Comment from Michel Khalaf, President

Total Company Discussion

Premiums, fees and other income were $13.7 billion, up 7 percent compared with the prior-

year quarter. Adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding pension risk transfers,

were $13.0 billion, up 5 percent.

Net investment income was $6.7 billion, up 18 percent, primarily due to increases in the

estimated fair value of certain securities that do not qualify as separate accounts under GAAP.

Adjusted net investment income was $5.6 billion, up 7 percent, reflecting asset growth and

investing in a higher-rate environment.

Net investment losses were $338 million after tax, reflecting normal trading activity and a

stable credit environment. Net derivative losses amounted to $610 million after tax, driven by

stronger equity markets, higher long-term interest rates, and strengthening of the U.S. dollar.

Net income was $705 million, reflecting higher adjusted earnings, partially offset by certain

investment-related items. On a per-share basis, net income increased 6 percent to $1.09.

Adjusted earnings were $1.6 billion, up 15 percent on a reported basis and 14 percent on a

constant currency basis, driven by favorable underwriting and broad-based volume growth. On a

per-share basis, adjusted earnings were $2.43, up 20 percent.

Direct expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses and PRT, was

12.1 percent, compared to 11.7 percent in the prior-year quarter, and on track for our yearly

target.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not

accessible on a forward-looking basis because we believe it is not possible without unreasonable effort to

provide other than a range of net investment gains and losses and net derivative gains and losses, which

can fluctuate significantly within or outside the range and from period to period and may have a material

impact on net income (loss).

Any financial measures shown on a constant currency basis reflect the impact of changes in foreign

currency exchange rates and are calculated using the average foreign currency exchange rates for the

current period and applied to the comparable prior period (“constant currency basis”).

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial

measures are included in this earnings news release and in this period’s earnings materials, which are

available at MetLife’s Investor Relations webpage (https://investor.metlife.com).

MetLife’s definitions of non-GAAP and other financial measures discussed in this news release may differ

from those used by other companies:

Adjusted earnings and related measures

•adjusted earnings;

•adjusted earnings available to common shareholders;

•adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, on a constant currency basis;

•adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items;

•adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, on a constant

currency basis;

•adjusted earnings available to common shareholders per diluted common share;

•adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, on a constant currency basis per diluted

common share;

•adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items per diluted

common share; and

•adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, on a constant

currency basis per diluted common share.

Adjusted earnings is used by MetLife’s chief operating decision maker, its chief executive officer, to

evaluate performance and allocate resources. Consistent with GAAP guidance for segment reporting,

adjusted earnings is MetLife’s GAAP measure of segment performance. Adjusted earnings and related

measures based on adjusted earnings are also the measures by which senior management’s and many

other employees’ performance is evaluated for the purposes of determining their compensation under

applicable compensation plans. Adjusted earnings and related measures based on adjusted earnings

allow analysis of MetLife’s performance relative to its business plan and facilitate comparisons to industry

results.

Adjusted earnings is defined as adjusted revenues less adjusted expenses, net of income tax. Adjusted

earnings available to common shareholders is defined as adjusted earnings less preferred stock

dividends.

Adjusted earnings, along with the related adjusted revenues, adjusted expenses and adjusted premiums,

fees and other revenues, focus on our primary businesses principally by excluding the impact of (i) market

volatility which could distort trends, (ii) asymmetrical and non-economic accounting, (iii) revenues and

costs related to divested businesses, and (iv) other adjustments. Also, adjusted earnings and related

measures exclude results of discontinued operations under GAAP.

Market volatility can have a significant impact on MetLife’s financial results. Adjusted earnings excludes

net investment gains (losses), net derivative gains (losses), market risk benefit remeasurement gains

(losses) and goodwill impairments. Further, net investment income is adjusted to exclude similar items

relating to joint ventures accounted for under the equity method (“Joint venture adjustments”), and

policyholder benefits and claims exclude (i) changes in the discount rate on certain annuitization

guarantees accounted for as additional liabilities and (ii) market value adjustments.

Asymmetrical and non-economic accounting adjustments are made in calculating adjusted earnings:

•Universal life and investment-type product policy fees exclude asymmetrical accounting associated

with in-force reinsurance.

•Net investment income includes earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on

derivatives that are hedges of investments or that are used to replicate certain investments, but do

not qualify for hedge accounting treatment (“Investment hedge adjustments”).

•Other revenues include settlements of foreign currency earnings hedges and exclude asymmetrical

accounting associated with in-force reinsurance.

•Policyholder benefits and claims excludes (i) inflation-indexed benefit adjustments associated with

contracts backed by inflation-indexed investments, (ii) asymmetrical accounting associated with in-

force reinsurance, and (iii) non-economic losses incurred at contract inception for certain single

premium annuity business. These losses are amortized into adjusted earnings within policyholder

benefits and claims over the estimated lives of the contracts.

•Policyholder liability remeasurement gains (losses) excludes asymmetrical accounting associated

with in-force reinsurance.

•Interest credited to policyholder account balances excludes amounts associated with periodic

crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a contractually referenced pool of assets and

other pass-through adjustments and asymmetrical accounting associated with in-force reinsurance.

“Divested businesses” are those that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife but do not meet the

discontinued operations criteria under GAAP. Divested businesses also include the net impact of

transactions with exited businesses that have been eliminated in consolidation under GAAP and costs

relating to businesses that have been or will be sold or exited by MetLife that do not meet the criteria to

be included in results of discontinued operations under GAAP.

Other adjustments are made in calculating adjusted earnings:

•Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, net investment income excludes depreciation of wholly-

owned real estate and real estate joint ventures.

•Net investment income and interest credited to policyholder account balances exclude certain

amounts related to contractholder-directed equity securities (“Unit-linked contract income” and

“Unit-linked contract costs”).

•Net investment income and other expenses exclude Reinsurance activity (as defined below).

•Net investment income and interest expense on debt exclude amounts related to collateralized

financing entities that are consolidated variable interest entities (“Consolidated collateralized

financing entities”).

•Other revenues and other expenses exclude asset management distribution fees on funds that are

passed through to distribution partners.

•Other revenues include fee revenue on synthetic guaranteed interest contracts (“GICs”) accounted

for as freestanding derivatives.

•Other expenses exclude (i) amortization and impairment of asset management intangible assets,

(ii) implementation of new insurance regulatory requirements and other costs, and (iii) acquisition,

integration and other related costs. Other expenses include (i) deductions for net income (loss)

attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests, and (ii) benefits

accrued on synthetic GICs accounted for as freestanding derivatives.

•“Reinsurance activity” relates to amounts subject to ceded reinsurance arrangements with third

parties and joint ventures, including (i) the related investment returns and expenses which are

passed through to the reinsurers and (ii) the corresponding invested assets and cash and cash

equivalents.

Adjusted earnings also excludes the recognition of certain contingent assets and liabilities that could not

be recognized at acquisition or adjusted for during the measurement period under GAAP business

combination accounting guidance.

The tax impact of the adjustments mentioned above is calculated net of the U.S. or foreign statutory tax

rate, which could differ from MetLife’s effective tax rate. Additionally, the provision for income tax

(expense) benefit also includes the impact related to the timing of certain tax credits, as well as certain tax

reforms.

In addition, adjusted earnings available to common shareholders excludes the impact of preferred stock

redemption premium, which is reported as a reduction to net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s

common shareholders.

Investment portfolio gains (losses) and derivative gains (losses)

These are measures of investment and hedging activity. Investment portfolio gains (losses) principally

excludes amounts that are reported within net investment gains (losses) but do not relate to the

performance of the investment portfolio, such as gains (losses) on sales and divestitures of businesses,

as well as investment portfolio gains (losses) of divested businesses. Derivative gains (losses) principally

excludes earned income on derivatives and amortization of premium on derivatives, where such

derivatives are either hedges of investments or are used to replicate certain investments, and where such

derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting. This earned income and amortization of premium is

reported within adjusted earnings and not within derivative gains (losses).

Return on equity and related measures

•Total MetLife, Inc.’s adjusted common stockholders’ equity: total MetLife, Inc.’s common

stockholders’ equity, excluding unrealized investment gains (losses), net of related offsets, deferred

gains (losses) on derivatives, future policy benefits discount rate remeasurement gains (losses),

market risk benefits instrument-specific credit risk remeasurement gains (losses), defined benefit

plans adjustment components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and the

embedded derivatives related to funds withheld on ceded reinsurance (representing unrealized

investment gains (losses) passed through to reinsurers), all net of income tax.

•Total MetLife, Inc.’s adjusted common stockholders’ equity, excluding total notable items: total

MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity, excluding unrealized investment gains (losses), net of

related offsets, deferred gains (losses) on derivatives, future policy benefits discount rate

remeasurement gains (losses), market risk benefits instrument-specific credit risk remeasurement

gains (losses), defined benefit plans adjustment components of AOCI, the embedded derivatives

related to funds withheld on ceded reinsurance (representing unrealized investment gains (losses)

passed through to reinsurers) and total notable items, all net of income tax.

•Return on MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity: net income (loss) available to MetLife, Inc.’s

common shareholders divided by MetLife, Inc.’s average common stockholders’ equity.

•Adjusted return on MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity: adjusted earnings available to

common shareholders divided by MetLife, Inc.’s average adjusted common stockholders’ equity.

•Adjusted return on MetLife, Inc.’s common stockholders’ equity, excluding total notable items:

adjusted earnings available to common shareholders, excluding total notable items, divided by

MetLife, Inc.’s average adjusted common stockholders’ equity, excluding total notable items.

The above measures represent a level of equity that excludes most components of AOCI, such as

unrealized investment gains (losses), net of related offsets, and future policy benefits discount rate

remeasurement gains (losses), as well as the impact of certain ceded reinsurance-related embedded

derivatives, as these amounts are primarily driven by market volatility.

Expense ratio, direct expense ratio, adjusted expense ratio and related measures

•Expense ratio: other expenses, net of capitalization of DAC, divided by premiums, fees and other

revenues.

•Direct expense ratio: direct expenses divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues. Direct

expenses are comprised of employee-related costs, third-party staffing costs, and general and

administrative expenses.

•Direct expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses and PRT: direct

expenses, excluding total notable items related to direct expenses, divided by adjusted premiums,

fees and other revenues, excluding PRT.

•Adjusted expense ratio: adjusted other expenses, net of adjusted capitalization of DAC, divided by

adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues.

•Adjusted expense ratio, excluding total notable items related to adjusted other expenses and PRT:

adjusted other expenses, net of adjusted capitalization of DAC, excluding total notable items related

to adjusted other expenses, divided by adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding PRT.

Assets Under Management (“AUM”)

•Total Assets Under Management (“Total AUM”) is comprised of MIM GA AUM plus Institutional Client

AUM (each, as defined below).

•MIM General Account AUM (“MIM GA AUM”) is used by MetLife to describe the portion of GA AUM

(as defined below) that MetLife Investment Management, LLC and certain of its affiliates (“MIM”)

manages or advises.

•General Account AUM (“GA AUM”) is used by MetLife to describe assets in its general account

(“GA”) investment portfolio. GA AUM is stated at estimated fair value and is comprised of GA total

investments, the portion of the GA investment portfolio classified within assets held-for-sale, cash

and cash equivalents, and accrued investment income on such assets, and excludes policy loans,

certain contractholder-directed equity securities, fair value option securities, mortgage loans

originated for third parties, assets subject to ceded reinsurance arrangements with third parties and

joint ventures, and certain other invested assets. Mortgage loans and real estate and real estate joint

ventures included in GA AUM (at net asset value, net of deduction for encumbering debt) have been

adjusted from carrying value to estimated fair value. Classification of GA AUM by sector is based on

the nature and characteristics of the underlying investments which can vary from how they are

classified under GAAP. Accordingly, the underlying investments within certain real estate and real

estate joint ventures that are primarily commercial mortgage loans (at net asset value, net of

deduction for encumbering debt) have been reclassified to exclude them from real estate and real

estate joint ventures and include them as commercial mortgage loans.

•Institutional Client AUM is comprised of SA AUM plus Reinsurance AUM plus TP AUM (each, as

defined below). MIM manages or advises Institutional Client AUM in accordance with client

guidelines contained in each investment advisory agreement.

◦Separate Account AUM (“SA AUM”) is comprised of separate account investment portfolios, which

are managed or advised by MIM and included in MetLife, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements

at estimated fair value, as well as accrued investment income on such assets.

◦Reinsurance AUM is comprised of GA assets subject to ceded reinsurance arrangements with

third parties and joint ventures, which are managed or advised by MIM and are generally included

in MetLife, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements at estimated fair value, as well as accrued

investment income on such assets.

◦Third-Party AUM (“TP AUM”) is comprised of non-proprietary assets managed or advised by MIM

on behalf of unaffiliated/third-party clients, which are stated at estimated fair value, as well as

accrued investment income on such assets. Such non-proprietary assets are owned by

unaffiliated/third-party clients and, accordingly, are generally not included in MetLife, Inc.’s

consolidated financial statements.

•Asia General Account AUM (“Asia GA AUM”) is used by MetLife to describe assets in its Asia GA

investment portfolio. Asia GA AUM is stated at estimated fair value and is comprised of Asia GA total

investments, the portion of the Asia GA investment portfolio classified within assets held-for-sale,

cash and cash equivalents, and accrued investment income on such assets, and excludes policy

loans, certain contractholder-directed equity securities, fair value option securities, mortgage loans

originated for third parties, assets subject to ceded reinsurance arrangements with third parties and

joint ventures, and certain other invested assets. Mortgage loans and real estate and real estate joint

ventures included in Asia GA AUM (at net asset value, net of deduction for encumbering debt) have

been adjusted from carrying value to estimated fair value. At the segment level, intersegment

balances (intercompany activity, primarily related to investments in subsidiaries that eliminate at the

MetLife consolidated level) are excluded from Asia GA AUM.

Asia GA AUM (at amortized cost) excludes the following adjustments: (i) unrealized gain (loss) on

investments carried at estimated fair value and (ii) adjustments from carrying value to estimated fair

value on mortgage loans and real estate and real estate joint ventures. Asia GA AUM (at amortized

cost) is presented net of related allowance for credit loss.

retirement products such as variable annuity, fixed annuity and pensions), 20% of single premium

deposits from credit insurance and 100% of annualized full-year premiums and fees from

recurring-premium policy sales of all products (mainly from risk and protection products such as

individual life, accident & health and group).

Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, but are used as relevant measures of

business activity.

•Volume growth, where cited, represents the change in certain measures of our segment results,

including adjusted earnings, attributable to business growth, applying a model in which certain

margins and factors are held constant, the most significant of which are underwriting margins,

investment margins, changes in equity market performance, expense margins and the impact of

changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

•PRT includes U.K. funded reinsurance.

•Institutional net flows reflect Institutional Client AUM total fund additions less withdrawals.

•“Third-party mortgage loan activity” relates to amounts associated with mortgage loans originated

and acquired for third parties, including (i) the related investment returns and expenses which are

passed through to the third-party lenders and (ii) the corresponding mortgage loan assets.

•We refer to observable forward yield curves as of a particular date in connection with making our

estimates for future results. The observable forward yield curves at a given time are based on

implied future interest rates along a range of interest rate durations. This includes the 10-year U.S.

Treasury rate which we use as a benchmark rate to describe longer-term interest rates used in our

estimates for future results.

•Notable items reflect the unexpected impact of events that affect MetLife’s results, but that were

unknown and that MetLife could not anticipate when it devised its business plan. Notable items also

include certain items regardless of the extent anticipated in the business plan, to help investors have

a better understanding of MetLife’s results and to evaluate and forecast those results. Notable items

represent a positive (negative) impact to adjusted earnings available to common shareholders.

•Holding company cash and liquid assets are held by MetLife, Inc. collectively with other MetLife

holding companies and include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and publicly

traded securities excluding assets that are pledged or otherwise committed. Assets pledged or

otherwise committed include amounts received in connection with securities lending, repurchase

agreements, derivatives, regulatory deposits, the collateral financing arrangement, funding

agreements and secured borrowings, as well as amounts held in the closed block.

•MetLife uses a measure of free cash flow to facilitate an understanding of its ability to generate cash

for reinvestment into its businesses or use in non-mandatory capital actions. MetLife defines free

cash flow as the sum of cash available at MetLife’s holding companies from dividends from operating

subsidiaries, expenses and other net flows of the holding companies (including capital contributions

to subsidiaries), and net contributions from debt to be at or below target leverage ratios. This

measure of free cash flow is prior to capital actions, such as common stock dividends and

repurchases, debt reduction and mergers and acquisitions. Free cash flow should not be viewed as

a substitute for net cash provided by (used in) operating activities calculated in accordance with

GAAP. The free cash flow ratio is typically expressed as a percentage of annual adjusted earnings

available to common shareholders.
