10-Q
KKR & Co. Inc. reports first-quarter 2026 results showing higher revenue but lower overall profit. Total revenues rose to $4,317,983 thousand from $3,110,183 thousand a year earlier, driven by both asset management and insurance operations.
Net income attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. was $405,229 thousand, compared with a loss of $185,924 thousand in the prior-year quarter, with common stockholders’ net income of $364,799 thousand, or $0.41 basic and $0.38 diluted per share. However, consolidated net income declined to $277,505 thousand as more earnings were attributed to KKR & Co. Inc. rather than noncontrolling interests.
The insurance segment generated strong investment income but recorded net investment-related losses of $652,697 thousand, while the asset management and strategic holdings segment saw net losses from investment activities of $316,379 thousand after large unrealized declines. Comprehensive income attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. turned to a loss of $142,566 thousand, mainly due to $715,547 thousand of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

Insights
Revenue grew and KKR’s own earnings improved, but investment losses and OCI dragged down overall performance.
KKR reported total revenues of $4,317,983 thousand for Q1 2026, up from $3,110,183 thousand. Asset management fees and insurance investment income supported the top line, while capital allocation-based income fell versus the prior year.
Consolidated net income dropped to $277,505 thousand from $684,498 thousand, yet net income attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. improved to $405,229 thousand as less profit was allocated to noncontrolling interests. Common EPS turned positive at $0.41 basic after a loss a year earlier.
Both the asset management and insurance segments posted sizeable investment-related losses, including $316,379 thousand of net losses from investment activities and $652,697 thousand of net investment-related losses in insurance. Unrealized declines on available-for-sale securities drove a comprehensive loss attributable to KKR of $142,566 thousand, highlighting sensitivity to market marks this quarter.

Fee Related Earnings (FRE) financial
"non-GAAP and segment measures and performance metrics, including assets under management (“AUM”), fee paying assets under management (“FPAUM”), Adjusted Net Income, Total Operating Earnings, Total Segment Earnings, Fee Related Earnings ("FRE"), Insurance Operating Earnings"
Fee related earnings (FRE) are the portion of a financial firm’s income that comes from regular, predictable fees—such as management, advisory, or subscription charges—rather than one‑off gains, trading profits, or performance-based payments. Investors care because FRE acts like a subscription revenue stream, showing how stable and forecastable a company’s cash flow and valuation are, and helping gauge sensitivity to client outflows or fee pressure.
market risk benefit liabilities financial
"Policy Liabilities (market risk benefit liabilities: $ 1,403,740 and $ 1,349,774 , as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 , respectively.)"
variable interest entities ("VIEs") financial
"The following presents the portion of the consolidated balances ... attributable to consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs")."
allowance for credit losses financial
"The table below presents a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses recognized for fixed maturity securities held by Global Atlantic"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
loan-to-value ratio financial
"The loan-to-value ratio is expressed as a percentage of the current amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying collateral."
The loan-to-value ratio (LTV) measures how large a loan is compared with the worth of the asset used as collateral, expressed as a percentage — for example, a $80,000 loan on a $100,000 property equals an 80% LTV. It matters to investors because higher LTVs mean higher risk of loss if the asset falls in value, and they influence borrowing costs, loan approval, and the stability and pricing of securities backed by such loans; think of it like how deep your financial safety net is under a loan.

do not relate strictly to historical or factual matters. Without limiting the foregoing, forward-looking statements may include
statements regarding KKR’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, including capital invested,
uncalled commitments, cash and short-term investments, and levels of indebtedness; the potential for future business
growth; outstanding shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. and its capital structure; non-GAAP and segment measures and

payment of dividends on capital stock of KKR & Co. Inc.; the timing, manner and volume of repurchase of shares of common
stock of KKR & Co. Inc.; our statements regarding the potential of, and future financial results from, KKR’s Strategic Holdings

operating results, including pending sales of investments; expansion and growth opportunities and other synergies resulting

the Reorganization Agreement entered into on October 8, 2021 by KKR & Co. Inc.; the implementation or execution of, or
results from, any strategic initiatives, including efforts to distribute financial products to individual investors; the modification
of our compensation framework announced on November 29, 2023, which decreased the targeted percentage of
compensation from fee related revenues and increased the targeted percentage from realized carried interest and certain
incentive fees; and our insurance business's strategic initiatives to invest more into non-yielding or lower-yield assets classes
like private equity and real assets, expand outside the United States, and raise more third-party co-investment insurance
capital. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important
factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements or cause the
anticipated benefits and synergies from transactions to not be realized. We believe these factors include those described in
the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (our "Annual
Report"). These factors should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report
and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We do not undertake any obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or
otherwise, except as required by law.
CERTAIN TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT
In this report, references to "KKR," "we," "us," and "our" refer to KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries, including The Global
Atlantic Financial Group LLC ("TGAFG" and, together with its insurance companies and other subsidiaries, "Global Atlantic"),
unless the context requires otherwise.
References to the “Series I preferred stockholder” or “KKR Management” are to KKR Management LLP, the holder of the
sole outstanding share of our Series I preferred stock. KKR Management is owned by our senior employees, including Mr.
Henry Kravis and Mr. George Roberts (our "Co-Founders"). References to “carry pool participants” are to our current and
former employees who hold interests in our “carry pool,” which refers to the carried interest generated by KKR’s business that
is allocated to KKR Associates Holdings L.P. (“Associates Holdings”), in which carry pool participants are limited partners.
Associates Holdings is currently not a subsidiary of KKR & Co. Inc.
KKR Group Partnership L.P. ("KKR Group Partnership") is the intermediate holding company that owns the entirety of
KKR’s business. Unless otherwise indicated, references to equity interests in KKR’s business, or to percentage interests in
KKR’s business, reflect the aggregate equity interests in KKR Group Partnership, and are net of amounts that have been
4
Table of Contents
allocated to carry pool participants and any other holders of minority interests in KKR Group Partnership. References to a
“KKR Group Partnership Unit” refer to one Class A partner interest in KKR Group Partnership for periods on and after January
1, 2020. “Exchangeable securities” refers to securities that have the right to acquire KKR Group Partnership Units and to
exchange them for our shares of common stock. As of the date of this report, our only outstanding exchangeable securities
are (i) restricted holdings units issued through KKR Holdings II L.P. ("KKR Holdings II"), which are issued under the Amended
and Restated KKR & Co. Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Equity Incentive Plan"), and (ii) restricted holdings units
issued through KKR Holdings III L.P. ("KKR Holdings III"), which are not issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. In the
future, we may issue securities other than restricted holdings units that may constitute exchangeable securities.
On October 8, 2021, KKR entered into a Reorganization Agreement (the "Reorganization Agreement") with KKR Holdings
L.P. (“KKR Holdings”), KKR Management, Associates Holdings, and the other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Reorganization
Agreement, the parties agreed to undertake a series of integrated transactions to effect a number of transformative structural
and governance changes, including (a) the acquisition by KKR of KKR Holdings and all of the KKR Group Partnership Units held
by it (which as noted below was completed), (b) the future elimination of voting control by KKR Management and the Series I
preferred stock held by it, (c) the future establishment of voting rights for all common stock on a one vote per share basis,
including with respect to the election of directors, and (d) the future control of the carry pool by KKR. On May 31, 2022, KKR
completed the acquisition of KKR Holdings and the 258.3 million KKR Group Partnership Units held by it, and in exchange KKR
issued and delivered 266.8 million shares of common stock to the limited partners of KKR Holdings. On the "Sunset
Date" (which will occur no later than December 31, 2026), KKR will cancel the Series I preferred stock, establish voting rights
for all common stock on a one vote per share basis, and acquire control of the carry pool. For more information about the
Reorganization Agreement, see Note 1 "Organization" in our financial statements included in this report.
KKR’s asset management business is conducted by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and various other subsidiaries of
KKR & Co. Inc. other than Global Atlantic. KKR’s insurance business is operated by Global Atlantic, in which KKR acquired a
majority controlling interest on February 1, 2021 and of which KKR acquired all the remaining equity interests in Global
Atlantic on January 2, 2024 (the “2024 GA Acquisition”). KJR Management ("KJRM") is a Japanese real estate asset manager,
which KKR acquired on April 28, 2022.
References to our "funds," "vehicles," or "investment vehicles" refer to a wide array of investment funds, vehicles, and
accounts that are advised, managed, or sponsored by one or more subsidiaries of KKR, including collateralized loan obligations
("CLOs"), certain operating companies, and business development companies (each, a "BDC"), unless the context requires
otherwise. These references do not include the investment funds, vehicles, or accounts of any hedge fund partnership or any
other third-party asset manager with which we have formed a strategic partnership or have acquired a minority ownership
interest. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “fund investors” or "investors in our investment vehicles" refers
to the third-party investors in these funds and investment vehicles. References to “strategic investor partnerships” refers to
separately managed accounts with certain investors, which typically have investment periods longer than our traditional
funds and typically provide for investments across different investment strategies. References to “hedge fund partnerships”
refers to strategic partnerships with third-party hedge fund managers in which KKR owns a minority stake.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in this report to our outstanding common stock on a fully exchanged and diluted
basis reflect (i) actual shares of common stock outstanding, (ii) shares of common stock issuable pursuant to equity awards
actually granted pursuant to the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, and (iii) shares of common stock issuable from exchangeable
securities, including vested partnership interests in KKR Holdings III. Our outstanding common stock on a fully exchanged and
diluted basis does not include shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan for
which equity awards have not yet been granted or any shares of common stock into which all outstanding shares of Series D
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible.
In this report, the term "GAAP" refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We
disclose certain financial measures in this report that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in
accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted Net Income, Total Asset Management Segment Revenues, Total Segment Earnings,
Total Investing Earnings, Total Operating Earnings, FRE, and Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings. We believe that providing
these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our GAAP results is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall
performance of KKR's businesses. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for similar
financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution readers that these non-GAAP financial measures may
differ from the calculations of other investment managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures
presented by other investment managers. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, where applicable, are included under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Segment Balance Sheet Measures
—Reconciliations to GAAP Measures." This report also uses the terms AUM, FPAUM, and capital invested. You should note
5
Table of Contents
that our calculations of these and other operating metrics may differ from the calculations of other investment managers and,
as a result, may not be comparable to similar metrics presented by other investment managers. These non-GAAP and
operating metrics are defined in the section "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Key Segment and Non-GAAP Performance Measures—Other Terms and Capital Metrics."
The use of any defined term in this report to mean more than one entity, person, security, or other item collectively is
solely for convenience of reference and in no way implies that such entities, persons, securities, or other items are one
indistinguishable group. For example, notwithstanding the use of the defined terms "KKR," "we" and "our" in this report to
refer to KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries, each subsidiary of KKR & Co. Inc. is a standalone legal entity that is separate and
distinct from KKR & Co. Inc. and any of its other subsidiaries. Any KKR entity (including any Global Atlantic entity) referenced
herein is responsible for its own financial, contractual, and legal obligations. Additionally, references to "including" are for the
purpose of illustration and shall be read to mean "including without limitation" unless the context explicitly requires
otherwise.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION (UNAUDITED)
(CONTINUED)
(Amounts in Thousands)
The following presents the portion of the consolidated balances provided in the consolidated statements of financial
condition attributable to consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs"). As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, KKR's
consolidated VIEs consist primarily of (i) certain collateralized financing entities ("CFEs") including those CFEs holding
collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), (ii) certain investment funds, and (iii) certain VIEs formed by Global Atlantic. The
noteholders, creditors, and equity holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the assets of any other KKR entity.
With respect to consolidated CFEs and certain investment funds, the following assets may only be used to settle
obligations of these consolidated VIEs and the following liabilities are only the obligations of these consolidated VIEs and not
generally to KKR. Additionally, KKR has no right to the benefits from, nor does KKR bear the risks associated with, the assets
held by these VIEs beyond KKR's beneficial interest therein and any income generated from the VIEs. There are neither explicit
arrangements nor does KKR hold implicit variable interests that would require KKR to provide any material ongoing financial
support to the consolidated VIEs, beyond amounts previously committed to them, if any.
With respect to certain other VIEs consolidated by Global Atlantic, Global Atlantic has formed certain VIEs to either (i)
hold investments, including fixed maturity securities, consumer and other loans, renewable energy, transportation, and real
estate, or (ii) to conduct certain reinsurance activities with third party commitments. These VIEs issue beneficial interests
primarily to Global Atlantic’s insurance companies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(All Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data, and Except Where Noted)
1. ORGANIZATION
KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE: KKR), through its subsidiaries (collectively, "KKR"), is a leading global investment firm that offers
alternative asset management as well as capital markets and insurance solutions. KKR aims to generate attractive investment
returns by following a patient and disciplined investment approach, employing world-class people, and supporting growth in
its portfolio companies and communities. KKR sponsors investment funds that invest in private equity, credit, and real assets
and has strategic partners that manage hedge funds. KKR’s insurance subsidiaries offer retirement, life, and reinsurance
products under the management of The Global Atlantic Financial Group LLC ("TGAFG" and, together with its insurance
companies and other subsidiaries, "Global Atlantic").
KKR & Co. Inc. is the parent company of KKR Group Co. Inc., which in turn owns KKR Group Holdings Corp., which is the
general partner of KKR Group Partnership L.P. ("KKR Group Partnership"). KKR & Co. Inc. both indirectly controls KKR Group
Partnership and indirectly holds Class A partner interests in KKR Group Partnership ("KKR Group Partnership Units")
representing economic interests in KKR's business. As of March 31, 2026, KKR & Co. Inc. held indirectly approximately 98.8 %
of the KKR Group Partnership Units. The remaining balance is held indirectly by KKR current and former employees through
restricted holdings units representing an ownership interest in KKR Group Partnership Units, which may be exchanged for
shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. ("exchangeable securities"). As limited partner interests, these KKR Group
Partnership Units are non-voting and do not entitle anyone other than KKR to manage its business and affairs. KKR Group
Partnership also has outstanding limited partner interests that provide for a carry pool provided by KKR Associates Holdings
L.P. ("Associates Holdings") and outstanding preferred units with economic terms that mirror the KKR & Co. Inc. 6.25 % Series
D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock”).
In this report, references to "KKR," refer to KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Global Atlantic, unless the context
requires otherwise, especially in sections where "KKR" is intended to refer to the asset management and strategic holdings
businesses only. References to our "funds," "vehicles" or "investment vehicles" refer to a wide array of investment funds,
vehicles, and accounts that are advised, managed or sponsored by one or more subsidiaries of KKR, including collateralized
loan obligations ("CLOs"), certain operating companies and business development companies ("BDCs"), unless the context
requires otherwise.
Reorganization Agreement
On October 8, 2021, KKR entered into a Reorganization Agreement (the "Reorganization Agreement") with KKR Holdings
L.P. ("KKR Holdings"), KKR Management LLP (which holds the sole outstanding share of Series I preferred stock), Associates
Holdings, and the other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the parties agreed to undertake a series
of integrated transactions to effect a number of transformative structural and governance changes, some of which were
completed on May 31, 2022, and other changes to be completed in the future. On May 31, 2022, KKR completed the merger
transactions ("Reorganization Mergers") contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement pursuant to which KKR acquired KKR
Holdings (which changed its name to KKR Group Holdings L.P.) and all of the KKR Group Partnership Units held by it.
Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, the following transactions will occur in the future on the Sunset Date (as
defined below):
i.the control of KKR & Co. Inc. by KKR Management LLP and the Series I Preferred Stock held by it will be eliminated,
ii.the voting rights for all common stock of KKR & Co. Inc., including with respect to the election of directors, will be
established on a one vote per share basis, and
iii.KKR will acquire control of Associates Holdings, the entity providing for the allocation of carry proceeds to KKR
employees, also known as the carry pool.
The “Sunset Date” will be the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 and (ii) the six-month anniversary of the first date on which
the death or permanent disability of both Mr. Henry Kravis and Mr. George Roberts (collectively, "Co-Founders") has occurred
(or any earlier date consented to by KKR Management LLP in its sole discretion). In addition, KKR Management LLP agreed not

to transfer its ownership of the sole share of Series I Preferred Stock, and, the changes to occur effective on the Sunset Date
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of KKR & Co. Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions
to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements (referred to hereafter as the
"financial statements"), including these notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial
statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) such that
the financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing the financial statements are reasonable
and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2025
were derived from audited financial statements included in KKR & Co. Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2025 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 27, 2026 (our "Annual
Report"), and the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included therein.
Additionally, in the accompanying financial statements, the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition are
referred to hereafter as the "consolidated statements of financial condition"; the condensed consolidated statements of
operations are referred to hereafter as the "consolidated statements of operations"; the condensed consolidated statements
of comprehensive income (loss) are referred to hereafter as the "consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss)";
the condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity are referred to hereafter as the "consolidated statements of
changes in equity"; and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are referred to hereafter as the "consolidated
statements of cash flows."
KKR consolidates the financial results of KKR Group Partnership and its consolidated entities, which include the accounts
of KKR's investment management and capital markets companies, the general partners of certain unconsolidated investment
funds, general partners of consolidated investment funds and their respective consolidated investment funds, Global
Atlantic’s insurance companies and certain other entities including CFEs.
The presentations in the consolidated statement of financial condition and consolidated statement of operations reflect
the significant industry diversification of KKR by its acquisition of Global Atlantic. Global Atlantic operates an insurance
business, and KKR operates an asset management business, which manages the operations of the Strategic Holdings segment
(see Note 21 "Segment Reporting" of our financial statements), each of which possess distinct characteristics. As a result, KKR
developed a two-tiered approach for the financial statements presentation, where Global Atlantic's insurance operations are
presented separately from KKR's asset management business. KKR believes that these separate presentations provide a more
informative view of the consolidated financial position and results of operations than traditional aggregated presentations
and that reporting Global Atlantic’s insurance operations separately is appropriate given, among other factors, the relative
significance of Global Atlantic’s policy liabilities, which are only obligations of the insurance companies that issued or assumed
them. If a traditional aggregate presentation were to be used, KKR would expect to eliminate or combine several identical or
similar captions, which would condense the presentations, but would also reduce the level of information presented. KKR also
believes that using a traditional aggregate presentation would result in no new line items compared to the two-tier
presentation included in the financial statements in this report.
In the ordinary course of business, KKR’s Asset Management business, Strategic Holdings business and Insurance business
enter into transactions with each other, which may include transactions pursuant to their investment management
agreements and certain financing arrangements. The borrowings from these financing arrangements are non-recourse to KKR
beyond the assets designated to support such borrowings. All of the investment management and financing arrangements
amongst KKR segments are eliminated in consolidation.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. When the Insurance business makes an investment in
an entity consolidated by the Asset Management business, the investment is eliminated from the investment balance in the
Insurance tier in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s
presentation, including the realignment of prior period investment categories to the current year investment category
presentation within Notes 4, 7, 9, and 10.

For a detailed discussion about KKR’s significant accounting policies and for further information on accounting updates
adopted in the prior year, see Note 2 to the financial statements in the Annual Report. Other than the items listed below,
during the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no significant updates to KKR’s significant accounting policies.
Effective beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Company changed the presentation of certain operating expenses in
its Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts previously presented separately as “Insurance Expenses” and “General,
Administrative and Other” are now presented in a single line item, “Policy and Other Operating Expense”. Prior-period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. This change in presentation had no impact on
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the recognition and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, investment income (loss)
and income taxes during the reporting periods. Such estimates include but are not limited to (i) the valuation of investments
and financial instruments, (ii) the determination of the income tax provision, (iii) the impairment of goodwill and intangible
assets, (iv) the impairment of available-for-sale investments, (v) the valuation of insurance policy liabilities, including market
risk benefits, (vi) the valuation of embedded derivatives in policy liabilities and funds withheld, and (vii) the determination of
the allowance for loan losses.
Certain events particular to each industry and country or region in which the portfolio companies conduct their
operations, as well as general market, economic, political, geopolitical (including uncertainties resulting from changes to U.S.
and global tariff policies, escalating trade tensions, and impacts from the recent conflicts in the Middle East), and regulatory
conditions, and natural disasters and catastrophes, including public health crises, may have a significant negative impact on
KKR’s investments and profitability. Such events are beyond KKR’s control, and the likelihood that they may occur and the
effect on KKR's use of estimates cannot be predicted. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025–05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025–05”). ASU 2025–05 simplifies the application of the current
expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets under ASC 606. KKR adopted this
accounting standard effective for the year ended December 31, 2026, and its adoption did not have a material impact on
KKR’s consolidated financial statements.
Future Application of Accounting Standards
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024–03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense
Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024–03”). ASU 2024–03
requires a public business entity to provide disaggregated disclosures of certain categories of expenses on an annual and
interim basis including employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization for each income statement
expense line item that contains those expenses. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15,
2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. KKR is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance
on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025–03, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810):
Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity” (“ASU 2025–03”). ASU 2025–03 requires
an entity involved in an acquisition transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree is a
variable interest entity (“VIE”) that meets the definition of a business to consider certain factors to determine which entity is
the accounting acquirer. The update will be effective for annual periods and interim periods in annual reporting periods
22
Table of Contents
beginning after December 15, 2026. KKR does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements or disclosures.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025–06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic
350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025–06”). ASU 2025–06 eliminates
accounting consideration of software project development stages; requires capitalizing software costs when (i) management
has authorized and committed to funding the project and (ii) it is ‘probable’ the project will be completed and the software
used to perform its intended function (the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold). ASU 2025–06 also enhances the guidance
around the ‘probable-to-complete’ threshold. The update will be effective for annual periods and interim periods in annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. KKR is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its
consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Purchased Loans.
ASU 2025-08 expands the population of purchased financial assets subject to the gross-up approach in Topic 326. As a result
of this update, loans (excluding credit cards) acquired without credit deterioration and deemed “seasoned” as defined in the
ASU will follow the gross-up approach at acquisition and the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price
to determine the amortized cost basis of the loans. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026,
including interim periods within those fiscal years, and is to be applied prospectively to loans acquired on or after adoption;
early adoption is permitted. KKR is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial

financial instruments during a period. Upon disposition of an investment or financial instrument, previously recognized
unrealized gains or losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period.

spreads. Global Atlantic had gross unrealized losses on below investment grade AFS fixed maturity securities of $324.2 million
and $279.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The single largest unrealized loss on AFS fixed

allowance for credit losses had a fair value and gross unrealized losses of $1.3 billion and $123.4 million, respectively, as of
March 31, 2026. These fixed maturity securities primarily relate to Corporate, RMBS, and U.S. state, municipal and political
subdivisions fixed maturity securities, which have depressed values due primarily to an increase in interest rates since the
purchase of these securities. Unrealized losses were not recognized in net income on these fixed maturity securities since
Global Atlantic neither intends to sell the securities nor does it believe that it is more likely than not that it will be required to
sell these securities before recovery of their cost or amortized cost basis. For securities with significant declines in value,
individual security level analysis was performed utilizing underlying collateral default expectations, market data, and industry
analyst reports.

Loan-to-Value Ratio on Mortgage Loans
The loan-to-value ratio is expressed as a percentage of the current amount of the loan relative to the value of the
underlying collateral. The following table summarizes Global Atlantic's loan-to-value ratios for its commercial mortgage loans

Changing economic conditions and updated assumptions affect Global Atlantic's assessment of the collectibility of
commercial mortgage loans. Changing vacancies and rents are incorporated into the analysis that Global Atlantic performs to
measure the allowance for credit losses. In addition, Global Atlantic continuously monitors its commercial mortgage loan
portfolio to identify risk. Areas of emphasis are properties that have exposure to specific geographic events or have
deteriorating credit.
The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for Global Atlantic's residential mortgage loans was 64
2026 and December 31, 2025.
Loan Modifications
Global Atlantic may modify the terms of a loan when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, as a means to
optimize recovery of amounts due on the loan. Modifications may involve temporary relief, such as payment forbearance for
a short period of time (where interest continues to accrue) or may involve more substantive changes to a loan. Changes to the
terms of a loan, pursuant to a modification agreement, are factored into the analysis of the loan’s expected credit losses,
under the allowance model applicable to the loan.
For commercial mortgage loans, modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are tailored for individual
loans and may include interest rate relief, maturity extensions or, less frequently, principal forgiveness. For both residential
mortgage loans and consumer loans, the most common modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, aside
from insignificant delays in payment, typically involve deferral of missed payments to the end of the loan term, interest rate
relief, or maturity extensions.
modifications have been granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Table of Contents
All of the commercial mortgage loans that had a combination of modifications had both interest rate relief and maturity
extensions. For commercial mortgage loans granted interest rate relief, this relief may involve a change from a floating rate to
fixed, a decrease in fixed rate, or a decrease in spread. Interest rate relief provided during the three months ended March 31,
2026 and 2025, was at a weighted average rate of 7.7 % and 3.0 %, respectively. The maturity extensions for commercial
mortgage loans added a weighted-average of 2.9 years and 2.0 years to the life of the loans, for the three months ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, Global Atlantic has commitments to lend additional funds of
$42.9 million for the modified commercial mortgage loans disclosed above.

8. DERIVATIVES
Asset Management and Strategic Holdings
KKR and certain of its consolidated funds have entered into derivative transactions as part of the overall risk management
for their investment strategies. These derivative contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting
purposes. Such contracts may include forward, swap, and option contracts related to foreign currencies and interest rates to
manage foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk arising from certain assets and liabilities. All derivatives are recognized in
Other Assets or Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities and are presented on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of
financial condition and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in Net Gains (Losses) from Investment
Activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. KKR's derivative financial instruments contain credit
risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. KKR attempts to reduce this risk
by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions with strong credit ratings.
Insurance
Global Atlantic holds derivative instruments that are primarily used in its hedge program. Global Atlantic has established
a hedge program that seeks to mitigate economic impacts primarily from interest rate and equity price movements, while
taking into consideration accounting and capital impacts.
Global Atlantic hedges interest rate and equity market risks associated with its insurance liabilities including fixed-indexed
annuities, indexed universal life policies, variable annuity policies, and variable universal life policies, among others. For fixed-
indexed annuities and indexed universal life policies, Global Atlantic generally seeks to use static hedges to offset the
exposure primarily created by changes in its embedded derivative balances. Global Atlantic generally purchases options which
replicate the crediting rate strategies, often in the form of call spreads. Call spreads are the purchase of a call option matched
by the sale of a different call option. For variable annuities and variable universal life policies, Global Atlantic generally seeks
to dynamically hedge its exposure to changes in the value of the guarantee it provides to policyholders. Doing so requires the
active trading of several financial instruments to respond to changes in market conditions. In addition, Global Atlantic enters
into inflation swaps to manage inflation risk associated with inflation-indexed preneed policies.
In the context of specific reinsurance transactions in the institutional channel or acquisitions, Global Atlantic may also
enter into hedges which are designed to limit short-term market risks to the economic value of the target assets. From time to
time, Global Atlantic also enters into hedges designed to mitigate interest rate and credit risk in investment income, interest
expense, and fair value of assets and liabilities. In addition, Global Atlantic enters into currency swaps and forwards to
manage any foreign exchange rate risks that may arise from investments and policy liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies.
Global Atlantic attempts to mitigate the risk of loss due to ineffectiveness under these derivative investments through a
regular monitoring process which evaluates the program’s effectiveness. Global Atlantic monitors its derivative activities by
reviewing portfolio activities and risk levels. Global Atlantic also oversees all derivative transactions to ensure that the types
of transactions entered into and the results obtained from those transactions are consistent with both Global Atlantic's risk
management strategy and its policies and procedures.
The restricted cash which was held in connection with open derivative transactions with exchange brokers was $42.9
million and $49.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Global Atlantic also has embedded derivatives related to reinsurance contracts that are accounted for on a modified
coinsurance and funds withheld basis. An embedded derivative exists because the arrangement exposes the reinsurer to
third-party credit risk. These embedded derivatives are included in funds withheld receivable and payable at interest in the
consolidated statements of financial condition.
Credit Risk
Global Atlantic may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties to
derivatives. Generally, the current credit exposure of Global Atlantic’s derivatives is limited to the positive fair value of
derivatives less any collateral received from the counterparty.
Global Atlantic manages the credit risk on its derivatives by entering into derivative transactions with highly rated
financial institutions and other creditworthy counterparties and, where feasible, by trading through central clearing

counterparties. Global Atlantic further manages its credit risk on derivatives via the use of master netting agreements, which
require the daily posting of collateral by the party in a liability position. Counterparty credit exposure and collateral values are
monitored regularly and measured against counterparty exposure limits. The provisions of derivative transactions may allow
for the termination and settlement of a transaction if there is a downgrade to Global Atlantic’s financial strength ratings
below a specified level.

Derivatives Designated as Accounting Hedges
Where Global Atlantic has derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as accounting hedges, these derivative
instruments receive hedge accounting.
Fair Value Hedges
Global Atlantic has designated foreign exchange derivative contracts, including forwards and swaps, to hedge the foreign
currency risk associated with foreign currency-denominated bonds in fair value hedges. These foreign currency-denominated
bonds are accounted for as AFS fixed maturity securities. Changes in the fair value of the hedged AFS fixed maturity securities
due to changes in spot exchange rates are reclassified from AOCI to earnings, which offsets the earnings impact of the spot
changes of the foreign exchange derivative contracts, both of which are recognized within investment-related gains (losses).
The effectiveness of these hedges is assessed using the spot method. Changes in the fair value of the foreign exchange
derivative contracts related to changes in the spot-forward difference are excluded from the assessment of hedge
effectiveness and are deferred in AOCI and recognized in earnings using a systematic and rational method over the life of the
foreign exchange derivative contracts. The amortized cost of the AFS fixed maturity securities in qualifying foreign exchange
fair value hedges was $4.9 billion and $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Global Atlantic has designated foreign exchange swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with certain policy
liabilities in fair value hedges. Changes in the fair value of the hedged policy liabilities due to changes in spot exchange rates
are recognized in earnings and are offset by the earnings impact of the spot changes of the foreign exchange swaps, both of
which are recognized within net policy benefits and claims. The effectiveness of these hedges is assessed using the spot
method. Changes in the fair value of the foreign exchange swaps related to changes in the spot-forward difference are
excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are deferred in AOCI and recognized in earnings using a systematic
and rational method over the life of the foreign exchange swaps. The carrying value of the policy liabilities in qualifying foreign
exchange fair value hedges was $102.4 million and nil as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Global Atlantic has designated interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with certain debt and policy
liabilities. These fair value hedges generally qualify for the shortcut method of assessing hedge effectiveness. The following
table presents the financial statement classification, carrying amount, and cumulative fair value hedging adjustments for
qualifying hedged debt and policy liabilities:

Policy Liabilities | ( | ( | |||||
(1)Includes $145.8 million and $154.6 million of hedging adjustments on discontinued hedging relationships as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025,
respectively.
Cash Flow Hedges
Global Atlantic has designated bond forwards to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the planned purchase of AFS
fixed maturity securities in cash flow hedges. These arrangements are hedging purchases through January 2036 and are
expected to affect earnings until 2057. Regression analysis is used to assess the effectiveness of these hedges.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was a cumulative gain (loss) of $(201.2 ) million and $(213.9 ) million,
respectively, on the currently designated bond forwards recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to net investment income following the
qualifying purchases of AFS securities, as an adjustment to the yield earned over the life of the purchased securities, using the
effective interest method.
Global Atlantic has designated interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with floating rate
investments, including AFS fixed maturity securities and commercial mortgage loans. Regression analysis is used to assess the
effectiveness of these hedges.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was a cumulative gain (loss) of $(36.9 ) million and $(22.3 ) million on
the currently designated interest rate swaps recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), respectively.
Amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) are reclassified to net investment income in the same
period during which the hedged investments affect earnings.
Global Atlantic has designated foreign exchange swaps to hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with certain policy
liabilities in cash flow hedges. The critical terms of the swaps match those of the hedged liabilities, such that the respective
hedging relationship is expected to be perfectly effective (pursuant to ASC 815-20-25-84).
As of March 31, 2026, there was a cumulative gain (loss) of $(32.3 ) million on the currently designated foreign exchange
swaps recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss are
reclassified to net policy benefits and claims in the same period during which the hedged policy liabilities affect earnings due
to changes in spot foreign exchange rates. The amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for the swap
designated in the hedge comprises changes in its fair value due to changes in spot exchange rates and an allocated portion of
its initial spot-forward difference.
For all cash flow hedges, Global Atlantic estimates that the amount of gains/losses in accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months will not be material.
Net Investment Hedges
Global Atlantic has designated cross currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with certain foreign
currency-denominated equity method investments in net investment hedges. The effectiveness of these hedges is assessed
based on changes in spot rates.
Changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income, consistent with the translation
adjustment for the hedged investment. The component comprising the difference between forward rates and spot rates is
amortized to net investment income over the life of the swaps. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the cumulative
foreign currency translation gain (loss) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to net investment
hedges was $(3.8 ) million and $(14.1 ) million, respectively.

(1)In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments,
market valuations of comparable companies and company specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. KKR has
determined that market participants would take these inputs into account when valuing the investments and debt obligations. "LTM" means last twelve
months, and "EBITDA" means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
(2)Inputs were weighted based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.
(3)Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level III investments that would result from an increase to
the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases in these
inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
(4)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the market comparables approach would increase the fair value of the Level III
investments if the market comparables approach results in a higher valuation than the discounted cash flow approach and transaction price. The opposite
would be true if the market comparables approach results in a lower valuation than the discounted cash flow approach and transaction price.
(5)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the discounted cash flow approach would increase the fair value of the Level III
investments if the discounted cash flow approach results in a higher valuation than the market comparables approach, transaction price and direct
income capitalization approach. The opposite would be true if the discounted cash flow approach results in a lower valuation than the market
comparables approach, transaction price and direct income capitalization approach.
(6)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the transaction price or milestones would increase the fair value of the Level III
investments if the transaction price or milestones results in a higher valuation than the market comparables and discounted cash flow approach. The
opposite would be true if the transaction price or milestones results in a lower valuation than the market comparables approach and discounted cash flow
approach.
(7)The directional change from an increase in the weight ascribed to the direct income capitalization approach would increase the fair value of the Level III
investments if the direct income capitalization approach results in a higher valuation than the discounted cash flow approach. The opposite would be true
if the direct income capitalization approach results in a lower valuation than the discounted cash flow approach.

(9)The funds withheld receivable at interest has been excluded from the above table. As discussed in Note 12 – Reinsurance, the funds withheld receivable

Accordingly, the unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation of the embedded derivative are a component of the invested assets supporting the funds
withheld reinsurance agreements.

(1)In determining certain of these inputs, management evaluates a variety of factors including economic conditions, industry and market developments,
market valuations of comparable companies and company specific developments including exit strategies and realization opportunities. KKR has
determined that market participants would likely take these inputs into account when valuing the investments and debt obligations. "LTM" means last
twelve months, and "EBITDA" means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
(2)Inputs were weighted based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.
(3)Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level III investments that would result from an increase to
the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases in these
inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
(4)The fair value of the embedded derivative component of the funds withheld payable at interest has been excluded from the above table. The investments
supporting the funds withheld payable at interest balance are held in a trust by Global Atlantic. Accordingly, the unobservable inputs utilized in the
valuation of the embedded derivative are a component of the investments supporting the reinsurance cession agreements.
In the table above, certain private equity investments may be valued at cost for a period of time after an acquisition as
the best indicator of fair value. In addition, certain valuations of private equity investments may be entirely or partially
derived by reference to observable valuation measures for a pending or consummated transaction.
The various unobservable inputs used to determine the Level III valuations may have similar or diverging impacts on
valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could
result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements as noted in the table above.

A key credit quality indicator is a counterparty’s A.M. Best financial strength rating. A.M. Best ratings are an independent
opinion of a reinsurer’s ability to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders. Global Atlantic mitigates counterparty credit risk
by requiring collateral and credit enhancements in various forms including engaging in funds withheld at interest and
modified coinsurance transactions. The following shows the amortized cost basis of Global Atlantic’s reinsurance recoverable
and funds withheld receivable at interest by credit quality indicator and any associated credit enhancements Global Atlantic
has obtained to mitigate counterparty credit risk:

including certain equity awards that have met their market price-based vesting condition but have not satisfied their service-based vesting condition. For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, all unvested equity awards are excluded from the calculation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to KKR &
Co. Inc. Per Share of Common Stock because including these unvested equity awards as incremental shares would decrease the loss per share of common
stock as a result of the inclusion of such awards being anti-dilutive. Upon vesting, these awards dilute the ownership interests of KKR Group Partnership

15. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated VIEs
KKR consolidates certain VIEs in which it is determined that KKR is the primary beneficiary. The consolidated VIEs are
predominately CLOs and certain investment funds sponsored by KKR. The primary purpose of these VIEs is to provide strategy
specific investment opportunities to earn investment gains, current income or both in exchange for management fees and
performance income. KKR's investment strategies differ for these VIEs; however, the fundamental risks have similar
characteristics, including loss of invested capital and loss of management fees and performance income. KKR does not provide
performance guarantees and has no other financial obligation to provide funding to these consolidated VIEs, beyond amounts
previously committed, if any. Furthermore, KKR consolidates certain VIEs that are formed by Global Atlantic to either (i) hold
investments, including fixed maturity securities, consumer and other loans, renewable energy, transportation and real estate,
or (ii) to conduct certain reinsurance activities with third party commitments.
Unconsolidated VIEs
KKR holds variable interests in certain VIEs which are not consolidated as it has been determined that KKR is not the
primary beneficiary. VIEs that are not consolidated predominantly include certain investment funds sponsored by KKR as well
as certain investment partnerships where Global Atlantic retains an economic interest. KKR's investment strategies differ by
investment fund; however, the fundamental risks have similar characteristics, including loss of invested capital and loss of
management fees and performance income. KKR's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in the
unconsolidated investment funds is the carrying value of such investments, including KKR's capital interest and any unrealized
carried interest. Accordingly, disaggregation of KKR's involvement by type of unconsolidated investment fund would not
provide more useful information. For these unconsolidated investment funds in which KKR is the sponsor, KKR may have an
obligation as general partner to provide commitments to such investment funds. As of March 31, 2026, KKR's commitments to
these unconsolidated investment funds were $1.7 billion. KKR generally has not provided any financial support other than its
obligated amount as of March 31, 2026. Additionally, Global Atlantic has unfunded commitments of $401.9 million as of
March 31, 2026.
noncontrolling interests, if any, for those VIEs in which KKR is determined not to be the primary beneficiary but in which it has
a variable interest is as follows:

investments.

KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility
On March 27, 2026, KKR Capital Markets Holdings L.P. and certain other capital markets subsidiaries (the "KCM
Borrowers") replaced their existing 364-day revolving credit agreement with a new 364-day revolving credit agreement (the
"KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility”) with Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent, and one or more lenders party
thereto. The KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility replaced the prior 364-day revolving credit facility, dated as of April 2,
2025, between the KCM Borrowers and the administrative agent, and one or more lenders party to the prior facility, which
was terminated according to its terms on March 27, 2026. The KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility provides for revolving
borrowings up to $750 million, expires on March 26, 2027, and ranks pari passu with the existing $750 million 5-year revolving
credit facility provided by them for KKR's capital markets business (the "KCM Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility"). If a
borrowing is made under the KCM 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, the interest rate will vary depending on the type of
drawdown requested. As with the KCM Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility, borrowings under the KCM 364-Day Revolving
Credit Facility may only be used for KKR’s capital markets business. This facility’s only obligors are entities involved in KKR’s
capital markets business, and its liabilities are non-recourse to other parts of KKR’s business. The KCM 364-Day Revolving
Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants,
including a financial covenant providing for a maximum debt to equity ratio for the KCM Borrowers, which are substantially
similar to those found in the KCM Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility. The KCM Borrowers' obligations under the KCM 364-Day
Revolving Credit Facility are secured by certain assets of the KCM Borrowers, including a pledge of equity interests of certain
subsidiaries of the KCM Borrowers.
Other Asset Management and Strategic Holdings Debt Obligations
Certain of KKR's consolidated investment funds have entered into financing arrangements with financial institutions,
generally to provide liquidity to such investment funds. These financing arrangements are generally not direct obligations of
the general partners of KKR's investment funds (beyond KKR's capital interest) or its management companies. Such
borrowings have varying maturities and bear interest at floating rates. Borrowings are generally secured by the investment
purchased with the proceeds of the borrowing and/or the uncalled capital commitment of each respective fund. When an
investment vehicle borrows, the proceeds are available only for use by that investment vehicle and are not available for the
benefit of other investment vehicles or KKR. Collateral within each investment vehicle is also available only against borrowings
by that investment vehicle and not against the borrowings of other investment vehicles or KKR.
In certain other cases, investments and other assets held directly by majority-owned consolidated levered investment
vehicles and other entities have been funded with borrowings that are collateralized by the investments and assets they own.
These borrowings are non-recourse to KKR beyond the investments or assets serving as collateral or the capital that KKR has
committed to fund such investment vehicles. Such borrowings have varying maturities and generally bear interest at fixed
rates.
In addition, consolidated CFEs issue debt securities to third-party investors which are collateralized by assets held by the
CFE. Debt securities issued by CFEs are supported solely by the assets held at the CFEs and are not collateralized by assets of
any other KKR entity. CFEs also may have warehouse facilities with banks to provide liquidity to the CFE. The CFE's debt
obligations are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets of the CFE.

(2)The senior notes of the consolidated CFEs had a weighted average interest rate of 4.9 %. The subordinated notes of the consolidated CLOs do not have
contractual interest rates but instead receive a pro rata amount of the net distributions from the excess cash flows of the respective CLO vehicle.
Accordingly, weighted average borrowing rates for the subordinated notes are based on cash distributions during the period, if any.
Debt obligations of consolidated CLOs are collateralized by assets held by each respective CLO vehicle and assets of one
CLO vehicle may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the consolidated CLO
assets was $34.0 billion. This collateral consisted of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investments, and Other Assets.

Global Atlantic Insurance Operating Company Revolving Credit Facility
On January 16, 2026, Global Atlantic Limited (Delaware) and GA FinCo (together, the “GA Guarantors”) and certain direct
and indirect insurance company subsidiaries of the Guarantors (such insurance company subsidiaries, the “GA OpCo
Borrowers”, and together with the Guarantors, the “GA OpCo Credit Parties”) entered into a credit agreement (the “GA OpCo
Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “GA Administrative Agent”) and other lenders
from time to time party thereto.
The GA OpCo Credit Agreement provides the GA OpCo Borrowers with an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “GA
OpCo Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion as of January 16, 2026, with the option to request an
increase in the facility amount of up to an additional $500 million, for an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion, subject to
certain conditions, including obtaining new or increased commitments from new or existing lenders. The GA OpCo Credit
Facility is a 364-day facility, scheduled to mature on January 15, 2027, which may from time to time be extended for
additional 364-day periods at the GA OpCo Borrowers’ option, subject to the consent of the applicable lenders, and the GA
OpCo Borrowers may prepay, terminate or reduce the commitments under the GA OpCo Credit Facility at any time without

penalty. Borrowings under the GA OpCo Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes including working capital.
Interest on borrowings under the GA OpCo Credit Facility will be based on either (i) the term Secured Overnight Financing
Rate (SOFR), plus a margin based on a corporate ratings-based grid ranging from 1.10 % to 1.375 %, or (ii) an alternate base
rate, plus a margin based on a corporate ratings-based grid ranging from 0.10 % to 0.375 %.
Certain other terms of the GA OpCo Credit Agreement include: (i) financial covenants that require GALD and certain of its
consolidated subsidiaries not to exceed a specified debt-to-total-capitalization ratio and to satisfy a net worth threshold; (ii)
customary representations, affirmative covenants and certain negative covenants; and (iii) customary events of default, upon
the occurrence of which the lenders will have the ability to accelerate all outstanding loans under the GA OpCo Credit Facility
and terminate the commitments.
Debt Covenants
Borrowings of KKR (including Global Atlantic) contain various debt covenants. These covenants do not, in management's
opinion, materially restrict KKR's operating business or investment strategies as of March 31, 2026. KKR (including Global
Atlantic) was in compliance with such debt covenants in all material respects as of March 31, 2026.

(1)Payout annuities generally only have a single premium received at contract inception. As a result, the liability for future policy benefits generally would
not reflect a present value for future premiums for payout annuities.
(2)“Other” consists of activity related to long-term care insurance, variable annuities, traditional life insurance, preneed insurance, and fixed-rate annuity
products. Mortality and morbidity risks associated with the long-term care insurance have been ceded to a third-party reinsurer.
(3)Reinsurance recoverables associated with the liability for future policy benefits is net of the effect of changes in discount rate assumptions of

Significant Inputs, Judgments, and Assumptions Used in Measuring Market Risk Benefits
Significant policyholder behavior and other assumption inputs to the calculation of the market risk benefits include
interest rates, instrument-specific credit risk, mortality rates, surrender rates, and utilization rates. Global Atlantic reviews its
assumptions at least annually, and more frequently if necessary. Accordingly, as part of the review conducted during the three
months ended March 31, 2025, assumptions for fixed-indexed annuities activations were updated, which resulted in a $43.9
million increase to net income before taxes.

Table of Contents
Separate Account Liabilities
Separate account assets and liabilities consist of investment accounts established and maintained by Global Atlantic for
certain variable annuity and interest-sensitive life insurance contracts. Some of these contracts include minimum guarantees
such as GMDBs and GMWBs that guarantee a minimum payment to the policyholder.
The assets that support these variable annuity and interest-sensitive life insurance contracts are measured at fair value
and are reported as separate account assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. An equivalent amount is
reported as separate account liabilities. Market risk benefit assets and liabilities for minimum guarantees are valued and
presented separately from separate account assets and separate account liabilities. For more information on market risk
benefits see “—Market risk benefits” in this footnote. Policy charges assessed against the policyholders for mortality,
administration and other services are included in “Policy fees” in the consolidated statements of operations.

18. INCOME TAXES
KKR & Co. Inc. is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local
income taxes at the corporate level on its share of taxable income. In addition, KKR Group Partnership and certain of its
subsidiaries operate as partnerships for U.S. federal tax purposes but as taxable entities for certain state, local or non-U.S. tax
purposes. Moreover, certain corporate subsidiaries of KKR, including certain subsidiaries of Global Atlantic, are domestic
corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the effective tax rates for KKR & Co. Inc. were 40.0 % and 11.2 %,
respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the 21% U.S. federal income tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
2026 and 2025 primarily due to the portion of the reported net income (loss) before taxes not being attributable to KKR but
rather being attributable to (i) third-party limited partner interests in consolidated investment funds which are not subject to
taxes that are payable by KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries and (ii) exchangeable securities representing ownership interests
in KKR Group Partnership until they are exchanged for common stock of KKR & Co. Inc.
75
Table of Contents
Each reporting period, KKR assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future
taxable income will be generated to realize existing deferred tax assets. Global Atlantic’s deferred tax assets are believed to
be more likely than not to be realized and therefore, no valuation allowance is needed. It is reasonably possible that
prolonged market volatility may negatively affect Global Atlantic's operating results and its ability to realize its tax planning
strategies and may warrant the establishment of a valuation allowance on a portion of its deferred tax assets within the next
12 months.

KKR Equity Incentive Awards
Under KKR's equity incentive plan, KKR is permitted to grant equity awards representing ownership interests in
KKR & Co. Inc. common stock. On March 29, 2019, the Amended and Restated KKR & Co. Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"2019 Equity Incentive Plan") became effective. Following the effectiveness of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, KKR no longer
makes further grants under the Amended and Restated KKR & Co. Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, and the 2019 Equity
Incentive Plan became KKR's only plan for providing new equity awards by KKR & Co. Inc. The total number of equity awards
representing shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan is equivalent to 15 % of the
aggregate number of the shares of common stock and KKR Group Partnership Units (excluding KKR Group Partnership Units
held by KKR & Co. Inc. or its wholly-owned subsidiaries), subject to annual adjustment. As of March 31, 2026, 57,196,800
shares may be issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. KKR has also issued equity grants in the form of restricted
holdings units through KKR Holdings III L.P. ("KKR Holdings III"), which are not issued under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and
are currently held by certain current and former KKR employees. Equity awards granted generally consist of (i) restricted stock
units that convert into shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. (or cash equivalent) upon vesting and (ii) restricted holdings
units that are exchangeable into shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. upon vesting and certain other conditions,
including those described below.
In April 2026, the Company granted equity incentive awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan representing
approximately 29 million shares of common stock, which awards are subject to market price and cliff service vesting
conditions based on average prices of common stock ranging from $150 to $250 and the recipient’s continued service through
May 1, 2031, subject to certain exceptions (including if the market price conditions are satisfied between May 1, 2031 and
May 1, 2033 with continued service through such date). In April 2026, the Company also granted equity incentive awards
under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan representing approximately 2 million shares of common stock, which are subject to
time-based vesting conditions based on the recipient’s continued service for five years , subject to certain exceptions. Both
sets of equity awards have transfer restrictions ranging from 1 to 5 years following vesting.
Service-Vesting Awards
KKR grants restricted stock units and restricted holdings units that are subject to service-based vesting, typically over a
three to five-year period from the date of grant (referred to hereafter as "Service-Vesting Awards"). In certain cases, these
Service-Vesting Awards may have a percentage of the award that vests immediately upon grant, and certain Service-Vesting
Awards may have vesting periods longer than five years . Additionally, some but not all Service-Vesting Awards are subject to
transfer restrictions and/or minimum retained ownership requirements. Generally, the transfer restriction period, if
applicable, lasts for (i) one year with respect to one-half of the awards vesting on any vesting date and (ii) two years with
respect to the other one-half of the awards vesting on such vesting date. While providing services to KKR, some but not all of
these awards are also subject to minimum retained ownership rules requiring the award recipient to continuously hold shares
of common stock equivalents equal to at least 15 % of their cumulatively vested awards that have or had the minimum
retained ownership requirement. Holders of the Service-Vesting Awards do not participate in dividends until such awards
have met their vesting requirements.

Table of Contents
Expense associated with the vesting of these Service-Vesting Awards is based on the closing price of KKR & Co. Inc.
common stock on the date of grant, discounted for the lack of participation rights in the expected dividends on unvested
equity awards. Expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the award and assumes a forfeiture rate of up to
As of March 31, 2026, there was approximately $697 million of total estimated unrecognized expense related to unvested
Service-Vesting Awards, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite service period of

Market Condition Awards
KKR also grants restricted stock units and restricted holdings units that are subject to both a service-based vesting
condition and a market price based vesting condition. The following is a discussion of the Market Condition Awards, excluding
the Co-CEO Awards (as defined and discussed below).
The number of Market Condition Awards (other than the Co-CEO awards) that will vest depend upon (i) the market price
of KKR common stock reaching certain price targets that range from $45.00 to $140.00 and (ii) the employee being employed
by KKR on a certain date, which typically ranges from five to six years from the date of grant (with exceptions for involuntary
termination without cause, death and permanent disability). The market price vesting condition is met when the average
closing price of KKR common stock during 20 consecutive trading days meets or exceeds the stock price targets. Holders of the
Market Condition Awards do not participate in dividends until such awards have met both their service-based and market
price based vesting requirements. Additionally, these awards are subject to additional transfer restrictions and minimum
retained ownership requirements after vesting.
Due to the existence of the service requirement, the vesting period for these Market Condition Awards (other than the
Co-CEO awards) is explicit, and as such, compensation expense will be recognized on (i) a straight-line basis over the period
from the date of grant through the date the award recipient is required to be employed by KKR and (ii) assumes a forfeiture
rate of up to 7 % annually based upon expected turnover. The fair value of the awards granted are based on a Monte Carlo
simulation valuation model. In addition, the grant date fair value assumes that holders of the Market Condition Awards will
not participate in dividends until such awards have met all of their vesting requirements.

As of March 31, 2026, all of the Market Condition awards have met their market price based vesting condition. These
Market Condition awards remain unvested until their service conditions (as described above) are satisfied.
Co-CEO Awards
On December 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved grants of 7.5 million restricted holdings units to each of KKR’s Co-
Chief Executive Officers that are subject to both a service-based vesting condition and a market price based vesting condition
(referred to hereafter as "Co-CEOs Awards"). For both Co-Chief Executive Officers, 20
vest at each of the following KKR common stock prices targets: $95.80 , $105.80 , $115.80 , $125.80 and $135.80 . The market
price based vesting condition is met when the average closing price of KKR common stock during 20 consecutive trading days
meets or exceeds the stock price targets. In addition to the market price based vesting conditions, in order for the award to
vest, the Co-Chief Executive Officer is required to be employed by KKR on December 31, 2026 (with exceptions for involuntary
termination without cause, death and permanent disability).
These awards will be automatically canceled and forfeited upon the earlier of a Co-Chief Executive Officer’s termination
of service (except for involuntary termination without cause, death or permanent disability) or the failure to meet the market
price based vesting condition by December 31, 2028 (for which continued service is required if the market price vesting
condition is met after December 31, 2026). Co-CEO Awards do not participate in dividends until such awards have met both
their service-based and market price based vesting requirements. Additionally, these awards are subject to additional transfer
restrictions and minimum retained ownership requirements after vesting.
Due to the existence of the service requirement, the vesting period for these Co-CEO Awards is explicit, and as such,
compensation expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period from the date of grant through December
31, 2026 given the derived service period is less than the explicit service period. The fair value of the awards granted are
based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. In addition, the grant date fair value assumes that these Co-CEO Awards
will not participate in dividends until such awards have met all of their vesting requirements.

March 31, 2026, all Co-CEO Awards have met their market price based vesting condition. The Co-CEO Awards remain
unvested until their service conditions (as described above) are satisfied.

21. SEGMENT REPORTING
KKR operates through three
makers, who are the Co-Chief Executive Officers, allocate resources and assess performance:
•Asset Management – The asset management business offers a broad range of investment management services to
investment funds, vehicles and accounts (including the Insurance and Strategic Holdings segments) and provides
capital markets services to portfolio companies and third parties. This reportable segment also reflects how its
business lines operate collaboratively with predominantly a single expense pool.
•Insurance – The insurance business is operated by Global Atlantic, which is a leading U.S. retirement and life
insurance company that provides a broad suite of protection, legacy and savings products and reinsurance solutions
to clients across individual and institutional markets. Global Atlantic primarily generates income by earning a spread
between its investment income and the cost of policyholder benefits.
•Strategic Holdings – The strategic holdings business acquires and manages interests in operating companies that are
owned by KKR. This segment primarily generates income from dividends from these businesses. Dividends are
presented net of management fees paid to the Asset Management segment. If KKR were to sell a portion or all of a
business reported in Strategic Holdings, the realized gain or loss would be presented as realized investment income,
net of a performance fee paid to the Asset Management segment.
KKR’s segment profitability measures used to make operating decisions and assess performance across KKR’s reportable
segments is presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) among KKR & Co. Inc. and holders of any
exchangeable securities, and the consolidation of the investment funds, vehicles and accounts that KKR advises, manages or
sponsors (including CFEs). For each segment, the chief operating decision makers use the key measure of segment earnings to
allocate resources to that segment in the annual budget and forecasting process. KKR's segment profitability measures
excludes: (i) equity-based compensation charges, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, and (iii) transaction-related and
non-operating items, if any. Transaction-related and non-operating items arise from corporate actions, which consist of: (i)
impairments, (ii) transaction costs from acquisitions, including any acquisition-related stock consideration, (iii) depreciation on
real estate that KKR owns and occupies, (iv) contingent liabilities, net of any recoveries, (v) certain integration, restructuring,
and other non-operating expenses, and (vi) other gains or charges that affect period-to-period comparability and are not
reflective of KKR's ongoing operational performance.

Inter-segment transactions are not eliminated from segment results when management considers those transactions in
assessing the results of the respective segments. These transactions include (i) management fees earned by the Asset
Management segment as the investment adviser for Global Atlantic’s insurance companies, (ii) management and performance
fees earned by the Asset Management segment from the Strategic Holdings segment, and (iii) interest income and expense
based on lending arrangements where the Asset Management segment borrows from the Insurance segment. All these inter-
segment transactions are recorded by each segment based on the applicable governing agreements. Additionally, due to the
integrated nature of our segment operations and as part of our strategic capital allocation decisions, inter-segment asset
transfers have and may continue to occur. In these cases in segment reporting, the assets are transferred at their fair value,
and no gain or loss is recognized at the time of transfer. Earnings are recognized upon realization events and transactions with
third parties. Total Segment Earnings represents the total segment earnings of KKR’s Asset Management, Insurance, and
Strategic Holdings segments:
•Asset Management Segment Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to
assess the performance of the Asset Management segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is
comprised of: (i) Fee Related Earnings, (ii) Realized Performance Income, (iii) Realized Performance Income
Compensation, (iv) Realized Investment Income, and (v) Realized Investment Income Compensation. Asset
Management Segment Earnings excludes the impact of: (i) unrealized gains (losses) on investments, (ii) unrealized
carried interest, and (iii) unrealized carried interest compensation. Management fees earned by KKR as the adviser,
manager or sponsor for its investment funds, vehicles and accounts, including its Global Atlantic insurance companies
and Strategic Holdings segment, are included in Asset Management Segment Earnings.
•Insurance Operating Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess
the performance of the Insurance segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised of: (i)
Net Investment Income, (ii) Net Cost of Insurance, and (iii) General, Administrative, and Other Expenses. Insurance
Operating Earnings excludes the impact of: (i) investment gains (losses) which include realized gains (losses) related
to asset/liability matching investment strategies and unrealized investment gains (losses) and (ii) non-operating
changes in policy liabilities and derivatives which includes (a) changes in the fair value of market risk benefits and
other policy liabilities measured at fair value and related benefit payments, (b) fees attributed to guaranteed
benefits, (c) derivatives used to manage the risks associated with policy liabilities, and (d) losses at contract issuance
on payout annuities. Insurance Operating Earnings includes (i) realized gains and losses not related to asset/liability
matching investment strategies and (ii) the investment management costs that are earned by our Asset Management
segment as the investment adviser of the Global Atlantic insurance companies.
•Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to
assess the performance of the Strategic Holdings segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is
comprised of: Dividends, Net and Net Realized Investment Income. Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings excludes the
impact of unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings includes management fees
and performance fee expenses that are earned by the Asset Management segment.
KKR disclosed all the segment expenses under the significant expense principle for each reportable segment. There are no
expenses to be disclosed in the other segment category, because segment revenues minus segment expenses equals the
segment measure of profit of each reportable segment.
Effective beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the information regularly provided to KKR’s chief operating decision
makers for the Insurance Segment was changed to reclassify certain operating expenses from “General, Administrative and
Other” to “Net Cost of Insurance.” Prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period
presentation. This reclassification had no impact on Insurance Operating Earnings.

22. EQUITY
Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock
The common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. is entitled to vote as provided by its certificate of incorporation, Delaware General
Corporation Law and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Subject to preferences that apply to any shares of
preferred stock outstanding at the time on which dividends are payable, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive
dividends out of funds legally available if the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines to declare dividends and then
only at the times and in the amounts that the Board of Directors may determine. The common stock is not entitled to
preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Series I Preferred Stock
Except for any distribution required by Delaware law to be made upon a dissolution event, the holders of Series I
preferred stock do not have any economic rights to receive dividends. Series I preferred stock is entitled to vote on various
matters that may be submitted to vote of the stockholders and the other matters as set forth in the certificate of
incorporation. Upon a dissolution event, each holder of Series I preferred stock will be entitled to a payment equal to $0.01
83
Table of Contents
per share of Series I preferred stock. The Series I preferred stock will be eliminated on the Sunset Date (as defined in Note 1
"Organization"), which is scheduled to occur not later than December 31, 2026.
Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
On March 7, 2025, KKR & Co. Inc. issued 51,750,000 shares, or $2.59 billion aggregate liquidation preference, of Series D
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.
Subject to certain exceptions, so long as any share of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock remains
outstanding, no dividend or distributions will be declared or paid on shares of KKR & Co. Inc.’s common stock, par value $0.01
per share, or any other class or series of stock ranking junior to the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, and no
common stock or any other class or series of stock ranking junior to the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will
be purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for consideration by KKR & Co. Inc. or any of its subsidiaries unless, in each
case, all accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid in cash, shares of
common stock or a combination thereof, or a sufficient sum of cash or number of shares of common stock has been set aside
for the payment of such dividends, on all outstanding shares of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition,
when dividends on shares of the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (i) have not been declared and paid in full on
any dividend payment date (or, in the case of any parity stock having dividend payment dates different from such dividend
payment dates on a dividend payment date falling within a regular dividend period related to such dividend payment date), or
(ii) have been declared but a sum of cash or number of shares of Common Stock sufficient for payment thereof has not been
set aside for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable regular record date, no dividends may be declared or paid on
any parity stock unless dividends are declared on the shares of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock such that the
respective amounts of such dividends declared on the shares of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such
shares of parity stock shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the shares of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred
Stock and the holders of any shares of parity stock then outstanding.
Unless converted earlier, each share of the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert on
the mandatory conversion date, which is expected to be March 1, 2028, into between 0.3312 shares and 0.4140 shares of
common stock, in each case, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments described in the certificate of designations
setting forth the terms of the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The number of shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion will be determined based on the average volume weighted average price per share of common
stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21 st scheduled trading day immediately
prior to March 1, 2028.
Dividends on the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if
declared by KKR & Co. Inc.’s board of directors, or an authorized committee thereof (which will be influenced by receipt of
distributions from KKR Group Partnership in respect of our Series D mirrored preferred units that we hold in KKR Group
Partnership) at an annual rate of 6.25 % on the liquidation preference of $50.00 per share of Series D Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock, and may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of common stock or, subject to certain
limitations, any combination of cash and shares of common stock.
If declared, dividends on the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on March 1, June
1, September 1 and December 1 of each year to, and including, March 1, 2028, commencing on June 1, 2025.
Upon KKR & Co. Inc.’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, each holder of the Series D
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference in the amount of $50.00 per share
of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends on such
shares, whether or not declared, to, but excluding, the date fixed for liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, such amount to be
paid out of KKR & Co. Inc.’s assets legally available for distribution to its stockholders after satisfaction of debt and other
liabilities owed to KKR & Co. Inc.’s creditors and holders of shares of its stock ranking senior to the Series D Mandatory
Convertible Preferred Stock and before any payment or distribution is made to holders of any stock ranking junior to the
Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, Common Stock.
Share Repurchase Program
Under KKR's repurchase program, shares of common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. may be repurchased from time to time in
open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any
repurchases will be determined by KKR in its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements,
price and economic and market conditions. In addition to the repurchases of common stock, the repurchase program will be
used for the retirement (by cash settlement or the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) of equity
84
Table of Contents
awards granted pursuant to our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan representing the right to receive common stock. KKR expects that
the program will be in effect until the maximum approved dollar amount has been used. The program does not require KKR to
repurchase or retire any specific number of shares of common stock or equity awards, respectively, and the program may be
suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. In March 2026, the share repurchase program was amended
such that when the remaining available amount under the share repurchase program becomes $50 million or less, the total
available amount under the share repurchase program will automatically increase by an additional $500 million to the then
remaining available amount (the “Share Repurchase Program Increase Threshold”). As of May 1, 2026, there was
approximately $122 million remaining under the program. Any additional increases to the total available amount after the
Share Repurchase Program Increase Threshold is reached would require a separate approval by the Board of Directors of KKR
& Co. Inc. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date.

Change in KKR & Co. Inc.'s Ownership Interest
Vesting of restricted holdings units results in a change in ownership in KKR Group Partnership, while KKR retains a
controlling interest, and is accounted for as an equity transaction between the controlling and noncontrolling interests.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities represent the non-redeemable ownership interests in KKR that are held
primarily by:
(i)third party fund investors in KKR's consolidated funds and certain other entities;
(ii)third parties in KKR's Capital Markets business line;
(iii)certain current and former employees who hold exchangeable securities; and
(iv)third-party investors in certain of Global Atlantic's consolidated entities.

vehicles that are subject to periodic redemption by fund investors following the expiration of a specified period of time, or
may be withdrawn subject to a redemption fee during the period when capital may not be otherwise withdrawn.

24. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of March 31, 2026, KKR had unfunded commitments consisting of $9.1 billion to its investment funds and vehicles.
These unfunded commitments also include funding requirements to levered investment vehicles and structured transactions
to fund or otherwise be liable for a portion of the vehicle's investment losses and/or to provide the vehicle with liquidity upon
certain termination events.
In addition to these uncalled commitments and funding obligations to KKR's investment funds and vehicles, KKR has
entered into contractual commitments primarily with respect to underwriting transactions, debt financing, revolving credit
facilities, and syndications in KKR's Capital Markets business line. As of March 31, 2026, these capital markets commitments
amounted to $0.6 billion. Whether these amounts are actually funded, in whole or in part, depends on the contractual terms
of such capital markets commitments, including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions to closing or funding. KKR's capital
markets business has arrangements with third parties, which are expected to reduce KKR's risk under certain circumstances
when underwriting certain debt transactions. As a result, our unfunded capital markets commitments as of March 31, 2026,
have been reduced to reflect the amount expected to be funded by such third parties. As of March 31, 2026, KKR's capital
markets business line has entered into such arrangements representing a total notional amount of $5.0 billion.
Global Atlantic has commitments to purchase or fund investments of $6.2 billion as of March 31, 2026. These
commitments include those related to mortgage loans, other lending facilities, and real assets. For those commitments that
represent a contractual obligation to extend credit, Global Atlantic has recorded a liability of $28.1 million for current
expected credit losses as of March 31, 2026.
In addition, Global Atlantic has entered into agreements to purchase loans. Global Atlantic's obligations under these
agreements are subject to change, curtailment, and cancellation based on various provisions including repricing mechanics,
due diligence reviews, and performance or pool quality, among other factors.
Global Atlantic has certain contingent funding obligations related to development-stage renewable energy projects in the
amount of $322.2 million as of March 31, 2026, with expiration dates occurring between March 2027 and September 2027.
For accounting purposes, these contingent funding obligations are considered guarantees of the obligations of the
development-stage renewable energy projects.
KKR's non-cancelable operating leases consist of leases of office space around the world. There are no material rent
holidays, contingent rent, rent concessions, or leasehold improvement incentives associated with any of these property
leases. In addition to base rentals, certain lease agreements are subject to escalation provisions and rent expense is
recognized on a straight‑line basis over the term of the lease agreement. Global Atlantic also enters into land leases for its
consolidated investments in renewable energy.
86
Table of Contents
The partnership documents governing KKR's carry-paying investment funds and vehicles generally include a "clawback"
provision that, if triggered, may give rise to a contingent obligation requiring the general partner to return amounts to the
fund for distribution to the fund investors at the end of the life of the fund. Under a clawback obligation, upon the liquidation
of a fund, the general partner is required to return, typically on an after-tax basis, previously distributed carry to the extent
that, due to the diminished performance of later investments, the aggregate amount of carry distributions received by the
general partner during the term of the fund exceed the amount to which the general partner was ultimately entitled,
including the effects of any performance thresholds. KKR has guaranteed its general partners' clawback obligations.
As of March 31, 2026, approximately $195 million of carried interest was subject to this clawback obligation, assuming
that all applicable carry-paying investment funds were liquidated at their March 31, 2026 fair values. Although KKR would be
required to remit the entire amount to fund investors that are entitled to receive the clawback payment, KKR would be
entitled to seek reimbursement of approximately $90 million of that amount from Associates Holdings, which is not a KKR
subsidiary. As of March 31, 2026, Associates Holdings had access to cash reserves sufficient to reimburse the full $90 million
that would be due to KKR. If the investments in all carry-paying funds were to be liquidated at zero value, a possibility that
management views to be remote, the clawback obligation would have been approximately $5.4 billion as of March 31, 2026.
KKR will acquire control of Associates Holdings when KKR acquires its general partner upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated to occur on the Sunset Date (as defined in Note 1 "Organization"), which will occur not later than December 31,
2026.
Carried interest is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on the contractual conditions set forth
in the agreements governing the fund as if the fund were terminated and liquidated at the reporting date and the fund's
investments were realized at the then estimated fair values. Amounts earned pursuant to carried interest are earned by the
general partner of those funds to the extent that cumulative investment returns are positive and where applicable, preferred
return thresholds have been met. If these investment amounts earned decrease or turn negative in subsequent periods,
recognized carried interest will be reversed and to the extent that the aggregate amount of carry distributions received by the
general partner during the term of the fund exceed the amount to which the general partner was ultimately entitled, and a
clawback obligation would be recorded. For funds that are consolidated, this clawback obligation, if any, is reflected as an
increase in noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of financial condition. For funds that are not consolidated,
this clawback obligation, if any, is reflected as a reduction of KKR's investment balance as this is where carried interest is
initially recorded.
Indemnifications and Other Guarantees
KKR may incur contingent liabilities for claims that may be made against it in the future. KKR enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations, warranties and covenants, including indemnifications. KKR and certain of KKR's
investment funds have provided and provide certain credit support, such as indemnities and guarantees, relating to a variety
of matters, including non-recourse carve-out guarantees for fraud, willful misconduct and other wrongful acts in connection
with the financing of (i) certain real estate investments that we have made, including KKR's corporate real estate, and (ii)
certain investment vehicles that KKR manages or sponsors.
KKR also has provided, and provides, credit support in connection with its businesses, including:
i.to certain of its subsidiaries' obligations in connection with a limited number of investment vehicles that KKR
manages,
ii.in connection with repayment and funding obligations to third-party lenders on behalf of certain employees,
excluding its executive officers, in connection with their personal investments in KKR investment funds and a
levered multi-asset investment vehicle,
iii.the obligations of our subsidiaries' funding obligations to our investment vehicles, and
iv.certain of our investment vehicles to fund or otherwise be liable for a portion of their investment losses and/or
to provide them with liquidity upon certain termination events.
In addition, KKR has agreed to tender to one of its consolidated investment vehicles up to a fixed number of shares that
KKR owns in it if the net asset value of such shares is less than an agreed upon value on June 1, 2027.
87
Table of Contents
KKR may also become liable for certain fees payable to sellers of businesses or assets if a transaction does not close,
subject to certain conditions, if any, specified in the acquisition agreements for such businesses or assets.
In addition, the Global Atlantic business was formerly owned by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (together with its
subsidiaries, "Goldman Sachs"). In connection with the separation of Global Atlantic from Goldman Sachs in 2013, Global
Atlantic entered into a tax benefit payment agreement with Goldman Sachs. Under the tax benefit payment agreement,
Global Atlantic (Fin) Company ("GA FinCo"), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of TGAFG, the
holding company for the Global Atlantic business, is obligated to make annual payments out of available cash, guaranteed by
Global Atlantic Financial Group Limited, to Goldman Sachs over an approximately 25-year period. As of March 31, 2026, the
present value of the remaining amount to be paid is $44.5 million. Although these payments are subordinated and deferrable,
deferral of these payments would result in restrictions on distributions by GA FinCo and Global Atlantic Financial Group
Limited.
Unless otherwise stated above, KKR's maximum exposure under the arrangements described under this section “—
Indemnifications and Other Guarantees” are currently unknown as there are no stated or notional amounts included in these
arrangements and KKR's liabilities for these matters would require a claim to be made against KKR in the future.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, KKR is involved in various legal proceedings, requests for information, lawsuits, arbitration, and claims
incidental to the conduct of KKR's businesses. KKR's businesses are also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in
regulatory or other legal proceedings against them. Moreover, in the ordinary course of business, KKR is and can be the
defendant or the plaintiff in numerous lawsuits with respect to acquisitions, bankruptcy, insolvency and other events. Such
lawsuits may involve claims, or may be resolved on terms, that adversely affect the value of certain investments owned by
KKR's funds and Global Atlantic's insurance companies.
Kentucky Matter
In December 2017, KKR & Co. L.P. (which is now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and its then Co-Chief Executive Officers, Henry Kravis
and George Roberts, were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in Kentucky state court (the “2017 Action”) alleging, among
other things, the violation of fiduciary and other duties in connection with certain separately managed accounts that Prisma
Capital Partners LP, a former subsidiary of KKR, manages for the Kentucky Retirement Systems. Also named as defendants in
the lawsuit are certain current and former trustees and officers of the Kentucky Retirement Systems, Prisma Capital Partners
LP, and various other service providers to the Kentucky Retirement Systems and their related persons. The 2017 Action was
dismissed at the direction of the Supreme Court of Kentucky for lack of Kentucky constitutional standing. This dismissal
became final on February 16, 2024.
On July 21, 2020, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Kentucky (the "Kentucky AG"),
filed a new lawsuit in the same Kentucky state court (the “2020 AG Action”) making essentially the same allegations as those
raised in the 2017 Action, including against what was then KKR & Co. Inc. (now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and Messrs. Kravis and
Roberts. On May 1, 2024, the trial court denied motions to dismiss the 2020 AG Action filed by KKR & Co. Inc. and Messrs.
Kravis and Roberts.
On April 8, 2024, after receiving permission from the Kentucky trial court in the 2020 AG Action, the Kentucky AG
amended its complaint in the 2020 AG Action to add a claim for breach of contract. The Kentucky AG also filed an action (the
"2024 AG Action") substantially identical to the 2020 AG Action, including the new claim for breach of contract. On April 23,
2024, KKR & Co. Inc., Messrs. Kravis and Roberts and other defendants moved to strike the Kentucky AG's amended complaint
in the 2020 AG Action, to stay consideration of the breach of contract claim and the 2024 AG Action until after the trial court's
ruling on the motions to dismiss the 2020 AG Action, and to deny a motion by the Kentucky AG to consolidate the 2020 AG
Action and the 2024 AG Action. These motions were denied, and the trial court consolidated the 2020 AG Action with the
2024 AG Action. On June 17, 2024, KKR & Co. Inc., Messrs. Kravis and Roberts and other defendants filed new motions to
dismiss the consolidated 2020 AG Action and 2024 AG Action.
In January 2021, some of the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the 2017 Action filed a new lawsuit on behalf of a new set of
plaintiffs, who claim to be “Tier 3” members of Kentucky Retirement Systems (the “Tier 3 Plaintiffs”), alleging substantially the
same allegations as in the 2017 Action. On July 9, 2021, the Tier 3 Plaintiffs served an amended complaint, which purports to
assert, on behalf of a class of beneficiaries of Kentucky Retirement Systems, direct claims for breach of fiduciary duty and civil
violations under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”). This complaint was removed to the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, which has entered an order staying this case until the completion of the
2020 AG Action. On August 20, 2021, the Tier 3 Plaintiffs and other individual plaintiffs filed a second complaint in Kentucky
88
Table of Contents
state court (the “Second Tier 3 Action”), purportedly on behalf of Kentucky Retirement Systems’ funds, alleging the same
claims against what was then KKR & Co. Inc. (now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts as in the July 9th
amended complaint but without the RICO or class action allegations. On May 1, 2024, the trial court denied motions to
dismiss the Second Tier 3 Action filed by KKR & Co. Inc. and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts. On July 3, 2024, KKR & Co. Inc.,
Messrs. Kravis and Roberts and other defendants filed a writ of prohibition asking the Kentucky Court of Appeals to order the
trial court to dismiss the Second Tier 3 Action. On November 12, 2024, the Court of Appeals denied the request for a writ of
prohibition. Defendants have appealed that denial by petitioning the Kentucky Supreme Court for a writ of prohibition. The
Second Tier 3 Action is stayed pending the outcome of this petition.
On March 24, 2022, in a separate declaratory judgment action brought by the Commonwealth of Kentucky regarding the
enforceability of certain indemnification provisions available to what was then KKR & Co. Inc. (now KKR Group Co. Inc.) and
Prisma Capital Partners LP, the Kentucky state court concluded that it has personal jurisdiction over KKR & Co. Inc. in that
action, and that the indemnification provisions violated the Kentucky Constitution and were therefore unenforceable. On
December 1, 2023, the Kentucky Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s summary judgment on the issue of personal
jurisdiction over KKR & Co. Inc., but affirmed the trial court’s rulings that the indemnification provisions violated the Kentucky
Constitution and were unenforceable. On February 5, 2024, the Kentucky Court of Appeals denied the petitions of KKR & Co.
Inc. and others for rehearing. On April 8, 2024, KKR & Co. Inc. and other defendants in the declaratory judgment case filed
motions with the Supreme Court of Kentucky for discretionary review of the Court of Appeals' December 1, 2023 decision. On
August 14, 2024, the Kentucky Supreme Court granted discretionary review in the Kentucky AG’s declaratory judgment case of
both personal jurisdiction over KKR & Co. Inc. and the enforceability and constitutionality of the indemnification provisions
and, on September 22, 2025, opening briefs were filed by KKR & Co. Inc. and other defendants. The Commonwealth of
Kentucky filed its response briefs on November 21, 2025, and KKR & Co. Inc. and other defendants filed their reply briefs on
December 15, 2025.
On January 8, 2025, KKR, Messrs. Kravis and Roberts, Prisma Capital Partners L.P., and certain other defendants entered
into an agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Kentucky Public Pensions Authority, County Employees Retirement
System and Kentucky Retirement Systems (the “KPPA Entities”) to settle the 2020 AG Action and the 2024 AG Action. On May
12, 2025, the Kentucky trial court entered an order declining to enter the parties’ jointly proposed order approving the
settlement. Because the receipt of the court’s approval was a contractual condition to the settlement becoming final, the
settlement agreement terminated. KKR, Messrs. Kravis and Roberts, Prisma Capital Partners L.P., and the other defendants
that were party to the settlement agreement continue to deny any liability, wrongdoing, or damage, maintain that the
settlement was not an admission of any fault, liability, wrongdoing or damage, and maintain that they entered into the
settlement solely to avoid further legal expense, inconvenience, and the distraction of burdensome and protracted litigation.
KKR intends to continue to vigorously defend against all claims against KKR and Messrs. Kravis and Roberts.
On November 19, 2025, the Kentucky Public Pensions Authority (“KPPA”) filed a motion to intervene in the consolidated
2020 AG Action and 2024 AG Action to assert claims against KKR & Co. Inc., Prisma Capital Partners LP, and Prisma Capital
Partners LLC. On December 8, 2025, the court entered an agreed order tendered by the parties granting KPPA’s motion to
intervene and ordering that all briefing and deadlines relating to KPPA’s intervening complaint are stayed pending decision by
the Kentucky Supreme Court in the appeals arising out of the Kentucky AG’s declaratory judgment action.
Shareholder Derivative Litigation
On July 30, 2024, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court and was subsequently
amended on August 7, 2024 (first amended complaint) and further amended on August 19, 2025 (second amended
complaint). The operative second amended complaint claims, among other matters, that the Co-Founders and various current
and former executive officers and directors of KKR & Co. Inc. breached fiduciary duties and wasted corporate assets in
connection with transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Co-
Founders, certain current and former executive officers, and other senior executives of KKR received common stock from KKR.
The suit seeks to recover on behalf of KKR & Co. Inc. a cancellation of shares issued in the reorganization, monetary damages,
injunctive relief, restitution, and other remedies. KKR & Co. Inc. and other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the operative
second amended complaint on October 6, 2025. On December 18, 2025, plaintiffs filed their opposition to the motion to
dismiss the second amended complaint. Defendants filed their response on February 13, 2026.

Regulatory Matters
KKR currently is, and expects to continue to become from time to time, subject to various examinations, inquiries and
investigations by various U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies. Such examinations, inquiries and
investigations may result in the commencement of civil, criminal or administrative proceedings, or the imposition of fines,
penalties, or other remedies, against KKR and its personnel. KKR is subject to periodic examinations of its regulated businesses
by various U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, Central Bank of
Ireland, Monetary Authority of Singapore, U.S. state insurance regulatory authorities, and the Bermuda Monetary Authority.
KKR may also become subject to civil, criminal, administrative, or other inquiries or investigations (through a request for
information, civil investigative demand, subpoena or otherwise) by any of the foregoing governmental and regulatory
agencies as well as by any other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental or regulatory agency, including but not limited to the SEC, U.S.
Department of Justice ("DOJ"), U.S. state attorney generals, and similar non-U.S. governmental or regulatory agencies.
Since 2022, as previously disclosed, KKR has been subject to investigations by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ (the “DOJ”)
related to the accuracy and completeness of certain filings made by KKR pursuant to the premerger notification requirements
under the Hart‐Scott‐Rodino Act of 1976 (“HSR”) for certain transactions in 2021 and 2022. On January 14, 2025, the DOJ filed
a civil antitrust complaint (the “DOJ Complaint”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against KKR
and various KKR-sponsored investment entities (the “KKR Defendants”) alleging violations of the HSR Act. The DOJ Complaint
requests various relief for the alleged violations of the HSR Act by the KKR Defendants, including civil penalties in an amount
to be determined and various equitable relief, including potential disgorgement and injunctive relief against future violations
of the HSR Act. On January 14, 2025, KKR filed a complaint (the “KKR Complaint”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia against Doha Mekki in her official capacity as Acting Assistant Attorney General of the United States for the
Antitrust Division, the DOJ, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), and the United States of America pertaining to the HSR-
related investigations conducted by the DOJ. On January 16, 2025, KKR voluntarily dismissed the KKR Complaint filed in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and re-filed it in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York as
related to the DOJ Complaint. The KKR Complaint requests various forms of relief, including declaratory judgments that: (i)
KKR did not violate the HSR Act; (ii) the DOJ’s and FTC’s interpretations of the HSR Act are unconstitutionally vague; and (iii)
the DOJ seeks an excessive fine in violation of the U.S. Constitution. KKR intends to vigorously defend against the DOJ
Complaint and filed a motion to dismiss the DOJ Complaint on April 17, 2025. The DOJ filed its motion to dismiss the KKR
Complaint on April 23, 2025, and KKR and the DOJ agreed to dismiss one count of the KKR Complaint and to stay the rest of
the DOJ’s motion to dismiss pending resolution of KKR’s motion to dismiss the DOJ Complaint. The DOJ has continued its
investigations into certain of KKR’s past HSR filings, and KKR continues to cooperate in connection with these investigations.
The DOJ may initiate additional civil or criminal proceedings or take other actions against KKR, its employees or portfolio
companies, which could include further antitrust investigations into past HSR filings or transactions or other purported
violations of law. There can be no certainty as to the possible outcome of the DOJ Complaint, the KKR Complaint, the DOJ’s
investigations, or such other proceedings or other actions, any of which could result in a range of adverse financial and non‐
financial consequences to KKR. Even in the event that the parties are able to settle the pending litigation, it is possible that
any such settlement could involve significant monetary penalties and/or other possible remedial measures. In addition, KKR is
currently, and may from time to time become, subject to other investigations by the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and other
U.S. or non-U.S. governmental authorities related to antitrust matters, including the European Commission’s investigation
relating to the acquisition of certain infrastructure assets of Telecom Italia S.p.A. and FiberCop S.p.A. KKR is currently
cooperating in connection with these other investigations.
Loss Contingencies
KKR establishes an accrued liability for legal or regulatory proceedings only when those matters present loss
contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. KKR includes in its financial statements the amount of any
reserve for regulatory, litigation and related matters that Global Atlantic includes in its financial statements. No loss
contingency is recorded for matters where such losses are either not probable or reasonably estimable (or both) at the time
of determination. Such matters also have the possibility of resulting in losses in excess of any amounts accrued. To the extent
KKR can in any particular period estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, these decisions involve significant
judgment given that it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss for a matter is probable or even possible or to
estimate the amount of any loss in many legal, governmental and regulatory matters.
Estimating an accrued liability or a reasonably possible loss involves significant judgment due to many uncertainties,
including among others: (i) the proceeding may be in early stages; (ii) damages sought may be unspecified, unsupportable,
unexplained or uncertain; (iii) discovery may not have been started or is incomplete; (iv) there may be uncertainty as to the
outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there may be significant factual issues to be resolved; (vi) there may be novel
90
Table of Contents
legal issues or unsettled legal theories to be presented or a large number of parties; or (vii) the proceeding relates to a
regulatory examination, inquiry, or investigation. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending litigations,
arbitrations, claims, and governmental or regulatory examinations, inquiries, investigations and proceedings, and some of the
matters discussed above seek or may seek potentially large or indeterminate relief. Consequently, management is unable as
of the date of filing of this report to estimate an amount or range of reasonably possible losses related to matters pending
against KKR. In addition, any amounts accrued as loss contingencies or disclosed as reasonably possible losses may be, in part
or in whole, subject to insurance or other payments such as contributions and indemnity, which may reduce any ultimate loss.
As of the date of filing this report, management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the
outcomes of the matters pending against KKR will have a material adverse effect upon its financial statements. However,
given the potentially large and/or indeterminate relief sought or that may be sought in certain of these matters and the
inherent unpredictability of litigations, arbitrations, claims, and governmental or regulatory examinations, inquiries,
investigations and proceedings, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material adverse effect
on KKR's financial results in any future period. In addition, there can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred
from claims that have not yet been asserted or those where potential losses have not yet been determined to be probable or
possible and reasonably estimable.
Other Financing Arrangements
Global Atlantic has financing arrangements with unaffiliated third parties to support the reserves of its affiliated special
purpose reinsurers. Total fees associated with these financing arrangements were $4.7 million and $4.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and are included in insurance expenses in the consolidated statements
of operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total capacity of the financing arrangements with third
parties was $2.6 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively.
Other than the matters disclosed above, there were no outstanding or unpaid balances from the financing arrangements
with unaffiliated third parties as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Overview
KKR is a leading global investment firm that offers alternative asset management as well as capital markets and insurance
solutions. We aim to generate attractive investment returns by following a patient and disciplined investment approach,
employing world-class people, and supporting growth in our portfolio companies and communities.
Founded in 1976, KKR pioneered the leveraged buyout strategy and has been a leader of the private equity industry for
five decades. Since the inception of our firm, we have expanded our investment strategies and product offerings from
traditional private equity to other alternative asset classes such as leveraged credit, alternative credit, infrastructure, real
estate, energy, growth equity, and core private equity. Over the same period, we scaled from being a U.S.-focused firm to a
global operation with 35 offices around the world as of March 31, 2026. Our business further expanded with the acquisition of
Global Atlantic in 2021, which today conducts our insurance business providing retirement and life insurance solutions. As of
March 31, 2026, we managed $758 billion of assets under management, of which $220 billion comes from Global Atlantic.
Our three reporting segments align with the KKR business model:
Our business model of (i) Asset Management, (ii) Insurance, and (iii) Strategic Holdings corresponds to our three reporting
segments. We have purposely created a business model that we believe enables us to grow long-term, durable, recurring
earnings with a focus on large addressable markets where we can be an industry leader. Importantly, these pieces were built
to leverage our core strengths as a firm: investing acumen, capital allocation expertise and our collaborative culture.

Business Segments
Asset Management
In Asset Management, we have five business lines: (i) Private Equity, (ii) Real Assets, (iii) Credit and Liquid Strategies, (iv)
Capital Markets, and (v) Principal Activities.
Our Assets Under Management have grown and diversified in the last 15 years across Private Equity, Real Assets, and
Credit and Liquid Strategies as illustrated on the following chart. KKR has evolved from a relatively US-centric and traditional
private equity firm to a global alternative asset manager. As of December 31, 2010, our traditional Private Equity strategy
represented over 70% of our total AUM. As of March 31, 2026, traditional Private Equity was less than 25% of our total AUM.

(1)As of March 31, 2026, Alternative Credit AUM includes $92 billion of asset-based finance, $49 billion of corporate private credit (including $39 billion of
direct lending) and $8 billion of strategic investments.
(2)Real estate credit lends across the risk return spectrum of investments secured by or relating to real property, including senior mortgage loans, mezzanine
loans and mortgage-backed securities in North America and Europe. As of March 31, 2026, real estate credit AUM totals $44 billion. Real estate equity
seeks core, core+ and opportunistic real estate investment opportunities by geography: North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. As of March 31, 2026,
real estate equity AUM totals $40 billion. This includes $12 billion from the management of two publicly listed Japanese REITs through our subsidiary,
KJRM.
(3)The K-Series suite of vehicles are offered through various distribution channels to investors in the U.S. and other jurisdictions around the world. We have
K-Series vehicles that operate or invest in private equity companies, infrastructure assets, credit investments, and real estate. As of March 31, 2026, total
K-Series AUM was $38 billion, which has grown significantly over the past three years.
As an asset management firm, we earn recurring management fees and fee-related performance revenues for providing
investment management services and expertise to our institutional and individual investors who entrust us with their capital.
The amount of fees we charge for managing these assets depends on the underlying investment strategy, liquidity profile, and
ultimately our ability to generate attractive investment returns for our clients.
We earn transaction fees for providing capital markets services as a broker-dealer, and we also earn transaction and
monitoring fees as part of the management of our portfolio companies.
Carried interest that we receive from our investment vehicles entitles us to a specified percentage of investment gains
that are generated on third-party capital that is invested. We earn investment income by investing our own capital alongside
investors in our funds and other investment vehicles and from other assets we own on our balance sheet.

Operating expenses, which include occupancy expenses and other typical operating expenses, are shared across a single
expense pool given the collaborative nature of our five business lines within Asset Management.
Insurance
Our insurance business operates under the Global Atlantic brand. Global Atlantic is a leading retirement and life
insurance company, with an over 20-year track record of providing a broad suite of protection, legacy, and savings products to
customers and reinsurance solutions to clients across individual and institutional markets.
Global Atlantic primarily generates income by earning a spread between the investment income generated from
originated assets and the required cost of benefits payable to policyholders. Global Atlantic also earns fees paid by
policyholders on certain types of insurance contracts and fees paid by third-party investors, which are reported in our asset
management segment. As of March 31, 2026, Global Atlantic serves over 3.5 million policyholders.
The following table represents Global Atlantic’s new business volumes by business and product for the three months
ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||
($ in millions) | 2025 | 2026 | ||
Individual Channel (1): | ||||
Retirement Products | $3,492 | $1,591 | ||
Preneed Life | 257 | 301 | ||
Institutional Channel(2)(3) | $3,664 | $1,893 | ||
(1)New business volumes in individual markets are referred to as sales. In Global Atlantic's individual market channel, sales of annuities include all money
paid into new and existing contracts. Individual market channel sales for preneed life are based on the face amount of insurance and do not include the
recurring premiums that policyholders may pay over time.
(2)Block reinsurance transactions may be episodic and volumes may fluctuate. Similarly, funding agreements issued in the FABN program are subject to
capital markets conditions and volumes may fluctuate. Flow and pension risk transfer new business volumes typically occur throughout the year. See “—
Risks Related to Our Business—Parts of our earnings and cash flow are highly variable due to the nature of our business” in our Annual Report.
(3)New business volumes from Global Atlantic’s institutional market channel are based on the assets assumed, net of any ceding commission, and are gross
of any retrocessions to investment vehicles that participate in qualifying reinsurance transactions sourced by Global Atlantic and to other third party
reinsurers.
Strategic Holdings
Our Strategic Holdings segment, which we started reporting in the first quarter of 2024, acquires and manages interests
in operating companies that are owned by the firm. Today, those companies primarily consist of our participation in our core
private equity strategy. We have acquired, and in the future we expect to continue to acquire, other long-term assets outside
of, and in addition to, our participation in our core private equity strategy. Strategic Holdings is not limited to acquiring
companies in specific industries. We intend to hold the companies in our Strategic Holdings segment over a longer period of
time, and we believe most of these companies generally have a lower risk profile than would be typical for an investment
through our traditional private equity strategy. We currently expect our Strategic Holdings segment primarily to generate
income from the receipt of dividends from our ownership stakes in these businesses and, upon the sale of any ownership
stake, realized investment income from such sale. As of March 31, 2026, our Strategic Holdings segment consisted of our
ownership stakes in 19 companies.
The fees and carried interest paid by the third party investors in our core private equity funds continue to be reported in
our Asset Management segment and are not reported in our Strategic Holdings segment. Our Asset Management segment
charges a quarterly management fee in our Strategic Holdings segment. Additionally, our Asset Management segment charges
a performance fee from the sale of our interests in the companies included in our Strategic Holdings segment. The
management and performance fees are charged in order to represent the cost of providing advisory services by our Asset
Management segment rather than determining the allocable costs borne by our Asset Management segment to support our
Strategic Holdings segment.

Business Environment
Our asset management, insurance, and strategic holdings segments are affected by the various market and economic
conditions of the various countries and regions in which we operate. Market and economic conditions are expected to
continue to have a substantial impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and our business in various ways that
we are unable to control, including our ability to make new investments, the valuations of the investments we manage, the
amount of investment proceeds we realize when we exit our investments, the timing for such realization activity, our ability to
fundraise or to sell our various investment and insurance products and services, and the level of our capital markets activities,
as discussed in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report.
The United States, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, continued to experience economic growth in tandem
with inflation in excess of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s 2.0% target rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2026,
the U.S. Federal Reserve Board left the federal funds rate unchanged.
Real gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth in the Eurozone during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was
moderately positive. In Europe during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the European Central Bank maintained
interest rates at the same level as for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, leaving the deposit rate unchanged at 2.0% as
Eurozone core inflation remained slightly above the European Central Bank’s 2% inflation target.
In Asia, Japan’s economy experienced moderate growth in the first quarter of 2026, supported by resilient exports and
consumer spending. The Bank of Japan left interest rates flat during the three months ended March 31, 2026, leaving its
policy rate at 0.75%. In China, the economy grew during the three months ended March 31, 2026, driven largely by strong
exports and industrial production, but continued to face headwinds, including weak domestic demand and ongoing
contraction in the property sector.

Several key financial market indicators in the United States and in other countries and regions in which we operate
include:
•Equity Markets. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the S&P 500 was down -4.3%, the MSCI Europe Index
was down -2.7%, the MSCI Asia Pacific Index was up 0.1% and the MSCI World Index was down -3.5% in U.S. dollar
terms, on a total return basis including dividends. Equity market volatility as evidenced by the Chicago Board Options
Exchange Market Volatility Index (VIX), a measure of volatility, ended at 25.3 as of March 31, 2026, increasing from
15.0 as of December 31, 2025.
•Credit Markets. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, U.S. investment grade corporate bond spreads

the Japanese yen fell 1.3%, and the Chinese renminbi rose 1.4%, respectively, relative to the U.S. dollar.
The United States and countries around the world have experienced elevated levels of market volatility and uncertainty
driven by, among other things, geopolitical and global trade concerns, including, the imposition of tariffs and threats of tariffs
by the United States on certain of its trading partners since April 2025 and impacts from the recent conflicts in the Middle
East. This volatility and uncertainty add to the various risks and uncertainties in the business environment in which we
operate and may have various impacts, including on the valuations of certain of our investment vehicles' investments, the
pace and volume of our capital market transactions, deployments, and realizations, and our fundraising activities.

Other Trends, Uncertainties and Risks Related to Our Business
Please refer to the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report for important additional detail regarding risks,
uncertainties, and other conditions that could have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on our businesses, including
the impact of market and economic conditions on valuations of investments and the impact of competition we face. These
risks, uncertainties, and other conditions should be read in conjunction with this Business Environment section and the entire
Risk Factor section of our Annual Report. In particular, see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Global, regional and
local events outside of our control, including geopolitical events and natural disasters, could materially and adversely impact
KKR", "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We operate in a highly competitive industry,” "Risk Factors—Risks
Related to Our Investment Activities—Various conditions and events outside of our control that are difficult to quantify or

Activities—We operate in a highly competitive industry."
Basis of Accounting and Key Financial Measures under GAAP
We manage our business using certain financial measures and key operating metrics since we believe these metrics
measure the productivity of our operating activities. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See Note 2 “ Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies” in our financial statements and “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained in this section
below. Our key Segment and non-GAAP financial measures and operating metrics are discussed below.
Key Segment and Non-GAAP Performance Measures
The following key segment and non-GAAP performance measures are used by management in making operational and
resource deployment decisions as well as assessing the performance of KKR's business. They include certain financial
measures that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. These performance
measures as described below are presented prior to giving effect to the allocation of income (loss) between KKR & Co. Inc.
and holders of exchangeable securities and as such represent the entire KKR business in total. In addition, these performance
measures are presented without giving effect to the consolidation of certain investment funds and collateralized financing
entities ("CFEs") that KKR manages.
We believe that providing these segment and non-GAAP performance measures on a supplemental basis to our GAAP
results is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall performance of KKR's business. These non-GAAP measures should
not be considered as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-
GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP,
where applicable, are included under "—Segment Balance Sheet Measures—Reconciliations to GAAP Measures."
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income ("ANI") is a performance measure of KKR’s earnings, which is derived from KKR’s reported segment
results. ANI is used to assess the performance of KKR’s business operations and measures the earnings potentially available
for distribution to its equity holders or reinvestment into its business. ANI is equal to Total Segment Earnings less Interest
Expense, Net and Other and Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings. Interest Expense, Net and Other includes (i) interest expense
on debt obligations not attributable to any particular segment and (ii) cumulative dividend expense on the Series D
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, net of interest income earned on cash and short-term investments. Income Taxes on
Adjusted Earnings represents the amount of income taxes that would be paid assuming that all adjusted earnings were
allocated to KKR & Co. Inc. and taxed at the same effective rate, which assumes that all securities exchangeable into shares of
common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. were exchanged. The economic assumptions and methodologies that impact Income taxes on
Adjusted Earnings are similar to those used in calculating the current income tax provision under U.S. GAAP. Equity based
compensation expense is excluded from ANI, because (i) KKR believes that the cost of equity awards granted to employees
does not contribute to the earnings potentially available for distributions to its equity holders or reinvestment into its
business and (ii) excluding this expense makes KKR’s reporting metric more comparable to the corresponding metric
presented by other publicly traded companies in KKR’s industry, which KKR believes enhances an investor’s ability to compare
KKR’s performance to these other companies. Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings includes the benefit of tax deductions
arising from equity-based compensation, which reduces Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings during the period. If tax
deductions from equity-based compensation were to be excluded from Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings, KKR’s ANI would
be lower and KKR’s effective tax rate would appear to be higher, even though a lower amount of income taxes would have

actually been paid or payable during the period. KKR separately discloses the amount of tax deduction from equity-based
compensation for the period reported and the effect of its inclusion in ANI for the period. KKR makes these adjustments when
calculating ANI in order to more accurately reflect the net realized earnings that are expected to be or become available for
distribution to KKR’s equity holders or reinvestment into KKR’s business. However, ANI does not represent and is not used to
calculate actual dividends under KKR’s dividend policy, which is a fixed amount per period, and ANI should not be viewed as a
measure of KKR’s liquidity.
Total Segment Earnings
Total Segment Earnings is a performance measure that KKR believes is useful to stockholders as it provides a
supplemental measure of our operating performance without taking into account items that KKR does not believe arise from
or relate directly to KKR's operations. Total Segment Earnings excludes: (i) equity-based compensation charges, (ii)
amortization of acquired intangibles, and (iii) transaction-related and non-operating items, if any. Transaction-related and
non-operating items primarily arise from corporate actions, which consist of: (i) impairments, (ii) transaction costs from
acquisitions, including any acquisition-related stock consideration, (iii) depreciation on real estate that KKR owns and
occupies, (iv) contingent liabilities, net of any recoveries, (v) certain integration, restructuring, and other non-operating
expenses, and (vi) other gains or charges that affect period-to-period comparability and are not reflective of KKR's ongoing
operational performance. Inter-segment transactions are not eliminated from segment results when management considers
those transactions in assessing the results of the respective segments. These transactions include (i) management fees earned
by our Asset Management segment as the investment adviser for Global Atlantic insurance companies, (ii) management and
performance fees earned by our Asset Management segment for acquiring and managing the companies included in our
Strategic Holdings segment, and (iii) interest income and expense based on lending arrangements where our Asset
Management segment borrows from our Insurance segment. All these inter-segment transactions are recorded by each
segment based on the applicable governing agreements. Additionally, due to the integrated nature of our segment operations
and as part of our strategic capital allocation decisions, inter-segment asset transfers have and may continue to occur. In
these cases in segment reporting, the assets are transferred at their fair value, and no realization is recognized at the time of
transfer. Earnings are recognized upon realization events and transactions with third parties. Total Segment Earnings
represents the total segment earnings of KKR’s Asset Management, Insurance and Strategic Holdings segments.
Asset Management Segment Earnings
Asset management segment earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to
assess the performance of the Asset Management segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised
of: (i) Fee Related Earnings, (ii) Realized Performance Income, (iii) Realized Performance Income Compensation, (iv) Realized
Investment Income, and (v) Realized Investment Income Compensation. Asset Management Segment Earnings excludes the
impact of: (i) unrealized gains (losses) on investments, (ii) unrealized carried interest, and (iii) unrealized carried interest
compensation. Management fees earned by KKR as the adviser, manager or sponsor for its investment funds, vehicles and
accounts, including its Global Atlantic insurance companies and Strategic Holdings segment, are included in Asset
Management Segment Earnings.
Insurance Operating Earnings
Insurance Operating Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess the
performance of the Insurance segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised of: (i) Net
Investment Income, (ii) Net Cost of Insurance, and (iii) General, Administrative, and Other Expenses. Insurance Operating
Earnings excludes the impact of: (i) investment gains (losses) which include realized gains (losses) related to asset/liability
matching investment strategies and unrealized investment gains (losses) and (ii) non-operating changes in policy liabilities and
derivatives which includes (a) changes in the fair value of market risk benefits and other policy liabilities measured at fair
value and related benefit payments, (b) fees attributed to guaranteed benefits, (c) derivatives used to manage the risks
associated with policy liabilities, and (d) losses at contract issuance on payout annuities. Insurance Operating Earnings
includes (i) realized gains and losses not related to asset/liability matching investment strategies and (ii) the investment
management costs that are earned by our Asset Management segment as the investment adviser of the Global Atlantic
insurance companies.
Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings
Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings is the segment profitability measure used to make operating decisions and to assess
the performance of the Strategic Holdings segment. This measure is presented before income taxes and is comprised of:
98
Table of Contents
Dividends, Net and Net Realized Investment Income. Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings excludes the impact of unrealized
gains (losses) on investments. Strategic Holdings Segment Earnings includes management fees and performance fee expenses
that are earned by the Asset Management segment.
Fee Related Earnings
Fee related earnings is a performance measure used to assess the Asset Management segment’s generation of earnings
from revenues that are measured and received on a more recurring basis as compared to KKR’s investing earnings. KKR
believes this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the profitability of our fee generating asset
management and capital markets businesses. FRE equals (i) Management Fees, including fees paid by the Insurance and
Strategic Holdings segments to the Asset Management segment and fees paid by Ivy vehicles and other reinsurance vehicles,
(ii) Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net and (iii) Fee Related Performance Revenues, less (x) Fee Related Compensation, and
(y) Other Operating Expenses.
Fee Related Performance Revenues refers to the realized portion of performance fees from certain AUM that has an
indefinite term and for which there is no immediate requirement to return invested capital to investors upon the realization
of investments. Fee related performance revenues consists of performance fees (i) expected to be received from our
investment funds, vehicles and accounts on a recurring basis, and (ii) that are not dependent on a realization event involving
investments held by the investment fund, vehicle or account.
Fee Related Compensation refers to the compensation expense, excluding equity-based compensation, paid from (i)
Management Fees, (ii) Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net, and (iii) Fee Related Performance Revenues.
Other Operating Expenses represents the sum of (i) occupancy and related charges and (ii) other operating expenses.
Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings
Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings is a performance measure used to assess the firm’s earnings from companies and
businesses reported through its Strategic Holdings segment. Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings currently consists of
earnings derived from dividends that the firm receives from businesses acquired through the firm’s participation in our core
private equity strategy. Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings currently equals dividends less management fees that are
earned by our Asset Management segment. This measure is used by management to assess the Strategic Holdings segment’s
generation of earnings from revenues that are measured and received on a more recurring basis than, and are not dependent
on, realizations from investment activities.
Total Operating Earnings
Total Operating Earnings is a performance measure that represents the sum of (i) FRE, (ii) Insurance Operating Earnings,
and (iii) Strategic Holdings Operating Earnings. KKR believes this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional
insight into the profitability of the most recurring forms of earnings from each of KKR’s segments as compared to investing
earnings.
Total Investing Earnings
Total Investing Earnings is a performance measure that represents the sum of (i) Net Realized Performance Income and
(ii) Net Realized Investment Income. KKR believes this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into
the earnings of KKR’s segments from the realization of investments.
Total Asset Management Segment Revenues
Total Asset Management Segment Revenues is a performance measure that represents the realized revenues of the Asset
Management segment (which excludes unrealized carried interest and unrealized gains (losses) on investments) and is the
sum of (i) Management Fees, (ii) Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net, (iii) Fee Related Performance Revenues, (iv) Realized
Performance Income, and (v) Realized Investment Income. Asset Management Segment Revenues excludes Realized
Investment Income earned based on the performance of businesses presented in the Strategic Holdings segment. KKR
believes that this performance measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into all forms of realized
revenues generated by our Asset Management segment.

Key Operating and Capital Metrics
Assets Under Management
Assets under management represent the assets managed (including core private equity), advised or sponsored by KKR
from which KKR is entitled to receive management fees or performance income (currently or upon a future event), general
partner capital, and assets managed, advised or sponsored by our strategic BDC partnership and the hedge fund and other
managers in which KKR holds an ownership interest. We believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides
additional insight into the capital raising activities of KKR and its hedge fund and other managers and the overall activity in
their investment funds and other managed or sponsored capital. KKR calculates the amount of AUM as of any date as the sum
of: (i) the fair value of the investments of KKR's investment funds and certain co-investment vehicles; (ii) uncalled capital
commitments from these funds, including uncalled capital commitments from which KKR is currently not earning
management fees or performance income; (iii) the asset value of the Global Atlantic insurance companies; (iv) the par value of
outstanding CLOs; (v) KKR's pro rata portion of the AUM of hedge fund and other managers in which KKR holds an ownership
interest; (vi) all of the AUM of KKR's strategic BDC partnership; (vii) the acquisition cost of invested assets of certain non-US
real estate investment trusts and (viii) the value of other assets managed or sponsored by KKR. The pro rata portion of the
AUM of hedge fund and other managers is calculated based on KKR’s percentage ownership interest in such entities
multiplied by such entity’s respective AUM. KKR's definition of AUM (i) is not based on any definition of AUM that may be set
forth in the governing documents of the investment funds, vehicles, accounts or other entities whose capital is included in this
definition, (ii) includes assets for which KKR does not act as an investment adviser, and (iii) is not calculated pursuant to any
regulatory definitions.
Capital Invested
Capital invested is the aggregate amount of capital invested by (i) KKR’s investment funds (including core private equity)
and Global Atlantic insurance companies, (ii) KKR's Principal Activities business line as a co-investment, if any, alongside KKR’s
investment funds, and (iii) KKR's Principal Activities business line in connection with a syndication transaction conducted by
KKR's Capital Markets business line, if any. Capital invested is used as a measure of investment activity at KKR during a given
period. We believe this measure is useful to stockholders as it provides a measure of capital deployment across KKR’s business
lines. Capital invested includes investments made using investment financing arrangements like credit facilities, as applicable.
Capital invested excludes (i) investments in certain leveraged credit strategies, (ii) capital invested by KKR’s Principal Activities
business line that is not a co-investment alongside KKR’s investment funds, and (iii) capital invested by KKR’s Principal
Activities business line that is not invested in connection with a syndication transaction by KKR’s Capital Markets business line.
Capital syndicated by KKR's Capital Markets business line to third parties other than KKR’s investment funds or Principal
Activities business line is not included in capital invested.
Fee Paying AUM
Fee paying AUM represents only the AUM from which KKR is entitled to receive management fees. We believe this
measure is useful to stockholders as it provides additional insight into the capital base upon which KKR earns management
fees. FPAUM is the sum of all of the individual fee bases that are used to calculate management fees and differs from AUM in
the following respects: (i) assets and commitments from which KKR is not entitled to receive a management fee are excluded
(e.g., assets and commitments with respect to which it is entitled to receive only performance income or is otherwise not
currently entitled to receive a management fee) and (ii) certain assets, primarily in its private equity funds, are reflected based
on capital commitments and invested capital as opposed to fair value because fees are not impacted by changes in the fair
value of underlying investments.
Uncalled Commitments
Uncalled commitments is the aggregate amount of unfunded capital commitments that KKR’s investment funds and
carry-paying co-investment vehicles (including core private equity) have received from fund investors to contribute capital to
fund future investments, and the amount of uncalled commitments is not reduced by capital invested using borrowings under
an investment fund’s subscription facility until capital is called from our fund investors. We believe this measure is useful to
stockholders as it provides additional insight into the amount of capital that is available to KKR’s investment funds and carry
paying co-investment vehicles to make future investments. Uncalled commitments are not reduced for investments
completed using fund-level investment financing arrangements or investments we have committed to make but remain
unfunded at the reporting date.

Analysis of Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations (GAAP Basis - Unaudited)
The following is a discussion of our condensed consolidated results of operations on a GAAP basis for the three months
ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the financial statements and related
notes included elsewhere in this report. For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affected our segment results in
these periods, see "—Analysis of Segment Operating Results." See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and "—Business
Environment" in this report for more information about risks, uncertainties, and other market and economic conditions that
may impact our business, financial performance, operating results, and valuations.
Effective beginning in the first quarter of 2026, KKR has modified the presentation of certain operating expenses in its
consolidated statements of operations. Amounts previously presented separately as “Insurance Expenses” and “General,
Administrative and Other” are now presented in a single line item, “Policy and Other Operating Expense”. Prior-period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. This change in presentation had no impact on
previously reported consolidated total expenses, income before taxes, and net income attributable to KKR.

Fees and Other
Total Fees and Other for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2025, primarily as a result of an increase in management fees and to a lesser extent incentive fees, which were
partially offset by a decrease in transaction fees.
For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affected our transaction fees during the period, see "—Analysis of Asset
Management Segment Operating Results."
The increase in management fees was primarily attributable to (i) management fees commencing at North America Fund
XIV in the second quarter of 2025, (ii) management fees earned on new capital raised over the past twelve months by our
private equity and infrastructure K-Series vehicles, and (iii) management fees earned on new capital raised over the past
twelve months at Global Infrastructure Investors V. The increase was partially offset by (i) a decrease in management fees
earned from North America Fund XIII as a result of entering its post-investment period in the second quarter of 2025 and now
paying fees based on invested capital rather than committed capital and at a lower fee rate, and (ii) a decrease in
management fees earned from Americas Fund XII due to a step-down in the management fee rate in the third quarter of
2025.
Management fees due from consolidated investment funds and other investment vehicles are eliminated upon
consolidation under GAAP. However, because these amounts are funded by, and earned from, noncontrolling interests, upon
consolidation under GAAP, KKR's allocated share of the net income from the consolidated investment funds and other
investment vehicles is increased by the amount of fees that are eliminated. Accordingly, net income (loss) attributable to KKR
would be unchanged if such investment funds and other investment vehicles were not consolidated. For a more detailed
discussion on the factors that affect our management fees during the period, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment
Operating Results."
Fee credits increased compared to the prior period as a result of (i) a higher level of transaction fees in our Private Equity
business line and (ii) a higher level of monitoring fees in our Private Equity and Real Assets business lines. Fee credits owed to
consolidated investment funds and other investment vehicles are eliminated upon consolidation under GAAP. However,
because these amounts are owed to noncontrolling interests, upon consolidation under GAAP, KKR's allocated share of the
net income from the consolidated investment funds and other investment vehicles is decreased by the amount of fee credits
that are eliminated. Accordingly, net income (loss) attributable to KKR would be unchanged if such investment funds and
other investment vehicles were not consolidated. Transaction and monitoring fees earned from KKR portfolio companies are
not eliminated upon consolidation because those fees are earned from companies which are not consolidated. Furthermore,
transaction fees earned in our capital markets business are not shared with fund investors. Accordingly, certain transaction
fees are reflected in our revenues without a corresponding fee credit.
Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss)
Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was positive primarily due to the net
appreciation of the underlying investments in many of our unconsolidated carry-earning investment vehicles, most notably
Global Impact Fund II, our private equity and infrastructure K-Series vehicles, and Asian Fund IV. Capital Allocation-Based
Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was positive primarily due to the net appreciation of the
underlying investments in many of our unconsolidated carry-earning investment vehicles, most notably Asian Fund IV, North
America Fund XIII, and Global Infrastructure Fund IV.
KKR calculates the carried interest that would be due to KKR for each investment fund, pursuant to the fund agreements,
as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of the reporting date, irrespective of whether such amounts
have been realized. Since the fair value of the underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to
make adjustments to the amounts recorded as carried interest to reflect either (i) positive performance, resulting in an
increase in the carried interest allocated to the general partner or (ii) negative performance that would cause the amount due
to KKR to be less than the amount previously recognized, resulting in a negative adjustment to carried interest allocated to
the general partner. In each case, it is necessary to calculate the carried interest on cumulative results compared to the
carried interest recorded to date and to make the required positive or negative adjustments.

Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities
Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026
The net losses from investment activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were comprised of net realized
gains of $106.5 million and net unrealized losses of $(422.9) million. See Note 4 "Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities
– Asset Management and Strategic Holdings" in our financial statements for detail of net gains and losses from Investment
Activities by asset class.
Investment gains and losses relating to our general partner capital interest in our unconsolidated funds are not reflected
in our discussion and analysis of Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities. Our economics associated with these
investment gains and losses are reflected in Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss) as described above.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net gains (losses) from investment activities were driven primarily by (i)
mark-to-market losses on our investment in Barracuda Networks, Inc. (technology sector) and PetVet Care Centers, LLC
(healthcare sector), (ii) mark-to-market losses on certain investments held in consolidated CLOs, and (iii) mark-to-market
losses at certain consolidated credit funds. These mark-to-market losses were partially offset by (i) mark-to-market gains on
our investment in 1-800 Contacts, Inc. (health care sector) and USI, Inc. (financial services sector) and (ii) mark-to-market
gains on certain foreign exchange forward contracts.
Net investment gains (losses) for each asset class are influenced by the valuation methodology applied to each asset, as
well as factors specific to each investment. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net investment gains (losses) were
primarily generated in the following asset classes:
•Private Equity (including core private equity), which were primarily impacted by a mix of the operating performance
of certain portfolio companies and market multiples changes across various sectors. Changes in market multiples
varied across regions and sectors used in the market comparables methodology for the valuation of Level III
investments; and
•Real Assets, which primarily benefited from the overall positive operating performance of certain infrastructure and
energy assets. Changes in market multiples varied across regions and sectors used in the market comparables
methodology for the valuation of Level III investments.
See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and "—Business Environment" for more information about the factors that may
impact our business, financial performance, operating results, and valuation.
Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025
The net gains from investment activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were comprised of net realized
gains of $70.2 million and net unrealized gains of $1,016.4 million. See Note 4 "Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities -
Asset Management and Strategic Holdings" in our financial statements for detail of realized and unrealized gains and losses
from Investment Activities by asset class.
Investment gains and losses relating to our general partner capital interest in our unconsolidated funds are not reflected
in our discussion and analysis of Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities. Our economics associated with these
investment gains and losses are reflected in Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss) as described above.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net gains (losses) from investment activities were driven primarily by mark-
to-market gains primarily relating to our investments in USI, Inc. and IVI-RMA Global, S.L. (health care sector), and PO
Söderberg & Partner Holding AB (financial services sector). These mark-to-market gains were partially offset by mark-to-
market losses primarily relating to our investment in PetVet Care Centers, LLC and on certain investments held in consolidated
CLOs.
The factors that affect each investment strategy vary depending on the nature of the asset class and the valuation
methodology employed. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net investment gains (losses) were primarily generated
in the following asset classes:
•Private Equity (including core private equity), which were primarily impacted by overall positive operating
performance of certain portfolio companies. Changes in market multiples varied across regions and sectors used in
the market comparables methodology for the valuation of Level III investments; and
104
Table of Contents
•Infrastructure, which primarily benefited from the overall positive operating performance of certain infrastructure
assets, partially offset by slightly higher cost of capital assumptions. Changes in market multiples varied across
regions and sectors used in the market comparables methodology for the valuation of Level III investments.
Dividend Income
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, dividend income was primarily from (i) our investment in USI, Inc.
(financial services sector) and (ii) various investments in certain of our consolidated opportunistic real estate equity funds.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, dividend income was primarily from (i) our investments in Atlantic Aviation
FBO Inc. (infrastructure: transportation sector) and Grupo Alvic FR Mobiliario (retail sector) and (ii) various investments in
certain of our consolidated opportunistic real estate equity funds.
Significant dividends from portfolio companies and consolidated funds are generally not recurring quarterly dividends,
and while they may occur in the future, their size and frequency are variable. For a discussion of other factors that affected
KKR's dividend income, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results."
Interest Income
The decrease in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2025, was primarily due to (i) the impact of lower market interest rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing
Rate (“SOFR”), during the current period on floating rate credit investments held in consolidated CLOs and certain of our
consolidated alternative credit funds and (ii) investment monetizations at certain consolidated alternative credit funds
subsequent to March 31, 2025. The decrease was partially offset by the impact of closing CLOs that are consolidated
subsequent to March 31, 2025. For a discussion of other factors that affected KKR's interest income, see "—Analysis of Asset
Management Segment Operating Results."
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2025, was primarily due to (i) the impact of closing CLOs that were consolidated subsequent to March 31, 2025,
and (ii) an increase in the amount of borrowings outstanding. The increase was partially offset by a decrease due to the
impact of lower market interest rates, such as SOFR, during the current period on floating rate debt obligations held in
consolidated CLOs and at certain consolidated funds and other investment vehicles. For a discussion of other factors that
affected KKR's interest expense, see "—Key Segment and Non-GAAP Performance Measures."
Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
The decrease in compensation and benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to a lower level of accrued carried interest compensation driven by a lower
level of carried interest income earned in the current period.
Occupancy and Related Charges
The increase in occupancy and related charges during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to new office leases commencing subsequent to March 31, 2025.
General, Administrative and Other
The increase in general, administrative and other expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to a higher level of expenses reimbursable from our investment
funds and a higher level of information technology and corporate general and administrative costs.

Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, revenues consisted of the following:
Three Months Ended | |||||
($ in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2025 | Change | ||
Net Premiums | $561,970 | $323,364 | $238,606 | ||

Total Insurance Revenues | $2,289,288 | $1,064,268 | $1,225,020 | ||
Net Premiums
Net premiums increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31,
2025, primarily due to an increase in new premiums earned on assumed flow payout annuities and direct pension risk transfer
in the institutional market channel, and preneed insurance products in the individual market channel (all with either life
contingencies or morbidity risk.) Initial premiums from new business are generally offset by a comparable change in policy
reserves reported within net policy benefits and claims (as discussed below under “Expenses—Net policy benefits and
claims”).
Net Investment Income
Net investment income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) increased average assets under management due to growth in assets in the institutional
and individual market channels as a result of the cumulative impact of new business volumes in the preceding twelve months,
and (ii) an increase in average portfolio yields due to portfolio rotation into higher yielding fixed maturity debt securities, and
investment in alternative asset classes, such as real assets.
Net Investment-Related Gains (Losses)
The components of net investment-related gains (losses) were as follows:

Net Gains (Losses) on Derivative Instruments
The increase in the fair value of embedded derivatives on funds withheld at interest payable for the three months ended
March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by the changes in the fair value of the underlying investments in the funds withheld at
interest payable portfolio, which is primarily comprised of fixed maturity securities (designated as trading for accounting
purposes), mortgage and other loan receivables, and real asset investments. The underlying investments in the funds
106
Table of Contents
withheld at interest payable portfolio decreased in value during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and increased during
the three months ended March 31, 2025, resulting in, respectively a gain and a loss on the related embedded derivative. The
changes in fair value of the underlying portfolios are primarily due to market interest changes – during the three months
ended March 31, 2026, market interest rates generally increased (for example, yields on 10 and 30-year U.S. Treasury
securities were generally higher in absolute terms and increased during the period). In contrast, during the three months
ended March 31, 2025, market interest rates generally decreased (for example, yields on 10 and 30-year U.S. Treasury
securities were generally lower in absolute terms, and declining during the period).
The decrease in the fair value of interest rate contracts was primarily driven by an increase in market interest rates during
the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to a decrease in market interest rates during the three months ended
March 31, 2025, resulting in a loss on interest rate contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to a
gain on interest rate contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The increase in the fair value of foreign exchange and other derivative contracts was primarily driven by (i) an
appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro and British pound during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as
compared to a depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro and British pound during the three months ended March 31,
2025, and (ii) an increase in the notional amount of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.
The increase in the fair value of equity index options was primarily driven by the performance of the underlying indices.
Global Atlantic purchases equity index options to hedge the market risk of embedded derivatives in indexed universal life and
fixed-indexed annuity products (the change in which is accounted for in net policy benefits and claims). The majority of Global
Atlantic's equity index options are based on the S&P 500 Index, which decreased during both the three months ended March
31, 2026 and 2025. In addition, the average notional amount of equity market contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2026,
increased as compared to March 31, 2025.
Net Other Investment Gains (Losses)
The components of net other investment gains (losses) were as follows:

Net Other Investment-Related Gains (Losses) | $(618,249) | $(776,757) | $158,508 | ||
The increase in net other investment-related gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to a decrease in realized losses on available-for-sale fixed
maturity securities due to a decrease in portfolio repositioning trades during the current quarter. Offsetting this increase was
(i) a decrease in unrealized gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities classified as trading due to an increase in market interest
rates during the quarter, (ii) an increase in credit loss allowances on mortgage and other loan receivables and available-for-
sale fixed maturity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2026, (iii) a decrease in foreign exchange gains
107
Table of Contents
(losses) on non-USD denominated investments due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro and British pound
during three months ended March 31, 2026, and an increase in the notional amount of non-USD denominated investments
(largely offset by the change in foreign exchange derivative contracts noted above under “Net Gains (Losses) on Derivative
Instruments”), and (vi) a decrease in unrealized gains (losses) on investments accounted under a fair value option and real
assets, primarily due to unfavorable changes in the related market segment multiples.
Expenses
Net Policy Benefits and Claims
Net policy benefits and claims increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) an increase in new business flows from assumed flow payout annuities, direct
pension risk transfer, and preneed insurance products (all with either life contingencies or morbidity risk) in the three months
ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, and (ii) higher average funding costs due to
higher crediting rates and the ordinary-course run-off of older business originated in a low interest rate environment.
The above increases in net policy benefits and claims were offset in part by (i) a decrease in market risk benefits losses for
the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was largely driven
by an increase in long-term market interest rates (such as yields on 10- and 30-year U.S Treasury securities) and wider credit
spreads for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to a decrease in long-term market interest rates and
narrower credit spreads during the three months ended March 31, 2025, (ii) the change in the value of embedded derivatives
in Global Atlantic’s fixed indexed annuity products; (As discussed above under "—Consolidated Results of Operations (GAAP
Basis)—Revenues—Net investment-related gains (losses)", Global Atlantic purchases equity index options in order to hedge
this risk, the fair value changes of which are accounted for in gains (losses) on derivative instruments, and generally offsets
the change in embedded derivative fair value reported in net policy benefits and claims), and (iii) the non-recurrence of
unfavorable impacts related to the assumption review for the three months ended March 31, 2025 described below.
The assumptions on which reserves, deferred revenue and expenses are based are intended to represent an estimate of
the benefits that are expected to be payable to, and fees or premiums that are expected to be collectible from, policyholders
in future periods. Global Atlantic reviews the adequacy of its reserves, deferred revenue and expenses, and the assumptions
underlying those items at least annually, usually in the third quarter, referred to as an “assumption review.” For the three
months ended March 31, 2025, there was a net unfavorable assumption review impact of $42.3 million on income before
taxes, which was primarily due to a change in the activation assumption related to certain benefit riders on fixed-indexed
annuities.
Amortization of Policy Acquisition Costs
Amortization of policy acquisition costs increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) an increase in amortization of cost-of-reinsurance assets, and (ii) an
increase in amortization of deferred acquisition costs primarily driven by acquisition costs deferred and amortized due to
growth in annuity and preneed insurance new business volumes.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in total debt outstanding.
Policy and Other Operating Expense
Policy and other operating expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) an increase in compensation expense, (ii) an increase in amortization of
certain insurance distribution intangibles, and (iii) an increase in administrative and professional fees. Offsetting these
increases was a decrease in commission expense due to a decrease in individual channel new business volumes, primarily in
fixed-rate annuities, as compared against the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax expense was $185 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $87 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate also increased and was primarily driven by the impact of noncontrolling
interests, the income (loss) of which is not subject to taxes that are payable by KKR & Co. Inc. and its subsidiaries. As reported
in Note 18 "Income Taxes" the calculation of the effective tax rate of 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
includes the impact of investment losses attributable to noncontrolling interest holders. For a discussion of factors that
impacted KKR's tax provision, see Note 18 "Income Taxes" in our financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests relates primarily to net income (loss) attributable
to third-party limited partner interests in consolidated investment funds and other investment vehicles when the
noncontrolling interests have redemption features that are not solely within the control of KKR. Net income (loss) attributable
to redeemable noncontrolling interests decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to net losses from investment activities at these consolidated investment funds
and other investment vehicles.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests relates primarily to net income (loss) attributable to (i) non-
redeemable third-party limited partner interests in consolidated investment funds and other investment vehicles and (ii)
exchangeable securities representing ownership interests in KKR Group Partnership until they are exchanged for common
stock of KKR & Co. Inc. Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased for the three months ended March
31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to net losses from investment activities at
certain of our consolidated investment funds and other investment vehicles.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to KKR & Co. Inc.
Net income (loss) attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was net positive as
compared to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) a lower level of insurance investment-
related losses and (ii) a higher level of asset management fee related income, which were partially offset by (i) a lower level of
capital allocation-based income from our asset management business and (ii) mark-to-market investment-related losses
attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. from our asset management and strategic holdings activities.
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition (GAAP Basis - Unaudited)
Please see our consolidated statements of financial condition on a GAAP basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31,
2025 in our financial statements included in this report.
KKR & Co. Inc. Stockholders’ Equity - Common Stock decreased from December 31, 2025 primarily due to (i) unrealized
losses on available for sale securities from Global Atlantic that are recorded in other comprehensive income, (ii) dividends to
common and preferred stockholders, and (iii) common stock repurchases, which were partially offset by net income
attributable to KKR & Co. Inc. common stockholders.
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (GAAP Basis - Unaudited)
The following is a discussion of our consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. You
should read this discussion in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
The consolidated statements of cash flows include the cash flows of our consolidated entities, which include certain
consolidated investment funds, CLOs and certain variable interest entities formed by Global Atlantic notwithstanding the fact
that we may hold only a minority economic interest in those investment funds and CFEs. The assets of our consolidated
investment funds and CFEs, on a gross basis, can be substantially larger than the assets of our business and, accordingly, could
have a substantial effect on the cash flows reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The primary cash flow
109
Table of Contents
activities of our consolidated funds and CFEs involve: (i) capital contributions from fund investors; (ii) using the capital of fund
investors to make investments; (iii) financing certain investments with indebtedness; (iv) generating cash flows through the
realization of investments; and (v) distributing cash flows from the realization of investments to fund investors. Because our
consolidated investment funds are treated as investment companies for accounting purposes, certain of these cash flow
amounts are included in our cash flows from operations.
Net Cash Provided (Used) by Operating Activities
Our net cash provided (used) by operating activities was $1.7 billion and $2.5 billion during the three months ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our operating activities primarily included: (i) investments purchased (asset
management and strategic holdings), net of proceeds from investments (asset management and strategic holdings) of
$(0.2) billion and $(0.4) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, (ii) net realized gains
(losses) on investments (asset management and strategic holdings) of $106.5 million and $70.2 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, (iii) change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments (asset
management and strategic holdings) of $(0.4) billion and $1.0 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and
2025, respectively, (iv) capital allocation-based income (loss) (asset management and strategic holdings) of $0.8 billion and
$1.2 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, (v) net investment and policy liability-
related gains (losses) (insurance) of $(0.4) billion and $(1.7) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025,
respectively, and (vi) interest credited to policyholder account balances (net of policy fees) (insurance) of $1.4 billion and $1.2
billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Investment funds are investment companies
under GAAP and reflect their investments and other financial instruments at fair value.
Net Cash Provided (Used) by Investing Activities
Our net cash provided (used) by investing activities was $2.3 billion and $(3.1) billion during the three months ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our investing activities primarily included: (i) investments purchased (insurance), net
of proceeds from investments (insurance), of $2.4 billion and $(3.1) billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026
and 2025, respectively, (ii) acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $(37.9) million during the three months ended March 31,
2026, and (iii) the purchase of fixed assets of $(27.4) million and $(20.8) million during the three months ended March 31,
2026 and 2025, respectively.
Net Cash Provided (Used) by Financing Activities

Total Management Fees | $1,192,504 | $917,334 | $275,170 | ||
The increase in Private Equity management fees during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily
attributable to (i) management fees commencing at North America Fund XIV in the second quarter of 2025, and (ii)
management fees earned on new capital raised over the past twelve months at our private equity K-Series vehicles, net of
certain revenue sharing arrangements. The increase was partially offset by (i) a decrease in management fees earned from
North America Fund XIII as a result of entering its post-investment period in the second quarter of 2025, and now paying fees
based on invested capital rather than committed capital and at a lower fee rate, and (ii) a decrease in management fees
earned from Americas XII due to a step-down in the management fee rate in the third quarter of 2025. During the three
months ended March 31, 2026, approximately $30.1 million of management fees were earned on new capital raised that
were retroactive to the start of the relevant fund’s investment period.
The increase in Real Assets management fees during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily attributable
to (i) management fees earned on new capital raised over the past twelve months at Global Infrastructure Investors V and at
our infrastructure K-Series vehicles, net of certain revenue sharing arrangements, and (ii) a higher level of management fees
earned from Global Atlantic primarily due to the growth in assets from inflows. During the three months ended March 31,
111
Table of Contents
2026, approximately $40.6 million of management fees were earned on new capital raised that is retroactive to the start of
the relevant fund's investment period.
The increase in Credit and Liquid Strategies management fees during the three months ended March 31, 2026, was
primarily attributable to (i) an increase in capital invested at certain alternative credit strategy accounts, which resulted in an
increase in its fee base, and (ii) a higher level of management fees earned from CLOs from new issuances in both the United
States and Europe during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net
The following table presents transaction and monitoring fees, net by business line:
Three Months Ended | |||||
($ in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2025 | Change | ||

Private Equity | $18,636 | $18,913 | $(277) | ||

Credit and Liquid Strategies | 2,759 | 3,397 | (638) | ||
Capital Markets | 223,647 | 229,344 | (5,697) | ||
Total Transaction and Monitoring Fees, Net | $252,709 | $261,509 | $(8,800) | ||
Our Private Equity, Real Assets, and Credit and Liquid Strategies business lines earn transaction and monitoring fees from
portfolio companies, and under the terms of the management agreements with certain of our investment funds, we are
required to share all or a portion of such fees with our fund investors. For most of our investment funds, transaction and
monitoring fees are credited against fund management fees up to 100% of the amount of the transaction and monitoring fees
attributable to that investment fund, which results in a decrease of our monitoring and transaction fees. Our Capital Markets
business line earns transaction fees, which are generally not shared with fund investors.
The decrease in transaction and monitoring fees, net is primarily due to a lower level of transaction fees earned in our
Capital Markets business line. The decrease in capital markets transaction fees was primarily due to a decrease in the number
of capital markets transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Overall, we completed 91 capital markets
transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2026, of which 7 represented equity offerings and 84 represented debt
offerings, as compared to 111 transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of which 12 represented equity
offerings and 99 represented debt offerings. We earn fees in connection with underwriting, syndication, and other capital
markets services. While each of the capital markets transactions that we undertake in this business line is separately
negotiated, our fee rates are generally higher with respect to underwriting or syndicating equity offerings than with respect to
debt offerings, and the amount of fees that we earn for similar transactions generally correlates with overall transaction sizes.
Our capital markets fees are generated in connection with activity involving our Private Equity, Real Assets, and Credit
and Liquid Strategies business lines as well as from third-party companies. For the three months ended March 31, 2026,
approximately 14% of our transaction fees in our Capital Markets business line were earned from unaffiliated third parties as
compared to approximately 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our transaction fees are comprised of fees
earned from North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately
48% of our transaction fees were generated outside of North America as compared to approximately 46% for the three
months ended March 31, 2025. Our Capital Markets business line is dependent on the overall capital markets environment,
which is influenced by, among other things, equity prices, credit spreads, and volatility. Our Capital Markets business line does
not generate monitoring fees.

Fee related performance revenues represent performance fees that are (i) expected to be received from our investment
funds, investment vehicles and accounts on a more recurring basis and (ii) not dependent on a realization event involving
investments held by the investment fund, vehicle or account.
The increase in fee related performance revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior
period was primarily due to performance revenues being earned from our Diversified Core Infrastructure Fund in our Real
Assets business line in the current period.

The increase in fee related compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior period was
primarily due to a higher level of compensation recorded in connection with the higher level of fee related revenues.
Other Operating Expenses
The increase in other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior period was
primarily due to a higher level of occupancy, information technology, and general and administrative costs.
Fee Related Earnings
The increase in fee related earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior period was
primarily due to (i) a higher level of management fees across our Private Equity, Real Assets, and Credit and Liquid Strategies
business lines and (ii) a higher level of fee related performance revenues primarily earned in our Real Assets business line,
partially offset by (i) a higher level of fee related compensation and other operating expenses and (ii) a lower level of
transaction fees earned in our Capital Markets business line, as described above.

Realized performance income in our Credit and Liquid Strategies business line for the three months ended March 31,
2025 consisted primarily of performance fees earned from Marshall Wace and our sub-advisory agreement with a UK
investment fund manager.
Realized Performance Income Compensation
The increase in realized performance income compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the
prior period was primarily due to a higher level of compensation recorded in connection with the higher level of realized
performance income.
Realized Investment Income
The following table presents realized investment income from our Principal Activities business line:
Three Months Ended | |||||
($ in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | March 31, 2025 | Change | ||
Total Realized Investment Income | $121,901 | $217,957 | $(96,056) | ||
The decrease in realized investment income is primarily due to a lower level of interest income, dividends, and net
realized gains. The amount of realized investment income depends on the transaction activity of our funds and Asset
Management segment balance sheet, which can vary from period to period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, realized investment income was primarily comprised of realized gains
primarily from the sale of our investments in J.B. Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Limited, BrightSpring Health Services, and
Crosby Group. Partially offsetting the realized gains were realized losses, the most significant of which were realized losses
from the sale of various revolving credit facilities by the Capital Markets business line.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, realized investment income was primarily comprised of (i) realized gains
from the sale of our investments in BridgeBio Inc. (NASDAQ: BBIO), and Citation Topco Limited, (ii) realized gains from the
settlement of foreign exchange forward contracts, and (iii) interest income primarily from our investments in CLOs. Partially
offsetting these realized gains were realized losses, the most significant of which were (i) a realized loss related to a
structured multi-asset investment vehicle and (ii) realized losses from the sale of various revolving credit facilities.
Realized investment income includes the net income (loss) from KKR Capstone. For the three months ended March 31,
2026, total fees attributable to KKR Capstone were $26.8 million and total expenses attributable to KKR Capstone were $26.4
million. For KKR Capstone-related adjustments in reconciling segment revenues and expenses to GAAP revenues and expenses
see Note 21 “Segment Reporting” in the accompanying financial statements.
As of the date of this filing, we have transactions that are pending or that have closed after March 31, 2026 that are
expected to result in realized performance income and realized investment income of at least $1.2 billion, which is expected
to be realized in the remainder of 2026. The realizations are expected to consist of approximately 80% realized performance
income and approximately 20% realized investment income. See “—Liquidity—Sources of Liquidity” for additional
information. Some of these transactions are not complete, and are subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, including
regulatory approvals; therefore, there can be no assurance if or when such transactions will be completed. In addition, we
may realize gains or losses based on transactions or other events that occur after the date of filing this report, which could
impact, positively or negatively, the total amount of our realized performance income and realized investment income.
Therefore, no assurance can be given for what our actual realized performance income and realized investment income in the
remainder of 2026 or future periods will be.
Realized Investment Income Compensation
The decrease in realized investment income compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the
prior period is primarily due to a lower level of compensation recorded in connection with the lower level of realized
investment income.

Series vehicles, and (ii) appreciation in investment value primarily from Global Impact Fund II, Asian Fund IV and our private
equity K-Series vehicles. Partially offsetting the increases were distributions to fund investors primarily as a result of realized
proceeds, most notably from Americas Fund XII, North America Fund XI, and Asian Fund III.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the value of our traditional private equity investment portfolio appreciated
by 1%. This was comprised of a 6% increase in share prices of publicly held investments and no change in value of our

value from Global Infrastructure Investors III and Energy and Growth Income Fund II. Partially offsetting the increase were (i)

FPAUM of our Private Equity business line was $153.7 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $2.5 billion, compared to
$151.2 billion at December 31, 2025.
The increase was primarily attributable to new capital raised from North America Fund XIV and our private equity K-Series
vehicles. Partially offsetting the increase were distributions to fund investors primarily as a result of (i) realized proceeds,
most notably from Asian Fund III, (ii) fees waived at European Fund IV in exchange for extending the term of the fund and (iii)
a change in fee base for Next Generation Technology Growth Fund III as a result of the fund entering its post-investment
period in the first quarter of 2026, during which we earn fees on invested capital rather than committed capital.
Uncalled capital commitments from private equity funds and other investment vehicles from which KKR is currently not
earning management fees amounted to approximately $17.7 billion at March 31, 2026, which includes capital commitments
reserved for follow-on investments for funds that have completed their investment periods. This capital will generally begin to
earn management fees upon deployment of the capital or upon the commencement of the fund's investment period. The
average annual management fee rate associated with this capital is approximately 0.97%. The date on which we begin to earn
fees (as specified above) is not guaranteed to occur and may not occur for an extended period of time. If and when such
management fees are earned, a portion of existing FPAUM may cease paying fees or pay lower fees, thus offsetting a portion
of any new management fees earned.

The increase was primarily attributable to new capital raised from our infrastructure K-Series vehicles, Global
Infrastructure Investors V, and Global Atlantic inflows invested in infrastructure. Partially offsetting the increase were (i)
payments to Global Atlantic policyholders, and (ii) distributions to fund investors as a result of realized proceeds, most notably
from one of our infrastructure separately managed accounts with a public pension plan and Diversified Core Infrastructure
Fund.
Uncalled capital commitments from real assets investment funds and other investment vehicles from which KKR is

compared to $289.5 billion at December 31, 2025.
The increase was primarily attributable to (i) new capital raised from Global Atlantic inflows and deployment at various
alternative credit and leveraged credit investment funds, (ii) the issuance of CLOs, and, to a lesser extent, (iii) investment
value appreciation on assets managed by Marshall Wace. Partially offsetting the increase were (i) payments to Global Atlantic
policyholders, (ii) distributions to, and redemptions from, fund investors at certain alternative and leveraged credit funds, and
(iii) redemptions at Marshall Wace.
Uncalled capital commitments from credit investment funds from which KKR is currently not earning management fees
amounted to approximately $31.3 billion at March 31, 2026, which includes capital commitments reserved for follow-on
investments for funds that have completed their investment periods. This capital will generally begin to earn management
fees upon deployment of the capital or upon the commencement of the fund's investment period. The average annual
management fee rate associated with this capital is approximately 0.53%. The date on which we begin to earn fees is not
guaranteed to occur and may not occur for an extended period of time. If and when such management fees are earned, a
portion of existing FPAUM may cease paying fees or pay lower fees, thus offsetting a portion of any new management fees

Uncalled Commitments
Private Equity
As of March 31, 2026, our Private Equity business line had $53.3 billion of remaining uncalled commitments that could be
called for investments in new transactions as compared to $52.3 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily
attributable to new capital commitments from fund investors largely offset by capital called from fund investors to make
investments during the period.
Real Assets
As of March 31, 2026, our Real Assets business line had $37.4 billion of remaining uncalled commitments that could be
called for investments in new transactions as compared to $35.0 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily
attributable to new capital commitments from fund investors, which was partially offset by capital called from fund investors
to make investments during the period.

that could be called for investments in new transactions as compared to $31.1 billion as of December 31, 2025. The increase
was primarily attributable to new capital commitments from fund investors, which was partially offset by capital called from
fund investors to make investments during the period.
Capital Invested
Private Equity
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, $2.2 billion of capital was invested by our Private Equity business line, as
compared to $4.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by a $1.3 billion
decrease in capital invested in our core private equity strategy and $0.6 billion decrease in capital invested in our traditional
private equity strategy. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 27% of capital deployed in private equity was in
transactions in North America, 27% was in Europe, and 46% was in the Asia-Pacific region. The number of large private equity
investments made in any quarterly or year-to-date period is volatile and, consequently, a significant amount of capital
invested in one period or a few periods may not be indicative of a similar level of capital deployment in future periods.
Real Assets
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, $8.3 billion of capital was invested by our Real Assets business line, as
compared to $5.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven primarily by a $2.7 billion
increase in capital invested in our infrastructure strategy and $0.7 billion increase in capital invested in our real estate
strategy, partially offset by a $0.6 billion decrease in capital invested in our energy strategy. During the three months ended
March 31, 2026, 57% of capital deployed in real assets was in transactions in North America, 25% was in Europe, and 18% was
in the Asia-Pacific region. The number of large real assets investments made in any quarterly or year-to-date period is volatile
and, consequently, a significant amount of capital invested in one period or a few periods may not be indicative of a similar
level of capital deployment in future periods.
Credit and Liquid Strategies
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, $11.2 billion of capital was invested by our Credit and Liquid Strategies
business line, as compared to $9.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven primarily by a
higher level of capital deployed across our alternative credit strategies, most notably asset-based finance. During the three
months ended March 31, 2026, 88% of capital deployed was in transactions in North America, 10% was in Europe, and 2% was
in the Asia-Pacific region.

Analysis of Insurance Segment Operating Results
The following table sets forth information regarding KKR's insurance segment operating results for the three months
ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Effective beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the information regularly provided to
management for the Insurance Segment was modified to reclassify certain operating expenses from “General, Administrative
and Other” to “Net Cost of Insurance.” Prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period
presentation. This reclassification had no impact on Insurance Operating Earnings.

Net Investment Income
Net investment income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) increased average assets under management from the cumulative impact of new business
volume growth over the preceding twelve months, and (ii) higher average portfolio yields due to repositioning the portfolio
into higher yielding fixed maturity debt securities, and investment in alternative asset classes, such as real assets.
Net Cost of Insurance
Net cost of insurance increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) growth in reserves in the institutional and individual market channels as a result of the
cumulative impact of new business volumes in the preceding twelve months, and (ii) higher average funding costs due to
higher crediting rates and the routine run-off of older business originated in a lower interest rate environment.
General, Administrative and Other Expenses
General, administrative and other expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to (i) higher interest expense primarily reflecting higher levels of
borrowing, and (ii) an increase in professional and technology-related expenses.
Insurance Operating Earnings
Insurance operating earnings increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in net investment income due to an increase in average assets under
management and higher portfolio yields, partially offset by an increase in net cost of insurance due to the cumulative impact
of new business volume growth and higher crediting rates.

The increase in total operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior period was
primarily due to a higher level of fee related earnings and to a lesser extent insurance operating earnings and strategic
holdings operating earnings. For a discussion of fee related earnings, insurance operating earnings, and strategic holdings
operating earnings, see "—Analysis of Asset Management Segment Operating Results", "—Analysis of Insurance Segment
Operating Results", and "—Analysis of Strategic Holdings Segment Operating Results."
Total Investing Earnings
The increase in total investing earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior period was
primarily due to a higher level of net realized performance income, offset by a lower level of net realized investment income.
For a discussion of net realized performance income and net realized investment income, see "—Analysis of Asset
Management Segment Operating Results" and "—Analysis of Strategic Holdings Segment Operating Results."
Total Segment Earnings
The increase in total segment earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior period was
primarily due to an increase in total operating earnings and to a lesser extent total investing earnings.
Adjusted Net Income
The increase in adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior period was
primarily due to a higher level of total segment earnings, partially offset by an increase in interest expense, net and other.
Interest Expense, Net and Other
The increase in interest expense, net and other for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior period
was primarily due to dividends paid on the Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that was issued in March 2025.
Income Taxes on Adjusted Earnings
The decrease in income taxes on adjusted earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior
period was primarily due to a higher level of certain income tax deductions and credits.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the amount of the tax benefit from equity-based compensation
included in income taxes on adjusted earnings was $21.4 million and $30.8 million, respectively. The inclusion of the tax
benefit from equity-based compensation in Adjusted Net Income had the effect of increasing this measure by 2% and 3% for
the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(1)These funds were not contributed to KKR as part of the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of KKR & Co. (Guernsey) L.P. (formerly known as KKR Private
Equity Investors, L.P.) on October 1, 2009.
(2)Where commitments are not U.S. dollar-denominated, such amounts have been converted into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing on
March 31, 2026.
(3)The gross IRR, net IRR and gross multiple of invested capital are calculated for our investment funds that made their first investment at least 24 months
prior to March 31, 2026. We therefore have not calculated gross IRRs, net IRRs and gross multiples of invested capital with respect to these funds.

(4)An investment is considered realized when it has been disposed of or has otherwise generated disposition proceeds or current income that has been
distributed by the relevant fund.
(5)IRRs measure the aggregate annual compounded returns generated by a fund's investments over a holding period. Net IRRs are calculated after giving
effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees and organizational expenses.
Gross IRRs are calculated before giving effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest and the payment of any applicable management
fees and organizational expenses.
The gross multiples of invested capital measure the aggregate value generated by a fund's investments in absolute terms. Each multiple of invested capital
is calculated by adding together the total realized and unrealized values of a fund's investments and dividing by the total amount of capital invested by the
fund. Such amounts do not give effect to the allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest or the payment of any applicable management fees or
organizational expenses.
KKR's Private Equity and Real Assets funds may utilize third-party financing facilities to provide liquidity to such funds. The above net and gross IRRs are
calculated from the time capital contributions are due from fund investors to the time fund investors receive a related distribution from the fund, and the
use of such financing facilities generally decreases the amount of time that would otherwise be used to calculate IRRs, which tends to increase IRRs when
fair value grows over time and decrease IRRs when fair value decreases over time.

may be different than, and may not achieve the levels of, any of our historical returns" in our Annual Report.

(1)The start date represents the start of the fund's investment period as defined in the fund's governing documents and may or may not be the same as the
date upon which management fees begin to accrue.
(2)The end date represents the end of the fund's investment period as defined in the fund's governing documents and is generally not the date upon which
management fees cease to accrue. For funds that initially charge management fees on the basis of committed capital, the end date is generally the date
on or after which the management fees begin to be calculated instead on the basis of invested capital and may, for certain funds, begin to be calculated
using a lower rate.
(3)The commitment represents the aggregate capital commitments to the fund, including capital commitments by third-party fund investors and the general
partner. Foreign currency commitments have been converted into U.S. dollars based on the foreign exchange rate that prevailed on March 31, 2026.
(4)The remaining cost represents the initial investment of the general partner and limited partners, reduced for returns of capital.

The following table presents information regarding certain leveraged credit strategies managed by KKR from inception to
March 31, 2026. The information presented below is not intended to be representative of any past or future performance for
any particular period other than the period presented below. Past performance is no guarantee of any future result.
Leveraged Credit Strategy | Inception Date | Gross Returns | Net Returns | Benchmark (1) | Benchmark Gross Returns | |||||
Multi-Asset Credit Composite | Jul 2008 | 7.04% | 6.35% | 50% S&P/LSTA Loan Index, 50% BoAML HY Master II Index (2) | 5.77% | |||||

European Credit Opportunities (6) | Sept 2007 | 6.84% | 5.61% | S&P European Leveraged Loans (All Loans) (8) | 4.50% |
(1)The benchmarks referred to herein include the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (the "S&P/LSTA Loan Index"), S&P/LSTA U.S. B/BB Ratings Loan Index (the
"S&P/LSTA BB-B Loan Index"), the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index (the "BoAML HY Master II Index"), the BofA Merrill Lynch BB-B
US High Yield Index (the "BoAML HY BB-B Constrained"), the Credit Suisse Institutional Western European Leveraged Loan Index (the "CS Inst West
European Leveraged Loan Index"), and S&P European Leveraged Loans (All Loans). The S&P/LSTA Loan Index is a daily tradable index for the U.S. loan
market that seeks to mirror the market-weighted performance of the largest institutional loans that meet certain criteria. The BoAML HY Master II Index is
an index for high-yield corporate bonds. It is designed to measure the broad high-yield market, including lower-rated securities. The CS Inst West
European Leveraged Loan Index contains only institutional loan facilities priced above 90, excluding TL and TLa facilities and loans rated CC, C or are in
default. The S&P European Leveraged Loan Index reflects the market-weighted performance of institutional leveraged loan portfolios investing in
European credits. While the returns of our leveraged credit strategies reflect the reinvestment of income and dividends, none of the indices presented in
the chart above reflect such reinvestment, which has the effect of increasing the reported relative performance of these strategies as compared to the
indices. Furthermore, these indices are not subject to management fees, incentive allocations, or expenses.
(2)Performance is based on a blended composite of Bank Loans, High Yield, and Structured Credit strategy accounts. The benchmark used for purposes of
comparison for the Multi-Asset Credit Composite strategy is based on 65% S&P/LSTA Loan Index and 35% BoAML HY Master II Index to May 2022, and
50% S&P/LSTA Loan Index, 50% BoAML HY Master II Index, from June 2022.
(3)The Opportunistic Credit strategy invests in high-yield securities and corporate loans with no preset allocation. The benchmark used for purposes of
comparison for the Opportunistic Credit strategy presented herein is based on 50% S&P/LSTA Loan Index and 50% BoAML HY Master II Index. Funds
within this strategy may utilize third-party financing facilities to enhance investment returns. In cases where financing facilities are used, the amounts
drawn on the facility are deducted from the assets of the fund in the calculation of net asset value, which tends to increase returns when net asset value
grows over time and decrease returns when net asset value decreases over time.
(4)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in leveraged loans. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the Bank
Loans strategy is based on the S&P/LSTA Loan Index.
(5)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in high-yield securities. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison for the
High Yield strategy is based on the BoAML HY Master II Index.
(6)The returns presented are calculated based on local currency.
(7)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in higher quality leveraged loans. The benchmark used for purposes of comparison
for the European Leveraged Loans strategy is based on the CS Inst West European Leveraged Loan Index.
(8)Performance is based on a composite of portfolios that primarily invest in European institutional leveraged loans. The benchmark used for purposes of
comparison for the European Credit Opportunities strategy is based on the S&P European Leveraged Loans (All Loans) Index.

(1)Recycled capital is excluded from the amounts invested and realized.
(2)These credit funds utilize third-party financing facilities to provide liquidity to such funds, and in such event IRRs are calculated from the time capital
contributions are due from fund investors to the time fund investors receive a related distribution from the fund. The use of such financing facilities
generally decreases the amount of invested capital that would otherwise be used to calculate IRRs, which tends to increase IRRs when fair value grows
over time and decrease IRRs when fair value decreases over time. IRRs measure the aggregate annual compounded returns generated by a fund's
investments over a holding period and are calculated taking into account recycled capital. Net IRRs presented are calculated after giving effect to the
allocation of realized and unrealized carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees and organizational expenses. Gross IRRs are
calculated before giving effect to the allocation of carried interest and the payment of any applicable management fees and organizational expenses.
(3)The multiples of invested capital measure the aggregate value generated by a fund's investments in absolute terms. Each multiple of invested capital is
calculated by adding together the total realized and unrealized values of a fund's investments and dividing by the total amount of capital invested by the
investors. The use of financing facilities generally decreases the amount of invested capital that would otherwise be used to calculate multiples of
invested capital, which tends to increase multiples when fair value grows over time and decrease multiples when fair value decreases over time. Such
amounts do not give effect to the allocation of any realized and unrealized returns on a fund's investments to the fund's general partner pursuant to a
carried interest or the payment of any applicable management fees and are calculated without taking into account recycled capital.

Table of Contents
Credit Quality of Fixed Maturity Securities
As of March 31, 2026, 95%, and 91% of the Insurance segment’s fixed maturity securities were considered investment
grade under ratings from the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC and NRSROs, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, 95%,
and 91% of fixed maturity securities were considered investment grade under ratings from NAIC and NRSROs, respectively.
Securities where a rating by a NRSRO was not available are considered investment grade if they have a NAIC designation of
“1” or “2.”
The Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC evaluates the fixed maturity security investments of insurers for regulatory
reporting and capital assessment purposes and assigns securities to one of six credit quality categories called “NAIC
designations.” Using an internally developed rating is permitted by the NAIC if no rating is available. These designations are
generally similar to the credit quality designations of NRSROs for marketable fixed maturity securities, except for certain
structured securities as described below. NAIC designations of “1,” highest quality, and “2,” high quality, include fixed
maturity securities generally considered investment grade by NRSROs. NAIC designations “3” through “6” include fixed
maturity securities generally considered below investment grade by NRSROs.
Consistent with the NAIC Process and Procedures Manual, a NRSRO rating was assigned based on the following criteria: (i)
the equivalent S&P rating where the security is rated by one NRSRO; (ii) the equivalent S&P rating of the lowest NRSRO when
the security is rated by two NRSROs; and (iii) the equivalent S&P rating of the second lowest NRSRO if the security is rated by
three or more NRSROs. If the lowest two NRSROs’ ratings are equal, then such rating will be the assigned rating. NRSROs’
ratings available for the periods presented were S&P, Fitch, Moody’s, DBRS, Inc., and Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc. If no
rating is available from a rating agency, then an internally developed rating is used.
Within the funds withheld receivable at interest portfolio, 98% and 97% of the fixed maturity securities were investment
grade by NAIC designation as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Trading fixed maturity securities primarily back funds withheld payable at interest where the investment performance is
ceded to reinsurers under the terms of the respective reinsurance agreements.
Unrealized Gains and Losses on Available-for-Sale Fixed Maturity Securities
The Insurance segment’s investments in available-for-sale (“AFS”) fixed maturity securities are reported at fair value with
changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income as unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes and offsets.
Unrealized gains and losses can be created by changes in interest rates or by changes in credit spreads.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Insurance segment had gross unrealized losses on below investment
grade AFS fixed maturity securities of $370.2 million and $313.8 million based on NRSRO ratings, and $246.9 million and
$187.7 million based on NAIC ratings, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, unrealized losses were not recognized in net income
on these fixed maturity securities since the Insurance segment neither intends to sell the securities nor does it believe that it
is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost or amortized cost basis.
Credit Quality of Mortgage and Other Loan Receivables
Mortgage and other loan receivables consist of commercial and residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, and other
loan receivables. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 27% of Global Atlantic's total investments consisted of
mortgage and other loan receivables, respectively.
The Insurance segment invests in U.S. mortgage loans, comprised of first lien and mezzanine commercial mortgage loans
and first lien residential mortgage loans. For the commercial mortgage loan portfolio, the most prevalent property type is
multi-family residential buildings, which represents approximately half of the portfolio as of both March 31, 2026 and
December 31, 2025. Office and retail properties represent approximately 20% and 21% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2026
and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The Insurance segment’s commercial mortgage loans are assigned NAIC designations, with designations “CM1” and
“CM2” considered to be investment grade. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 91% of the commercial
mortgage loan portfolio were rated investment grade based on NAIC designation, respectively. The payment status of over
99% of the commercial mortgage loan portfolio is current as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The loan-to-value ratio is expressed as a percentage of the current amount of the loan relative to the value of the
underlying collateral. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, approximately 90% and 89%, respectively, of the
131
Table of Contents
commercial mortgage loans have a loan-to-value ratio of 70% or less, and as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025,
2% have loan-to-value ratio over 90%, respectively.
Changing economic conditions and updated assumptions affect the Insurance segment’s assessment of the collectibility
of commercial mortgage loans. Changing vacancies and rents are incorporated into the analysis performed to measure the
allowance for credit losses. In addition, the Insurance segment continuously monitors its commercial mortgage loan portfolio
to identify risk. Areas of emphasis are properties that have exposure to specific geographic events or have deteriorating
credit.
The Insurance segment’s residential mortgage loan portfolio primarily includes mortgage loans backed by single family
rental properties, prime loans, and re-performing loans that were purchased at a discount after they were modified and
returned to performing status. The Insurance segment also extends financing to counterparties in the form of repurchase
agreements secured by mortgage loans, including performing and non-performing mortgage loans.
As of March 31, 2026, the payment status of 97% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio is current, and approximately
$258.6 million is 90 days or more past due or in process of foreclosure (representing 1% of the total residential mortgage
portfolio). As of December 31, 2025, the payment status of 97% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio was current and
approximately $273.4 million were 90 days or more past due or in process of foreclosure (representing 1% of the total
residential mortgage portfolio).
The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for residential mortgage loans was 64% as of both March 31, 2026 and
December 31, 2025.
The Insurance segment’s consumer loan portfolio is primarily comprised of home improvement loans, residential solar
loans, student loans, and auto loans. As of March 31, 2026, 97% of the consumer loan portfolio is in current status and
approximately $33.7 million is 90 days or more past due or in process of foreclosure (representing 1% of the total consumer
loan portfolio).
See Note 7 “Investments” in the accompanying financial statements in this report for additional information regarding
the Insurance segment’s investment portfolio.
Additional Information
To provide supplemental information to stockholders about the net assets of KKR on a segment basis, KKR’s book value
was $33.2 billion as of March 31, 2026, which included cash and short-term investments of $5.0 billion. KKR's book value
includes its net investment in Global Atlantic, investments in the Asset Management and Strategic Holdings segments, and the
net impact of certain other assets and liabilities, including income taxes. KKR's book value excludes the net assets allocable to
investors in KKR’s investment funds and other noncontrolling interest holders. For the three months ended March 31, 2026
the Asset Management segment transferred $0.7 billion of investments to the Insurance segment for which no gain or loss
was recognized upon transfer.

Liquidity
We manage our liquidity and capital requirements by (a) focusing on our cash flows before the consolidation of our funds
and CFEs and the effect of changes in short term assets and liabilities, which we anticipate will be settled for cash within one
year, and (b) seeking to maintain access to sufficient liquidity through various sources. The overall liquidity framework and
cash management approach of our insurance business are also based on seeking to build an investment portfolio that is cash
flow matched, providing cash inflows from insurance assets that meet our insurance companies' expected cash outflows to
pay their liabilities. Our primary cash flow activities typically involve (i) generating cash flow from operations; (ii) generating
income from investment activities, by investing in investments that generate yield (namely interest and dividends), as well as
through the sale of investments and other assets; (iii) funding capital commitments that we have made to, and advancing
capital to, our funds and CLOs; (iv) developing and funding new investment strategies, investment products, and other growth
initiatives, including acquisitions of other investments, assets, and businesses; (v) underwriting and funding capital
commitments in our capital markets business; (vi) distributing cash flow to our stockholders and any holders of our preferred
stock, if any; and (vii) paying borrowings, interest payments, and repayments under credit agreements, our senior and
subordinated notes, and other borrowing arrangements. See "—Liquidity," "—Liquidity Needs," and "—Dividends and Stock
Repurchases."
See "Risk Factors" and "—Business Environment" in this report for more information on factors that may impact our
business, financial performance, operating results, and valuations.
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity consist of amounts received from: (i) our operating activities, including the fees earned
from our funds, portfolio companies, and capital markets transactions; (ii) realizations on carried interest from our investment
funds; (iii) interest and dividends from investments that generate yield, including our investments in CLOs; (iv) in our
insurance business, cash inflows in respect of new premiums, policyholder deposits, reinsurance transactions, and funding
agreements, including through memberships in FHLBs; (v) realizations on and sales of investments and other assets, including
the transfers of investments or other assets for fund formations (including CLOs and other investment vehicles); and (vi)
borrowings, including advances under our revolving credit facilities, debt offerings, repurchase agreements, and other
borrowing arrangements. In addition, we may generate cash proceeds from issuances of our or our subsidiaries' equity
securities. We have access to funding under various credit facilities, other borrowing arrangements and other sources of
liquidity that we have entered into with major financial institutions or which we receive from the capital markets. For a
discussion of our debt obligations, including our debt securities, revolving credit agreements and loans, see Note 16 "Debt
Obligations" in our financial statements.
Many of our investment funds like our private equity and real assets funds provide for carried interest. With respect to
our carry-paying investment funds, carried interest is eligible to be distributed to the general partner of the fund only after all
of the following are met: (i) a realization event has occurred (e.g., sale of a portfolio company, dividend, etc.); (ii) the vehicle
has achieved positive overall investment returns since its inception, in excess of performance hurdles where applicable, and is
accruing carried interest; and (iii) with respect to investments with a fair value below cost, cost has been returned to fund
investors in an amount sufficient to reduce remaining cost to the investments' fair value. Even after all of the preceding
conditions are met, the general partner of the fund may, in its sole discretion, decide to defer the distribution of carried
interest to it to a later date. In addition, these funds generally include what is called a “clawback” provision, which provides
that the general partner must return any carried interest that is paid in excess of what the general partner is entitled to
receive at the end of the term of the fund, as discussed further below.
As of March 31, 2026, certain of our investment funds had met the first and second criteria, as described above, but did
not meet the third criteria. In these cases, carried interest accrues on the consolidated statement of operations, but will not
be distributed in cash to us as the general partner of an investment fund upon a realization event. For a fund that has a fair
value above cost, overall, and is otherwise accruing carried interest, but has one or more investments where fair value is
below cost, the shortfall between cost and fair value for such investments is referred to as a "netting hole." When netting
holes are present, realized gains on individual investments that would otherwise allow the general partner to receive carried
interest distributions are instead used to return invested capital to our funds' limited partners in an amount equal to the
netting hole. Once netting holes have been filled with either (i) return of capital equal to the netting hole for those
investments where fair value is below cost or (ii) increases in the fair value of those investments where fair value is below
cost, then realized carried interest will be distributed to the general partner upon a realization event. A fund that is in a
position to pay cash carry refers to a fund for which carried interest is expected to be paid to the general partner upon the
next material realization event, which includes funds with no netting holes as well as funds with a netting hole that is
135
Table of Contents
sufficiently small in size such that the next material realization event would be expected to result in the payment of carried
interest. Strategic investor partnerships with fund investors may require netting across the various funds in which they invest,
which may reduce the carried interest we otherwise would have earned if such fund investors were to have invested in our
funds without the existence of the strategic investor partnership. As of March 31, 2026, netting holes in excess of $50 million
existed at Global Impact Fund II and Global Impact Fund in the amount of $297 million and $59 million, respectively. The
remaining unrealized gains accrued at these funds as of March 31, 2026 are in excess of their netting holes. In accordance
with the criteria set forth above, other funds currently have and may in the future develop netting holes, and netting holes for
those and other funds may otherwise increase or decrease in the future.
If the investment fund has distributed carried interest but subsequently does not have sufficient value to provide for the
distribution of carried interest at the end of the life of the investment fund, the general partner is typically required to return
previously distributed carried interest to the fund investors. Current and former employees who received distributions of
carried interest subject to clawback would be required to return the amount of such distributions to KKR. However, it is KKR’s
obligation to return carried interest subject to clawback to the fund investors. As of March 31, 2026, approximately $195
million of previously distributed carried interest, in aggregate, was subject to a clawback obligation, assuming that all
applicable carry-paying investment funds were liquidated at their reported fair values as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31,
2026, there are no investment funds subject to a clawback obligation in excess of $50 million that has not already reduced net
realized performance income. See Note 24 "Commitments and Contingencies—Contingent Repayment Guarantees" in our
financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information. See also the negative amounts included in the
Carried Interest column in the table included in this Item 2 in “Fund Performance Metrics” for further information on
clawback obligations.
Liquidity Needs
We expect that our primary liquidity needs will consist of cash required to meet various obligations, including, without
limitation, to:
•continue to support and grow our asset management business, including seeding new investment strategies,
supporting capital commitments made by our investment vehicles to existing and future funds, co-investments
and otherwise supporting the investment vehicles that we sponsor, and acquiring other assets, businesses, and
investments for our businesses;
•continue to support and grow our insurance business;
•continue to support and grow our strategic holdings business, including through the acquisition of new operating
companies;
•grow and expand our businesses generally, including by acquiring or launching new, complementary, or adjacent
businesses;
•warehouse investments in portfolio companies or other investments for the benefit of one or more of our funds,
accounts or CLOs or other investment vehicles pending the contribution of committed capital by the fund
investors in such investment vehicles, and advancing capital to them for operational or other needs;
• funding requirements to levered investment vehicles or structured transactions;
•service debt obligations including the payment of obligations at maturity, on interest payment dates or upon
redemption;
•fund cash operating expenses and contingencies, including for litigation matters and guarantees;
•pay corporate income taxes and other taxes;
•pay policyholders and amounts in our insurance business related to investment, reinvestment, reinsurance, or
funding agreement activity;
•pay amounts that may become due under our tax receivable agreement;
•pay cash dividends in accordance with our dividend policy for our common stock or the terms of our preferred
stock;
136
Table of Contents
•underwrite commitments, advance loan proceeds, and fund syndication commitments within our capital
markets business;
•post or return collateral in respect of derivative contracts;
•satisfy regulatory requirements for our capital markets business, risk retention requirements for CLOs (to the
extent they may apply), or to address capital needs of unregulated and regulated subsidiaries, including capital
and collateral requirements, as applicable, for our insurance and broker-dealer subsidiaries; and
•repurchase shares of our common stock or retire equity awards pursuant to the share repurchase program or
repurchase or redeem other securities issued by us (for a discussion of KKR's share repurchase program, see
Note 22 "Equity" in our financial statements).
Capital Commitments
The agreements governing our active investment funds generally require the general partners of the funds to make
minimum capital commitments to such funds, which generally range from 2% to 8% of a fund's total capital commitments at
final closing, but may be greater for certain funds (i) where we are pursuing newer strategies, (ii) where third party investor
demand is limited, and (iii) where a larger commitment is consistent with the asset allocation strategy.
As of March 31, 2026, KKR had unfunded commitments consisting of $9.1 billion to its investment funds and other
investment vehicles across Private Equity, Real Assets, and Credit and Liquid Strategies business lines. These unfunded
commitments include $2.7 billion of uncalled capital commitments to certain investment vehicles in connection with
investments in the core private equity strategy. These unfunded commitments also include funding requirements to levered
investment vehicles and structured transactions to fund or otherwise be liable for a portion of the vehicle's investment losses
and/or to provide the vehicle with liquidity upon certain termination events.
In addition to these uncalled commitments and funding obligations to KKR's investment funds and investment vehicles,
KKR has entered into contractual commitments primarily with respect to underwriting transactions, debt financing, revolving
credit facilities, and equity syndications in our Capital Markets business line. As of March 31, 2026, these capital markets
commitments amounted to $0.6 billion. Whether these amounts are actually funded, in whole or in part, depends on the
contractual terms of such capital markets commitments, including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions to closing or
funding. From time to time, we fund these various capital markets commitments noted above in our capital markets business
by drawing all or substantially all of our availability for borrowings under our available credit facilities available for our Capital
Markets business line. We generally expect these borrowings by our capital markets business to be repaid promptly as these
commitments are syndicated to third parties or otherwise fulfilled or terminated, although we may in some instances elect to
retain a portion of the commitments for our own investment. Additionally, KKR's capital markets business has arrangements
with third parties, which are expected to reduce KKR's risk under certain circumstances when underwriting certain debt
transactions. As a result, our unfunded capital markets commitments as of March 31, 2026 have been reduced to reflect the
amount expected to be funded by such third parties. As of March 31, 2026, KKR's capital markets business line has entered
into such arrangements representing a total notional amount of $5.0 billion. For more information about our Capital Markets
business line's risks, see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our capital markets activities expose us to material
risks" in our Annual Report.
Tax Receivable Agreement
On May 30, 2022, KKR terminated the tax receivable agreement with KKR Holdings other than with respect to exchanges
of KKR Holdings equity completed prior to such date. As of March 31, 2026, an undiscounted payable of $335.1 million has
been recorded in due to affiliates in the financial statements representing management's best estimate of the amounts
currently expected to be owed for certain exchanges of KKR Holdings equity that took place prior to the termination of the tax
receivable agreement. As of March 31, 2026, $155.8 million of cumulative cash payments have been made under the tax
receivable agreement since inception.

Dividends and Stock Repurchases
A dividend of $0.195 per share of our common stock has been declared and will be paid on May 29, 2026 to holders of
record of our common stock as of the close of business on May 15, 2026.
A dividend of $0.78125 per share of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock has been declared and set aside for
payment on June 1, 2026 to holders of record of Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock as of the close of business
on May 15, 2026.
When KKR & Co. Inc. receives distributions from KKR Group Partnership, holders of exchangeable securities receive their
pro rata share of such distributions from KKR Group Partnership.
The declaration and payment of dividends to our common or preferred stockholders will be at the sole discretion of our
Board of Directors, and our dividend policy may be changed at any time. We announced on February 5, 2026 that our current
dividend policy will be to pay dividends to holders of our common stock in an annual aggregate amount of $0.78 per share (or
a quarterly dividend of $0.195 per share) beginning with the dividend announced with the results for the three months ended
March 31, 2026. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors based on a number of
factors, including KKR’s future financial performance and other considerations that the Board of Directors deems relevant,
and compliance with the terms of KKR & Co. Inc.'s certificate of incorporation and applicable law. For U.S. federal income tax
purposes, any dividends we pay (including dividends on our preferred stock) generally will be treated as qualified dividend
income for U.S. individual stockholders to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as
determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that future dividends will be made as intended
or at all or that any particular dividend policy for our common stock or our preferred stock will be maintained. Furthermore,
the declaration and payment of distributions by KKR Group Partnership and our other subsidiaries may also be subject to
legal, contractual and regulatory restrictions, including restrictions contained in our debt agreements.
Since 2015, KKR has repurchased, or retired equity awards representing, a total of 97.7 million shares of common stock
for $3.1 billion, which equates to an average price of $31.56 per share. As of May 1, 2026, there is approximately $122 million
remaining under KKR's share repurchase program. For further information See "Part II—Item 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities and Use of Proceeds.”
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we and our consolidated funds and CFEs enter into contractual arrangements that may
require future cash payments. Contractual arrangements include (1) commitments to fund the purchase of investments or
other assets (including obligations to fund capital commitments as the general partner of our investment funds) or to fund
collateral for derivative transactions or otherwise, (2) obligations arising under our senior notes, subordinated notes, and
other indebtedness, (3) commitments by our capital markets business to underwrite transactions or to lend capital, (4)
obligations arising under insurance policies written, (5) other contractual obligations, including servicing agreements with
third-party administrators for insurance policy administration, and (6) commitments to fund the business, operations or
investments of our subsidiaries. In addition, we may incur contingent liabilities for claims that may be made against us in the
future. For more information about these contingent liabilities, please see Note 24 "Commitments and Contingencies" in our
financial statements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet financings or liabilities other than contractual commitments and other legal
contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the recognition and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, investment income (loss)
and income taxes during the reporting periods. Such estimates include but are not limited to (i) the valuation of investments
and financial instruments, (ii) the determination of the income tax provision, (iii) the impairment of goodwill and intangible
assets, (iv) the impairment of available-for-sale investments, (v) the valuation of insurance policy liabilities, including market
risk benefits, (vi) the valuation of embedded derivatives in policy liabilities and funds withheld, and (vii) the determination of
the allowance for loan losses. Our management bases these estimates and judgments on available information, historical
experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, these estimates,
judgments and assumptions are often subjective and may be impacted negatively based on changing circumstances or
changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from those estimated, judged or assumed, revisions are
included in the financial statements in the period in which the actual amounts become known. We believe our critical
accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying estimates,
judgments or assumptions.
For a further discussion about our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in
our financial statements included in this report.
Basis of Accounting
We consolidate the financial results of KKR Group Partnership and its consolidated entities, which include the accounts of
our investment advisers, broker-dealers, Global Atlantic’s insurance companies, the general partners of certain
unconsolidated investment funds, general partners of consolidated investment funds and their respective consolidated
investment funds, and certain other entities including CFEs.
When an entity is consolidated, we reflect the accounts of the consolidated entity, including its assets, liabilities,
revenues, expenses, investment income, cash flows, and other amounts, on a gross basis. While the consolidation of an
investment fund or entity does not have an effect on the amounts of Net Income Attributable to KKR or KKR's stockholders'
equity that KKR reports, the consolidation does significantly impact the financial statement presentation under GAAP. This is
due to the fact that the accounts of the consolidated entities are reflected on a gross basis while the allocable share of those
amounts that are attributable to third parties are reflected as single line items. The single line items in which the accounts
attributable to third parties are recorded are presented as noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of
financial condition and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of
operations.
The presentations in the consolidated statement of financial condition and consolidated statement of operations reflect
the significant industry diversification of KKR by its acquisition of Global Atlantic. Global Atlantic operates an insurance
business, and KKR operates an asset management business, which manages the operations of the Strategic Holdings segment
(see Note 21 "Segment Reporting") in our financial statements included in this report, each of which possess distinct
characteristics. As a result, KKR developed a two-tiered approach for the financial statements presentation, where Global
Atlantic's insurance operations are presented separately from KKR's asset management business. KKR believes that these
separate presentations provide a more informative view of the consolidated financial position and results of operations than
traditional aggregated presentations and that reporting Global Atlantic’s insurance operations separately is appropriate given,
among other factors, the relative significance of Global Atlantic’s policy liabilities, which are not obligations of KKR (other than
the insurance companies that issued them). If a traditional aggregate presentation were to be used, KKR would expect to
eliminate or combine several identical or similar captions, which would condense the presentations, but would also reduce
the level of information presented. KKR also believes that using a traditional aggregate presentation would result in no new
line items compared to the two-tier presentation included in the financial statements in this report.
In the ordinary course of business, KKR’s Asset Management, Strategic Holdings, and Insurance businesses enter into
transactions with each other, which may include transactions pursuant to their investment management agreements and
financing arrangements. The borrowings from these financing arrangements are non-recourse to KKR beyond the assets
pledged to support such borrowings. All the investment management and financing arrangements amongst KKR’s Asset
Management, Strategic Holdings, and Insurance businesses are eliminated in consolidation.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Table of Contents
Consolidation
KKR consolidates all entities that it controls either through a majority voting interest or as the primary beneficiary of
variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The following discussion is intended to provide supplemental information about how the
application of consolidation principles impact our financial results, and management’s process for implementing those
principles including areas of significant judgment. For a detailed description of our accounting policy on consolidation, see
Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our financial statements included in this report.
As part of its consolidation procedures, KKR evaluates: (i) whether it holds a variable interest in an entity, (ii) whether the
entity is a VIE, and (iii) whether the KKR’s involvement would make it the primary beneficiary. The determination that KKR
holds a controlling financial interest in an investment vehicle significantly changes the presentation of our consolidated
financial statements.
The assessment of whether we consolidate an investment vehicle we manage requires the application of significant
judgment. These judgments are applied both at the time we become involved with an investment vehicle and on an ongoing
basis and include, but are not limited to:
•Determining whether our management fees, carried interests, or incentive fees represent variable interests - We
make judgments as to whether the fees we earn are commensurate with the level of effort required for those fees
and at market rates. In making this judgment, we consider, among other things, the extent of third party investment
in the entity and the terms of any other interests we hold in the VIE.
•Determining whether a legal entity qualifies as a VIE - For those entities where KKR holds a variable interest,
management determines whether each of these entities qualifies as a VIE and, if so, whether or not KKR is the
primary beneficiary. The assessment of whether the entity is a VIE is generally performed qualitatively, which
requires judgment. These judgments include: (i) determining whether the equity investment at risk is sufficient to
permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (ii) evaluating whether
the equity holders, as a group, can make decisions that have a significant effect on the economic performance of the
entity, (iii) determining whether two or more parties’ equity interests should be aggregated, and (iv) determining
whether the equity investors have proportionate voting rights to their obligations to absorb losses or rights to
receive returns from an entity. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are generally assessed for consolidation as voting
interest entities. Under the voting interest entity model, KKR consolidates those entities it controls through a
majority voting interest.
•Concluding whether KKR has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be
significant to the VIE - As there is no explicit threshold in GAAP to define “potentially significant,” we must apply
judgment and evaluate both quantitative and qualitative factors to conclude whether this threshold is met.
Changes to these judgments could result in a change in the consolidation conclusion for a legal entity.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. For further information about our
fair value measurements accounting policies, please see “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Fair Value
Measurements” in our Annual Report.
Level III Valuation Methodologies
Our investments and financial instruments are impacted by various economic conditions and events outside of our
control that are difficult to quantify or predict, which may have a significant impact on the valuation of our investments and,
therefore, on the carried interest and investment income we realize.
There is inherent uncertainty involved in the valuation of Level III investments, and there is no assurance that, upon
liquidation, KKR will realize the values reflected in our valuations. Our valuations may differ significantly from the values that
would have been used had an active market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference
could be material. See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and "—Business Environment" in this report for more information
on factors that may impact our business, financial performance, operating results, and valuations.

Table of Contents
Key unobservable inputs that have a significant impact on our Level III valuations as described above are included in Note
9 "Fair Value Measurements" in our financial statements.
Across the total Level III private equity investment portfolio (including core private equity investments) held directly and
through both consolidated and unconsolidated investment vehicles in our Asset Management segment, the overall weights
ascribed to a market comparables valuation methodology, the discounted cash flow valuation methodology, and a valuation
methodology based on pending sales for this portfolio of Level III private equity investments (including core private equity
investments) were 39%, 56%, and 5%, respectively, as of March 31, 2026.
Across the total Level III real assets investment portfolio held directly and through both consolidated and unconsolidated
investment vehicles in our Asset Management segment, the overall weights ascribed to a market comparables valuation
methodology, the discounted cash flow valuation methodology, the direct income capitalization valuation methodology, and a
valuation methodology based on pending sales for this portfolio of Level III real assets investments were 3%, 88%, 2%, and
7%, respectively, as of March 31, 2026.
Level III Valuation Process
The valuation process involved for Level III measurements for our financial statements is completed on a quarterly basis
and is designed to subject the valuation of Level III investments to an appropriate level of consistency, oversight, and review.
For private equity and real asset investments classified as Level III, investment professionals prepare preliminary
valuations based on their evaluation of financial and operating data, company specific developments, market valuations of
comparable companies, and other factors. KKR begins its procedures to determine the fair values of its Level III assets
approximately one month prior to the end of a reporting period, and KKR follows additional procedures to ensure that its
determinations of fair value for its Level III assets are appropriate as of the relevant reporting date. These preliminary
valuations are generally reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by KKR to perform certain procedures in order to
assess the reasonableness of KKR's valuations. The valuations of certain real asset investments are determined solely by
independent valuation firms without the preparation of preliminary valuations by our investment professionals, and instead
such independent valuation firms rely on valuation information available to it as a broker or valuation firm. For credit
investments, an independent valuation firm is engaged by KKR to assist with the valuations of most investments classified as
Level III. As of March 31, 2026, less than 5% of the total value of Level III investments in aggregate across all of our segments
were not valued with the engagement of an independent valuation firm.
For Level III investments, KKR has a Global Valuation Committee that is responsible for coordinating and implementing
the firm's valuation processes to ensure consistency in the application of valuation principles across portfolio investments and
between reporting periods. The Global Valuation Committee is assisted by the asset class-specific valuation committees,
which are responsible for the review and approval of all preliminary Level III valuations in their respective asset classes at least
on a quarterly basis. The members of these valuation committees are comprised of investment professionals and
professionals from business operations functions such as legal, compliance, and finance, who are not primarily responsible for
the management of the investments. All Level III valuations for investments are also subject to approval by the Global
Valuation Committee, which is comprised of senior employees including investment professionals and professionals from
business operations functions, and includes KKR's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel, and Chief
Compliance Officer. Once Level III valuations are approved by the Global Valuation Committee, a presentation of such
valuations is provided to the Audit Committee and then to the Board of Directors of KKR & Co. Inc. Level III valuations for our
insurance segment’s investments are approved by the Global Atlantic Valuation Committee prior to being presented to the
Global Valuation Committee.
As described above, Level III investments were valued using internal models with significant unobservable inputs, and our
determinations of the fair values of these investments may differ materially from the values that would have resulted if
readily observable inputs had existed. Additional external factors may cause those values, and the values of investments for
which readily observable inputs exist, to increase or decrease over time, which may create volatility in our earnings and the
amounts of assets and stockholders' equity that we report from time to time.
Changes in the fair value of investments impacts the amount of carried interest that is recognized as well as the amount
of investment income that is recognized for investments across our business segments and through our consolidated funds as
described below. We estimate that an immediate 10% decrease in the fair value of investments held directly and through
consolidated investment funds generally would result in a commensurate change in the amount of net gains (losses) from
investment activities for investments held directly and through investment funds and a more significant impact to the amount
of carried interest recognized, regardless of whether the investment was valued using observable market prices or
management estimates with significant unobservable pricing inputs. With respect to consolidated investment funds, the
141
Table of Contents
impact that the consequential decrease in investment income would have on net income attributable to KKR would generally
be significantly less than the amount described above, given that a majority of the change in fair value of our consolidated
funds would be attributable to noncontrolling interests and therefore we are only impacted to the extent of our carried
interest and our ownership in the consolidated investment funds and investment vehicles.
As of March 31, 2026, upon completion by, where applicable, independent valuation firms of certain limited procedures
requested to be performed by them on certain Level III investments, the independent valuation firms concluded that the fair
values, as determined by KKR (including Global Atlantic), of those investments reviewed by them were reasonable. The limited
procedures did not involve an audit, review, compilation or any other form of examination or attestation under generally
accepted auditing standards and were not conducted on all Level III investments. We are responsible for determining the fair
value of investments in good faith, and the limited procedures performed by an independent valuation firm are
supplementary to the inquiries and procedures that we are required to undertake to determine the fair value of the
commensurate investments on a GAAP basis.
As of March 31, 2026, there were no investments across business segments which represented greater than 5% of total
investments on a GAAP basis. Our investment income on a GAAP and segment basis can be impacted by volatility in the public
markets. See "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report and "—Business Environment" in this report for a discussion of factors that
may impact the valuations of our investments, financial results, operating results, and valuations, and "—Segment Balance
Sheet Measures" for additional information regarding our largest holdings on a segment basis.
Business Combinations
KKR accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, under which the purchase price of
the acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values determined by management as
of the acquisition date.
Management’s determination of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date is based on
the best information available in the circumstances and may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involve a
significant degree of judgment. We use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and
identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as the useful lives of those
acquired intangible assets. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired include,
but are not limited to, future expected cash inflows and outflows, future fundraising assumptions, expected useful life,
discount rates, and income tax rates. Our estimates for future cash flows are based on historical data, various internal
estimates and certain external sources, and are based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates we are
using to manage the underlying assets acquired. We estimate the useful lives of the intangible assets based on the expected
period over which we anticipate generating economic benefit from the asset. We base our estimates on assumptions we
believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Unanticipated events and circumstances may
occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual result.
Income Taxes
Significant judgment is required in estimating the provision for (benefit from) income taxes, current and deferred tax
balances (including valuation allowance), accrued interest or penalties, and uncertain tax positions. In evaluating these
judgments, we consider, among other items, projections of taxable income (including the character of such income),
beginning with historic results and incorporating assumptions of the amount of future pre-tax operating income. These
assumptions about future taxable income require significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates that
KKR uses to manage its business. Revisions in estimates or actual costs of a tax assessment may ultimately be materially
different from the recorded accruals and unrecognized tax benefits, if any. Please see Note 18 "Income Taxes" in our financial
statements in this report for further details.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Asset Management and Strategic Holdings
Revenues
Fees and Other
Fees and other consist primarily of (i) management and incentive fees from providing investment management services
to unconsolidated funds, CLOs, other investment vehicles, and separately managed accounts; (ii) transaction fees earned in
connection with successful investment transactions and from capital markets activities; (iii) monitoring fees from providing
services to portfolio companies; (iv) expense reimbursements from certain investment funds and portfolio companies; and
(v) consulting fees. These fees are based on the contractual terms of the governing agreements and are recognized when
earned, which coincides with the period during which the related services are performed and in the case of transaction fees,
upon closing of the transaction. Monitoring fees may provide for a termination payment following an initial public offering or
change of control. These termination payments are recognized in the period when the related transaction closes.
Transaction fee calculations and management fee calculations based on committed capital or invested capital typically do
not require discretion and therefore do not require the use of significant estimates or judgments. Management fee
calculations based on net asset value depend on the fair value of the underlying investments within the investment vehicles.
Estimates and assumptions are made when determining the fair value of the underlying investments within the funds and
could vary depending on the valuation methodology that is used as well as economic conditions.
Capital Allocation-Based Income (Loss)
Capital allocation-based income (loss) is earned from those arrangements whereby KKR serves as general partner and
includes income or loss from KKR's capital interest as well as "carried interest" which entitles KKR to a disproportionate
allocation of investment income or loss from an investment fund's limited partners.
Carried interest is recognized upon appreciation of the funds’ investment values above certain return hurdles set forth in
their partnership agreement. KKR recognizes revenues attributable to capital allocation-based income based upon the amount
that would be due pursuant to the fund partnership agreement at each period end as if the funds were terminated at that
date. Accordingly, the amount recognized reflects KKR’s share of the gains and losses of the associated funds’ underlying
investments measured at their then-current fair values relative to the fair values as of the end of the prior period. Because of
the inherent uncertainty in measuring the fair value of investments in the absence of observable market prices as previously
discussed, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for
the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.
Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and Benefits expense includes (i) base cash compensation consisting of salaries and wages, (ii) benefits,
(iii) carry pool allocations, (iv) equity-based compensation, and (v) discretionary cash bonuses.
Discretionary Cash Bonus
To supplement base cash compensation, benefits, carry pool allocations, and equity-based compensation, we typically
pay discretionary cash bonuses, which are included in Compensation and Benefits expense in the consolidated statements of
operations, based principally on the level of (i) management fees and other fee related revenues (including incentive fees), (ii)
realized performance income, which includes realized carried interest, and (iii) realized investment income earned during the
year. The amounts paid as discretionary cash bonuses, if any, are at our sole discretion and vary from individual to individual
and from period to period, including having no cash bonus. We accrue discretionary cash bonuses when payment becomes
probable and reasonably estimable which is generally in the period when we make the decision to pay discretionary cash
bonuses and is based upon a number of factors, including the recognition of asset management segment revenues, and other
factors determined during the year.
We expect to pay our employees by assigning a percentage range to each component of asset management segment
revenues. We expect to use approximately: (i) 15%-20% of fee related revenues, (ii) 70%-80% of realized carried interest and
incentive fees not included in fee related performance revenues or earned from our hedge fund partnerships, and (iii)
10%-20% of realized investment income and hedge fund partnership incentive fees, to pay our asset management employees.
143
Table of Contents
Because these ranges are applied to applicable asset management segment revenue components independently, and on an
annual basis, the amount paid as a percentage of total asset management segment revenue will vary and will, for example,
likely be higher in a period with relatively higher realized carried interest and lower in a period with relatively lower realized
carried interest. We decide whether to pay a discretionary cash bonus and determine the percentage of applicable revenue
components to pay compensation only upon the occurrence of the realization event. There is no contractual or other binding
obligation that requires us to pay a discretionary cash bonus to the asset management employees, except in limited
circumstances.
Carry Pool Allocation
With respect to our funds that provide for carried interest, we allocate a portion of the realized and unrealized carried
interest that we earn to Associates Holdings, which we refer to as the carry pool, from which our asset management
employees and certain other carry pool participants are eligible to receive a carried interest allocation. The allocation is
determined based upon a fixed arrangement between Associates Holdings and us, and we do not exercise discretion on
whether to make an allocation to the carry pool upon a realization event. We refer to the portion of carried interest that we
allocate to the carry pool as the carry pool percentage.
Effective January 2, 2024, KKR applies a carry pool percentage of up to 80% for all funds, which is a carry pool percentage
in excess of the carry pool percentages previously fixed by investment fund as discussed further below, which depended on
the fund’s vintage. This increase to the carry pool percentage was approved by a majority of KKR's independent directors, and
the carry pool percentage may not be increased above 80% without the further approval of a majority of KKR's independent
directors. For funds that closed after December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage is fixed at 80%. For funds that closed prior
to December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage is calculated at a fixed percentage of 40%, 43%, or 65% (depending on the
fund’s vintage) for carried interest realized up to a high water mark, which was established based on the unrealized carried
interest balance that existed on January 2, 2024, plus an additional percentage amount up to 80% based on a formulaic
allocation, only if the unrealized carried interest balance at any period end exceeds the high water mark. This imposes a
limitation of the carry pool allocation for such funds based on the amount of cumulative unrealized carried interest income
earned subsequent to December 31, 2023.
For funds that closed before December 31, 2023, if the cumulative carried interest subsequent to December 31, 2023 is
not sufficient to fund this formulaic allocation, the allocation of earnings reverts to the carry pool percentage in effect before
this modification. As such, upon modification of the carry pool percentage effective on January 2, 2024, the cumulative
unrealized carried interest was not sufficient to fund the additional formulaic allocation percentage in excess of the pre-
existing 40%, 43%, and 65% carry pool percentages, and therefore no incremental expense was recognized as of such date.
The carry pool percentage applicable for all funds that closed prior to December 31, 2023 will not be less than their applicable
carry pool percentages of 40%, 43%, or 65% prior to December 31, 2023 (for funds that closed after December 31, 2020 but
before December 31, 2023, the carry pool percentage was fixed at 65%; for funds that closed after June 30, 2017 but before
December 31, 2020, the carry pool percentage was fixed at 43%; and the carry pool percentage was fixed at 40% for older
funds that contributed to KKR's carry pool), and will not be more than 80%. The intent of this modification is that for all funds
that closed prior to January 2, 2024, upon the final liquidation of each fund, realized carried interest distributed will equal the
historical fund carry pool allocations up to the high water mark and only distributions of realized carried interest in excess of
the high water mark will be distributed at 80 percent if and only if the unrealized carried interest balance at any period end
exceeds the high water mark. Under no circumstance would a distribution of carried interest exceed 80% of the total allocable
carried interest at any time.
KKR accounts for the carry pool as a compensatory profit-sharing arrangement in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
within the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition in conjunction with the related carried interest
income and it is recorded as compensation expense. The liability that is recorded in each period reflects the legal entitlement
of Associates Holdings at each point in time should the total unrealized carried interest be realized at the value recorded at
each reporting date. Upon a reversal of carried interest income, the related carry pool allocation, if any, is also reversed.
Accordingly, such compensation expense is subject to both positive and negative adjustments.
On the Sunset Date (which will not be later than December 31, 2026), KKR will acquire control of Associates Holdings and
will commence making decisions regarding the allocation of the carry proceeds pursuant to the limited partnership agreement
of Associates Holdings. Until the Sunset Date, our Co-Founders will continue to make decisions regarding the allocation of the
carry proceeds to themselves and others, pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of Associates Holdings, provided that
any allocation of carry proceeds to the Co-Founders will be on a percentage basis consistent with past practice. For additional
information about the Sunset Date and the Reorganization Agreement, see Note 1 "Organization" in our financial statements
included in this report.

Table of Contents
Equity-based Compensation
In addition to the cash-based compensation and carry pool allocations as described above, employees receive equity
awards under our Equity Incentive Plan, most of which are subject to service-based vesting typically over a three to five-year
period from the date of grant, and some of which are also subject to the achievement of market-based conditions. Certain of
these awards are subject to post-vesting transfer restrictions and minimum retained ownership requirements.
Compensation expense relating to the issuance of equity-based awards is measured at fair value on the grant date. In
determining the aggregate fair value of any award grants, we make judgments as to the grant-date fair value, particularly for
certain equity awards with a vesting condition based upon market conditions, whose grant date fair values are based on a
probability distributed Monte-Carlo simulation. See Note 19 "Equity-based Compensation,” in our financial statements
included in this report for further discussion and activity of these awards.
Investment Income (Loss) – Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities
Net gains (losses) from investment activities consist of realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from our
investment activities as well as income earned from certain equity method investments. Fluctuations in net gains (losses) from
investment activities between reporting periods is driven primarily by changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as
well as the realization of investments. The fair value of, as well as the ability to recognize gains from, our investments is
significantly impacted by the global financial markets, which, in turn, affects the net gains (losses) from investment activities
recognized in any given period. Upon the disposition of an investment, previously recognized unrealized gains and losses are
reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period. Since our investments are carried at fair
value, fluctuations between periods could be significant due to changes to the inputs to our valuation process over time. For a
further discussion of our fair value measurements and fair value of investments, see above "—Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates—Fair Value Measurements."
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Insurance
Policy liabilities, or colloquially, “reserves,” are the portion of past premiums or assessments received that are set aside
to meet future policy and contract obligations as they become due. Interest accrues on the reserves and on future premiums,
which may also be available to pay for future obligations. Global Atlantic establishes reserves to pay future policy benefits,
claims, and certain expenses for its life policies and annuity contracts.
Global Atlantic’s reserves are estimated based on models that include many actuarial assumptions and projections. These
assumptions and projections, which are inherently uncertain, involve significant judgment, including assumptions as to the
levels and/or timing of premiums, benefits, claims, expenses, interest credits, investment results (including equity market
returns), mortality, longevity, and persistency.
The assumptions on which reserves are based are intended to represent an estimation of experience for the period that
policy benefits are payable. Global Atlantic reviews the adequacy of its reserves and the assumptions underlying those
reserves at least annually. Global Atlantic cannot, however, determine with precision the amount or the timing of actual
benefit payments. If actual experience is better than or equal to the assumptions, then reserves would be adequate to
provide for future benefits and expenses. If experience is worse than the assumptions, additional reserves may be required to
meet future policy and contract obligations. This would result in a charge to Global Atlantic's net income during the period in
which excess benefits are paid or an increase in reserves occurs.
For a majority of Global Atlantic’s in-force policies, including its interest-sensitive life policies and most annuity contracts,
the base policy reserve is equal to the account value. For these products, the account value represents Global Atlantic’s
obligation to repay to the policyholder the amounts held with Global Atlantic on deposit. However, there are several
significant blocks of business where policy reserves, in addition to the account value, are explicitly calculated, including
variable annuities, fixed-indexed annuities, interest-sensitive life products (including those with secondary guarantees), and
preneed policies.
145
Table of Contents
Market Risk Benefits
Market risk benefits are contracts or contract features that both provide protection to the policyholder from other-than-
nominal capital market risk and expose Global Atlantic to other-than-nominal capital market risk. Market risk benefits include
certain contract features on fixed annuity and variable annuity products, including minimum guarantees to policyholders,
such as guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDBs"), guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits ("GMWBs"), and long-
term care benefits (which are capped at the return of account value plus one or two times the account value).
Some of Global Atlantic's variable annuity and fixed-indexed annuity contracts contain a GMDB feature that provides a
guarantee that the benefit received at death will be no less than a prescribed minimum amount, even if the account balance
is reduced to zero. This amount is based on either the net deposits paid into the contract, the net deposits accumulated at a
specified rate, the highest historical account value on a contract anniversary, or sometimes a combination of these values. If
the GMDB is higher than the current account value at the time of death, Global Atlantic incurs a cost equal to the difference.
Global Atlantic issues fixed-indexed annuity and variable annuity contracts with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal
feature. GMWB are an optional benefit where the contract owner is entitled to withdraw a maximum amount of their benefit
base each year.
Once exercised, living benefit features provide annuity policyholders with a minimum guaranteed stream of income for
life. A policyholder’s annual income benefit is generally based on an annual withdrawal percentage multiplied by the benefit
base. The benefit base is defined in the policy and is generally the initial premium, reduced by any partial withdrawals and
increased by a defined percentage, formula, or index credits. Any living benefit payments are first deducted from the account
value. Global Atlantic is responsible for paying any excess guaranteed living benefits still owed after the account value has
reached zero.
The ultimate cost of these benefits will depend on the level of market returns and the level of contractual guarantees, as
well as policyholder behavior, including surrenders, withdrawals, and benefit utilization. For Global Atlantic's fixed-indexed
annuity products, costs also include certain non-guaranteed terms that impact the ultimate cost, such as caps on crediting
rates that Global Atlantic can, in its discretion, reset annually.
See Note 17 “Policy Liabilities” in our financial statements for additional information.
As of March 31, 2026, the net market risk liability balance totaled $1.4 billion. As of March 31, 2026, the liability balances
for market risk benefits were $1.2 billion for fixed-indexed annuities and $222.8 million for variable and other annuities. The
increase (decrease) to the net market risk benefit liability balance as a result of hypothetical changes in interest rates,
instrument-specific credit risk, equity market prices, expected mortality, and expected surrenders are summarized in the table
below. This sensitivity considers the direct effect of such changes only and not changes in any other assumptions used in or
items considered in the measurement of such balances.

Policy Liabilities Accounted for Under a Fair Value Option
Variable annuity contracts offered and assumed by Global Atlantic provide the contractholder with a GMDB. The liabilities
for these benefits are included in policy liabilities. Global Atlantic elected the fair value option to measure the liability for
certain of these variable annuity contracts valued at $254.1 million as of March 31, 2026. Fair value is calculated as the
present value of the estimated death benefits less the present value of the GMDB fees, using 1,000 risk neutral scenarios.
Global Atlantic discounts the cash flows using the U.S. Treasury rates plus an adjustment for instrument-specific credit risk in
the consolidated statement of financial condition. The change in the liabilities for these benefits is included in policy benefits
and claims in the consolidated statement of operations.
As of March 31, 2026, variable annuities accounted for using the fair value option totaled $254.1 million. The increase
(decrease) in the reserves for variable annuities accounted for using the fair value option as a result of hypothetical changes in
interest rates, instrument-specific credit risk, equity market prices, expected mortality, and expected surrenders are
summarized in the table below. This sensitivity considers the direct effect of such changes only and not changes in any other
assumptions used in or items considered in the measurement of such balances.

Liability for Future Policyholder Benefits
A liability for future policy benefits, which is the present value of estimated future policy benefits to be paid to or on
behalf of policyholders and certain related expenses less the present value of estimated future net premiums to be collected
from policyholders, is accrued as premium revenue is recognized. The liability is estimated using current assumptions that
include mortality, morbidity, lapses, and expenses. These current assumptions are based on judgments that consider Global
Atlantic’s historical experience, industry data, and other factors, and are updated quarterly and the current period change in
the liability is recognized as a separate component of benefit expense in the consolidated income statement.
As of March 31, 2026, the liability for future policy benefits totaled $14.2 billion, net of reinsurance, split between $12.5
billion associated with payout annuity products, and $1.7 billion of life and other insurance products (including assumed long-
term care insurance where Global Atlantic retroceded mortality and morbidity risks to a third-party reinsurer). The increase
(decrease) as a result of hypothetical changes in interest rates, credit spreads, expected mortality, and expected surrenders
and lapses are summarized in the table below. This sensitivity considers the direct effect of such changes only and not
changes in any other assumptions used in or items considered in the measurement of such balances.

Additional Liability for Annuitization, Death, or Other Insurance Benefits: No-Lapse Guarantees
Global Atlantic has in-force interest-sensitive life contracts where it provides a secondary guarantee to the policyholder.
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 primary risk to Global Atlantic is that the premium collected under these policies, together
with the investment return Global Atlantic earns on that premium, is ultimately insufficient to pay the policyholder’s benefits
and the expenses associated with issuing and administering these policies. Global Atlantic holds an additional reserve in
connection with these guarantees.
The additional reserves related to interest-sensitive life products with secondary guarantees are calculated using
methods similar to those described above under “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Insurance—Policy Liabilities—
Market Risk Benefits.” The costs related to these secondary guarantees are recognized over the life of the contracts through
the accrual and subsequent release of a reserve which is revalued each period. The reserve is calculated based on
assessments, over a range of economic scenarios to incorporate the variability in the obligation that may occur under
different environments. The change in the reserve is included in policy benefits and claims in the consolidated statements of
operations.
As of March 31, 2026, the additional liability balance of primarily interest-sensitive life totaled $6.2 billion, net of
reinsurance. The increase (decrease) to the additional liability balance, as a result of hypothetical changes in interest rates,
equity market prices, annual equity growth, expected mortality, and expected surrenders are summarized in the table below.
This sensitivity considers the direct effect of such changes only and not changes in any other assumptions used in or items
considered in the measurement of the interest-sensitive life no-lapse guarantee liability balance.

Embedded Derivatives in Policy Liabilities and Funds Withheld
Global Atlantic's fixed-indexed annuity, variable annuity, and indexed universal life products contain equity-indexed
features, which are considered embedded derivatives and are required to be measured at fair value.
Global Atlantic calculates the embedded derivative as the present value of future projected benefits in excess of the
projected guaranteed benefits, using an option budget as the indexed account value growth rate. In addition, the fair value of
the embedded derivative is reduced to reflect instrument specific credit risk on Global Atlantic's obligation (that is, Global
Atlantic's own credit risk).
Changes in interest rates, future index credits, instrument-specific credit risk, projected withdrawal and surrender
activity, and mortality on fixed-indexed annuity and interest-sensitive life products can have a significant impact on the value
of the embedded derivative.
Valuation of Embedded Derivatives – Fixed-Indexed Annuities
Fixed-indexed annuity contracts allow the policyholder to elect a fixed interest rate of return or a market indexed strategy
where interest credited is based on the performance of an index, such as the S&P 500 Index, or other indexes. The market
indexed strategy is an embedded derivative, similar to a call option. The fair value of the embedded derivative is computed as
the present value of benefits attributable to the excess of the projected policy contract values over the projected minimum
guaranteed contract values. The projections of policy contract values are based on assumptions for future policy growth,
which include assumptions for expected index credits, future equity option costs, volatility, interest rates, and policyholder
behavior. The projections of minimum guaranteed contract values include the same assumptions for policyholder behavior as
are used to project policy contract values. The embedded derivative cash flows are discounted using a risk-free interest rate
increased by instrument-specific credit risk tied to Global Atlantic's own credit rating.
Valuation of Embedded Derivatives – Interest-Sensitive Life Products
Interest-sensitive life products allow a policyholder’s account value to grow based on the performance of certain equity
indexes, which results in an embedded derivative similar to a call option. The embedded derivative related to the index is
bifurcated from the host contract and measured at fair value. The valuation of the embedded derivative is the present value
of future projected benefits in excess of the projected guaranteed benefits, using the option budget as the indexed account
value growth rate and the guaranteed interest rate as the guaranteed account value growth rate. Present values are based on
discount rate curves determined at the valuation date or issue date as well as assumed lapse and mortality rates. The discount
rate equals the forecast treasury rate increased by instrument-specific credit risk tied to Global Atlantic’s own credit rating.
Changes in discount rates and other assumptions such as spreads and/or option budgets can have a substantial impact on the
embedded derivative.
Valuation of Embedded Derivatives in Modified Coinsurance or Funds Withheld
Global Atlantic's reinsurance agreements include modified coinsurance and coinsurance with funds withheld
arrangements that include terms that require payment by the ceding company of a principal amount plus a return that is
based on a proportion of the ceding company’s return on a designated portfolio of assets. Because the return on the funds
withheld receivable or payable is not clearly and closely related to the host insurance contract, these contracts are deemed to
contain embedded derivatives, which are measured at fair value. Global Atlantic is exposed to both the interest rate and
credit risk of the assets. Changes in discount rates and other assumptions can have a significant impact on this embedded
derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivatives is included in the funds withheld receivable at interest and funds
withheld payable at interest line items on our consolidated statement of financial condition. The change in the fair value of
the embedded derivatives is recorded in net investment-related gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of operations.

Share Repurchases in the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Under our current share repurchase program, KKR is authorized to repurchase its common stock from time to time in
open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any
common stock repurchases will be determined by KKR in its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal
requirements, price and economic and market conditions. KKR expects that the program, which has no expiration date, will
continue to be in effect until the maximum approved dollar amount has been used. The program does not require KKR to
repurchase any specific number of shares of common stock, and the program may be suspended, extended, modified or
discontinued at any time. In addition to the repurchases of common stock described above, the repurchase program is used
for the retirement (by cash settlement or the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) of equity awards
issued pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plan representing the right to receive shares of common stock.
As of May 1, 2026, there is approximately $122 million remaining under KKR's share repurchase program.
The table below sets forth the information with respect to repurchases made by or on behalf of KKR & Co. Inc. or any
"affiliated purchaser" (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act) of our common stock for the periods
presented. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 2,173,970 shares of common stock were repurchased, and 578
equity awards were retired.

(1)Our existing share repurchase program was announced in April 2024. In March 2026, the share repurchase program was amended such that when the
remaining available amount under the share repurchase program becomes $50 million or less, the total available amount under the share repurchase
program will automatically increase by an additional $500 million to the then remaining available amount (the “Share Repurchase Program Increase
Threshold”). As of May 1, 2026, there was approximately $122 million remaining under the program. Any additional increases to the total available
amount after the Share Repurchase Program Increase Threshold is reached would require a separate approval by the Board of Directors of KKR & Co. Inc.
The repurchase program does not have an expiration date.
