How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

F&G's highlighted increase in common equity excluding AOCI was $712 million from June 30, 2026, driven primarily by $652 million of favorable market-related liability adjustments, including a $297 million actuarial reserve release after its annual assumption review.

Key Terms

mark-to-market, aoci, non-gaap financial measures, fixed indexed annuities

4 terms

mark-to-market financial

"net favorable mark-to-market effects"

"Mark-to-market" is a method of valuing assets or investments based on their current market price, rather than their original cost or value. It helps investors see the most up-to-date worth of their holdings, much like checking the latest price of a stock before deciding to buy or sell. This approach ensures that financial statements reflect real-time value, providing a clearer picture of overall financial health.

aoci financial

"excluding AOCI"

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) is a section of owners’ equity that records certain unrealized gains and losses that aren’t shown in the company’s regular profit and loss statement—things like currency translation shifts, changes in the value of certain investments, or pension plan adjustments. Think of it as a separate holding jar for value swings the company hasn’t cashed in yet; investors watch it because large or volatile balances can change reported net worth and signal future earnings or balance-sheet risk when those items are realized.

non-gaap financial measures financial

"this presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures"

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

fixed indexed annuities financial

"flow reinsurance in line with capital targets for multiyear guaranteed annuities and fixed indexed annuities"

A fixed indexed annuity is an insurance contract that pays you regular income later in life while protecting your original money from market losses; it ties interest credited to the performance of a stock market index but typically guarantees a minimum return so you won’t lose principal if the index falls. Think of it as a savings plan that offers a safety net like an insurance policy with some upside linked to market gains, which matters to investors seeking steady, protected income but willing to accept limited growth and possible withdrawal limits or fees.

Company Highlights

• Record assets under management before reinsurance driven by record core retail sales: F&G achieved assets under management before reinsurance of $76.2 billion as of September 30, 2026, an increase of 7% over the third quarter of 2025.

• Continued excellent credit performance in our high quality asset portfolio: The retained 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 continuing below pricing assumptions through the first nine months of 2026
• Substantial growth in common equity and book value per common share, excluding AOCI: Total F&G equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI, was $6.7 billion, or $51.37 per share, as of September 30, 2026. This reflects an increase of $712 million, or $5.44 per share, as compared with June 30, 2026, primarily driven by $652 million of favorable market related liability adjustments, including $297 million of actuarial reserve release following the annual assumption review
• Solid balance sheet supports both organic growth and return of capital to shareholders: F&G returned $37 million of capital to shareholders from common and preferred dividends in the third quarter. This brought the first nine months of 2026 capital returned to shareholders to $232 million, through $112 million of dividends and $120 million of share repurchases

Conor Murphy, F&G's Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "F&G continued to build momentum in the third quarter, with record core retail sales driving assets under management before reinsurance to a record $76.2 billion. Importantly, we are generating this growth while maintaining our disciplined approach to pricing and profitability, prioritizing business that meets our return targets and allocating capital to the most attractive opportunities. Our diversified distribution platform and growing core retail franchise provide us with significant opportunities to continue scaling the business while maintaining our focus on profitability and returns."

Mr. Murphy continued, "We also continue to make meaningful progress toward a more fee-based, higher margin and less capital intensive business while growing our core spread-based franchise. Our strong inforce book provides a stable foundation of earnings and capital generation, while our strategic reinsurance relationships and owned distribution platform provide additional sources of fee-based earnings and financial flexibility. Together, these capabilities give us multiple avenues to grow earnings and improve returns as we continue to scale the business."

Third Quarter 2026 Results

Record AUM before reinsurance was $76.2 billion as of September 30, 2026, an increase of 7% over $71.4 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025. This included retained AUM of $56.2 billion as of September 30, 2026. A rollforward of AUM can be found in the "Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information" section of this release.

Gross sales were $3.0 billion for the third quarter, comprised of $2.3 billion core sales and nearly $700 million opportunistic sales, compared with $4.2 billion for the third quarter of 2025, comprised of $2.2 billion core sales and a record $2.0 billion opportunistic sales; reflects our commitment to manage growth for the long-term.

Core sales were $2.3 billion for the third quarter; reflects a record $2.1 billion of core retail (indexed annuities and indexed universal life) sales and steady momentum with $200 million of core institutional (pension risk transfer) sales.

Opportunistic sales were nearly $700 million for the third quarter, primarily comprised of funding agreements, compared to a record $2.0 billion in the third quarter of 2025, split between multiyear guaranteed annuities and funding agreements. Over the past year, we have de-emphasized multiyear guaranteed annuities sales due to returns below our threshold, as we maintain pricing discipline and prioritize capital allocation to the highest return opportunities. Opportunistic volumes vary quarter to quarter depending on economics and market opportunity.

Net sales were $1.4 billion for the third quarter, compared with $2.8 billion for the third quarter of 2025; reflects flow reinsurance in line with capital targets for multiyear guaranteed annuities and fixed indexed annuities.

Adjusted net earnings were $96 million, or $0.74 per share, for the third quarter, compared with $165 million, or $1.22 per share, for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted net earnings include alternative investment portfolio short-term returns that differ from long-term return expectations.

1 See definition of non-GAAP measures below

• Adjusted net earnings were $96 million, or $0.74 per share, for the third quarter of 2026. Investment income from alternative investments was $60 million, or $0.46 per share, below management's current long-term expected return of approximately 12%
• Adjusted net earnings of $165 million, or $1.22 per share, for the third quarter of 2025 included income from $10 million, or $0.07 per share, tax valuation allowance benefit and $4 million, or $0.03 per share, of actuarial reserve release. Investment income from alternative investments was $53 million, or $0.38 per share, below management's long-term expected return
• As compared with the prior year quarter and excluding the above items, adjusted net earnings reflect consistent core spread as the business maintained disciplined pricing. Total product margin was reduced after reflecting the F&G Life Re (Bermuda) sale, as well as lower surrender charge fee income and higher other liability costs that include increased amortization expense, as expected. These items were partially offset by steady fees from accretive flow reinsurance and owned distribution margin, and disciplined expense management which continued to drive scale benefit

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.

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.

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 (ANE) is a non-GAAP economic measure used to evaluate financial performance each period.

ANE eliminates the impact of specific items that are not indicative of the underlying economics of our business, including certain market volatility, asymmetrical and noneconomic accounting, non-recurring items and other income and expense adjustments. These items are volatile in our reported GAAP earnings and are not indicative of the underlying profitability drivers reflected in the design and pricing of our products and/or our investment and hedging strategy, as such items fluctuate from period to period in a manner inconsistent with these drivers.

ANE provides information to enhance an investor's understanding of our results and underlying profitability drivers by removing the impact of short-term market volatility (i.e. recognized gains and losses, market risk benefits remeasurement gains and losses, derivative gains and losses), asymmetrical and non-economic accounting (i.e. derivatives and investment hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting, deferred pension risk transfer deferred profit liability losses), and other adjustments.

ANE is calculated by adjusting net earnings or 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 actuarial assumption updates and other refinements on the change in fair value of embedded derivatives and market risk benefits; 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 items 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;
(vii)    Certain income tax adjustments: the impacts related to unusual tax items that do not reflect our core operating performance such as the establishment or reversal of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances; and
(viii)    Income taxes: the income tax impact related to the above-mentioned adjustments is measured using an effective tax rate, as appropriate by tax jurisdiction.

Recognized gains and losses are excluded from ANE as part of both adjustments (i) and (ii). As part of those two adjustments to ANE, all material recognized gains and losses are removed except for periodic settlements of interest rate swaps used to economically hedge our floating rate investments.

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 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 Reinsurance

AUM before Reinsurance is comprised of AUM plus flow reinsured assets, including certain block 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.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What were F&G's third-quarter 2026 earnings?

F&G reported $736 million in net earnings attributable to common shareholders, or $5.48 per diluted share, compared with $114 million, or $0.85, a year earlier. Adjusted net earnings were $96 million, or $0.74 per share, versus $165 million, or $1.22.

Why did F&G reduce multiyear guaranteed annuity sales?

F&G said it de-emphasized multiyear guaranteed annuity sales over the past year because returns were below its threshold, while maintaining pricing discipline and prioritizing higher-return capital opportunities. Opportunistic sales totaled nearly $700 million in the third quarter, primarily funding agreements.

What drove F&G's common equity increase excluding accumulated comprehensive income and loss?

The increase from June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by $652 million of favorable market-related liability adjustments, including $297 million of actuarial reserve releases following the annual assumption review. Common equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income and loss reached $6.7 billion at September 30, 2026.

What affected the comparison with F&G's third-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings?

Third-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings included a $10 million tax valuation allowance benefit and a $4 million actuarial reserve release. Alternative investment income in that quarter was $53 million, or $0.38 per share, below management's long-term expected return.
