+Added: With the establishment of Brooke Re in the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s hedging program was enhanced to align hedging instruments more closely with market risk benefit reserves, which resulted in higher levels of interest rate hedging consistent with the economics of our business.
+Added: In connection with this enhanced hedging approach, the Company reviewed its existing interest rate hedging instruments and determined that interest rate swaps that were historically used for duration management purposes should be recharacterized as supporting our hedging of variable annuity market risk benefits.

+Added: Prior period amounts have not been adjusted for this prospective recharacterization with respect to interest rate swaps.
+Added: Additionally, to better represent the underlying performance of our business, we have made certain reclassifications between financial statement line items within the Consolidated Income Statement and our non-GAAP financial measure of pretax adjusted operating earnings.
+Added: These reclassifications, described below, had no impact on Net Income or our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Operating Earnings.
+Added: • Operating derivative income (loss) will no longer be shown as a separate line item within pretax adjusted operating earnings, as these amounts have been reclassified to net investment income.
+Added: After recharacterizing the interest rate swaps described above, the only item remaining in operating derivatives was periodic settlements and change in settlement accruals on cross-currency swaps that are intended to hedge certain foreign denominated fixed maturity securities.
+Added: This reclassification only applies to pretax adjusted operating earnings (non-GAAP).
+Added: • Interest costs related to portfolio leverage transactions (repurchase agreements, Federal Home Loan Bank short-term advances, and cash collateral costs) were reclassified from Interest Expense to Net Investment Income.

−Removed: The adoption of LDTI resulted in a decrease in total equity of $ 3.0 billion as of the transition date of January 1, 2021, comprised of a reduction in AOCI of $ 0.4 billion and a reduction in retained earnings of $ 2.6 billion.
−Removed: The primary drivers for this impact to total equity included:
−Removed: the classification of certain benefits as market risk benefits, which were remeasured at fair value as of the transition date.
−Removed: The resulting change in the value of these benefits at the transition date, net of the related deferred tax effect, is recognized in retained earnings, with the exception of the cumulative effect of changes in non-performance risk, net of the related deferred tax effect, which is recognized in AOCI;
−Removed: changes to the discount rate used to measure liabilities for future policyholder benefits which, under LDTI, are remeasured each reporting period using current upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yields, which are generally considered to be those on single-A rated public corporate debt.
−Removed: The cumulative effect of the remeasurement of these liabilities using the transition date discount rate, net of the related deferred tax effect, is recognized in AOCI;
−Removed: the removal of certain shadow adjustments previously recorded in AOCI related to the impact of unrealized gains (losses) on investments that were included in the estimated gross profit amortization calculation for deferred acquisition costs, which, since the adoption of LDTI, are no longer recognized.

−Removed: The discount rate used to measure the liability at transition was generally lower than the rates used to measure the liability prior to the adoption of LDTI.

The following is a brief description of the Company’s reportable segments, plus its Corporate and Other segment.
Retail Annuities
−Removed: The Company’s Retail Annuities segment offers a variety of retirement income and savings products through its diverse suite of products, consisting primarily of variable annuities, fixed index annuities, fixed annuities, payout annuities, and registered index-linked annuities ("RILA").

A fixed index annuity is designed for investors who desire principal protection with the opportunity to participate in capped upside investment returns linked to a reference market index.

The financial results of the variable annuity business within the Company’s Retail Annuities segment are largely dependent on the performance of the contract holder account value, which impacts both the level of fees collected and the benefits paid to the contract holder.

+Added: The Company historically offered traditional and interest-sensitive life insurance products but discontinued new sales of life insurance products in 2012, as we believe opportunistically acquiring mature blocks of life insurance policies is a more efficient means of diversifying our in-force business than selling new life insurance products.
The profitability of the Company’s Closed Life and Annuity Blocks segment is largely driven by its historical ability to appropriately price its products and purchase appropriately priced blocks of business, as realized through underwriting, expense and net gains (losses) on derivatives and investments, and the ability to earn an assumed rate of return on the assets supporting that business.
