Corebridge Financial, Inc. ("Corebridge" or the "Company") (NYSE:CRBG) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"Corebridge delivered strong financial results in the first quarter," said Marc Costantini, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Earnings per share and return on equity both improved year over year. This, alongside consistent organic growth and the proceeds from our variable annuity transaction, supported a record return of capital to shareholders through repurchases.

"We are making excellent progress toward closing our transformative merger with Equitable, a deal that will enhance our scale, diversification, and cash generation. Regulatory filings remain on track, and our leadership team for the combined company is finalized and will be announced shortly. Furthermore, our newly established integration management office is already hard at work to ensure a seamless transition for all stakeholders.

"Our success is built on a steadfast commitment to putting the customer at the center of everything we do. That means delivering a differentiated customer-value proposition through product breadth and innovation, and being the easiest company to do business with. At five months into my tenure, I'm impressed at the speed and focus the team has brought to digitizing our processes across every stage of the customer journey."

Net loss was $53 million, compared to a loss of $664 million in the prior year quarter. The variance largely was a result of realized gains on the Fortitude Re ("FRL") funds withheld embedded derivative versus realized losses in the prior year period.

Adjusted pre-tax operating income ("APTOI") was $629 million, or an 11% decrease from the prior year quarter. Excluding variable investment income ("VII") and notable items, APTOI decreased 1% from the same period, driven by lower spread income and lower underwriting gains, partially offset by increases in our fee-based products.

Core sources of income excluding notable items was $1.5 billion, a 1% increase from the prior year quarter largely due to higher fee income, partially offset by lower base spread income and underwriting margin.

Premiums and deposits were $8.0 billion, a 10% decrease from the prior year quarter. Excluding transactional activity (i.e., pension risk transfer, guaranteed investment contracts and Group Retirement plan acquisitions), premiums and deposits declined 2% from the same period primarily driven by lower fixed annuity sales, partially offset by higher fixed index annuity and RILA deposits.

Neither the Company nor Equitable Holdings gives any assurance that the Company, Equitable Holdings or their new parent company will achieve the results or other matters set forth in the forward-looking statements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Throughout this release, we present our financial condition and results of operations in the way we believe will be most meaningful and representative of our business results. Some of the measurements we use are ‘‘non-GAAP financial measures'' under SEC rules and regulations. We believe presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures allows for a deeper understanding of the profitability drivers of our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results of operations and financial condition that are presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted pre-tax operating income ("APTOI") is derived by excluding the items set forth below from income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit). These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and recording adjustments to APTOI that we believe to be common in our industry. We believe the adjustments to pre-tax income are useful for gaining an understanding of our overall results of operations.

APTOI excludes the impact of the following items:

FORTITUDE RE RELATED ADJUSTMENTS:

The modified coinsurance ("modco") reinsurance agreements with Fortitude Re transfer the economics of the invested assets supporting the reinsurance agreements to Fortitude Re. Accordingly, the net investment income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and the net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets are excluded from APTOI. Similarly, changes in the Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative are also excluded from APTOI.

The ongoing results associated with the reinsurance agreement with Fortitude Re have been excluded from APTOI as these are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.

INVESTMENT RELATED ADJUSTMENTS:

APTOI excludes "Net realized gains (losses)", except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments. Net realized gains (losses), except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments, are excluded as the timing of sales on invested assets or changes in allowances depend largely on market credit cycles and can vary considerably across periods. In addition, changes in interest rates may create opportunistic scenarios to buy or sell invested assets. Our derivative results, including those used to economically hedge insurance liabilities, or those recognized as embedded derivatives at fair value, are also included in Net realized gains (losses) and are similarly excluded from APTOI except earned income (periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedges or for asset replication. Earned income on such economic hedges is reclassified from Net realized gains and losses to specific APTOI line items based on the economic risk being hedged (e.g., Net investment income and Interest credited to policyholder account balances).

MARKET RISK BENEFIT ADJUSTMENTS ("MRBs"):

Certain of our variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts contain GMWBs and/or GMDBs which are accounted for as MRBs. Changes in the fair value of these MRBs (excluding changes related to our own credit risk), including certain rider fees attributed to the MRBs are excluded from APTOI. MRBs related to the variable annuity business subject to the reinsurance agreements with Corporate Solutions Life Reinsurance Company ("CSLR") are reported in the "Businesses exited through reinsurance" line item.

BUSINESSES EXITED THROUGH REINSURANCE:

Represents the results of businesses that have been or will be economically exited through reinsurance. This includes MRBs, along with changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge MRBs which are recorded through "Change in the fair value of MRBs, net." The results of operations from these businesses have been excluded from APTOI as they are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.

OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

Other adjustments represent all other adjustments that are excluded from APTOI and includes the net pre-tax operating income (losses) from noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment entities. The excluded adjustments include, as applicable:

restructuring and other costs related to initiatives designed to reduce operating expenses, improve efficiency and simplify our organization;
non-recurring costs associated with the implementation of non-ordinary course legal or regulatory changes or changes to accounting principles;
separation costs;
non-operating litigation reserves and settlements;
loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, if any;
losses from the impairment of goodwill, if any; and
income and loss from divested or run-off business, if any.

Adjusted After-tax Operating Income Available to Corebridge Common Shareholders ("Adjusted After-tax Operating Income" or "AATOI") is derived by excluding the tax effected APTOI adjustments described above and preferred stock dividends, as well as the following tax items from net income attributable to us:

reclassifications of disproportionate tax effects from AOCI, changes in uncertain tax positions and other tax items related to legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; and
deferred income tax valuation allowance releases and charges.

Adjusted Book Value Available to Corebridge Common Shareholders is derived by excluding preferred stock as well as AOCI, adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re's funds withheld assets. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio for which there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities that are not recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through OCI. It also eliminates asymmetrical impacts where our own credit non-performance risk is recorded through OCI. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re's funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re.

Adjusted Return on Average Equity Available to Common Shareholders ("Adjusted ROAE") is derived by dividing AATOI by average Adjusted Book Value available to Common Shareholders and is used by management to evaluate our recurring profitability and evaluate trends in our business. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio for which there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities that are not recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through OCI. It also eliminates asymmetrical impacts where our own credit non-performance risk is recorded through OCI. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re's funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re.

Adjusted revenues exclude Net realized gains (losses) except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments, revenues from businesses exited through reinsurance, and income from non-operating litigation settlements (included in Other income for GAAP purposes).

Net investment income (APTOI basis) is the sum of base portfolio income and variable investment income. We believe that presenting net investment income on an APTOI basis is useful for gaining an understanding of the main drivers of investment income.

Operating Earnings per Common Share ("Operating EPS") is derived by dividing AATOI by weighted average diluted shares.

Premiums and deposits is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes direct and assumed premiums received and earned on traditional life insurance policies and life-contingent payout annuities, as well as deposits received on universal life insurance, investment-type annuity contracts and GICs. We believe the measure of premiums and deposits is useful in understanding customer demand for our products, evolving product trends and our sales performance period over period.
