NOTE
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED DURING 2025
Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASU”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued an ASU to address improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a company’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard was adopted for the year ended December 31, 2025.
FUTURE APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued an ASU to improve the disclosures about a company’s business expenses. The standard requires disclosure about specific types of expenses, such as depreciation, intangible asset amortization and employee compensation, included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The standard is allowed to be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We are assessing the impact of this standard.
- Segment Information
We report our results of operations consistent with the manner in which our Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews the business to assess performance and allocate resources.
We report our results of operations asfive reportable segments:
Individual Retirement– consists of fixed annuities, fixed index annuities and registered index-linked annuities.
Group Retirement – consists of recordkeeping, plan administrative and compliance services, financial planning and advisory solutions offered in-plan, along with proprietary and limited non-proprietary annuities, advisory and brokerage products offered out-of-plan.
Life Insurance – consists of term and universal life insurance products in the United States. The International Life business issued individual and group life insurance in the United Kingdom. On October 31, 2023 Corebridge completed the sale of Laya and on April 8, 2024, Corebridge completed the sale of AIG Life U.K.
Institutional Markets – consists of stable value wrap (“SVW”) products, structured settlement and pension risk transfer (“PRT”) annuities, guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) and Corporate Markets products that include corporate- and bank-owned life insurance (“COLI-BOLI”), private placement variable universal life and private placement variable annuity products.
Corporate and Other – consists primarily of:
–corporate expenses not attributable to our other segments;
–interest expense on financial debt;
–results of our consolidated investment entities;
–institutional asset management business, which includes managing assets for non-consolidated affiliates;
–results of our legacy insurance lines ceded to Fortitude Re; and
–results of our individual variable annuity business that is reinsured to CSLR.
The closing with respect to the AGL Reinsurance Agreement occurred on August 1, 2025. Accordingly, retrospectively, effective in the third quarter of 2025, our individual variable annuity business previously reported in the Individual Retirement segment, is now included within Corporate and Other, consistent with how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assesses its performance and allocates its resources. Prior periods presented herein have been recast to conform to the new segment presentation. Additionally, the results of operations from the variable annuity business have been excluded from Adjusted Pre-Tax Operating Income (“APTOI”) as they are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 155
The CODM assesses segment performance and allocates capital and resources to the segments based on an evaluation of each segments’ adjusted revenues and adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss) (“APTOI”). Adjusted revenues are derived by excluding certain items from total revenues. APTOI is derived by excluding certain items from income from operations before income tax. These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and adjustments that we believe to be common to the industry. Legal entities are attributed to each segment based upon the predominance of activity in that legal entity.
APTOI excludes the impact of the following items:
Fortitude Re related adjustments:
The modified coinsurance (“modco”) reinsurance agreements with Fortitude Re transfer the economics of the invested assets supporting the reinsurance agreements to Fortitude Re. Accordingly, the net investment income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and the net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets are excluded from APTOI. Similarly, changes in the Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative are also excluded from APTOI.
The ongoing results associated with the reinsurance agreement with Fortitude Re have been excluded from APTOI as these are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.
Investment-related adjustments:
APTOI excludes “Net realized gains (losses)”, except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments. Net realized gains (losses), except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments, are excluded as the timing of sales on invested assets or changes in allowances depend largely on market credit cycles and can vary considerably across periods. In addition, changes in interest rates may create opportunistic scenarios to buy or sell invested assets. Our derivative results, including those used to economically hedge insurance liabilities, or those recognized as embedded derivatives at fair value, are also included in Net realized gains (losses) and are similarly excluded from APTOI except earned income (periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedges or for asset replication. Earned income on such economic hedges is reclassified from Net realized gains and losses to specific APTOI line items based on the economic risk being hedged (e.g., Net investment income and Interest credited to policyholder account balances).
Market Risk Benefits adjustments:
Certain of our variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts contain guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWBs”) and/or guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDBs”) which are accounted for as MRBs. Changes in the fair value of these MRBs (excluding changes related to our own credit risk), including certain rider fees attributed to the MRBs are excluded from APTOI. MRBs related to the variable annuity business subject to the reinsurance agreements with CSLR are reported in the “Businesses exited through reinsurance” line item.
Businesses exited through reinsurance:
Represents the results of businesses that have been or will be economically exited through reinsurance. This includes MRBs, along with changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge MRBs which are recorded through “Change in the fair value of MRBs, net.” The results of operations from these businesses have been excluded from APTOI as they are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.
Other adjustments:
Other adjustments represent all other adjustments that are excluded from APTOI and includes the net pre-tax operating income (losses) from noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment entities. The excluded adjustments include, as applicable:
restructuring and other costs related to initiatives designed to reduce operating expenses, improve efficiency and simplify our organization;
non-recurring costs associated with the implementation of non-ordinary course legal or regulatory changes or changes to accounting principles;
separation costs;
non-operating litigation reserves and settlements;
loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, if any;
losses from the impairment of goodwill, if any; and
income and loss from divested or run-off business, if any.

- Fair Value Measurements
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ON A RECURRING BASIS
We carry certain of our financial instruments at fair value. We define the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We are responsible for the determination of the value of the investments carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions.
The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally inversely correlates with the level of observable valuation inputs. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments for which no quoted prices are available have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, liquidity and general market conditions.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 158
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three “levels” based on the observability of valuation inputs:
Level 1: Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. We do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.
Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, we must make certain assumptions about the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments carried at fair value. These methodologies are applied to assets and liabilities across the levels discussed above, and it is the observability of the inputs used that determines the appropriate level in the fair value hierarchy for the respective asset or liability.
VALUATION METHODOLOGIES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
Incorporation of credit risk in fair value measurements
Our own credit risk: Fair value measurements for certain liabilities incorporate our own credit risk by determining the explicit cost for each counterparty to protect against its net credit exposure to us at the balance sheet date by reference to observable Corebridge credit default swaps (“CDS”) or cash bond spreads. We calculate the effect of credit spread changes using discounted cash flow techniques that incorporate current market interest rates. A derivative counterparty’s net credit exposure to us is determined based on master netting agreements, when applicable, which take into consideration all derivative positions with us, as well as collateral we post with the counterparty at the balance sheet date. We also incorporate our own risk of non-performance in the valuation of market risk benefits associated with variable annuity, fixed annuity, fixed index annuity and registered index-linked annuity contracts and embedded derivatives associated with fixed index annuity, registered index-linked annuity contracts and index universal life. The non-performance risk adjustment (“NPA”) reflects a market participant’s view of our claims-paying ability by incorporating an additional spread to the swap curve used to discount projected cash flows in the valuation of market risk benefits and embedded derivatives. The non-performance risk adjustment is calculated by constructing forward rates based on a weighted average of observable corporate credit indices to approximate the claims-paying ability rating of our insurance operations companies.
Counterparty credit risk: Fair value measurements for freestanding derivatives incorporate counterparty credit by determining the explicit cost for us to protect against our net credit exposure to each counterparty at the balance sheet date by reference to observable counterparty CDS spreads, when available. When not available, other directly or indirectly observable credit spreads will be used to derive the best estimates of the counterparty spreads. Our net credit exposure to a counterparty is determined based on master netting agreements, which take into consideration all derivative positions with the counterparty, as well as collateral posted by the counterparty at the balance sheet date. We also incorporate counterparty credit risk of non-performance in the valuation of ceded market risk benefits resulting from reinsurance of certain of our individual variable annuities.
Fair values for fixed maturity securities based on observable market prices for identical or similar instruments implicitly incorporate counterparty credit risk. Fair values for fixed maturity securities based on internal models incorporate counterparty credit risk by using discount rates that take into consideration cash issuance spreads for similar instruments or other observable information.
For fair values measured based on internal models, the cost of credit protection is determined under a discounted present value approach considering the market levels for single name CDS spreads for each specific counterparty, the mid-market value of the net exposure (reflecting the amount of protection required) and the weighted average life of the net exposure. CDS spreads are provided to us by an independent third party. We utilize an interest rate based on the appropriate benchmark curve to derive our discount rates.
While this approach does not explicitly consider all potential future behavior of the derivative transactions or potential future changes in valuation inputs, we believe this approach provides a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the assets and liabilities, including consideration of the impact of non-performance risk.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 159
Fixed maturity securities
Whenever available, we obtain quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure fixed maturity securities at fair value. Market price data is generally obtained from dealer markets.
We employ independent third-party valuation service providers to gather, analyze, and interpret market information to derive fair value estimates for individual investments, based upon market-accepted methodologies and assumptions. The methodologies used by these independent third-party valuation service providers are reviewed and understood by management, through periodic discussion with and information provided by the independent third-party valuation service providers. In addition, as discussed further below, control processes are applied to the fair values received from independent third-party valuation service providers to ensure the accuracy of these values.
Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of market-accepted valuation methodologies, which may utilize matrix pricing, financial models, accompanying model inputs and various assumptions, provide a single fair value measurement for individual securities. The inputs used by the valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from completed transactions for identical securities and transactions for comparable securities, benchmark yields, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, prepayment rates, default rates, recovery assumptions, currency rates, quoted prices for similar securities and other market-observable information, as applicable. If fair value is determined using financial models, these models generally take into account, among other things, market observable information as of the measurement date as well as the specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector, and when applicable, collateral quality and other security or issuer-specific information. When market transactions or other market observable data is limited, the extent to which judgment is applied in determining fair value is greatly increased.
We have control processes designed to ensure that the fair values received from independent third-party valuation service providers are accurately recorded, that their data inputs and valuation techniques are appropriate and consistently applied and that the assumptions used appear reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value. We assess the reasonableness of individual security values received from independent third-party valuation service providers through various analytical techniques and have procedures to escalate related questions internally and to the independent third-party valuation service providers for resolution. To assess the degree of pricing consensus among various valuation service providers for specific asset types, we conduct comparisons of prices received from available sources. We use these comparisons to establish a hierarchy for the fair values received from independent third-party valuation service providers to be used for particular security classes. We also validate prices for selected securities through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise and who are independent of those charged with executing investing transactions.
When our independent third-party valuation service providers are unable to obtain sufficient market observable information upon which to estimate the fair value for a particular security, fair value is determined either by requesting brokers who are knowledgeable about these securities to provide a price quote, which is generally non-binding, or by employing market accepted valuation models internally or via our third party asset managers. Broker prices may be based on an income approach, which converts expected future cash flows to a single present value amount, with specific consideration of inputs relevant to particular security types. For structured securities, such inputs may include ratings, collateral types, geographic concentrations, underlying loan vintages, loan delinquencies and defaults, loss severity assumptions, prepayments, and weighted average coupons and maturities. When the volume or level of market activity for a security is limited, certain inputs used to determine fair value may not be observable in the market. Broker prices may also be based on a market approach that considers recent transactions involving identical or similar securities. Fair values provided by brokers are subject to similar control processes to those noted above for fair values from independent third-party valuation service providers, including management reviews. For those corporate debt instruments (for example, private placements) that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations reflect illiquidity and non-transferability, based on available market evidence. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined based on discounted cash flow models using discount rates based on credit spreads, yields or price levels of comparable securities, adjusted for illiquidity and structure. Fair values determined internally or via our third party asset managers are also subject to management review to ensure that valuation models and related inputs are reasonable.
The methodology above is relevant for all fixed maturity securities including residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”), commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), other asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and fixed maturity securities issued by government sponsored entities and corporate entities.
Equity securities traded in active markets
Whenever available, we obtain quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure equity securities. at fair value. Market price data is generally obtained from exchange or dealer markets.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 160
Mortgage and other loans receivable
We estimate the fair value of mortgage and other loans receivable that are measured at fair value by using dealer quotations, discounted cash flow analyses and/or internal valuation models. The determination of fair value considers inputs such as interest rate, maturity, the borrower’s creditworthiness, collateral, subordination, guarantees, past-due status, yield curves, credit curves, prepayment rates, market pricing for comparable loans and other relevant factors.
Other invested assets
We initially estimate the fair value of investments in certain hedge funds, private equity funds and other investment partnerships by reference to the transaction price. Subsequently, we generally obtain the fair value of these investments from net asset value information provided by the general partner or manager of the investments, the financial statements of which are generally audited annually. We consider observable market data and perform certain control procedures to validate the appropriateness of using the net asset value as a fair value measurement. The fair values of other investments carried at fair value, such as direct private equity holdings, are initially determined based on transaction price and are subsequently estimated based on available evidence such as market transactions in similar instruments, other financing transactions of the issuer and other available financial information for the issuer, with adjustments made to reflect illiquidity as appropriate.
Private equity fund investments are not redeemable because distributions from the funds will be received when underlying investments of the funds are liquidated. Private equity funds are generally expected to have 10-year lives at their inception, but these lives may be extended at the fund manager’s discretion, typically inone-year ortwo-year increments. Total unfunded commitments on these private equity fund investments totaled $3.4 billion and $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
All liquid hedge fund investments have been redeemed. The remaining investments, excluding those in the modco agreement with Fortitude Re, are in illiquid and/or side pocket vehicles whose liquidation horizons are uncertain and likely to extend over the coming quarters and/or years.
Short-term investments
For short-term investments that are measured at amortized cost, the carrying amounts of these assets approximate fair values because of the relatively short period of time between origination and expected realization, and their limited exposure to credit risk. Securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements) are generally treated as collateralized receivables. We report certain receivables arising from securities purchased under agreements to resell as Short-term investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When these receivables are measured at fair value, we use market-observable interest rates to determine fair value.
Separate account assets
Separate account assets are composed primarily of registered and unregistered open-end mutual funds that generally trade daily and are measured at fair value in the manner discussed above for equity securities traded in active markets.
Freestanding derivatives
Derivative assets and liabilities can be exchange-traded or traded over-the-counter (“OTC”). We generally value exchange-traded derivatives such as futures and options using quoted prices in active markets for identical derivatives at the balance sheet date. We use these OTC derivatives as part of fair value hedges.
OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. When models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends on the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. We generally use similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, model inputs can generally be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means, and model selection does not involve significant management judgment.
For certain OTC derivatives that trade in less liquid markets, where we generally do not have corroborating market evidence to support significant model inputs and cannot verify the model to market transactions, the transaction price may provide the best estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted so the model value at inception equals the transaction price. We will update valuation inputs in these models only when corroborated by evidence such as similar market transactions, independent third-party valuation service providers and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other empirical market data. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit considerations. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.

Market risk benefits and Embedded derivatives within Policyholder contract deposits
MRBs are contracts or contract features that provide protection to the policyholder and expose the insurance entity to other-than-nominal capital market risk. Certain of our variable annuity, fixed annuity, fixed index annuity and registered index-linked annuity contracts contain guaranteed benefit features which are accounted for as MRBs and are recorded at fair value, with certain changes recorded to net income. Our fixed index annuity, registered index-linked annuity and index universal life contracts include additional features which can provide growth potential based in part on the performance of market indices. These growth features are accounted for as embedded derivatives as their host contracts do not meet the definition of a standalone derivative. Embedded derivatives get bifurcated from their host contract and are recorded at fair value within policyholder contract deposits, with changes in the fair value recorded to net income.
The valuation of the contract features that are MRBs and embedded derivatives (collectively “the valuations”), are measured as the present value of the projected cash flows over the expected lives of the contracts using a risk-neutral valuation framework, calibrated to observable interest rate and equity option prices, and incorporates policyholder behavior and capital market assumptions. Assumptions used to develop the projected cash flows are set for the contract and are then applied consistently to each applicable feature within that contract to develop the valuations. Since there is no observable active market for the transfer of these contract features, the valuations are calculated using internally developed models. An option-based approach is used for all contracts with the exception of variable annuity contracts which use a non-option-based approach where a portion of actual fees (i.e., attributed fees) is determined such that the present value of expected benefits less attributed fees is zero at issue and this calculated ratio gets locked in and is utilized in each policy valuation going forward.
In some instances, the projected cash flows from fees related to the MRBs, when applicable, may exceed projected cash flows related to the expected benefit payments and therefore, at a point in time, the carrying value of the MRBs may be in a net asset position. The portion of the contract fees, if any, not attributed to the MRBs is excluded from the fair value measurement and classified as policy fees and recorded to net income.
The projected cash flows incorporate various assumptions. Policyholder behavior assumptions including lapses, withdrawals, benefit utilization, and mortality use best estimate assumptions based primarily on our historical experience, along with a risk margin that a market participant would require to accept the risk and uncertainty of the projected cash flows. Capital market assumptions include items such as market volatility, interest rates, and our market-perceived non-performance risk under the contract. Additionally, projected cash flows for the embedded derivatives can be refined further for our ability to adjust the participation rates and caps on index-linked interest credited features.
Projected cash flows are discounted using the interest rate swap curve (“swap curve”), which is viewed as being consistent with the credit spreads for highly-rated financial institutions (S&P AA-rated or above). A swap curve shows the fixed-rate leg of a non-complex swap against the floating rate (for example, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) leg of a related tenor. We also incorporate our own risk of market-perceived non-performance in the valuations, which reflects a market participant’s view of our claims-paying ability by incorporating an additional spread to the swap curve used to discount projected cash flows. The NPA is calculated by constructing forward rates based on a weighted average of observable corporate credit indices to approximate the claims-paying ability rating of our companies. The corporate credit indices are observable for the first 30 years. For years 30 to 50, the yield is derived using market observable yields. Yields for years 50 to 100 are extrapolated using a flat forward approach, maintaining a constant forward spread through the period. MRBs are measured using a NPA that is a locked-in estimate of our claims-paying ability at policy issue (“locked-in NPA”) as well as a NPA that reflects an estimate of our current claims-paying ability (“current NPA”).
When MRBs are remeasured each period, both the interest rates and current NPA are updated. Changes in the swap curve and the time value accretion of the at-issue NPA are recorded to net income while the difference between the MRBs measured using the at-issue NPA and the current NPA is recorded to OCI, except for ceded MRBs where the change in counterparty credit risk is recorded to net income. For embedded derivatives, changes in the interest rates and the period-over-period change in the NPA are recorded to net income.
Policyholder contract deposits at fair value option
We have elected fair value option on certain GICs recorded using discounted cash flow calculations based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts and our current market observable implicit credit spread rates with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued. Obligations may be called at various times prior to maturity at the option of the counterparty. Interest rates on these borrowings are primarily fixed, vary by maturity and range up to 5.04%.
Fortitude Re funds withheld payable
The reinsurance transactions with Fortitude Re were structured as modco arrangements. Corebridge has established a funds withheld payable to Fortitude Re while simultaneously establishing a reinsurance asset representing liabilities for the insurance coverage that Fortitude Re has assumed. The funds withheld payable contains an embedded derivative. Changes in fair value of the embedded derivative related to the funds withheld payable are recognized in earnings through realized gains (losses). This embedded derivative is considered a total return swap with contractual returns that are attributable to various assets and liabilities associated with these reinsurance agreements. The fair value of the underlying assets is generally based on market observable inputs using industry standard valuation techniques. The valuation also requires certain significant inputs, which are generally not observable and accordingly, the valuation is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at December 31, 2025 and 2024 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities).
Transfers of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
We record transfers of assets and liabilities into or out of Level 3 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. The Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in net income (loss) or OCI as shown in the table above excludes $0 million and $(17) million of net gains (losses) related to assets transferred into Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and includes $(24) million and $31 million of net gains (losses) related to assets transferred out of Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Transfers of Level 3 Assets
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, transfers into Level 3 assets primarily included certain investments in private placement corporate debt, CMBS, CLO and ABS. Transfers of private placement corporate debt and certain ABS into Level 3 assets were primarily the result of limited market pricing information that required us to determine fair value for these securities based on inputs that are adjusted to better reflect our own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or associated market liquidity. The transfers of investments in CMBS, CLO and certain ABS into Level 3 assets were due to diminished market transparency and liquidity for individual security types.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, transfers out of Level 3 assets primarily included private placement and other corporate debt, CMBS, RMBS, CLO, ABS and certain investments in municipal securities. Transfers of certain investments in municipal securities, corporate debt, RMBS, CMBS and CLO and ABS out of Level 3 assets were based on consideration of market liquidity as well as related transparency of pricing and associated observable inputs for these investments. Transfers of certain investments in private placement corporate debt and certain ABS out of Level 3 assets were primarily the result of using observable pricing information that reflects the fair value of those securities without the need for adjustment based on our own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or the current liquidity in the market.
Transfers of Level 3 Liabilities
There were no significant transfers of derivative or other liabilities into or out of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT LEVEL 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The table below presents information about the significant unobservable inputs used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments, and includes only those instruments for which information about the inputs is reasonably available to us, such as data from independent third-party valuation service providers and from internal valuation models. Because input information from third parties with respect to certain Level 3 instruments (primarily CLO/ABS) may not be reasonably available to us, balances shown below may not equal total amounts reported for such Level 3 assets and liabilities:

(a)Represents discount rates, estimates and assumptions that we believe would be used by market participants when valuing these assets and liabilities.
(b)The weighted averaging for fixed maturity securities is based on the estimated fair value of the securities. Because the valuation methodology for embedded derivatives within policyholder contract deposits and MRBs uses a range of inputs that vary at the contract level over the cash flow projection period, management believes that presenting a range, rather than weighted average, is a more meaningful representation of the unobservable inputs used in the valuation.
(c)Information received from third-party valuation service providers. The ranges of the unobservable inputs for constant prepayment rate, loss severity and constant default rate relate to each of the individual underlying mortgage loans that comprise the entire portfolio of securities in the RMBS and CLO securitization vehicles and not necessarily to the securitization vehicle bonds (tranches) purchased by us. The ranges of these inputs do not directly correlate to changes in the fair values of the tranches purchased by us because there are other factors relevant to the fair values of specific tranches owned by us, including, but not limited to, purchase price, position in the waterfall, senior versus subordinated position and attachment points.
(d)The Fortitude Re funds withheld payable has been excluded from the above table. As discussed in Note 7, the Fortitude Re funds withheld payable is created through modco and funds withheld reinsurance arrangements where the investments supporting the reinsurance agreements are withheld by and continue to reside on Corebridge’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. This embedded derivative is valued as a total return swap with reference to the fair value of the invested assets held by Corebridge. Accordingly, the unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation of the embedded derivative are a component of the invested assets supporting the reinsurance agreements that are held on Corebridge’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(e)The ranges for these inputs vary due to the different GMWB product specification and policyholder characteristics across in-force policies. Policyholder characteristics that affect these ranges include age, policy duration, and gender.
(f)Mortality inputs are shown as multipliers of the 2012 Individual Annuity Mortality Basic table.
(g)The partial withdrawal utilization unobservable input range shown applies only to policies with GMWB riders.
(h)The NPA applied as a spread over risk-free curve for discounting. The NPA for ceded market risk benefits includes the NPA of CSLR at December 31, 2025.
(i)The fixed index annuities embedded derivative associated with index credits related to the contracts with guaranteed product features included in policyholder contract deposits was $2.0 billion and $1.8 billion at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The ranges of reported inputs for obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions, corporate debt, RMBS, CLO/ABS and CMBS valued using a discounted cash flow technique consist of one standard deviation in either direction from the value-weighted average. The preceding table does not give effect to our risk management practices that might offset risks inherent in these Level 3 assets and liabilities.
Interrelationships Between Unobservable Inputs
We consider unobservable inputs to be those for which market data is not available and that are developed using the best information available to us about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Relevant inputs vary depending on the nature of the instrument being measured at fair value. The following paragraphs provide a general description of significant unobservable inputs along with interrelationships between and among the significant unobservable inputs and their impact on the fair value measurements. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not always have a linear effect on the inputs discussed below. Interrelationships may also exist between observable and unobservable inputs. Such relationships have not been included in the discussion below. For each of the individual relationships described below, the inverse relationship would also generally apply.
Fixed Maturity Securities
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of fixed maturity securities is yield. The yield is affected by the market movements in credit spreads and U.S. Treasury yields. The yield may be affected by other factors, including constant prepayment rates, loss severity and constant default rates. In general, increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of investments, and conversely, decreases in the yield would increase the fair value of investments.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 172
MRBs and Embedded Derivatives within Policyholder Contract Deposits
For MRBs (including ceded MRBs) and embedded derivatives, the assumptions for unobservable inputs vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for valuation purposes. The following are applicable unobservable inputs:
Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period for which observable equity volatilities are available. Increases in assumed volatility will generally increase the fair value of both the projected cash flows from rider fees as well as the projected cash flows related to benefit payments. Therefore, the net change in the fair value of the liability may be either a decrease or an increase, depending on the relative changes in projected rider fees and projected benefit payments.
Equity and interest rate correlation estimates the relationship between changes in equity returns and interest rates in the economic scenario generator used to value our MRBs. In general, a higher positive correlation assumes that equity markets and interest rates move in a more correlated fashion, which generally increases the fair value of the liability. Only our fixed index annuities with a GMWB rider are subject to the equity and interest correlation assumption. Other policies such as accumulation fixed index annuity and index universal life products do not use a correlation assumption.
Base lapse rate assumptions are determined by company experience and judgment and are adjusted at the contract level using a dynamic lapse function, which reduces the base lapse rate when the contract is in-the-money (when the contract holder’s guaranteed value, as estimated by the company, is worth more than their underlying account value). Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. Increases in assumed lapse rates will generally decrease the fair value of the liability as fewer policyholders would persist to collect guaranteed benefit amounts.
Mortality rate assumptions, which vary by age and gender, are based on company experience and include a mortality improvement assumption. Increases in assumed mortality rates will decrease the fair value of the GMWB liability, while lower mortality rate assumptions will generally increase the fair value of the liability because guaranteed withdrawal payments will be made for a longer period of time and generally exceed any decrease in guaranteed death benefits.
Utilization assumptions estimate the timing when policyholders with a GMWB will elect to utilize their benefit and begin taking withdrawals. The assumptions may vary by the type of guarantee, tax-qualified status, the contract’s withdrawal history and the age of the policyholder. Utilization assumptions are based on company experience, which includes partial withdrawal behavior. Increases in assumed utilization rates will generally increase the fair value of the liability.
Non-performance or “own credit” risk adjustment used in the valuation of MRBs and embedded derivatives, which reflects a market participant’s view of our claims-paying ability by incorporating a different spread (the “NPA spread”) to the curve used to discount projected cash flows. When corporate credit spreads widen, the change in the NPA spread generally reduces the fair value of the MRBs and embedded derivatives, resulting in a gain in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) or Net realized gains (losses), respectively, and when corporate credit spreads narrow or tighten, the change in the NPA spread generally increases the fair value of the MRBs and embedded derivatives, resulting in a loss in AOCI or Net realized gains (losses), respectively. Additionally, the nonperformance risk assumption includes the counterparty credit risk used in the fair value measurement of ceded market risk benefits associated with reinsurance arrangements for certain individual variable annuities, which is determined using the current market credit spreads based on the counterparty credit rating.
Policyholder behavior assumptions including lapses, withdrawals, benefit utilization and mortality incorporate a risk margin that a market participant would require to accept the risk and uncertainty of the projected cash flows.
For embedded derivatives, option budgets estimate the expected long-term cost of options used to hedge exposures associated with index price changes. The level of option budgets determines future costs of the options, which impacts the growth in account value and the valuation of embedded derivatives.
Embedded Derivatives within Reinsurance Contracts
The fair value of embedded derivatives associated with funds withheld reinsurance contracts is determined based upon a total return swap technique with reference to the fair value of the investments held by Corebridge related to Corebridge’s funds withheld payable. The fair value of the underlying assets is generally based on market observable inputs using industry standard valuation techniques. The valuation also requires certain significant inputs, which are generally not observable, and accordingly, the valuation is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

FAIR VALUE OPTION
Under the fair value option, we may elect to measure at fair value financial assets and financial liabilities that are not otherwise required to be carried at fair value. This includes fixed income securities subject to modco agreements with Fortitude Re for which we have elected the fair value option. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items are reported in earnings. We elect the fair value option for certain hybrid securities given the complexity of bifurcating the economic components associated with the embedded derivatives.
For additional information about how we test various asset classes for impairment see Note 5 and 6.
Additionally, we elect the fair value option for certain alternative investments when such investments are eligible for this election. We believe this measurement basis is consistent with the applicable accounting guidance used by the respective investment company funds themselves.
For additional information on securities and other invested assets for which we have elected the fair value option see Note 5.
The following table presents the gains or losses recorded related to the eligible instruments for which we elected the fair value option:

(b)Includes certain hedge funds, private equity funds and other investment partnerships.
(c)Represents GICs.
Interest income and dividend income on assets measured under the fair value option are recognized and included in Net investment income in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
For additional information about our policies for recognition, measurement, and disclosure of interest and dividend income see Note 5.
We are required to record unrealized gains and losses attributable to the observable effect of changes in credit spreads on our liabilities for which the fair value option was elected in Other comprehensive income (loss). We calculate the effect of these credit spread changes using discounted cash flow techniques that incorporate current market interest rates, our observable credit spreads on these liabilities and other factors that mitigate the risk of non-performance such as cash collateral posted.
We calculate the effect of these credit spread changes using discounted cash flow techniques that incorporate current market interest rates, our observable credit spreads on these liabilities and other factors that mitigate the risk of non-performance such as cash collateral posted.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ON A NON-RECURRING BASIS
We measure the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis, generally quarterly, annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include cost and equity-method investments, commercial mortgage loans and commercial loans, investments in real estate and other fixed assets, goodwill and other intangible assets.
For additional information about how we test various asset classes for impairment see Notes 5 and 6.

FAIR VALUE INFORMATION ABOUT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
Information regarding the estimation of fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value (excluding insurance contracts and lease contracts) is discussed below:
Mortgage and other loans receivable: Fair values of loans on commercial real estate and other loans receivable are estimated for disclosure purposes using discounted cash flow calculations based on discount rates that we believe market participants would use in determining the price that they would pay for such assets. For certain loans, our current incremental lending rates for similar types of loans are used as the discount rates, because we believe this rate approximates the rates market participants would use. Fair values of residential mortgage loans are generally determined based on market prices, using market-based adjustments for credit and servicing as appropriate. The fair values of policy loans are generally estimated based on unpaid principal amount as of each reporting date. No consideration is given to credit risk because policy loans are effectively collateralized by the cash surrender value of the policies.
Other invested assets: Certain of our subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”) and such membership requires the members to own stock in these FHLBs. The carrying amounts of these stocks approximate fair values.
Cash and short-term investments: The carrying amounts of these assets approximate fair values because of the relatively short period of time between origination and expected realization, and their limited exposure to credit risk.
Other Assets: Primarily represents balances related to reinsurance deposit assets. Fair values for deposit assets are based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs.
Policyholder contract deposits associated with investment-type contracts: Fair values for policyholder contract deposits associated with investment-type contracts not accounted for at fair value are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those of the contracts being valued. When no similar contracts are being offered, the discount rate is the appropriate swap rate (if available) or current risk-free interest rate consistent with the currency in which the cash flows are denominated. To determine fair value, other factors include current policyholder account values and related surrender charges and other assumptions include expectations about policyholder behavior and an appropriate risk margin.
Other liabilities: The majority of the Other liabilities that are financial instruments not measured at fair value represent secured financing arrangements, including repurchase agreements. The carrying amounts of these liabilities approximate fair value because the financing arrangements are short-term and are secured by cash or other liquid collateral.
Fortitude Re funds withheld payable: The funds withheld payable contains an embedded derivative and the changes in its fair value are recognized in earnings each period. The difference between the total Fortitude Re funds withheld payable and the embedded derivative represents the host contract.
Short-term and long-term debt and debt of consolidated investment entities: Fair values of these obligations were determined by reference to quoted market prices, when available and appropriate, or discounted cash flow calculations based upon our current market observable implicit credit spread rates for similar types of borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the debt being valued.
Separate account liabilities—Investment Contracts: Only the portion of separate account liabilities related to products that are investment contracts are reflected in the table below. Separate account liabilities are recorded at the amount credited to the contract holder, which reflects the change in fair value of the corresponding separate account assets, including contract holder deposits less withdrawals and fees; therefore, carrying value approximates fair value.

FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES
Bonds held to maturity are carried at amortized cost when we have the ability and positive intent to hold these securities until maturity. When we do not have the ability or positive intent to hold bonds until maturity, these securities are classified as available-for-sale or the fair value option has been elected. None of our fixed maturity securities met the criteria for held to maturity classification at December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Unrealized gains and losses from available-for-sale investments in fixed maturity securities carried at fair value are reported as a separate component of AOCI, net of policy related amounts and deferred income taxes, in Shareholders’ equity. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from fixed maturity securities for which the fair value option has been elected are reflected in Net investment income. Investments in fixed maturity securities are generally recorded on a trade-date basis.
Interest income is recognized using the effective yield method and reflects amortization of premium and accretion of discount. Premiums and discounts arising from the purchase of bonds classified as available-for-sale are treated as yield adjustments over their estimated holding periods, until maturity, or call date, if applicable. For investments in certain structured securities, recognized yields are updated based on current information regarding the timing and amount of expected undiscounted future cash flows. For high credit quality structured securities, no assumption is made concerning prepayments. As principal prepayments occur, a portion of the unamortized premium or discount is recorded in net investment income such that the effective yield of a security remains constant throughout the life of the security. For structured securities that are not high credit quality, the structured securities yields are based on expected cash flows which take into account both expected credit losses and prepayments.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 176
An allowance for credit losses is not established upon initial recognition of the asset (unless the security is determined to be a purchased credit deteriorated asset which is discussed in more detail below). Subsequently, differences between actual and expected cash flows and changes in expected cash flows are recognized as adjustments to the allowance for credit losses. Changes that cannot be reflected as adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are accounted for as prospective adjustments to yield.

At December 31, 2025, we held 11,154 individual fixed maturity securities that were in an unrealized loss position and for which no allowance for credit losses has been recorded (including 8,986 individual fixed maturity securities that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more). At December 31, 2024, we held 14,190 individual fixed maturity securities that were in an unrealized loss position and for which no allowance for credit losses has been recorded (including 11,054 individual fixed maturity securities that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more). We did not recognize the unrealized losses in earnings on these fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2025 because it was determined that such losses were due to non-credit factors. Additionally, we neither intend to sell the securities nor do we believe that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. For fixed maturity securities with significant declines, we performed fundamental credit analyses on a security-by-security basis, which included consideration of credit enhancements, liquidity position, expected defaults, industry and sector analysis, forecasts and available market data.

Other Invested Assets – Equity Method Investments
We account for hedge funds, private equity funds and other investment partnerships using the equity method of accounting unless our interest is so minor that we may have virtually no influence over partnership operating and financial policies, or we have elected the fair value option. Under the equity method of accounting, our carrying amount generally is our share of the net asset value of the funds or the partnerships, and changes in our share of the net asset values are recorded in Net investment income. In applying the equity method of accounting, we consistently use the most recently available financial information provided by the general partner or manager of each of these investments. Hedge funds are reported as of the balance sheet date. Private equity funds are generally reported on a one-quarter lag. The financial statements of these investees are generally audited annually. The carrying amount of equity method investments totaled $2.8 billion and $2.6 billion as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, representing various ownership percentages each period.

NET REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES
Net realized gains and losses are determined by specific identification. The Net realized gains and losses are generated primarily from the following sources:
Sales or full redemptions of available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, real estate and other alternative investments.
Reductions to the amortized cost basis of available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that have been written down due to our intent to sell them or it being more likely than not that we will be required to sell them.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses on bonds available-for-sale, mortgage and other loans receivable, and loans commitments.
Most changes in the fair value of free standing and embedded derivatives, including changes in the non-performance adjustment are included in Net realized gains (losses). However, changes in derivatives designated as hedging instruments when the fair value of the hedged item is not reported in Net realized gains (losses) are excluded from Net realized gains (losses). Additionally, changes in the fair value of free standing derivatives that hedge certain MRBs are excluded from Net realized gains (losses).
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions.
Changes in fair value of the embedded derivative related to the Fortitude Re funds withheld assets.

EVALUATING INVESTMENTS FOR AN ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND IMPAIRMENTS
Fixed Maturity Securities
If we intend to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and if the fair value of the security is below amortized cost, an impairment has occurred and the amortized cost is written down to current fair value, with a corresponding charge to Net realized gains (losses). No allowance is established in these situations and any previously recorded allowance is reversed. The new cost basis is not adjusted for subsequent increases in estimated fair value. When assessing our intent to sell a fixed maturity security, or whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, management evaluates relevant facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, decisions to reposition our investment portfolio, sales of securities to meet cash flow needs and sales of securities to take advantage of favorable pricing.
For fixed maturity securities for which a decline in the fair value below the amortized cost is due to credit related factors, an allowance is established for the difference between the estimated recoverable value and amortized cost with a corresponding charge to Net realized gains (losses). The allowance for credit losses is limited to the difference between amortized cost and fair value. The estimated recoverable value is the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, as determined by management. The difference between fair value and amortized cost that is not associated with credit related factors is presented in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of fixed maturity securities on which an allowance for credit losses was previously recognized (a separate component of AOCI). Accrued interest is excluded from the measurement of the allowance for credit losses.
When estimating future cash flows for structured fixed maturity securities (e.g., RMBS, CMBS, CLO, ABS) management considers the historical performance of underlying assets and available market information as well as bond-specific structural considerations, such as credit enhancement and the priority of payment structure of the security. In addition, the process of estimating future cash flows includes, but is not limited to, the following critical inputs, which vary by asset class:
Current delinquency rates;
Expected default rates and the timing of such defaults;
Loss severity and the timing of any recovery; and
Expected prepayment speeds.
When estimating future cash flows for corporate, municipal and sovereign fixed maturity securities determined to be credit impaired, management considers:
Expected default rates and the timing of such defaults;
Loss severity and the timing of any recovery; and
Scenarios specific to the issuer and the security, which may also include estimates of outcomes of corporate restructurings, political and macroeconomic factors, stability and financial strength of the issuer, the value of any secondary sources of repayment and the disposition of assets.
We consider severe price declines in our assessment of potential credit impairments. We may also modify our model inputs when we determine that price movements in certain sectors are indicative of factors not captured by the cash flow models.
Under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, credit losses are reassessed each period. The allowance for credit losses and the corresponding charge to Net realized gains (losses) can be reversed if conditions change, however, the allowance for credit losses will never be reduced below zero. When we determine that all or a portion of a fixed maturity security is uncollectable, the uncollectable amortized cost amount is written off with a corresponding reduction to the allowance for credit losses. If we collect cash flows that were previously written off, the recovery is recognized by recording a gain in Net realized gains (losses).

We did not purchase any securities with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since their origination during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Other Invested Assets
Our equity method investments in private equity funds, hedge funds and other entities are evaluated for impairment each reporting period. Such evaluation considers market conditions, events and volatility that may impact the recoverability of the underlying investments within these private equity funds and hedge funds and is based on the nature of the underlying investments and specific inherent risks. Such risks may evolve based on the nature of the underlying investments.
Our investments in real estate are periodically evaluated for recoverability whenever changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. When impairment indicators are present, we compare expected investment cash flows to carrying amount. When the expected cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the investments are written down to fair value with a corresponding charge to earnings.
PLEDGED INVESTMENTS
Secured Financing and Similar Arrangements
We enter into secured financing transactions whereby certain securities are sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), in which we transfer securities in exchange for cash, with an agreement by us to repurchase the same or substantially similar securities. Our secured financing transactions also include those that involve the transfer of securities to financial institutions in exchange for cash (securities lending agreements). In all of these secured financing transactions, the securities transferred by us (pledged collateral) may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. These agreements are recorded at their contracted amounts plus accrued interest, other than those that are accounted for at fair value.
Pledged collateral levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the amounts borrowed during the life of the transactions. In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral under these secured financing transactions, we may be required to transfer cash or additional securities as pledged collateral under these agreements. At the termination of the transactions, we and our counterparties are obligated to return the amounts borrowed and the securities transferred, respectively.
The following table presents the fair value of securities pledged to counterparties under secured financing transactions, including repurchase and securities lending agreements:
| (in millions) | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed maturity securities available-for-sale | $4,405 | $2,921 |
At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, amounts borrowed under repurchase and securities lending agreements totaled $4.5 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively.

There were $0 million and $120 million of reverse repurchase agreements at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
We do not currently offset any secured financing transactions. All such transactions are collateralized and margined daily consistent with market standards and subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with rights of set off.
Insurance – Statutory and Other Deposits
The total carrying value of cash and securities deposited by our insurance subsidiaries under requirements of regulatory authorities or other insurance-related arrangements, including certain annuity-related obligations and certain reinsurance treaties, was $12.1 billion and $9.5 billion at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Other Pledges and Restrictions
Certain of our subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”) and such membership requires the members to own stock in these FHLBs. We owned an aggregate of $306 million and $279 million of stock in FHLBs at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, our subsidiaries have pledged securities available-for-sale and residential loans associated with borrowings and funding agreements from FHLBs, with a fair value of $2.9 billion and $8.5 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2025 and $4.2 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2024.
Certain GICs recorded in policyholder contract deposits with a carrying value of $48 million and $47 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, have provisions that require collateral to be posted or payments to be made by us upon a downgrade of our Insurer Financial Strength (“IFS”) ratings. The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to the counterparties in the event of such downgrades and the aggregate amount of payments that we could be required to make depend on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at and after the time of the downgrade. The fair value of securities pledged as collateral with respect to these obligations was approximately $121 million and $62 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. This collateral primarily consists of securities of the U.S. government and government-sponsored entities and generally cannot be repledged or resold by the counterparties.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 185
As part of our collateralized reinsurance transactions, we pledge collateral to cedants as contractually required. The fair value of securities pledged as excess collateral with respect to these obligations was approximately $650 million and $546 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Additionally, assets supporting these transactions are held solely for the benefit of the cedants and insulated from obligations owed to our other policyholders and general creditors.
Reinsurance transactions between Corebridge and Fortitude Re were structured as modified coinsurance.
- Lending Activities
Mortgage and other loans receivable include commercial mortgages, residential mortgages, policy loans on life and annuity contracts, commercial loans, and other loans and notes receivable. Commercial mortgages, residential mortgages, commercial loans, and other loans and notes receivable are carried at unpaid principal balances less allowance for credit losses and plus or minus adjustments for the accretion or amortization of discount or premium. Interest income on such loans is accrued as earned.
Direct costs of originating commercial mortgages, commercial loans, and other loans and notes receivable, net of nonrefundable points and fees, are deferred and included in the carrying amount of the related receivables. The amount deferred is amortized to income as an adjustment to earnings using the interest method. Premiums and discounts on purchased residential mortgages are also amortized to income as an adjustment to earnings using the interest method.
Policy loans on life and annuity contracts are carried at unpaid principal balances. There is no allowance for policy loans because these loans serve to reduce the death benefit paid when the death claim is made, and the balances are effectively collateralized by the cash surrender value of the policy or annuity.
The following table presents the composition of Mortgage and other loans receivable, net:
| (in millions) | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial mortgages(a) | $37,009 | $35,795 |
| Residential mortgages | 13,839 | 12,735 |
| Life insurance policy loans | 1,694 | 1,726 |

| Total mortgage and other loans receivable | 55,208 | 53,539 |
| Allowance for credit losses(c) | (727) | (771) |
| Mortgage and other loans receivable, net | $54,481 | $52,768 |
(a)Commercial mortgages primarily represent loans for apartments, offices and industrial properties, with exposures in New York and California representing the largest geographic concentrations (aggregating approximately 17% and 10%, respectively, at December 31, 2025, and 18% and 10%, respectively, at December 31, 2024). The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for NY and CA was 66% and 57% at December 31, 2025, respectively, and 65% and 56% at December 31, 2024, respectively. The debt service coverage ratio for NY and CA was 1.9 X and 2.1 X at December 31, 2025, respectively, and 1.9 X and 2.1 X at December 31, 2024, respectively.
(b)There were no loans that were held for sale which are carried at lower of cost or market as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
(c)Does not include allowance for credit losses of $7 million and $20 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, in relation to off-balance-sheet commitments to fund commercial mortgage loans, which is recorded in Other liabilities.
Interest income is not accrued when payment of contractual principal and interest is not expected. Any cash received on impaired loans is generally recorded as a reduction of the current carrying amount of the loan. Accrual of interest income is generally resumed when delinquent contractual principal and interest are repaid or when a portion of the delinquent contractual payments are made, and the ongoing required contractual payments have been made for an appropriate period. As of December 31, 2025, $128 million and $0.9 billion of residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, respectively, are in nonaccrual status. As of December 31, 2024, $93 million and $1.0 billion of residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, respectively, were placed on nonaccrual status.
Accrued interest is presented separately and is included in Accrued investment income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025, accrued interest receivable was $107 million and $175 million associated with residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, accrued interest receivable was $71 million and $154 million associated with residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, respectively.
A significant majority of commercial mortgages in the portfolio are non-recourse loans and, accordingly, the only guarantees are for specific items that are exceptions to the non-recourse provisions. It is therefore extremely rare for us to have cause to enforce the provisions of a guarantee on a commercial real estate or mortgage loan.
Nonperforming loans are generally those loans where payment of contractual principal or interest is more than 90 days past due. Nonperforming loans were approximately 1% of our loan portfolio for all periods presented.

*The loan-to-value ratio compares the current unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan. Our weighted average loan-to-value ratio was 60% at December 31, 2025 and 60% at December 31, 2024. The loan-to-value ratios have been updated within the last three months to reflect the current carrying values of the loans. We update the valuations of collateral properties by obtaining independent appraisals, generally at least once per year.

*Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) is the credit quality indicator used to evaluate consumer credit risk for residential mortgage loan borrowers and have been updated within the last twelve months. FICO scores for residential mortgage investor loans to corporate entities are those of the guarantor at time of purchase. On December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 residential loans direct to consumers totaled $7.8 billion and $8.4 billion, respectively.
METHODOLOGY USED TO ESTIMATE THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
At the time of origination or purchase, an allowance for credit losses is established for mortgage and other loan receivables and is updated each reporting period. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in net realized gains (losses). This allowance reflects the risk of loss, even when that risk is remote, and reflects losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the loan. The allowance for credit losses considers available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. We revert to historical information when we determine that we can no longer reliably forecast future economic assumptions.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 188
The allowances for the commercial mortgage loans and residential mortgage loans are estimated utilizing a probability of default and loss given default outputs from portfolio modeling. Loss rate factors are determined based on historical data, current loan and property performance and forecasted information. The loss rates are applied based on individual loan attributes and considering such data points as loan-to-value ratios, FICO scores, and debt service coverage.
The estimate of credit losses also reflects management’s assumptions on certain real estate factors that include, but are not limited to, real estate values and expected rental values plus certain macroeconomic forecasts such as, employment, inflation, and interest rates.
Accrued interest is excluded from the measurement of the allowance for credit losses and accrued interest is reversed through interest income once a loan is placed on non-accrual.
When all or a portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion of the carrying amount of the loan is charged off against the allowance.
We also have off-balance sheet commitments related to our commercial mortgage loans. The liability for expected credit losses related to these commercial mortgage loan commitments is reported in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When a commitment is funded, we record a loan receivable and reclassify the liability for expected credit losses related to the commitment into loan allowance for expected credit losses. Other changes in the liability for expected credit losses on loan commitments are recorded in Net realized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
The following table presents a rollforward of the changes in the allowance for credit losses on Mortgage and other loans receivable*:

*Does not include allowance for credit losses of $7 million, $20 million and $58 million at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in relation to the off-balance-sheet commitments to fund commercial mortgage loans, which is recorded in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our expectations and models used to estimate the allowance for losses on commercial and residential mortgage loans are regularly updated to reflect the current economic environment.
LOAN MODIFICATIONS
The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. We use a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses for our commercial and residential mortgage loans. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.
Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses utilizing the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification.
When modifications are executed, they often will be in the form of principal forgiveness, term extensions, interest rate reductions, or some combination of any of these concessions. When principal is forgiven, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.
We assess whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on a variety of factors, including the borrower’s current default on any of its outstanding debt, the probability of a default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification, the insufficiency of the borrower’s forecasted cash flows to service any of its outstanding debt (including both principal and interest), and the borrower’s inability to access alternative third party financing at an interest rate that would be reflective of current market conditions for a non-troubled debtor.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 189
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, commercial mortgage loans with an amortized cost of $279 million, $191 million and $66 million, respectively, (including $13 million, $62 million and $54 million supporting the funds withheld arrangements with Fortitude Re) and commercial loans, other loans and notes receivable with an amortized cost of $10 million, $168 million and $168 million (none of which were supporting the funds withheld arrangements with Fortitude Re) were granted term extensions and/or changes in interest payment terms. The modified commercial mortgage loans represent less than 1%, of this portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The modified commercial loans, other loans and notes receivable represent less than 1%,5% and 1%, respectively of this portfolio segment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. These modifications added less than 1 year to the weighted average life of loans in each of these two portfolio segments.
There were no loans that defaulted during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 that had been previously modified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.
Corebridge closely monitors the performance of the loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. All loans with borrowers with financial difficulty that have been modified in the previous 12 months are current and performing in conjunction with its modified terms.
- Reinsurance
In the ordinary course of business, our companies may use ceded reinsurance to limit potential losses, provide additional capacity for growth, minimize exposure to significant risks or to provide greater diversification of our businesses. We may also use assumed reinsurance to diversify our business. Reinsurance premiums ceded are recognized when due, along with corresponding benefits. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are presented as a component of Reinsurance assets. In addition to contracts which qualify for reinsurance accounting under U.S. GAAP, the Company also manages its risks through contracts which follow deposit accounting.
Reinsurance assets include the balances due from reinsurance and insurance companies under the terms of our reinsurance agreements for ceded future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts and benefits paid and unpaid. We remain liable to the extent that our reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance contracts, and as such, we regularly evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentration of our credit risk. The estimation of the allowance for credit losses and disputes requires judgment for which key inputs typically include historical trends regarding uncollectible balances, disputes and credit events as well as specific reviews of balances in dispute or subject to credit impairment. Changes in the allowance for credit losses and disputes on reinsurance assets are reflected in policyholder benefits within the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Reinsurance recoverables are recognized in a manner consistent with the liabilities relating to the underlying reinsured contracts. The reinsurance recoverables for coinsurance and modco contracts, along with amounts recoverable on Yearly Renewable Term (“YRT”) treaties, are determined based on updated NPRs, reflecting updated actuarial assumptions using locked-in upper-medium investment instrument yield discount rates with changes recognized as remeasurement gains and losses reported in income. In addition, reinsurance recoverables are remeasured at the balance sheet date using current upper-medium grade discount rates with changes reported in OCI. For reinsurance agreements that reinsure existing, or non-contemporaneous (in-force) traditional and limited payment long-duration insurance contracts, the reinsurance recoverable is measured using the upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield discount rate assumption related to the effective date of the reinsurance contract. Therefore, for non-contemporaneous reinsurance agreements executed after January 1, 2021, the locked-in rate to accrete interest into the income statement related to the reinsurance recoverable would be different from the locked-in rate used for accreting interest on the direct reserve for future policy benefits. Certain reinsured guaranteed benefits previously reported as reinsurance recoverables are classified as Market risk benefit assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of ceded MRBs, including the impact of changes in counterparty credit risk, are recorded in net income in “Change in fair value of market risk benefits, net.”
Certain of our reinsurers have sought rate increases on certain YRT agreements. We have disputed, and expect to continue disputing, any requested rate increases under these agreements. These disputes may lead to and have resulted in arbitration over the terms of the reinsurance contracts. To the extent reinsurers seek retroactive premium increases, our practice is to assess and accrue our current estimate of probable loss with respect to these matters when appropriate.

Effective August 1, 2025, AGL entered into a coinsurance and modco reinsurance agreement with CSLR to reinsure 100% of its individual variable annuity contracts. The majority of the variable annuity contracts are considered investment contracts as they do not contain significant insurance risk; therefore, the reinsurance of such contracts are accounted for under deposit accounting. As of the effective date of the AGL Reinsurance Agreement, we transferred to the reinsurer $1.9 billion of assets primarily consisting of fixed maturity securities supporting the general account liabilities, net of a ceding commission. At inception, we recorded a net deposit asset of $2.5 billion, which includes a $2.1 billion deferred gain, reported in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net deposit asset was $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2025. The deferred gain is amortized into income over the estimated remaining life of the reinsured contracts. Additionally, $45.1 billion of separate account liabilities were ceded under the modco portion of the agreement. Refer to Note 1 for additional information related to the reinsurance agreement.

FORTITUDE RE
AGL and USL have modco reinsurance agreements with Fortitude Re, a registered Class 4 and Class E reinsurer in Bermuda. VALIC’s modco agreement with Fortitude Re was recaptured effective January 1, 2025, resulting in a $45 million charge to pre-tax earnings.
In the modco arrangement, the investments supporting the reinsurance agreements are withheld by, and therefore continue to reside on the balance sheet of, the ceding company (i.e., Corebridge), thereby creating an obligation for the ceding company to pay the reinsurer (i.e., Fortitude Re) at a later date. Additionally, as Corebridge maintains ownership of these investments, Corebridge maintains its existing accounting for these assets (e.g., the changes in fair value of available-for-sale securities will be recognized within OCI). Corebridge has established a funds withheld payable to Fortitude Re while simultaneously establishing a reinsurance asset representing liabilities for the insurance coverage that Fortitude Re has assumed. The funds withheld payable contains an embedded derivative and changes in fair value of the embedded derivative related to the funds withheld payable are recognized in earnings through realized gains (losses). This embedded derivative is considered a total return swap with contractual returns that are attributable to various assets and liabilities associated with these reinsurance agreements. As the majority of the invested assets supporting the modco are fixed income securities that are available-for-sale, there is a mismatch between the accounting for the embedded derivative as its changes in fair value are recorded through net income while changes in the fair value of the fixed maturity securities available-for-sale are recorded through OCI.
As our accounting policy is to include reinsurance balances when performing loss recognition testing and as there will be no future profits recognized on this business, we will not incur any future loss recognition events related to business ceded to Fortitude Re.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, approximately $24.1 billion and $24.9 billion of liabilities related to business written by Corebridge, had been ceded to Fortitude Re under these reinsurance transactions.

(a)The derivative assets and liabilities have been presented net of cash collateral. The derivative assets and liabilities supporting the Fortitude Re funds withheld arrangements had a fair market value of $0 million and $615 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. The derivative assets and liabilities supporting the Fortitude Re funds withheld arrangements had a fair market value of $7 million and $182 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. These derivative assets and liabilities are fully collateralized either by cash or securities.

| Comprehensive income (loss) | $(52) | $75 | $25 |
*The income tax expense (benefit) and the tax impact in OCI was computed using the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21%.
Various assets supporting the Fortitude Re funds withheld arrangements are reported at amortized cost, and as such, changes in the fair value of these assets are not reflected in the financial statements. However, changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the embedded derivative in the Fortitude Re funds withheld arrangement and the appreciation (depreciation) of the assets is the primary driver of the comprehensive income (loss) reflected above.
REINSURANCE SECURITY
Our third-party reinsurance arrangements do not relieve us from our direct obligations to our beneficiaries. Thus, a credit exposure exists to the extent that any reinsurer fails to meet the obligations assumed under any reinsurance agreement. We hold substantial collateral as security under related reinsurance agreements in the form of funds, securities, and/or letters of credit, as well as funds withheld reinsurance structures. A provision has been recorded for estimated unrecoverable reinsurance. Fortitude Re and CSLR are the only reinsurers where the amount due from the reinsurer is in excess of 5% of our total reinsurance assets, including deposit assets. Our reinsurance asset with Fortitude Re was$24.1 billion and $24.9 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Assets held by Corebridge with a fair value of$23.6 billion and $24.3 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, provide collateral supporting funds withheld balances due to Fortitude Re. Our reinsurance asset, including deposit assets with CSLR was$2.7 billion as of December 31, 2025. The reinsurance agreement with CSLR includes extensive counterparty protections, including comfort trusts with defined investment guidelines, over-collateralization requirements, and a protective hedging arrangement. We believe that no exposure to a single reinsurer represents an inappropriate concentration of credit risk to Corebridge.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 192
STATUTORY REINSURANCE
In addition to contracts which qualify for reinsurance accounting under U.S. GAAP, the Company also manages its risks through contracts which follow deposit accounting. Expenses associated with these contracts are recorded in General operating and other expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). For example, certain of our companies manage the capital impact of their statutory reserve requirements, including those resulting from the NAIC Model Regulation “Valuation of Life Insurance Policies” (“Regulation XXX”) and NAIC Actuarial Guideline 38 (“Guideline AXXX”), through reinsurance transactions which do not qualify for reinsurance accounting under U.S. GAAP. From July 1, 2016 through September 30, 2023, AGL has entered into and amended a reinsurance agreement to cede approximately $23 billion of statutory reserves for certain whole life, term and universal life policies subject to the NAIC’s Model Regulation “Valuation of Life Insurance Policies” (“Regulation XXX”) and NAIC Actuarial Guideline 38 (“Guideline AXXX”) to an unaffiliated reinsurer. Underone affiliated reinsurance arrangement, USL obtains letters of credit to support statutory recognition of the ceded reinsurance. As of December 31, 2025 USL hadone bilateral letter of credit currently in the amount of $125 million, which was issued on May 9, 2022 and expires on February 7, 2028.
REINSURANCE – CREDIT LOSSES
The estimation of reinsurance recoverables involves a significant amount of judgment. Reinsurance assets include reinsurance recoverables on future policy benefits and policyholder contract deposits that are estimated as part of our insurance liability valuation process and, consequently, are subject to similar judgments and uncertainties as the estimation of gross benefit liabilities.
We assess the collectability of reinsurance recoverable balances in each reporting period, through either historical trends of disputes and credit events or financial analysis of the credit quality of the reinsurer. We record adjustments to reflect the results of these assessments through an allowance for credit losses and disputes on uncollectible reinsurance that reduces the carrying amount of reinsurance and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (collectively, the reinsurance recoverable balances). This estimate requires significant judgment for which key considerations include:
paid and unpaid amounts recoverable;
whether the balance is in dispute or subject to legal collection;
the relative financial health of the reinsurer as classified by the Obligor Risk Ratings (“ORRs”) we assign to each reinsurer based upon our financial reviews; insurers that are financially troubled (i.e., in run-off, have voluntarily or involuntarily been placed in receivership, are insolvent, are in the process of liquidation or otherwise subject to formal or informal regulatory restriction) are assigned ORRs that will generate a significant allowance; and
whether collateral and collateral arrangements exist.
An estimate of the reinsurance recoverable’s lifetime expected credit losses is established utilizing a probability of default and loss given default method, which reflects the reinsurer’s ORR. The allowance for credit losses excludes disputed amounts. An allowance for disputes is established for a reinsurance recoverable using the losses incurred model for contingencies.
The total reinsurance recoverables as of December 31, 2025 were $26.1 billion. As of that date, utilizing Corebridge’s ORRs, (i) approximately 100% of the reinsurance recoverables were investment grade, (ii) approximately 0% were non-investment grade reinsurance recoverables and (iii) none of the reinsurance recoverables were related to entities that were not rated by Corebridge.
Reinsurance Recoverable Allowance
The following table presents a rollforward of the reinsurance recoverable allowance:

There were no material recoveries of credit losses previously written off for the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023.
Past-Due Status
We consider a reinsurance asset to be past due when it is 90 days past due and record an allowance for disputes when there is reasonable uncertainty of the collectability of a disputed amount during the reporting period. Past-due balances were not significant for any of the periods presented.

- Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE by its primary beneficiary is not based on majority voting interest but is based on other criteria discussed below.
We enter into various arrangements with VIEs in the normal course of business and consolidate the VIEs when we determine we are the primary beneficiary. This analysis includes a review of the VIE’s capital structure, related contractual relationships and terms, nature of the VIE’s operations and purpose, nature of the VIE’s interests issued and our involvement with the entity. When assessing the need to consolidate a VIE, we evaluate the design of the VIE as well as the related risks to which the entity was designed to expose the variable interest holders.
The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. While also considering these factors, the consolidation conclusion depends on the breadth of our decision-making ability and our ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 194

REAL ESTATE AND INVESTMENT ENTITIES
Through our insurance operations and Corebridge Real Estate Investors Inc., we are an investor in various real estate investment entities, some of which are VIEs. These investments are typically with unaffiliated third-party developers via a partnership or limited liability company structure. The VIEs’ activities consist of the development or redevelopment of commercial, industrial and residential real estate. Our involvement varies from being a passive equity investor or finance provider to actively managing the activities of the VIEs.
Our insurance operations participate as passive investors in the equity interests issued by certain third party-managed hedge and private equity funds that are VIEs. Our insurance operations typically are not involved in the design or establishment of these VIEs, nor do they actively participate in the management of the VIEs.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 196
SECURITIZATION AND REPACKAGING VEHICLES
We created certain VIEs that hold investments, primarily in investment grade debt securities and loans, and issued beneficial interests in these investments. Some of these VIEs were created to facilitate our purchase of asset-backed securities. In these situations, all of the beneficial interests are owned by Corebridge and affiliated entities and are consolidated by Corebridge. In other instances, we have created VIEs that are securitizations of residential mortgage loans or other forms of collateralized loan obligations or we repackage loans and other assets into pass-through securities. Corebridge subsidiaries or affiliated entities own some of the beneficial interests of these VIEs, and we maintain the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance. Accordingly, we consolidate these entities and those beneficial interests issued to third parties are reported as debt of consolidated investment entities. This debt is non-recourse to Corebridge.
RMBS, CMBS, OTHER ABS AND CLOs
Primarily through our insurance operations, we are a passive investor in RMBS, CMBS, other ABS and CLOs, the majority of which are issued by domestic special purpose entities. We generally do not sponsor or transfer assets to, or act as the servicer to these asset-backed structures and were not involved in the design of these entities.
Our maximum exposure in these types of structures is limited to our investment in securities issued by these entities and, where applicable, any unfunded commitments to these entities. Conditional unfunded commitments for these unconsolidated entities are $797 million at December 31, 2025. Based on the nature of our investments and our passive involvement in these types of structures, we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of these entities. We have not included these entities in the above tables; however, the fair values of our investments in these structures are reported in Notes 4 and 5.
Additionally, Corebridge is a passive investor in certain investment vehicles that securitized certain secured loans, bank loans and residential mortgage loans. The notes held by Corebridge and their related fair values are included in the available-for-sale disclosures that are reported in Notes 4 and 5. As of December 31, 2025, the total VIE assets of these securitizations are $2.5 billion, of which Corebridge’s maximum exposure to loss including unfunded commitments is $2.5 billion. As of December 31, 2024, the total VIE assets of these securitizations were $2.6 billion, of which Corebridge’s maximum exposure to loss is $2.5 billion.
- Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
We use derivatives and other financial instruments as part of our financial risk management programs and as part of our investment operations. Interest rate derivatives (such as interest rate futures, swaps, options and bond forwards), equity derivatives (such as equity futures, swaps and options) and fixed maturity securities are used to economically mitigate interest rate risk, equity risk and credit spread exposure associated with MRBs and embedded derivatives contained in insurance contract liabilities. Interest rate derivatives are used to manage interest rate risk associated with fixed maturity securities as well as other interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Equity derivatives are used to economically mitigate financial risk associated with embedded derivatives and MRBs in certain insurance liabilities. In addition, equity derivatives are used to economically hedge certain investments. Foreign exchange derivatives (principally foreign exchange forwards and swaps) are used to economically mitigate risk associated with foreign denominated investments, net capital exposures and foreign currency transactions. We use credit derivatives to manage our credit exposures. The derivatives are effective economic hedges of the exposures that they are meant to offset. As part of our strategy to enhance investment income, in addition to hedging activities, we also enter into derivative contracts with respect to investment operations, which may include, among other things, credit default swaps (“CDS”), total return swaps and purchases of investments with embedded derivatives, such as equity-linked notes and convertible bonds.
Interest rate, currency and equity swaps, credit contracts, swaptions, options and forward transactions are accounted for as derivatives, recorded on a trade-date basis and carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are generally reflected in income, except in certain situations in which hedge accounting is applied and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in AOCI. Aggregate asset or liability positions are netted on the Consolidated Balance Sheets only to the extent permitted by qualifying master netting arrangements in place with each respective counterparty. Cash collateral posted with counterparties in conjunction with transactions supported by qualifying master netting arrangements is reported as a reduction of the corresponding net derivative liability, while cash collateral received in conjunction with transactions supported by qualifying master netting arrangements is reported as a reduction of the corresponding net derivative asset.
Derivatives, with the exception of embedded derivatives, are reported at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other assets and Other liabilities. Embedded derivatives are generally presented with the host contract in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A bifurcated embedded derivative is measured at fair value and accounted for in the same manner as a freestanding derivative contract. The corresponding host contract is accounted for according to the accounting guidance applicable for that instrument.
For additional information on embedded derivatives and MRBs, see Notes 4, 13 and 14.

(c)This relates to fair value hedges on GICs.
COLLATERAL
We engage in derivative transactions that are not subject to a clearing requirement directly with third parties, in most cases under International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements. Many of the ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) provisions, which provide for collateral postings that may vary based on criteria such as ratings and threshold levels. We attempt to reduce our risk with certain counterparties by entering into agreements that enable collateral to be obtained from a counterparty on an up-front or contingent basis. We minimize the risk that counterparties might be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring counterparty credit exposure and collateral value and generally requiring additional collateral to be posted upon the occurrence of certain events or circumstances. Additionally, in the case reinsurance agreements involve derivative transactions, cash collateral is provided to us by reinsurers and can be posted to third parties under the respective ISDA and CSA provisions.
Collateral posted by us to third parties for derivative transactions was $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. No collateral was posted by us to related parties for derivative transactions at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In the case of collateral posted under derivative transactions that are not subject to clearing, this collateral can generally be repledged or resold by the counterparties. Collateral provided to us from third parties for derivative transactions was $4.0 billion and $2.7 billion at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Collateral provided to us from related parties for derivative transactions was $0 and $21 million at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In the case of collateral provided to us under derivative transactions that are not subject to clearing, we generally can repledge or resell collateral.
OFFSETTING
We have elected to present all derivative receivables and derivative payables, and the related cash collateral received and paid, on a net basis on our Consolidated Balance Sheets when a legally enforceable ISDA Master Agreement exists between us and our derivative counterparty. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement governing multiple derivative transactions between two counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement generally provides for the net settlement of all, or a specified group, of these derivative transactions, as well as transferred collateral, through a single payment, and in a single currency, as applicable. The net settlement provisions apply in the event of a default on, or affecting any, one derivative transaction or a termination event affecting all, or a specified group of, derivative transactions governed by the ISDA Master Agreement.
HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We designated certain derivatives entered into with related parties as fair value hedges of available-for-sale securities held by ourinsurance subsidiaries. The fair value hedges include foreign currency forwards and cross-currency swaps designated as hedges of the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated available-for-sale securities attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. We also designated certain interest rate swaps entered into with both third parties and related parties as fair value hedges of fixed rate GICs attributable to changes in benchmark interest rates. In December 2025, we also entered into certain interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value portfolio layer hedges of available-for-sale investment securities.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 199
In 2022 we designated certain interest rate swaps entered into with related parties as cash flow hedges of forecasted coupon payments associated with anticipated long-term debt issuances and we recognized derivative gains in AOCI. In each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, $28 million has been reclassified into Interest expense. The remaining amount in AOCI, of $118 million, will be reclassified into Interest expense over the life of the hedging relationship, which can extend up to 30 years. We expect $28 million to be reclassified into Interest expense over the next 12 months. There areno amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness that are recognized in earnings.
For additional information related to the debt issuances, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We also designated certain interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of floating-rate investment assets. Related to such swaps, for the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized derivative gains (losses) of $173 million in AOCI and $(49) million in net investment income. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized derivative gains (losses) of $(218) million in AOCI and $(41) million in net investment income. As it relates to such hedges, we do not expect any reclassifications into net investment income over the next 12 months and there are no amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness that are recognized in earnings.
We use cross-currency swaps as hedging instruments in net investment hedge relationships to mitigate the foreign exchange risk associated with our non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign subsidiaries. For net investment hedge relationships that use derivatives as hedging instruments, we assess hedge effectiveness and measure hedge ineffectiveness using changes in forward rates. We recognized gains (losses) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 of $(8) million, $6 million and $(3) million, respectively, included in Change in foreign currency translation adjustment in OCI related to the net investment hedge relationships. The gains (losses) recognized primarily include transactions with related parties. A qualitative methodology is utilized to assess hedge effectiveness for net investment hedges, while regression analysis is employed for all other hedges.

(c)This represents activity related to derivatives that economically hedge changes in fair value of certain MRBs. Excludes the impact of ceding derivative gains and losses in conjunction with the reinsurance agreements with CSLR. See Note 1 for additional information.
In addition to embedded derivatives within policyholder contract deposits, certain guaranteed benefits within insurance contracts are classified as MRBs. The change in the fair value of these benefits is disclosed in Note 14. The change in the fair value of MRBs and the derivative instruments that hedge those risks are recognized in “Change in the fair value of MRBs, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
- Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
Deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) represent those costs that are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal of existing insurance contracts. We defer incremental costs that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract. Such DAC generally include agent or broker commissions and bonuses, and medical fees that would not have been incurred if the insurance contract had not been acquired or renewed. Each cost is analyzed to assess whether it is fully deferrable. We partially defer costs, including certain commissions, when we do not believe that the entire cost is directly related to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts. Commissions that are not deferred to DAC are recorded in Non-deferrable insurance commissions in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
We also defer a portion of employee total compensation and payroll-related fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing specific acquisition or renewal activities, including costs associated with the time spent on underwriting, policy issuance and processing, and sales force contract selling. The amounts deferred are derived based on successful efforts for each distribution channel and/or cost center from which the cost originates.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 201
DAC for all contracts, except for those with limited to no exposure to policyholder behavior risk, (i.e., certain investment contracts), is grouped and amortized on a constant level basis (i.e., approximating straight line amortization with adjustments for expected terminations) over the expected term of the related contracts using assumptions consistent with those used in estimating the related liability for future policy benefits, or any other related balances, for those corresponding contracts, as applicable. Capitalized expenses are only included in DAC amortization as expenses are incurred. For amortization purposes, contracts are grouped into annual cohorts by issue year and product and to segregate reinsured and non-reinsured contracts. For life insurance contracts, amortization is based on insurance in-force, while initial deposits are used for deferred annuity contracts, structured settlements and pension risk transfer products. Changes in future assumptions (e.g., expected duration of contracts or amount of coverage expected to be in force) are applied by adjusting the amortization rate prospectively. The Company has elected to implicitly account for actual experience, whether favorable or unfavorable, in its amortization expense each period. DAC is capped at the amount of expenses capitalized as the DAC balance does not accrue interest. DAC is not subject to recoverability testing.
Value of Business Acquired (“VOBA”): VOBA is determined at the time of acquisition and is reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with DAC. This value is based on the present value of future pre-tax profits discounted at yields applicable at the time of purchase. VOBA is amortized, consistent with DAC, i.e., over the life of the business on a constant level basis.
Internal Replacements of Long-duration and Investment-oriented Products: For some products, policyholders can elect to modify product benefits, features, rights or coverages by exchanging a contract for a new contract or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. These transactions are known as internal replacements. If the modification does not substantially change the contract, we do not change the accounting and amortization of existing DAC and related actuarial balances. If an internal replacement represents a substantial change, the original contract is considered to be extinguished and any related DAC or other policy balances are charged or credited to income, and any new deferrable costs associated with the replacement contract are deferred.
The following table presents a rollforward of deferred policy acquisition costs related to long-duration contracts for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

DEFERRED SALES INDUCEMENTS
We offer deferred sales inducements (“DSI”) which include enhanced crediting rates or bonus payments to contract holders (bonus interest) on certain annuity and investment contract products. To qualify for accounting treatment as an asset, the bonus interest must be explicitly identified in the contract at inception. We must also demonstrate that such amounts are incremental to amounts we credit on similar contracts without bonus interest and are higher than the contracts’ expected ongoing crediting rates for periods after the bonus period. DSI is reported in Other assets, while amortization related to DSI is recorded in Interest credited to policyholder account balances. DSI amounts are deferred and amortized on a constant level basis over the life of the contract consistent with DAC. Changes in future assumptions (e.g., expected duration of contracts) are applied by adjusting the amortization rate prospectively rather than through a retrospective catch up adjustment. The Company has elected to implicitly account for actual experience, whether favorable or unfavorable, in its amortization expense each period, consistent with DAC.
The following table presents a rollforward of deferred sales inducement assets related to long-duration contracts for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

- Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
We report variable contracts within the separate accounts when investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder and the separate account meets additional accounting criteria to qualify for separate account treatment. The assets supporting the variable portion of variable annuity and variable universal life contracts that qualify for separate account treatment are carried at fair value and are reported as separate account assets, with an equivalent summary total reported as separate account liabilities. The assets of insulated accounts are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise from any of our other businesses.
Policy values for variable products and investment contracts are expressed in terms of investment units. Each unit is linked to an asset portfolio. The value of a unit increases or decreases based on the value of the linked asset portfolio. The current liability at any time is the sum of the current unit value of all investment units in the separate accounts, plus any liabilities for MRBs.
Amounts assessed against the policyholders for mortality, administrative and other services are included in policy fees. Investment performance (including investment income, net investment gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses)) and the corresponding amounts credited to policyholders of such separate accounts are offset within the same line in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
For discussion of the fair value measurement of guaranteed benefits that are accounted for as MRBs, see Note 4.

- Future Policy Benefits
Future policy benefits primarily include reserves for traditional life and annuity payout contracts, which represent an estimate of the present value of future benefits less the present value of future net premiums. Included in Future policy benefits are liabilities for annuities issued in structured settlement arrangements whereby a claimant receives life contingent payments over their lifetime. Also included are pension risk transfer arrangements whereby an upfront premium is received in exchange for guaranteed retirement benefits. All payments under these arrangements are fixed and determinable with respect to their amounts and dates. Structured settlement or other annuitization elections (e.g., certain single premium immediate annuities) that do not involve life contingent payments, but rather payments for a stated period are included in Policyholder contract deposits.
For traditional and limited pay long-duration products, benefit reserves are accrued and benefit expense is recognized using a net premium ratio (“NPR”) methodology for each annual cohort of business. This NPR method incorporates periodic retrospective revisions to the NPR to reflect updated actuarial assumptions and variances in actual versus expected experience. The Future policy benefit liability is accrued by multiplying the gross premium recognized in each period by the NPR. The net premium is equal to the portion of the gross premium required to provide for all benefits and certain expenses and may not exceed 100%. Benefits in excess of premiums are expensed immediately through policyholder benefits. In addition, periodic revisions to the NPR below 100% may result in reclassification between the benefit reserves and deferred profit liability for limited pay contracts.
Insurance contracts are aggregated into annual cohorts for the purposes of determining the liability for future policy benefits (“LFPB”), but are not aggregated across segments. These annual cohorts may be further segregated based on product characteristics, or to distinguish business reinsured from non-reinsured business or products issued in different functional currencies. The assumptions used to calculate the future policy benefits include discount rates, persistency and recognized morbidity and mortality tables modified to reflect the Company's experience.
The current discount rate assumption for the liability for future policy benefits is derived from market observable yields on upper-medium-grade fixed income instruments. The Company uses an external index as the source of the yields on these instruments for the first 30 years. For years 30 to 50, the yield is derived using market observable yields. Yields for years 50 to 100 are extrapolated using a flat forward approach, maintaining a constant forward spread through the period. The current discount rate assumption is updated quarterly and used to remeasure the liability at the reporting date, with the resulting change in the discount rate reflected in OCI.
The method for constructing and applying the locked-in discount rate assumptions on newly issued business is determined based on factors such as product characteristics and the expected timing of cash flows. This discount rate assumption is derived from market observable yields on upper-medium-grade fixed income instruments. Similar to the current discount rate assumption, the Company may employ conversion and interpolation methodologies when necessary. The applicable interest accretion is reflected in policyholder benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 in the traditional and term life insurance block, capping of net premium ratios at 100% caused a (credit)/charge to net income of $0 million, $(1) million and $(1) million, respectively. The discount rate was updated based on market observable information. Relative to the prior period, the increase in upper-medium-grade fixed income yields resulted in a decrease in the liability for future policy benefits.

Actuarial Assumption Updates for Liability for Future Policy Benefits
In 2025, Corebridge recognized an unfavorable impact to net income primarily driven by updates to policyholder assumptions, including lapse and mortality updates related to traditional products in Life Insurance. In 2024, Corebridge recognized a favorable impact to net income primarily due to model refinements offset by lapse and mortality assumption updates in Life Insurance. In 2023, Corebridge recognized an unfavorable impact to net income due to other refinements on Life products offset in part by mortality assumption updates.
Deferred Profit Liability: Corebridge issues certain annuity and life insurance contracts where premiums are paid up-front or for a shorter period than benefits will be paid (i.e., limited pay contracts). A Deferred Profit Liability (“DPL”) is required to be established to avoid recognition of gains when these contracts are issued. DPLs are amortized over the life of the contracts to align the revenue recognized with the related benefit expenses.
The difference between the gross premium received and recorded as revenue and the net premium is deferred and recognized in policyholder benefits in a constant relationship to insurance in-force, or for annuities, the amount of expected future policy benefits. This deferred profit liability accretes interest and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Future policy benefits. Cash flow assumptions included in the measurement of the DPL are the same as those utilized in the respective LFPBs and are reviewed at least annually. The cash flow estimates for DPLs are updated on a retrospective catch-up basis at the same time as the cash flow estimates for the related LFPBs. The updated LFPB cash flows are used to recalculate the DPL at the inception of the applicable related LFPB cohort. The difference between the recalculated DPL at the beginning of the current reporting period and the carrying amount of the DPL at the current reporting period is recognized as a gain or loss in policyholder benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Additional Liabilities: For universal-life type products, insurance benefits in excess of the account balance are generally recognized as expenses in the period incurred unless the design of the product is such that future charges are insufficient to cover the benefits, in which case an “additional liability” is accrued over the life of the contract. These additional liabilities are included in Future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our additional liabilities include universal life policies with secondary guarantees and these additional liabilities are recognized in addition to the Policyholder account balances. For universal life policies with secondary guarantees, as well as other universal life policies for which profits followed by losses are expected at contract inception, a liability is recognized based on a benefit ratio of (a) the present value of total expected payments, in excess of the account value, over the life of the contract, divided by (b) the present value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract. For universal life policies without secondary guarantees, for which profits followed by losses are first expected after contract inception, we establish a liability, in addition to policyholder account balances, so that expected future losses are recognized in proportion to the emergence of profits in the earlier (profitable) years. Universal life account balances are reported within Policyholder contract deposits, while these additional liabilities are reported within the liability for future policy benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These additional liabilities are also adjusted to reflect the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale on accumulated assessments, with related changes recognized through OCI. The policyholder behavior assumptions for these liabilities include mortality, lapses and premium persistency. The capital market assumptions used for the liability for universal life policies include discount rates and net earned rates.

Actuarial Assumption Updates for Liability for universal life policies
In 2025, Corebridge recognized an unfavorable impact to net income primarily due to lapse updates for certain universal life products. In 2024, Corebridge recognized an unfavorable impact to net income due to lapse and mortality updates for universal life policies, offset by yield and spread updates. In 2023, Corebridge recognized a favorable impact to net income due to updates to the portfolio yield assumption and refinements to the modeling for universal life policies, partially offset by updated premium assumptions.

- Policyholder Contract Deposits and Other Policyholder Funds
POLICYHOLDER CONTRACT DEPOSITS
The liability for Policyholder contract deposits is primarily recorded at accumulated value (deposits received and net transfers from separate accounts, plus accrued interest credited, less withdrawals and assessed fees). Deposits collected on investment-oriented products are not reflected as revenues. They are recorded directly to Policyholder contract deposits upon receipt. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are included as Policy fees in revenues.
In addition to liabilities for universal life, fixed annuities, fixed options within variable annuities, annuities without life contingencies, funding agreements and GICs, policyholder contract deposits also include our liability for (i) index-linked interest credited features accounted for as embedded derivatives at fair value, (ii) annuities issued in a structured settlement arrangement with no life contingency and (iii) certain contracts we have elected to account for at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives related to policy index-linked interest credited features and the fair value of derivatives hedging these liabilities are recognized in realized gains and losses.
For additional information on index credits accounted for as embedded derivatives, see Note 4.

Funding Agreements
Under a funding agreement-backed notes issuance program, an unaffiliated, non-consolidated statutory trust issues medium-term notes to investors, which are secured by funding agreements issued to the trust by one of our companies through our Institutional Markets segment.
USL is a member of the FHLB of New York, while VALIC and AGL are members of the FHLB of Dallas. Membership with both FHLBs provides us with collateralized borrowing opportunities, primarily as an additional source of liquidity or for other uses deemed appropriate by management, e.g., earning a spread on deposits. Our ownership in the FHLB stock is reported in Other invested assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Pursuant to the membership terms, we elected to pledge such stock to the FHLB as collateral for our obligations under agreements with the FHLB.
Our net borrowing capacity under such facilities with FHLB of Dallas and FHLB of New York as of December 31, 2025 is $5.1 billion. As of December 31, 2025, we pledged $11.9 billion as collateral to the FHLB, including assets backing funding agreements.
Corebridge issued the following funding agreements to the FHLB of Dallas and FHLB of New York; these obligations are reported in Policyholder contract deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS
Other policyholder funds include unearned revenue reserve (“URR”), consisting of front-end loads on investment-oriented contracts, representing those policy loads that are non-level and typically higher in initial policy years than in later policy years. Amortization of URR is recorded in Policy fees.
URR for investment-oriented contracts are generally deferred and amortized into income using the same assumptions and factors used to amortize DAC (i.e., on a constant level basis). Changes in future assumptions are applied by adjusting the amortization rate prospectively. The Company has elected to implicitly account for actual experience, whether favorable or unfavorable, in its amortization of URR (i.e., policy fees) each period.
Other policyholder funds also include provisions for future dividends to participating policyholders, accrued in accordance with all applicable regulatory or contractual provisions. Participating life business represented approximately 0.4% and 0.4% of gross insurance in force at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively and 1.1%, 1.0% and 0.9%of gross premiums and other considerations in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The amount of annual dividends to be paid is approved locally by the Corebridge Boards of Directors. Provisions for future dividend payments are computed by jurisdiction, reflecting local regulations. The portions of current and prior net income and of current unrealized appreciation of investments that can inure to our benefit are restricted in some cases by the insurance contracts and by the local insurance regulations of the jurisdictions in which the policies are in force.
Certain products are subject to experience adjustments. These include group life and group medical products, credit life contracts, accident and health insurance contracts/riders attached to life policies and, to a limited extent, reinsurance agreements with other direct insurers. Ultimate premiums from these contracts are estimated and recognized as revenue with the unearned portions of the premiums recorded as liabilities in Other policyholder funds. Experience adjustments vary according to the type of contract and the territory in which the policy is in force and are subject to local regulatory guidance.

- Market Risk Benefits
MRBs are defined as contracts or contract features that both provide protection to the policyholder and expose the insurance entity to other-than-nominal capital market risk. The MRB represents an amount that a policyholder receives in addition to the account balance upon the occurrence of a specific event or circumstance, such as death, annuitization, or periodic withdrawal that involves protection from other-than-nominal capital market risk. Certain contract features, such as GMWBs, GMDBs and guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIBs”) commonly found in variable annuities, fixed index annuities and fixed annuities, are MRBs. MRBs are assessed at contract inception using a non-option method involving attributed fees that results in an initial fair value of zero or an option method that results in a fair value greater than zero.
MRBs are recorded at fair value, and Corebridge applies a non-option attributed fee valuation method for variable annuity products, and an option-based valuation method (host offset) for fixed index and fixed products. Under the non-option valuation method, the attributed fee is determined at contract inception; it cannot exceed the total contract fees and assessments collectible from the contract holder and cannot be less than zero. Investment margin is excluded from the attributed fee determination. Under the option-based valuation method, an offset to the host amount related to the MRB amount is established at inception. Changes in the fair value of MRBsare recorded in net income in Changes in the fair value of market risk benefits, net except for the portion of the fair value change attributable to our own credit risk, which is recognized in OCI. The change in the fair value of ceded MRBs, including the changes in counterparty credit risk, is recorded in net income in Changes in the fair value of market risk benefits, while the changes in our own credit risk, is recorded in OCI. MRBs are derecognized when the underlying contract is surrendered, a GMDB is incurred, a GMIB is annuitized, or when the account value is exhausted on a policy with a GMWB. Generally when a policyholder elects to annuitize a GMIB rider or the account value on a policy with a GMWB rider is reduced to zero, the policy is converted to a payout annuity automatically. When a conversion occurs, the policyholder is issued a new payout annuity contract. At this point, the MRB is derecognized, and a LFPB is established for the payout annuity.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 217
Assumptions used to determine the MRB asset (including ceded MRBs) or liability generally include mortality rates that are based upon actual experience modified to allow for variations in policy form; lapse rates that are based upon actual experience modified to allow for variations in policy features; and investment returns, based on stochastically generated scenarios. We evaluate at least annually estimates used to determine the MRB asset or liability and adjust the balance, with a related charge or credit to Change in fair value of market risk benefits, net, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised. In addition, MRBs are valued such that the current provision for nonperformance risk is reflected in the claims cash flows of the asset or liability valuation for direct MRBs. The nonperformance risk spread at contract issue is locked-in. The difference between the MRB (and ceded MRB) valued using our own at issue and current nonperformance risk spread is reported through Other comprehensive income, while changes in the counterparty credit risk related to ceded MRBs are reported in income.
Changes in the fair value of Market Risk Benefits, net represents changes in the fair value of market risk benefit liabilities and assets (with the exception of our own credit risk changes), and includes attributed rider fees and benefits, net of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and fixed maturity securities that are used to economically hedge market risk from the variable annuity GMWB riders.

Actuarial Assumption Updates for Market Risk Benefits
For 2025, Corebridge recognized an unfavorable impact to net income primarily due to utilization updates for fixed annuities with living benefits and certain model refinements in Individual Retirement and Group Retirement. For 2024, Corebridge recognized an unfavorable impact to net income due to policyholder assumptions, including mortality and partial withdrawal updates, partially offset by economic assumptions. For 2023, Corebridge recognized a favorable impact to net income due to policyholder behavior assumptions.
Annuity Guarantees
Annuity contracts may include certain contractually guaranteed benefits to the contract holder. These guaranteed features include GMDBs that are payable in the event of death and living benefits that are payable when partial withdrawals exhaust a policy’s account value, in the event of annuitization, or, in other instances, at specified dates during the accumulation period. Living benefits primarily include GMWBs. A variable annuity contract may include more than one type of guaranteed benefit feature; for example, it may have both a GMDB and a GMWB. However, a policyholder can only receive payout from one guaranteed feature on a contract containing a death benefit and a living benefit, i.e., the features are mutually exclusive (except a surviving spouse who has a rider to potentially collect both a GMDB upon their spouse’s death and a GMWB during their lifetime). A policyholder cannot purchase more than one living benefit on one contract. The net amount at risk for each feature is calculated irrespective of the existence of other features; as a result, the net amount at risk for each feature is not additive to that of other features.
Guaranteed Benefits on Variable Annuities
The GMDB feature may provide a death benefit of either (a) total deposits made to the contract, less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return (and in rare instances, no minimum return), (b) return of premium whereby the benefit is the greater of the current account value or premiums paid less any partial withdrawals, (c) rollups whereby the benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals) accumulated at contractually specified rates up to specified ages, or (d) the highest contract value attained, typically on any anniversary date less any subsequent withdrawals following the contract anniversary.
Certain of our variable annuity contracts contain GMDB features and may also contain living benefit riders, which include optional GMWBs and, to a lesser extent, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMABs”) and GMIBs. The net amount at risk for the GMWB represents benefits in excess of the account value assuming the utilization of all benefits by the contract holders at the balance sheet date. The net amount at risk for the GMDB feature represents the amount of guaranteed benefits in excess of account value if all policyholders died. GMDB is our most widely offered benefit.
The Company issues both individual and group variable annuities which contain guaranteed benefit features, however effective August 1, 2025, AGL reinsured all of its individual variable annuities, including associated market risk benefits, with CSLR through a coinsurance and modco reinsurance agreement. Subsequently, USL reinsured 100% of its in-force individual variable annuity contracts to CSLR on January 1, 2026.
Guaranteed Benefits on Fixed Index and Fixed Annuities
Certain of our fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts, which are not offered through separate accounts, contain optional GMWBs. With a GMWB, the contract holder can monetize the excess of the guaranteed amount over the account value of the contract through a series of withdrawals that do not exceed a specific percentage per year of the guaranteed amount. Once the account value is exhausted, the contract holder will receive a series of annuity payments equal to the remaining guaranteed amount; for lifetime GMWB products, the annuity payments continue as long as the covered person(s) is living. The liability for GMWBs in fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts, which are recorded in MRBs, represents the expected value of benefits in excess of the projected account value, with the excess (excluding changes in our own credit risk) recognized at fair value through Change in the fair value of MRBs, net.
For a discussion of the fair value measurement of guaranteed benefits that are accounted for as MRBs, see Note 4.

On March 26, 2025, the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement was terminated without penalty and Corebridge Parent entered into the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement. The 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement provides for afive year total commitment of $3.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “2025 Credit Facility”). Under circumstances described in the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement, the aggregate commitments may be increased by up to $500 million, for a total commitment under the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement of $3.5 billion. Loans under the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement will mature on March 26, 2030. Under the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement, the applicable rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee were determined by reference to the credit ratings of Corebridge Parent’s senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness. Borrowings bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to loans in US Dollars, an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin or the adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus an applicable margin, (ii) with respect to loans in Euros, the adjusted European Union Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus an applicable margin, (iii) with respect to loans in Pounds Sterling, the adjusted Daily Simple Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) Rate plus an applicable margin and (iv) with respect to loans in Japanese Yen, the adjusted Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (“TIBOR”) plus an applicable margin. There are no borrowings outstanding under the 2025 Credit Facility.

- Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees
In the normal course of business, we enter into various contingent liabilities and commitments. Although we cannot currently quantify our ultimate liability for unresolved litigation and investigation matters, including those referred to below, it is possible that such liability could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period.
LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, we are subject to regulatory and government investigations and actions, and litigation and other forms of dispute resolution in a large number of proceedings pending in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Certain of these matters involve potentially significant risk of loss due to potential for significant jury awards and settlements, punitive damages or other penalties. Many of these matters are also highly complex and may seek recovery on behalf of a class or similarly large number of plaintiffs. It is therefore inherently difficult to predict the size or scope of potential future losses arising from these matters. In our insurance and reinsurance operations, litigation and arbitration concerning the scope of coverage under insurance and reinsurance contracts, and litigation and arbitration in which our subsidiaries defend or indemnify their insureds under insurance contracts, are generally considered in the establishment of our future policy benefits. Separate and apart from the foregoing matters involving insurance and reinsurance coverage, we and our respective officers and directors are subject to a variety of additional types of legal proceedings brought by holders of our securities, customers, employees and others, alleging, among other things, breach of contractual or fiduciary duties, bad faith, indemnification and violations of federal and state statutes and regulations. With respect to these other categories of matters not arising out of claims for insurance or reinsurance coverage, we establish reserves for loss contingencies when it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many instances, we are unable to determine whether a loss is probable or to reasonably estimate the amount of such a loss and, therefore, the potential future losses arising from legal proceedings may exceed the amount of liabilities that we have recorded in our financial statements covering these matters. While such potential future charges could be material, based on information currently known to management, management does not believe, other than as may be discussed below, that any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Additionally, from time to time, various regulatory and governmental agencies review our transactions and practices in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries or examinations into, among other matters, the business practices of current and former operating subsidiaries. Such investigations, inquiries or examinations could develop into administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or enforcement actions, in which remedies could include fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in our business practices, and could result in additional expenses, limitations on certain business activities and reputational damage.
Moriarty Litigation
AGL continues to defend against Moriarty v. American General Life Insurance Co. (S.D. Cal.), a putative class action involving Sections 10113.71 and 10113.72 of the California Insurance Code, which was instituted against AGL on July 18, 2017 in state court. AGL removed the matter to federal court on August 23, 2017. In general, those statutes require that for life-insurance policies issued and delivered in California: (1) the policy must contain a 60-day grace period following non-payment of premium during which the policy remains in force; (2) the insurer must provide a 30-day pre-lapse notice; and (3) the insurer must notify policy owners of the right to designate a secondary recipient for lapse notices. The plaintiff contends AGL did not comply with these requirements for a policy issued before these statutes went into effect. The plaintiff seeks damages and other relief. AGL asserts various defenses to the plaintiff’s claims and to class certification. In 2022, the District Court held that a trial was necessary to determine whether AGL was liable on the plaintiff’s breach of contract claim. Also in 2022, the District Court denied class certification and granted partial summary judgment for AGL on the plaintiff’s claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. In 2023, the case was reassigned to a new judge, who remanded the plaintiff’s claim for injunctive relief under California’s Unfair Competition Law (UCL) back to state court, and that action has been stayed ever since. The judge also granted the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment on the plaintiff’s breach of contract claim and decided that good cause existed to allow the plaintiff to file a third motion for class certification. AGL appealed the 2023 summary-judgment decision to the Ninth Circuit.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 223
While the Moriarty appeal was pending, the Ninth Circuit issued a published decision in Small v. Allianz Life Insurance Co. of North America, a related case presenting a substantially identical issue. The Ninth Circuit’s decision in Small squarely rejected the theory that the plaintiffs had advanced in that case and in Moriarty and embraced the argument, made by insurers, that any policyholder or beneficiary suing based on alleged breaches of Sections 10113.71 and 10113.72 must prove that the breaches actually caused them harm, for instance by resulting in missed payments or the lapse of the policy. On March 4, 2025 the panel in Moriarty issued a memorandum disposition without hearing oral argument, vacating the District Court’s 2023 summary-judgment order and remanding for further proceedings. The panel’s short opinion principally relies on the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Small. The Moriarty panel also denied the plaintiff’s request to certify a question to the California Supreme Court. In both Small and Moriarty, the Ninth Circuit denied the plaintiffs’ petitions for rehearing, and the U.S. Supreme Court denied the plaintiffs’ petition for a writ of certiorari on June 30, 2025. The Moriarty case thus returned to the District Court.
After returning to the District Court, the District Court entered an order on September 3, 2025, remanding the plaintiff’s claim for restitution under the UCL to state court. As a result, the plaintiff’s UCL claim is fully in state court and still subject to a stay pending resolution of the federal case. The plaintiff subsequently moved to lift the stay in state court, but the state court denied that motion on December 12, 2025. The plaintiff also moved to give notice to former putative class members of the denial of class certification; that motion was denied by the District Court on December 18, 2025.
On January 12, 2026, a jury trial began in the District Court on the plaintiff’s individual breach of contract claim. The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff on January 13, 2026, and the District Court is expected to enter a final judgment awarding the plaintiff the benefits of the policy (approximately $1 million), plus interest. AGL is evaluating its options for post-trial motions and/or another appeal to the Ninth Circuit. The plaintiff may move to lift the stay of state-court proceedings under the UCL upon the resolution of the federal case.
AGL is also defending other actions in California involving similar issues. Gevorgyan v. American General Life Insurance Co. (C.D. Cal.) was filed in state court on January 17, 2025, and removed to federal court on March 27, 2025. Delgado v. American General Life Insurance Co. (C.D. Cal.) was filed in federal court on March 7, 2025. Rocklage v. American General Life Insurance Co. (N.D. Cal.) was filed in state court on April 21, 2025, and removed to federal court on May 30, 2025. Eisenberg v. American General Life Insurance Co. (C.D. Cal.) was filed in state court on September 2, 2025, and removed to federal court on November 14, 2025. People of the State of California v. American General Life Insurance Co., et al. (Cal. Superior Court, San Diego County) was filed on October 17, 2024, against AGL, Lincoln Benefit Life Co., Everlake Life Insurance Co., and Transamerica Life Insurance Co., seeking civil penalties and equitable relief under California Business & Professions Code §§ 17200 et seq. On January 27, 2025, AGL filed a demurrer to the complaint. That demurrer was heard on July 10, 2025. The trial court sustained AGL’s demurrer as to misjoinder on August 25, 2025, but granted leave to amend. The plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on September 11, 2025, and AGL filed an answer to that pleading on October 14, 2025.
These cases are in the early stages, and AGL expects their progress will be influenced by future developments in Moriarty and cases against other insurers involving the same insurance statutes. AGL has accrued its current estimate of probable loss with respect to these litigation matters.
LEASE COMMITMENTS
We lease office space and equipment in various locations across jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The majority of the resulting obligation arising from these contracts is generated by our real estate portfolio, which only includes contracts classified as operating leases. As of December 31, 2025, the lease liability and corresponding right of use asset reflected in Other liabilities and Other assets were $80 million and $79 million, respectively, and we made cash payments of $16 million in 2025 in connection with these leases. As of December 31, 2024, the lease liability and corresponding right of use asset reflected in Other liabilities and Other assets were $80 million and $75 million, respectively, and we made cash payments of $14 million in 2024 in connection with these leases. The liability includes non-lease components, such as property taxes and insurance for our gross leases. Some of these leases contain options to renew after a specified period of time at the prevailing market rate; however, renewal options that have not been exercised as of December 31, 2025 are excluded until management attains a reasonable level of certainty. Some leases also include termination options at specified times and term; however, termination options are not reflected in the lease asset and liability balances until they have been exercised.
The weighted average discount rate and lease term assumptions used in determining the liability are 6.7% and 8.29, respectively. The primary assumption used to determine the discount rate is the cost of funding for the Company, which is based on the secured borrowing rate for terms similar to the lease term, and for the major financial markets in which Corebridge operates.
Rent expense was $22 million, $16 million and $17 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

OTHER COMMITMENTS
In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments to invest in limited partnerships, private equity funds and hedge funds and to purchase and develop real estate in the United States and abroad. These commitments totaled $4.8 billion at December 31, 2025.
GUARANTEES
Asset Dispositions
We are subject to guarantees and indemnity arrangements in connection with the completed sales of businesses. The various arrangements may be triggered by, among other things, declines in asset values; the occurrence of specified business contingencies; the realization of contingent liabilities; developments in litigation; or breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by us. These arrangements are typically subject to various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as statutes of limitations. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation is subject to contractual limitations, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or are not applicable.
We are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential payout under certain of these arrangements. Overall, we believe that it is unlikely we will have to make any material payments related to completed sales under these arrangements, and no material liabilities related to these arrangements have been recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Guarantees provided by AIG
Prior to the IPO, AIG provided certain guarantees to us as described below. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement we will indemnify, defend and hold harmless AIG against or from any liability arising from or related to these guarantees.
Certain of our insurance subsidiaries benefit from General Guarantee Agreements under which American Home Assurance Company (“AHAC”) or National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA (“NUFIC”) has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed all present and future obligations arising from certain insurance policies issued by these subsidiaries (a “Guaranteed Policy” or the “Guaranteed Policies”). AHAC and NUFIC are required to perform under the agreements if one of the insurance subsidiaries fails to make payments due under a Guaranteed Policy. These General Guarantee Agreements have all been terminated as to insurance policies issued after the date of termination. AHAC and NUFIC have not been required to perform under any of the agreements but remain contingently liable for all policyholder obligations associated with the Guaranteed Policies. We did not pay any fees under these agreements for the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.
AIG provides a full and unconditional guarantee of all outstanding notes and junior subordinated debentures of CRBGLH. This includes:
a guarantee (the “CRBGLH External Debt Guarantee”) in connection with CRBGLH junior subordinated debentures and certain CRBGLH notes (the “CRBGLH External Debt”).
In addition to the Separation Agreement, we have entered into a guarantee reimbursement agreement with AIG which provides that we will reimburse AIG for the full amount of any payment made by or on behalf of AIG pursuant to the CRBGLH External Debt Guarantee. We have also entered into a collateral agreement with AIG which provides that in the event of: (i) a ratings downgrade of Corebridge Parent or CRBGLH long-term unsecured indebtedness below specified levels or (ii) the failure by CRBGLH to pay principal and interest on the External Debt when due, we must collateralize an amount equal to the sum of: (a)100% of the principal amount outstanding, (b) accrued and unpaid interest and (c)100% of the net present value of scheduled interest payments through the maturity dates of the CRBGLH External Debt.

PREFERRED STOCK
Issuance of Corebridge Preferred Stock
On November 18, 2025, Corebridge Parent issued 500,000 shares of its 6.875% Fixed Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), $1.00 par value per share, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for aggregate net cash proceeds of $493 million ($500 million gross). The preferred stock ranks senior to Corebridge common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and liquidation. Corebridge will pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock on a noncumulative basis only when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee of the Board) and will be payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on June 1, 2026. Dividends will accrue on a noncumulative basis at a fixed rate per annum of 6.875% and from, and including, December 1, 2030, during each reset period at a rate per annum equal to the five-year treasury rate plus 3.181%. In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock we incurred $7 million of issuance costs, which has been recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at Corebridge’s option, in whole or in part, on any dividend payment date on or after December 1, 2030, at a redemption price of $1,000 per share plus declared and unpaid dividends.

Certain of our share repurchases have been and may from time to time be effected through the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plans. On May 4, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, which has subsequently been expanded. Most recently, on June 23, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $2.0 billion increase in the share repurchase amount under the share repurchase program. Under this program, Corebridge Parent may, from time to time, purchase shares of Corebridge Parent common stock but is not obligated to purchase any particular number of shares. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors at any time.

NON-REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
The activity in non-redeemable noncontrolling interest primarily relates to activities with consolidated investment entities.
The changes in non-redeemable noncontrolling interest due to divestitures and acquisitions primarily relate to the formation and funding of new consolidated investment entities. The majority of the funding for these consolidated investment entities comes from affiliated companies of Corebridge.
The changes in non-redeemable noncontrolling interest due to contributions from noncontrolling interests primarily relate to the additional capital calls related to consolidated investment entities.
The changes in non-redeemable noncontrolling interest due to distributions to noncontrolling interests primarily relate to dividends or other distributions related to consolidated investment entities.

- Earnings Per Common Share
The basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) computation is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted to reflect all stock splits. The diluted EPS computation is based on those shares used in the basic EPS computation plus common shares that would have been outstanding assuming issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding and adjusted to reflect all stock splits, using the treasury stock method.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

| Common stock - diluted | $(0.68) | $3.72 | $1.71 |
*Potential dilutive common shares include our share-based employee compensation plans. The number of common shares excluded from dilutive shares outstanding was approximately 1.9 million,0.2 million and 0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, because the effect of including those common shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

(1) These amounts reflect our best estimate of the statutory net income, capital and surplus as of the dates these financial statements were issued.
(2) CRBG Bermuda is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGC Life, a Missouri-domiciled insurance holding company, and as such its capital and surplus is included in our Domestic results.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 231
Our insurance subsidiaries file financial statements prepared in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by domestic and foreign insurance regulatory authorities. The principal differences between statutory financial statements and financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP for domestic companies are that statutory financial statements do not reflect DAC, most bond portfolios may be carried at amortized cost, investment impairments are determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices, assets and liabilities are presented net of reinsurance, policyholder liabilities are generally valued using more conservative assumptions and certain assets are non-admitted.
For domestic insurance subsidiaries, aggregate minimum required statutory capital and surplus is based on the greater of the Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) level that would trigger regulatory action or minimum requirements per state insurance regulation. Capital and surplus requirements of our foreign subsidiaries differ from those prescribed in the United States and can vary significantly by jurisdiction. At both December 31, 2025 and 2024, all domestic and foreign insurance subsidiaries individually exceeded the minimum required statutory capital and surplus requirements and all domestic insurance subsidiaries individually exceeded RBC minimum required levels.
For foreign insurance companies, financial statements are prepared in accordance with local regulatory requirements. These accounting practices may differ from GAAP primarily by different rules on deferral of policy acquisition costs, amortization of deferred acquisition costs, and establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, as well as valuing for deferred taxes on a different basis. At December 31, 2025, our sole remaining foreign insurance company CRBG Bermuda, files its statutory financial statements on a GAAP basis, subject to certain prudential filters.
STATUTORY PERMITTED ACCOUNTING PRACTICE
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, AGL used the following permitted practice that resulted in reported statutory surplus or risk-based capital that is significantly different from the statutory surplus or risk based capital that would have been reported had National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) statutory accounting practices or the prescribed regulatory accounting practices of their respective state regulator been followed in all respects:
AGL, a life insurance subsidiary domiciled in Texas, recognized an admitted asset related to the notional value of coverage defined in an excess of loss (“XOL”) reinsurance agreement with a 20-year term that provides coverage to AGL for aggregate claims incurred during the agreement term associated with guaranteed living benefits on certain fixed index annuities generally issued prior to April 2019 (“Block 1”) exceeding an attachment point as defined in the agreement. This permitted practice was expanded to similarly recognize an additional admitted asset related to the net notional value of coverage as defined in a separate XOL reinsurance agreement with a 25-year term that provides coverage to the subsidiary for aggregate XOL claims associated with guaranteed living benefits on a block of fixed index annuities generally issued in April 2019 or later, including certain new business issued after the effective date (“Block 2”).
Effective September 30, 2023, the permitted practice for Block 1 and Block 2 was extended through September 30, 2026 and the maximum notional value of Block 2 was increased for certain new business. Effective December 31, 2024, the permitted practice related to Block 2 was amended to determine the XOL limit based on annual standalone cash flow testing (“CFT”) for business retained, net of reinsurance, where the XOL cap is defined as 90% of the CFT margin performed at each year-end. For new business issued after December 31, 2024, the XOL limit will be increased each quarter based on a specified calculation. At the end of the calendar year, the new business retained will be included with the business from prior years in the determination of the XOL limit based on 90% of the CFT margin performed at year-end. The amended permitted practice for Block 2 will remain in effect through September 30, 2026.
This permitted practice was expanded to similarly recognize an additional admitted asset related to the net notional value of coverage as defined in a separate XOL agreement with a 25-year term that provides coverage to the subsidiary for aggregate XOL claims associated with the base contract along with the guaranteed living benefits rider on a block of fixed annuities inforce on the treaty effective date, including certain new business issued after the effective date (“Block 3”). Effective September 30, 2023, the permitted practice for Block 3 was extended through September 30, 2026 and the maximum notional value was increased for certain new business. Effective December 31, 2024, the permitted practice related to Block 3 was amended to determine the XOL limit based on annual standalone CFT for business retained, net of reinsurance, where the XOL cap is defined as 90% of the CFT margin performed at each year-end. For new business issued after December 31, 2024, the XOL limit will be increased each quarter based on a specified calculation. At the end of the calendar year, the new business retained will be included with the business from prior years in the determination of the XOL limit based on 90% of the CFT margin performed at year-end. The amended permitted practice for Block 3 will remain in effect through September 30, 2026.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 232
Effective July 1, 2025, AGL recognized an admitted asset related to the notional value of coverage defined in an XOL reinsurance agreement that provides coverage to AGL for aggregate claims incurred during the agreement term associated with guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits on certain fixed index annuities generally issued prior to January 2017 (“Block 4”) exceeding an attachment point as defined in the agreement. The XOL for Block 4 is limited to the annual standalone CFT for business retained, net of reinsurance, where the XOL cap is defined as 90% of the CFT margin performed at each year-end. For new business issued after December 31, 2025, the XOL limit will be increased each quarter based on a specified calculation. At the end of the calendar year, the new business retained will be included with the business from prior years in the determination of the XOL limit based on 90% of the CFT margin performed at year-end. The permitted practice for Block 4 will remain in effect through September 30, 2029.
The permitted practice resulted in an increase in the statutory surplus of AGL of appr oximately $2.6 billion and $2.1 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
SUBSIDIARY DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
Payments of dividends to us by our insurance subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions imposed by laws and regulations of their respective domiciliary jurisdictions.
With respect to our domestic insurance subsidiaries, the payment of any dividend requires formal notice to the insurance department in which the particular insurance subsidiary is domiciled. Additionally, prior approval from such insurance regulator is required when the amount of the dividend is above certain regulatory thresholds.
For example, under the insurance law of the State of Texas, where two of our four domestic insurance subsidiaries are incorporated, our Texas-domiciled insurance companies (AGL and VALIC) are each permitted, without prior insurance regulatory approval, to pay a dividend to its shareholder as long as the amount of the dividend when aggregated with all other dividends made in the preceding 12 months does not exceed the greater of: (i) 10% of its policyholder surplus as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year (excluding realized gains), not including pro rata distributions of such insurance company’s own securities. AGL and VALIC, as the case may be, will be permitted to pay a dividend to its shareholder in excess of the greater of such two amounts (i.e., an extraordinary dividend) only if it files notice of the declaration of such an extraordinary dividend and the amount thereof with the Texas Commissioner of Insurance and the Texas Commissioner either approves the distribution of the extraordinary dividend or does not disapprove the distribution within 30 days of its filing. In addition, any dividend that exceeds earned surplus (generally defined as “unassigned funds (surplus)”) calculated as of the most recent financial information available requires insurance regulatory approval. Under the Texas insurance law, the Texas Commissioner has broad discretion in determining whether the financial condition of a stock life insurance company would support the payment of such dividends to its shareholder(s). Substantially similar provisions exist under Missouri law governing payment of dividends by our Missouri-domiciled insurance holding company (AGC Life), and more restrictive provisions exist under New York insurance laws governing payment of dividends by our New York-domiciled insurance company (USL). As our operating insurance subsidiaries (AGL, VALIC and USL) are wholly-owned by AGC Life, all dividends from these subsidiaries must be distributed through AGC Life to us and are, thus, subject to notice and/or prior approval or non-disapproval of the Missouri Department of Insurance.
The maximum amount, before considering the dividend tests discussed below, that would qualify as an ordinary dividend, which would consequently be free from restriction and available for payment of dividends to AGC Life (as immediate parent company), by AGL, VALIC and USL in 2026, based upon financial information as of December 31, 2025, is estimated to be $2.0 billion. Specific to AGC Life, the maximum amount that would qualify as an ordinary dividend, which would consequently be free from restriction and available for payment of dividends to Corebridge in 2026, based upon financial information as of December 31, 2025 is estimated to be $3.8 billion, subject to availability of earned surplus as required under Missouri insurance law. The estimated ordinary dividend capacities of our insurance companies in Texas and Missouri are further limited by the fact that dividend tests under Texas and Missouri insurance laws are based on dividends previously paid over rolling twelve-month periods. Consequently, depending on the actual payment dates during 2026, some or all of the dividends estimated to be ordinary in 2026 may require regulatory approval or non-disapproval.
Similar to our domestic insurance companies, CRBG Bermuda’s ability to pay dividends to us is also subject to regulatory requirements imposed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority in Bermuda, the jurisdiction in which it is domiciled. Pursuant to the Bermuda Insurance Act and Bermuda Companies Act 1981, CRBG Bermuda must not declare any dividends that would cause it to become insolvent or would exceed 25% of its total statutory capital and surplus (as set out in its statutory balance sheet in relation to the previous financial year) unless prior to the payment of such dividends, it files an affidavit with the BMA which states that the declaration of such dividends has not caused CRBG Bermuda to fail to meet its solvency margins. Additionally, CRBG Bermuda must apply to the BMA for approval before reducing its total statutory capital (as set out in its previous year’s financial statements) by 15%.
To our knowledge, no Corebridge insurance company is currently on any regulatory or similar “watch list” with regard to solvency.
COREBRIDGE DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
At December 31, 2025, Corebridge’s ability to pay dividends is not subject to any significant contractual restrictions but remains subject to customary regulatory restrictions.

- Share-Based Compensation Plans
AIG Equity Awards
Prior to the IPO, certain of our employees received grants of equity awards under the AIG Long Term Incentive Plan (as amended) and its predecessor plan, the AIG 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan (each as applicable, the “LTIP”), which are governed by the AIG 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”).
On June 10, 2024, AIG Parent announced that it had met the requirements for the deconsolidation for accounting purposes of Corebridge. In conjunction with the deconsolidation all unvested AIG restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) held by our employees immediately vested under the terms of the AIG LTIP. Additionally, all unvested AIG stock options granted to our employees were converted to Corebridge stock options and retained the same vesting and expiration provisions of the original AIG stock options.
Corebridge Equity Awards
The Company’s employees participated in several stock compensation programs under the Corebridge Financial, Inc. Long-term Incentive Plan (each as applicable, the “LTIP”), which are governed by the Corebridge Financial, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated on February 16, 2023, (the “2022 Plan”, together with the LTIP, the “Corebridge Plans”). Equity awards may be granted under the Corebridge Plans to current employees or directors of the Company or, solely with respect to their final year of service, former employees.
Equity awards under the Corebridge Plans are linked to Corebridge Parent’s common stock (“CRBG Stock”). A total of 40,000,000 shares of CRBG Stock are authorized for delivery pursuant to awards granted or assumed under the Plans. Delivered shares may be newly-issued shares or shares held in treasury.
Corebridge’s LTIP provides for an annual award to certain employees, including our senior executive officers and other highly compensated employees, that may comprise a combination of one or more of the following units: PSUs, RSUs, or stock options. The number of PSUs issued on the grant date (the target) provides the opportunity for LTIP participants (usually senior management) to receive shares of CRBG Stock based on Corebridge achieving specified performance goals at the end of athree-year performance period. The actual number of PSUs earned can vary from zero to 200 percent of target for the 2025 LTI awards, depending on the Company’s meeting cumulative relative shareholder return targets and/or adjusted return on average equity (“ Adjusted ROAE”) targets, as applicable. RSUs and stock options are earned based solely on continued service by the participant and vesting occurs in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.
Recipients must be employed at each vesting date to be entitled to share delivery, except upon the occurrence of an accelerated vesting event, such as an involuntary termination without cause, disability, retirement eligibility or death during the vesting period. Dividends on PSUs and RSUs accrue in cash and vest over thethree year service period.
The following table presents our total direct share-based compensation expense which is settled as part of our quarterly intercompany process. This table reflects both AIG and Corebridge equity awards:
| Years Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Share-based compensation expense - pre-tax(a) | $67 | $58 | $60 |
| Share-based compensation expense - after tax(b) | $53 | $45 | $48 |
(a) As a result of accelerated vesting events, such as retirement eligibility in the year of grant and involuntary terminations, we recognized $28 million, $25 million and $24 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, prior to the end of the specified vesting periods. It is our policy to reverse compensation expense for forfeited awards when they occur.
(b) The income tax expense (benefit), excluding foreign jurisdictions, was computed using the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21%.
Unit Valuation
The grant date fair value of RSUs, as well as PSUs that are earned based on meeting Adjusted ROAE targets, was based on the closing price of CRBG Stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value of PSUs earned based on Corebridge’s relative shareholder return was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. The grant date fair value is calculated assuming dividends distributed during the performance period are reinvested on the ex‑dividend date in CRBG stock.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 234
The following weighted-average assumptions were used for PSUs granted:
| 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility (a) | 29.97% |
| Risk-free interest rate (b) | 4.02% |
(a) We used the historical volatility for CRBG and the members of the Peer Group, commensurate with the remaining Performance Period as of the valuation date.
(b) We converted the semi-annual zero-coupon U.S. Treasury rates as of the valuation date to continuously compounded rates. The risk-free interest rate is the continuously compounded interest rate for the period commensurate with the length of the remaining performance period as of the valuation dates.

At December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation cost for outstanding RSUs and PSUs was $53 million, the weighted-average period of years over which that cost is expected to be recognized is 1 year for RSUs and 1.13 years for PSUs.
Stock Options
Stock options were granted to certain Corebridge employees beginning with the 2023 LTIP. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the company’s stock on the grant date and are exercisable up to 10 years from the date of grant, or 3 years from the date of an involuntary termination or the option's expiration date, if earlier. The fair value of the time-vesting options was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model using the assumptions noted in the following table.
The following weighted-average assumptions were used for stock options granted:
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Expected annual dividend yield (a) | 2.97% | 3.55% |
| Expected volatility (b) | 29.55% | 23.64% |
| Risk-free interest rate (c) | 4.19% | 4.20% |
| Expected term (d) | 6.00 years | 6.00 years |
(a) The dividend yield is the last CRBG dividend from Bloomberg times 4 divided by the stock price.
(b) The expected volatility is based on the implied volatility of 24 months stock option estimated by the Bloomberg Professional service as of the valuation date.
(c) The risk-free interest rate is the continuously compounded interest rate for the term between the valuation date and the expiration date that is assumed to be constant and equal to the interpolated value between the closest data points on the U.S. Treasury curve as of the valuation date.
(d) The contractual term is 10 years from the date of grant.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during 2025 and 2024 was $6.60 and $5.46, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we recognized $5.4 million of expense, while $5.3 million was unrecognized and is expected to be amortized up to 1.25 years.
Non-Employee Plan
Our non-employee directors, who serve on our Board of Directors, receive share-based compensation in the form of fully vested deferred stock units (“DSUs”) with delivery deferred until retirement from the Board. DSUs accrue dividend equivalents from the award grant date until the shares are delivered, and are paid in cash upon issuance. In 2025 and 2024 we granted to non-employee directors 39,717 and 29,557 DSUs, respectively, and recognized expense of $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
- Employee Benefits
PENSION PLANS
Certain employees and retirees participate in U.S. defined benefit pension plans sponsored by AIG that include participants from other affiliates of AIG (the “Pension Plans”). These plans are closed to new participants and current participants no longer earn benefits (i.e., the plans are frozen). As sponsor of these plans, AIG is ultimately responsible for maintenance of these plans in compliance with applicable laws.
Following the IPO, we have ceased to be a participating affiliate in, and do not have any liability with respect to, the Pension Plans. Prior to the IPO, we accounted for the Pension Plans as multiemployer benefit plans. Accordingly, we did not record an asset or liability to recognize the funded status of the Pension Plans. We recognized a liability only for any required contributions to the Pension Plans that were accrued and unpaid at the balance sheet date. The Company’s allocated share of AIG’s net pension credits recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) was $0 million, $0 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In addition, certain employees in Ireland participate in a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Company (the “Irish Plan”), registered with the Irish Pensions Board under the Pensions Act of 1990 in Ireland. The Irish Plan does not include participants from other affiliates of AIG and was closed to new participants after December 2005, and to future service accrual for active members after July 2017. Members with benefits under the Irish Plan are not required to contribute to it. Effective with the sale of Laya on October 31, 2023, Corebridge no longer has any obligations or liability with respect to the Irish Plan.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 236
POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
Prior to August 22, 2022, AIG provided postemployment medical and life benefits for certain retired employees (the “Benefits”). Since August 22, 2022, the Benefits are provided by Corebridge Parent with certain limited exceptions. The Company’s postretirement benefit expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) was$2 million, $(2) million and $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively. The related projected benefit obligation recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets was$31 million and $31 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Benefits are based upon the employee attaining the age of 55 and having a minimum often years of service, which was reduced to 5 years in 2019 for medical coverage only. Eligible employees who have medical coverage can enroll in retiree medical upon termination of employment. Medical benefits are contributory, while the life insurance benefits, which are closed to new employees, are generally non-contributory. The amount contributed for retiree medical benefits is based on the actual premium amount, which for some retirees may be reduced by certain subsidies. These retiree contributions are subject to annual adjustments. Other cost sharing features of the medical plan include deductibles, coinsurance, Medicare coordination, and an employer subsidy for grandfathered employees only.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
Prior to August 22, 2022, employees participated in AIG’s qualified defined contribution plan that provided for contributions by employees, as well as an employer contribution. On August 22, 2022, participants’ accounts in the AIG plan were transferred to the Corebridge Financial Inc. Retirement Savings 401(k) Plan. The Company’s contributions relating to these plans were $70 million, $70 million and $68 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In addition, the Company sponsors defined contribution plans for certain non-U.S. employees which also provide for contributions by employees, as well as an employer contribution. The Company’s contributions relating to these plans were $1 million, $2 million and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
- Income Taxes
RECENT TAX LAW CHANGES
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376), (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) includes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on adjusted financial statement income for corporations with average profits over $1 billion over a three-year period and a 1% stock buyback tax. In 2024, the U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) published proposed regulations with respect to the CAMT. On September 30, 2025, the IRS issued Notice 2025-46 and Notice 2025-49 which provide favorable interim guidance on tax consolidations. These Notices provide an option to calculate our CAMT liability based on the consolidated tax group while we’re subject to the waiting period discussed below, as well as certain other matters that do not have a significant impact on Corebridge. Our estimated CAMT liability will continue to be refined based on future guidance.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) (“OBBB”) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The tax provisions of the OBBB are not expected to have a material impact on Corebridge’s financial results.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Prior to the IPO, Corebridge Parent and certain U.S. subsidiaries were included in the consolidated federal income tax return of AIG as well as certain state tax returns where AIG files on a combined or unitary basis. Following the IPO, AIG owned less than 80% interest in Corebridge, resulting in tax deconsolidation of Corebridge from the AIG Consolidated Tax Group. Under the tax law, AGC and its directly owned life insurance subsidiaries (the “AGC Group”) will not be permitted to join in the filing of a U.S. consolidated federal income tax return with our other subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Life Group”) for the five-year waiting period. Instead, the AGC Group is expected to file separately as members of the AGC Group consolidated U.S. federal income tax return during the five-year waiting period. Following the five-year waiting period, the AGC Group is expected to join the U.S. consolidated federal income tax return with the Non-Life Group for the 2028 tax year.
Under the U.S. tax rules, tax attribute carryforwards at the time of tax deconsolidation remain with the relevant Corebridge entities and will be available for utilization by the respective Corebridge U.S. federal tax filing groups following tax deconsolidation from AIG. Our tax attribute carryforwards will continue to be adjusted based on changes to prior year tax returns in which Corebridge entities were included as part of the AIG consolidated federal income tax return.
We calculate our provision for income taxes using the asset and liability method. This method considers the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities measured using currently enacted tax rates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

RECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN TAX EFFECTS FROM AOCI
We use an item-by-item approach to release the stranded or disproportionate income tax effects in AOCI related to our available-for-sale securities. Under this approach, a portion of the disproportionate tax effects is assigned to each individual security lot at the date the amount becomes lodged. When the individual securities are sold, mature or are otherwise impaired on an other-than-temporary basis, the assigned portion of the disproportionate tax effect is reclassified from AOCI to income (loss) from operations.

- State taxes in Illinois, Florida, and Mississippi made up the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the tax effect in this category.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, there was a tax benefit on loss from operations, resulting in an effective tax rate on loss from operations of 27.9%. The effective tax rate on loss from operations differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits of $43 million dividends received deduction, $29 million of reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income to income from operations related to the disposal of available-for-sale securities, $35 million of tax credits, $14 million primarily associated with adjustments to prior year tax returns, including interest and $9 million related to state and local income taxes. These tax benefits were partially offset by tax charges of $88 million associated with the establishment of U.S. federal valuation allowance related to certain tax attribute carryforwards.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was a tax expense on income from operations, resulting in an effective tax rate on income from operations of 21.4%. The effective tax rate on income from operations differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to tax charges of $92 million associated with the establishment of U.S. federal valuation allowance related to certain tax attribute carryforwards, and $14 million related to state and local income taxes. These tax charges were partially offset by tax benefits of $48 million dividends received deduction, $31 million of reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income to income from operations related to the disposal of available-for-sale securities,$19 million of tax credits, and $17 million primarily associated with the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions related to audit activity by the IRS.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, there was a tax benefit on income from operations, resulting in an effective tax rate on income from operations of (10.2)%. The effective tax rate on income from operations differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits of $95 million of associated with the establishment of outside basis as a result of the held-for-sale designation of Laya and AIG Life, $56 million associated with tax adjustments related to prior year returns, $59 million dividends received deduction, $50 million reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income to income from operations related to the disposal of available-for-sale securities, $40 million adjustments to deferred tax assets, and $11 million of tax credits. These tax benefits were partially offset by tax charges of $14 million as a result of noncontrolling interest, $10 million related to state and local income taxes, and $11 million additional valuation allowance establishment.

We have net operating loss carryforwards of $134 million, tax effected, for certain state and local jurisdictions.
A valuation allowance has been recorded on net operating loss carryforwards of the Non-Life Group and a portion of our realized capital loss carryforwards, as discussed below.
ASSESSMENT OF DEFERRED TAX ASSET VALUATION ALLOWANCE
The evaluation of the recoverability of our deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires us to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.
Recent events, including multiple changes in target interest rates by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and significant market volatility, impacted actual and projected results of our business operations as well as our views on potential effectiveness of certain prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In order to demonstrate the predictability and sufficiency of future taxable income necessary to support the realizability of the net operating losses and capital loss carryforwards, we have considered forecasts of future income for each of our businesses, including assumptions about future macroeconomic and Corebridge-specific conditions and events, and any impact these conditions and events may have on our prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
Corebridge | 2025 Form 10-K 240
Estimates of future taxable income, including income generated from prudent and feasible actions and tax planning strategies, impact of settlements with taxing authorities, and any changes to interpretations and assumptions related to the impact of recent tax law changes, could change in the near term, perhaps materially, which may require us to consider any potential impact to our assessment of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset. Such potential impact could be material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations for an individual reporting period. As discussed above, during the five-year waiting period following the IPO, the AGC Group will file separately from the Non-Life Group as members of the AGC consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Each separate U.S. federal tax filing group or separate U.S. tax filer is required to consider this five-year waiting period when assessing realization of their respective deferred tax assets including net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Our separation from AIG resulted in an “ownership change” for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 382 of the Code. As a result of the ownership change, a limitation has been imposed upon the utilization of our U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and certain built-in losses and deductions to offset future taxable income. Based on our updated valuation, our utilization is limited to approximately $847 million per year. These limitation amounts accumulate for future use to the extent they are not utilized in a given year during the five-year period following the ownership change. We consider the limitation when assessing realization of our deferred tax assets, and if we believe that deferred tax assets consisting of the pre-ownership change net operating losses and other built-in losses and deductions are no longer more-likely-than-not to be realized, a valuation allowance will be provided. As a result of the Sec. 382 limitation, we wrote off $4 million of net operating losses which were deemed worthless in 2025, on which a valuation allowance had been previously established.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, recent changes in market conditions, including changes in interest rates, impacted the unrealized tax capital gains and losses in the U.S. Life insurance companies’ available-for-sale securities portfolio, resulting in a deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset relates to the unrealized capital losses for which the carryforward period has not yet begun, and as such, when assessing its recoverability, we consider our ability and intent to hold the underlying pool of securities to recovery. As of December 31, 2025, based on all available evidence, we concluded that a valuation allowance should be established on a portion of the deferred tax asset related to unrealized capital losses that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded an increase in valuation allowance of $11 million related to net operating loss carryforwards and other ordinary deferred tax assets and net (decrease) of $(83) million related to investment losses, of which $72 million was recorded through the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and $(155) million was recorded in OCI. As of December 31, 2025, we have a U.S. federal valuation allowance of $1.3 billion, of which $160 million is related to net operating loss carryforwards and other ordinary deferred tax assets and $1.2 billion ($1.0 billion reflected in AOCI) is related to realized and unrealized capital losses.
TAX EXAMINATIONS AND LITIGATION
Corebridge Parent and certain U.S. subsidiaries are included in a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with AIG through the date of IPO (short-period tax year 2022), and income tax expense is recorded, based on applicable U.S. and foreign laws.
The AIG Consolidated Tax Group is currently under IRS examination for the tax years 2011 through 2019 and is continuing to engage in the appeals process for years 2007 through 2010.
We are periodically advised of certain IRS and other adjustments identified in AIG's consolidated tax return which are attributable to our operations. Under our tax sharing arrangement, we provide a charge or credit for the effect of the adjustments and the related interest in the period we are advised of such adjustments and interest.

At December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, Corebridge subsidiaries had unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, which were $3 million, $3 million and $20 million, respectively, all of which would favorably affect the effective tax rate if recognized.
Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense. At December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 we hadno accrued liabilities for the payment of interest and penalties. There wasno interest activity related to unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.
