    February 25, 2026 by F&G Annuities & Life, Inc.

    DES MOINES, IowaFeb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. (NYSE: FG) (F&G or the Company) a leading provider of insurance solutions serving retail annuity and life customers and institutional clients, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

    Net earnings attributable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter were $124 million, or $0.92 per diluted share (per share), compared to $323 million, or $2.50 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Full year net earnings attributable to common shareholders were $248 million, or $1.88 per share, compared to $622 million, or $4.88 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net earnings or losses attributable to common shareholders include mark-to-market effects and non-recurring items; all of which are excluded from adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders.

    Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders (adjusted net earnings) for the fourth quarter were $123 million, or $0.91 per share, compared to $143 million, or $1.12 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. Full year adjusted net earnings were $482 million, or $3.64 per share, compared to $546 million, or $4.30 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted net earnings include significant income and expense items, as well as investment income from alternative investments below management’s long-term expected return. Please see the “Fourth Quarter 2025 Results”, “Full Year 2025 Results” and “Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information” sections for further explanation.

    Company Highlights

    • Generated record assets under management: F&G achieved record assets under management before flow reinsurance of $73.1 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 12% over year-end 2024. This included retained AUM of $57.6 billion. F&G’s gross sales were $14.6 billion for the full year 2025, including $3.4 billion in the fourth quarter
    • Excellent credit performance in the investment portfolio: The investment portfolio is performing well, with 97% of fixed maturities being investment grade. It is well matched to our liability profile and diversified across asset types. Credit-related impairments have remained low and stable, averaging 6 basis points over the past five years and significantly below pricing assumptions
    • Reported adjusted return on assets (ROA) and adjusted return on equity (ROE) ex AOCI include short-term fluctuations in investment income from alternative investments: Adjusted ROA was 87 basis points for the fourth quarter, in line with the sequential quarter, and reflects asset growth, growing fees from accretive flow reinsurance, steady owned distribution margin, and operating expense discipline driving scale benefit; adjusted ROE excluding AOCI was 8.2% for the fourth quarter
    • Continued progress toward our Investor Day targets: We have made strong progress toward the medium-term targets set out at our 2023 Investor Day
    • Continued focus on organic growth and return of capital to shareholders: F&G returned $137 million of capital to shareholders from common and preferred dividends during the full year 2025, including $38 million in the fourth quarter
    • Strong solvency position and announcement of the strategic sale of our Bermuda subsidiary: Estimated risk-based capital (RBC) ratio for our primary operating subsidiary of approximately 430% as of December 31, 2025, above our 400% target; reflects partial recapture of inforce block and dividend of assets from our Bermuda legal entity, F&G Life Re Ltd, at year-end; we are on track to close a transaction in the first quarter of 2026 to sell this Bermuda legal entity, including the remaining inforce block, as we no longer need a Bermuda operation to support our reinsurance strategy
    • Completed planned distribution of approximately 12% of FNF’s ownership of F&G to FNF shareholders: On December 31, 2025, FNF completed the distribution to FNF’s shareholders of approximately 16 million shares of F&G common stock owned by FNF. Following the distribution of approximately 12% of the outstanding common shares of F&G’s common stock to FNF shareholders, FNF retains control of F&G through an approximate 70% equity ownership stake

    Chris Blunt, F&G’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered a strong finish to an outstanding year, highlighted by record assets under management before flow reinsurance of $73 billion fueled by $14.6 billion of gross sales in full year 2025, including $9 billion of gross sales in our core products – indexed annuities, indexed universal life and pension risk transfer. Our high quality, diversified investment portfolio continues to perform extremely well with credit-related impairments remaining stable and below our expectations.”

    Mr. Blunt continued, “We are executing on our strategy toward a more fee-based, higher margin and less capital intensive business model to drive long-term growth. We took action to improve our operating expense ratio by 10 basis points as compared to year end 2024 and we have strengthened our capital position, augmented by the launch of our reinsurance sidecar. At the end of the year, we expanded our public float to 30% to enhance market liquidity and broaden investor access to the stock. Looking ahead to 2026, we remain focused on continuing to grow our core business and delivering long-term shareholder value.”

    Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

    Record AUM before flow reinsurance was $73.1 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 12% over $65.3 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.  This included record AUM of $57.6 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 7% over $53.8 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.  A rollforward of AUM can be found in the “Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information” section of this release.

    Gross sales were $3.4 billion for the fourth quarter, slightly below $3.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024, and were driven by favorable market conditions and strong demand for retirement savings products.

    Core sales were $2.8 billion for the fourth quarter, in line with the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting higher indexed annuity and indexed universal life sales; partially offset by lower pension risk transfer sales.

    Opportunistic sales were $0.6 billion for the fourth quarter, comprised of $0.4 billion of multiyear guaranteed annuities and $0.2 of funding agreements, in line with the fourth quarter of 2024 which was comprised of multiyear guaranteed annuities. Opportunistic volumes vary quarter to quarter depending on economics and market opportunity.

    Net sales were $2.3 billion for the fourth quarter, down slightly from the fourth quarter of 2024; this reflects flow reinsurance at varying ceded amounts in line with capital targets for multiyear guaranteed annuities and fixed indexed annuities.

    Adjusted net earnings were $123 million, or $0.91 per share, compared to $143 million, or $1.12 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024.  Adjusted net earnings include significant income and expense items and alternative investment portfolio returns from short-term mark-to-market movement that differ from long-term return expectations.

    • Adjusted net earnings were $123 million, or $0.91 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2025. Investment income from alternative investments was $65 million, or $0.47 per share, below management’s long-term expected return of approximately 10%
    • Adjusted net earnings of $143 million, or $1.12 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024 included income from $7 million, or $0.05 per share, of actuarial model refinements and other items. Investment income from alternative investments was $32 million, or $0.25 per share, below management’s long-term expected return of approximately 10%

    As compared to the prior year quarter and excluding the above items, adjusted net earnings reflect asset growth, growing fees from accretive flow reinsurance, steady owned distribution margin and disciplined expense management driving scale benefit; partially offset by higher interest expense on debt.

    1The starting balance for 4Q25 and FY2025 is September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively

    F&G has returned capital to shareholders through common and preferred dividends of $137 million for the full year, including $38 million in the fourth quarter.

    The Company continues to have a strong and stable capital position with an estimated statutory company action level risk-based capital (RBC) ratio for our primary operating subsidiary of approximately 430% as of December 31, 2025, above our 400% target.  At year end, F&G’s Iowa operating company has recaptured approximately $900 million of the affiliated statutory liabilities from Bermuda-based F&G Life Re Ltd and received a $200 million dividend of assets.  This action was taken in preparation for the planned sale of F&G Life Re Ltd as we no longer need a Bermuda operation to support our reinsurance strategy. We expect to close the sale of the F&G Life Re Ltd legal entity to Ancient Financial Holdings LP, on March 1, 2026, which will include the remaining inforce block of approximately $1.9 billion.

    F&G maintains strong capitalization and financial flexibility across all of our statutory balance sheets, including our offshore entities, which are conservatively managed to the most stringent capital requirements of our regulators and four rating agencies.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

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

    DEFINITIONS

                 
                   

    The following represents the definitions of non-GAAP measures used by F&G:

     

    Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to common shareholders

                   

    Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders is a non-GAAP economic measure we use to evaluate financial performance each period. Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders is calculated by adjusting net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders to eliminate:

    (i)   Recognized (gains) and losses, net: the impact of net investment gains/losses, including changes in allowance for expected credit losses and other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses, recognized in operations; and the effects of changes in fair value of the reinsurance related embedded derivative and other derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forwards;

    (ii)   Market related liability adjustments: the impacts related to changes in the fair value, including both realized and unrealized gains and losses, of index product related derivatives and embedded derivatives, net of hedging cost; the impact of initial pension risk transfer deferred profit liability losses, including amortization from previously deferred pension risk transfer deferred profit liability losses; and the changes in the fair value of market risk benefits by deferring current period changes and amortizing that amount over the life of the market risk benefit;

    (iii)  Purchase price amortization: the impacts related to the amortization of certain intangibles (internally developed software, trademarks and value of distribution asset and the change in fair value of liabilities recognized as a result of acquisition activities);

    (iv)  Transaction costs: the impacts related to acquisition, integration and merger related items;

    (v)  Other and “non-recurring,” “infrequent” or “unusual items”: Other adjustments include removing any charges associated with U.S. guaranty fund assessments as these charges neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company’s business nor reflect the Company’s underlying business performance, but result from external situations not controlled by the Company. Further, Management excludes certain items determined to be “non-recurring,” “infrequent” or “unusual” from adjusted net earnings when incurred if it is determined these expenses are not a reflection of the core business and when the nature of the item is such that it is not reasonably likely to recur within two years and/or there was not a similar item in the preceding two years;

    (vi)  Non-controlling interest on non-GAAP adjustments: the portion of the non-GAAP adjustments attributable to the equity interest of entities that F&G does not wholly own; and

    (vii)  Income taxes: the income tax impact related to the above-mentioned adjustments is measured using an effective tax rate, as appropriate by tax jurisdiction.

                   

    While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of F&G, market conditions and/or the non-operating nature of these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the core business. Accordingly, management considers this to be a useful measure internally and to investors and analysts in analyzing the trends of our operations. Adjusted net earnings should not be used as a substitute for net earnings (loss). However, we believe the adjustments made to net earnings (loss) in order to derive adjusted net earnings provide an understanding of our overall results of operations.

     

    Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding

                   

    Adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding is the same as weighted average diluted shares outstanding except for periods in which our preferred stocks are calculated to be dilutive to either net earnings attributable to common shareholders or adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders, but not both, or there is a net earnings loss attributable to common shareholders on a GAAP basis, but positive adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders using the non-GAAP measure. The above exceptions are made to include relevant diluted shares when dilution occurs and exclude relevant diluted shares when dilution does not occur for adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders.

                   

    Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders.

                   

    Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to common shareholders per Diluted Share

                   

    Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders per diluted share is calculated as adjusted net earnings plus preferred stock dividend (if the preferred stock has created dilution). This sum is then divided by the adjusted weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

                   

    Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders.

                   

    Adjusted Return on Assets attributable to Common Shareholders

                   

    Adjusted return on assets attributable to common shareholders is calculated by dividing year-to-date annualized adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders by year-to-date AAUM.  Return on assets is comprised of net investment income, less cost of funds, flow reinsurance fee income, owned distribution margin and less expenses (including operating expenses, interest expense and income taxes) consistent with our adjusted net earnings definition and related adjustments. Cost of funds includes liability costs related to cost of crediting as well as other liability costs. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing financial performance and profitability earned on AAUM.

                   

    Adjusted Return on Average Common Shareholder Equity, excluding AOCI

                   

    Adjusted return on average common shareholder equity is calculated by dividing the rolling four quarters adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders, by total average F&G equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI.  Average equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI for the twelve month rolling period is the average of 5 points throughout the period. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be a useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level return driven by the Company’s adjusted earnings.

                   

    Assets Under Management (AUM)

     

    AUM is comprised of the following components and is reported net of reinsurance assets ceded in accordance with GAAP:

    (i) total invested assets at amortized cost, excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates, owned distribution and derivatives;

    (ii) investments in unconsolidated affiliates at carrying value;

    (iii) related party loans and investments;

    (iv) accrued investment income;

    (v) the net payable/receivable for the purchase/sale of investments; and

    (vi) cash and cash equivalents excluding derivative collateral at the end of the period.

                   

    Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the size of our investment portfolio that is retained.

                   

    AUM before Flow Reinsurance

                   

    AUM before Flow Reinsurance is comprised of AUM plus flow reinsured assets, including certain block reinsured assets that have the characteristics of flow reinsured assets.

                   

    Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the size of our investment portfolio including reinsured assets.

                   

    Average Assets Under Management (AAUM) (Quarterly and YTD)

                   

    AAUM is calculated as AUM at the beginning of the period and the end of each month in the period, divided by the total number of months in the period plus one. 

                   

    Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the rate of return on retained assets.

                   

    Book Value per Common Share, excluding AOCI

                   

    Book value per Common share, excluding AOCI is calculated as total F&G equity attributable to common shareholders divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Management considers this to be a useful measure internally and for investors and analysts to assess the capital position of the Company.

                   

    Debt-to-Capitalization Ratio, excluding AOCI

                   

    Debt-to-capitalization ratio is computed by dividing total aggregate principal amount of debt by total capitalization (total debt plus total equity, excluding AOCI). Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing its capital position.

                   

    Return on Average F&G common shareholder Equity, excluding AOCI

                   

    Return on average F&G common shareholder equity, excluding AOCI  is calculated by dividing the rolling four quarters net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders, by total average F&G equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI. Average F&G equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI for the twelve month rolling period is the average of 5 points throughout the period. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders.

                   

    Sales

                   

    Annuity, IUL, funding agreement and non-life contingent PRT sales are not derived from any specific GAAP income statement accounts or line items and should not be viewed as a substitute for any financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Sales from these products are recorded as deposit liabilities (i.e., contractholder funds) within the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Life contingent PRT sales are recorded as premiums in revenues within the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that presentation of sales, as measured for management purposes, enhances the understanding of our business and helps depict longer term trends that may not be apparent in the results of operations due to the timing of sales and revenue recognition.

                   

    Total Capitalization, excluding AOCI

                   

    Total capitalization, excluding AOCI is based on total equity excluding the effect of AOCI and the total aggregate principal amount of debt.  Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to provide useful supplemental information internally and to investors and analysts to help assess the capital position of the Company.

                   

    Total Equity, excluding AOCI

     

    Total equity, excluding AOCI is based on total equity excluding the effect of AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to provide useful supplemental information internally and to investors and analysts assessing the level of earned equity on total equity.

                   

    Total F&G Equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI

                   

    Total F&G equity attributable to common shareholder, excluding AOCI is based on total F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. shareholders’ equity excluding the effect of AOCI and preferred stocks, including additional paid-in-capital. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders.
