REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Contract Owners of
Metropolitan Life Separate Account E
and Board of Directors of
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Metropolitan Life Separate Account E (the "Separate Account") of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (the "Company") comprising each of the individual Divisions listed in Note 2A as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights in Note 7 for each of the five years in the period then ended for the Divisions, except for the Divisions included in the table below; the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the Divisions and periods indicated in the table below; and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Divisions constituting the Separate Account of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of their operations for the year then ended (or for the periods listed in the table below), the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (or for the periods listed in the table below), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or for the periods listed in the table below), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Separate Account's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.


Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian or mutual fund companies. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Separate Account's auditor since 1984.

2.  LIST OF DIVISIONS — (Concluded)

B. The following Division had no net assets during the year ended December 31, 2023:

BHFTI Brighthouse/Artisan International Division

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") applicable for variable annuity separate accounts registered as unit investment trusts, which follow the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Investment Companies.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are computed on the basis of the average cost of the investment sold. Income from dividends and realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date.

Security Valuation

A Division's investment in shares of a fund, series or portfolio of the Trusts is valued at fair value based on the closing net asset value ("NAV"). All changes in fair value are recorded as changes in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the statements of operations of the applicable Divisions. The Separate Account defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Each Division invests in shares of open-end mutual funds which calculate a daily NAV based on the fair value of the underlying securities in their portfolios. As a result, and as required by law, shares of open-end mutual funds are purchased and redeemed at their daily NAV as reported by the Trusts at the close of each business day.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820") provides that the Separate Account is not required to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. Additionally, ASC 820 does not require certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The Separate Account's investments in shares of a fund, series or portfolio of the Trusts are using NAV as a practical expedient, therefore investments are not categorized within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

Federal Income Taxes

The operations of the Separate Account form a part of the total operations of the Company and are not taxed separately. The Company is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Separate Account to the extent the earnings are credited under the Contracts. Accordingly, no charge is currently being made to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. The Company will periodically review the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the Contracts.

Annuity Payouts

Net assets allocated to Contracts in the annuity payout period are computed according to industry standard mortality tables and, if any, are shown in net assets from Contracts in payout on the statements of assets and liabilities. The assumed investment return is between 3.0 and 6.0 percent. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the Separate Account by the Company to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the Company. Annuity payouts, if any, are included in transfers for Contract benefits and terminations on the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Divisions.

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Concluded)

Purchase Payments

Purchase payments received from Contract owners by the Company are credited as accumulation units as of the end of the valuation period in which received, as provided in the prospectus for the Contracts, and are reported as Contract transactions on the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Divisions.

Net Transfers

Assets transferred by the Contract owner into or out of Divisions within the Separate Account or into or out of the fixed account, which is part of the Company's general account, are recorded on a net basis as net transfers in the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Divisions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

4.  EXPENSES & CONTRACT CHARGES

The following annual Separate Account charge paid to the Company is an asset-based charge and assessed through a daily reduction in unit values, which are recorded as administrative charges in the accompanying statements of operations of the applicable Divisions:

Administrative — The Company has responsibility for the administration of the Contracts and the Separate Account. Generally, the administrative charge is related to the maintenance, including distribution, of each Contract and the Separate Account.

The following annual Separate Account charges paid to the Company are asset-based charges and assessed through a daily reduction in unit values, which are recorded as expenses in the accompanying statements of operations of the applicable Divisions:

Mortality and Expense Risk — The mortality risk assumed by the Company is the risk that those insured may die sooner than anticipated and therefore, the Company will pay an aggregate amount of death benefits greater than anticipated. The expense risk assumed is the risk that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Contracts will exceed the amounts realized from the administrative charges assessed against the Contracts. In addition, the charge compensates the Company for the risk that the insured (the annuitant) may live longer than estimated and the Company would be obligated to pay more in income payments than anticipated.

Optional Death Benefit Rider — For an additional charge, the total death benefit payable may be increased based on increases in account value of the Contracts.

Earnings Preservation Benefit — For an additional charge, the Company will provide additional amounts at death to pay expenses that may be due upon the death of the Contract owner, unless the Contract owner is a non-natural person and then the benefit is payable upon the death of the annuitant. This amount may not be sufficient to cover expenses that the Contract owner's heirs may have to pay.

Enhanced Stepped-Up Benefit Rider — For an additional charge, the total death benefit payable may be increased based on the greater of the account balance or highest annual Contract anniversary value in the Contract or the greater of the account balance, annual increase amount or highest annual Contract anniversary value in the Contract.

Preservation and Growth Rider — For an additional charge, the Company will guarantee at a future date the Account Value (adjusted for withdrawals) will not be less than the initial Purchase Payment.

1  These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Division from the underlying fund, series, or portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets, regardless of share class, if any. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk charges, that are assessed against Contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The investment income ratio is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The recognition of investment income by the Division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund, series, or portfolio in which the Division invests. The investment income ratio is calculated as a weighted average ratio since the Division may invest in two or more share classes, within the underlying fund, series, or portfolio of the Trusts which may have unique investment income ratios.

2  These amounts represent annualized Contract expenses of each of the applicable Divisions, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to Contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund, series, or portfolio have been excluded.

3  These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, series, or portfolio, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The total return is presented as a range of minimum to maximum returns, based on the minimum and maximum returns within each product grouping of the applicable Division.

4  Due to system limitations, the Units Outstanding for this fund were increased and accordingly the Unit Values decreased during the year ended December 31, 2023. There was no impact to the net assets of the division.
