estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value included in net investment gains (losses). Sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividends are recognized in net investment income when declared.
Securities Lending Transactions
The Company accounts for securities lending transactions as financing arrangements and the associated liability is recorded at the amount of cash received. The securities loaned or sold under these agreements are included in invested assets. Income and expenses associated with securities lending transactions are recognized as investment income and investment expense, respectively, within net investment income.
The Company enters into securities lending transactions, whereby securities are loaned to unaffiliated financial institutions. The Company obtains collateral at the inception of the loan, usually cash, in an amount generally equal to 102% of the estimated fair value of the securities loaned, and maintains it at a level greater than or equal to 100% for the duration of the loan. Securities loaned under such transactions may be sold or re-pledged by the transferee. The Company is liable to return to the counterparties the cash collateral received. Security collateral on deposit from counterparties in connection with securities lending transactions may not be sold or re-pledged, unless the counterparty is

in default, and is not reflected on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company monitors the ratio of the collateral held to the estimated fair value of the securities loaned on a daily basis and additional collateral is obtained as necessary throughout the duration of the loan.
Derivatives
Freestanding Derivatives
Freestanding derivatives are carried on the Company’s balance sheet either as assets within other invested assets or as liabilities within other liabilities at estimated fair value. The Company does not offset the estimated fair value amounts recognized for derivatives executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting agreement.
Accruals on derivatives are generally recorded in accrued investment income or within other liabilities. However, accruals that are not scheduled to settle within one year are included with the derivative’s carrying value in other invested assets or other liabilities.
If a derivative is not designated as an accounting hedge or its use in managing risk does not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative are reported in net derivative gains (losses) except for economic hedges of FVO securities, which are reported in net investment income.
Hedge Accounting
To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of the hedging relationship, the Company formally documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction, as well as its designation of the hedge. Hedge designation and financial statement presentation of changes in estimated fair value of the hedging derivatives are as follows:
Fair value hedge - a hedge of the estimated fair value of a recognized asset or liability - in the same line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. The carrying value of the hedged recognized asset or liability is adjusted for changes in its estimated fair value due to the hedged risk.
Cash flow hedge - a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability - in OCI and reclassified into the statement of operations when the Company’s earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item.
The changes in estimated fair values of the hedging derivatives are exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported on the statement of operations within interest income or interest expense to match the location of the hedged item.
In its hedge documentation, the Company sets forth how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the designated risks related to the hedged item and sets forth the method that will be used to retrospectively and prospectively assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness. A derivative designated as a hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed at inception and at least quarterly throughout the life of the designated hedging relationship. Assessments of hedge effectiveness are also subject to interpretation and estimation and different interpretations or estimates may have a material effect on the amount reported in net income.
The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (i) it is determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the derivative expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised; (iii) it is no longer probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur; or (iv) the derivative is de-designated as a hedging instrument.
When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative is not highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative continues to be carried on the balance sheet at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in net derivative gains (losses). The carrying value of the hedged recognized asset or liability under a fair value hedge is no longer adjusted for changes in its estimated fair value due to the hedged risk, and the cumulative adjustment to its carrying value is amortized into income over the remaining life of the hedged item. The changes in estimated fair value of derivatives related to discontinued cash flow hedges remain in OCI unless it is probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will not occur.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transactions will occur on the anticipated date or within two months of that date, the derivative continues to be carried on the balance sheet at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized currently in net derivative gains (losses). Deferred gains and losses of a derivative recorded in OCI pursuant to the discontinued cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction that is no longer probable of occurring are recognized immediately in net investment gains (losses).
In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative is carried at its estimated fair value on the balance sheet, with changes in its estimated fair value recognized in the current period as net derivative gains (losses).
Embedded Derivatives
The Company is a party to certain reinsurance agreements that have embedded derivatives. The Company assesses each identified embedded derivative to determine whether it is required to be bifurcated. The embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a freestanding derivative if:
the contract or contract feature does not meet the definition of a MRB;
the combined instrument is not accounted for in its entirety at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value recorded in earnings;
the terms of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and
a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would qualify as a derivative instrument.
Such embedded derivatives are carried on the balance sheet at estimated fair value with the host contract and changes in their estimated fair value are reported in net derivative gains (losses). If the Company is unable to properly identify and measure an embedded derivative for separation from its host contract, the entire contract is carried on the balance sheet at estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income. Additionally, the Company may elect to carry an entire contract on the balance sheet at estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income if that contract contains an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation.
Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In most cases, the exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition.
Subsequent to initial recognition, fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. When such unadjusted quoted prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, or other observable inputs. If these inputs are not available, or observable inputs are not determinable, unobservable inputs and/or adjustments to observable inputs requiring significant management judgment are used to determine the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities. These unobservable inputs can be based on management’s judgment, assumptions or estimation and may not be observable in market activity. Unobservable inputs are based on management’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the assets.

Income Tax
MTL and its includable subsidiaries join with MetLife, Inc. and its includable subsidiaries in filing a consolidated U.S. life insurance and non-life insurance federal income tax return in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Current taxes (and the benefits of tax attributes such as losses) are allocated to MTL and its includable subsidiaries under the consolidated tax return regulations and a tax sharing agreement. Under the consolidated tax return regulations, MetLife, Inc. has elected the “percentage method” (and 100% under such method) of reimbursing companies for tax attributes, e.g., net operating losses. As a result, 100% of tax attributes are reimbursed by MetLife, Inc. to the extent that consolidated federal income tax of the consolidated federal tax return group is reduced in a year by tax attributes. On an annual basis, each of the profitable subsidiaries pays to MetLife, Inc. the federal income tax which it would have paid based upon that year’s taxable income. If MTL or its includable subsidiaries have current or prior deductions and credits (including but not limited to losses) which reduce the consolidated tax liability of the consolidated federal tax return group, the deductions and credits are characterized as realized (or realizable) by MTL and its includable subsidiaries when those tax attributes are realized (or realizable) by the consolidated federal tax return group, even if MTL or its includable subsidiaries would not have realized the attributes on a stand-alone basis under a “wait and see” method.
The Company’s accounting for income taxes represents management’s best estimate of various events and transactions.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets when management determines, based on available information, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining whether valuation allowances should be established, as well as the amount of such allowances. When making such determination, the Company considers many factors, including:
the nature, frequency, and amount of cumulative financial reporting income and losses in recent years;
the jurisdiction in which the deferred tax asset was generated;
the length of time that carryforward can be utilized in the various taxing jurisdictions;
future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards;
future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;
taxable income in prior carryback years; and
tax planning strategies, including the intent and ability to hold certain AFS debt securities until they recover in value.
The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes when estimates used in determining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets significantly change or when receipt of new information indicates the need for adjustment in valuation allowances. Additionally, the effect of changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, is recognized in net income tax expense (benefit) in the period of change.
The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded on the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits due to tax uncertainties that do not meet the threshold are included within other liabilities and are charged to earnings in the period that such determination is made.
The Company classifies interest recognized as interest expense and penalties recognized as a component of income tax expense.

Litigation Contingencies
The Company is involved in a number of litigation matters and regulatory investigations. Given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, it is difficult to estimate the impact on the Company’s annual consolidated net income or cash flows. Liabilities are established when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs are recognized as incurred. On an annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to liabilities for litigation, regulatory investigations and litigation-related contingencies to be reflected on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid securities and other investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Securities included within cash equivalents are stated at estimated fair value, while other investments included within cash equivalents are stated at amortized cost which approximates estimated fair value.
Other Revenues
Other revenues include fees on reinsurance financing agreements and fees associated with certain stable value products. Such fees are recognized in the period in which services are performed.
Policyholder Dividends
Policyholder dividends are approved annually by MTL’s board of Directors. The aggregate amount of policyholder dividends is related to actual interest, mortality, morbidity and expense experience for the year, as well as management’s judgment as to the appropriate level of statutory surplus to be retained by MTL.
Foreign Currency
Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, including the effect of re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars are reported as part of net investment gains (losses) in the period in which they occur.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s president, who assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that is also reported on the consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets.
Premiums, universal life and investment-type product policy fees and other revenues from the U.K. were $1.8 billion, $1.1 billion and $796 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 derived from three customers for pension risk transfers were $2.3 billion, $699 million and $531 million, which represented 48%, 14% and 11%, respectively, of consolidated premiums, universal life and investment-type product policy fees and other revenues.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 derived from three customers for pension risk transfers were $1.5 billion, $1.1 billion and $821 million, which represented 22%, 16 and 12%, respectively, of consolidated premiums, universal life and investment-type product policy fees and other revenues.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 derived from two customers for pension risk transfers were $1.6 billion and $694 million, which represented 26% and 11%, respectively, of consolidated premiums, universal life and investment-type product policy fees and other revenues. Revenues derived from any other customer did not exceed 10% of consolidated premiums, universal life and investment-type product policy fees and other revenues for the years ended December 31,2024, 2023 or 2022.

2. Future Policy Benefits (continued)
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the net effect of changes in cash flow assumptions was primarily driven by updates in assumptions related to mortality.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the net effect of actual variances from expected experience was primarily driven by model refinements.
When single premium annuity contracts are issued, the FPB reserve is required to be measured at an upper-medium grade discount rate. Due to differences between the upper-medium grade discount rate and pricing assumptions used to determine the contractual premium, the initial FPB reserve at issue for a particular cohort may be greater than the contractual premium received, and the difference must be recognized as an immediate loss at issue. On these cohorts, future experience that differs from expected experience and changes in cash flow assumptions result in the recognition of remeasurement gains and losses with net remeasurement gains limited to the amount of the original loss at issue, after which any favorable experience is deferred and recorded within the DPL. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a loss at issue of $129 million. The loss at issue was largely offset by a deferred gain on ceded reinsurance, which will be amortized over the life of the reinsurance agreement. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a net remeasurement gain related to the net effect of changes in cash flow assumptions.
Significant Methodologies and Assumptions
The principal inputs used in the establishment of the FPB for the Company’s annuity products include actual premiums, actual benefits, in-force data, locked-in claim-related expense, the locked-in interest accretion rate, the current upper-medium grade discount rate at the balance sheet date and best estimate mortality assumptions.
Rollforward - Additional Insurance Liabilities
The Company establishes additional insurance liabilities for annuitization, death or other insurance benefits for universal life contract features where the Company guarantees to the contractholder either a secondary guarantee or a guaranteed paid-up benefit. The policy can remain in force, even if the base policy account value is zero, as long as contractual secondary guarantee requirements have been met.
The following information about the direct liability for additional insurance liabilities includes a disaggregated rollforward. The products grouped within the rollforward were selected based upon common characteristics and valuations using similar inputs, judgments, assumptions and methodologies. The adjusted balance in the disaggregated rollforward reflects the remeasurement (gains) losses. All amounts presented in the rollforward and accompanying financial information do not include a reduction for amounts ceded to reinsurers. See Note 6 for further information regarding the impact of reinsurance on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated statements of operations.

Significant Methodologies and Assumptions
Liabilities for ULSG and paid-up guarantees are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits payable when the account balance is projected to be zero and recognizing those benefits ratably over the life of the contract based on total expected assessments.
The guaranteed benefits are estimated over a range of scenarios. The significant assumptions used in estimating the ULSG and paid-up guarantee liabilities are investment income, mortality, lapses, and premium payment pattern and persistency. In addition, projected earned rate and crediting rates are used to project the account values and excess death benefits and assessments. The discount rate is equal to the crediting rate for each annual cohort and is locked-in at inception.
The Company’s gross premiums or assessments and interest expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for long-duration contracts, excluding participating life contracts, were as follows:

Separate account assets consist of investment accounts established and maintained by the Company. The investment objectives of these assets are directed by the contractholder. An equivalent amount is reported as separate account liabilities. These accounts are reported separately from the general account assets and liabilities.
Separate account assets and liabilities include two categories of account types: pass-through separate accounts totaling $7.6 billion and $6.1 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for which the contractholder assumes all investment risk, and separate accounts for which the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the contractholder which totaled $806 million and $484 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The latter category consisted primarily of company- and bank-owned life insurance. The average interest rate credited on these contracts was 5.7% and 6.1% at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

_________________
(1)Includes DAC balances primarily related to participating life and annuities products.
(2)Includes activity for total DAC ceded at the date of inception related to a reinsurance agreement. See Note 6 for further information on the transaction.
Significant Methodologies and Assumptions
The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to long-duration contracts over the estimated lives of the contracts in proportion to benefits in-force for annuities and policy count for all other products. The amortization amount is calculated using the same cohorts as the corresponding liabilities on a quarterly basis, using an amortization rate that includes current period reporting experience and end of period persistency and longevity assumptions that are consistent with those used to measure the corresponding liabilities.
The Company amortizes DAC for short-duration contracts, which is primarily comprised of commissions and certain underwriting expenses, in proportion to actual and future earned premium over the applicable contract term.
6. Reinsurance
The Company enters into reinsurance agreements as a purchaser of reinsurance for certain insurance products and also as a provider of reinsurance for some pension products and insurance products issued by affiliated and nonaffiliated companies. The Company purchases reinsurance in order to limit losses and minimize exposure to significant risks and provide additional capacity for future growth.
Accounting for reinsurance requires extensive use of assumptions and estimates, particularly related to the future performance of the underlying business and the potential impact of counterparty credit risks. The Company periodically reviews actual and anticipated experience compared to the aforementioned assumptions used to establish assets and liabilities relating to ceded and assumed reinsurance and evaluates the financial strength of counterparties to its reinsurance agreements using criteria similar to that evaluated in the security impairment process discussed in “— Fixed Maturity Securities AFS — Evaluation of Fixed Maturity Securities AFS for Credit Loss” in Note 7.

6. Reinsurance (continued)
For its individual life insurance products, the Company has historically reinsured the mortality risk, primarily on an excess of retention or quota share basis. In addition to reinsuring mortality risk as described above, the Company reinsures other risks, as well as specific coverages. Placement of reinsurance is done primarily on an automatic basis and also on a facultative basis for risks with specified characteristics. The Company also reinsures portions of certain level premium term and universal life policies with secondary death benefit guarantees to a nonaffiliate. In 2023, the Company reinsured an in-force block of universal life, variable universal life, universal life with secondary guarantees and fixed annuities to a nonaffiliate on a 100% quota share basis.
The Company has reinsured certain of its annuity and supplementary contract business to an affiliate. The Company also reinsures certain group annuity contracts issued in connection with pension risk transfers to affiliates and a nonaffiliate.
The Company assumes portions of certain whole life policies issued by an affiliate and a nonaffiliate. In addition, the Company also assumes longevity risks for certain pension products issued by unaffiliated providers located in the U.K.
The Company uses excess of retention and quota share reinsurance agreements to provide greater diversification of risk and minimize exposure to larger risks. Excess of retention reinsurance agreements provide for a portion of a risk to remain with the direct writing company and quota share reinsurance agreements provide for the direct writing company to transfer a fixed percentage of all risks of a class of policies.
The Company reinsures its remaining business through a diversified group of well-capitalized reinsurers. The Company analyzes recent trends in arbitration and litigation outcomes in disputes, if any, with its reinsurers. The Company monitors ratings and evaluates the financial strength of its reinsurers by analyzing their financial statements. In addition, the reinsurance recoverable balance due from each reinsurer is evaluated as part of the overall monitoring process. Recoverability of reinsurance recoverable balances is evaluated based on these analyses. These reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance, which at both December 31, 2024 and 2023, were not significant. The Company also secured collateral from its counterparties to mitigate counterparty default risk related to its longevity reinsurance agreements.
The Company has secured certain reinsurance recoverable balances with various forms of collateral, including secured trusts and funds withheld accounts. The Company had $1.9 billion of unsecured unaffiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at both December 31, 2024 and 2023.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had $7.2 billion of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables. Of this total, $6.9 billion, or 96%, were with the Company’s five largest unaffiliated ceded reinsurers, including $1.5 billion of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables which were unsecured. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $5.7 billion of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables. Of this total, $5.4 billion, or 95%, were with the Company’s five largest unaffiliated ceded reinsurers, including $1.5 billion of net unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverables which were unsecured.

Reinsurance agreements that do not expose the Company to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk are recorded using the deposit method of accounting. Included in premium, reinsurance and other receivables in the table above are deposit assets on reinsurance of $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were no deposit liabilities on reinsurance at both December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company has an agreement to cede certain group annuity contracts issued in connection with a qualifying pension risk transfer on a facultative modified coinsurance basis to a nonaffiliate. Effective June 2024, the Company ceded an additional quota share of liabilities associated with certain group annuity contracts issued by the Company in connection with qualifying pension risk transfer transactions. The significant reinsurance effects to the Company were primarily increases in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables of $2.0 billion and other liabilities of $2.2 billion at December 31, 2024.
In November 2023, the Company completed a risk transfer transaction with a subsidiary of Global Atlantic Financial Group, a retirement and life insurance company, to reinsure an in-force block of universal life, variable universal life, universal life with secondary guarantees, and fixed annuities. The Company entered into a reinsurance agreement on a coinsurance basis for the general account products and on a modified coinsurance basis for the separate account products. The Company recorded reinsurance recoverables and deposit receivables of $2.9 billion at December 31, 2023 reported in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. At inception of the agreement, in addition to recording the amount recoverable, the Company i) transferred to the reinsurer $2.3 billion of assets primarily consisting of fixed maturity securities AFS and mortgage loans supporting the general account liabilities reduced by a $479 million pre-tax ceding commission, ii) retained $408 million separate account assets under the modified coinsurance arrangement and iii) recorded the net cost of reinsurance of $529 million within other liabilities, related to universal life, variable universal life and universal life with secondary guarantees reinsured. The net cost of reinsurance will be amortized on a basis consistent with the methodologies and assumptions used for amortizing DAC related to the underlying reinsured contracts in policyholder benefits and claims.
As part of this transaction, an affiliate entered into investment advisory and other agreements with a subsidiary of Global Atlantic Financial Group to serve as the investment manager for certain of the transferred general account assets. With certain exceptions, the agreements contemplate a term of five years.

Investment Risks and Uncertainties
Investments are exposed to the following primary sources of risk: credit, interest rate, liquidity, market valuation, currency and real estate risk. The financial statement risks, stemming from such investment risks, are those associated with the determination of estimated fair values, the diminished ability to sell certain investments in times of strained market conditions, the recognition of ACL and impairments, the recognition of income on certain investments and the potential consolidation of VIEs. The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs relating to these financial statement risks may have a material effect on the amounts presented within the consolidated financial statements.
The determination of ACL and impairments is highly subjective and is based upon quarterly evaluations and assessments of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Such evaluations and assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available.
The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g. structured securities, including mortgage-backed securities, ABS & CLO, certain structured investment transactions and FVO securities) is dependent upon certain factors such as prepayments and defaults, and changes in such factors could result in changes in amounts to be earned.

Methodology for Amortization of Premium and Accretion of Discount on Structured Products
Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on Structured Products considers the estimated timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying loans. Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between the originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. Prepayment assumptions for Structured Products are estimated using inputs obtained from third-party specialists and based on management’s knowledge of the current market. For credit-sensitive and certain prepayment-sensitive Structured Products, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other Structured Products, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis.
Maturities of Fixed Maturity Securities AFS
The amortized cost, net of ACL, and estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities AFS, by contractual maturity date, were as follows at December 31, 2024:

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to the exercise of call or prepayment options. Fixed maturity securities AFS not due at a single maturity date have been presented in the year of final contractual maturity. Structured Products are shown separately, as they are not due at a single maturity.

Evaluation of Fixed Maturity Securities AFS for Credit Loss
Evaluation and Measurement Methodologies
Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in management’s evaluation of the security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Considerations used in the credit loss evaluation process include, but are not limited to: (i) the extent to which the estimated fair value has been below amortized cost, (ii) adverse conditions specifically related to a security, an industry sector or sub-sector, or an economically depressed geographic area, adverse change in the financial condition of the issuer of the security, changes in technology, discontinuance of a segment of the business that may affect future earnings, and changes in the quality of credit enhancement, (iii) payment structure of the security and likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments, (iv) failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest and principal payments, (v) whether the issuer, or series of issuers or an industry has suffered a catastrophic loss or has exhausted natural resources, (vi) whether the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell, including transfers in connection with reinsurance transactions, a particular security before the decline in estimated fair value below amortized cost recovers, (vii) with respect to Structured Products, changes in forecasted cash flows after considering the changes in the financial condition of the underlying loan obligors and quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security, (viii) changes in the rating of the security by a rating agency, and (ix) other subjective factors, including concentrations and information obtained from regulators.

(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements — (continued)
7. Investments (continued)
The methodology and significant inputs used to determine the amount of credit loss are as follows:
The Company calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the present value of future cash flows. The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the security at the time of purchase for fixed-rate securities and the spot rate at the date of evaluation of credit loss for floating-rate securities.
When determining collectability and the period over which value is expected to recover, the Company applies considerations utilized in its overall credit loss evaluation process which incorporates information regarding the specific security, fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the security issuer operates, and overall macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using assumptions derived from management’s single best estimate, the most likely outcome in a range of possible outcomes, after giving consideration to a variety of variables that include, but are not limited to: payment terms of the security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the interest and principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security’s position within the capital structure of the issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; any private and public sector programs to restructure foreign government securities and municipals; and changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies.
Additional considerations are made when assessing the features that apply to certain Structured Products including, but not limited to: the quality of underlying collateral, historical performance of the underlying loan obligors, historical rent and vacancy levels, changes in the financial condition of the underlying loan obligors, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of the underlying loans or assets backing a particular security, changes in the quality of credit enhancement and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security.
With respect to securities that have attributes of debt and equity (“perpetual hybrid securities”), consideration is given in the credit loss analysis as to whether there has been any deterioration in the credit of the issuer and the likelihood of recovery in value of the securities that are in a severe unrealized loss position. Consideration is also given as to whether any perpetual hybrid securities with an unrealized loss, regardless of credit rating, have deferred any dividend payments.
In periods subsequent to the recognition of an initial ACL on a security, the Company reassesses credit loss quarterly. Subsequent increases or decreases in the expected cash flow from the security result in corresponding decreases or increases in the ACL which are recognized in earnings and reported within net investment gains (losses); however, the previously recorded ACL is not reduced to an amount below zero. Full or partial write-offs are deducted from the ACL in the period the security, or a portion thereof, is considered uncollectible. Recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded to the ACL in the period received. When the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, any ACL is written off and the amortized cost is written down to estimated fair value through a charge within net investment gains (losses), which becomes the new amortized cost of the security.
Evaluation of Fixed Maturity Securities AFS in an Unrealized Loss Position
Gross unrealized losses on securities without an ACL increased $516 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $3.6 billion primarily due to an increase in interest rates and the impact of weakening foreign currencies on certain non-functional currency denominated fixed maturity securities.
As shown in the table above, most of the gross unrealized losses on securities without an ACL that have been in a continuous gross unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater at December 31, 2024 relate to investment grade securities. These unrealized losses are principally due to narrowing credit spreads since purchase and, with respect to fixed-rate securities, rising interest rates since purchase.
As of December 31, 2024, $39 million of gross unrealized losses on securities without an ACL that have been in a continuous gross unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater on below investment grade securities were concentrated in the consumer, utility and finance sectors within corporate securities and in ABS & CLO securities. These unrealized losses are the result of significantly wider credit spreads resulting from higher risk premiums since purchase, largely due to economic and market uncertainty and, with respect to fixed-rate securities, rising interest rates since purchase.

At December 31, 2024, the Company did not intend to sell its securities in an unrealized loss position without an ACL, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost. Therefore, the Company concluded that these securities had not incurred a credit loss and should not have an ACL at December 31, 2024.
Future provisions for credit loss will depend primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including changes in the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected), changes in credit ratings and collateral valuation.

ACL Methodology
The Company records an allowance for expected lifetime credit loss in earnings within net investment gains (losses) in an amount that represents the portion of the amortized cost basis of mortgage loans that the Company does not expect to collect, resulting in mortgage loans being presented at the net amount expected to be collected. In determining the Company’s ACL, management applies significant judgment to estimate expected lifetime credit loss, including: (i) pooling mortgage loans that share similar risk characteristics, (ii) considering expected lifetime credit loss over the contractual term of its mortgage loans adjusted for expected prepayments and any extensions, and (iii) considering past events and current and forecasted economic conditions. Each of the Company’s commercial, agricultural and residential mortgage loan portfolio segments are evaluated separately. The ACL is calculated for each mortgage loan portfolio segment based on inputs unique to each loan portfolio segment. On a quarterly basis, mortgage loans within a portfolio segment that share similar risk characteristics, such as internal risk ratings or consumer credit scores, are pooled for calculation of ACL. On an ongoing basis, mortgage loans with dissimilar risk characteristics (i.e., loans with significant declines in credit quality), such as collateral dependent mortgage loans (i.e., when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, including when foreclosure is reasonably possible or probable), are evaluated individually for credit loss. The ACL for loans evaluated individually are established using the same methodologies for all three portfolio segments. For example, the ACL for a collateral dependent loan is established as the excess of amortized cost over the estimated fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral, less selling cost when foreclosure is probable. Accordingly, the change in the estimated fair value of collateral dependent loans, which are evaluated individually for credit loss, is recorded as a change in the ACL which is recorded on a quarterly basis as a charge or credit to earnings in net investment gains (losses).

Commercial and Agricultural Mortgage Loan Portfolio Segments
Within each loan portfolio segment, commercial and agricultural loans are pooled by internal risk rating. Estimated lifetime loss rates, which vary by internal risk rating, are applied to the amortized cost of each loan, excluding accrued investment income, on a quarterly basis to develop the ACL. Internal risk ratings are based on an assessment of the loan’s credit quality, which can change over time. The estimated lifetime loss rates are based on several loan portfolio segment-specific factors, including (i) the Company’s experience with defaults and loss severity, (ii) expected default and loss severity over the forecast period, (iii) current and forecasted economic conditions including growth, inflation, interest rates and unemployment levels, (iv) loan specific characteristics including loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios, and (v) internal risk ratings. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. The Company uses its several decades of historical default and loss severity experience which capture multiple economic cycles. The Company uses a forecast of economic assumptions for a two-year period for most of its commercial and agricultural mortgage loans, while a one-year period is used for loans originated in certain markets. After the applicable forecast period, the Company reverts to its historical loss experience using a straight-line basis over two years. For evaluations of commercial mortgage loans, in addition to historical experience, management considers factors that include the impact of a rapid change to the economy, which may not be reflected in the loan portfolio, recent loss and recovery trend experience as compared to historical loss and recovery experience, and loan specific characteristics including debt service coverage ratios (“DSCR”). In estimating expected lifetime credit loss over the term of its commercial mortgage loans, the Company adjusts for expected prepayment and extension experience during the forecast period using historical prepayment and extension experience considering the expected position in the economic cycle and the loan profile (i.e., floating rate, shorter-term fixed rate and longer-term fixed rate) and after the forecast period using long-term historical prepayment experience. For evaluations of agricultural mortgage loans, in addition to historical experience, management considers factors that include increased stress in certain sectors, which may be evidenced by higher delinquency rates, or a change in the number of higher risk loans. In estimating expected lifetime credit loss over the term of its agricultural mortgage loans, the Company’s experience is much less sensitive to the position in the economic cycle and by loan profile; accordingly, historical prepayment experience is used, while extension terms are not prevalent with the Company’s agricultural mortgage loans.
Commercial mortgage loans are reviewed on an ongoing basis, which review includes, but is not limited to, an analysis of the property financial statements and rent roll, lease rollover analysis, property inspections, market analysis, estimated valuations of the underlying collateral, LTV ratios, DSCR and tenant creditworthiness. The monitoring process focuses on higher risk loans, which include those that are classified as restructured, delinquent or in foreclosure, as well as loans with higher LTV ratios and lower DSCR. Agricultural mortgage loans are reviewed on an ongoing basis, which review includes, but is not limited to, property inspections, market analysis, estimated valuations of the underlying collateral, LTV ratios and borrower creditworthiness, as well as reviews on a geographic and property-type basis. The monitoring process for agricultural mortgage loans also focuses on higher risk loans.
For commercial mortgage loans, the primary credit quality indicator is the DSCR, which compares a property’s net operating income to amounts needed to service the principal and interest due under the loan. Generally, the lower the DSCR, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The Company also reviews the LTV ratio of its commercial mortgage loan portfolio. LTV ratios compare the unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Generally, the higher the LTV ratio, the higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The DSCR and the values utilized in calculating the ratio are updated routinely. In addition, the LTV ratio is routinely updated for all but the lowest risk loans as part of the Company’s ongoing review of its commercial mortgage loan portfolio.
For agricultural mortgage loans, the Company’s primary credit quality indicator is the LTV ratio. The values utilized in calculating this ratio are developed in connection with the ongoing review of the agricultural mortgage loan portfolio and are routinely updated.
After commercial and agricultural mortgage loans are approved, the Company makes commitments to lend and, typically, borrowers draw down on some or all of the commitments. The timing of mortgage loan funding is based on the commitment expiration dates. A liability for credit loss for unfunded commercial and agricultural mortgage loan commitments that is not unconditionally cancellable is recognized in earnings and is reported within net investment gains (losses). The liability is based on estimated lifetime loss rates as described above and the amount of the outstanding

commitments, which for lines of credit, considers estimated utilization rates. When the commitment is funded or expires, the liability is adjusted accordingly.
Residential Mortgage Loan Portfolio Segment
The Company’s residential mortgage loan portfolio is comprised primarily of purchased closed end, amortizing residential mortgage loans, including both performing loans purchased within 12 months of origination and reperforming loans purchased after they have been performing for at least 12 months post-modification. Residential mortgage loans are pooled by loan type (i.e., new origination and reperforming) and pooled by similar risk profiles (including consumer credit score and LTV ratios). Estimated lifetime loss rates, which vary by loan type and risk profile, are applied to the amortized cost of each loan excluding accrued investment income on a quarterly basis to develop the ACL. The estimated lifetime loss rates are based on several factors, including (i) industry historical experience and expected results over the forecast period for defaults, (ii) loss severity, (iii) prepayment rates, (iv) current and forecasted economic conditions including growth, inflation, interest rates and unemployment levels, and (v) loan pool specific characteristics including consumer credit scores, LTV ratios, payment history and home prices. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. The Company uses industry historical experience which captures multiple economic cycles as the Company has purchased most of its residential mortgage loans in the last five years. The Company uses a forecast of economic assumptions for a two-year period for most of its residential mortgage loans. After the applicable forecast period, the Company reverts to industry historical loss experience using a straight-line basis over one year.
For residential mortgage loans, the Company’s primary credit quality indicator is whether the loan is performing or nonperforming. The Company generally defines nonperforming residential mortgage loans as those that are 60 or more days past due and/or in nonaccrual status which is assessed monthly. Generally, nonperforming residential mortgage loans have a higher risk of experiencing a credit loss.
Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company may modify mortgage loans to borrowers. Each mortgage loan modification is evaluated to determine whether the borrower was experiencing financial difficulties. Disclosed below are those modifications, in materially impacted mortgage segments, where the borrower was determined to be experiencing financial difficulties and the mortgage loans were modified by any of the following means: principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, other-than-insignificant payment delay or term extension. The amount, timing and extent of modifications granted and subsequent performance are considered in determining any ACL recorded.
These mortgage loan modifications are summarized as follows:

Leased Real Estate Investments - Operating Leases
The Company, as lessor, leases investment real estate through a variety of operating lease arrangements, which typically include tenant reimbursement for property operating costs and options to renew or extend the lease. The Company has elected a practical expedient of not separating non-lease components related to reimbursement of property operating costs from associated lease components. These property operating costs have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the related lease component, because they are incurred over the same period of time as the operating lease. Therefore, the combined component is accounted for as a single operating lease. Leased real estate investments and income earned, by property type, were as follows at and for the periods indicated:

Collectively Significant Equity Method Investments
The Company held equity method investments of $2.0 billion at December 31, 2024, comprised primarily of OLPI (private equity funds and hedge funds) and REJV (including real estate funds). The Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to these equity method investments was limited to the carrying value of these investments plus $582 million of unfunded commitments at December 31, 2024.
As described in Note 1, 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. Aggregate net investment income from these equity method investments exceeded 10% of the Company’s consolidated pre-tax income (loss) for two of the three most recent annual periods: 2024 and 2022.
The following aggregated summarized financial data reflects the latest available financial information and does not represent the Company’s proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, or earnings of such entities.
Aggregate total assets of these entities totaled $575.3 billion and $558.3 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Aggregate total liabilities of these entities totaled $59.2 billion and $61.2 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Aggregate net income (loss) of these entities totaled $33.3 billion, $13.5 billion and $5.4 billion for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Aggregate net income (loss) from the underlying entities in which the Company invests is primarily comprised of investment income, including recurring investment income (loss) and realized and unrealized investment gains (losses).
Variable Interest Entities
The Company has invested in legal entities that are VIEs. In certain instances, the Company holds both the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity, as well as an economic interest in the entity and, as such, is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or consolidator of the entity. The determination of the VIE’s primary beneficiary requires an evaluation of the contractual and implied rights and obligations associated with each party’s relationship with or involvement in the entity. There were no VIEs for which the Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary and which are consolidated at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Unconsolidated VIEs

8. Derivatives (continued)
Derivatives are financial instruments with values derived from interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit spreads and/or other financial indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Certain of the Company’s OTC derivatives are cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties (“OTC-cleared”), while others are bilateral contracts between two counterparties (“OTC-bilateral”). The types of derivatives the Company uses include swaps, forwards, futures and option contracts. To a lesser extent, the Company uses credit default swaps to synthetically replicate investment risks and returns which are not readily available in the cash markets.
Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company uses a variety of interest rate derivatives to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps, caps, floors, swaptions and futures.
Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). In an interest rate swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps in fair value, cash flow and nonqualifying hedging relationships.
The Company purchases interest rate caps primarily to protect its floating rate liabilities against rises in interest rates above a specified level, and against interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities, and interest rate floors primarily to protect its minimum rate guarantee liabilities against declines in interest rates below a specified level. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of existing purchased caps and floors by entering into offsetting written caps and floors. The Company utilizes interest rate caps and floors in nonqualifying hedging relationships.
In exchange-traded interest rate (Treasury and swap) futures transactions, the Company agrees to purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the value of which is determined by the different classes of interest rate securities, to post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily market values of those contracts and to pledge initial margin based on futures exchange requirements. The Company enters into exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission merchants that are members of the exchange. Exchange-traded interest rate (Treasury and swap) futures are used primarily to hedge (i) mismatches between the duration of assets in a portfolio and the duration of liabilities supported by those assets, (ii) against changes in value of securities the Company owns or anticipates acquiring, and (iii) against changes in interest rates on anticipated liability issuances by replicating Treasury or swap curve performance. The Company utilizes exchange-traded interest rate futures in nonqualifying hedging relationships.
Swaptions are used by the Company to hedge interest rate risk associated with the Company’s long-term liabilities and invested assets. A swaption is an option to enter into a swap with a forward starting effective date. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of existing purchased swaptions by entering into offsetting written swaptions. The Company pays a premium for purchased swaptions and receives a premium for written swaptions. In certain instances, the Company may enter into a combination of transactions to hedge changes in interest rates within a pre-determined range through the purchase and sale of options. The Company utilizes swaptions in nonqualifying hedging relationships. Swaptions are included in interest rate options.
Synthetic GICs are contracts that simulate the performance of traditional GICs through the use of financial instruments. The contractholder owns the underlying assets, and the Company provides a guarantee (or “wrap”) on the participant funds for an annual risk charge. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on synthetic GICs is the notional amount, in the event the values of all of the underlying assets were reduced to zero. The Company’s risk is substantially lower due to contractual provisions that limit the portfolio to high quality assets, which are pre-approved and monitored for compliance, as well as the collection of risk charges. In addition, the crediting rates reset periodically to amortize market value gains and losses over a period equal to the duration of the wrapped portfolio, subject to a 0% floor. While plan participants may transact at book value, contractholder withdrawals may only occur immediately at market value, or at book value paid over a period of time per contract provisions. Synthetic GICs are not designated as hedging instruments.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Derivatives
The Company uses foreign currency exchange rate derivatives, including foreign currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to reduce the risk from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets denominated in foreign currencies.
In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between one currency and another at a fixed exchange rate, generally set at inception, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by each party. The Company utilizes foreign currency swaps in fair value, cash flow and nonqualifying hedging relationships.
In a foreign currency forward transaction, the Company agrees with another party to deliver a specified amount of an identified currency at a specified future date. The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is made at the specified future date. The Company utilizes foreign currency forwards in nonqualifying hedging relationships.
Credit Derivatives
The Company enters into purchased credit default swaps to hedge against credit-related changes in the value of its investments. In a credit default swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to pay, at specified intervals, a premium to hedge credit risk. If a credit event occurs, as defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or it may be settled gross by the delivery of par quantities of the referenced investment equal to the specified swap notional amount in exchange for the payment of cash amounts by the counterparty equal to the par value of the investment surrendered. Credit events vary by type of issuer but typically include bankruptcy, failure to pay debt obligations and involuntary restructuring for corporate obligors, as well as repudiation, moratorium or governmental intervention for sovereign obligors. In each case, payout on a credit default swap is triggered only after the relevant third party, Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee determines that a credit event has occurred. The Company utilizes credit default swaps in nonqualifying hedging relationships.
The Company enters into written credit default swaps to synthetically create credit investments that are either more expensive to acquire or otherwise unavailable in the cash markets. These transactions are a combination of a derivative and one or more cash instruments, such as U.S. government and agency, or other fixed maturity securities AFS. These credit default swaps are not designated as hedging instruments.
Equity Derivatives
The Company uses equity index options primarily to hedge against changes in equity indices. The Company enters into contracts to sell the underlying equity index within a limited time at a contracted price. The contracts will be net settled in cash based on differentials in the indices at the time of exercise and the strike price. Certain of these contracts may also contain settlement provisions linked to interest rates. In certain instances, the Company may enter into a combination of transactions to hedge changes in equity indices within a pre-determined range through the purchase and sale of options. The Company utilizes equity index options in nonqualifying hedging relationships.
Other Derivatives
Longevity swaps are used by the Company primarily to mitigate risks associated with life expectancy and unanticipated changes in mortality rates. The Company utilizes longevity swaps in nonqualifying hedging relationships.

The Company has elected to record changes in estimated fair value of excluded components in earnings. All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company designates and accounts for the following as cash flow hedges when they have met the requirements of cash flow hedging: (i) interest rate swaps to convert floating rate assets to fixed rate assets and (ii) foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash flow exposure of foreign currency denominated assets.
In certain instances, the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting because the forecasted transactions were no longer probable of occurring. Because certain of the forecasted transactions also were not probable of occurring within two months of the anticipated date, the Company reclassified amounts from AOCI into income. These amounts were $5 million, $4 million and $8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
There were no hedged forecasted transactions, other than the receipt or payment of variable interest payments, at both December 31, 2024 and 2023.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance in AOCI associated with cash flow hedges was $275 million and $132 million, respectively.
All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
At December 31, 2024, the Company expected to reclassify $72 million of deferred net gains (losses) on derivatives in AOCI, to earnings within the next 12 months.
Credit Derivatives
In connection with synthetically created credit investment transactions, the Company writes credit default swaps for which it receives a premium to insure credit risk. Such credit derivatives are included within the effects of derivatives on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) table. If a credit event occurs, as defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or it may be settled gross by the Company paying the counterparty the specified swap notional amount in exchange for the delivery of par quantities of the referenced credit obligation. The Company can terminate these contracts at any time through cash settlement with the counterparty at an amount equal to the then current estimated fair value of the credit default swaps.

Credit Risk on Freestanding Derivatives
The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties to derivatives. Generally, the current credit exposure of the Company’s derivatives is limited to the net positive estimated fair value of derivatives at the reporting date after taking into consideration the existence of master netting or similar agreements and any collateral received pursuant to such agreements.
The Company manages its credit risk related to derivatives by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties in jurisdictions in which it understands that close-out netting should be enforceable and establishing and monitoring exposure limits. The Company’s OTC-bilateral derivative transactions are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements which provide for legally enforceable set-off and close-out netting of exposures to specific counterparties in the event of early termination of a transaction, which includes, but is not limited to, events of default and bankruptcy. In the event of an early termination, close-out netting permits the Company (subject to financial regulations such as the Orderly Liquidation Authority under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) to set off receivables from the counterparty against payables to the same counterparty arising out of all included transactions and to apply collateral to the obligations without application of the automatic stay, upon the counterparty’s bankruptcy. All of the Company’s International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex provisions which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its OTC-bilateral derivatives as required by applicable law. Additionally, the Company is required to pledge initial margin for certain new OTC-bilateral derivative transactions to third party custodians.
The Company’s OTC-cleared derivatives are effected through central clearing counterparties and its exchange-traded derivatives are effected through regulated exchanges. Such positions are marked to market and margined on a daily basis (both initial margin and variation margin), and the Company has minimal exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by brokers and central clearinghouses to such derivatives.

an estimated fair value of $90 million and $36 million, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, and $9 million and $6 million, respectively, for its OTC-cleared derivatives.
The Company’s collateral arrangements for its OTC-bilateral derivatives generally require the counterparty in a net liability position, after considering the effect of netting agreements, to pledge collateral when the collateral amount owed by that counterparty reaches a minimum transfer amount. The Company’s netting agreements for derivatives generally contain provisions that require the counterparty (or its guarantor, if applicable) to maintain specified minimum credit ratings above investment grade level from Moody’s, S&P or both. In those agreements, if the credit rating of the counterparty (or its guarantor, if applicable) were to fall below the applicable minimum rating, that counterparty would be in violation of these provisions, and the Company could terminate the transactions and demand immediate settlement and payment based on reasonable valuation of the derivatives. A significant portion of the Company’s netting agreements for derivatives grant similar rights to the counterparty to terminate the transactions and demand immediate settlement and payment if the Company’s financial strength rating were to fall below specified minimum levels above investment grade.
The following table presents the estimated fair value of the Company’s OTC-bilateral derivatives that were in a net liability position after considering the effect of netting agreements, together with the estimated fair value and balance sheet location of the collateral pledged.

9. Fair Value
When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad valuation approaches: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation approach to use, given what is being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs, giving priority to observable inputs. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value into a three-level hierarchy, based on the significant input with the lowest level in its valuation. The input levels are as follows:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company defines active markets based on average trading volume for equity securities. The size of the bid/ask spread is used as an indicator of market activity for fixed maturity securities AFS.
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs can 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 significant 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 determination of estimated fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Financial markets are susceptible to severe events evidenced by rapid depreciation in asset values accompanied by a reduction in asset liquidity. The Company’s ability to sell securities, as well as the price ultimately realized for these securities, depends upon the demand and liquidity in the market and increases the use of judgment in determining the estimated fair value of certain securities.
Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting the market data used to develop estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Investments
Securities, Short-term Investments and Other Investments
When available, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. Generally, these are the most liquid of the Company’s securities holdings and valuation of these securities does not involve management’s judgment.
When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination of estimated fair value of securities is based on market standard valuation methodologies, giving priority to observable inputs. The significant inputs to the market standard valuation methodologies for certain types of securities with reasonable levels of price transparency are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. When observable inputs are not available, the market standard valuation methodologies rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These unobservable inputs can be based, in large part, on management’s judgment or estimation and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Unobservable inputs are based on management’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing such investments.
The estimated fair value of short-term investments and other investments is determined on a basis consistent with the methodologies described herein.
The valuation approaches and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are classified within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are presented below. The primary valuation approaches are the market approach, which considers recent prices from market transactions involving identical or similar assets or liabilities, and the income approach, which converts expected future amounts (e.g., cash flows) to a single current, discounted amount. The valuation of most instruments listed below is determined using independent pricing sources, matrix pricing, discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques that use either observable market inputs or unobservable inputs.

Key Input:

______________
(1)Estimated fair value equals carrying value, based on the value of the underlying assets, including: mutual fund interests, fixed maturity securities, equity securities, derivatives, hedge funds, short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents. The estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities, equity securities, derivatives, short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents is determined on a basis consistent with the assets described under “— Securities, Short-term Investments and Other Investments” and “— Derivatives — Freestanding Derivatives.”
Derivatives
The estimated fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives, or through the use of pricing models for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives. The determination of estimated fair value, when quoted market values are not available, is based on market standard valuation methodologies and inputs that management believes are consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments. Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, default risk, nonperformance risk, volatility, liquidity and changes in estimates and assumptions used in the pricing models.
The significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. With respect to certain OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives, management may rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These unobservable inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation. Unobservable inputs are based on management’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing such derivatives.
Most inputs for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are mid-market inputs but, in certain cases, liquidity adjustments are made when they are deemed more representative of exit value. Market liquidity, as well as the use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs, may have a material effect on the estimated fair values of the Company’s derivatives and could materially affect net income.

9. Fair Value (continued)
The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company is considered in determining the estimated fair value for all OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives, and any potential credit adjustment is based on the net exposure by counterparty after taking into account the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements. The Company values its OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives using standard swap curves which may include a spread to the risk-free rate, depending upon specific collateral arrangements. This credit spread is appropriate for those parties that execute trades at pricing levels consistent with similar collateral arrangements. As the Company and its significant derivative counterparties generally execute trades at such pricing levels and hold sufficient collateral, additional credit risk adjustments are not currently required in the valuation process. The Company’s ability to consistently execute at such pricing levels is, in part, due to the netting agreements and collateral arrangements that are in place with all of its significant derivative counterparties. An evaluation of the requirement to make additional credit risk adjustments is performed by the Company each reporting period.
Freestanding Derivatives
Level 2 Valuation Approaches and Key Inputs:
This level includes all types of derivatives utilized by the Company.
Freestanding derivatives are principally valued using the income approach. Valuations of non-option-based derivatives utilize present value techniques, whereas valuations of option-based derivatives utilize option pricing models. Key inputs are as follows:
Instrument Interest Rate Foreign Currency
Exchange Rate
Credit
Inputs common to Level 2 by instrument type
swap yield curves
swap yield curves
swap yield curves
basis curves
basis curves
credit curves
interest rate volatility (1)
currency spot rates
recovery rates

cross currency basis curves
______________
(1)Option-based only.
Embedded Derivatives
Embedded derivatives are primarily included within funds withheld on ceded reinsurance agreements. Embedded derivatives are recorded at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value reported in net income.
The estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives within funds withheld related to certain ceded reinsurance is determined based on the change in estimated fair value of the underlying assets held by the Company in a reference portfolio backing the funds withheld liability. The estimated fair value of the underlying assets is determined as described in “— Investments — Securities, Short-term Investments and Other Investments.” The estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives is included, along with their funds withheld hosts, in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in estimated fair value recorded in net derivative gains (losses). Changes in the credit spreads on the underlying assets, interest rates and market volatility may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives that could materially affect net income.
Transfers between Levels
Overall, transfers between levels occur when there are changes in the observability of inputs and market activity.
Transfers into or out of Level 3:
Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable.

(4)Range and weighted average are presented in accordance with the market convention for fixed maturity securities AFS of dollars per hundred dollars of par.
(5)Changes in the assumptions used for the probability of default would have been accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used for prepayment rates.
Generally, all other classes of assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 that are not included above use the same valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs as previously described for Level 3. The sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in the significant unobservable inputs for these other assets and liabilities is similar in nature to that described in the preceding table. The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for the more significant assets measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis and determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are summarized in “— Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements.”

Statutory Equity and Income
MTL prepares statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Nebraska Department of Insurance. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) has adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (“Statutory Codification”). Statutory Codification is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting principles continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices. Modifications by the state insurance department may impact the effect of Statutory Codification on the statutory capital and surplus of MTL.
The state of domicile of MTL imposes risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements that were developed by the NAIC. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of a company’s total adjusted capital, calculated in the manner prescribed by the NAIC (“TAC”), with modifications by the state insurance department, to its authorized control level RBC, calculated in the manner prescribed by the NAIC (“authorized control level RBC”), based on the statutory-based financial statements. Companies below specific trigger levels or ratios are classified by their respective levels, each of which requires specified corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before corrective action commences is twice authorized control level RBC (“Company Action Level RBC”). The Company Action Level RBC ratios for MTL were in excess of 370% and in excess of 410% at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Statutory accounting principles differ from GAAP primarily by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing FPBs using different actuarial assumptions, reporting surplus notes as surplus instead of debt and valuing securities on a different basis.
In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting principles and are charged directly to surplus. The most significant assets not admitted by MTL are net deferred income tax assets resulting from temporary differences between statutory accounting principles basis and tax basis not expected to reverse and become recoverable within three years. Further, statutory accounting principles do not give recognition to purchase accounting adjustments.
For private placement variable life insurance stable value wrap reserves, under NAIC SAP, reserves are computed under the NAIC model standard valuation. For Domiciliary SAP, private placement variable life insurance stable value wrap reserves are computed in accordance with a permitted practice approved by the Department. The impact of the permitted accounting practice increased the statutory capital and surplus of MTL by $8 million and $10 million on December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, compared to what capital and surplus would have been had it been measured under NAIC guidance.
Statutory net income (loss) of MTL, a Nebraska domiciled insurer, was $361 million, $411 million, and $232 million at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $2.2 billion and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. All such amounts are derived from the statutory–basis financial statements as filed with the Nebraska Department of Insurance.
Dividend Restrictions
Under the Nebraska Insurance Code, MTL is permitted, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay a stockholder dividend to MetLife, Inc. as long as the amount of the dividend, when aggregated with all other dividends in the preceding 12 months, does not exceed the greater of: (i) 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year, or (ii) its statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year (excluding realized capital gains), not including pro rata distributions of MTL’s own securities. MTL will be permitted to pay a dividend to MetLife, Inc. in excess of the greater of such two amounts only if it files notice of the declaration of such a dividend and the amount thereof with the Director of the Nebraska Department of Insurance (the “Nebraska Director”) and the Nebraska Director either approves the distribution of the dividend or does not disapprove the dividend within 30 days of its filing. In addition, any dividend that exceeds earned surplus (defined as “unassigned funds (surplus)” excluding unrealized capital gains) as of the immediately preceding calendar year requires insurance regulatory approval. Under the Nebraska Insurance Code, the Nebraska Director has broad discretion in determining whether the financial condition of a stock life insurance company would support the payment of such dividends to its stockholders.
MTL paid $373 million and $189 million in dividends to MetLife, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, including amounts where regulatory approval was obtained as required. Under Nebraska Insurance Code, MTL

Contingencies
Litigation
Various litigation, claims or assessments against the Company may arise in the course of the Company’s business. Further, state insurance regulatory and other federal and state authorities may make inquiries and conduct investigations concerning the Company’s compliance with applicable insurance and other laws and regulations.
It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending investigations and legal proceedings. It is possible in certain cases that an adverse outcome could have a material effect upon the Company’s financial position.

Pitt v. Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company, et al. (S.D. Cal., filed April 10, 2020)
In this case initially filed as a putative class action, plaintiff alleges that the Company failed to comply with California statutes regarding lapse notice requirements for life insurance policies issued or delivered in the state. She seeks to represent a class of all past, present, and future owners and beneficiaries of the Company’s individual life insurance policies in force on or after January 1, 2013 and governed by the relevant California statutes, where the policies underwent or will undergo lapse, termination, and/or reinstatement without the Company providing written notice of an actual 60-day grace period, a 30-day notice of impending lapse and termination, and/or an annual notice of a right to designate at least one other person to receive lapse-related communications. Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, and other relief. The Court denied Plaintiff’s motion to certify the class and subsequently dismissed her individual claim. Plaintiff has appealed the dismissal of her claims but not the denial of class certification. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals certified to the California Supreme Court the key question on appeal of whether the California lapse statutes apply to plaintiff’s policy, which was issued and delivered in Ohio.
Insolvency Assessments
Many jurisdictions in which the Company is admitted to transact business require insurers doing business within the jurisdiction to participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed insurers or those that may become impaired, insolvent or fail. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member insurers in a particular jurisdiction on the basis of the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer engaged. In addition, certain jurisdictions have government owned or controlled organizations providing life, health and property and casualty insurance to their citizens, whose activities could place additional stress on the adequacy of guaranty fund assessments. Many of these organizations have the power to levy assessments similar to those of the guaranty associations. Some jurisdictions permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets.
