Company Highlights
-- Generated record assets under management before reinsurance: F&G achieved
record assets under management before reinsurance of $74.5 billion as of
March 31, 2026, an increase of 11% over the first quarter of 2025. This
included retained AUM of $56.4 billion. F&G's gross sales were $3.2
billion and net sales were $2.2 billion for the first quarter
-- Excellent credit performance in the investment portfolio: The investment
portfolio is performing well, with 97% of fixed maturities being
investment grade. It is well matched to our liability profile and
diversified across asset types. Credit-related impairments have remained
low and stable, averaging 6 basis points over the past five years, and 3
basis points in the first quarter
-- Reported adjusted return on equity $(ROE)$ ex AOCI and adjusted return on
assets (ROA) include short-term fluctuations in investment income from
alternative investments: Adjusted ROE excluding AOCI was 8.4% and
adjusted ROA was 76 basis points for the first quarter; adjusted ROA of
87 basis points over the last twelve months $(LTM)$ was in line with the
full year 2025
-- Solid balance sheet supports both organic growth and return of capital to
shareholders: During the first quarter, F&G returned $67 million of
capital to shareholders through $38 million of common and preferred
dividends and $29 million to repurchase 1.2 million shares of common
stock. Effective March 13, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized a new
three-year share repurchase program under which F&G may repurchase up to
$100 million of common stock
Chris Blunt, F&G's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The first quarter was a solid start to the year, highlighted by record assets under management before reinsurance of nearly $75 billion fueled by $3.2 billion of gross sales in the quarter, including $2 billion of core sales from indexed annuities, indexed universal life and pension risk transfer, and $1.2 billion of opportunistic funding agreements and multiyear guaranteed annuities. Our high quality, diversified investment portfolio continues to perform extremely well, including our private origination portfolio, with total credit-related impairments stable and below our pricing assumptions."
Mr. Blunt continued, "Our diversified, self-funding capital model is supported by our annual inforce capital generation and third party capital through our reinsurance sidecar and our strategic flow reinsurance partnerships. Together, these sources of capital provide financial strength and flexibility to invest for growth in our core business, while consistently returning capital to shareholders through dividends and opportunistic share repurchases. During the first quarter, we returned $67 million of capital to shareholders through dividends and opportunistic share repurchases. We are executing on our strategy toward a more fee-based, higher margin and less capital intensive business model to drive long-term growth and shareholder value."

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

DEFINITIONS
The following represents the definitions of non-GAAP measures used by F&G:
Adjusted Net Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders
Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders (ANE) is a non-GAAP
economic measure used to evaluate financial performance each period.
ANE eliminates the impact of specific items that are not indicative of the
underlying economics of our business, including certain market volatility,
asymmetrical and noneconomic accounting, nonrecurring items and other income
and expense adjustments. These items are volatile in our reported GAAP
earnings and are not indicative of the underlying profitability drivers
reflected in the design and pricing of our products and/or our investment
and hedging strategy, as such items fluctuate from period to period in a
manner inconsistent with these drivers.
ANE provides information to enhance an investor's understanding of our
results and underlying profitability drivers by removing the impact of
short-term market volatility (i.e. recognized gains and losses, market risk
benefits remeasurement gains and losses, derivative gains and losses),
asymmetrical and non-economic accounting (i.e. derivatives and investment
hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting, deferred pension risk
transfer deferred profit liability losses), and other adjustments.
ANE is calculated by adjusting net earnings or loss attributable to common
shareholders to eliminate:
(i) Recognized gains and losses, net: the impact of net investment
gains/losses, including changes in allowance for expected credit losses and
other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses, recognized in operations;
and the effects of changes in fair value of the reinsurance related embedded
derivative and other derivatives, including interest rate swaps and
forwards;
(ii) Market related liability adjustments: the impacts related to changes in
the fair value, including both realized and unrealized gains and losses, of
index product related derivatives and embedded derivatives, net of hedging
cost; the impact of initial pension risk transfer deferred profit liability
losses, including amortization from previously deferred pension risk transfer
deferred profit liability losses; and the changes in the fair value of market
risk benefits by deferring current period changes and amortizing that amount
over the life of the market risk benefit;
(iii) Purchase price amortization: the impacts related to the amortization of
certain intangibles (internally developed software, trademarks and value of
distribution asset and the change in fair value of liabilities recognized as
a result of acquisition activities);
(iv) Transaction costs: the impacts related to acquisition, integration and
merger related items;
(v) Other and "non-recurring," "infrequent" or "unusual items": Other
adjustments include removing any charges associated with U.S. guaranty fund
assessments as these charges neither relate to the ordinary course of the
Company's business nor reflect the Company's underlying business performance,
but result from external situations not controlled by the Company. Further,
Management excludes certain items determined to be "non-recurring,"
"infrequent" or "unusual" from adjusted net earnings when incurred if it is
determined these expenses are not a reflection of the core business and when
the nature of the item is such that it is not reasonably likely to recur
within two years and/or there was not a similar item in the preceding two
years;
(vi) Non-controlling interest on non-GAAP adjustments: the portion of the
non-GAAP adjustments attributable to the equity interest of entities that F&G
does not wholly own; and
(vii) Income taxes: the income tax impact related to the above-mentioned
adjustments is measured using an effective tax rate, as appropriate by tax
jurisdiction.
Recognized gains and losses are excluded from ANE as part of both
adjustments (i) and (ii). As part of those two adjustments to ANE, all
material recognized gains and losses are removed except for periodic
settlements of interest rate swaps used to economically hedge our floating
rate investments.
While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of
F&G, market conditions and/or the non-operating nature of these items can
overshadow the underlying performance of the core business. Accordingly,
management considers this to be a useful measure internally and to investors
and analysts in analyzing the trends of our operations. Adjusted net earnings
should not be used as a substitute for net earnings (loss). However, we believe the adjustments made to net earnings (loss) in order to derive adjusted net earnings provide an understanding of our overall results of operations. Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding Adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding is the same as weighted average diluted shares outstanding except for periods in which our preferred stocks are calculated to be dilutive to either net earnings attributable to common shareholders or adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders, but not both, or there is a net earnings loss attributable to common shareholders on a GAAP basis, but positive adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders using the non-GAAP measure. The above exceptions are made to include relevant diluted shares when dilution occurs and exclude relevant diluted shares when dilution does not occur for adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders. Adjusted Net Earnings attributable to common shareholders per Diluted Share Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders per diluted share is calculated as adjusted net earnings plus preferred stock dividend (if the preferred stock has created dilution). This sum is then divided by the adjusted weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders. Adjusted Return on Assets attributable to Common Shareholders Adjusted return on assets attributable to common shareholders is calculated by dividing year-to-date annualized adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders by year-to-date AAUM. Return on assets is comprised of net investment income, less cost of funds, flow reinsurance fee income, owned distribution margin and less expenses (including operating expenses, interest expense and income taxes) consistent with our adjusted net earnings definition and related adjustments. Cost of funds includes liability costs related to cost of crediting as well as other liability costs. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing financial performance and profitability earned on AAUM. Adjusted Return on Average Common Shareholder Equity, excluding AOCI Adjusted return on average common shareholder equity is calculated by dividing the rolling four quarters adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders, by total average F&G equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI. Average equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI for the twelve month rolling period is the average of 5 points throughout the period. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be a useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level return driven by the Company's adjusted earnings. Assets Under Management (AUM) AUM is comprised of the following components and is reported net of reinsurance assets ceded in accordance with GAAP: (i) total invested assets at amortized cost, excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates, owned distribution and derivatives; (ii) investments in unconsolidated affiliates at carrying value; (iii) related party loans and investments; (iv) accrued investment income; (v) the net payable/receivable for the purchase/sale of investments; and (vi) cash and cash equivalents excluding derivative collateral at the end of the period. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the size of our investment portfolio that is retained. AUM before Reinsurance AUM before Reinsurance is comprised of AUM plus flow reinsured assets, including certain block reinsured assets. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the size of our investment portfolio including reinsured assets. Average Assets Under Management (AAUM) (Quarterly and YTD) AAUM is calculated as AUM at the beginning of the period and the end of each month in the period, divided by the total number of months in the period plus one. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the rate of return on retained assets. Book Value per Common Share, excluding AOCI Book value per Common share, excluding AOCI is calculated as total F&G equity attributable to common shareholders divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Management considers this to be a useful measure internally and for investors and analysts to assess the capital position of the Company. Debt-to-Capitalization Ratio, excluding AOCI Debt-to-capitalization ratio is computed by dividing total aggregate principal amount of debt by total capitalization (total debt plus total equity, excluding AOCI). Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing its capital position. Return on Average F&G common shareholder Equity, excluding AOCI Return on average F&G common shareholder equity, excluding AOCI is calculated by dividing the rolling four quarters net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders, by total average F&G equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI. Average F&G equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI for the twelve month rolling period is the average of 5 points throughout the period. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders. Sales Annuity, IUL, funding agreement and non-life contingent PRT sales are not derived from any specific GAAP income statement accounts or line items and should not be viewed as a substitute for any financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Sales from these products are recorded as deposit liabilities (i.e., contractholder funds) within the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Life contingent PRT sales are recorded as premiums in revenues within the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that presentation of sales, as measured for management purposes, enhances the understanding of our business and helps depict longer term trends that may not be apparent in the results of operations due to the timing of sales and revenue recognition. Total Capitalization, excluding AOCI Total capitalization, excluding AOCI is based on total equity excluding the effect of AOCI and the total aggregate principal amount of debt. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to provide useful supplemental information internally and to investors and analysts to help assess the capital position of the Company. Total Equity, excluding AOCI Total equity, excluding AOCI is based on total equity excluding the effect of AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non- GAAP financial measure to provide useful supplemental information internally and to investors and analysts assessing the level of earned equity on total equity. Total F&G Equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI Total F&G equity attributable to common shareholder, excluding AOCI is based on total F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. shareholders' equity excluding the effect of AOCI and preferred stocks, including additional paid-in-capital. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, changes in instrument-specific credit risk for market risk benefits and discount rate assumption changes for the future policy benefits, management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and for investors and analysts to assess the level of return driven by the Company that is available to common shareholders.
