[8-K] Equitable Holdings, Inc. Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Equitable Holdings (EQH) announced changes to how it reports its business segments following the July 31, 2025 closing of its reinsurance Transaction with RGA Reinsurance Company. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the company will combine its Individual Retirement and Group Retirement segments into a single Retirement segment and move its legacy business and life insurance business (previously in Protection Solutions) into Corporate and Other.

Equitable furnished an updated Financial Supplement (Exhibit 99.1) for the period ended June 30, 2025 with recast historical segment results and GAAP reconciliations. The changes affect only segment presentation and have no impact on previously reported Consolidated Financial Statements. The company cautions that recast audited financial statements may differ, perhaps materially, from Exhibit 99.1. An investor presentation (Exhibit 99.2) outlining key impacts is also furnished and will be available on October 22, 2025. The materials are furnished under Regulation FD and are not deemed filed.

Re-segmentation tied to RGA deal; reporting only, no change to consolidated results.

Equitable Holdings is revising its segment reporting after the July 31, 2025 Transaction close. Two retirement lines are consolidated into a single Retirement segment, while legacy and life insurance move to Corporate and Other. This is a presentation update, not an operational reset disclosed here.

The company furnished a Financial Supplement through June 30, 2025 with recast history and GAAP reconciliations, and notes that recast audited statements may differ, perhaps materially. Consolidated financial statements already reported are unaffected by this change in presentation.

An investor deck highlights the areas of impact and is available on October 22, 2025. Actual implications for trend analysis depend on how items migrate between segments; subsequent audited recasts will clarify comparability.

Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously reported by Equitable Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 31, 2025, the transactions (the “Transaction”) contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2025 (the “Agreement”), by and among Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company, Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company of America, and Equitable Financial Life and Annuity Corporation (together, the “Ceding Companies”) and RGA Reinsurance Company, closed on July 31, 2025 (the “Closing”). As a result of the Closing, the Company announced that, retrospectively, beginning in the third quarter of 2025, it is making certain changes to its segment reporting to (1) combine its Individual Retirement and Group Retirement segments into one reporting segment, to be called Retirement, and (2) report its legacy business—and its life insurance business, which was previously reported in the Protection Solutions segment—in the Corporate and Other segment.

Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K contains an updated Financial Supplement for the period ended June 30, 2025, which provides recast historical segment financial results. The changes in the segment structure affect only the manner in which the results for the Company’s operating segments were previously reported. The historical segment information provided under the new segment structure has no other impact on the Company’s previously reported Consolidated Financial Statements. The Financial Supplement also includes reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

These results are being provided prior to the availability of the audited financial statements to assist investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating the changes to our reportable segments. The Financial Supplement is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s financial position or results of operations as of and for the periods presented. It is possible that the recast audited financial statements may differ, perhaps materially, from the information included in Exhibit 99.1.

To facilitate our investors’ ability to evaluate the changes resulting from our re-segmentation, the Company has prepared a presentation, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 which outlines the key areas of impact. This presentation will be made available to investors on October 22, 2025, on our website, http://ir.equitableholdings.com.

The information in this Item (including Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2) shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth in such a filing.
