The following tables set forth the fair value and gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities, available-for-sale without an allowance for credit losses aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual fixed maturity securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position, as of the dates indicated:

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the gross unrealized losses on fixed maturities, available-for-sale securities without an allowance of $34,854 million and $32,392 million, respectively, related to “1” highest quality or “2” high quality securities based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) or equivalent rating and $1,083 million and $809 million, respectively, related to other than high or highest quality securities based on NAIC or equivalent rating. As of

June 30, 2026, the $34,334 million of gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more were concentrated in the consumer non-cyclical, finance and utility sectors within corporate securities, as well as in foreign government securities. As of December 31, 2025, the $32,225 million of gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more were concentrated in the consumer non-cyclical, finance and utility sectors within corporate securities, as well as in foreign government securities.

In accordance with its policy described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company concluded that an adjustment to earnings for credit losses related to these fixed maturity securities was not warranted at June 30, 2026. This conclusion was based on detailed analysis of the underlying credit and cash flows for each security. Gross unrealized losses are primarily attributable to increases in interest rates, general credit spread widening and foreign currency exchange rate movements. As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not intend to sell these securities, and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis.

(1)Excludes notes with amortized cost of $16,372 million (fair value, $16,372 million), which have been offset with the associated debt under a netting agreement.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the net decrease in the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities was primarily related to write-downs charged against the allowance of distressed securities within the transportation, technology and energy sectors, partially offset by net additions in the industrial other and utility sectors within corporate securities, due to adverse projected cash flows. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the net decrease in the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities was primarily related to write-downs charged against the allowance due to settlements and security restructures in the consumer cyclical and consumer non-cyclical sectors within corporate securities, partially offset by net additions within the technology sector within corporate securities due to adverse projected cash flows.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the net increase in the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities was primarily related to net additions in the consumer cyclical, energy and industrial other sectors within corporate securities, due to adverse projected cash flows, partially offset by write-downs charged against the allowance of distressed securities within the transportation and technology sectors. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the net decrease in the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities was primarily related to write-downs charged against the allowance due to security restructures and settlements in the communications, capital goods and consumer non-cyclical sectors within corporate securities, partially offset by net additions in the technology sector within corporate securities due to adverse projected cash flows.
