PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL INC

We maintain diversified investment portfolios in our general account to support our liabilities to customers as well as our other general liabilities. Investments and other assets that do not support general account liabilities, and are therefore excluded from our general account, are as follows:

•assets of our derivative operations;

•assets of our investment management operations, including investments managed for third parties; and

•those assets classified as “Separate account assets” on our balance sheet.

A portion of our general account investments support customer liabilities reinsured under coinsurance with funds withheld and modified coinsurance arrangements. With these reinsurance arrangements, we retain legal ownership of the assets (collectively, the “Funds Withheld") which remain on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, while the economic benefits and investment risk associated with the Funds Withheld assets ultimately inure to the reinsurer. The composition of the Funds Withheld assets is subject to investment guidelines specific to the reinsurance treaties, which may differ from the investment guidelines we set for our General Account, excluding Funds Withheld. The investment guidelines are in place to ensure the investment risks associated with Funds Withheld portfolios are appropriately managed. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our material reinsurance agreements.

The general account portfolios, excluding Funds Withheld, are managed pursuant to the distinct objectives and investment policy statements of PFI excluding the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld, and of the Closed Block division. The primary investment objectives of PFI excluding the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld include:

•hedging and otherwise managing the market risk characteristics of the major product liabilities and other obligations of the Company;

•optimizing investment income yield within risk constraints over time; and

•for certain portfolios, optimizing total return, including both investment income yield and capital appreciation, within risk constraints over time, while managing the market risk exposures associated with the corresponding product liabilities.

We pursue our objective to optimize investment income yield for PFI excluding the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld over time through:

•the investment of net operating cash flows, including new product premium inflows, and proceeds from investment sales, repayments and prepayments into investments with attractive risk-adjusted yields; and

•the sale of investments, where appropriate, either to meet various cash flow needs or to manage the portfolio's risk exposure profile with respect to duration, credit, currency and other risk factors, while considering the impact on taxes and capital.

The primary investment objectives of the Closed Block division include:

•providing for the reasonable dividend expectations of the participating policyholders within the Closed Block division; and

•optimizing total return, including both investment income yield and capital appreciation, within risk constraints, while managing the market risk exposures associated with the major product liabilities in the Closed Block division.

Our portfolio management approach, while emphasizing our investment income yield and asset/liability risk management objectives, also takes into account the capital and tax implications of portfolio activity and our assertions regarding our ability and intent to hold debt securities to recovery. For a further discussion of our allowance for credit losses, including our assertions regarding any intention or requirement to sell debt securities before anticipated recovery, see “—Realized Investment Gains and Losses—Credit Losses” below.

Management of Investments

The Investment Committee of our Board of Directors (“Board”) oversees our proprietary investments, including our general account portfolios excluding Funds Withheld, and regularly reviews performance and risk positions. Our Chief Investment Officer Organization (“CIO Organization”) develops investment policies subject to risk limits proposed by our Risk Management group for the general account portfolios excluding Funds Withheld of our domestic and international insurance subsidiaries and directs and oversees management of the general account portfolios within risk limits approved annually by the Investment Committee.

The CIO Organization, including related functions within our insurance subsidiaries, works closely with product actuaries and Risk Management to understand the characteristics of our products and their associated market risk exposures. This information is incorporated into the development of target asset portfolios that manage market risk exposures associated with the liability characteristics and establish investment risk exposures, within tolerances prescribed by Prudential’s investment risk limits, on which we expect to earn an attractive risk-adjusted return. We develop asset strategies for specific classes of product liabilities and attributed or accumulated surplus, each with distinct risk characteristics. Market risk exposures associated with the liabilities include interest rate risk, which is addressed through the duration characteristics of the target asset mix, and currency risk, which is addressed by the currency profile of the target asset mix. In certain of our smaller markets outside of the U.S. and Japan, capital markets limitations hinder our ability to hedge interest rate exposure to the same extent we do for our U.S. and Japan businesses and lead us to accept a higher degree of interest rate risk in these smaller portfolios. General account portfolios typically include allocations to credit and other investment risks as a means to enhance investment yields and returns over time.

Most of our products can be categorized into the following three classes:

•interest-crediting products for which the rates credited to customers are periodically adjusted to reflect market and competitive forces and actual investment experience, such as fixed annuities and universal life insurance;

•participating individual and experience-rated group products in which customers participate in actual investment and business results through annual dividends, interest or return of premium; and

•products with fixed or guaranteed terms, such as traditional whole life and endowment products, guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”), funding agreements and payout annuities.

Our total investment portfolio is composed of a number of operating portfolios. Each operating portfolio backs a specific set of liabilities, and the portfolios have a target asset mix that supports the liability characteristics, including duration, cash flow, liquidity needs and other criteria. As of December 31, 2025, the average duration of our domestic general account investment portfolios attributable to PFI excluding the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld, including the impact of derivatives, was between 5 and 6 years. As of December 31, 2025, the average duration of our international general account portfolios attributable to our Japanese insurance operations, including the impact of derivatives, was between 8 and 9 years and represented a blend of yen-denominated and U.S. dollar and Australian dollar-denominated investments, which have distinct average durations supporting the insurance liabilities we have issued in those currencies. Our asset/liability management process has enabled us to manage our portfolios through several market cycles.

We implement our portfolio strategies primarily through investment in a broad range of fixed income assets, including government and agency securities, public and private corporate bonds and structured securities and mortgage loans. In addition, we hold allocations of non-coupon investments, which include equity securities and other invested assets such as limited partnerships and limited liability companies (“LPs/LLCs”), real estate held through direct ownership, derivative instruments, and seed money investments in separate accounts.

We manage our public fixed maturity portfolio to a risk profile directed or overseen by the CIO Organization and Risk Management groups and to a profile that also reflects the market environments impacting both our domestic and international insurance portfolios. The return that we earn on the portfolio will be reflected in investment income and in realized gains or losses on investments.

We use privately-placed corporate debt securities and mortgage loans, which consist of mortgages on diversified properties in terms of geography, property type and borrowers, to enhance the yield on our portfolios and to improve the overall diversification of the portfolios. Private placements typically offer enhanced yields due to an illiquidity premium and generally offer enhanced credit protection in the form of covenants. Our origination capability offers the opportunity to lead transactions and gives us the opportunity for better terms, including covenants and call protection, and to take advantage of innovative deal structures.

Derivative strategies are employed in the context of our risk management framework to enhance our ability to manage interest rate and currency risk exposures of the asset portfolio relative to the liabilities and to manage credit and equity positions in the investment portfolios. For a discussion of our risk management process, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” below.

Our portfolio asset allocation reflects our emphasis on diversification across asset classes, sectors and issuers. The CIO Organization, directly and through related functions within the insurance subsidiaries, implements portfolio strategies primarily through Prudential’s PGIM segment. Activities of the PGIM segment on behalf of the general account portfolios are directed and overseen by the CIO Organization and monitored by Risk Management for compliance with investment risk limits.

Portfolio Composition

Our investment portfolio consists of public and private fixed maturity securities, commercial mortgage and other loans, policy loans and non-coupon investments, which include equity securities and other invested assets such as LPs/LLCs, real estate held through direct ownership, derivative instruments and seed money investments in separate accounts. The composition of our general account reflects, within the discipline provided by our risk management approach, our need for competitive results and the selection of diverse investment alternatives available primarily through our PGIM segment. The size of our portfolio enables us to invest in asset classes that may be unavailable to the typical investor.

The following tables set forth the composition of our general account investment portfolio apportioned between PFI excluding the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld, the Closed Block division, and Funds Withheld as of the dates indicated:

(1)Other invested assets consist of investments in LPs/LLCs, investment real estate held through direct ownership, derivative instruments and other miscellaneous investments. For additional information regarding these investments, see “—Other Invested Assets” below.

(2)Includes invested assets of our investment management and derivative operations. Excludes assets of our investment management operations that are managed for third parties and those assets classified as “Separate account assets” on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. For additional information regarding these investments, see “—Invested Assets of Other Entities and Operations” below.

The increase in general account investments attributable to PFI excluding the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld in 2025 was primarily due to net business inflows, a net decrease in U.S. interest rates and the translation impact of the U.S. dollar weakening against the yen, partially offset by assets transferred due to the Prismic Re International transaction and an increase in Japan interest rates. For information regarding the methodology used in determining the fair value of our fixed maturities, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 39% and 42%, respectively, of our general account investments attributable to PFI excluding the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld related to our Japanese insurance operations. The following table sets forth the composition of the investments of our Japanese insurance operations’ general account, as of the dates indicated:

(1)Other invested assets consist of investments in LPs/LLCs, investment real estate held through direct ownership, derivative instruments and other miscellaneous investments.

The decrease in general account investments related to our Japanese insurance operations in 2025 was primarily due to the Prismic Re International transaction and an increase in Japan interest rates, partially offset by net business inflows and a decrease in U.S. interest rates.

As of December 31, 2025, our Japanese insurance operations had $95.7 billion, at carrying value, of investments denominated in U.S. dollars, including $1.7 billion that were hedged to yen through third-party derivative contracts and $86.6 billion that support liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder constituting part of the hedging of foreign currency exchange rate exposure to U.S. dollar-equivalent equity. As of December 31, 2024, our Japanese insurance operations had $88.1 billion, at carrying value, of investments denominated in U.S. dollars, including $1.0 billion that were hedged to yen through third-party derivative contracts and $80.5 billion that support liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder constituting part of the hedging of foreign currency exchange rate exposure of U.S. dollar-equivalent equity. The $7.6 billion increase in the carrying value of U.S. dollar-denominated investments from December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to portfolio growth as a result of net business inflows and a net decrease in U.S. interest rates, partially offset by the Prismic Re International transaction.

Our Japanese insurance operations had $1.9 billion and $2.5 billion, at carrying value, of investments denominated in Australian dollars that support liabilities denominated in Australian dollars as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $0.6 billion decrease in the carrying value of Australian dollar-denominated investments from December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to run-off of the portfolio. For additional information regarding U.S. and Australian dollar investments held in our Japanese insurance operations and a discussion of our yen hedging strategy, see “—External and Economic Factors—Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” above.

Investment Results

The following tables set forth the investment results of our general account apportioned between PFI excluding the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld, the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld, for the periods indicated. The yields are based on net investment income as reported under U.S. GAAP and as such do not include certain interest-related items, such as settlements of duration management swaps which are included in “Realized investment gains (losses), net.”

(1)The denominator in the yield percentage is based on quarterly average carrying values for all asset types except for fixed maturities which are based on amortized cost, net of allowance. Amounts for fixed maturities, short-term investments and cash equivalents are also netted for securities lending activity (i.e., income netted for rebate expenses and asset values netted for securities lending liabilities). A yield is not presented for other invested assets as it is not considered a meaningful measure of investment performance. Yields exclude investment income and assets related to other invested assets. The year ended December 31, 2024 has been updated to reflect the correction of an error.

(2)Includes fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity and excludes fixed maturity securities classified as trading, which are included in other invested assets.

(3)Other invested assets consist of investments in LPs/LLCs, investment real estate held through direct ownership, derivative instruments, fixed maturities classified as trading and other miscellaneous investments.

(4)Includes net investment income of our investment management operations.

(5)The total yield excluding Funds Withheld was 4.29%, 4.22% and 4.01% for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The increase in investment income after investment expenses yield attributable to our general account investments, excluding the Closed Block division, Funds Withheld and the Japanese insurance operations’ portfolios for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily the result of higher fixed income reinvestment rates.

The increase in investment income after investment expenses yield attributable to the Japanese insurance operations’ portfolio for 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily the result of higher fixed income reinvestment rates.

Both the U.S. dollar-denominated and Australian dollar-denominated fixed maturities that are not hedged to yen through third-party derivative contracts provide a yield that is substantially higher than the yield on comparable yen-denominated fixed maturities. The average amortized cost of U.S. dollar-denominated fixed maturities that are not hedged to yen through third-party derivative contracts was $71.4 billion and $67.0 billion, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The majority of U.S. dollar-denominated fixed maturities support liabilities that are denominated in U.S. dollars. The average amortized cost of Australian dollar-denominated fixed maturities that are not hedged to yen through third-party derivative contracts was $2.0 billion and $3.1 billion, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The majority of Australian dollar-denominated fixed maturities support liabilities that are denominated in Australian dollars. For additional information regarding U.S. and Australian dollar investments held in our Japanese insurance operations, see “—External and Economic Factors—Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” above.

Realized Investment Gains and Losses

The following table sets forth “Realized investment gains (losses), net” of our general account apportioned between PFI excluding the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld, the Closed Block division and Funds Withheld, by investment type for the periods indicated:

(1)Amounts represent write-downs of credit adverse securities, securities where it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell prior to the recovery of the amortized cost basis and securities actively marketed for sale.

(2)Includes fixed maturity securities classified as available-for-sale and excludes fixed maturity securities classified as trading.

(3)Includes “realized investment gains (losses), net” of our investment management operations.

(4)Prior period amounts have been updated to conform to current period presentation.

The following analysis reflects realized gains (losses) attributable to PFI excluding Closed Block Division and Funds Withheld.

2025 to 2024 Annual Comparison. Net losses on sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities were $251 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily driven by net losses on sales in a higher interest rate environment, partially offset by net gains on assets transferred upon execution of the reinsurance transaction with Prismic Re International and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on U.S. dollar-denominated securities that matured or were sold within our International Businesses. Net losses on sales and maturities of fixed maturity securities were $1,037 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily driven by net losses on sales in a higher interest rate environment, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements on U.S. dollar-denominated securities that matured or were sold within our International Businesses.

Net realized losses on derivative instruments of $1,792 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily included:

•$956 million of net losses on product-related hedge positions and related embedded derivatives including those unfavorably impacted by the annual review and update of assumptions and other refinements within Individual Life; and

•$767 million of losses on foreign currency hedges primarily due to U.S. dollar depreciation versus foreign currencies.

Net realized gains on derivative instruments of $78 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily included:

•$682 million of net gains on product-related hedge positions and related embedded derivatives;

•$513 million of gains on foreign currency hedges primarily due to U.S. dollar appreciation versus foreign currencies;

•$100 million of gains on synthetic GICs; and

•$94 million of gains on credit default swaps due to credit spreads tightening.

Partially offsetting these gains were:

•$1,311 million of losses on interest rate derivatives due to increases in swap and U.S. Treasury rates.

For a discussion of living benefit guarantees and related hedge positions in our Individual Retirement Strategies business, see “—Results of Operations by Segment—Retirement Strategies” above.

Credit Losses

The level of credit losses generally reflects current and expected economic conditions and is expected to increase when economic conditions worsen and to decrease when economic conditions improve. Historically, the causes of credit losses have been specific to each individual issuer and have not directly resulted in credit losses to other securities within the same industry or geographic region. We may also realize additional credit and interest rate-related losses through sales of investments pursuant to our credit risk and portfolio management objectives.

We maintain separate monitoring processes for public and private fixed maturities and create watch lists to highlight securities that require special scrutiny and management. For private placements, our credit and portfolio management processes help ensure prudent controls over valuation and management. We have separate pricing and authorization processes to establish “checks and balances” for new investments. We apply consistent standards of credit analysis and due diligence for all transactions, whether they originate through our own in-house staff or through agents. Our regional offices closely monitor the portfolios in their regions. We set all valuation standards centrally, and we assess the fair value of all investments quarterly. Our public and private fixed maturity investment managers formally review all public and private fixed maturity holdings on a quarterly basis and more frequently when necessary to identify potential credit deterioration whether due to ratings downgrades, unexpected price variances and/or company or industry-specific concerns.

For LPs/LLCs accounted for using the equity method and for wholly-owned investment real estate, the carrying value of these investments is written down or impaired to fair value when a decline in value is considered to be other-than-temporary. For additional information regarding our OTTI policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

General Account Investments of PFI excluding Closed Block Division and Funds Withheld

In the following sections, we provide details about our investment portfolio, excluding investments held in the Closed Block division and the Funds Withheld portfolios. We believe the details of the composition of our investment portfolio excluding Closed Block division and Funds Withheld are most relevant to an understanding of our operations that are pertinent to investors in Prudential Financial, Inc. because (1) substantially all Closed Block division assets support obligations and liabilities relating to the Closed Block policies where the economics inure to those participating policies and not to shareholders of the Company’s Common Stock and (2) the Funds Withheld assets support liabilities relating to reinsurance agreements where the economic benefits and associated investment risk of the Funds Withheld ultimately inure to the reinsurer. See Notes 15 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our material reinsurance agreements and the Closed Block division, respectively.

Fixed Maturity Securities

In the following sections, we provide details about our fixed maturity securities portfolio, which excludes fixed maturity securities classified as assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities and classified as trading.

Fixed Maturity Securities by Contractual Maturity Date

The following table sets forth the breakdown of the amortized cost of our fixed maturity securities portfolio by contractual maturity, as of the date indicated:

Fixed Maturity Securities by Industry

The following table sets forth the composition of the portion of our fixed maturity, available-for-sale portfolio by industry category and the associated gross unrealized gains and losses, as well as the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”), as of the dates indicated:

(1)Investment data has been classified based on standard industry categorizations for domestic public holdings and similar classifications by industry for all other holdings.

(2)As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, based on amortized cost, 89% and 90% represent Japanese government bonds held by our Japanese insurance operations, respectively. No other individual country represented more than 6% and more than 5% of the balance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(3)As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, based on amortized cost, 96% and 93% were rated A or higher, respectively.

The decrease in net unrealized losses from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025 was primarily due to the net impact of decreases in U.S. interest rates, partially offset by increases in Japan interest rates.

Fixed Maturity Securities Credit Quality

The Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) evaluates the investments of insurers for statutory reporting purposes and assigns fixed maturity securities to one of six categories called “NAIC Designations.” In general, NAIC Designations of “1” highest quality, or “2” high quality, include fixed maturities considered investment grade, which include securities rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or BBB- or higher by S&P. NAIC Designations of “3” through “6” generally include fixed maturities referred to as below investment grade, which include securities rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s and BB+ or lower by S&P. The NAIC Designations for commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, including our asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, are based on security level expected losses as modeled by an independent third party (engaged by the NAIC) and the statutory carrying value of the security, including any purchase discounts or impairment charges previously recognized.

As a result of time lags between the funding of investments, the finalization of legal documents, and the completion of the SVO filing process, the fixed maturity portfolio includes certain securities that have not yet been designated by the SVO as of each balance sheet date. Pending receipt of SVO designations, the categorization of these securities by NAIC Designation is based on the expected ratings indicated by internal analysis.

Ratings assigned by nationally recognized rating agencies include S&P, Moody’s, Fitch and Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar”). Low issue composite rating uses ratings from the major credit rating agencies or, if these are not available, an equivalent internal rating. For securities where the ratings assigned are not equivalent, the second lowest rating is utilized.

Investments of our international insurance companies are not subject to NAIC guidelines. Investments of our Japanese insurance operations are regulated locally by the FSA. The FSA has its own investment quality criteria and risk control standards. Our Japanese insurance companies comply with the FSA’s credit quality review and risk monitoring guidelines. The credit quality ratings of the investments of our Japanese insurance companies are based on ratings assigned by nationally recognized credit rating agencies, including Moody’s and S&P, or rating equivalents based on ratings assigned by Japanese credit rating agencies.

The following table sets forth our fixed maturity, available-for-sale portfolio by NAIC Designation or equivalent rating, as of the dates indicated:

(1)Reflects equivalent ratings for investments of the international insurance operations.

(2)As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 1,482 securities with amortized cost of $9,683 million (fair value, $9,598 million) and 803 securities with amortized cost of $4,147 million (fair value, $3,840 million), respectively, have been categorized based on expected NAIC Designations pending receipt of SVO ratings.

(3)As of December 31, 2025, includes gross unrealized losses of $579 million on public fixed maturities and $194 million on private fixed maturities considered to be other than high or highest quality and, as of December 31, 2024, includes gross unrealized losses of $625 million on public fixed maturities and $428 million on private fixed maturities considered to be other than high or highest quality.

(4)On an amortized cost basis, as of December 31, 2025, includes $230,712 million of public fixed maturities and $69,340 million of private fixed maturities and, as of December 31, 2024, includes $219,914 million of public fixed maturities and $62,935 million of private fixed maturities.

(5)On an amortized cost basis, as of December 31, 2025, includes $7,277 million of public fixed maturities and $12,396 million of private fixed maturities and, as of December 31, 2024, includes $6,706 million of public fixed maturities and $10,617 million of private fixed maturities.

(6)On an amortized cost basis, as of December 31, 2025, securities considered below investment grade based on low issue composite ratings total $16,427 million, or 5% of the total fixed maturities, and include securities considered high or highest quality by the NAIC based on the rules described above.

Asset-Backed and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities

The following table sets forth the amortized cost and fair value of asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities within our fixed maturity, available-for-sale portfolio by credit quality, as of the dates indicated:

(1)The table above provides ratings as assigned by nationally recognized rating agencies as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, including S&P, Moody’s, Fitch and Morningstar.

(2)Includes credit-tranched securities collateralized by loan obligations (“CLOs”), home equity loans, auto loans, education loans and other asset types.

(3) Excludes fixed maturity securities classified as “Assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities” and “Fixed maturities, trading.”

Included in “Asset-backed securities” above are investments in CLOs. The following table sets forth information pertaining to these investments in CLOs within our fixed maturity, available-for-sale portfolio, as of the dates indicated:

(1)The table above provides ratings as assigned by nationally recognized rating agencies as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, including S&P, Moody’s, Fitch and Morningstar.

(2)There was no allowance for credit losses as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(3)Excludes fixed maturity securities classified as “Assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities” and “Fixed maturities, trading.”

Assets Supporting Experience-Rated Contractholder Liabilities

For information regarding the composition of “Assets supporting experience-rated contractholder liabilities,” see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investment Mix

The following table sets forth the composition of our commercial mortgage and other loans portfolio, as of the dates indicated:

(1)As a percentage of recorded investment gross of allowance, 99% of these assets were current as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

We originate commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans using a dedicated sales and underwriting staff through our various regional offices in the U.S. and international offices primarily in London and Tokyo. All loans are underwritten consistently to our standards using a proprietary quality rating system that has been developed from our industry experience in real estate and mortgage lending.

Residential mortgage loans primarily include fixed-rate, amortizing mortgage loans on rental properties owned by borrowers with FICO scores typically considered prime or above.

Uncollateralized loans primarily represent corporate loans and unsecured consumer loans.

Other collateralized loans include mezzanine real estate debt investments and consumer loans.

Composition of Commercial Mortgage and Agricultural Property Loans

Our commercial mortgage and agricultural property loan portfolio strategy emphasizes diversification by property type and geographic location. The following tables set forth the breakdown of the gross carrying values of commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans by geographic region and property type, as of the dates indicated:

(1)Regions as defined by the United States Census Bureau.

(1) Prior period amounts have been updated to conform to current period presentation.

Loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios are measures commonly used to assess the quality of commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans. The loan-to-value ratio compares the amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan and is commonly expressed as a percentage. A loan-to-value ratio less than 100% indicates an excess of collateral value over the loan amount. Loan-to-value ratios greater than 100% indicate that the loan amount exceeds the collateral value. The debt service coverage ratio compares a property’s net operating income to its debt service payments. Debt service coverage ratios less than 1.0 times indicate that property operations do not generate enough income to cover the loan’s current debt payments. A debt service coverage ratio greater than 1.0 times indicates an excess of net operating income over the debt service payments.

As of December 31, 2025, our commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans had a weighted-average debt service coverage ratio of 2.31 times and a weighted-average loan-to-value ratio of 57%. For those commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans that were originated in 2025, the weighted-average debt service coverage ratio was 1.65 times, and the weighted-average loan-to-value ratio was 59%.

The values utilized in calculating these loan-to-value ratios are developed as part of our periodic reviews of the commercial mortgage and agricultural property loan portfolio, which include internal evaluations of the underlying collateral values. Our periodic reviews also include a credit quality re-rating process, whereby we update the internal quality ratings originally assigned at underwriting based on the proprietary quality rating system mentioned above. As discussed below, the internal credit quality rating is a key input in determining our allowance for credit losses.

As of December 31, 2025, 95% of commercial mortgage, agricultural property and residential mortgage loans were fixed rate loans.

For loans with collateral under construction, renovation or lease-up, projected stabilized values and net operating income are used in the calculation of the loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios. Our commercial mortgage and agricultural property loan portfolio included $2.7 billion and $1.8 billion of such loans as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. All else being equal, these loans are inherently riskier than those collateralized by properties that have already stabilized. As of both December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were less than $1 million of allowances related to these loans. In addition, these unstabilized loans are included in the calculation of our portfolio reserve, as discussed below.

The following table sets forth the gross carrying value of our commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans by loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios, as of the date indicated:

The following table sets forth the breakdown of our commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans by year of origination, as of the date indicated:

Commercial Mortgage and Other Loans by Contractual Maturity Date

The following table sets forth the breakdown of our commercial mortgage and other loans portfolio by contractual maturity, as of the date indicated:

Residential Mortgage Loans

Residential mortgage loans primarily include fixed-rate, amortizing mortgage loans on rental properties owned by borrowers with FICO scores typically considered prime or above. The primary credit quality indicator is whether a loan is performing or nonperforming. The Company defines nonperforming residential mortgage loans as those that are 90 days or more past due and/or in nonaccrual status.

All of the loans are currently performing.

Commercial Mortgage and Other Loans Quality

The commercial mortgage and other loans portfolio is monitored on an ongoing basis. If certain criteria are met, loans are assigned to either of the following “watch list” categories:

(1) “Closely Monitored,” which includes a variety of considerations, such as when loan metrics fall below acceptable levels, the borrower is not cooperative or has requested a material modification, or the portfolio manager has directed a change in category; or

(2) “Not in Good Standing,” which includes loans in default or with a high probability of loss of principal, such as when the loan is in the process of foreclosure or the borrower is in bankruptcy.

Our workout and special servicing professionals manage the loans on the watch list.

The current expected credit loss (“CECL”) allowance represents the Company’s best estimate of expected credit losses over the remaining life of the assets. The determination of the allowance considers historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance is calculated separately for commercial mortgage loans, agricultural property loans, residential mortgage loans, uncollateralized loans and other collateralized loans.

For commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans, the allowance is calculated using an internally developed CECL model.

Key inputs to the CECL model include unpaid principal balances, internal credit ratings, annual expected loss factors, average lives of the loans adjusted for prepayment considerations, current and historical interest rate assumptions and other factors influencing the Company’s view of the current stage of the economic cycle and future economic conditions. Subjective considerations include a review of whether historical loss experience is representative of current market conditions and the Company’s view of the credit cycle. Model assumptions and factors are reviewed and updated as appropriate.

When individual loans no longer have the credit risk characteristics of the commercial mortgage or agricultural property loan pools, they are removed from the pools and are evaluated individually for an allowance. The allowance is determined based on the outstanding loan balance less the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

For residential mortgage loans, the CECL calculation pools together loans that share similar risk characteristics. The estimated lifetime loss of the pool is calculated from the risk profiles of the loans, including borrower credit score, loan-to-value ratio, property type, and several key attributes of the loan and property including: loan type, loan age, loan performance history, and current performing or nonperforming status. Estimated lifetime loss rates are calculated by weighting projected losses in multiple economic scenarios based on the Company’s view of the current stage of the economic cycle and future economic conditions. The scenario losses are calibrated to industry historical experience of defaults, loss severities, and prepayment rates in multiple economic cycles, reflective of similar loan characteristics. When individual loans become nonperforming, the allowance is determined based on annual expected loss rates for nonperforming loans or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The Company defines nonperforming residential mortgage loans as those that are 90 days or more past due and/or in nonaccrual status.

The CECL allowance for other collateralized and uncollateralized loans carried at amortized cost is determined based on probability of default and loss given default assumptions by sector, credit quality and average lives of the loans.

The following table sets forth the balance of and change in allowance for credit losses for our commercial mortgage and other loans portfolio, as of the dates indicated:

The allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2025 decreased in comparison to December 31, 2024, primarily related to write-downs against loan-specific reserves within agricultural property loans and commercial mortgage loans in the retail sector, partially offset by an increase in loan-specific reserves within the retail sector.
