Negative
Q4 2024 Earnings Decline: Earnings for Q4 2024 were lower than anticipated, with a GAAP net loss of $57 million primarily due to interest rate-driven realized losses on the investment portfolio.
Underwriting Results Decline: The U.S. businesses experienced less favorable underwriting results driven by mortality experience and true-ups, leading to increased expenses related to one-time transaction impacts.
Underwriting Results Decline: International businesses reported less favorable underwriting results, particularly due to elevated U.S. dollar product surrenders and higher expenses to support business growth.
Pension Product Runoff Projections: Despite strong sales growth in retirement strategies, the anticipated annual net runoff of pension and longevity risk transfer products is projected to be between $8 billion to $10 billion, alongside legacy variable annuities runoff of $12 billion to $16 billion.
