Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note A —Basis of Financial Statements

The financial information in this report presented for interim periods is unaudited and includes the accounts of F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. (“FGAL”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company" or “F&G”) prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on February 29, 2024.

Description of the Business

F&G is a majority-owned subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FNF) (“FNF”). We provide insurance solutions and market a broad portfolio of annuity and life insurance products through retail channels and institutional markets. F&G hasone reporting segment, which is consistent with and reflects the manner by which our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) views and manages the business. For certain disclosures within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have elected to aggregate business based on the applicable product type, the manner in which information is regularly reviewed by management and the nature of disclosures that exist outside the Company’s GAAP financial statements.

Retail distribution channels products include:

Deferred annuities including fixed indexed annuities (“FIA”), registered index-linked annuities (“RILA”), (together referred to as “indexed annuities”) and fixed rate annuities including multi-year guarantee annuities (“MYGA”),

Immediate annuities, and

Indexed universal life (“IUL”) insurance.

Institutional markets products include:

Pension risk transfer (“PRT”) solutions, and

Funding agreements, including funding agreement backed notes (“FABN”) and Federal Home Loan Bank funding agreements (“FHLB”).

Recent Developments

Owned Distribution Investments

On January 2, 2024, F&G acquired a 70% majority ownership stake in the equity of Roar Joint Venture, LLC (“Roar”) resulting in the consolidation of Roar in F&G’s financial statements. Roar wholesales life insurance and annuity products to banks and broker dealers through a network of agents. Total initial consideration is comprised of cash of approximately $269 million and $48 million of contingent consideration. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company has agreed to make cash payments of up to approximately $90 million over athree-year period upon the achievement by Roar of certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) milestones.

Owned distribution revenues generated from commissions earned on contracts with insurance carriers are considered variable consideration. Revenue is recognized at the effective date of each policy sold under a contract and reported net of related expenses within Owned Distribution Revenues on the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and consists of revenue primarily from annuity products.

Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. For more information regarding the Roar acquisition, refer to Note P -Acquisition.

The contingent consideration is recorded at fair value in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded in Other operating expenses in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, on July 18, 2024 F&G acquired a 100% majority ownership stake in the equity of PALH, LLC (“PALH”). PALH markets and sells life insurance and annuity products of various insurance carriers to individuals through a network of agents. Prior to the acquisition date, PALH owned a 70% ownership stake in an operating company of which F&G owned 30% equity. Total consideration to acquire the remaining 70% equity is comprised of cash of approximately $216 million.

FNF $250 million Preferred Stock Investment

On January 12, 2024, we completed a $250 million preferred stock investment from FNF. F&G will use net proceeds from the investment to support the growth of its assets under management. Under the terms of the agreement, FNF agreed to invest $250 million in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of F&G’s 6.875% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.0.001 per share, liquidation preference of $50.00 per share (the “FNF Preferred Stock”). Each outstanding share of the FNF Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of F&G common stock on or before January 15, 2027.

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 16, 2024, F&G entered into an amendment and extension of its existing senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The maturity date of the Credit Agreement was extended by approximatelytwo years from November 22, 2025 to November 22, 2027. Total borrowing availability increased from $665 million to $750 million. Pricing and advance rates remain unchanged. Financial covenants also remain essentially the same.

6.50% F&G Senior Notes

On June 4, 2024, F&G completed its public offering of $550 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.50% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “6.50% F&G Notes”). The 6.50% F&G Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis by each of F&G’s subsidiaries that are guarantors of F&G’s obligations under its existing credit agreement. A portion of the net proceeds were used to finance a cash tender offer by its wholly owned subsidiary Fidelity & Guaranty Life Holdings, Inc. (“FGLH”) for an aggregate principal amount of $250 million of FGLH’s 5.50% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “5.50% F&G Notes”). F&G intends to use the remaining net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repurchase, redemption or repayment at maturity of outstanding indebtedness. The 6.50% F&G Notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1934 (as amended) (the “Securities Act”).

Refer to Note L -Notes Payablefor further information related to these financing facilities.

Dividends

On July 31, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.8594 per share on the FNF Preferred Stock for the period from July 15, 2024 to and excluding October 15, 2024, to be payable on October 15, 2024, to FNF Preferred Stock record holders on October 1, 2024. On July 31, 2024, our Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per common share, payable on September 30, 2024, to F&G common shareholders of record as of September 16, 2024. Generally, no dividends will be declared or paid on F&G common stock and no common stock can be acquired by F&G unless all preferred dividends are declared and paid on the FNF Preferred Stock.

Unconsolidated Owned Distribution Investments

We paid commissions on sales through our unconsolidated owned distribution investments and their affiliates of approximately $44 million and $40 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 respectively, and $94 million and $77 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The acquisition expense is deferred and amortized in Depreciation and amortization on the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”), as presented on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders in a given period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such period. Net earnings available to common shareholders is net earnings adjusted for net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests, preferred stock dividends, including preferred stock dividends declared. In periods when earnings are positive, diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities. For periods when we recognize a net loss, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share as the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities is considered to be antidilutive. Certain shares of restricted stock, using the treasury stock method and, as of January 12, 2024, the FNF Preferred Stock, using the if-converted method, are treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which the effect is dilutive. The if-converted method assumes that the convertible preferred stock converts into common stock at the beginning of the period or date of issuance, if later.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

We report Comprehensive Income (Loss) in accordance with GAAP on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Total comprehensive income is defined as all changes in shareholders' equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders. While total Comprehensive Income (Loss) is the activity in a period and is largely driven by net earnings in that period, Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of the balance sheet date. Amounts reclassified to net earnings relate to the realized gains (losses) on our investments and other financial instruments, excluding investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and are included in Recognized gains and (losses), net on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Changes in the balance of Other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 by component are as follows (in millions).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted Pronouncements

In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-02, Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structure Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2024, as required, and there was no material impact to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note H -Income Taxes for further information.

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements that are currently required annually, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, and contain other disclosure requirements. Additionally, the amendments require that entities with a single reportable segment must now provide all the disclosures previously required under Topic 280. The amendments in this update are incremental to the current requirements of Topic 280 and do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The enhanced segment disclosure requirements apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The significant segment expense and other segment item amounts disclosed in prior periods shall be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The amendments in this update are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the updates must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We do not expect to early adopt this standard and are in the process of assessing its impact on our disclosures upon adoption.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update enhance the transparency of the income tax disclosures by expanding on the disclosures required annually. The amendments require entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes, in addition to providing details about the reconciling items in some categories if above a quantitative threshold. Additionally, the amendments require annual disclosure of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective application is permitted. We do not expect to early adopt this standard and are in the process of assessing its impact on our disclosures upon adoption.

Note B —Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our measurement of fair value is based on assumptions used by market participants in pricing the asset or liability, which may include inherent risk, restrictions on the sale or use of an asset, or non-performance risk, which may include our own credit risk. We estimate an exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability (“exit price”) in the principal market, or the most advantageous market for that asset or liability in the absence of a principal market as opposed to the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or assume a liability (“entry price”). We categorize financial instruments carried at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy, based on the priority of inputs to the respective valuation technique, along with net asset value. The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement is defined as follows:

Level 1 – Values are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices from those willing to trade in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by market data for the term of the instrument. Such inputs include market interest rates and volatilities, spreads, and yield curves.

Level 3 – Certain inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity) and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s best estimate of what hypothetical market participants would use to determine a transaction price for the asset or liability at the reporting date based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Net Asset Value (“NAV”)– Certain equity investments are measured using NAV as a practical expedient in determining fair value. In addition, our unconsolidated affiliates (primarily limited partnerships) are primarily accounted for using the equity method of accounting with fair value determined using NAV as a practical expedient. Our carrying value reflects our pro rata ownership percentage as indicated by NAV in the unconsolidated affiliate’s financial statements, which we may adjust if we determine NAV is not calculated consistent with investment company fair value principles. The underlying investments of the unconsolidated affiliates may have significant unobservable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, comparable multiples and weighted average cost of capital rates applied in valuation models or a discounted cash flow model. Additionally, management inquires quarterly with the general partner to determine whether any credit or other market events have occurred since prior period financial statements to ensure any material events are properly included in current period valuation and investment income.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.

When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. Because certain securities trade in less liquid or illiquid markets with limited or no pricing information, the determination of fair value for these securities is inherently more difficult. In addition to the unobservable inputs, Level 3 fair value investments may include observable components, which are components that are actively quoted or can be validated to market-based sources.

Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, summarized according to the hierarchy previously described, are as follows (in millions):

Valuation Methodologies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these instruments approximate fair value.

Fixed Maturity, Preferred and Equity Securities

We measure the fair value of our securities based on assumptions used by market participants in pricing the security. The most appropriate valuation methodology is selected based on the specific characteristics of the fixed maturity, preferred or equity security, and we will then consistently apply the valuation methodology to measure the security’s fair value. Our fair value measurement is based on a market approach, which utilizes prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. Sources of inputs to the market approach include third-party pricing services, independent broker quotations, or pricing matrices. We use observable and unobservable inputs in our valuation methodologies. Observable inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. In addition, market indicators and industry and economic events are monitored and further market data will be acquired when certain thresholds are met.

For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some of the inputs described above may not be applicable. The significant input used in the fair value measurement of equity securities for which the market approach valuation technique is employed is yield for comparable securities. Increases or decreases in the yields would result in lower or higher, respectively, fair value measurements. For broker-quoted only securities, quotes from market makers or broker-dealers are obtained from sources recognized to be market participants. We believe the broker quotes are prices at which trades could be executed based on historical trades executed at broker-quoted or slightly higher prices.

We analyze the third-party valuation methodologies and related inputs to perform assessments to determine the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy. However, we did not adjust prices received from third parties as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Certain equity investments are measured using NAV as a practical expedient in determining fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Our call options and put options (together referred to as “equity options”), futures contracts, and interest rate swaps can either be exchange traded or over the counter. Exchange traded derivatives typically fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy if there is active trading activity. Two methods are used to value over-the-counter derivatives. When required inputs are available, certain derivatives are valued using valuation pricing models, which represent what we would expect to receive or pay at the balance sheet date if we cancelled or exercised the derivative, or entered into offsetting positions. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, which include the use of market-observable inputs, including interest rate, yield curve volatilities, and other factors. These over-the-counter derivatives are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the majority trade in liquid markets, we can verify model inputs and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. When inputs aren’t available for valuation models, certain over-the-counter derivatives are valued using independent broker quotes, which are based on unobservable market data and classified within Level 3.

The fair value of the reinsurance-related embedded derivatives in our funds withheld reinsurance agreements are estimated based upon the fair value of the assets supporting the funds withheld from reinsurance liabilities. The fair value of the assets is based on a quoted market price of similar assets (Level 2), and therefore the fair value of the embedded derivative is based on market-observable inputs and classified as Level 2.

The fair value measurement of the indexed annuities/IUL embedded derivatives included in contractholder funds is determined through a combination of market observable information and significant unobservable inputs using the option budget method. The market observable inputs are the market value of option and treasury rates. The significant unobservable inputs are the budgeted option cost (i.e., the expected cost to purchase equity options in future periods to fund the equity indexed linked feature), surrender rates, mortality multiplier and non-performance spread. The mortality multiplier at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was applied to the 2012 Individual Annuity mortality tables. Increases or decreases in the market value of an option in isolation would result in a higher or lower, respectively, fair value measurement. Increases or decreases in treasury rates, mortality multiplier, surrender rates, or non-performance spread in isolation would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively. Generally, a change in any one unobservable input would not directly result in a change in any other unobservable input.

Investments in Unconsolidated affiliates

We have elected the fair value option (“FVO”) for certain investments in unconsolidated affiliates as we believe this better aligns them with other investments in unconsolidated affiliates that are measured using NAV as a practical expedient in determining fair value. Investments measured using the FVO are included in Level 3 and the fair value of these investments are determined using either a multiple of the affiliates’ EBITDA, which is derived from market analysis of transactions involving comparable companies, or an adjusted transaction value, which contemplates measures such as EBITDA margins, revenue growth over certain time periods, growth opportunities and marketability. The fair values are based on the affiliates’ financial information. The inputs are usually considered unobservable, as not all market participants have access to this data.

Short-term Investments

The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these instruments approximate fair value.

Other Long-term Investments

We hold a fund-linked note, which provides for an additional payment at maturity based on the value of an embedded derivative based on the actual return of a dedicated return fund. Fair value of the embedded derivative is based on an unobservable input, the NAV of the fund at the balance sheet date. The embedded derivative is similar to a equity option on the net asset value of the fund with a strike price ofzero since we will not be required to make any additional payments at maturity of the fund-linked note in order to receive the NAV of the fund on the maturity date. A Black-Scholes model determines the NAV of the fund as the fair value of the equity option regardless of the values used for the other inputs to the option pricing model. The NAV of the fund is provided by the fund manager at the end of each calendar month and represents the value an investor would receive if it withdrew its investment on the balance sheet date. Therefore, the key unobservable input used in the Black-Scholes model is the value of the fund. As the value of the fund increases or decreases, the fair value of the embedded derivative will increase or decrease. See further discussion on the available-for-sale embedded derivative in Note D -Derivative Financial Instruments.

The fair value of the credit-linked note is based on a weighted average of a broker quote and a discounted cash flow analysis. The discounted cash flow approach is based on the expected portfolio cash flows and amortization schedule reflecting investment expectations, adjusted for assumptions on the portfolio's default and recovery rates, and the note's discount rate. The fair value of the note is provided by the fund manager at the end of each quarter.

Contingent Consideration

The contingent consideration liability is measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow model applied using a Monte Carlo simulation of estimated EBITDA at each measurement period and for each simulated path relative to contractual EBITDA milestones. The Monte Carlo simulation utilizes a risk-adjusted discount rate, volatility assumption, and risk-free rates to assess the probability Roar's EBITDA trajectory reaches required milestones for the earn out payments to be made. The discounted cash flow approach applies a company-specific discount rate based on F&G credit profile to future expected earn out payments to calculate the estimated fair value based on the average outcome from the simulation. See further discussion on the contingent consideration in Note N -Commitments and Contingencies.

Market Risk Benefits (“MRB”)

MRBs are measured at fair value using an attributed fee measurement approach where attributed fees are explicit rider charges collectible from the policyholder used to cover the excess benefits. The fair value is calculated using a risk neutral valuation method and is based on current net amounts at risk, market data, internal and industry experience, and other factors. The balances are computed using assumptions including mortality, full and partial surrender, rider benefit utilization, risk-free rates including non-performance spread and risk margin, market value of options and economic scenarios. Policyholder behavior assumptions are reviewed at least annually, typically in the third quarter, for any revisions. See further discussion on MRBs in Note G -Market Risk Benefits.

Quantitative information regarding significant unobservable inputs used for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of financial instruments carried at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, excluding assets and liabilities for which significant quantitative unobservable inputs are not developed internally and not readily available to the Company (primarily those valued using broker quotes and certain third-party pricing services), are as follows (in millions):

Valuation Methodologies and Associated Inputs for Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The following discussion outlines the methodologies and assumptions used to determine the fair value of our financial instruments not carried at fair value. Considerable judgment is required to develop these assumptions used to measure fair value. Accordingly, the estimates shown are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a one-time, current market exchange of all of our financial instruments.

The fair value of mortgage loans is established using a discounted cash flow method based on internal credit rating, maturity and future income. This yield-based approach is sourced from our third-party vendor. The internal ratings for mortgages in good standing are based on property type, location, market conditions, occupancy, debt service coverage, loan-to-value, quality of tenancy, borrower, and payment record. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our mortgage loans are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in Unconsolidated affiliates

The fair value of investments in unconsolidated affiliates is primarily determined using NAV as a practical expedient. Recognition of income and adjustments to the carrying amount are delayed due to the availability of the related financial statements, which are obtained from the general partner typically on a one to three-month delay.

Policy Loans (included within Other long-term investments)

Policy loans are reported at the unpaid principal balance and are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of underlying insurance policies. The carrying value of the policy loans approximates the fair value and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Company Owned Life Insurance

Company owned life insurance (“COLI”) is a life insurance program used to finance certain employee benefit expenses. The fair value of COLI is based on net realizable value, which is generally cash surrender value. COLI is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Contracts

Investment contracts include deferred annuities (indexed annuities and fixed rate annuities), IUL policies, funding agreements and PRT and immediate annuity contracts without life contingencies. The indexed annuities/IUL embedded derivatives, included in contractholder funds, are excluded as they are carried at fair value. The fair value of the deferred annuities (indexed annuities and fixed rate annuities) and IUL contracts is based on their cash surrender value (i.e., the cost the Company would incur to extinguish the liability) as these contracts are generally issued without an annuitization date. The fair value of funding agreements and PRT and immediate annuity contracts without life contingencies is derived by calculating a new fair value interest rate using the updated yield curve and treasury spreads as of the respective reporting date. The Company is not required to, and has not, estimated the fair value of the liabilities under contracts that involve significant mortality or morbidity risks, as these liabilities fall within the definition of insurance contracts that are exceptions from financial instruments that require disclosures of fair value.

Other

Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) common stock is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The carrying amount of FHLB common stock represents the value it can be sold back to the FHLB and is classified as Level 2 within the hierarchy.

Debt

The fair value of debt, with the exception of the Revolving Credit Facility, is based on quoted market prices of debt with similar credit risk and tenor. The inputs used to measure the fair value of these debts results in a Level 2 classification within the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying value of the revolving credit facility approximates fair value as the rates are comparable to those at which we could currently borrow under similar terms. As such, the fair value of the revolving credit facility was classified as a Level 2 measurement.

The following tables provide the carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are carried on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts other than fair value, summarized according to the fair value hierarchy previously described (in millions).

For investments for which NAV is used, we do not have any significant restrictions in our ability to liquidate our positions in these investments, other than obtaining general partner approval, nor do we believe it is probable a price less than NAV would be received in the event of a liquidation.

We review the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3, or between other levels, at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. The transfers into and out of Level 3 were related to changes in the primary pricing source and changes in the observability of external information used in determining the fair value.

Allowance for Current Expected Credit Loss

We regularly review AFS securities for declines in fair value that we determine to be credit related. For our fixed maturity securities, we generally consider the following in determining whether our unrealized losses are credit related, and if so, the magnitude of the credit loss:

The extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis;

The reasons for the decline in value (credit event, currency or interest-rate related, including general credit spread widening);

The financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer (including issuer's current credit rating and the probability of full recovery of principal based upon the issuer's financial strength);

Current delinquencies and nonperforming assets of underlying collateral;

Expected future default rates;

Collateral value by vintage, geographic region, industry concentration or property type;

Subordination levels or other credit enhancements as of the balance sheet date as compared to origination; and

Contractual and regulatory cash obligations and the issuer's plans to meet such obligations.

We recognize an allowance for current expected credit losses on fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position when it is determined, using the factors discussed above, a component of the unrealized loss is related to credit. We measure the credit loss using a discounted cash flow model that utilizes the single best estimate cash flow and the recognized credit loss is limited to the total unrealized loss on the security (i.e., the fair value floor). Cash flows are discounted using the implicit yield of bonds at their time of purchase and the current book yield for asset and mortgage-backed securities as well as variable rate securities. We recognize the expected credit losses in Recognized gains and (losses), net in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, with an offset for the amount of non-credit impairments recognized in AOCI. We do not measure a credit loss allowance on accrued investment income because we write-off accrued interest through Interest and investment income when collectability concerns arise.

We consider the following in determining whether write-offs of a security’s amortized cost are necessary:

We believe amounts related to securities have become uncollectible;

We intend to sell a security; or

It is more likely than not that we will be required to sell a security prior to recovery.

If we intend to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security is below amortized cost, we will write down the security to current fair value, with a corresponding charge, net of any amount previously recognized as an allowance for expected credit loss, to Recognized gains and (losses), net in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. If we do not intend to sell a fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell a fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis but believe amounts related to a security are uncollectible, an impairment is deemed to have occurred and the amortized cost is written down to the estimated recovery value with a corresponding charge, net of any amount previously recognized as an allowance for expected credit loss, to Recognized gains and (losses), net in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remainder of unrealized loss is held in other comprehensive income in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity.

(a) Purchased credit deteriorated financial assets (“PCD”)

PCDs are AFS securities purchased at a discount, where part of that discount is attributable to credit. Credit loss allowances are calculated for these securities as of the date of their acquisition, with the initial allowance serving to increase amortized cost. There wereno purchases of PCD AFS securities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 or for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The fair value and gross unrealized losses of AFS securities, excluding securities in an unrealized loss position with an allowance for expected credit loss, aggregated by investment category and duration of fair value below amortized cost as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows (dollars in millions):

We determined the unrealized losses were caused by higher treasury rates compared to those at the time of the FNF acquisition or the purchase of the security if later. For securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2024, our allowance for expected credit loss was $58 million. We believe the unrealized loss position for which we havenot recorded an allowance for expected credit loss as of June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to interest rate increases, near-term illiquidity, and other macroeconomic uncertainties as opposed to issuer specific credit concerns.

Our mortgage loans are collateralized by commercial and residential properties.

Commercial Mortgage Loans

Commercial mortgage loans (“CMLs”) represented approximately 5% of our total investments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The mortgage loans in our investment portfolio, are generally comprised of high quality commercial first lien and mezzanine real estate loans. Mortgage loans are primarily on income producing properties including industrial properties, retail buildings, multifamily properties and office buildings. We diversify our CML portfolio by geographic region and property type to attempt to reduce concentration risk. We continuously evaluate CMLs based on relevant current information to ensure properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the related debt. The distribution of CMLs, gross of valuation allowances, by property type and geographic region is reflected in the following tables (dollars in millions):

Loan-to-value (“LTV”) and debt service coverage (“DSC”) ratios are measures commonly used to assess the risk and quality of mortgage loans. The LTV ratio is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. A LTV ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the underlying collateral. The DSC ratio, based upon the most recently received financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of a property’s net income to its debt service payments. A DSC ratio of less than 1.00 indicates that a property’s operations do not generate sufficient income to cover debt payments. We normalize our DSC ratios to a 25-year amortization period for purposes of our general loan allowance evaluation.

The following tables present the recorded investment in CMLs by LTV and DSC ratio categories and estimated fair value by the indicated loan-to-value ratios, gross of valuation allowances at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollars in millions):

We recognize a mortgage loan as delinquent when payments on the loan are greater than 30 days past due. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 we hadno CMLs that were delinquent in principal or interest payments as shown in the risk rating exposure table above.

Residential Mortgage Loans

Residential mortgage loans (“RMLs”) represented approximately 5% of our total investments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Our RMLs are primarily closed end, amortizing loans and 100% of the properties are located in the United States. We diversify our RML portfolio by state to attempt to reduce concentration risk. The distribution of RMLs by state with highest-to-lowest concentration are reflected in the following tables, gross of valuation allowances (dollars in millions):

Immaterial interest income was recognized on non-accrual financing receivables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

It is our policy to cease to accrue interest on loans that are delinquent for 90 days or more. For loans less than 90 days delinquent, interest is accrued unless it is determined that the accrued interest is not collectible. If a loan becomes 90 days or more delinquent, it is our general policy to initiate foreclosure proceedings unless a workout arrangement to bring the loan current is in place. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $62 million and $57 million respectively, of mortgage loans that were over 90 days past due.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $63 million and $41 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans that were in the process of foreclosure.

Allowance for Expected Credit Loss

We estimate expected credit losses for our commercial and residential mortgage loan portfolios using a probability of default/loss given default model. Significant inputs to this model include, where applicable, the loans' current performance, underlying collateral type, location, contractual life, LTV, DSC and Debt to Income or FICO. The model projects losses using atwo-year reasonable and supportable forecast and then reverts over athree-year period to market-wide historical loss experience. Changes in our allowance for expected credit losses on mortgage loans are recognized in Recognized gains and (losses), net in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The allowances for our mortgage loan portfolio are summarized as follows (in millions):

An allowance for expected credit loss is not measured on accrued interest income for commercial mortgage loans as we have a process to write-off interest on loans that enter into non-accrual status (90 days or more past due). Allowances for expected credit losses are measured on accrued interest income for residential mortgage loans and were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

We own investments in variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that are not consolidated within our financial statements. A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity to finance its own activities without additional financial support, where investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or where the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. VIEs are consolidated by their ‘primary beneficiary’, a designation given to an entity that receives both the benefits from the VIE as well as the substantive power to make its key economic decisions. While we participate in the benefits from VIEs in which we invest, but do not consolidate, the substantive power to make the key economic decisions for each respective VIE resides with entities not under our common control. It is for this reason that we are not considered the primary beneficiary for the VIE investments that are not consolidated.

We invest in various limited partnerships and limited liability companies primarily as a passive investor. These investments are primarily in credit funds with a bias towards current income, real assets, or private equity. Limited partnership and limited liability company interests are accounted for under the equity method and are included in Investments in unconsolidated affiliates on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we invest in structured investments, which may be VIEs, but for which we are not the primary beneficiary. These structured investments typically invest in fixed income investments and are managed by third parties and include asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and residential mortgage-backed securities included in fixed maturity securities available for sale on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our maximum loss exposure with respect to these VIEs is limited to the investment carrying amounts reported in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for limited partnerships and the amortized costs of our fixed maturity securities, in addition to any required unfunded commitments (also refer to Note N -Commitments and Contingencies).

The following table summarizes the carrying value and the maximum loss exposure of our unconsolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in millions):

Indexed Annuities/IUL Embedded Derivative, Equity Options and Futures

We have indexed annuities and IUL contracts that permit the holder to elect an interest rate return or an equity index linked component, where interest credited to the contracts is linked to the performance of various equity indices, for example the S&P 500 Index. This feature represents an embedded derivative under GAAP. The indexed annuities/IUL embedded derivatives are valued at fair value and included in the liability for contractholder funds in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value included as a component of Benefits and other changes in policy reserves in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We purchase derivatives consisting of a combination of equity options and futures contracts (specifically for indexed annuity contracts) on the applicable market indices to fund the index credits due to indexed annuity/IUL contractholders. The equity options areone, two, three, five, andsix year options purchased to match the funding requirements of the underlying policies. On the respective anniversary dates of the indexed policies, the index used to compute the interest credit is reset and we purchase new equity options to fund the next index credit. We manage the cost of these purchases through the terms of our indexed annuities/IUL contracts, which permit us to change caps, spreads or participation rates, subject to guaranteed minimums, on each contract’s anniversary date. The change in the fair value of the equity options and futures contracts is generally designed to offset the portion of the change in the fair value of the indexed annuities/IUL embedded derivatives related to index performance through the current credit period. The equity options and futures contracts are marked to fair value with the change in fair value included as a component of Recognized gains and (losses), net, in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in fair value of the equity options and futures contracts includes the gains and losses recognized at the expiration of the instrument term or upon early termination and the changes in fair value of open positions.

Other market exposures are hedged periodically depending on market conditions and our risk tolerance. Our indexed annuities/IUL hedging strategy economically hedges the equity returns and exposes us to the risk that unhedged market exposures result in divergence between changes in the fair value of the liabilities and the hedging assets. We use a variety of techniques, including direct estimation of market sensitivities, to monitor this risk daily. We intend to continue to adjust the hedging strategy as market conditions and our risk tolerance changes.

Interest Rate Swaps

We utilize interest rate swaps to reduce market risks from interest rate changes on our earnings associated with our floating rate investments. With an interest rate swap, we agree with another party to exchange the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts tied to an agreed upon notional principal at specified intervals. The interest rate swaps are marked to fair value with the change in fair value, including accrued interest and related periodic cash flows received or paid, included as a component of Recognized gains and (losses), net, in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Reinsurance Related Embedded Derivatives

F&G cedes certain business on a coinsurance funds withheld basis. Investment results for the assets that support the coinsurance that are segregated within the funds withheld account are passed directly to the reinsurer pursuant to the contractual terms of the reinsurance agreement, which creates embedded derivatives considered to be total return swaps. These total return swaps are not clearly and closely related to the underlying reinsurance contract and thus require bifurcation. The fair value of the total return swaps is based on the change in fair value of the underlying assets held in the funds withheld account. These embedded derivatives are reported in Prepaid expenses and other assets if in a net gain position, or Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, if in a net loss position on the unaudited

Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the related gains or losses are reported in Recognized gains and (losses), net, on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by our counterparties and reflect assumptions regarding this non-performance risk in the fair value of our derivatives. The non-performance risk is the net counterparty exposure based on the fair value of the open contracts less collateral held. We maintain a policy of requiring all derivative contracts to be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreement.

We manage credit risk related to non-performance by our counterparties by (i) entering into derivative transactions with creditworthy counterparties; (ii) obtaining collateral, such as cash and securities when appropriate; (iii) establishing counterparty exposure limits, which are subject to periodic management review.

Information regarding our exposure to credit loss on the derivative instruments we hold, excluding futures contracts, is presented below (in millions):

Notional AmountFair ValueCollateralNet Credit Risk
June 30, 2024$34,353$1,004$1,011$36
December 31, 202329,96879677539

Collateral Agreements

We are required to maintain minimum ratings as a matter of routine practice as part of our over-the-counter derivative agreements on ISDA forms. Under some ISDA agreements, we have agreed to maintain certain financial strength ratings. A downgrade below these levels provides the counterparty under the agreement the right to terminate the open derivative contracts between the parties, at which time any amounts payable by us or the counterparty would be dependent on the market value of the underlying contracts. Our current rating does not allow any counterparty the right to terminate ISDA agreements. In certain transactions, both us and the counterparty have entered into a collateral support agreement requiring either party to post collateral when the net exposures exceed pre-determined thresholds. For all counterparties, exceptone, this threshold is set tozero. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 counterparties posted collateral of $1,011 million and $775 million, respectively, of which $809 million and $588 million, respectively, is included in Cash and cash equivalents with an associated payable for this collateral included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the maximum amount of loss due to credit risk that we would incur if parties to the derivatives failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts was $36 million at June 30, 2024 and $39 million at December 31, 2023.

We are required to pay our counterparties the effective federal funds interest rate each day for cash collateral posted to us. Cash collateral is reinvested in overnight investment sweep products, which are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, to reduce the interest cost.

We held 322 and 439 futures contracts at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the futures contracts represents the cumulative unsettled variation margin (open trade equity, net of cash settlements). We provide cash collateral to the counterparties for the initial and variation margin on the futures contracts, which is included in Cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of cash collateral held by the counterparties for such contracts was $4 million at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note E —Reinsurance

F&G reinsures portions of its policy risks with other insurance companies. The use of indemnity reinsurance does not discharge an insurer from liability on the insurance ceded. The insurer is required to pay in full the amount of its insurance liability regardless of whether it is entitled to or able to receive payment from the reinsurer. The portion of risks exceeding F&G's retention limit is reinsured. F&G primarily seeks reinsurance coverage in order to manage loss exposures, to enhance our capital position, to diversify risks and earnings, and to manage new business volume. F&G follows reinsurance accounting when the treaty adequately transfers insurance risk. Otherwise, F&G follows deposit accounting if there is inadequate transfer of insurance risk or if the underlying policy for which risk is being transferred is an investment contract that does not contain insurance risk.

The effects of reinsurance on net premiums earned and net benefits incurred (benefits paid and reserve changes) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were as follows (in millions):

Amounts payable or recoverable for reinsurance on paid and unpaid claims are not subject to periodic or maximum limits. No policies issued by F&G have been reinsured with any foreign company, which is controlled, either directly or indirectly, by a party not primarily engaged in the business of insurance. F&G has not entered into any reinsurance agreements in which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel any reinsurance for reasons other than non-payment of premiums or other similar credit issues. There have been no significant changes to reinsurance contracts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The following summarizes our reinsurance recoverable (in millions) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

(b) The combined quota share flow reinsurance amongst all reinsurers for 2024 was 90% through May 31, 2024 and decreased to 30% in June, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the combined quota share flow reinsurance amongst all reinsurers was 90%.
(c) Reinsurance recoverable is collateralized by assets placed in a statutory comfort trust by the reinsurer and maintained for our sole benefit.
(d) Also includes certain FGL Insurance life insurance policies that are subject to redundant reserves, reported on a statutory basis, under Regulation XXX and Guideline AXXX.
(e) Represents all other reinsurers, with no single reinsurer having a carrying value in excess of 5% of total reinsurance recoverable.

F&G incurred risk charge fees of $12 million and $10 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $22 million and $20 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, in relation to reinsurance agreements.

Credit Losses

F&G estimates expected credit losses on reinsurance recoverables using a probability of default/loss given default model. Significant inputs to the model include the reinsurer's credit risk, expected timing of recovery, industry-wide historical default experience, senior unsecured bond recovery rates, and credit enhancement features.

The expected credit loss reserves were as follows (in millions):

Concentration of Reinsurance Risk

As indicated above, F&G has a significant concentration of reinsurance risk with third party reinsurers, ASPIDA Life Re Ltd. (“Aspida Re”), Somerset Reinsurance Ltd. (“Somerset”), Everlake Life Insurance Company (“Everlake”), and Wilton Reinsurance (“Wilton Re”) that could have a material impact on our financial position in the event that any of these reinsurers fails to perform its obligations under the various reinsurance treaties. We monitor the financial condition and financial strength of individual reinsurers using public ratings (refer to table below) and ratings reports of individual reinsurers to attempt to reduce the risk of default by such reinsurers. In addition, the risk of non-performance is further mitigated with various forms of collateral or collateral arrangements, including secured trusts, funds withheld accounts and irrevocable letters of credit. We believe that all amounts due from Aspida Re, Somerset, Everlake, and Wilton Re for periodic treaty settlements, net of any applicable credit loss reserves, are collectible as of June 30, 2024.

The cash flow assumptions used to amortize VOBA and DAC were consistent with the assumptions used to estimate the future policy benefits (“FPB”) for life contingent immediate annuities, and will be reviewed and unlocked, if applicable, in the same period as those balances. For nonparticipating traditional life contracts, the VOBA amortization is straight-line, without the use of cash flow assumptions. For indexed annuity contracts, the cash flow assumptions used to amortize VOBA, DAC, and DSI were consistent with the assumptions used to estimate the value of the embedded derivative and MRBs, and will be reviewed and unlocked, if applicable, in the same period as those balances. For fixed rate annuities and IUL the cash flow assumptions used to amortize VOBA,

DAC and DSI reflect the Company’s best estimates for policyholder behavior, consistent with the development of assumptions for indexed annuities and immediate annuities.

We review cash flow assumptions annually, generally in the third quarter. In 2023, F&G undertook a review of all significant assumptions and revised several assumptions relating to our deferred annuity (indexed annuity and fixed rate annuity) and IUL products, including surrender rates, partial withdrawal rates, mortality improvement, premium persistency, and option budgets. All updates to these assumptions brought us more in line with our company and overall industry experience since the prior assumption update.

The net MRB liability increased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of collection of attributed fees and interest accrual as well as new MRB reserves for contracts issued within the period. These increases were partially offset by the effects of market related movements, including the impacts of higher risk-free rates and increases in the equity market related projections.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, notable changes made to the inputs to the fair value estimates of MRBs calculations included an increase in risk-free rates leading to a favorable change in the MRBs associated with indexed annuities and fixed rate annuities; increases in the equity market related projections resulted in a decrease in the net amount at risk associated with indexed annuities, leading to a favorable change in the value of the associated MRBs.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, notable changes made to the inputs to the fair value estimates of MRBs calculations included a significant increase in risk-free rates leading to a favorable change in the MRBs associated with indexed annuities and fixed rate annuities; increases in the equity market related projections resulted in a decrease in the net amount at risk associated with indexed annuities, leading to a favorable change in the value of the associated MRBs; and F&G’s credit spread decreased, lead to a corresponding unfavorable change in the MRBs associated with both indexed annuities and fixed rate annuities.

In 2023, F&G undertook a review of all significant assumptions and revised several assumptions relating to our deferred annuities (indexed annuities and fixed rate annuities) with MRBs including surrender rates, partial withdrawal rates, mortality improvement, and option budgets. All updates to these assumptions brought us more in line with our Company and overall industry experience since the prior assumption update. These updates, in total, led to an increase in the net MRB liability during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note H —Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was 20% and 19%. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was 20% and (63)%. The effective tax rate on pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to favorable permanent adjustments, including low income housing tax credits (“LIHTC”), the dividends received deduction (“DRD”), and company owned life insurance (“COLI”). The effective tax rate on pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to favorable permanent adjustments, including LIHTC, DRD, and COLI. The effective tax rate on pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the valuation allowance recorded on capital deferred tax assets for U.S. Life companies, partially offset by favorable permanent adjustments, including LIHTC, DRD, and COLI.The effective tax rate on pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the U.S. Federal Statutory rate of 21% primarily due to favorable permanent adjustments, including LIHTC, DRD, and COLI, partially offset by the valuation allowance recorded on capital deferred tax assets for U.S. Life companies.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a partial valuation allowance of $88 million against its net deferred tax assets of $415 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a partial valuation allowance of $85 million against its net deferred tax assets of $473 million. There was a $3 million increase in the valuation allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The valuation allowance consisted of a full valuation allowance on the unrealized capital loss deferred tax assets for F&G Life Re, F&G Cayman Re, and the U.S. Non-life companies, a full valuation allowance on the foreign deferred tax assets on F&G Life Re, and a partial valuation allowance on the capital loss deferred tax assets on the U.S. life insurance companies.

The valuation allowance is reviewed quarterly and will be maintained until there is sufficient positive evidence, if any, to support a release. At each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact the future realization of deferred tax assets. Management will consider a release of the valuation allowance once there is sufficient positive evidence that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

All other deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized based on expectations as to our future taxable income and considering all other available evidence, both positive and negative.

The Company makes certain investments in limited partnerships, which invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”). The Company’s investment in the funds is amortized through income tax expense on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations using the proportional amortization method.

The tax credits and other benefits recognized are included in the net change in income taxes on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The following table presents the impacts of the LIHTC investments included in income tax expense on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):

Total$(2)$(2)$(4)$(3)

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, LIHTC investments included in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $116 million and $108 million, respectively.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into law on August 16, 2022. Among other changes, the IRA introduced a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on adjusted financial statement income and a 1% excise tax on treasury stock repurchases. These provisions were effective January 1, 2023. For purposes of calculating adjusted financial statement income, the Company is included in the controlled group of FNF, its parent company. Though the Company is subject to the minimum tax, the Company does not expect to be in a perpetual CAMT position. The life companies will join the consolidated tax return group with FNF and file a life/non-life consolidated return once the five-year waiting period has completed in 2026, which should strengthen that position as FNF is not anticipating owing CAMT on its future returns. As a result, the Company has assessed that there is no material impact of CAMT to tax for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Corporate Income Tax Act of 2023 (“CIT”) was passed in Bermuda on December 27, 2023. The CIT will commence on January 1, 2025 and will apply a statutory rate of 15% to the taxable income or loss of Bermuda tax resident entities and permanent establishments. F&G Life Re, a 953(d) company with no or minimal U.S. permanent tax differences, is not expected to owe any Bermuda CIT due to the foreign tax credit. As a result, the Company has assessed that there is no material impact of the CIT to tax for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

(a) Contracts included in the contractholder funds are generally charged a premium and/or monthly assessments on the basis of the account balance.

(b) FABN and FHLB are considered funding agreements that are investment contracts which follow the interest method of accounting, and therefore are not subject to ASU 2018-12 disclosure requirements. However, the Company has elected to present the liability for these agreements within the disaggregated roll forward as we believe it will provide meaningful information for users of the financials.

(c) The embedded derivative adjustment reconciles the account balance to the gross GAAP liability and represents the combination of the host contract and the fair value of the embedded derivatives.

(d) For those guarantees of benefits that are payable in the event of death, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date.

(e) These amounts are gross of reinsurance.

(a) Contracts included in the contractholder funds are generally charged a premium and/or monthly assessments on the basis of the account balance.

(b) FABN and FHLB are considered funding agreements that are investment contracts which follow the interest method of accounting, and therefore are not subject to ASU 2018-12 disclosure requirements. However, the Company has elected to present the liability for these agreements within the disaggregated roll forward as we believe it will provide meaningful information for users of the financials.

(c) The embedded derivative adjustment reconciles the account balance to the gross GAAP liability and represents the combination of the host contract and the fair value of the embedded derivatives.

(d) For those guarantees of benefits that are payable in the event of death, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date.

(e) These amounts are gross of reinsurance.

Annually, typically in the third quarter, we review assumptions associated with reserves for policy benefits and product guarantees. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, based on increases in interest rates and pricing changes, we updated certain indexed annuity assumptions related to the option budget used to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivative component within contractholder funds. These changes resulted in an increase in total benefits and other changes in policy reserves of approximately $57 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Premium deficiency testing

F&G conducts annual premium deficiency testing for its long-duration contracts except for the FPB for nonparticipating traditional and limited-payment contracts. F&G also conducts annual premium deficiency testing for the VOBA of all long-duration contracts. Premium deficiency testing is performed by reviewing assumptions used to calculate the insurance liabilities and determining whether the sum of the existing contract liabilities and the present value of future gross premiums is sufficient to cover the present value of future benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and settlement costs and recover unamortized present value of future profits. Anticipated investment income, based on F&G’s experience, is considered when performing premium deficiency testing for long-duration contracts. During 2024, F&G was not required to establish any additional liabilities as a result of premium deficiency testing.

F&G made changes to assumptions during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023. Significant assumption inputs used in the calculation of our FPB are described below. Refer to the tables above for further details on changes to our FPB.

Traditional life

Significant assumption inputs to the calculation of the FPB for traditional life include mortality, lapses (including lapses due to nonpayment of premium and surrenders for cash surrender value), and discount rates (both accretion and current). We review the cash flow assumptions annually, typically in the third quarter. In 2023, F&G undertook a review of all significant assumptions and revised the lapse assumption, resulting in a slight decrease to the FPB. In 2024, F&G made an adjustment to the calculation to reflect additional actuarial precision, unrelated to the assumptions, driving an increase to the FPB liability. There have been no other significant changes.

Market data that underlies current discount rates was updated in 2024 from that utilized in 2023 resulting in increased discount rates that drove a moderate decrease to the FPB.

Immediate annuities (life contingent)

Significant assumption inputs to the calculation of the FPB for immediate annuities (life contingent) include mortality and discount rates (both accretion and current). We review the cash flow assumptions annually, typically in the third quarter. In 2023, F&G undertook a review of the significant cash flow assumptions and did not make any changes to mortality. Market data that underlies current discount rates was updated in 2024 from that utilized in 2023, resulting in increased discount rates that drove a material decrease to the FPB.

PRT (life contingent)

Significant assumption inputs to the calculation of the FPB for PRT (life contingent) include mortality and discount rates (both accretion and current). We review the cash flow assumptions annually, typically in the third quarter. In 2023, F&G undertook a review of the significant cash flow assumptions and did not make any changes to mortality. Market data that underlies current discount rates was updated in 2024 from 2023 resulting in increased discount rates that drove a material decrease to the FPB.

Note K -Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total unearned revenue liabilities (“URL”) balance of $333 million and $270 million, respectively, is included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Total$2,038$1,754

6.50% F&G Senior Notes -On June 4, 2024, F&G completed its public offering of $550 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.50% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “6.50% F&G Notes”). The 6.50% F&G notes were issued at 99.74% of face value net of deferred issuance costs of approximately $6 million. The 6.50% F&G Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis by each of F&G’s subsidiaries that are guarantors of F&G’s obligations under its existing credit agreement. The 6.50% F&G Notes mature on June 4, 2029, and become callable on May 4, 2029. Interest is payable semi-annually at a fixed rate of 6.50%, and, if the 6.50% F&G Notes are downgraded, the interest rate payable is subject to adjustment from time to time per the terms of the indenture.

F&G used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay an aggregate principal amount of $250 million of the 5.50% F&G Notes. The balance of the 5.50% F&G Notes was $305 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $561 million at December 31, 2023. F&G intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the repurchase, redemption or repayment at maturity of outstanding indebtedness.

Revolving Credit Facility - On February 16, 2024, F&G entered into an amendment and extension of its existing senior unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The maturity date of the Credit Agreement was extended from November 22, 2025 to November 22, 2027. Total borrowing availability increased from $665 million to $750 million. Pricing and advance rates remain unchanged. Financial covenants also remain essentially the same.

At June 30, 2024, the remaining borrowing availability was $385 million. The average variable interest rate on the revolver was 7.08% and 7.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

Covenants - The Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 6.50% F&G Notes,7.95% F&G Notes,7.40% F&G Notes and 5.50% F&G Notes impose certain operating and financial restrictions, including financial covenants, on F&G. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants.

Interest Expense - Amortization of deferred issuance costs and purchase premiums are recognized as components of interest expense. Interest expense on F&G’s outstanding notes payable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in millions):

Contingent Consideration

Under the terms of the purchase agreement for Roar, we have agreed to make cash payments of up to approximately $90 million over athree-year period upon the achievement by Roar of certain EBITDA milestones. The contingent consideration is recorded at fair value in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note P -Acquisition for more information on the Roar purchase and refer to Note B -Fair Value of Financial Instrumentsfor more information regarding the fair value of the contingent consideration.

Legal and Regulatory Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Like other companies, our ordinary course litigation includes a number of class action and purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to aspects of our operations. We believe that no actions, other than the matters discussed below, if any, depart from customary litigation incidental to our business.

We review lawsuits and other legal and regulatory matters (collectively “legal proceedings”) on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, management bases its decision on its assessment of the ultimate outcome assuming all appeals have been exhausted. For legal proceedings in which it has been determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability based on known facts and that represents our best estimate has been recorded. Our accrual for legal and regulatory matters was insignificant as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We do not consider (i) the amounts we have currently recorded for all legal proceedings in which it has been determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable and (ii) reasonably possible losses for all pending legal proceedings to be material to our financial statements either individually or in the aggregate. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating results or cash flows for any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, at present we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

F&G is a defendant intwo putative class action lawsuits that allege some customers’ personally identifiable information was disclosed due to a vulnerability in the MOVEit file transfer software. F&G’s vendor, Pension Benefit Information, LLC (“PBI”), used the MOVEit software in the course of providing audit and address research services to F&G and many other corporate customers. Miller v. F&G, No. 4:23-cv-00326 (“Miller”), was filed against F&G in the Southern District of Iowa on August 31, 2023. Miller alleges that he is a F&G customer whose personally identifiable information was disclosed in the MOVEit incident and brings common law tort and implied contract claims. Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief and damages. Cooper v. Progress Software Corp., No. 1:23-cv-12067 (“Cooper”), was filed against F&G andfive other defendants in the District of Massachusetts on September 7, 2023. Cooper also alleges that he is a F&G customer whose personally identifiable information was disclosed and brings similar common law tort claims and alleges claims as a purported third-party beneficiary of an alleged contract. Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and damages. Well over 150 similar lawsuits have been filed against other entities impacted by the MOVEit incident including a number of such lawsuits related to PBI’s use of MOVEit. On October 4, 2023, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation created a multidistrict litigation (“MDL”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to handle all litigation brought by individuals whose information was potentially compromised in connection with the alleged MOVEit vulnerability. Both Miller and Cooper have been transferred to the MDL and are proceeding under MDL Case No. 1:23-md-03083-ADB-PGL. Plaintiffs filed amendments to their complaints, and the Defendants filed their omnibus motion to dismiss for lack of Article III standing on July 23, 2024. At this time, F&G does not believe the incident will have a material impact on its business, operations, or financial results.

On May 28, 2024, a lawsuit styled Roofers Local 149 Pension Fund v. Fidelity National Financial Inc., William P. Foley, F&G Annuities & Life Inc., C.A. No. 2024-0562-LWW, was filed in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, wherein Plaintiff Roofers Local 149 Pension Fund (“Plaintiff”), derivatively on behalf of Nominal F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. (“F&G”), brings its stockholder derivative action for breach of fiduciary duty against Defendants Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF”), in its capacity as F&G’s controlling stockholder, and William P. Foley, Executive Chairman of F&G and Chairman of FNF, related to F&G’s January 11, 2024 sale of $250 million of 6.875% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to FNF. Plaintiff alleges that, based upon the unfair process and unfair price, the preferred stock investment was advantageous to FNF and unfair to F&G. Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of F&G for the alleged unfair preferred stock investment. F&G filed its answer to Plaintiff’s complaint on July 24, 2024. The defendants will vigorously contest the Plaintiff’s claims in the action.

From time to time, we receive inquiries and requests for information from state insurance departments, attorneys general and other regulatory agencies about various matters relating to our business. Sometimes these take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. We cooperate with all such inquiries and we have responded to or are currently responding to inquiries from multiple governmental agencies. From time to time, we are assessed fines for violations of regulations or other matters or enter into settlements with such authorities, which may require us to pay fines or claims or take other actions. We do not anticipate such fines and settlements, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, or financial results.

Commitments

We have unfunded commitments as of June 30, 2024 based upon the timing of when investments and agreements are executed or signed compared to when the actual investments and agreements are funded or closed. Some investments require that funding occur over a period of months or years. A summary of unfunded commitments by commitment type as of June 30, 2024 is included below (in millions):

Note O —Insurance Subsidiary Financial Information and Regulatory Matters

Our U.S. insurance subsidiaries, FGL Insurance, FGL NY Insurance, Raven Re and Corbeau Re file financial statements with state insurance regulatory authorities and, with the exception of Raven Re, with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) that are prepared in accordance with Statutory Accounting Principles (“SAP”) prescribed or permitted by such authorities, which may vary materially from GAAP. Prescribed SAP includes the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual of the NAIC as well as state laws, regulations and administrative rules. Permitted SAP encompasses all accounting practices not so prescribed. The principal differences between SAP financial statements and financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are that SAP financial statements do not reflect VOBA, DAC, and DSI, some bond portfolios may be carried at amortized cost, assets and liabilities are presented net of reinsurance, contractholder liabilities are generally valued using more conservative assumptions and certain assets are non-admitted. Accordingly, SAP operating results and SAP capital and surplus may differ substantially from amounts reported in the GAAP basis financial statements for comparable items.

Our non-U.S. insurance subsidiaries, F&G Cayman Re Ltd (“F&G Cayman Re”) and F&G Life Re Ltd (Bermuda), file financial statements with their respective regulators.

U.S. Companies

Our principal insurance subsidiaries' statutory financial statements are based on a December 31 year end. Statutory net income and statutory capital and surplus of our wholly owned insurance subsidiaries as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were as follows (in millions):

(a) FGL NY Insurance, Raven Re and Corbeau Re are subsidiaries of FGL Insurance, and the columns should not be added together. Corbeau Re was incorporated on September 1, 2023.

Non-U.S. Companies

Our non-U.S. insurance subsidiaries, F&G Cayman Re and F&G Life Re, file financial statements with their respective regulators. As of and for the annual period ended December 31, 2023, F&G Cayman Re began to file financial statements that are prepared in accordance with SAP prescribed or permitted by such authorities, which may vary materially from GAAP. Accordingly, SAP operating results and SAP capital and surplus may differ substantially from amounts reported in the GAAP basis financial statements for comparable items.

F&G Cayman Re hastwo permitted practices which have been approved by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (“CIMA”). F&G Cayman Re has a permitted practice approved by CIMA to include, as an admitted asset, the value of the letters of credit (“LOCs”) acquired to support reinsurance transactions. Also, F&G Cayman Re has a permitted practice, approved by CIMA, for PRT reinsurance transactions to use U.S. statutory book value adjusted for best estimate reserve calculations (consistent with GAAP prior to ASU 2018-12, Financial Services-Insurance (Topic 944), Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts). These reserve calculations will be subject to annual assumption reviews consistent with other GAAP liability balances. If F&G Cayman Re had not been permitted to calculate PRT assumed reserves using best estimate reserve calculations or include the value of the LOCs as an admitted asset, statutory surplus would be $63 million and $102 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Without such permitted statutory accounting practices, F&G Cayman Re’s risk-based capital would fall below the minimum regulatory requirements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

F&G Life Re files financial statements based on GAAP.

Net income and capital and surplus of our wholly owned Cayman Islands and Bermuda regulated insurance subsidiaries under SAP and GAAP, respectively, were as follows (in millions):

Subsidiary (country of domicile)
F&G Cayman Re (Cayman Islands)F&G Life Re (Bermuda)
Statutory net income (loss):

For the six months ended June 30, 2023774
Statutory capital and surplus:
June 30, 2024$631$92
December 31, 202354311

There have been no material changes to the prescribed and permitted practices for our U.S. insurance subsidiaries, which were detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and no other significant changes in the regulatory status of our insurance subsidiaries as of June 30, 2024.

The prescribed and permitted statutory accounting practices have no impact on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Goodwill consists primarily of intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as the assembled workforce and synergies between the entities. The goodwill recorded is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Roars’s revenues of $18 million and $41 million and net earnings attributable to F&G of $1 million and $4 million are included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Unaudited Supplemental Pro-Forma Financial Results

For comparative purposes, selected unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations of F&G for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are presented below (in millions). Unaudited pro-forma results presented assume the acquisition of Roar occurred as of January 1, 2023 and are not intended to represent or be indicative of actual or future results of operations.

Three months ended June 30,Six months ended June 30,
20232023
Total revenues$1,184$2,065
Net earnings (loss) attributable to F&G shareholders117(85)

Amounts reflect certain pro forma adjustments to revenue and net earnings attributable to F&G shareholders that were directly attributable to the acquisition, primarily reflecting the elimination of intercompany activity between the entities.

Note Q -Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (dollars and shares in millions except per share data):

Three months ended June 30,Six months ended June 30,
2024202320242023
Net earnings (loss)$204$130$320$(65)
Less: Noncontrolling interests1—2—
Net earnings (loss) attributable to F&G203130318(65)
Less: Preferred stock dividend5—9—
Net earnings (loss) attributable to F&G common shareholders$198$130$309$(65)
Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic124125124125
Dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock1—1—
Dilutive effect of mandatory convertible preferred stock6—5—
Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted131125130125
Net earnings (loss) per share attributable to F&G common shareholders
Basic - net$1.60$1.04$2.49$(0.52)
Diluted - net$1.55$1.04$2.45$(0.52)

Under applicable accounting guidance, companies in a loss position are required to use basic weighted average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share. Therefore, as a result of our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, we were required to use basic weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the inclusion of 137 thousand restricted shares would have been antidilutive to the calculation. If we had not incurred a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, dilutive potential common shares would have been 125 million.
