This measure should be considered supplementary to the Company’s financial results that are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures. Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way the Company calculates such measures.

Investment income is allocated to the operating segments based upon average assets and related capital levels deemed appropriate to support segment operations.
Current wording
The average yield will vary from year to year depending on several variables, including the prevailing risk-free interest rate and credit spread environment, prepayment fees and make-whole premiums, changes in the mix of the underlying investments and cash and cash equivalents balances. Variable investment income from limited partnerships and real estate joint ventures will also vary from year to year and is highly dependent on the timing of dividends and distributions on certain investments. Investment income is allocated to the operating segments based upon average assets and related capital levels deemed appropriate to support segment operations.
Previous wording

Previous wording
The U.S. and Latin America operations consist of two major segments: Traditional and Financial Solutions. The Traditional segment primarily specializes in the reinsurance of individual mortality-risk, long-term care, universal life products and, to a lesser extent, group reinsurance. The Financial Solutions segment consists of Asset-Intensive and Capital Solutions. Asset-Intensive within the Financial Solutions segment includes coinsurance of products which primarily exhibit interest rate and market risks such as annuities, corporate-owned life insurance policies, PRT group annuity contracts and, to a lesser extent, fee-based synthetic guaranteed investment contracts, indexed and variable life insurance, investment only and stable value contracts. Effective, January 1, 2025, newly issued FABN issuances are included in the U.S. Financial Solutions segment. Capital Solutions within the Financial Solutions segment primarily involves assisting ceding companies in meeting applicable regulatory requirements by enhancing the ceding companies’ financial strength and regulatory surplus position through relatively low risk reinsurance and other transactions. Typically, these transactions do not qualify as reinsurance under GAAP due to the low-risk nature of the transactions; therefore only the related net fees are reflected in other revenues.

Non-GAAP Measure – Consolidated adjusted operating income before income taxes is not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company principally uses consolidated adjusted operating income before income taxes in evaluating performance because the Company believes that such measure, when reviewed in conjunction with the relevant U.S. GAAP measure (income before income taxes), presents a clearer picture of its operating performance and assists the Company in the allocation of its resources.
