AMERICAN NATIONAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of the Company
American National Group Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, "ANGI", "we", "our", "us", or the "Company") is a leading insurance company that offers a broad portfolio of insurance products including individual and group life insurance, annuities, pension risk transfer ("PRT"), health insurance and property and casualty insurance. Business is conducted in 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
On May 2, 2024, the Company's predecessor, American Equity Investment Life Holding Company, an Iowa corporation ("AEL" or "American Equity") merged with and into Arches Merger Sub Inc. ("Merger Sub"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. ("Brookfield Wealth Solutions"), with AEL surviving and becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of AEL's common stock was converted into the right to receive cash and class A limited voting shares of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. ("BAM"). On May 7, 2024, American National Group, LLC ("American National"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions, merged with and into AEL, with AEL surviving as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions (the "Post-Effective Merger"). Subsequently, AEL discontinued its existence as an Iowa corporation and continued its existence as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware (the "Reincorporation"). In connection with the Reincorporation, AEL changed its name to American National Group Inc. ANGI is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Wealth Solutions. On September 4, 2024, Brookfield Wealth Solutions changed its name from Brookfield Reinsurance Ltd. to Brookfield Wealth Solutions Ltd. and, on September 6, 2024, changed its trading symbol from "BNRE" to "BNT". For purposes of these notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements ("financial statements"), the "Company" refers to either ANGI or AEL, as required by the context.
As a result of the Post-Effective Merger, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Post-Effective Merger represent the results of American National as the accounting acquirer. For periods subsequent to the Post-Effective Merger, the condensed consolidated financial statements represent the combined results of American National and AEL.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, including all prior periods presented, have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and have been presented in U.S. dollars ("USD") rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise indicated. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and accompanying notes included in Exhibit 99.1 of the Form 8-K/A, filed with the SEC on August 27, 2024 and the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent periods or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented in accordance with GAAP.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts and disclosures that require use of estimates are: fair value of certain financial assets including real estate, derivatives, allowances for credit losses, deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), deferred sales inducements ("DSI"), value of business acquired ("VOBA"), goodwill and other intangibles, market risk benefits ("MRB"), future policy benefits ("FPB"), policyholder account balances ("PAB") including the fair value of embedded derivatives, funds withheld for reinsurance liabilities, pension plans, and income taxes including the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainties, which may result in actual amounts differing from reported amounts.
9
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
As a result of the acquisition of AEL and the increase in significance of certain accounts resulting from the consolidation of AEL, certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income (loss) as reported in the statements of operations, as well as total assets, liabilities or equity in the statements of financial position. The following tables and explanatory notes present adjustments within the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023 and statement of operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 to conform the presentation to that of ANGI's.

Basis of Consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, which are legal entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest by either holding a majority voting interest or is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity ("VIE"). All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. The consolidation assessment, including the determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or VOE, depends on the specific facts and circumstances for each entity and requires judgment.
The following is a subset of the Company's significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with the Company's significant accounting policies described in Note 2 of the Company's December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements and June 30, 2024 Form 10-Q.
Real estate and real estate partnershipscomprise investment real estate, as well as real estate joint ventures and other limited partnerships and include VIEs that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For certain real estate joint ventures and other limited partnerships, the Company elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments. These investments are fair valued on a recurring basis with the change in fair value reported in "Net investment income" in the statements of operations. In addition, certain other real estate joint ventures and limited partnership interest are consolidated investment company VIEs in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. These investments are fair valued on a recurring basis with the change in fair value reported in "Net investment income".
Other invested assetsis primarily comprised of derivatives instruments. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value. Derivative instruments predominately include call options used to fund fixed indexed annuity contracts and equity-indexed universal life contracts ("insurance-related derivatives"). Derivative instruments also include foreign exchange forwards that are used to hedge the currency risk associated with investments denominated in foreign currencies. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and subsequently revalued at fair value at each reporting date. Derivative instruments with positive values are recorded as derivative assets within "Other invested assets". If a derivative is not designated for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in "Investment related gains (losses)" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, except for insurance-related derivatives, whose fair value changes are recorded in "Change in fair value of insurance-related derivatives and embedded derivatives", along with fair value changes from embedded derivatives on related fixed indexed annuity contracts.
12
Where the Company has a master netting agreement with its counterparty that allows for the netting of the Company's derivative asset and liability positions, the Company elects to offset such derivative assets and liabilities and present them on a net basis on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Further, in some instances, the Company holds collateral to offset exposure from its counterparties relating to its derivative instruments. The Company elects to offset collateral supporting credit risk that is restricted to the Company's use for the derivative exposure when a master netting arrangement is in place and all offsetting criteria are met.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock, as well as separately managed accounts, which are portfolios of individual securities such as stocks or bonds, that are managed on behalf of the Company by an investment manager, are also included in other invested assets and are carried at cost or market value if available from the account manager. Other invested assets also include Company owned life insurance, tax credit partnerships and mineral rights less allowance for depletion, where applicable.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continues to assess the impacts of the ASUs listed below that have been issued but not yet adopted as of September 30, 2024 on the financial statements. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or insignificant in presentation or amount.
ASU 2023-02- On March 29, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method. The amendments 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. In addition, disclosures describing the nature of the investments and related income tax credits and benefits will be required. This ASU was effective on January 1, 2024, to be applied on either a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis subject to certain exceptions, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2023-07- On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments require the disclosure of significant segment expenses by reportable segment, enhance interim disclosure requirements and clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss. This ASU is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2023-09- On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, to be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1)Unrealized losses have been reduced to reflect the allowance for credit losses of $22 million and $24 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The unrealized losses at September 30, 2024 are principally related to the timing of the purchases of certain securities, which carry less yield than those available at September 30, 2024. Approximately 81% and 87% of the unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities shown in the above table for September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are on securities that are rated investment grade, defined as being the highest two NAIC designations.
We expect to recover our amortized cost on all securities except for those securities on which we recognized an allowance for credit loss. In addition, because we did not have the intent to sell fixed maturity securities with unrealized losses and it was not more likely than not that we would be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of the amortized cost, which may be maturity, we did not write down these investments to fair value through the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Several assumptions and underlying estimates are made in the evaluation of allowance for credit loss. Examples include financial condition, near term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer, including relevant industry conditions and trends and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices. Based on this evaluation, unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities where an allowance for credit loss was not recorded were concentrated within the financials sector as of September 30, 2024 and the transportation sector as of September 30, 2023.

Our residential mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans with an amortized cost of $2.8 billion and $0 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These loans are collateralized by the related properties and diversified as to location within the United States.
Mortgage loans on real estate are generally reported at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accrual of discounts, computed using the interest method and net of valuation allowances. Interest income is accrued on the principal amount of the loan based on the loan's contractual interest rate. Interest income is included in Net investment income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accrued interest receivable, which was $90 million and $27 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, is included in Accrued investment income on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Loan Valuation Allowance
We establish a valuation allowance to provide for the risk of credit losses inherent in our mortgage loan portfolios. The valuation allowance is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated expected credit losses. The valuation allowance is based on amortized cost, which excludes accrued interest receivable. We do not measure a credit loss allowance on accrued interest receivable as we write off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable balances to net investment income in a timely manner. We charged off $0 million and $1 million of uncollectible accrued interest receivable on our mortgage loan portfolios for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively. We did not charge off any uncollectible accrued interest receivable on our mortgage loan portfolios for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
18
The valuation allowances for each of our mortgage loan portfolios are estimated by deriving probability of default and recovery rate assumptions based on the characteristics of the loans in each portfolio, historical economic data and loss information, and current and forecasted economic conditions. Key loan characteristics impacting the estimate for our commercial mortgage loan portfolio include the current state of the borrower's credit quality, which considers factors such as loan-to-value ("LTV") and debt service coverage ("DSC") ratios, loan performance, underlying collateral type, delinquency status, time to maturity, and original credit scores. Key loan characteristics impacting the estimate for our residential mortgage loan portfolios include the current state of the borrowers' credit quality, delinquency status, time to maturity and original credit scores.

Charge-offs include allowances that have been established on loans that were satisfied either by taking ownership of the collateral or by some other means such as discounted pay-off or loan sale. When ownership of the property is taken it is recorded at the lower of the loan's carrying value or the property's fair value (based on appraised values) less estimated costs to sell. The real estate owned is recorded as a component of Real estate investments and the loan is recorded as fully paid, with any allowance for credit loss that has been established charged off. Fair value of the real estate is determined by third party appraisal. There were 33 real estate properties totaling $114 million at September 30, 2024 and 3 real estate properties totaling $79 million at December 31, 2023, in which ownership of the property was taken to satisfy an outstanding loan at December 31, 2023. Recoveries are situations where we have received a payment from the borrower in an amount greater than the carrying value of the loan (principal outstanding less specific allowance).
We closely monitor loan performance for our commercial and residential mortgage loan portfolios. Aging of financing receivables is summarized in the following table (by year of origination):

Commercial and residential mortgage loans are considered nonperforming when they become 90 days or more past due. When loans become nonperforming, we place them on non-accrual status and discontinue recognizing interest income. If payments are received on a nonperforming loan, interest income is recognized to the extent it would have been recognized if normal principal and interest would have been received timely. If payments are received to bring a nonperforming loan back to less than 90 days past due, we will resume accruing interest income on that loan. There were 227 loans in non-accrual status at September 30, 2024 and 3 loans in non-accrual status at December 31, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 we recognized interest income of $1 million and $2 million on loans which were in non-accrual status at the respective period end. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 we recognized no interest income on loans which were in non-accrual status at the respective period end.
Loan Modifications
Our commercial and residential mortgage loans may be subject to loan modifications. Loan modifications may be granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and could include principal forgiveness, interest rate reduction, an other-than-significant delay or a term extension. We consider the following factors in determining whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty:
•borrower is in default,
•borrower has declared bankruptcy,
•there is growing concern about the borrower's ability to continue as a going concern,
•borrower has insufficient cash flows to service debt,
•borrower's inability to obtain funds from other sources, and
•there is a breach of financial covenants by the borrower.
A loan modification typically does not result in a change in valuation allowance as it is already incorporated into our allowance methodology. However, if we grant a borrower experiencing financial difficulty principal forgiveness, the amount of principal forgiven would be written off, which would reduce the amortized cost of the loan and result in an adjustment to the valuation allowance.
There were three and ten significant mortgage loan modifications for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and six and eleven significant mortgage loan modifications for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

(1)Due to the nature of private loans, external agency credit ratings may not be readily available. Where appropriate, we obtain non-published credit ratings from one or more third-party rating agencies, which are determined based on an independent evaluation of the transaction. For other loans without published or private credit ratings, we assign internal risk ratings, based on our investment selection and monitoring process and policies. These internal risk ratings are categorized as "Unrated" above.

8. Variable Interest Entities and Equity Method Investments
Through our investment activities, we regularly invest in various entities including limited partnerships ("LPs") and limited liability companies ("LLCs") and frequently participate in the design with their sponsor, but in most cases, our involvement is limited to financing. Some of these investments have been determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs"). In certain instances, in addition to an economic interest in the entity, the Company holds the power to direct the most significant activities of the entity and is deemed the primary beneficiary. The Company consolidates all VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary. The assets of consolidated VIEs are restricted and must first be used to settle their liabilities. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the Company's obligation is limited to the amount of its committed investment. The Company has not provided financial or other support to these consolidated VIEs in the form of liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments to third-parties that may affect the fair value or risk of its variable interest in these VIEs as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Total liabilities of consolidated VIEs $ 396 $ 188
Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
For certain of the Company's investments in various entities that are determined to be VIEs, the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not take an active role in the management of these investments. Such investments are reported in certain investment line items on the statements of financial position, including "Available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, fair value", "Equity securities, at fair value", "Mortgage loans on real estate, at amortized cost", "Investment funds", "Short-term investments" and "Other invested assets". In some instances, a consolidated VIE involves one or more underlying entities for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the most significant activities of these entities. These unconsolidated VIEs that are part of consolidated VIEs are reported primarily in "Real estate and real estate partnerships" on the statements of financial position. Creditors or beneficial interest holders of these VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the Company's obligation is limited to the amount of its committed investment. The Company has not provided financial or other support to these unconsolidated VIEs in the form of liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments to third-parties that may affect the fair value or risk of its variable interest in these VIEs as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Equity Method Investments
The Company's investments in investment funds, real estate partnerships, and other partnerships of which substantially all are limited liability companies ("LLCs") or limited partnerships are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, except for certain investments that are fair valued due to the application of fair value option under ASC 825 or the consolidation of investment company VIE under ASC 946. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's equity accounted investments totaled $3.4 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively.
24
The Company generally recognizes its share of earnings in its equity method investments within "Net investment income" using a three-month lag in instances where the investee's financial information is not sufficiently timely or when the investee's reporting period differs from the Company's reporting period.
9. Derivative Instruments
The Company manages risks associated with certain assets and liabilities by using derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are financial contracts whose value is derived from underlying interest rates, exchange rates or other financial instruments. The Company does not invest in derivatives for speculative purposes.
Foreign exchange forwards and equity-indexed options are over-the-counter contractual agreements negotiated between counterparties. The Company purchases equity-indexed options as economic hedges against fluctuations in the equity markets to which equity-indexed products are exposed. Equity-indexed contracts include a fixed host universal-life insurance or annuity contract and an equity-indexed embedded derivative. Futures contracts are traded in an organized market and are contractual obligations to buy or sell a financial instrument at a predetermined future time at a given price.
The notional principal represents the amount to which a rate or price is applied to determine the cash flows to be exchanged periodically and does not represent credit exposure. Maximum credit risk is the estimated cost of replacing derivative financial instruments which have a positive value, should the counterparty default.
Derivatives, except for embedded derivatives, are included in "Other invested assets", at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Embedded derivative liabilities on funds withheld and modified coinsurance ("Modco") arrangements and embedded derivative liabilities on indexed annuity and variable annuity products are included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position within the "Reinsurance funds withheld" and "Policyholders' account balances" lines respectively, at fair value.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company has designated and accounted for certain foreign exchange forwards as fair value hedges to protect a portion of the available-for-sale fixed maturity securities against changes in fair value due to changes in exchange rates.
For derivative financial instruments that were designated and qualified as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the portion of the derivative instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk were recognized in the same line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unrealized gain or loss attributable to changes in exchange rates on the available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that were designated as part of the hedge were reclassified out of OCI into "Investment related gains (losses)" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining change in unrealized gain or loss on the hedged item not associated with the risk being hedged remained as a component of OCI.

Derivative Exposure
The Company's use of derivative instruments exposes it to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. The Company has a policy of only dealing with counterparties it believes are creditworthy and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the financial loss from defaults. The Company holds collateral in cash and notes secured by U.S. government-backed assets. The non-performance risk is the net counterparty exposure based on fair value of open contracts less fair value of collateral held. The Company maintains master netting agreements with its current active trading partners. A right of offset has been applied to collateral that supports credit risk and has been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as an offset to "Other invested assets" with an associated payable to "Other liabilities" for excess collateral. A right of offset has also been applied to derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty under the same master netting agreement, and such derivative instruments are presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
The fair value of our derivatives by counterparty and each counterparty's current credit rating are as follows:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. A fair value hierarchy is used to determine fair value based on a hypothetical transaction as of the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant. The Company has evaluated the types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. The classification of assets or liabilities within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities other than quoted prices in Level 1; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models and third-party evaluation, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation
Valuation Techniques for Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value
Available-for-sale Fixed Maturity Securities- The Company utilizes pricing services to estimate fair value measurements. The fair value for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that are disclosed as Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets that are readily available in an active market. The estimates of fair value for most available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, including municipal bonds, provided by the pricing service are disclosed as Level 2 measurements as the estimates are based on observable market information rather than market quotes. The pricing service utilizes market quotations for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that have quoted prices in active markets. Since available-for-sale fixed maturity securities generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service prepares estimates of fair value measurements for these securities using its proprietary pricing applications, which include available relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. Additionally, an option adjusted spread model is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios.
The pricing service evaluates each asset class based on relevant market information, credit information, perceived market movements and sector news. The market inputs utilized in the pricing evaluation, listed in the approximate order of priority, include: benchmark yields, reported trades, pricing source quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and economic events. The extent of the use of each market input depends on asset class and the market conditions. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of inputs may change or some market inputs may not be relevant. For some securities, additional inputs may be necessary.
The Company has reviewed the inputs and methodology used and the techniques applied by the pricing service to produce quotes that represent the fair value of a specific security. The review confirms that the pricing service is utilizing information from observable transactions or a technique that represents a market participant's assumptions. The Company does not adjust quotes received from the pricing service. The pricing service utilized by the Company has indicated that they will only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information available.
The Company holds a small amount of private placement debt and available-for-sale fixed maturity securities that have characteristics that make them unsuitable for matrix pricing. For these securities, a quote from an independent pricing source (typically a market maker) is obtained. Due to the disclaimers on the quotes that indicate the price is indicative only, the Company includes these fair value estimates in Level 3.
For securities priced using a quote from an independent pricing source, such as certain available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, the Company uses a market-based fair value analysis to validate the reasonableness of prices received. Price variances above a certain threshold are analyzed further to determine if any pricing issue exists. This analysis is performed quarterly.
Equity Securities- For publicly-traded equity securities, prices are received from a nationally recognized pricing service that are based on observable market transactions, and these securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. For certain preferred stock, current market quotes in active markets are unavailable. In these instances, an estimated fair value is received from the pricing service. The service utilizes similar methodologies to price preferred stocks as it does for available-for-sale fixed maturity securities. If applicable, these estimates would be disclosed as Level 2 measurements. The Company tests the accuracy of the information provided by reference to other services annually. For certain private equity without readily determinable fair values, fair value estimates are unavailable and are not disclosed.
Short-term Investments- Short-term investments are primarily commercial paper rated A2 or P2 or better by Standard & Poor's and Moody's, respectively, as well as amounts loaned under reverse repurchase agreements. Commercial paper and amounts loaned under reverse repurchase agreements are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value. These investments are classified as Level 2 measurements.
31
Real estate and Real Estate Partnerships- The fair values of residential real estate investments held through consolidation of investment company VIEs are initially recorded based on the cost to purchase the properties and subsequently recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the residential real estate properties was determined using broker price opinions (BPOs). A BPO is an appraisal methodology commonly used in the industry to estimate net proceeds from the sale of a home. The significant inputs into the valuation include market comparable home sales, age and size of the home, location and property conditions.
For certain of the Company's interest in consolidated variable interest entities, the Company elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of the consolidated variable interest entities we have elected to fair value option are recorded as a component of net investment income. The fair value of such interest is derived using discounted cash flow methodology and falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Two of our consolidated variable interest entities, which are fair valued on a recurring basis, invest in limited liability companies that invest in operating entities which hold multifamily real estate properties. The fair value of the limited liability companies was obtained from a third party and is based on the fair value of the underlying real estate held by the various operating entities. The real estate is initially calculated based on the cost to purchase the properties and subsequently calculated based on a discounted cash flow methodology.
Investment Funds- We own an investment in an infrastructure limited liability company through a consolidated VIE that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We initially recorded the investment at the cost to purchase the investment and subsequently recorded based on a discounted cash flow methodology. We own one consolidated limited partnership fund, which is measured using NAV as a practical expedient. This investment is a closed-end fund that invests in infrastructure credit assets. Redemptions are not allowed until the funds' termination date and liquidations begin.
Cash and Cash Equivalents- Amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position for these instruments are reported at their historical cost which approximates fair value due to the nature of the assets assigned to this category.
Other Invested Assets - The Company holds interest in an investment company limited partnership, which invests in residual interest investments, and is a consolidated VIE. The investment was initially recorded at cost and will subsequently be recorded at fair value using discounted cash flow methodology. This investments falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Additionally, the Company has elected the fair value option for certain residual interest investments, which are fair valued using discounted cash flow methodology. These investments fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Gains and losses recorded for residual interest investments we have elected to fair value option are recorded as a component of net investment income.
Separate Account Assets and Liabilities- The separate account assets included on the quantitative disclosures fair value hierarchy table are comprised of short-term investments, equity securities, and available-for-sale fixed maturity. Equity securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. Short-term investments and available-for-sale fixed maturity securities are classified as Level 2 measurements. These classifications for separate account assets reflect the same fair value level methodologies as listed above as they are derived from the same vendors and follow the same process.
The separate account assets also include cash and cash equivalents, investment funds, accrued investment income, and receivables for securities. These are not included in the quantitative disclosures of fair value hierarchy table.
Market Risk Benefits - MRBsare valued using stochastic models that incorporate a spread reflecting our non-performance risk. The key assumptions for calculating the fair value of the MRBs are market assumptions such as equity market returns, interest rate levels, market volatility and correlations and policyholder behavior assumptions such as lapse, mortality, utilization and withdrawal patterns. Risk margins are included in the policyholder behavior assumptions. The assumptions are based on a combination of historical data and actuarial judgment. MRBs are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements as the fair value is based on unobservable inputs. The following significant unobservable inputs are used for measuring the fair value:
(1)Utilization - The utilization assumption represents the percentage of policyholders who will elect to receive lifetime income benefit payments in a given year. The range and weighted average of this assumption can vary from year to year depending on the characteristics of policies in a given cohort within the rate.
(2)Option budget - The option budget assumption represents the expected cost of annual call options we will purchase in the future.
(3)Nonperformance risk - The nonperformance risk assumption impacts the discount rate used in the discounted future cash flow valuation and includes our own credit risk based on the current market credit spreads for debt-like instruments we have issued and are available in the market. Additionally, the nonperformance risk assumption includes the counterparty credit risk used in the fair value measurement of ceded market risk benefits which is determined using the current market credit spreads based on the counterparty credit rating.
(4)Mortality rates - The mortality rate assumptions are set based on a combination of company and industry experience, adjusted for improvement factors. Mortality rates vary by age and by demographic characteristics such as gender.
(5)Lapse rates - The lapse rate assumptions represent the expected rate of full surrenders which are set based on product type or feature and whether a policy is subject to surrender charges.
32
Derivative Assets/Derivative Liabilities
Equity-index options - Equity index options are valued using industry accepted valuation models and are adjusted for the nonperformance risk of each counterparty net of any collateral held. Inputs include market volatility and risk-free interest rates and are used in income valuation techniques in arriving at a fair value for each option contract. The nonperformance risk for each counterparty is based upon its credit default swap rate. We have no performance obligations related to the call options purchased to fund our fixed index annuity and equity-indexed universal life policy liabilities. Certain equity-index options are valued based on vendor sourced prices and are classified as Level 3 measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs by the vendor.
Foreign exchange forwards -Foreign exchange forwards are valued using observable market inputs, including forward currency exchange rates. These are classified as Level 2 measurements.
Policyholders' Account Balances - Embedded Derivatives-The fair value of the embedded derivative component of our fixed index annuity policyholder account balance reserve is estimated at each valuation date by (i) projecting policy contract values and minimum guaranteed contract values over the expected lives of the contracts and (ii) discounting the excess of the projected contract value amounts at the applicable risk free interest rates adjusted for our nonperformance risk related to those liabilities.
The following significant unobservable inputs are used for measuring the fair value:
(1)Option budget
(2)Lapse rates
(3)Nonperformance risk
Funds Withheld for Reinsurance Liabilities - We estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative based on the fair value of the assets supporting the funds withheld payable under modified coinsurance and funds withheld coinsurance reinsurance agreements. The fair value of the embedded derivative is classified as Level 3 based on valuation methods used for the assets held supporting the reinsurance agreements.
Separately Managed Accounts - The separately managed account manager uses the mid-point of a range from a third-party to price these securities. Discounted cash flows (yield analysis) and market transactions approach are used in the valuation. They use discount rates which is considered an unobservable input.

Fair Value Information About Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value
Information about fair value estimates for financial instruments not measured at fair value is discussed below:
Mortgage Loans - The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses on a loan-by-loan basis by applying a discount rate to expected cash flows from future installment and balloon payments. The discount rate takes into account general market trends and specific credit risk trends for the individual loan. Factors used to arrive at the discount rate include inputs from spreads based on U.S. Treasury notes and the loan's credit quality, region, property-type, lien priority, payment type and current status.
Private Loans - The fair value of private loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses on a loan-by-loan basis by applying a discount rate to expected cash flows from future installment and balloon payments. The discount rate takes into account general market trends and specific credit risk trends for the individual loan. For certain of our collateral loans, we have concluded the carrying value approximates fair value.
35
Policy Loans - The carrying value of policy loans is the outstanding balance plus any accrued interest. Due to the collateralized nature of policy loans such that they cannot be separated from the policy contracts, the unpredictable timing of repayments and the fact that settlement is at outstanding value, the carrying value of policy loans approximates fair value.
Long Term Borrowings - Long term borrowings are carried at outstanding principal balance. The carrying value approximates fair value because the carrying value represents the amount owing and payable to the creditor at the reporting date. Fair values for subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations principally based on observable inputs including our incremental borrowing rates, which reflect our credit rating, for similar types of borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the debt being valued.
Notes Payable - Notes payable are carried at outstanding principal balance. For a majority of the notes, the carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value because the underlying interest rates approximate market rates at the reporting date.
Other Invested Assets - FHLB common stock is carried at cost which approximates fair value. The fair value of our COLI is equal to the cash surrender value of the policies.
Policyholder's Account Balances & Reinsurance Recoverables and Deposit Assets - The fair values of the policyholder account balances' not involving significant mortality or morbidity risks, are stated at the cost we would incur to extinguish the liability (i.e., the cash surrender value) as these contracts are generally issued without an annuitization date. The deposit assets related to the ceded annuity benefit reserves have fair values determined in a similar fashion. For period-certain annuity benefit contracts, the fair value is determined by discounting the benefits at the interest rates currently in effect for newly issued immediate annuity contracts. All of the fair values presented within these categories fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as most of the inputs are unobservable market data.

12. Reinsurance
The Company reinsures its business through a diversified group of reinsurers. The Company remains liable to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. The Company monitors trends in arbitration and any litigation outcomes with its reinsurers. Collectability of reinsurance balances is evaluated by monitoring ratings and the financial strength of its reinsurers. The effect of reinsurance on net premiums earned and claims incurred and policyholder benefits paid are as follows:

Effective July 1, 2024, certain of American National's subsidiaries entered into reinsurance agreements with certain subsidiaries of Reinsurance Group of America Inc. ("RGA"), a third party reinsurance group. In accordance with the terms of this agreement, such American National subsidiaries ceded to the reinsurer, on a coinsurance basis, mortality risk and approximately $3.4 billion of reserves associated with a diversified block of term life insurance, whole life insurance, indexed universal life insurance, universal life insurance and universal life insurance with secondary guarantee. Policies written by American National Life Insurance Company, American National Life Insurance Company of Texas and Garden State Life Insurance Company are ceded on a 100% quota share basis, while policies written by American National Life Insurance Company of New York are ceded on an 80% quota share basis. This reinsurance transaction represents approximately half of the Company's in-force life business. As part of this reinsurance transaction, the Company recognized a deferred gain of $1.6 billion, which is recorded in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of September 30, 2024. This deferred gain represents the unamortized portion of the cost of reinsurance related to the in-force business which will be amortized over the life of the underlying reinsured policies. The deferred gain represents primarily the difference between liabilities ceded and assets transferred as part of the reinsurance agreement. The amortization of the deferred gain recognized in Other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $9 million.
There were no other significant changes to third party reinsurance agreements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
We calculate estimated losses on reinsurance recoverable balances by determining an expected loss ratio. The expected loss ratio is based on industry historical loss experience and expected recovery timing adjusted for certain current and forecasted environmental factors management believes to be relevant. Estimated losses related to our reinsurance recoverable balances was $0 million as of September 30, 2024.
The company incurred risk charge fees of $5 million and $8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, in relation to reinsurance agreements.
Intercompany Reinsurance Agreements
The Company executes various intercompany reinsurance agreements between its subsidiaries, including off shore entities, for purposes of managing regulatory statutory capital and risk. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements.
These intercompany transactions are executed with wholly-owned reinsurance subsidiaries, AEL Re Vermont, AEL Re Vermont II, Freestone Re Ltd. ("Freestone"), and AEL Re Bermuda Ltd. The reinsurance agreements with AEL Re Vermont and AEL Re Vermont II involve reinsuring a portion of lifetime income benefit rider payments in excess of policy fund values. These entities then entered into third-party excess of loss agreements which are permitted to be an admitted asset on the statutory balance sheets. The reinsurance agreement with AEL Re Bermuda Ltd. is a coinsurance agreement to reinsure a portion of fixed index annuities on a funds withheld basis. The reinsurance agreements with Freestone involve reinsuring certain group annuity contracts issued under PRT transactions and certain single premium immediate annuities, fixed deferred annuities, fixed index annuities and multi-year guarantee annuities.

Value of Business Acquired
The VOBA asset is included in "Deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and value of business acquired" in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The amortization of VOBA asset is recorded in "Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and value of business acquired" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table provides the projected VOBA asset amortization expenses for a five-year period and thereafter:

No impairment expenses of intangible assets were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. We estimate that our intangible assets do not have any significant residual value in determining their amortization. Amortization expenses for definite-lived intangible assets were $20 million and $33 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $0 million and $1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

16. Acquisitions
On May 2, 2024, in conjunction with the Merger, Brookfield Wealth Solutions indirectly acquired all of AEL's issued and outstanding common stock not already owned for a consideration of approximately $2.5 billion in cash and 28,803,599 shares of class A limited voting shares of BAM ("BAM Shares").
Accounting for the Merger is not finalized, and there remains some measurement uncertainty on the acquisition valuation, which is pending completion of a comprehensive evaluation of the net assets acquired within the next twelve months, including but not limited to identifiable intangible assets, deferred income tax assets, and policyholders' account balances. The financial statements as of September 30, 2024 reflect management's current best estimate of the purchase price allocation. Final valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the completion of the purchase price allocation will occur by the second quarter of 2025. As a result, the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, representing goodwill of $630 million as of September 30, 2024, may be adjusted in future periods. Goodwill recognized is not deductible for income tax purposes. In conjunction with the Merger and Post-Effective Merger, Brookfield Wealth Solutions agreed to indemnify ANGI for certain liabilities that could arise as a result of merger-related activities, including tax liabilities.
Following the Merger, on May 7, 2024, American National and AEL completed the Post-Effective Merger and subsequent Reincorporation. The Post-Effective Merger has been accounted for as a common control transaction as if the parent, American National, acquired the shares of its subsidiary, AEL, similar to that of a reverse acquisition without a change in basis for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. American National is therefore regarded as the predecessor reporting entity from an accounting perspective even though AEL is the surviving legal entity.
The business operations of AEL, which are now part of ANGI, contributed revenues of $1.3 billion and a net loss of $250 million to the Company for the period from May 2, 2024 to September 30, 2024. Had the Merger occurred on January 1, 2023, the consolidated unaudited pro forma revenue and net profit would be (i) $6.5 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024; (ii) $1.9 billion and $96 million income, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023; and (iii) $5.8 billion and $289 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The pro forma amounts have been calculated using the subsidiary's results and adjusting them for the revised depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to investments, property and equipment and intangible assets had applied from January 1, 2023, together with the consequential tax effects.
The current best estimate of the purchase price allocation reflects the inclusion of updated mortality, base lapse and lifetime income benefit rider utilization assumptions related to AEL's market risk benefits liability as part of its annual assumptions review which took place in the third quarter of 2024. This resulted in a $45 million increase in both the value of business acquired asset and market risk benefits liability.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized liability remeasurement impacts of $15 million, which were included in "Policyholder benefits and claims incurred" in the consolidated statements of operations. The notable changes to cash flow assumptions in the third quarter of 2024 resulted in (i) a decrease in the liability for future policy benefits related to annuity products driven by favorable mortality. The change in mortality resulted in an offsetting increase to the deferred profit liability; (ii) a decrease in the liability for future policy benefits for term life products primarily driven by favorable mortality and favorable updates to policyholder lapse behavior assumptions; and (iii) an increase in the future policy benefits liability for universal life products driven by unfavorable updates in policyholder lapse assumptions and unfavorable mortality.

In the third quarter of 2024, the Company performed its annual assumption review related to investment-type contracts and universal life-type contracts, which resulted in $60 million net increase primarily in the value of embedded derivatives related to fixed-index annuity products, which was included in "Change in fair value of insurance-related derivatives and embedded derivatives" in the consolidated statements of operations. The notable changes made to cash flow assumptions from the annual assumption review were a net increase in option budget primarily from an increase in investment portfolio rates and an increase in the utilization assumption for the lifetime income benefit riders partially offset by favorable updates to policyholder lapse behavior assumptions. In 2023, the Company performed its annual assumption review in the fourth quarter of 2023, resulting in no material changes to the value of the embedded derivative in policyholders' account balances.

In 2023, the Company performed its annual assumption review in the fourth quarter of 2023, resulting in no material changes to the market risk benefits liability.

The favorable development in 2024 was a reflection of lower-than-anticipated losses arising from commercial other, business owners, workers' compensation, and homeowners lines of business. The favorable development in 2023 was a reflection of lower-than-anticipated losses arising from agribusiness, business owners, commercial auto, and commercial other lines of business.
For short-duration health insurance claims, the total of IBNR plus expected development on reported claims included in the liability for unpaid claims as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $8 million and $4 million, respectively.

21. Notes Payable and Long Term Borrowings
On June 16, 2017, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2027 which bear interest at 5.0% per year and will mature on June 15, 2027. Contractual interest is payable semi-annually in arrears each June 15th and December 15th.
On February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a five-year, $300 million unsecured delayed draw term loan credit agreement. On July 6, 2022, we borrowed $300 million under this agreement. Interest was tied to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") adjusted for a credit spread. In May 2024, the Company repaid in full all indebtedness and other obligations outstanding under, and terminated, this credit agreement using proceeds of the term loan issued on May 7, 2024 that is summarized below.
On May 25, 2022, the Company assumed a term loan agreement with a consortium of banks providing for five-year term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion maturing May 23, 2027 (the "Term Loan Agreement"). Interest is tied to SOFR and reset and paid quarterly. On June 13, 2022, the Company repaid $500 million under the Term Loan Agreement, and in May 2024 repaid the remaining $1.0 billion outstanding using proceeds of the term loan issued on May 7, 2024 that is summarized below. The Term Loan Agreement was subsequently terminated.
In June 2022, the Company issued $500 million of 6.144% unsecured Senior Notes maturing June 13, 2032. Interest is payable in arrears on June 13 and December 13 of each year. Such notes were offered under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The proceeds from the Senior Notes were used to repay a portion of the Term Loan Agreement. The outstanding note balance was reduced by $4 million in unamortized issuance costs as of September 30, 2024. Interest payments of $0 million and $15 million were made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into a new term loan agreement with $1.9 billion borrowed under the agreement as of September 30, 2024. The term loan will mature on May 25, 2027. Interest on the amount borrowed under the term loan is tied to SOFR plus a margin and is reset and paid quarterly.
The agreements above require the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain minimum net worth covenants. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary trust (which is not consolidated) has issued fixed rate and floating rate trust preferred securities and has used the proceeds from these offerings to purchase subordinated debentures from us. We also issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for all of the common securities of the trust. The sole assets of the trust are the subordinated debentures and any interest accrued thereon. The interest payment dates on the subordinated debentures correspond to the distribution dates on the trust preferred securities issued by the trust. The trust preferred securities mature simultaneously with the subordinated debentures. Our obligations under the subordinated debentures and related agreements provide a full and unconditional guarantee of payments due under the trust preferred securities.
Following is a summary of subordinated debt obligations to the trusts at September 30, 2024:
September 30, 2024 Interest Rate Due Date
(Dollars in millions)
American Equity Capital Trust II $ 84 5 % June 1, 2047
The principal amount of the subordinated debentures issued by us to American Equity Capital Trust II ("Trust II") is $100 million. These debentures were assigned a fair value of $75 million at the date of issue (based upon an effective yield-to-maturity of 6.8%). The difference between the fair value at the date of issue and the principal amount is being accreted over the life of the debentures. The trust preferred securities issued by Trust II were issued to Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, which owns a majority of FBL Financial Group, Inc. ("FBL"). The consideration received by Trust II in connection with the issuance of its trust preferred securities consisted of fixed income securities of equal value which were issued by FBL.

22. Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the effective tax rates on pre-tax income were 18.8% and 109.4% respectively. For the three-month period, the Company's effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to adjustments for noncontrolling interest. For the nine-month period, the Company's effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of a deferred tax benefit related to the Bermuda corporate income tax.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rates on pre-tax income were 14.1% and 14.4% respectively. The Company's effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the same respective periods primarily due to benefits from tax-exempt investments, dividends-received deduction and tax credits.
Pillar Two and Bermuda Corporate Income Tax Regime
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") and its member countries with support from the G20, have proposed the enactment of a global minimum tax of 15% for Multinational Enterprise ("MNE") groups with global annual revenue of €750 million or more ("Pillar Two"). The Company may become subject to additional income taxes as a result of these proposals, as enacted locally across jurisdictions.
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Freestone, is incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and is not required to pay any taxes in Bermuda based upon income or capital gains. However, in December 2023, the Government of Bermuda enacted a corporate income tax ("CIT") regime, designed to align with the OECD's global minimum tax rules. Effective January 1, 2025, the regime applies a 15% CIT to Bermuda businesses that are part of MNE groups with annual revenue of €750 million or more. As a result of this new regime, the Company recognized a deferred tax benefit of $35 million as of December 31, 2023.
The new Bermuda CIT introduced an economic transition adjustment ("ETA") which allows for an elective increase or decrease in the tax basis of assets and liabilities (excluding goodwill) held as of September 30, 2023 to fair value. It also allows for the recognition of a DTA related to the value of "identifiable intangible assets" that may be amortized over 10 years, beginning January 1, 2025. Examples of identifiable intangible assets include brand and trade names, software, customer relationships and the value of in-force insurance business. On January 16, 2024, the Government of Bermuda clarified that the ETA can be applied to "customer or supplier relationships between separate legal entities, whether intragroup or with third parties". With the release of this additional guidance by the Government of Bermuda as well as the increase of forecasted taxable income in Bermuda, we recognized additional deferred tax assets of $292 million (through deferred tax expense) and $50 million (via acquisition accounting for AEL) which increased our Bermuda CIT related deferred tax asset to $377 million. The Company will continue to monitor developments prior to the commencement of this regime.
23. Stockholders' Equity
Prior to the Merger, the Company had one class of common stock with a par value of $1 per share, with 200,000,000 authorized shares and 79,240,903 outstanding shares (excluding 30,583,351 shares of treasury stock). As a result of and following the Merger and the Reincorporation, the Company had 10,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share authorized, of which all are issued and outstanding. See Note 1 - Organization and Description of the Companyfor additional information.
On November 21, 2019, AEL issued 16,000 shares of 5.95% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A ("Series A") with a $1.00 par value per share and a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of $389 million.
On June 10, 2020, AEL issued 12,000 shares of 6.625% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B ("Series B") with a $1.00 par value per share and a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of $290 million.
Dividends on the Series A and Series B preferred stock are payable on a non-cumulative basis only when, as and if declared, quarterly in arrears on the first day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on March 1, 2020 for Series A and on December 1, 2020 for Series B. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we paid dividends totaling $6 million and $12 million for Series A preferred stock and $5 million and $10 million for Series B preferred stock, respectively. The Series A and Series B preferred stock are not subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund, retirement fund, purchase fund or similar provisions.

25. Statutory Financial Information and Dividend Restrictions
The Company's insurance subsidiaries are subject to insurance laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which they operate, including the U.S. and Bermuda. Certain regulations include restrictions that limit the dividends or other distributions, such as loans or cash advances, available to stockholders without prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities. The differences between financial statements prepared for insurance regulatory authorities and GAAP financial statements vary by jurisdiction.
U.S. Statutory Requirements
The Company's U.S. insurance subsidiaries prepare financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of each subsidiary's state of domicile, which include certain components of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") Statutory Accounting Principles ("SAP"). NAIC SAP is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting practices continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices. Modifications by the various state insurance departments may impact the statutory capital and surplus of our insurance subsidiaries.
55
Statutory accounting differs from GAAP primarily by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, and valuing securities on a different basis. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting principles and are charged directly to surplus.
Our U.S. insurance subsidiaries are subject to certain Risk Based Capital ("RBC") requirements as defined by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). RBC requirements require a certain amount of capital and surplus to be maintained based upon various risk factors of the insurance company. During the reporting periods presented, our insurance subsidiaries met the minimum RBC requirements.
Bermuda Statutory Requirements
The Company's Bermuda-domiciled insurance subsidiaries, which include AEL Re Bermuda and Freestone, are licensed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority ("BMA"). These subsidiaries prepare statutory financial statements that are generally equivalent to GAAP financial statements, with the exception of prudential filters, which include adjustments to eliminate assets non-admissible for solvency purposes, and permitted practices granted by the BMA.
These Bermuda-domiciled subsidiaries are subject to the Insurance Act 1978, as amended (the "Bermuda Insurance Act"). Under the Bermuda Insurance Act, these subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum statutory capital and surplus equal to the greater of a minimum solvency margin and the enhanced capital requirement as determined by the BMA. The Company's insurance subsidiaries in Bermuda met the minimum solvency and minimum liquidity regulatory requirements, which include the Enhanced Capital Requirement ("ECR"), calculated based on the Bermuda Solvency Capital Requirement ("BSCR") model, which is a risk-based model that takes into account the risk characteristics of different aspects of the insurance company's business.

Statutory net income (loss) for the periods ended September 30, 2024 presented above represent earnings reported to its regulator and are inclusive of earnings prior to the Company's acquisition of AEL.
Prescribed and Permitted Statutory Accounting Practices
American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company (AEILIC) is domiciled in the State of Iowa and is regulated by the Iowa Insurance Division. AEILIC uses prescribed statutory accounting practice which allows for call option derivatives instruments hedging the interest credited on fixed indexed annuities to be recorded at amortized cost and the related fixed index annuity reserve to account for the next index crediting term to be valued at zero. The use of the prescribed statutory accounting practice resulted in lower statutory capital and surplus of $350 million as of September 30, 2024.
AEILIC cedes certain lifetime income benefit rider payments in excess of the policyholder's account balances to two subsidiaries in Vermont, AEL Re Vermont and AEL Re Vermont II. The Vermont subsidiaries have been granted permitted practices from the Vermont Department to recognize as an admitted asset an excess of loss reinsurance agreement with a third party which reinsures the lifetime income benefit rider payments in excess of policyholder funds values upon exhaustion of a funds withheld account balance. The permitted practice increased the statutory capital of AEL by $3.6 billion at September 30, 2024. Without such permitted practices, the risk based capital at the Vermont entities would fall below the minimum regulatory requirements.
56
American National had previously been granted a permitted practice from the Texas Department of Insurance to recognize an admitted asset related to the notional value of coverage defined in an excess of loss reinsurance agreement. The permitted practice was terminated effective July 1, 2024 upon the execution of the reinsurance treaty with RGA. For the comparative December 31, 2023 period, the permitted practice increased the statutory capital and surplus of American National $548 million. The statutory capital and surplus of American National would have remained above authorized control level RBC had it not used the permitted practice.
One of American National's insurance subsidiaries has been granted a permitted practice from the Missouri Department of Insurance to record as the valuation of its investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary that is the attorney-in-fact for a Texas domiciled insurer, the statutory capital and surplus of the Texas domiciled insurer. This permitted practice increases the statutory capital and surplus of American National Property And Casualty Company ("ANPAC") by $63 million and $71 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The statutory capital and surplus of both ANPAC and American National Lloyds Insurance Company would have remained above the authorized control level RBC had it not used the permitted practice.
Statutory Dividend Restrictions
The ability of the Company's insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends, or other distributions, to their parent companies (and ultimately the Company) is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the jurisdictions of domicile that regulate these insurance subsidiaries, and each jurisdiction typically has calculations for the amount of dividends that an insurance company can pay without the prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities.
The following provides a summary of statutory restrictions on the payment of dividends for the Company's insurance subsidiaries in various jurisdictions:
U.S. insurance entities - Various state insurance laws restrict the amount that may be transferred to the parent company by its insurance subsidiaries in the form of dividends without prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities. These restrictions are based, in part, on the prior year's statutory income and surplus. In general, dividends up to specified levels are considered ordinary and may be paid without prior regulatory approval. Dividends in larger amounts, or extraordinary dividends, are subject to the approval by the insurance commissioner of the applicable state of domicile.
The following are dividend restrictions applicable to American Equity's U.S. insurance subsidiaries:
•American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company and Eagle Life Insurance Company are permitted without prior approval of the Iowa Insurance Division to pay total dividends of up to $373 million and $30 million during 2024, respectively.
•American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company of New York is permitted without prior approval of the New York State Department of Financial Services to pay total dividends of up to $0 million during 2024.
The following are dividend restrictions applicable to American National's U.S. insurance subsidiaries:
•American National Insurance Company ("ANICO") is permitted without prior approval of the Texas Department of Insurance to pay total dividends of up to $236 million during 2024.
•ANPAC is permitted without prior approval of the Missouri Department of Insurance to pay total dividends of up to $74 million during 2024.
•American National Life Insurance Company of New York and Farm Family Casualty Insurance Company are permitted without prior approval of the New York State Department of Financial Services to pay total dividends of up to $33 million and $62 million during 2024, respectively.
Bermuda insurance entities - Under the Bermuda Insurance Act, Bermuda insurance entities are generally prohibited from declaring or paying, in any financial year, dividends of more than 25% of its prior financial year's total statutory capital and surplus unless it files with the BMA an affidavit signed by at least two directors and the principal representative in Bermuda stating that it will continue to meet its relevant margins.

27. Segment Reporting
Management organizes the business into four reporting segments:
•Annuity - consists of fixed, fixed index, and variable annuity products as well as PRT contracts. Products are primarily sold through independent agents, brokers, and financial institutions, along with multiple-line and career agents.
•Life - consists of whole, term, universal, indexed and variable life insurance. Products are primarily sold through career, multiple-line, and independent agents as well as direct marketing channels.
•Property and Casualty - consists of personal, agricultural and targeted commercial coverages and credit-related property insurance. Products are primarily sold through multiple-line and independent agents or managing general agents. There are also small amounts of Health insurance, consisting of Medicare Supplement, stop-loss, other supplemental health products and credit disability insurance. Products are typically distributed through independent agents and managing general underwriters.
•Corporate and Other - consists of net investment income from investments and certain expenses not allocated to the insurance segments and revenues and related expenses from non-insurance operations.
All revenues and expenses specifically attributable to policy transactions are recorded directly to the appropriate operating segment. Revenues and expenses not specifically attributable to policy transactions are allocated to each segment as follows:
•Recurring income from bonds and mortgage loans is allocated based on the assets allocated to each segment at the average yield available from these assets.
•Net investment income from all other assets is allocated to the insurance segments in accordance with the amount of capital allocated to each segment, with the remainder recorded in the Corporate and Other segment.
•Expenses are charged to segments through direct identification and allocations based upon various factors.
The results of operations measured as the income before federal income taxes and other items by operating segments are summarized below.

28. Financial Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding unfunded commitments to purchase, expand or improve real estate and to fund mortgage loans, private loans and investment funds of $3.3 billion.
In addition, the subsidiaries of the Company had outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $4 million as of September 30, 2024.
The Company's subsidiaries lease office space, technological equipment and automobiles. The remaining long-term lease commitments as of September 30, 2024 were approximately $32 million and are included in the Company's Statements of Financial Position within "Other liabilities".
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Agreements
The Company has access to the FHLB's financial services including advances that provide an attractive funding source for short-term borrowing and for access to other funding agreements. As of September 30, 2024, certain municipal bonds and collateralized mortgage obligations with a fair value of approximately $836 million and commercial mortgage loans of approximately $1.2 billion were on deposit with the FHLB as collateral for borrowing. As of September 30, 2024, the collateral provided borrowing capacity of approximately $1.6 billion. The deposited securities and commercial mortgage loans are included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position within "Available-for-sale fixed maturity securities" and "Mortgage loans on real estate", respectively.
Litigation
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits concerning alleged breaches of contracts, various employment matters, allegedly deceptive insurance sales and marketing practices, and miscellaneous other causes of action arising in the ordinary course of operations. Certain lawsuits include claims for compensatory and punitive damages. We provide accruals for these items to the extent we deem the losses probable and reasonably estimable. After reviewing these matters with legal counsel, based upon information presently available, management is of the opinion that the ultimate resultant liability, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the statements of financial position, liquidity or results of operations; however, assessing the eventual outcome of litigation necessarily involves forward-looking speculation as to judgments to be made by judges, juries and appellate courts in the future.
61
Such speculation warrants caution, as the frequency of large damage awards, which bear little or no relation to the economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, continues to create the potential for an unpredictable judgment in any given lawsuit. These lawsuits are in various stages of development, and future facts and circumstances could result in management changing its conclusions. It is possible that, if the defenses in these lawsuits are not successful, and the judgments are greater than management can anticipate, the resulting liability could have a material impact on the Company's financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. With respect to the existing litigation, management currently believes that the possibility of a material judgment adverse to the Company is remote. Accruals for losses are established whenever they are probable and reasonably estimable. If no one estimate within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, an accrual is recorded based on the lowest amount of the range.
29. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated all events and transactions through November 14, 2024, the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
On October 2, 2024, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Senior Notes"). The 2029 Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.750% per year and will mature on October 1, 2029. The Company will pay interest on the 2029 Senior Notes semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2025. At the Company's option, the 2029 Senior Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, prior to their maturity at the applicable redemption price, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date for the 2029 Senior Notes. We used the net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under our Term Loan Credit Facility.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we reported total net premiums of $888 million, compared to net premiums of $784 million for the same period in 2023. The increase of $104 million is primarily due to continued growth in the PRT business.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 vs. 2023
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we reported total net premiums of $3.0 billion, compared to net premiums of $2.6 billion for the same period in 2023. The increase of $470 million is primarily due to growth within the annuities segment as we continue to scale our PRT business.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we reported total gross annuity sales of $4.1 billion, compared to gross annuity sales of $1.6 billion for the same period in 2023. The increase of $2.5 billion is primarily due to the addition of fixed index annuity deposits generated by American Equity subsequent to the completion of the acquisition as well as strong fixed rate annuity and PRT sales.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 vs. 2023
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we reported total gross annuity sales of $9.0 billion, compared to gross annuity sales of $4.9 billion in the prior year period.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 vs. 2023
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we reported net loss of $(288) million, compared to net income of $54 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease of $(342) million was primarily due to an increase in the change in fair value of insurance-related derivatives and embedded derivatives and an increase in the change in fair value of market risk benefits as a result of equity market and interest rate movements. Additionally, there was an increase in policyholder benefits and claims incurred due to growth in the PRT business and an increase in interest sensitive contract benefits and operating expenses which were primarily driven by the inclusion of American Equity following the acquisition. Those impacts were partially offset by an increase in net investment income and other policy revenue primarily due to the inclusion of American Equity following the acquisition.
Net premiums and other policy revenue were $1.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $890 million for the same period in 2023. The increase of $206 million was primarily due to an increase in other policy revenue which reflects surrender fee and rider fee income recognized on annuity policies added following the acquisition of American Equity as well as strong sales in the PRT business.
Net investment income increased by $649 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Net investment income comprise interest and dividends received on financial instruments, equity investments and other miscellaneous fee income. The increase in 2024 was driven by the increase in assets under management following the acquisition of American Equity as well as the continued growth in the existing investment portfolio and the rotation into higher yielding investment strategies.
We recorded $(128) million of investment related losses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $116 million compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in realized losses on investments driven by the transfer of assets pursuant to RGA reinsurance transaction which was effective July 1, 2024.
Policyholder benefits and claims incurred were $846 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $717 million for the same period in 2023. The increase of $129 million was primarily due to an increase in growth of the PRT business which resulted in higher reserves. This was partially offset by a decreased claims incurred due to the impact of business ceded to RGA subsequent to the effectuation of the reinsurance transaction.
67
Interest sensitive contract benefits represent interest credited to policyholders' account balances from our investment contracts with customers. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, interest sensitive contract benefits increased by $390 million compared to the same period in 2023, driven mainly by an increase in the in-force block of annuity business following the acquisition of American Equity.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and value of business acquired increased by $153 million compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in the amortization of VOBA due to the increase in the VOBA asset following the acquisition of American Equity as well as the continued growth of the annuity business which increases the deferred acquisition cost asset.
Change in fair value of insurance-related derivatives and embedded derivatives increased by $290 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the impact of interest rates and equity market performance on the fair value of the embedded derivatives and equity-indexed options and an update to the short term option budget assumption used in the calculation of the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with fixed index annuity products.
Change in fair value of market risk benefits represents the mark-to-market movements of our liability based on protection to the policyholder from capital market risk. The increase in the fair value of market risk benefits of $148 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily due to the impact of interest rates and equity markets on the valuation of these liabilities as well as the net impact of updates to the option budget assumption and policyholder lapse assumption used in the calculation of the fair value of market risk benefits. Additionally, the market risk benefit liabilities increased as a result of the acquisition of American Equity leading to increases in the change in the fair value of these liabilities.
Operating expenses were $228 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $147 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of $81 million. The increase was primarily driven by the inclusion of operating expenses from American Equity subsequent to the acquisition.
The increase of $22 million of interest expense on borrowings compared to the same period in 2023 was mainly due to increased borrowings with the new term loan entered into in May 2024 as well as the acquisition of American Equity which included legacy senior notes and subordinated debt.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 vs. 2023
The results of operations discussed below comprise results for American National for all periods presented and results for American Equity for the period May 2, 2024 to September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we reported net income of $80 million, compared to a net income of $163 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in the change in fair value of insurance-related derivatives and embedded derivatives and an increase in the change in fair value of market risk benefits as a result of equity market and interest rate movements. Additionally, there was an increase in policyholder benefits and claims incurred due to growth in the PRT business and an increase in interest sensitive contract benefits and operating expenses due to the inclusion of American Equity following the acquisition. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in net investment income and other policy revenue due to the inclusion of American Equity.
Net premiums and other policy revenue of $3.5 billion increased by $668 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to growth in the PRT business partially offset by an increase in ceded premiums with the cession of the specialty market group block of business beginning in Q1 2024. Additionally, there was an increase in other policy revenue which reflects surrender fee and rider fee income recognized on annuity policies added following the acquisition of American Equity.
Net investment income increased by $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in assets under management following the acquisition of American Equity as well as the continued growth in the existing investment portfolio and the rotation into higher yielding investment strategies.
The Company incurred investment related losses of $160 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $32 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in investment losses of $128 million was primarily due to realized losses on investments driven by the transfer of assets pursuant to the RGA reinsurance transaction which was effective July 1, 2024.
Policyholder benefits and claims incurred increased by $556 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily due to an increase in growth of the PRT business which resulted in higher reserves. Additionally, there was an increase in catastrophe claims on the property and casualty business due to weather related incidents. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in claims incurred due to the impact of business ceded to RGA beginning in Q2 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, interest sensitive contract benefits increased compared to the same period in 2023 by $730 million which was primarily driven by an increase in the in-force block of annuity business following the acquisition of American Equity.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and value of business acquired increased by $250 million compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in the amortization of VOBA due to the increase in the VOBA asset following the acquisition of American Equity as well as the continued growth of the annuity business which increases the deferred acquisition cost asset.
68
Change in fair value of insurance-related derivatives and embedded derivatives increased by $292 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the impact of interest rates and equity market performance on the fair value of the embedded derivatives and equity-indexed options and an update to the short term option budget assumption used in the calculation of the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with fixed index annuity products.
The increase in the change in fair value of market risk benefit of $313 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was primarily due to the impact of interest rates and equity markets on the valuation of these liabilities as well as the net impact of updates to the option budget assumption and policyholder lapse assumption used in the calculation of the fair value of market risk benefits. Additionally, the market risk benefit liabilities increased as a result of the acquisition of American Equity leading to increases in the change in the fair value of these liabilities.
Operating expenses increased by $216 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily driven by transaction expenses incurred related to the acquisition of American Equity as well as an increase associated with five months of operating expenses from American Equity subsequent to the acquisition.
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $41 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily as a result of increased borrowings with the new term loan entered into in May 2024 as well as the acquisition of American Equity which included legacy senior notes and subordinated debt.
Distributable Operating Earnings
We measure operating performance primarily using Distributable Operating Earnings ("DOE") which measures our ability to acquire net insurance assets at a positive margin, and invest these assets at a return that is greater than the cost of policyholder liabilities.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 vs. 2023
Annuity - DOE within our annuity business represents contribution from both our retail and institutional platforms. DOE increased by $247 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to earnings contributed from AEL as well as increased investment income from our continued deployment into higher yielding investment strategies.
Life - DOE decreased by $(22) million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease is primarily driven by the impact of the RGA reinsurance treaty executed during the quarter.
Property and Casualty - DOE increased by $31 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was driven by improvements in our loss experience arising from underwriting actions implemented over the past twelve months.
Corporate and Other - DOE decreased by $(36) million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by increased interest expenses due to debt assumed and raised through the acquisition of AEL.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 vs. 2023
Annuity - DOE increased by $386 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to earnings contributed from AEL, the scale-up of our U.S. PRT business as well as increased investment income from our continued deployment into higher yielding investment strategies.
Life - DOE increased by $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was driven by improved investment income from our continued deployment into higher yielding investment strategies, partially offset by the impact of the RGA reinsurance treaty executed during the third quarter.
Property and Casualty - DOE increased by $49 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was driven by improvements in loss experience arising from underwriting actions implemented since the prior year period.
69
Corporate and Other - DOE decreased by $(85) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by increases in interest expenses due to debt assumed and raised through the acquisition of AEL.

Total equity 9,982 5,899
Total liabilities and equity $ 123,659 $ 35,885
September 30, 2024 vs. December 31, 2023
Total assets increased by $87.8 billion during the year to $123.7 billion. The increase primarily related to the acquisition of $81.2 billion of assets from American Equity as well as additional deployment of cash associated with annuity and PRT sales during the year.
Total investments increased by $47.8 billion from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024. The increase primarily relates to the acquisition of $43.0 billion of investments from American Equity as well as the deployment of excess cash and cash from new sales into investments during the year.
70
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $10.7 billion from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024. The increase primarily relates to the acquisition of $13.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents from American Equity partially offset by the impact of deploying excess cash into investments subsequent to the acquisition.
Deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), deferred sales inducements ("DSI") and value of business acquired ("VOBA") are capitalized costs directly related to writing new policyholder contracts and include the VOBA intangible assets. During the year, the balance increased by $7.4 billion primarily driven by the addition of $7.2 billion of VOBA related to the acquisition of American Equity. Additionally, deferrals associated with writing new business contributed to an increase of $1.1 billion of DAC and DSI assets, partially offset by $650 million of amortization of DAC, DSI and VOBA recorded during the year.
Deferred tax assets decreased by $3 million from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024. The decrease is due to changes in estimates for deferred tax assets associated with our Bermuda subsidiaries, including economic transition adjustments, which allow for elective fair value adjustments to the tax basis of assets and liabilities and increased unrealized gains on investment securities, partially offset by the addition of a deferred tax liability from the acquisition of American Equity.
Reinsurance recoverables and deposit assets are estimated amounts due to the Company from reinsurers and include reinsurance receivables and recoverables from reinsurers and deposit assets associated with reinsurance agreements. The amount increased by $17.6 billion in the year primarily due to the acquisition of American Equity, which contributed $15.0 billion of reinsurance recoverables and deposit assets, and the RGA reinsurance transaction executed in Q3 2024, which contributed approximately $3.0 billion of reinsurance recoverables. These increases were slightly offset by a decrease in reinsurance recoverable due to an increase in benefits and surrenders ceded for existing American Equity reinsurance agreements.
Intangible assets increased by $1.6 billion during the year, primarily due to the acquisition of American Equity which resulted in $1.6 billion of additional intangible assets primarily associated with the distributor relationships, trade name, and insurance licenses.
Other assets increased by $1.3 billion during the year to $1.9 billion. The balance includes current tax asset, market risk benefit asset, prepaid pension assets, as well as other miscellaneous receivables, and includes an increase of $670 million as a result of the acquisition of American Equity.
Goodwill increased $633 million during 2024 as a result of the acquisition of American Equity.
Separate account assets and liabilities both increased by $113 million during 2024, primarily due to net realized gains of underlying assets of $156 million and policyholder deposits of $55 million, partially offset by $103 million of policyholder benefits and withdrawals.
Future policy benefits and policyholders' account balances increased by $66.3 billion during 2024 primarily due to the acquisition of American Equity which contributed to an increase in $61.8 billion. Additionally, there was an increase associated with the net impact of new premiums and interest credited to policyholders net of surrenders and withdrawals.
Market risk benefits increased by $3.7 billion during 2024 primarily due to the acquisition of American Equity which contributed to an increase of $3.0 billion. Additionally, the market risk benefits increased subsequent to the acquisition due to the impact of changes in interest rates and equity markets and as a result of the net impact of updates to the option budget assumption and policyholder lapse assumption used in the calculation of the fair value of market risk benefits.
Notes payable and long term borrowings increased by $1.5 billion during 2024 primarily due to the execution of a new term loan agreement in May of 2024 which resulted in $1.9 billion of additional borrowings. This increase is partially offset by the payoff of a historical term loan with the proceeds of the new term loan issued upon acquisition.
Funds withheld for reinsurance liabilities increased by $8.8 billion during 2024 due to the acquisition of American Equity which held this liability as a result of certain coinsurance funds withheld and modified coinsurance reinsurance agreements which were in place prior to the acquisition.
Other liabilities increased by $3.2 billion during 2024. The balance includes the reinsured market risk benefits liability, accrued interest on debt and other miscellaneous payables. The increase during 2024 is primarily due to the acquisition of American Equity which contributed an increase of $2.1 billion and the $1.5 billion deferred gain associated with the RGA reinsurance transaction executed in Q3 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
We strive to maintain sufficient financial liquidity at all times so that we are able to participate in attractive opportunities as they arise, better withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances within our operating subsidiaries and maintain payments to policyholders. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from our operations and access to the Company's third-party credit facilities. We proactively manage our liquidity position to meet liquidity needs and continue to develop relationships with lenders who provide borrowing capacity at competitive rates, while looking to minimize adverse impacts on investment returns. We look to structure the ownership of our assets to enhance our ability to monetize them to provide additional liquidity, if needed. Our liquidity for the periods noted below consisted of the following:
September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
(Dollars in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents $ 13,873 $ 3,192
Liquid financial assets 26,897 10,373
Undrawn credit facilities 1,577 646
Total liquidity (1) $ 42,347 $ 14,211
(1)Liquidity is a measure of our liquidity position and includes cash and cash equivalents, undrawn revolving credit facilities and liquid financial assets in both our corporate entities and regulated insurance entities.
Today, we have significant liquidity within our insurance portfolios, giving us flexibility to secure attractive investment opportunities. In addition to a portfolio of highly liquid financial assets, our operating companies have additional access to liquidity from sources such as the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no drawings and a total of $1.6 billion undrawn commitment available related to this program.
Liquidity within our insurance subsidiaries may be restricted from time to time due to regulatory constraints. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's total liquidity was $42.3 billion, which included $42 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
The following table presents a summary of our cash flows and ending cash balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
Nine Months Ended

(Dollars in millions)
Operating activities $ 2,104 $ 676
Investing activities 6,565 (1,713)
Financing activities 2,012 1,912
Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of year 3,192 1,389
Net change during the year 10,681 875
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period $ 13,873 $ 2,264
Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we generated $2.1 billion of cash from operating activities compared to $676 million during 2023, primarily due to higher investment income from the growth in the investment portfolio, coupled with the addition of American Equity's investments.
Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we continued to rotate our investment portfolio into higher yielding investment strategies and acquired $10.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents from the acquisition of American Equity, net of cash proceeds paid. This resulted in net inflow of $6.6 billion of cash from investing activities, compared to net deployment of $1.7 billion in the prior year.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a net cash inflow of $2.0 billion from our financing activities, compared to $1.9 billion recorded in 2023. The proceeds in the current year period were mainly as a result of $1.7 billion net payments received on policyholders' account deposits, as well as debt raised through the acquisition of American Equity.
72
Financial Instruments
To the extent that we believe it is economically prudent to do so, our strategy is to hedge a portion of our equity investments and/or cash flows exposed to foreign currencies by the Company. The following key principles form the basis of our foreign currency hedging strategy:
•We leverage any natural hedges that may exist within our operations;
•We utilize local currency debt financing to the extent possible; and
•We may utilize derivative contracts to the extent that natural hedges are insufficient.
Future Capital Obligations and Requirements
As of September 30, 2024, subsidiaries of the Company had outstanding investment commitments of $3.3 billion. The funded commitments are primarily recognized as mortgage loans, private loans, investment funds, real estate and other invested assets. For additional information, see Note 28 - Financial Commitments and Contingenciesof the financial statements.

For additional information, See Note 21 - Notes Payable and Long Term Borrowingsof the financial statements.
Capital Management
Capital management is the on-going process of determining and maintaining the quantity and quality of capital appropriate to take advantage of the Company's growth opportunities, to support the risks associated with the business and to optimize shareholder returns while fully complying with the regulatory capital requirements.
The Company and its subsidiaries take an integrated approach to risk management that involves the Company's risk appetite and capital requirements. The enterprise risk management framework includes a capital management policy that describes the key processes related to capital management, which is reviewed at least annually and approved by the Board of Directors. The operating capital levels are determined by the Company's risk appetite and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment ("ORSA"). Furthermore, additional stress techniques are used to evaluate the Company's capital adequacy under sustained adverse scenarios.
The Company has determined that it is in compliance with all capital requirements as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Performance Measures Used by Management
To measure performance, we focus on net income and total assets, as well as certain non-GAAP measures, including DOE and Total Liquidity, which we believe are useful to investors to provide additional insights into assets within the business available for redeployment. Refer to the "Results of Operations", "Financial Condition," and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" sections of this MD&A for further discussion on our performance and Non-GAAP measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Non-GAAP Measures
We regularly monitor certain Non-GAAP measures that are used to evaluate our performance and analyze underlying business performance and trends. We use these measures to establish budgets and operational goals, manage our business and evaluate our performance. We also believe that these measures help investors compare our operating performance with our results in prior years. These Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial measures presented in this MD&A that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These Non-GAAP measures are not comparable to GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly described Non-GAAP measures reported by other companies, including those within our industry.
Consequently, our Non-GAAP measures should not be evaluated in isolation, but rather, should be considered together with the most directly comparable GAAP measure in our consolidated financial statements for the years presented. The Non-GAAP financial measures we present in this MD&A should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.
73
Distributable Operating Earnings
We use DOE to assess operating results and the performance of our businesses. We define DOE as net income after applicable taxes, excluding the impact of depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes related to basis and other changes, and breakage and transaction costs, as well as certain investment and insurance reserve gains and losses, including gains and losses related to asset and liability matching strategies, non-operating adjustments related to changes in cash flow assumptions for future policy benefits and change in market risk benefits. DOE is inclusive of returns on equity invested in certain variable interest entities and our share of adjusted earnings from our investments in certain associates.
DOE is a measure of operating performance that is not calculated in accordance with, and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. DOE is, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
We believe our presentation of DOE is useful to investors because it supplements investors' understanding of our operating performance by providing information regarding our ongoing performance that excludes items we believe do not directly affect our core operations. Our presentation of DOE also provides investors enhanced comparability of our ongoing performance across years.
Total Liquidity
Total Liquidity is a measure of our liquidity position and includes cash and cash equivalents, undrawn revolving credit facilities and liquid financial assets held by our regulated insurance entities.
The following table contains further details regarding our use of our Non-GAAP measures, as well as a reconciliation of net income to DOE:

(1)"Net investment gains and losses, including reinsurance funds withheld" represents mark-to-market gains (losses) on our invested assets and reinsurance funds withheld. Mark-to-market gains (losses) on our invested assets are presented as "Investment related gains (losses)" on the statements of operations. See Note 10, "Net Investment Income and Investment Related Gains (Losses)" of the financial statements for additional details. Mark-to-market gains (losses) on reinsurance funds withheld are included in "Net investment results from reinsurance funds withheld" and represent the change in fair value of the embedded derivative during the period. See Note 9, "Derivative Instruments" of the financial statements for additional details.
(2)"Mark-to-market on insurance contracts and other net assets" principally represents the mark-to-market effect on insurance-related liabilities, net of reinsurance, due to changes in market risks (e.g., interest rates, equity markets and equity index volatility) and includes depreciation expenses on investment real estate. These mark-to-market effects are primarily included in "Net investment income", "Interest sensitive contract benefits", "Change in fair value of insurance-related derivatives and embedded derivatives" and "Change in fair value of market risk benefits" on the statements of operations. See the following notes to the financial statements for additional information: (i) Note 9, "Derivative Instruments"; (ii) Note 10, "Net Investment Income and Investment Related Gains(Losses)"; (iii) Note 18, "Policyholders' Account Balances"; and (iv) Note 19, "Market Risk Benefits".
(3)Included in "Mark-to-market on insurance contracts and other net assets" are "returns on equity invested in certain variable interest entities" and "our share of adjusted earnings from our investments in certain associates" as stated in the definition of DOE. "Returns on equity invested in certain variable interest entities" primarily represent equity-accounted income from our investments in real estate partnerships and investment funds and are included in "Net investment income" on the statements of operations. Additionally, "our share of adjusted earnings from our investments in certain associates" represent our share of DOE from AEL following the announcement of our acquisition in the third quarter of 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk
Our statements of financial position within our financial statements include substantial amounts of assets and liabilities whose fair values are subject to market risks. Our significant market risks are primarily associated with interest rates and credit risk. The fair values of our investment portfolios remain subject to considerable volatility. The following sections address the significant market risks associated with our business activities.
Interest Rate Risk
Substantial and sustained increases or decreases in interest rates may cause certain market dislocations that could negatively impact our financial performance.
We manage interest rate risk through our asset liability management, which we refer to as ALM, the framework whereby the effective and key rate durations of the investment portfolio are closely matched to those of the insurance reserves. Within the context of the ALM framework, we use derivatives including interest rate swaps and futures to reduce market risk. For the annuity business, where the timing and amount of the benefit payment obligations can be readily determined, the matching of asset and liability cash flows is effectively controlled through this comprehensive duration management process.
Other Price Risk
Other price risk is the risk of variability in fair value due to movements in equity prices or other market prices such as commodity prices and credit spreads.
The Company's exposure to the equity markets is managed by sector and individual security and is intended to track the S&P 500 with minor variations. The Company mitigates the equity risk by diversification of the investment portfolio.
The Company also has equity risk associated with the equity-indexed life and annuity products the Company issues and assumes. The Company has entered into derivative transactions, primarily over-the-counter equity call options, to hedge the exposure to equity-index changes.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss from amounts owed by counterparties and arises any time funds are extended, committed, owed or invested through actual or implied contractual arrangements including reinsurance. The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk through its investments in debt securities.
We manage exposure to credit risk by establishing concentration limits by counterparty, credit rating and asset class. To further minimize credit risk, the financial condition of the counterparties is monitored on a regular basis. These requirements are outlined in our investment policy.
Insurance Risk
The Company makes assumptions and estimates when assessing insurance and reinsurance risks, and significant deviations, particularly with regards to longevity and policyholder behavior, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. All transaction terms are likely to be determined by qualitative and quantitative factors, including our estimates. If we reinsure a block of business, there can be no assurance that the transaction will achieve the results expected at the time of the block's acquisition. These transactions expose us to the risk that actual results materially differ from those estimates.
We manage insurance risk through choosing whether to purchase reinsurance for certain amounts of risk underwritten in our Annuity, Life, and Property and Casualty segments.
Legal Risk
In the future, we may be parties in actions that routinely arise out of the normal course of business, including legal actions seeking to establish liability directly through insurance contracts or indirectly through reinsurance contracts issued by our subsidiaries. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. We do not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We are also involved from time to time in other kinds of legal actions, some of which assert or may assert claims or seek to impose fines and penalties. We believe that any liability that may arise as a result of other pending legal actions will not have a material effect on our financial statements.
75
Operational Risk
Operational risk is the potential for loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events. The Company's internal control processes are supported by the maintenance of a risk register and independent internal audit review. The risk of fraud is managed through a number of processes including background checks on staff on hire, annual code of conduct confirmations, anti-bribery training and segregation of duties.
We have significant outsourcing arrangements in respect of pension administration and other functions. These arrangements are subject to agreements with formal service levels, operate within agreed authority limits and are subject to regular review by senior management. Material outsourcing arrangements are approved and monitored by the Board of Directors.
Disaster recovery and business continuity plans have also been established to manage the Company's ability to operate under adverse conditions.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024 in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the Post-Effective Merger, the Company's overall control environment and its internal control over financial reporting now incorporate the internal controls over financial reporting that continue in place for American National as well as AEL.
