Our organic channels, including retail, flow reinsurance, institutional and other products, provided gross inflows of $46.8 billion and $36.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which were underwritten to attractive returns. Gross organic inflows increased $10.0 billion, or 27% from the prior year, reflecting the strength of our multi-channel distribution platform and our ability to quickly pivot into optimal and profitable channels as opportunities arise. Withdrawals on our deferred annuities, death benefits, pension group annuity benefit payments, payments on payout annuities, payments related to interest, maturities and repurchases of funding agreements and block reinsurance outflows (collectively, gross outflows), in the aggregate were $15.6 billion and $18.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in gross outflows of $2.6 billion was primarily driven by a decrease in funding agreement maturities in 2025 and a decrease in outflows related to policies underlying certain reinsurance blocks compared to 2024, partially offset by an increase in retail annuity policies which have reached the end of the surrender charge period in a higher rate environment. We believe that our credit profile, current product offerings and product design capabilities, as well as our reputation as both a seasoned funding agreement issuer and a reliable pension group annuity counterparty, will continue to enable us to grow our existing organic channels and source additional volumes of profitably underwritten liabilities in various market environments. We intend to continue to grow organically by expanding each of our retail, flow reinsurance, institutional and other distribution channels. We believe that we have the right people, infrastructure, scale and capital discipline to position us for continued growth.

Within our retail channel, we had fixed annuity sales of $16.7 billion and $18.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in our retail channel was primarily driven by a decrease in the sales of our multi-year guaranteed annuity (MYGA) products. Overall sales were strong across our bank, broker-dealer and independent marketing organization (IMO) channels, exhibiting strong sales execution, the current rate environment, growing product offerings and our continued expansion into large financial institutions. We have maintained our disciplined approach to pricing and our targeted underwritten returns. We aim to continue to grow our retail channel by deepening our relationships with our approximately 41 IMOs and with our network of 17 banks and 158 broker-dealers, collectively representing approximately 146,000 independent agents. Our strong financial position and diverse, capital-efficient products allow us to be dependable partners with IMOs, banks and broker-dealers, as well as to consistently write new business. We expect our retail channel to continue to benefit from our credit profile, product launches and continuous product enhancements as we look to capture new potential distribution opportunities. We believe this can support sales growth at our targeted returns from increased volumes via existing IMO relationships and allow continued expansion of our bank and broker-dealer channels.

If prevailing interest rates were to rise, we believe our products would be more attractive to consumers and our sales would likely increase. If prevailing interest rates were to decline, it is likely that our products would be less attractive to consumers and our sales would likely decrease. In periods of prolonged low interest rates, the net investment spread may be negatively impacted by reduced investment income to the extent that we are unable to adequately reduce policyholder crediting rates due to policyholder guarantees in the form of minimum crediting rates or otherwise due to market conditions. Our policyholder account balances include deferred annuities, indexed annuities, funding agreements and other investment-type contracts, the latter of which is comprised of immediate annuities without significant mortality risk (including pension group annuities without life contingencies) and assumed endowments without significant mortality risks. A significant majority of our deferred annuity products have crediting rates that we may reset annually upon renewal, following the expiration of the current guaranteed period. While we have the contractual ability to lower these crediting rates to the guaranteed minimum levels at renewal, our willingness to do so may be limited by competitive pressures. See Note 7 – Long-duration Contracts to the condensed consolidated financial statements for our deferred and indexed annuity policyholder account balances by range of guaranteed minimum crediting rates and the related distance to those respective guaranteed minimums. Our funding agreements and other investment-type products provide us little to no discretionary ability to change the rates of interest that determine the amounts payable to the respective policyholder or institution.

Previous wording

Sales statistics do not correspond to revenues under US GAAP but are used as relevant measures to understand our business performance as it relates to inflows generated during a specific period of time. Our sales statistics include inflows for fixed rate annuities and FIAs and align with the LIMRA definition of all money paid into an individual annuity, including money paid into new contracts with initial purchase occurring in the specified period and existing contracts with initial purchase occurring prior to the specified period (excluding internal transfers). We believe sales is a meaningful metric that enhances our understanding of our business performance and is not the same as premiums presented in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
