DES MOINES, Iowa, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. $(FG)$ (F&G or the Company) a leading provider of insurance solutions serving retail annuity and life customers and institutional clients, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders (net loss) for the first quarter of $25 million, or $0.20 per diluted share (per share), compared to net earnings of $111 million, or $0.88 per share, for the first quarter of 2024. Net loss for the first quarter included $105 million of net unfavorable mark-to-market effects and $11 million of other unfavorable items; all of which are excluded from adjusted net earnings. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2024 included $17 million of net favorable mark-to-market effects and $14 million of other unfavorable items; all of which are excluded from adjusted net earnings.
Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders (adjusted net earnings) for the first quarter of $91 million, or $0.72 per share, compared to $108 million, or $0.86 per share, for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted net earnings include significant income and expense items and alternative investment portfolio returns from short-term mark-to-market movement that differ from long-term return expectations. Please see the "First Quarter 2025 Results" and "Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information" sections for further explanation.
First Quarter 2025 Summary
-- Record assets under management despite near-term pressures, driven by
continued strong indexed annuity sales: F&G achieved record assets under
management before flow reinsurance of $67.4 billion at the end of the
first quarter, an increase of 16% over the first quarter of 2024. This
included retained AUM of $54.5 billion. F&G's gross sales were $2.9
billion and net sales were $2.2 billion for the first quarter
-- Excellent credit performance in the investment portfolio: As we expected,
the investment portfolio is performing well, with 96% of fixed maturities
being investment grade. Our portfolio is conservatively positioned to
perform under various economic scenarios and well matched to our
liability profile. Credit-related impairments have remained low and
stable, averaging 6 basis points over the past five years and 2 basis
points in the first quarter
-- Lower adjusted return on assets (ROA), due to near-term headwinds as well
as short-term fluctuations in investment income from alternative
investments: Adjusted ROA of 68 basis points in the first quarter;
adjusted ROA of 100 basis points over the last twelve months $(LTM)$, down
6 basis points from 106 basis points in the fourth quarter 2024 LTM
-- Growing adjusted return on equity $(ROE)$, excluding AOCI: Adjusted ROE
excluding AOCI was 9.7% for the first quarter, up 2.3% as compared to
7.4% in the first quarter of 2024
-- On track to achieve our Investor Day targets: We continue to make strong
progress toward the medium-term targets set out at our 2023 Investor Day
-- Continued focus on organic growth and return of capital to shareholders:
F&G returned $30 million of capital to shareholders from common and
preferred dividends in the first quarter
-- Completed public offering of common stock: On March 24, 2025, F&G
completed the public offering of 8 million shares of common stock, with
net proceeds of nearly $269 million to be used for general corporate
purposes including the support of organic growth opportunities. Fidelity
National Financial, Inc., F&G's majority stockholder, purchased 4.5
million shares and held an ownership stake in F&G of approximately 82% as
of March 31, 2025
Chris Blunt, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Despite some near-term headwinds, F&G's solid foundation is underpinned by a conservatively positioned investment portfolio and the ability to optimize our capital allocation to secure the highest returning business, which positions us to succeed in an uncertain economy. We achieved record AUM before flow reinsurance of $67.4 billion, an increase of 16% from the year ago first quarter, driven by strong indexed annuity sales. Additionally, our equity offering in March provides us with the flexibility to take advantage of both opportunities to further grow the business given the strong secular tailwinds that exist as well as providing additional capital should the environment turn increasingly challenging. Overall, the credit quality of our portfolio remains high with 96% of our fixed maturities being investment grade combined with credit related impairments remaining well below our pricing assumptions over the past five years and current quarter. We remain confident that we will deliver on our medium-term Investor Day targets, to grow AUM and expand returns, in the coming years."

First Quarter 2025 Results
Record AUM before flow reinsurance was $67.4 billion as of March 31, 2025, an increase of 16% over $58.0 billion as of March 31, 2024. This included retained AUM of $54.5 billion as of March 31, 2025, an increase of 9% over $49.8 billion as of March 31, 2024. A rollforward of AUM can be found in the "Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information" section of this release.
Profitable gross sales were $2.9 billion for the first quarter, a decrease of 17% from the first quarter of 2024; this reflects our decision to allocate capital to the highest returning business, specifically indexed annuity sales and pension risk transfer sales, resulting in a reduction in MYGA sales.
Retail channel sales were $2.1 billion for the first quarter, a decrease of 25% from the first quarter of 2024; this reflects our decision to allocate capital to indexed annuity sales given the ongoing favorable economic conditions and strong demand for retirement savings products, resulting in a reduction in MYGA sales. Indexed annuity sales were $1.5 billion and indexed universal life sales were $43 million in the first quarter, both in line with the first quarter of 2024. Fixed indexed annuities continue to be our largest contributor to indexed annuity sales, although our registered index-linked annuity product is gaining traction and building momentum.
Institutional market sales were $0.8 billion for the first quarter, an increase of 14% over $0.7 billion in the first quarter of 2024. The first quarter was comprised of $0.5 billion of funding agreements and $0.3 billion of pension risk transfer sales, whereas the first quarter of 2024 was comprised of $0.1 billion of funding agreements and $0.6 billion of pension risk transfer sales. Institutional sales are opportunistic and volumes vary quarter to quarter.
Net sales were $2.2 billion for the first quarter, compared to $2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2024.
Adjusted net earnings were $91 million, or $0.72 per share, in the first quarter, compared to $108 million, or $0.86 per share for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted net earnings include significant income and expense items and alternative investment portfolio returns from short-term mark-to-market movement that differ from long-term return expectations.
-- Adjusted net earnings of $91 million, or $0.72 per share, for the first
quarter of 2025 include $16 million, or $0.12 per share, of income from a
reinsurance true-up adjustment. Investment income from alternative
investments was $63 million, or $0.48 per share, below management's
long-term expected return of approximately 10%
-- Adjusted net earnings of $108 million, or $0.86 per share, for the first
quarter of 2024 included $2 million, or $0.01 per share, of other income
items. Investment income from alternative investments was $52 million, or
$0.40 per share, below management's long-term expected return of
approximately 10%
As compared to the prior year quarter, adjusted net earnings reflect margin compression due to near-term headwinds, lower owned distribution margin and higher interest expense in line with our capital market activity; partially offset by asset growth, higher income from accretive flow reinsurance fees and disciplined expense management.
Capital and Liquidity Highlights
Total F&G equity attributable to common shareholders, excluding AOCI, was $5.8 billion, or $43.31 per share, as of March 31, 2025. This reflects a decrease of $0.97 per share, or 2%, during the quarter, including $0.78 per share net decrease for mark-to-market movements, $0.63 per share decrease from effects of the common equity offering and $0.15 per share decrease from capital actions; partially offset by $0.59 per share increase from adjusted net earnings and other.

F&G has successfully completed the following capital markets activity in the first quarter of 2025, as we expected.
-- In January, F&G issued $375 million of junior subordinated notes with net
proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, including the
repayment of debt
-- In February, F&G fully redeemed its $300 million of outstanding senior
notes due in May of 2025
-- In March, F&G completed the public offering of 8 million shares of common
stock, with net proceeds of nearly $269 million to be used for general
corporate purposes including the support of organic growth opportunities.
Fidelity National Financial, Inc., F&G's majority stockholder, purchased
4.5 million shares and held an ownership stake in F&G of approximately
82% as of March 31, 2025
Our debt-to-capitalization ratio, excluding AOCI, was 26.7% as of March 31, 2025. We remain committed to our long-term target of approximately 25% and expect that our balance sheet will naturally delever as a result of near-term growth in total equity, excluding AOCI.
During the first quarter, F&G has returned capital to shareholders from common and preferred dividends of $30 million, as compared to $26 million in the first quarter of 2024.

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 is a non-GAAP
economic measure we use to evaluate financial performance each period.
Adjusted net earnings attributable to common shareholders is calculated by
adjusting net earnings (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

adjusted net earnings provide an understanding of our overall results of
operations.

common shareholders on a GAAP basis, but positive adjusted net earnings
