Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements of each of the sub-accounts of Separate Account A 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 each of the sub-accounts of Separate Account A 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 of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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. 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. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2023 by correspondence with the transfer agents of the investee mutual funds and the custodians. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

The Separate Account assets are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business VALIC may conduct. Net premiums from the contracts are allocated to the sub-accounts and invested in the Funds in accordance with contract owner instructions and are recorded as contract transactions in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

 

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policy

The financial statements of the Separate Account have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The Separate Account is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from assumptions used, the financial statements of the Separate Account could be materially affected.

Investments: Investments in mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value per share as determined by the respective mutual funds, which generally value their securities at fair value. Purchases and sales of shares of the Funds are made at the net asset values of such Funds. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are recognized at the date of sale and are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Dividends and capital gain distributions from the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date and reinvested upon receipt.

Reserves for Annuity Contracts in Payout: Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout period are based on industry standard mortality tables depending on the calendar year of annuitization as well as other assumptions, including provisions for the risk of adverse deviation from assumptions.

Table of Contents

SEPARATE ACCOUNT A

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

Participants are able to elect assumed interest rates between 3.00 and 6.00 percent in determining annuity payments for all contracts.

At each reporting period, the assumptions must be evaluated based on current experience, and the reserves must be adjusted accordingly. To the extent additional reserves are established due to mortality risk experience, VALIC makes payments to the Separate Account. If there are excess reserves remaining at the time annuity payments cease, the assets supporting those reserves are transferred from the Separate Account to the General Account. Transfers between the General Account and the Separate Account, if any, are disclosed as adjustments to net assets allocated to contracts in payout period in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets. Annuity benefit payments are recorded as payments for contract benefits or terminations in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Accumulation Unit: This is the basic valuation unit used to calculate the contract owner’s interest. Such units are valued daily to reflect investment performance and the prorated daily deduction for expense charges.

Income Taxes: The operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of VALIC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Under the current provisions of the Code, VALIC does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Separate Account to the extent that the earnings are credited under the contracts. As a result, no charge is currently made to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. The Separate Account is not treated as a regulated investment company under the Code. VALIC will periodically review changes in the tax law. VALIC retains the right to charge for any federal income tax incurred which is applicable to the Separate Account if the law is changed.

 

3.

Fair Value Measurements

Assets recorded at fair value in the Separate Account’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three “levels” based on the observability of valuation inputs:

 

 

Level 1— Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that the Separate Account has the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. The Separate Account does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

 

 

Level 2— Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

 

Level 3— Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value positions in Level 3. The circumstances for these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, the Separate Account makes certain assumptions about the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Separate Account assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2023 consist of investments in registered mutual funds that generally trade daily and are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, which are classified as Level 1 throughout the year. As such, no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels occurred during the year. See the Schedule of Portfolio Investments for the table presenting information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2023, and respective hierarchy levels.

 

4.

Expenses

Expense charges are applied against the current value of the Separate Account and are paid to VALIC as follows:

Separate Account Annual Charges: Deductions for the mortality and expense risk charges are calculated daily, at an annual rate, on the actual prior day’s net asset value of the underlying Funds comprising the sub-accounts attributable to the contract owners and are paid to VALIC. The mortality risk charge represents compensation to VALIC for the mortality risks assumed under the contract, which is the obligation to provide payments during the payout period for the life of the contract and to provide the standard death benefit. The expense risk charge represents compensation to VALIC for assuming the risk that the current contract administration charges will be insufficient to cover the cost of administering the contract in the future. These charges are included on the mortality and expense risk and administrative charges line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Platform Charges: In order to make certain underlying Funds available as investment options for the contract, VALIC may assess an additional charge of 0.25 percent related to those Funds that do not pay VALIC for administrative, recordkeeping and shareholder services. These charges are included as part of the mortality and expense risk and administrative charges line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Contract Maintenance Charge: During the accumulation phase, an annual contract maintenance charge is assessed by VALIC on the contract anniversary. In the event of a full surrender, a contract maintenance charge is assessed at the date of surrender and deducted from the withdrawal proceeds. The contract maintenance charge represents a reimbursement of administrative expenses incurred by VALIC related to the establishment and maintenance of the record keeping function for the sub-accounts. These charges are included as part of the contract maintenance charges line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

A contract maintenance charge of $3.75 is assessed on each contract (except those relating to Potentia, Portfolio Director Freedom Advisor, Portfolio Director Plus, and series 2-8 and 10-12 of Portfolio Director, GUP and GTS- VA, contracts within the Impact product are assessed a $30 annual maintenance charge and contracts within the Polaris Platinum Elite product are assessed a $50 annual maintenance charge, which may be waived if the Polaris Platinum Elite contract value is $75,000 or more) by VALIC on the last day of the calendar quarter in which VALIC receives the first purchase payment, and in quarterly installments thereafter during the accumulation period.

Withdrawal Charge: A withdrawal charge is applicable to certain contract withdrawals pursuant to the contract and is payable to VALIC. The withdrawal charges are included as part of the payments for contract benefits or terminations line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Separate Account Expense Reimbursements or Credits: Certain of the Funds or their affiliates have an agreement with VALIC to pay VALIC for administrative and shareholder services provided to the underlying Fund. VALIC applied these payments to reduce its charges to the sub-account investing in that Fund. In addition, VALIC currently reimburses or credits certain sub-accounts a portion of VALIC’s mortality and expense risk charges. Such crediting arrangements are voluntary and may be changed by VALIC at any time. The reimbursements are included on the reimbursements of expenses line of the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

The expense reimbursements are credited at the annual rate of 0.25 percent.

Sales and Administrative Charge: Certain purchase payments to certain products are subject to a sales and administrative charge. The percentage rate charged is based on the amount of purchase payments received. These charges are included as part of the payments received from contract owners line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Premium Tax Charge: Certain states charge taxes on purchase payments up to a maximum of 3.50 percent. Some states assess premium taxes at the time of purchase payments, while some other states assess premium taxes when annuity payments begin or upon surrender. There are certain states that do not assess premium taxes. If the law of the state requires premium taxes to be paid when purchase payments are made, VALIC will deduct the tax from such payments prior to depositing the payments into the Separate Account. Otherwise, such tax will be deducted from the account value when annuity payments begin. Premium taxes are included as part of the payments received from contract owners line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit (GMWB) Charge: The charges for the GMWB riders are assessed quarterly on all policies that have elected this option. The annualized charges by GMWB rider and by product are as follows:

(a)

Because the unit values are presented as a range of lowest to highest, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract unit values are not within the ranges presented.

 

(b)

These amounts represent the net asset value before adjustments allocated to the contracts in payout period.

 

(c)

These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the sub-account from the Funds, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the sub-account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Funds in which the sub-account invests. The average net assets are calculated using the net asset balances at the beginning and end of the year. If there are no assets at either the beginning or end of the year, the asset balance of the first or last day the sub-account had assets is used.

 

(d)

These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the sub-account, consisting of distribution, mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owners account through the redemption of units and expenses of the Funds have been excluded. For additional information on charges and deductions, see Note 4.

 

(e)

These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the Funds, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each of the periods indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. Because the total return is presented as a range of minimum and maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratios, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.

 

(f)

A blank in the lowest unit value, lowest expense ratio and lowest total return columns indicates that the lowest value is the same as the highest value.

Subsequent Events

Management considered Separate Accounts related events and transactions that occurred after the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that required additional disclosures. Management has evaluated events through the date the financial statements were issued.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company

Opinions

We have audited the accompanying statutory financial statements of The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (the “Company”), which comprise the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statutory statements of operations, of changes in capital and surplus, and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Texas Department of Insurance described in Note 2.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the accompanying financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Texas Department of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 2 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Texas Department of Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued.

Table of Contents

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

 

   

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

   

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Supplemental Information

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of selected financial data, investment risks interrogatories, summary investment schedule, and schedule of reinsurance disclosures (collectively referred to as the “supplemental schedules”) of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and for the year then ended are presented to comply with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ Annual Statement Instructions and Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual and for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves and other additional procedures, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplemental schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (“VALIC” or the “Company”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of AGC Life Insurance Company (“AGC Life” or the “Parent”), a Missouri-domiciled life insurance company, which is wholly owned by Corebridge Life Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as AIG Life Holdings, Inc.) (“Corebridge Life Holdings”). Corebridge Life Holdings is wholly owned by Corebridge Financial, Inc. (“Corebridge”), which American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) owns 52.2% of their outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2023. AIG is a holding company, which through its subsidiaries provides a wide range of property casualty insurance, life insurance, retirement products and other financial services to commercial and individual customers in more than 190 countries and jurisdictions. The term “AIG” means American International Group, Inc. and not any of AIG’s consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company is a stock life insurance company domiciled and licensed under the laws of the State of Texas and is subject to regulation by the Texas Department of Insurance (“TDI”). The Company is also subject to regulation by the states in which it is authorized to transact business. The Company is licensed in 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The Company is a leading provider in the United States of individual term and universal life insurance solutions to middle-income and high-net-worth customers, as well as a leading provider in the United States of fixed and variable annuities. VALIC’s primary products include fixed and variable annuities, and mutual funds and plan administrative and compliance services.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the TDI. These accounting practices vary in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), as described herein.

The TDI recognizes only statutory accounting practices (“SAP”) prescribed or permitted by the State of Texas for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Texas Insurance Law. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Texas.

The Company does not employ any prescribed or permitted accounting practices that differ from the NAIC SAP.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The statement of cash flows in this report has balances that are different from those in the annual statement filed with the NAIC. The annual statement for 2023 had net cash provided by operations, investments and financing of $(1.5) billion, $2.8 billion and $(1.4) billion, respectively, while this report has $(1.4) billion, $2.6 billion and $(1.4) billion, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the TDI requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the statutory financial statements and the accompanying notes. It also requires disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statutory financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the period. The areas of significant judgments and estimates include the following:

 

 

application of other-than-temporary impairments;

 

 

estimates with respect to income taxes, including recoverability of deferred tax assets;

 

 

fair value measurements of certain financial assets; and

 

 

policy reserves for life, annuity and accident and health insurance contracts, including guarantees.

These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, the Company’s Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus, Statutory Statements of Operations and Statutory Statements of Cash Flows could be materially affected.

Significant Accounting Policies

Bonds not backed by other loans are carried at amortized cost except for those with a NAIC designation of “6” or “6*”. Bonds with a NAIC 6 designation are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value, with unrealized losses charged directly to unassigned surplus. Bonds that have not been filed and have not received a designation in over one year from the NAIC’s Investment Analysis Office (“IAO”) receive a “6*” designation and are carried at zero, with the unrealized loss charged directly to unassigned surplus. Bonds filed with the IAO which receive a “6*” designation may carry a value greater than zero. Securities are assigned a NAIC 5* designation if the Company certifies that (1) the documentation necessary to permit a full credit analysis does not exist, (2) the issuer or obligor is current on all contracted interest and principal payments and (3) the Company has an actual expectation of ultimate repayment of all contracted interest and principal. Securities with NAIC 5* designations are deemed to possess the credit characteristics of securities assigned a NAIC 5 designation. The discount or premium on bonds is amortized using the effective yield method.

Loan-backed and structured securities (“LBaSS”) include residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), asset-backed securities (“ABS”), pass-thru securities, lease-backed securities, equipment trust certificates, loan-backed securities issued by special purpose corporations or trusts, and securities where there is not direct recourse to the issuer. LBaSS are carried on a basis consistent with that of bonds not backed

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

by loans. Income recognition for LBaSS is determined using the effective yield method and estimated cash flows. Prepayment assumptions for single-class and multi-class mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and ABS were obtained from an outside vendor or internal estimates. The Company uses independent pricing services and broker quotes in determining the fair value of its LBaSS. The Company uses the retrospective adjustment method to account for the effect of unscheduled payments affecting high credit quality securities, while securities with less than high credit quality and securities for which the collection of all contractual cash flows is not probable are both accounted for using the prospective adjustment method.

Reference to “non-rated residual tranches or interests” intends to capture securitization tranches, beneficial interests, interests of structured finance investments, as well as other structures, that reflect loss layers without contractual interest or principal payments. Payments to holders of these investments occur after contractual interest and principal payments have been made to other tranches or interests and are based on the remaining available funds. Although payments to holders can occur throughout an investment’s duration (and not just at maturity), such instances still reflect the residual amount permitted to be distributed after other holders have received contractual interest and principal payments.

NAIC designations are determined with a multi-step approach. The initial designation is used to determine the carrying value of the security. The final NAIC designation is used for reporting and affects risk-based capital (“RBC”). The final NAIC designation is determined for most RMBS and CMBS by financial modeling conducted by BlackRock. For credit tenant loans, equipment trust certificates, any corporate-like securities rated by the IAO, interest-only securities, and those securities with an original NAIC designation of 5, 5*, 6, or 6*, the final NAIC designation is based on the IAO or Credit Rating Provider rating and is not subject to financial modeling.

Redeemable preferred stocks with NAIC designations of “1” through “3” are carried at amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are stated at the lower of cost, amortized cost or fair value, with unrealized capital losses charged directly to unassigned surplus. Perpetual preferred stocks are valued at fair value, not to exceed any currently effective call price. Provisions made for impairment are recorded as realized capital losses when declines in fair value are determined to be other than temporary.

Unaffiliated common stocks are carried at fair value, with unrealized capital gains and losses credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Provisions made for impairment are recorded as realized capital losses when declines in fair value are determined to be other than temporary. For Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) capital stock, which is only redeemable at par, the fair value shall be presumed to be par, unless considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Subsidiary, controlled, and affiliated (“SCA”) entities: The Company has no investments in insurance SCA entities.

Investments in non-insurance SCA entities are recorded based on the equity of the investee per audited financial statements prepared pursuant to U.S. GAAP, which is adjusted to a statutory basis of accounting, if applicable. All investments in non-insurance SCA entities for which audited U.S. GAAP financial statements are not available are non-admitted as assets. Undistributed equity in earnings of affiliates is included in unassigned surplus as a component of unrealized capital gains or losses. Dividends received from such affiliates are recorded as investment income when declared.

Mortgage and mezzanine real estate loans are carried at unpaid principal balances less allowances for credit losses and plus or minus adjustments for the accretion or amortization of discount or premium. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned.

Mortgage and mezzanine real estate loans are considered impaired when collection of all amounts due under contractual terms is not probable. Impairment is measured using either i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, ii) the loan’s observable market price, if available, or iii) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance is typically established for the difference between the impaired value of the loan and its current carrying amount. Additional allowance amounts are established for incurred but not specifically identified impairments, based on statistical models primarily driven by past due status, debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratio, property occupancy, profile of the borrower and of the major property tenants, and economic trends in the market where the property is located. When all or a portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion of the carrying amount of the loan is charged off against the allowance.

Real estate consists of properties occupied by the Company, properties held for the production of income and properties held for sale. Properties occupied by the Company and held for the production of income are carried at

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

depreciated cost, less encumbrances, unless events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset (amount prior to reduction for encumbrances) may not be recoverable. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of its depreciated cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell the property and net of encumbrances. Real estate obtained through foreclosure, in satisfaction of a loan, is recorded at the time of foreclosure at the lower of fair value as determined by acceptable appraisal methodologies, or the carrying amount of the related loan. Land is reported at cost.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments include cash on hand and amounts due from banks, highly liquid debt instruments that have original maturities within one year of date of purchase and are carried at amortized cost, interest-bearing money market funds, investment pools and other investments with original maturities within one year from the date of purchase.

Contract loans are carried at unpaid balances, which include unpaid principal plus accrued interest, including 90 days or more past due. All loan amounts in excess of the contract cash surrender value are considered non-admitted assets.

Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that meet the criteria of a highly effective hedge are reported in a manner consistent with the hedged asset or liability (“hedge accounting”). Changes in statement value or cash flow of derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded consistently with how the changes in the statement value or cash flow of the hedged asset or liability are recorded. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge (“ineffective hedges”) are accounted for at fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses.

Starting in 2022, the Company designated, under Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) 86, Derivatives, certain foreign exchange derivatives as effective hedges of certain invested assets. Effective December 31, 2023, the Company elected fair value hedge accounting for the hedge of a portfolio of similar assets using the “portfolio layer method.” The portfolio layer method represents a new method of achieving hedge accounting that had recently been adopted for statutory reporting purposes pursuant to guidance in SSAP 86.

Other invested assets principally consist of investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies. Investments in these assets, except for joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies with a minor ownership interest, are reported using the equity method. Under SAP, such investments are generally reported based on audited U.S. GAAP equity of the investee, with subsequent adjustment to a statutory basis of accounting, if applicable.

Joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has a minor ownership interest (i.e., less than 10 percent) or lacks control, are generally recorded based on the underlying audited U.S. GAAP equity of the investee, with some prescribed exceptions. SAP allows the use of (a) the U.S. GAAP equity as set forth in the footnote reconciliation of foreign GAAP equity and income to U.S. GAAP within audited foreign GAAP financial statements or (b) the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) basis equity in audited IFRS financial statements as an acceptable basis for the valuation of minor/non-controlled investments. The audited U.S. tax basis equity may also be used in certain circumstances.

All other investments in entities for which audited U.S. GAAP financial statements, or another acceptable audited basis of accounting as described above were not available have been non-admitted as assets. Undistributed accumulated earnings of such entities are included in unassigned surplus as a component of unrealized capital gains or losses. Distributions received that are not in excess of the undistributed accumulated earnings are recognized as investment income. Impairments that are determined to be other than temporary are recognized as realized capital losses.

Securities lending and repurchase agreements: The Company has a securities lending program, which was approved by its Board of Directors, and lends securities from its investment portfolio to supplement liquidity or for other uses as deemed appropriate by management. Under the program, securities are lent to financial institutions, and in return the Company receives cash as collateral equal to 102 percent of the fair value of the loaned securities. The cash collateral received is invested in cash and/or short-term investments that may be sold or repledged or partially used for short-term liquidity purposes based on conservative cash flow forecasts. Securities lent by the Company under these transactions may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. The liability for cash collateral received would be reported in payable for securities lending in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus. The Company monitors the fair value of securities loaned and obtains additional collateral as necessary. At the termination of the transactions, the Company and its counterparties are obligated to return the collateral provided and the securities lent, respectively. These transactions are treated as secured financing arrangements.

In addition, the Company is a party to secured financing transactions involving securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), in which the Company transfers securities in exchange for cash, with an agreement by the Company to repurchase the same or substantially similar securities on agreed upon dates specified in the agreements.

Investment income due and accrued is non-admitted from investment income for bonds and other invested assets when collection of interest is overdue by more than 90 days, or is uncertain, and for mortgage loans when loans are foreclosed, or delinquent in payment for greater than 180 days, or when collection of interest is uncertain.

Net realized capital gains and losses, which are determined by using the specific identification method, are reflected in income net of applicable federal income taxes and transfers to the interest maintenance reserve.

The Company regularly evaluates its investments for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) in value. The determination that a security has incurred an OTTI in value and the amount of any loss recognition requires the judgment of the Company’s management and a continual review of its investments. For bonds, other than LBaSS, an OTTI shall be considered to have occurred if it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms in effect at the acquisition date of the debt security. If it is determined an OTTI has occurred, the cost basis of bonds are written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down is recognized as a realized capital loss.

For LBaSS, a non-interest related OTTI resulting from a decline in value due to fundamental credit problems of the issuer is recognized when the projected discounted cash flows for a particular security are less than its amortized cost. When a non-interest related OTTI occurs, the LBaSS is written down to the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected. An OTTI is also deemed to have occurred if the Company intends to sell the LBaSS or does not have the intent and ability to retain the LBaSS until recovery. If the decline is interest-related, the LBaSS is written down to fair value.

In periods subsequent to the recognition of an OTTI loss, the Company generally accretes the difference between the new cost basis and the future cash flows expected to be collected, if applicable, as interest income over the remaining life of the security based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows.

Non-admitted assets are excluded from admitted assets and the change in the aggregate amount of such assets is reflected as a separate component of unassigned surplus. Non-admitted assets include all assets specifically designated as non-admitted and assets not designated as admitted, such as a certain portion of DTAs, prepaid expenses, electronic data processing (“EDP”) equipment assets, agents’ balances or other receivables over 90 days. Non-admitted assets were $700 million and $659 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) is calculated based on methods prescribed by the NAIC and was established to prevent large fluctuations in interest-related investment gains and losses resulting from sales (net of taxes) and interest-related OTTI (net of taxes). IMR applies to all types of fixed maturity investments, including bonds, preferred stocks, MBS, ABS and mortgage loans. An OTTI occurs when the Company, at the reporting date, has the intent to sell an investment or does not have the intent and ability to hold the security before recovery of the cost of the investment. For LBaSS, if the Company recognizes an interest-related OTTI, the non-interest-related OTTI is recorded to the asset valuation reserve, and the interest-related portion to IMR. Such gains and losses are deferred into the IMR and amortized into income using the grouped method over the remaining contractual lives of the securities sold.

Asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) is used to stabilize surplus from fluctuations in the market value of bonds, stocks, mortgage loans, real estate, limited partnerships and other investments. Changes in the AVR are recorded as direct increases or decreases in surplus.

Separate account assets and liabilities generally represent funds for which the contract holder, rather than the Company, bears the investment risk. Separate account contract holders have no claim against the assets of the general account of the Company, except for certain guaranteed products. Separate account assets are generally reported at fair value. In addition, certain products with fixed guarantees and market-value-adjusted (“MVA”) fixed annuity contracts in which the assets are generally carried at amortized cost are required by certain states to be carried in a separate account. The operations of the separate accounts are excluded from the Statutory Statements of Operations and Statutory Statements of Cash Flows of the Company. The Company receives fees for assuming mortality and certain expense risks. Such fees are included in separate account fees in the Statutory Statements of Operations. Reserves for variable annuity contracts are provided in accordance with the Variable Annuity Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

Valuation Method (“VACARVM”) under subsection 21 of the Valuation Manual (“VM-21”). Reserves for variable universal life accounts are provided in accordance with subsection 20 of the Valuation Manual (“VM-20”) for new business issued beginning in 2020, and in accordance with the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method (“CRVM”) for policies issued prior to 2020.

Policy reserves are established according to different methods.

Life, annuity, and health reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are generally determined based on published tables using specified interest rates, mortality or morbidity assumptions, and valuation methods prescribed or permitted by statutes that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash values or the amounts required by the TDI.

Principle-based reserving (“PBR”) is designed to tailor the reserving process to more closely reflect the risks of specific products, rather than the previous prescribed approach. Reserve requirements for the Company’s life insurance policies issued after January 1, 2020 are contained in VM-20, Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Life Products, policies issued prior to 2020 are reserved for using the CRVM. Under VM-20, these reserves are generally more sensitive to changes in actuarial assumptions.

The Company waives the deduction of deferred fractional premiums on the death of the life and annuity policy insured and returns any premium beyond the date of death. The Company reported additional reserves for surrender values in excess of the corresponding policy reserves.

The Company performs annual cash flow testing in accordance with the Actuarial Opinion and Memorandum Regulation to ensure adequacy of the reserves. Additional reserves are established where the results of cash flow testing under various interest rate scenarios indicate the need for such reserves or where the net premiums exceed the gross premiums on any insurance in force. Total cash flow testing reserves were $117 million and $46 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

A majority of the Company’s variable annuity products are issued with a guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”) which provides that, upon the death of a contractholder, the contractholder’s beneficiary will receive the greater of (1) the contractholder’s account value, or (2) a GMDB that varies by product. Depending on the product, the GMDB may equal the principal invested, adjusted for withdrawals; or the greatest contract value, adjusted for withdrawals, at the specified contract anniversaries; or the principal invested, adjusted for withdrawals, accumulated at the specified rate per annum. These benefits have issue age and other restrictions to reduce mortality risk exposure. The Company bears the risk that death claims following a decline in the financial markets may exceed contract holder account balances, and that the fees collected under the contract are insufficient to cover the costs of the benefit to be provided. Death benefits on GMDB policies generally reduce on a proportional basis or on a dollar-for-dollar basis when a partial withdrawal occurs.

Reserves for GMDB benefits are included in the VACARVM reserve. PBR is designed to tailor the reserving process to more closely reflect the risks of specific products, rather than the factor-based approach typically employed historically. Variable Annuity (“VA”) reserving requirements are contained in VM-21, Reserves for Variable Requirements for Principle-Based Annuities.

Life policies underwritten as substandard are charged extra premiums. Reserves are computed for a substandard policy by adding the reserve for an otherwise identical non-substandard policy plus a factor times the extra premium charge for the year. The factor varies by duration, type of plan, and underwriting. In addition, an extra mortality reserve is reported for ordinary life insurance policies classified as group conversions. Substandard structured settlement annuity reserves are determined by making a constant addition to the mortality rate of the applicable valuation mortality table so that the life expectancy on the adjusted table is equal to the life expectancy determined by the Company’s underwriters at issue.

Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released, and tabular cost have been determined by formula, except for universal life insurance and deferred annuity reserves, which include fund accumulations for which tabular interest has been determined from basic data. For the determination of tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies, the actual credited interest is used.

Liabilities for deposit-type contracts, which include supplementary contracts without life contingencies and annuities certain, are based on the discounting of future payments at an annual statutory effective rate. Tabular interest on other funds not involving life contingencies is based on the interest rate at which the liability accrues.

Policy and contract claims represent the ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims incurred during the year. Reserves for unpaid claims are estimated using individual case-basis valuations and statistical analyses. Those estimates are subject to the effects of trends in claim severity and frequency. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary, as experience develops or new information becomes known; such adjustments are included in current operations.

Reserves for future policy benefits to be paid on life and accident and health policies, incurred in the statement period, but not yet reported, were established using historical data from claim lag experience. The data is aggregated from product specific studies performed on the Company’s business.

Premiums and annuity considerations and related expenses are recognized over different periods. Life premiums are recognized as income over the premium paying periods of the related policies. Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue when received. Premiums for deposit-type products are credited directly to the respective reserves and are not recorded in the Statutory Statement of Operations. Health premiums are earned ratably over the terms of the related insurance and reinsurance contracts or policies. Acquisition costs such as commissions and other expenses related to the production of new business are charged to the Statutory Statements of Operations as incurred.

Reinsurance premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.

Annuity and deposit-type contract surrender benefits are reported on a cash basis, and include annuity benefits, payments under supplementary contracts with life contingencies, surrenders and withdrawals. Withdrawals from deposit-type contracts directly reduce the liability for deposit-type contracts and are not reported in the Statutory Statements of Operations.

General insurance expenses include allocated expenses pursuant to cost allocation agreements. The Company purchases administrative, accounting, marketing and data processing services from AIG, Corebridge and affiliates and is charged based on estimated levels of usage, transactions or time incurred in providing the respective services. The allocation of costs for investment management services purchased from affiliates is based on the level of assets under management.

Federal income tax expense (benefit) is recognized and computed on a separate company basis pursuant to tax sharing agreements, because the Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax returns of its parent company filing group. For the period prior to the Corebridge initial public offering (the “IPO”) on September 19, 2022, the Company joined in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with AIG. For the period following the IPO, the Company will join with AGC Life, American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL”), United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (“USL”), and Corebridge Insurance Company of Bermuda, Ltd. (formerly AIG Life of Bermuda, Ltd.) (“Corebridge Bermuda”), in filing a consolidated life company federal income tax return. To the extent that benefits for net operating losses, foreign tax credits, CAMT credits or net capital losses are utilized on a consolidated basis, the Company would recognize tax benefits based upon the amount of those deductions and credits utilized in the consolidated federal income tax return. The federal income tax expense or benefit reflected in the Statutory Statements of Operations represents income taxes provided on income that is currently taxable, but excludes tax on the net realized capital gains or losses.

Income taxes on capital gains or losses reflect differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses on a statutory accounting basis versus a tax accounting basis. The most significant of such differences involve impairments of investments, which are recorded as realized losses in the Statutory Statements of Operations but are not recognized for tax purposes, and the deferral of net capital gains and losses into the IMR for statutory income but not for taxable income. Capital gains and losses on certain related-party transactions are recognized for statutory financial reporting purposes but are deferred for income tax reporting purposes until the security is sold to an outside party.

A deferred tax asset (“DTA”) or deferred tax liability (“DTL”) is included in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus, which reflects the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the statement values of assets and liabilities for statutory financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes. The change in the net DTA or DTL is reflected in a separate component of unassigned surplus. Net DTAs are limited in their admissibility.

The CAMT is disregarded when evaluating the need for a valuation allowance for the Company’s non-CAMT DTAs.

Accounting Changes

SSAP No. 86, Derivatives, was revised to adopt with modification derivative guidance from ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging and ASU 2022-01, Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method, to include guidance for the portfolio layer method and partial-term hedges. These revisions were effective January 1, 2023. A partial-term hedge is a hedge for a portion of the time to maturity of a fixed rate asset (liabilities are not included contrary to U.S. GAAP). The portfolio layer method permits reporting entities to designate the portion of a closed portfolio of financial assets, beneficial interests secured by financial assets, or a combination of the two, that is not expected to be prepaid during the hedge period as the hedged item in a fair value hedge.

Substantive changes were made to SSAP 26R, Bonds, SSAP 21R, Other Admitted Assets, and SSAP 43R, Loan-Backed and Structured Securities, effective January 1, 2025. The changes provide a new principle-based bond definition to be used for determining which investments are eligible for reporting on Schedule D as a bond. The changes focus on ensuring appropriate consideration of whether an investment qualifies as an issuer credit obligation or asset-backed security prior to reporting as a bond.

Correction of Errors

SAP requires that corrections of errors related to prior periods be reported as adjustments to unassigned surplus to the extent that they are not material to prior periods.

In 2023, two out-of-period errors were identified and corrected, the largest of which was related to an understatement of reserves for variable annuities due to model implementations in 2022. The total of these corrections decreased unassigned surplus by $11 million.

In 2022, one out-of-period error was identified and corrected, which decreased unassigned surplus by $19 million.

In 2021, two out-of-period errors were identified and corrected, which decreased unassigned surplus by $34 million. The most significant was a tax correction related to 2013-2018.

The Company’s management does not believe these corrections to be material to the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow for the Company’s previously filed annual statement.

Differences in Statutory Accounting and U.S. GAAP Accounting

The accompanying statutory financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the TDI. These accounting practices vary in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. The primary differences between NAIC SAP and U.S. GAAP are as follows.

The objectives of U.S. GAAP differ from the objectives of SAP. U.S. GAAP is designed to measure the entity as a going concern and to produce general purpose financial statements to meet the varying needs of the different users of financial statements. SAP is designed to address the accounting requirements of regulators, who are the primary users of statutory-basis financial statements and whose primary objective is to measure solvency. As a result, U.S. GAAP stresses measurement of earnings and financial condition of a business from period to period, while SAP stresses measurement of the ability of the insurer to pay claims in the future.

Investments. Under SAP, investments in bonds and redeemable preferred stocks are generally reported at amortized cost. However, if bonds are designated category “6” and redeemable preferred stocks are designated categories “4 – 6” by the NAIC, these investments are reported at the lesser of amortized cost or fair value with a credit or charge to unrealized investment gains or losses. For U.S. GAAP, such fixed-maturity investments are designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed-maturity investments are reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed-maturity investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized capital gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as trading and as a component of other comprehensive income for those designated as available-for-sale.

Under SAP, all single- and multi-class MBS or other ABS (e.g., Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMO”) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium with respect to such securities using either the retrospective or prospective method. For LBaSS, if it is determined that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to the discounted estimated future cash flows. Bonds, other than LBaSS, that are other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to fair value. For U.S. GAAP purposes, all securities, purchased or retained, that represent beneficial interests in

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

securitized assets (e.g., CMO, MBS and ABS securities), other than high credit quality securities, would be adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If high-credit quality securities must be adjusted, the retrospective method would be used. For all bonds, if it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security would be written down to the discounted estimated future cash flows, while the non-credit portion of the impairment would be recorded as an unrealized loss in other comprehensive income.

Under SAP, when it is probable that the insurer will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement, allowances are established for temporarily-impaired mortgage loans based on the difference between the unpaid loan balance and the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate, less estimated costs to obtain and sell. The initial allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus rather than as a component of earnings as would be required under U.S. GAAP. If the impairment is other-than-temporary, a direct write down is recognized as a realized loss, and a new cost basis is established. Under U.S. GAAP, an allowance for credit losses is based on the expectation of lifetime credit losses.

Under SAP, joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies in which the insurer has a minor ownership interest (i.e., less than 10 percent) or lacks control are generally recorded based on the underlying audited U.S. GAAP basis equity of the investee. Under U.S. GAAP, joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies in which the insurer has a significant ownership interest or is deemed to have control are accounted for under the equity method. Where that is not the case, such investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

Real Estate. Under SAP, investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations; under U.S. GAAP, investments in real estate are reported on a gross basis. Under SAP, real estate owned and occupied by the insurer is included in investments; under U.S. GAAP, real estate owned and occupied by the insurer is reported as an operating asset, and operating income and expenses include rent for the insurer’s occupancy of those properties.

Derivatives. Under SAP, derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded as unrealized capital gains or losses. Under U.S. GAAP, such derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded as realized capital gains or losses. Under U.S. GAAP, fair value measurement for free standing derivatives incorporate either counterparty’s credit risk for derivative assets or the insurer’s credit risk for derivative liabilities by determining the explicit cost to protect against credit exposure. This credit exposure evaluation takes into consideration observable credit default swap rates. Under SAP, non-performance risk (own credit-risk) is not reflected in the fair value calculations for derivative liabilities. Under U.S. GAAP, index life insurance features in indexed universal life contracts and certain guaranteed features of variable annuities are bifurcated and accounted for separately as embedded policy derivatives and market risk benefits, respectively. Under SAP, embedded derivatives and market risk benefits are not bifurcated or accounted for separately from the host contract.

Interest Maintenance Reserve. Under SAP, the insurer is required to maintain an IMR. IMR is calculated based on methods prescribed by the NAIC and was established to prevent large fluctuations in interest-related capital gains and losses realized through sales or OTTI. IMR applies to all types of fixed maturity investments, including bonds, preferred stocks, MBS, ABS and mortgage loans. After-tax capital gains or losses realized upon the sale or impairment of such investments resulting from changes in the overall level of interest rates are excluded from current period net income and transferred to the IMR. The transferred after-tax net realized capital gains or losses are then amortized into income over the remaining period to maturity of the divested asset. Realized capital gains and losses are reported net of tax and transfers to the IMR, after net gain from operations. Any negative IMR balance is treated as non-admitted asset, unless certain criteria are met. This reserve is not required under U.S. GAAP and pre-tax realized capital gains and losses are reported as component of total revenues, with related taxes included in taxes from operations.

Asset Valuation Reserve. Under SAP, the insurer is required to maintain an AVR, which is computed in accordance with a prescribed formula and represents a provision for possible fluctuations in the value of bonds, equity securities, mortgage loans, real estate, and other invested assets. The level of AVR is based on both the type of investment and its credit rating. Under SAP, AVR is included in total adjusted capital for RBC analysis purposes. Changes to AVR are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. This reserve is not required under U.S. GAAP.

Subsidiaries. Under SAP, investments in insurance subsidiaries are recorded based upon the underlying audited statutory equity of a subsidiary with all undistributed earnings or losses shown as an unrealized capital gain or loss in

unassigned surplus. Dividends received by the parent company from its subsidiaries are recorded through net investment income. Under U.S. GAAP, subsidiaries’ financial statements are combined with the parent company’s financial statements through consolidation. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated under U.S. GAAP. Dividends received by the parent company from its subsidiaries reduce the parent company’s investment in the subsidiaries.

Policy Acquisition Costs and Sales Inducements. Under SAP, policy acquisition costs are expensed when incurred. Under U.S. GAAP, acquisition costs that are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal of existing insurance contracts are deferred as deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”). DAC is amortized on a constant level basis (i.e., approximating straight line amortization with adjustments for expected terminations) over the expected term of the related contracts using assumptions consistent with those used in estimating the related liability for future policy benefits, or any other related balances. Under SAP, sales inducements are expensed when incurred. Under U.S. GAAP, certain sales inducements on interest-sensitive life insurance contracts and deferred annuities are deferred and amortized over the life of the contract using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC.

Deferred Premiums. Under SAP, when deferred premiums exist, statutory deferred premiums are held as a statutory asset, while under U.S. GAAP, deferred premiums are held as a contra-liability in the future policy benefits liability.

Non-admitted Assets. Certain assets designated as “non-admitted,” principally any agents’ balances or unsecured loans or advances to agents, certain DTAs, furniture, equipment and computer software, receivables over 90 days and prepaid expenses, as well as other assets not specifically identified as admitted assets within the NAIC SAP, are excluded from the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and Surplus and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under U.S. GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheet.

Universal Life and Annuity Policies. Under SAP, revenues for universal life and annuity policies containing mortality or morbidity risk considerations consist of the entire premium received, and benefits incurred consist of the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Payments received on contracts that do not incorporate any mortality or morbidity risk considerations (deposit-type contracts) are credited directly to an appropriate liability for deposit-type contract account without recognizing premium income. Interest credited to deposit-type contracts is recorded as an expense in the Statutory Statements of Operations as incurred. Payments that represent a return of policyholder balances are recorded as a direct reduction of the liability for deposit-type contracts, rather than a benefit expense. Under U.S. GAAP, premiums received in excess of policy charges are not recognized as premium revenue, and benefits represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values.

Benefit Reserves. Under SAP, loading is the difference between the gross and valuation net premium. Valuation net premium is calculated using valuation assumptions which are different for statutory and U.S. GAAP. Statutory valuation assumptions are set by the insurer within limits as defined by statutory law. U.S. GAAP valuation assumptions are set by the insurer based on management’s estimates and judgment.

Policyholder funds not involving life contingencies use different valuation assumptions for SAP and U.S. GAAP. Under SAP, prescribed rates of interest related to payout annuities are used in the discounting of expected benefit payments, while under U.S. GAAP, the insurer’s best estimates of interest rates are used.

Under SAP, the CRVM is used for the majority of individual insurance reserves. Under U.S. GAAP, individual insurance policyholder liabilities for traditional forms of insurance are generally established using the net premium ratio (“NPR”) method. For interest-sensitive policies, a liability for policyholder account balances is established under U.S. GAAP based on the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder. Policy assumptions used in the estimation of policyholder liabilities are generally prescribed under SAP. Under U.S. GAAP, policy assumptions are based upon best estimates.

Under SAP, the CARVM is used for the majority of individual deferred annuity reserves, while under U.S. GAAP, individual deferred annuity policyholder liabilities are generally equal to the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder, together with liabilities for certain contractual guarantees, if applicable. Under SAP, reserves for fixed rate deposit-type contracts are based upon their accumulated values, discounted at an annual statutory effective rate, while under U.S. GAAP, reserves for deposit-type contracts are recorded at their accumulated values.

Under GAAP, indexed interest credits and guarantees in excess of contract account values are bifurcated from the host contract as embedded derivatives and market risk benefits, respectively, and reported at fair value. Under SAP,

Table of Contents

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

embedded derivatives and market risk benefits are not bifurcated and accounted for separately, but rather are included in the benefit reserve valuation for the host contract.

Reinsurance. Under SAP, policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers are reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as required under U.S. GAAP. Under SAP, a liability for reinsurance balances has been provided for unsecured policy reserves, unearned premiums, and unpaid losses ceded to reinsurers not licensed to assume such business. Changes to these amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under U.S. GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings. Under SAP, the criteria used to demonstrate risk transfer varies from U.S. GAAP, which may result in transactions that are accounted for as reinsurance for SAP and deposit accounting for U.S. GAAP. Under SAP, the reserve credit permitted for unauthorized reinsurers is less than or equal to the amount of letter of credit or funds held in trust by the reinsurer. Under U.S. GAAP, assumed and ceded reinsurance is reflected on a gross basis in the balance sheet, and certain commissions allowed by reinsurers on ceded business are deferred and amortized generally on a basis consistent with DAC.

Policyholder Dividend Liabilities. Under SAP, policyholder dividends are recognized when declared. Under U.S. GAAP, policyholder dividends are recognized over the term of the related policies.

Separate Accounts. Under SAP, separate account surplus created through the use of the CRVM, the VACARVM or other reserving methods is reported by the general account as an unsettled transfer from the separate account. The net change on such transfers is included as a part of the net gain from operations in the general account. This is not required under U.S. GAAP.

Separate accounts include certain non-unitized assets which primarily represent MVA fixed options of variable annuity contracts issued in various states. Under SAP, these contracts are accounted for in the separate account financial statements, while under U.S. GAAP, they are accounted for in the general account.

Deferred Income Taxes. Under SAP, statutory DTAs that are more likely than not to be realized are limited to: 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse by the end of the subsequent calendar year, plus 2) the lesser of the remaining gross DTA expected to be realized within a maximum three years of the reporting date or a maximum 15 percent of the capital and surplus excluding any net DTA, EDP equipment and operating software and any net positive goodwill, plus 3) the amount of the remaining gross DTA that can be offset against existing gross DTLs. The remaining DTAs are non-admitted. Deferred taxes do not include amounts for state taxes. Under U.S. GAAP, state taxes are included in the computation of deferred taxes, all DTAs are recorded and a valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that some portion of the DTA will not be realized. Under SAP, income tax expense is based upon taxes currently payable. Changes in deferred taxes are reported in surplus and subject to admissibility limits. Under U.S. GAAP, changes in deferred taxes are recorded in income tax expense.

Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities. Under SAP, offsetting of assets and liabilities is not permitted when there are master netting agreements unless four requirements for valid right of offset are met. The requirements include 1) each of the two parties owes the other determinable amounts, 2) the reporting party has the right to set off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, 3) the reporting party intends to set off, and 4) the right of setoff is enforceable. The prohibition against offsetting extends to derivatives and collateral posted against derivative positions, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions, when the reporting entity does not have the intent to set off. Under U.S. GAAP, these amounts under master netting arrangements may generally be offset and presented on a net basis pursuant to an accounting election, even when the reporting entity does not have the intent to set off.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the number of bonds and equity securities in an unrealized loss position was 3,695 and 4,250, respectively. Bonds comprised 3,695 of the total of which 3,145 were in a continuous loss position greater than 12 months at December 31, 2023. Bonds comprised 4,247 of the total of which 4,056 were in a continuous loss position greater than 12 months at December 31, 2022.

The Company did not recognize the unrealized losses in earnings on these fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because the Company neither intends to sell the securities nor does the Company believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. For fixed maturity securities with significant declines, the Company performed fundamental credit analyses on a security-by-security basis, which included consideration of credit enhancements, expected defaults on underlying collateral, review of relevant industry analyst reports and forecasts and other available market data.

LBaSS

The Company determines fair value of LBaSS based on the amount at which a security could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The majority of the Company’s ABS, RMBS, CMBS, and collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”) are priced by approved independent third-party valuation service providers and broker dealer quotations. Small portions of the LBaSS that are not traded in active markets are priced by market standard internal valuation methodologies, which include discounted cash flow methodologies and matrix pricing. The estimated fair values are based on available market information and management’s judgments.

The following table presents the statement value and fair value of LBaSS:

Prepayment assumptions for single class, multi-class mortgage-backed and ABS were obtained from independent third-party valuation service providers or internal estimates. These assumptions are consistent with the current interest rate and economic environment.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had exposure to a variety of LBaSS. These securities could have significant concentrations of credit risk by country, geographical region, property type, servicer or other characteristics. As part of the quarterly surveillance process, the Company takes into account many of these characteristics in making the OTTI assessment.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any LBaSS with a recognized OTTI due to the intent to sell or an inability or lack of intent to retain the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. During 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized total OTTI of $2 million, $18 million and $0.3 million, respectively, on LBaSS that were still held by the Company. In addition, at December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company held loan-backed impaired securities (fair value is less than cost or amortized cost) for which an OTTI had not been recognized in earnings as a realized loss. Such impairments include securities with a recognized OTTI for non-interest (credit) related declines that were recognized in earnings, but for which an associated interest-related decline has not been recognized in earnings as a realized capital loss.

The following table summarizes the fair value and aggregate amount of unrealized losses on LBaSS and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

In its OTTI assessment, the Company considers all information relevant to the collectability of the security, including past history, current conditions and reasonable forecasts when developing an estimate of future cash flows. Relevant analyst reports and forecasts for the asset class also receive appropriate consideration. The Company also considers how credit enhancements affect the expected performance of the security. In addition, the Company generally considers its cash and working capital requirements and expected cash flows in relation to its business plans and how such forecasts affect the intent and ability to hold such securities to recovery of their amortized cost.

The Company does not have any LBaSS for which it is not practicable to estimate fair values.

The Company did not reduce the interest rate on any loans during 2023. The Company did not reduce any interest rates during 2022.

The maximum percentage of any one loan to the value of security at the time of the loan, exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgage was 75.0 percent and 80.0 percent, in 2023 and 2022, respectively.

At December 31, 2023, the Company held $190 million in impaired mortgage loans with a related allowance for credit losses. There were no impaired mortgage loans without a related allowance. At December 31, 2022, the Company held $261 million in impaired mortgages with $222 million of related allowances for credit losses and $39 million in impaired loans without a related allowance. The Company’s average recorded investment in impaired loans was $194 million and $181 million, at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognized interest income of $0 million, $8 million and $4 million, in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

During 2023, the Company did not derecognize any mortgage loans and did not recognize any real estate collateral as a result of foreclosure.

The mortgage loan portfolio has been originated by the Company under strict underwriting standards. Commercial mortgage loans on properties such as offices, hotels and shopping centers generally represent a higher level of risk than do mortgage loans secured by multi-family residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the larger size of such loans and the more immediate effects of general economic conditions on these commercial property types. However, due to the Company’s strict underwriting standards, the Company believes that it has prudently managed the risk attributable to its mortgage loan portfolio while maintaining attractive yields.

7. SUBPRIME MORTGAGE RISK EXPOSURE

 

 

The following features are commonly recognized characteristics of subprime mortgage loans:

 

·  

An interest rate above prime to borrowers who do not qualify for prime rate loans;

 

·  

Borrowers with low credit ratings (FICO scores);

 

·  

Interest-only or negative amortizing loans;

 

·  

Unconventionally high initial loan-to-value ratios;

 

·  

Low initial payments based on a fixed introductory rate that expires after a short initial period, then adjusts to a variable index rate plus a margin for the remaining term of the loan;

 

·  

Borrowers with less than conventional documentation of their income and/or net assets;

 

·  

Very high or no limits on how much the payment amount or the interest rate may increase at reset periods, potentially causing a substantial increase in the monthly payment amount; and/or

 

·  

Substantial prepayment penalties and/or prepayment penalties that extend beyond the initial interest rate adjustment period.

Non-agency RMBS can belong to one of several different categories depending on the characteristics of the borrower, the property and the loan used to finance the property. Categorization is a function of FICO score, the type of loan, loan-to-value ratio, and property type and loan documentation.

Generally, subprime loans are made to borrowers with low FICO scores, low levels of equity and reduced income/asset documentation. Due to these characteristics, subprime borrowers pay a substantially higher interest rate than prime borrowers. In addition, they often utilize mortgage products that reduce their monthly payments in the near-term. These include adjustable-rate mortgages with low initial rates or interest-only loans. Borrowers in products like this often experience significant “payment shock” when the teaser payment resets upwards after the initial fixed period.

The primary classification mechanism the Company uses for subprime loans is FICO score. Specifically, a pool with an average FICO at origination less than 650 is considered to be subprime. However, the Company may subjectively adjust this classification based on an assessment of the other parameters mentioned above.

To monitor subprime securities, the Company uses a model with vintage-specific assumptions for delinquency roll rates, loss severities and the timing of losses. As and when needed, these vintage-based assumptions are supplemented with deal-specific information including, but not limited to, geographic distribution, realized loss severities, trigger status and scenario analysis.

The Company has no direct exposure through investments in subprime mortgage loans. The Company’s exposure is through other investments, primarily in RMBS, as described above.

8. DERIVATIVES

 

 

The Company has taken positions in certain derivative financial instruments to mitigate or hedge the impact of changes in interest rates, foreign currencies, equity markets, swap spreads, volatility, correlations and yield curve risk on cash flows from investment income, policyholder liabilities and equity. Financial instruments used by the Company for such purposes include interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, cross-currency swaps, futures and futures options on equity indices, and futures and futures options on government securities. The Company does not engage in the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes and is neither a dealer nor trader in derivative instruments.

All derivative instruments are recognized in the financial statements. The Company has determined that its derivative financial instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, excluding the special accounting treatment for limited derivatives hedging variable annuity guarantees discussed in Note 2, derivatives are accounted for at fair value and the changes in the fair value recorded in surplus as unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred taxes. The value of the Company’s exchange traded futures contracts relates to the one day lag in the net cash settlement of these contracts.

The Company recognized a net unrealized capital loss of $38 million in 2023, unrealized capital loss of $57 million in 2022 and unrealized capital loss of $75 million in 2021, related to derivatives that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

Starting in 2022 the Company designated, under SSAP 86, Derivatives, certain foreign exchange derivatives as effective hedges of certain invested assets. Effective the period ending December 31, 2023, the Company elected fair value hedge accounting for the hedge of a portfolio of similar assets using the “portfolio layer method.” The portfolio layer method represents a new method of achieving hedge accounting that had recently been adopted for statutory reporting purposes pursuant to guidance in SSAP 86.

The Company is hedging the risk of changes in the fair value of a designated specified percentage of a closed portfolio of purchased fixed-rate investment assets that is attributable to changes in a benchmark interest rate. The Company is hedging the portfolio on a partial term basis. The hedged item is the last $1.8 billion of financial assets in a closed portfolio for a 5-year period. A proportionate amount of interest rate swaps has been designated as the hedging instruments.

For the purposes of supporting the five-year hedge relationship, portfolio assets with a term greater than five years are assumed to be five-year assets using the partial-term hedging guidance. By electing to hedge the benchmark interest rate component of the contractual cash flows, the hedged assets will have an assumed coupon based on a five-year benchmark interest rate (i.e., SOFR). As a result, the hedged components of the different tenor assets are considered similar when performing the similar asset analysis.

A haircut of approximately 20.62% was applied to the portfolio to maintain a hedged item that is projected to always exceed the notional value of the interest rate swaps. The haircut consisted of the following components:

 

  ·  

Scheduled principal paydowns (approximately 6.62%)

 

  ·  

Anticipated annual defaults (approximately 1%)

 

  ·  

Anticipated annual sales (approximately 13%)

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

Pursuant to fair value hedge accounting, the swaps hedging the portfolio of fixed-interest investments have been reported on the same basis (i.e., amortized cost) as the hedged target. The amortized cost basis of the interest rate swaps was zero at December 31, 2023.

Refer to Note 3 for disclosures related to net realized capital gains (losses).

Swaps, Options, and Futures

Interest rate or cross-currency swap agreements are agreements to exchange with a counterparty, at specified intervals, payments of differing character (for example, variable-rate payments exchanged for fixed-rate payments) or in different currencies, based on an underlying principal balance, notional amount. Generally no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. A single net payment is usually made by one counterparty at each contractual payment due date, and this net payment is included in the Statutory Statement of Operations.

Options are contracts that grant the purchaser, for a premium payment, the right, but not the obligation, either to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time. The Company purchases call options on the S&P 500 Index to offset the risk of certain guarantees of specific equity-index annuity and universal life policy values. The Company also purchases put options on the S&P 500 Index to offset volatility risk arising from minimum guarantees embedded in variable annuities. The options are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in unrealized investment gains and losses.

Financial futures are contracts between two parties that commit one party to purchase and the other to sell a particular commodity or financial instrument at a price determined on the final settlement day of the contract. Futures contracts detail the quality and quantity of the underlying asset; they are standardized to facilitate trading on a futures exchange. Some futures contracts may call for physical delivery of the asset, while others are settled in cash. The Company uses futures contracts on Euro dollar deposits, U.S. Treasury Notes, U.S. Treasury Bonds, the S&P 500 Index, MidCap 400, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, foreign government debt securities, and foreign denominated equity indices to offset the risk of certain guarantees on annuity policy values.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate derivatives are used to manage interest rate risk associated with certain guarantees of variable annuities and equity indexed annuities and certain bonds.The Company’s interest rate hedging derivative instruments include (1) interest rate swaps and swaptions; (2) listed futures on government securities; and (3) listed futures options on government securities; and (4) unlisted swaps and swaptions in U.S. Dollar Secured Overnight Financing Rate.

Currency Risk

Foreign exchange contracts used by the Company include cross-currency swaps, which are used to reduce risks from changes in currency exchange rates with respect to investments denominated in foreign currencies that the Company holds.

Equity Risk

Equity derivatives are used to mitigate financial risk embedded in certain insurance liabilities.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit ratings. For over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, the Company’s net credit exposure is determined based on master netting agreements, which take into consideration all derivative positions with the counterparty, as well as collateral posted by the counterparty at the balance sheet date. The Company is exposed to credit risk when the net position with a particular counterparty results in an asset that exceeds collateral pledged by that counterparty.

For OTC contracts, the Company generally uses an International Swaps and Derivative Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) and Credit Support Annexes with bilateral collateral provisions to reduce counterparty credit exposures. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between two counterparties, which may cover multiple derivative transactions and such ISDA Master Agreement generally provides for the net settlement of all or a specified group of these derivative transactions, as well as transferred collateral, through a single payment, in a single currency,

in the event of a default affecting any one derivative transaction or a termination event affecting all or a specified group of the transactions. The Company minimizes the risk that counterparties might be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring counterparty credit exposure and collateral value and may require additional collateral to be posted upon the occurrence of certain events or circumstances. In the unlikely event of a failure to perform by any of the counterparties to these derivative transactions, there would not be a material effect on the Company’s admitted assets, liabilities or capital and surplus.

The Company has also entered into exchange-traded options and futures contracts. Under exchange-traded futures contracts, the Company agrees to purchase a specified number of contracts with other parties and to post or receive variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily market values of those contracts. The parties with whom the Company enters into exchange-traded futures are regulated futures commission merchants who are members of a trading exchange. The credit risk of exchange-traded futures is partially mitigated because variation margin is settled daily in cash. Exchange-traded option contracts are not subject to daily margin settlements and amounts due to the Company based upon favorable movements in the underlying securities or indices are owed upon exercise.

10. FAIR VALUE INSTRUMENTS

 

 

Fair Value Measurements

The Company carries certain financial instruments at fair value. The Company defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company is responsible for the determination of the value of the investments carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions.

The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally inversely correlates with the level of observable valuation inputs. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments for which no quoted prices are available have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, liquidity and general market conditions

Fair Value Hierarchy

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three “levels” based on the observability of valuation inputs:

 

·  

Level 1: Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that the Company has the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

 

·  

Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

·  

Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

  The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, the Company must make certain assumptions as to the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Bonds: Fair value is based principally on value from independent third-party valuation service providers, broker quotes and other independent information.

Preferred stocks: Fair value of unaffiliated preferred stocks is based principally on value from independent third-party service providers, broker quotes and other independent information.

Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments: Carrying amount approximate fair value because of the relatively short period of time between origination and expected realization and their limited exposure to credit risk.

Mortgage loans: Fair values are primarily determined by discounting future cash flows to the present at current market rates, using expected prepayment rates.

Contract loans: Carrying amounts, which approximate fair value, are generally equal to unpaid principal amount as of each reporting date. No consideration is given to credit risk because contract loans are effectively collateralized by the cash surrender value of the policies.

Securities lending reinvested collateral assets: Securities lending assets are generally invested in short-term investments and thus carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the relatively short period of time between origination and expected realizations.

Separate account assets: Variable annuity and variable universal life assets are carried at the market value of the underlying securities. Certain separate account assets related to market value adjustment fixed annuity contracts are carried at book value. Fair value is based principally on the value from independent third-party valuation service providers, broker quotes and other independent information.

Policy reserves and contractual liabilities: Fair value for investment contracts (those without significant mortality risk) not accounted for at fair value were estimated for disclosure purposes using discounted cash flow calculations based upon interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued. When no similar contracts are being offered, the discount rate is the appropriate swap rates (if available) or current risk-free interest rates consistent with the currency in which cash flows are denominated.

Payable for securities lending: Cash collateral received from the securities lending program is invested in short-term investments and the offsetting liability is included in payable for securities lending. The carrying amount of this liability approximates fair value because of the relatively short period between origination of the liability and expected settlement.

Receivables/payables for securities: Such amounts represent transactions of a short-term nature for which the statement value is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Valuation Methodologies of Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

Bonds

Bonds with NAIC 6 or 6* designations and redeemable preferred stocks with NAIC 4, 5 or 6 designations are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Perpetual preferred stocks are carried at fair value, not to exceed any currently effective call rate. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Whenever available, the Company obtains quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure bonds at fair value. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets.

The Company estimates the fair value of securities not traded in active markets, by referring to traded securities with similar attributes, using dealer quotations, a matrix pricing methodology, discounted cash flow analyses or internal valuation models. This methodology considers such factors as the issuer’s industry, the security’s rating and tenor, its coupon rate, its position in the capital structure of the issuer, yield curves, credit curves, prepayment rates and other relevant factors. For bonds that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments generally are based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

Fair values for bonds and preferred stocks based on observable market prices for identical or similar instruments implicitly include the incorporation of counterparty credit risk. Fair values for bonds and preferred stocks based on internal models incorporate counterparty credit risk by using discount rates that take into consideration cash issuance spreads for similar instruments or other observable information.

Common Stocks (Unaffiliated)

Whenever available, the Company obtains quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure equity securities at fair value. Market price data is generally obtained from exchanges or dealer markets.

Freestanding Derivatives

Derivative assets and liabilities can be exchange-traded or traded OTC. The Company generally values exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures and options, using quoted prices in active markets for identical derivatives at the balance sheet date.

OTC derivatives are valued using market transactions and other observable market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models, model calibration to market clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. When models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends on the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. The Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation models can require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices and rates, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, model inputs can generally be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means, and model selection does not involve significant management judgment.

Certain OTC derivatives trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, and the determination of fair value for these derivatives is inherently more difficult. When the Company does not have corroborating market evidence to support significant model inputs and cannot verify the model using market transactions, the transaction price is initially used as the best estimate of fair value. Accordingly, when a pricing model is used to value such an instrument, the model is adjusted so the model value at inception equals the transaction price. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company updates valuation inputs when corroborated by evidence such as similar market transactions, independent third-party valuation services and/or broker or dealer quotations, or other empirical market data. When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit considerations. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.

Separate Account Assets

Separate account assets are comprised primarily of registered and open-ended variable funds that trade daily and are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Certain separate account assets are carried at amortized cost.

Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data or when the asset is no longer carried at fair value. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific event, one or more significant inputs becoming observable or when a long-term interest rate significant to a valuation becomes short-term and thus observable. Transfers out of level 3 can also occur due to favorable credit migration resulting in a higher NAIC designation. Securities are generally transferred into Level 3 due to a decrease in market transparency, downward credit migration and an overall increase in price disparity for certain individual security types. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out at the end of the reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value.

In both 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the unrealized capital gains (losses) on instruments held at December 31, 2023 and 2022 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The Company had no quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements to report at December 31, 2023.

12. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS

 

 

Separate Accounts

The separate accounts held by the Company consist primarily of variable annuities. These contracts generally are non-guaranteed in nature such that the benefit is determined by the performance and/or market value of the investments held in the separate account. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative.

Certain other separate accounts relate to MVA fixed annuity contracts in which the assets are carried at amortized cost. These policies are required to be held in the Company’s separate account by certain states, including Texas.

The Company does not engage in securities lending transactions within the separate accounts.

In accordance with the products/transactions recorded within the separate account, some assets are considered legally insulated whereas others are not legally insulated from the general account. The legal insulation of the separate account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the general account.

The following table presents separate account assets by product or transaction:

Some separate account liabilities are guaranteed by the general account. To compensate the general account for the risks taken, the separate accounts pay risk charges to the general account.

If claims were filed on all contracts, the current total maximum guarantee the general account would provide to the separate account as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is $596 million and $928 million, respectively.

The following table presents the risk charges paid by the separate accounts and the guarantees paid by the general account:

Certain separate accounts relate to experience-rated group annuity contracts that fund defined contribution pension plans. These contracts provide guaranteed interest returns for one quarter only, where the guaranteed interest rate is re-established each quarter based on the investment experience of the separate account. In no event can the interest rate be less than 3 percent. There are guarantees of principal and interest for purposes of plan participant transactions (e.g., participant-directed withdrawals and fund transfers done at market value). The assets and liabilities of these separate accounts are carried at the quoted market value of the underlying assets. This business has been included in Column 1 of the table below.

There was no separate account business seed money at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

13. RESERVES FOR GUARANTEED POLICY BENEFITS AND ENHANCEMENTS

 

 

Variable annuity contracts may include certain contractually guaranteed benefits to the contract holder. These guaranteed features include GMDB that are payable in the event of death, and living benefits that are payable in the event of annuitization, or, in other instances, at specified dates during the accumulation period. Living benefits include guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWB”) and, to a lesser extent, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMAB”), which are no longer offered. A variable annuity contract may include more than one type of guaranteed benefit feature; for example, it may have both a GMDB and a GMWB. However, a policyholder generally can only receive payout from one guaranteed feature on a contract containing a death benefit and a living benefit, i.e. the features are mutually exclusive. A policyholder cannot purchase more than one living benefit on one contract.

Reserves for GMDB and GMWB were included in the VACARVM reserves. Total reserves in excess of basic reserves were $61 million and $54 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

GMDB

Depending on the product, the GMDB feature may provide a death benefit of either (a) total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return or (b) the highest contract value attained, typically on any anniversary date minus any subsequent withdrawals following the contract anniversary.

THE VARIABLE ANNUITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

GMWB

Certain of the Company’s variable annuity contracts offer optional GMWB. With a GMWB, the contract holder can monetize the excess of the guaranteed amount over the account value of the contract only through a series of withdrawals that do not exceed a specific percentage per year of the guaranteed amount. If, after the series of withdrawals, the account value is exhausted, the contract holder will receive a series of annuity payments equal to the remaining guaranteed amount, and, for lifetime GMWB products, the annuity payments continue as long as the covered person(s) are living.

14. REINSURANCE

 

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, policy reserves on reinsurance assumed were $88 million and $93 million, respectively.

The Company has modified coinsurance and coinsurance reinsurance agreements with MetLife in Japan, pertaining to certain policies written via its branch in Japan. Under the agreements, the Company assumes liability for a quota share portion of contracts issued by MetLife in Japan that include guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”) and GMWB. The contracts assumed also include a GMDB provision. The GMIB (prior to its utilization date), GMWB and the GMDB have a 100 percent quota share and are assumed under coinsurance agreements. The GMIB (after its utilization date) has a 100 percent quota share and is assumed under the modified coinsurance provisions. The benefits provided by the reinsured contracts are assumed with a 50 percent quota share and varied quota share under the modified coinsurance agreements. The agreements are unlimited in duration, but were terminated for new business after March 31, 2009.

The Company calculates total policy reserves for contracts assumed by MetLife in Japan pursuant to AG 43, which includes all assumed GMIB, GMWB and GMDB benefits. MetLife in Japan holds a modified coinsurance reserve for the contracts under the agreements. The Company holds a reserve equal to the excess, if any, of the AG 43 reserve above the modified coinsurance reserve.

The Company has a modified coinsurance reinsurance agreement with AGL, pursuant to which certain blocks of the Company’s VA business are ceded to AGL. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the liabilities subject to this agreement were $19.9 billion and $22.4 billion, respectively. In 2023 and 2022, the agreement decreased the Company’s pre-tax earnings by $90 million and $65 million (excluding initial accounting), respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, $408 million of the Company’s reserves representing a mix of run-off life and annuity risks were ceded to Fortitude Reinsurance Company Ltd.(“Fortitude Re”) under modified coinsurance agreements.

15. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

 

Recent U.S. Tax Law Changes

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which finances climate and energy provisions and an extension of enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act with a 15%, CAMT, on adjusted financial statement income for corporations with profits over $1 billion, a 1% stock buyback tax, increased Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) enforcement funding, and Medicare’s new ability to negotiate prescription drug prices.

Insurance Company consolidated federal income tax return group, of which the Company is a member, has determined that as of the reporting date it is an applicable reporting entity for the CAMT.

Although the U.S. Treasury and IRS issued interim CAMT guidance during 2023, many details and specifics of application of the CAMT remain subject to future guidance. Our estimated CAMT liability will continue to be refined based on future guidance.

In general, realization of DTAs depends on a company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryforward periods in the jurisdictions in which the net operating losses and deductible temporary differences were incurred. In accordance with the requirements established in SSAP 101, the Company assessed its ability to realize DTAs of $867 million and concluded that a $58 million valuation allowance was required at December 31, 2023. The Company concluded that a $82 million was required on the DTAs of $900 million at December 31, 2022.

The Company had no deposits admitted under Internal Revenue Code Section 6603.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties:

At December 31, 2023, and 2022, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $11 million and $11 million.

Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had accrued less than $1 million for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. At December 31, 2023 the Company did not recognize any expense of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. In 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a benefit of less than $1 million of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties.

The Company regularly evaluates proposed adjustments by taxing authorities. At December 31, 2023, such proposed adjustments would not have resulted in a material change to the Company’s financial condition, although it is possible that the effect could be material to the Company’s results of operations for an individual reporting period. Although it is reasonably possible that a change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months, based on the information currently available, the Company does not expect any change to be material to its financial condition.

The Company is currently under IRS examinations for the taxable years 2011-2019 and engaging in the IRS Appeals process in regard to years 2007-2010. Although the final outcome of possible issues raised in any future examination are uncertain, the Company believes that the ultimate liability, including interest, will not materially exceed amounts recorded in the financial statements. The Company’s taxable years 2007-2022 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

The Company is not subject to the repatriation transition tax for the year ended December 31, 2023.

For the period prior to the Corebridge IPO on September 19, 2022, the Company joined in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with AIG.

For the period following the IPO, the Company will join with AGC Life Insurance Company (“AGC Life”), The American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL’’), The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (“USL”), and Corebridge Insurance Company of Bermuda, Ltd. (“Corebridge Bermuda”), in filing a consolidated life company federal income tax return.

The Company has written agreements with both parent entities, AIG and AGC Life, under which each subsidiary agrees to pay the parent company an amount equal to the consolidated federal income tax expense multiplied by the ratio that the subsidiary’s separate return tax liability bears to the consolidated tax liability, plus one hundred percent of the excess of the subsidiary’s separate return tax liability over the allocated consolidated tax liability. Both AIG and AGC Life agree to pay each subsidiary for the tax benefits, if any, of net operating losses, net capital losses and tax credits which are not usable by the subsidiary but which are used by other members of the consolidated group.

The Company may be charged with a portion of CAMT incurred by the AGC Life consolidated group (or credited with a portion of the consolidated group’s CAMT credit utilization).

16. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS

 

 

RBC standards are designed to measure the adequacy of an insurer’s statutory capital and surplus in relation to the risks inherent in its business. The RBC standards consist of formulas that establish capital requirements relating to asset, insurance, business and interest rate risks. The standards are intended to help identify companies that are under-capitalized, and require specific regulatory actions in the event an insurer’s RBC is deficient. The RBC formula develops a risk-adjusted target level of adjusted statutory capital and surplus by applying certain factors to various asset, premium and reserve items. Higher factors are applied to more risky items and lower factors are applied to less risky items. Thus, the target level of statutory surplus varies not only because of the insurer’s size, but also on the risk profile of the insurer’s operations. At December 31, 2023, the Company exceeded RBC requirements that would require any regulatory action.

The Company is subject to the Texas Insurance Code (“TIC”), which imposes certain restrictions on shareholder dividends. Pursuant to TIC 823.107, the maximum amount of dividends in a 12-month period, measured retrospectively from the date of payment, which can be paid by the Company without prior approval of the Texas Insurance Commissioner (the “Commissioner”), is the greater of (i) 10% of its policyholder surplus as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year (excluding realized gains), not including pro rata distributions of such insurance company’s own securities. The Company will be permitted to pay a dividend to its shareholder in excess of the greater of such two amounts (i.e., an extraordinary dividend) only if it files notice of the declaration of such an extraordinary dividend and the amount thereof with the Commissioner and the Commissioner either approves the distribution of the extraordinary dividend or does not disapprove the distribution within 30 days of its filing. In addition, any dividend that exceeds earned surplus (“unassigned funds (surplus)”) calculated as of the most recent financial information available would require the filing of a notice of an extraordinary dividend with the Commissioner.

The maximum amount of dividends that the Company may pay to AGC Life (as immediate parent company) without prior approval of the Texas Insurance Commissioner in 2024 is $235 million, subject to availability of earned surplus. Dividend payments in excess of positive retained earnings are classified and reported as a return of capital.

Dividends are paid as determined by the Board of Directors and are noncumulative. The following table presents the dividends paid by the Company during 2023, 2022 and 2021:

17. RETIREMENT AND SHARE-BASED AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION

 

 

The Company does not directly sponsor any defined benefit or defined contribution plans and does not participate in any multi-employer plans.

Employee Retirement and Postretirement Benefit Plans

Certain employees and retirees of the Company participated in various AIG-sponsored defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. AIG, as sponsor, is ultimately responsible for the maintenance of these plans in compliance with applicable laws. The Company is not directly liable for obligations under these plans; its obligation results from AIG’s allocation of the Company’s share of expenses from the plans based on participants’ earnings for the pension plans and on estimated claims less contributions from participants for the postretirement plans.

The following table presents information about employee-related costs (expense credits) allocated to the Company:

 

     Years Ended December 31,
 (in millions)   2023       2022        2021  
 Defined benefit plans   $        3     $        (9)     $        (15) 

Defined Contribution Plan

Prior to August 22, 2022, the Company’s employees participated in AIG’s qualified defined contribution plan that provided for contributions by employees, as well as an employer contribution. On August 22, 2022, participants’ accounts in the AIG plan were transferred to the Corebridge Financial Inc. Retirement Savings 401(k) Plan.

The 401(k) plan provides for pre-tax salary reduction contributions by its U.S. employees.Employer matching contributions of 100 percent were made on the first six percent of participant contributions, subject to IRS-imposed limitations, and an additional fully vested, non-elective, non-discretionary employer contribution equal to three percent of the participant’s annual base compensation for the plan year, paid each pay period regardless of whether the participant currently contributes to the plan, and subject to the IRS-imposed limitations.

The Company’s pre-tax expense associated with this plan was $23 million, $25 million and $23 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Share-based and Deferred Compensation Plans

Prior to the IPO, certain Corebridge employees received grants of equity awards under the AIG Long Term Incentive Plan (as amended) and its predecessor plan, the AIG 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan, which are governed by the AIG 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The value of AIG equity awards are linked to the performance of AIG’s common stock. AIG granted equity awards to the Company’s employees primarily in the form of AIG restricted stock units (“RSUs”) but also granted AIG performance share units (“PSUs”) and AIG stock options to certain executives. AIG RSUs that were held by the Company’s active employees on September 14, 2022 (the pricing date for the IPO) were converted into RSUs linked to the performance of Corebridge stock (“Corebridge RSUs”), on terms and conditions that are substantially the same as the corresponding AIG RSUs, with the number of AIG RSUs adjusted in a manner intended to preserve their intrinsic value as of immediately before and immediately following the conversion (subject to rounding).

Following the IPO, the Company’s employees participate in several stock compensation programs under the Corebridge Financial, Inc. Long-term Incentive Plan (each as applicable, the “LTIP”), which are governed by the Corebridge Financial, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated on February 16, 2023. Corebridge’s LTIP provides for an annual award to certain employees, including senior executive officers and other highly compensated employees, that may comprise a combination of one or more of the following units: RSUs or stock options. RSUs and stock options are earned based solely on continued service by the participant and vesting occurs in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.

The Company recognized compensation expenses of $2 million , $12 million and $10 million for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, on the grant date of the awards.

18. DEBT

 

 

The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Dallas.

Membership with the FHLB provides the Company with collateralized borrowing opportunities, primarily as an additional source of liquidity or for other uses deemed appropriate by management. The Company’s ownership in the FHLB stock is reported as common stock. Pursuant to the membership terms, the Company elected to pledge such stock to the FHLB as collateral for the Company’s obligations under agreements entered into with the FHLB.

Cash advances obtained from the FHLB are reported in and accounted for as borrowed money. The Company may periodically obtain cash advances on a same-day basis, up to a limit determined by management and applicable laws. The Company is required to pledge certain mortgage-backed securities, government and agency securities and other qualifying assets to secure advances obtained from the FHLB. To provide adequate collateral for potential advances, the Company has pledged securities to the FHLB in excess of outstanding borrowings. Upon any event of default by the Company, the recovery by the FHLB would generally be limited to the amount of the Company’s liability under advances borrowed.

Commitments

The Company had commitments to provide funding to various limited partnerships totaling $1,019 million and $1,029 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The commitments to invest in limited partnerships and other funds may be called at the discretion of each fund, as needed and subject to the provisions of such fund’s governing documents, for funding new investments, follow-on investments and/or fees and other expenses of the fund. Of the total commitments at December 31, 2023, $471 million are currently expected to expire in 2024, and the remainder by 2029 based on the expected life cycle of the related funds and the Company’s historical funding trends for such commitments.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $439 million and $731 million, respectively, of outstanding commitments related to various funding obligations associated with its investments in commercial mortgage loans. Of the total current commitments, $68 million are expected to expire in 2024 and the remainder by 2036, based on the expected life cycle of the related loans and the Company’s historical funding trends for such commitments.

The Company has various long-term, noncancelable operating leases, primarily for office space and equipment, which expire at various dates over the next several years. At December 31, 2023, the future minimum lease payments under the operating leases are as follows:

Contingencies

Legal Matters

Various lawsuits against the Company have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes it is unlikely that contingent liabilities arising from such lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

Regulatory Matters

Various federal, state or other regulatory agencies may from time to time review, examine or inquire into the operations, practices and procedures of the Company, such as through financial examinations, subpoenas, investigations, market conduct exams or other regulatory inquiries. Based on the current status of pending regulatory examinations, investigations, and inquiries involving the Company, the Company believes it is not likely that these regulatory examinations, investigations, or inquiries will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Other Contingencies

All fifty states and the District of Columbia have laws requiring solvent life insurance companies, through participation in guaranty associations, to pay assessments to protect the interests of policyholders of insolvent life insurance companies. These state insurance guaranty associations generally levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on member insurers in a particular state based on the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer is engaged. Such assessments are used to pay certain contractual insurance benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed insurers. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets. The Company accrues liabilities for guaranty fund assessments (“GFA”) when an assessment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates the liability using the latest information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. While the Company cannot predict the amount and timing of any future GFA, the Company has established reserves it believes are adequate for assessments relating to insurance companies that are currently subject to insolvency proceedings.

The Company accrued $8 million and $8 million for GFA at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has recorded receivables of $4 million and $3 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for expected recoveries against the payment of future premium taxes.

The Company is not subject to the risk-sharing provisions of the Affordable Care Act.

20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Events Related to AIG and Corebridge

Separation of Life and Retirement Business from AIG and Relationship with Blackstone

On September 19, 2022, Corebridge completed an IPO in which AIG sold 80 million shares of Corebridge common stock to the public. Since the IPO, AIG has sold 159.8 million shares of Corebridge common stock and Corebridge has repurchased 17.2 million shares of its common stock from AIG. As of December 31, 2023, AIG owns 52.2% of outstanding common stock of Corebridge.

On November 2, 2021, Argon Holdco LLC (“Argon”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackstone, Inc. (“Blackstone”), acquired a 9.9% equity stake in Corebridge and Corebridge entered into a long-term asset management relationship with Blackstone ISG-1 Advisors L.L.C (“Blackstone IM”). Pursuant to the partnership, Corebridge initially transferred $50 billion in book value of assets in its consolidated investment portfolio to Blackstone IM, with that amount to increase to an aggregate of $92.5 billion by the third quarter of 2027. As of December 31, 2023, Blackstone IM managed approximately $55.4 billion in book value of assets in Corebridge’s investment portfolio.

Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement that Corebridge entered into with AIG and Argon at the time of acquisition of Argon’s Corebridge equity stake, Argon may not sell its ownership interest in Corebridge subject to exceptions permitting Argon to sell 25%, 67% and 75% of its shares after the first, second and third anniversaries, respectively, of the IPO, with the transfer restrictions terminating in full on the fifth anniversary of the IPO. Also, until Argon no longer owns at least 50% of its initial investment in Corebridge, it will have the right to designate for nomination for election one member of the Corebridge Board of Directors.

Prior to the IPO, Corebridge and certain U.S. subsidiaries were included in the consolidated federal income tax return of AIG as well as certain state tax returns where AIG files on a combined or unitary basis. The provision for income taxes is calculated on a separate return basis. Following the IPO, AIG owns a less than 80% interest in Corebridge, resulting in tax deconsolidation of Corebridge from the AIG Consolidated Tax Group and in a small minority of state jurisdictions which follow federal consolidation rules, the most significant being Florida. In addition, under the applicable law, AGC

Life and its directly owned life insurance subsidiaries (the “AGC Group”) will not be permitted to join in the filing of a U.S. consolidated federal income tax return with other subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Life Group”) for the five year waiting period. Instead, the AGC Group is expected to file separately as members of the AGC consolidated U.S. federal income tax return during the five-year waiting period. Following the five-year waiting period, the AGC Group is expected to join the U.S. consolidated federal income tax return with the Non-Life Group.

Investment Management Agreements with BlackRock

Since April 2022, certain of the Corebridge insurers, including the Company, entered into investment management agreements with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BlackRock”) and its investment advisory affiliates. Under the investment management agreements with BlackRock, Corebridge completed the transfer of the management of liquid fixed income and certain private placement assets to BlackRock in 2022. As of December 31, 2023, BlackRock managed approximately $85.3 billion in book value of assets in Corebridge’s consolidated investment portfolio. In addition, liquid fixed income assets associated with the Fortitude Re portfolio were separately transferred to BlackRock for management in 2023. The investment management agreements contain detailed investment guidelines and reporting requirements. These agreements also contain reasonable and customary representations and warranties, standard of care, expense reimbursement, liability, indemnity and other provisions.

American Home Guarantee

The Company has a General Guarantee Agreement with American Home Assurance Company (“American Home”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AIG. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, American Home has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed insurance policies the Company issued between March 3, 2003 and December 29, 2006.

Affiliate Transactions

Effective October 1, 2022, the Company entered into a modified coinsurance reinsurance agreement with AGL, pursuant to which certain blocks of the Company’s VA business were ceded to AGL. The ceded reserves and assets supporting the reserves remain on the Company’s balance sheet, pursuant to the modified coinsurance structure. The business covered by the agreement includes substantially all of the Company’s VA contracts, excluding those issued by the Company in the State of New York and those that have been previously assumed (through reinsurance) by the Company. At inception, the Company ceded approximately $22.9 billion of reserves and received a ceding commission of $1.5 billion from AGL representing the embedded profits in the business ceded. The majority of the initial ceding commission was recognized directly in surplus on an after-tax basis, while a portion of the ceding commission ($0.3 billion) was recognized as Commission and expense allowances on reinsurance ceded in the Summary of Operations as an offset to the related tax expense. The after-tax surplus impact will be amortized over the life of the treaty as the after-tax profits emerge on the reinsured business and will be recognized as Commission and expense allowances on reinsurance ceded in the Summary of Operations, offset by a corresponding charge to change in surplus as a result of reinsurance with no net impact on capital and surplus. After contract inception, AGL will pay a ceding commission and expense allowance to reimburse the Company for its commissions, related issue and policy administration expenses. The agreement was non-disapproved by the TDI. The agreement allows the Company and AGL to more efficiently manage the reserve and capital requirements for their VA business.

During 2023, the Company purchased $21 million and sold $223 million of securities, at fair market value, from or to one or more of its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

At December 31, 2023, the Company’s unfunded capital commitment to US Fund I, US Fund II, US Fund III, US Fund IV, Europe Fund I and Europe Fund II (which are managed by an affiliate) were approximately $10.8 million, $11.8 million, $34 million, $83.5 million, $5.1 million and $62.9 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2022, the Company’s unfunded capital commitment to US Fund I, US Fund II, US Fund III, US Fund IV, Europe Fund I and Europe Fund II were approximately $10.9 million, $12.7 million, $35 million, $112.3 million, $4.9 million and $80.5 million, respectively.

Financing Agreements

On May 17, 2022, the Company and certain of its affiliates entered into a revolving loan facility with Corebridge, pursuant to which the Company and each such affiliate can, on a several basis, borrow monies from Corebridge (as lender) subject to the terms and conditions stated therein. Principal amounts borrowed under this facility may be repaid and re-borrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without penalty. However, the total aggregate amount of loans

borrowed by all borrowers under the facility cannot exceed $500 million. The loan facility also sets forth individual borrowing limits for each borrower, with the Company’s maximum borrowing limit being $500 million.

At both December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have a balance outstanding under this facility.

Operating Agreements

The Company has investments in a Liquidity Pool in which funds are managed by an affiliate, AIG Asset Management (U.S.), LLC, in the amount of $220 million and $240 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Pursuant to service and expense agreements, AIG, Corebridge and affiliates provide, or cause to be provided, administrative, marketing, investment management, accounting, occupancy, and data processing services to the Company. The allocation of costs for services is based generally on estimated levels of usage, transactions or time incurred in providing the respective services. Generally, these agreements provide for the allocation of costs upon either the specific identification basis or a proportional cost allocation basis which management believes to be reasonable. In all cases, billed amounts pursuant to these agreements do not exceed the cost to AIG, Corebridge or the affiliate

providing the service. The Company was charged $434 million, $413 million and $419 million under such agreements in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Pursuant to an amended and restated investment advisory agreement, the majority of the Company’s invested assets are managed by an affiliate. The investment management fees incurred were $35 million in 2023, $34 million in 2022 and $39 million in 2021.

21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

 

Management considers events or transactions that occur after the reporting date, but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosures. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 18, 2024, the date the financial statements were issued.

On March 11, 2024, Corebridge entered into an Amendment and Waiver of Consent and Voting Rights (the “Amendment and Waiver”) with AIG and certain affiliates of Argon and Blackstone that (i) amends the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2021, between Corebridge, AIG and Argon such that Argon shall have no right to consent to any repurchase of shares of common stock of Corebridge, par value $0.01 per share (“Corebridge Common Stock”) if such repurchase would result in Argon owning, of record, more than 9.9% of the then-outstanding Corebridge Common Stock, provided that, no such repurchase will be permitted if it would result in Argon owning, of record, more than 14.9% of the then-outstanding Corebridge Common Stock and (ii) waives the right of Argon, Blackstone and certain of their affiliates to vote or act by written consent with respect to any shares of Corebridge Common Stock owned by them from time to time.

The Company paid an ordinary cash dividend of $80 million to AGC Life on March 25, 2024.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of American Home Assurance Company:

Opinions

We have audited the accompanying statutory basis financial statements of American Home Assurance Company (the “Company”), which comprise the statements of admitted assets, and of liabilities, capital and surplus as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations and changes in capital and surplus, and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and changes in capital and surplus, and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services described in Note 1.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the accompanying financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, or the results of its operations and changes in capital and surplus, or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

 

   

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

   

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

   

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Notes 1, 6 and 7 to the financial statements, the Company has entered into significant transactions with certain affiliated entities. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Organization and Summary of Significant Statutory Basis Accounting Policies

 

 

 

A.

Basis of Organization and Presentation

 

Organization

 

American Home Assurance Company (“the Company” or “American Home”) is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of AIG Property Casualty U.S., Inc. (“AIG PC US”), a Delaware corporation, which is in turn owned by AIG Property Casualty Inc. (“AIG PC”), a Delaware corporation. The Company’s ultimate parent is American International Group, Inc. (the “Ultimate Parent” or “AIG”). AIG conducts its property and casualty operations through multiple line companies writing substantially all commercial (casualty, property, specialty and financial liability) and consumer (accident & health and personal lines) insurance both domestically and abroad.

The Company is party to an inter-company pooling agreement (the “Combined Pooling Agreement”), among the twelve companies listed below; collectively named the Combined Pool. The member companies of the Combined Pool, their National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) company codes, inter-company pooling percentages under the Combined Pooling Agreement, and states of domicile, are as follows:

 * Lead Company of the Combined Pool

Refer to Note 6 for additional information on the Combined Pool and effects of the changes in the intercompany pooling arrangements in 2021 (the “2021 Repooling Transaction”). The Company decreased its participation from 35% to 32% as a result of the 2021 Repooling Transaction.

The Company accepts commercial business primarily through a network of independent retail and wholesale brokers and through independent agency networks. In addition, the Company accepts consumer business primarily through agents and brokers, as well as through direct marketing and partner organizations. There were no Managing Agents or Third Party Administrators who placed direct written premium with the Company in an amount exceeding more than 5.0 percent of surplus of the Company for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

The Company is diversified in terms of classes of its business, distribution network and geographic locations. The Company has direct written premium concentrations of 5.0 percent or more in the following locations:

 

State / Location    2023      2022      2021

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NY SAP”). Certain balances relating to prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Additionally, the financial statements include the Company’s U.S. and foreign operations, along with its Dubai, Caribbean, Jamaica and Argentina branch operations.

The Company’s financial information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 have been presented in accordance with the terms of the Combined Pooling Agreement.

 

B.  

Permitted and Prescribed Practices

 

NY SAP recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NY DFS”) for determining and reporting the financial position and results of operations of an insurance company and for the purpose of determining its solvency under the New York Insurance Code. The NAIC Statutory Accounting Principles included within the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”) have been adopted as a component of prescribed practices by the NY DFS. The Superintendent of the NY DFS (the “Superintendent”) has the right to permit other specific practices that differ from prescribed practices.

NY SAP has prescribed the practice of discounting workers’ compensation known case loss reserves on a non-tabular basis. This practice is not prescribed under NAIC SAP.

Accounting practices prescribed by the Insurance Department of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (“PA SAP”) provide for the availability of certain offsets in the calculation of the Provision for reinsurance, which offsets are not prescribed under NAIC SAP. The Company applied PA SAP with concurrence from the NY DFS to reflect the transfer of collection risk on certain of the Company’s asbestos related reinsurance recoverable balances, to an authorized third party reinsurer, as another form of collateral acceptable to the Commissioner with respect to the reinsurance recoverable balance from the original reinsurers.

In 2021, the Company received a permitted practice to present the consideration received in relation to loss reserves transferred other than via commutation as part of 2021 Repooling transaction within paid loss rather than as premium written and earned. The classification had no effect on net income or surplus.

The Company applied a permitted practice to account for the retroactive aggregate excess of loss reinsurance arrangement entered into with National Indemnity Company (“NICO”), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., (the “ADC”) as prospective reinsurance. However, any gain associated with the ADC has been reported in a segregated surplus account and does not form part of the Company’s Unassigned surplus, subject to the applicable dividend restrictions; such amounts must be restricted in surplus until such time as payments received from NICO exceed premiums paid for the retrocession. Segregated surplus balances were $627, $664 and $685 at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effects of the ADC comprise the majority of total segregated surplus; accordingly, Statutory surplus, NAIC SAP, excluding segregated surplus was $6,285, $7,008, $6,763, at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For more information, see Note 7.

The use of the aforementioned permitted and prescribed practices has not affected the Company’s ability to comply with the NY DFS’s risk based capital (“RBC”) and surplus requirements for the 2023, 2022 and 2021 reporting periods.

A reconciliation of the net income (loss) and capital and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed or permitted by NY SAP is shown below:

C.  

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

 

The preparation of statutory financial statements in accordance with NY SAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. The Company’s accounting policies that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions are considered critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of:

 

 

Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) including estimates and recoverability of the related reinsurance assets;

 

Reinsurance Assets;

 

Other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses on investments;

 

Fair value of certain financial assets, impacting those investments measured at fair value in the Statements of Admitted Assets and Liabilities, Capital and Surplus, as well as unrealized gains (losses) included in Capital and Surplus; and

 

Income tax assets and liabilities, including the recoverability and admissibility of net deferred tax assets and the predictability of future tax operating profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset.

These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions, including some that are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. It is reasonably possible that actual experience may materially differ from the assumptions used and therefore the Company’s statutory financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.

 

D.  

Accounting Policy Differences

 

NAIC SAP is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). NAIC SAP varies from US GAAP in certain significant respects, including:

 

Transactions   NAIC SAP Treatment   US GAAP Treatment

Policy Acquisition Costs

Principally brokerage commissions and premium taxes arising from the issuance of insurance contracts.

 

Costs are immediately expensed and are included in Other Underwriting Expenses, except for reinsurance ceding commissions received in excess of the cost to acquire business which are recognized as a deferred liability and amortized over the period of the reinsurance agreement.

 

 

Costs directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts are deferred and amortized over the term of the related insurance coverage.

Unearned Premiums, Unpaid Losses and Loss Expense Liabilities  

Presented net of reinsurance.

 

Presented gross of reinsurance with corresponding reinsurance recoverable assets for ceded unearned premiums and reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses.

Retroactive reinsurance contracts  

Gains and losses are recognized in earnings immediately and surplus is segregated to the extent pretax gains are recognized. Certain retroactive affiliate or related party reinsurance contracts are accounted for as prospective reinsurance if there is no gain in surplus as a result of the transaction.

 

Gains are deferred and amortized over the settlement period of the ceded claim recoveries. Losses are immediately recognized in the Statements of Operations.

Investments in Bonds held as:

1) available for sale

2) fair value option

 

Investment grade securities (rated by NAIC as class 1 or 2) are carried at amortized cost. Non-investment grade securities (NAIC rated 3 to 6) are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

 

All available for sale investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value, net of applicable taxes, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholder’s equity.

 

Fair value option investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value, net of applicable projected income taxes, reported in Net Investment Income.

Investments in Common Stocks  

Carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of applicable taxes, in the Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus.

 

All equity securities that do not follow the equity method of accounting, are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

Transactions

  NAIC SAP Treatment   US GAAP Treatment
Investments in Limited Partnerships, Hedge Funds and Private Equity Interests  

Carried at the underlying US GAAP equity with results from the investment’s operations recorded, net of applicable taxes, as unrealized gains (losses) directly in the Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus.

 

If aggregate interests allow the holding entity to exercise more than significant influence (typically more than 3%), the investment is recorded as an equity method investment wherein the Company’s pro rata share of income or loss for the period, is recorded as net investment income and adjusted against the carrying value of the asset. Similar equity method investments in investment company entities (e.g.: hedge funds) is adjusted for the Company’s pro rata share of income or loss for the period which is based on the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) with changes in value recorded to Net Investment Income.

 

Where the aggregate interests do not allow the entity to exercise significant influence (typically less than 3%), the investment is recorded as equity investment fair valued through net investment income. Similar equity investment in investment companies (e.g.: hedge funds) are recorded at NAV with changes in value recorded to Net Investment Income.

Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities (SCAs)  

Subsidiaries are not consolidated.

 

The equity investment in SCAs is accounted for

under the equity method and recorded as Common stock investments. Dividends are recorded within Net Investment Income.

 

Consolidation is required when there is a determination that the affiliated entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the reporting entity has a variable interest and the power to direct the activities of the VIE. The VIE assessment would consider various factors including limited partnership (LP) status and inherent rights of equity investors.

 

Investments in SCAs that are voting interest entities (VOE) with majority voting rights are generally consolidated.

 

Investments in SCAs where the holding entity exercises significant influence (generally ownership of >3% voting interests for LPs and similar entities and between 20 percent and 50 percent for other entities) are recorded at equity value. The change in equity is included within Net Investment Income.

Other-than-temporary impairments  

Bonds, other than loan-backed and structured securities, which are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired, are written down to fair value with a realized loss recognized in the Statements of Operations.

 

The non-credit portion of impairments relating to debt securities that the entity does not intend to sell and for which it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell before anticipated recovery is recorded in other comprehensive income.

Derivatives  

Embedded derivatives are not separated from the host contract and not accounted for separately as derivative instruments.

 

Contracts may include embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host contracts and accounted for separately at fair value.

Statement of Cash Flows  

Statutory Statements of Cash Flows must be presented using the direct method. Changes in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments and certain sources of cash are excluded from operational cash flows.

 

The Statements of Cash Flows can be presented using the direct or indirect methods, however are typically presented using the indirect method. Presentation is limited to changes in cash and cash equivalents (short-term investments are excluded).

Transactions

  NAIC SAP Treatment   US GAAP Treatment
Deferred Federal Income Taxes  

Deferred income taxes are established for the temporary differences between tax and book assets and liabilities, subject to limitations on admissibility of tax assets.

 

Changes in deferred income taxes are recorded within capital and surplus and have no impact on the Statements of Operations.

 

The provision for deferred income taxes is recorded as a component of income tax expense, as a component of the Statements of Operations, except for changes associated with items that are included within other comprehensive income where such items are recorded net of applicable income taxes.

Statutory Adjustments

(applied to certain assets including goodwill, furniture and equipment, prepaid expenses, overdue receivable balances and unsecured reinsurance amounts)

 

Certain asset balances designated as nonadmitted, such as some intangible assets and certain investments in affiliated entities are excluded from the Statements of Admitted Assets and are reflected as deductions from capital and surplus.

 

All assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements. Provisions for uncollectible receivables are established as valuation allowances and are recognized as expense within the Statements of Operations.

Stock Repurchase  

When a reporting entity’s stock is acquired and retired the cost of the acquired and retired stock reduces statutory surplus. The capital stock account shall be reduced by the par value of the acquired and retired stock and the paid-in or contributed surplus is reduced by the excess of cost over par value or stated value.

 

The cost of a repurchase of shares in excess of par is allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings or the excess may be charged entirely to retained earnings.

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between NAIC SAP and US GAAP, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

Significant Statutory Accounting Policies

 

Premiums

 

Premiums for insurance and reinsurance contracts are recorded as gross premiums written as of the effective date of the policy. Premiums are earned primarily on a pro-rata basis over the term of the related insurance coverage. Premiums collected prior to the effective date of the policy are recorded as an advance premium liability and not considered income until due. Extended reporting endorsements are reflected as premiums written and are earned on a pro-rata basis over the stated term of the endorsement unless the term of the endorsement is indefinite, in which case premiums are fully earned at inception of the endorsement along with the recognition of associated loss and LAE.

Unearned premium reserves are established on an individual policy basis, reflecting the terms and conditions of the coverage being provided. Unearned premium reserves represent the portion of premiums written relating to the unexpired terms of coverage as of the date of the financial statements. For policies with coverage periods equal to or greater than thirteen months and generally not subject to cancellation or modification by the Company, premiums are earned using a prescribed percentage of completion method. Additional unearned premium reserves for policies exceeding thirteen months are established as greater of three prescribed tests.

Reinsurance premiums are typically earned over the same period as the underlying policies, or risks, covered by the contracts. As a result, the earnings pattern of a reinsurance contract generally written for a 12 month term may extend up to 24 months, reflecting the inception dates of the underlying attaching policies throughout the 12 month period of the reinsurance contract. Reinsurance premiums ceded are recognized as a reduction in revenues over the period reinsurance coverage is provided.

Insurance premiums billed and outstanding for 90 days or more are nonadmitted and charged against Unassigned funds (surplus).

Premiums for retrospectively rated contracts are initially recorded based on the expected loss experience and are earned on a pro-rata basis over the term of the related insurance coverage. Additional or returned premium is recorded if the estimated loss experience differs from the initial estimate and is immediately recognized in earned premium. The Company records accrued retrospectively rated premiums as written premiums. Adjustments to premiums for changes in the level of exposure to insurance risk are generally determined based upon audits conducted after the policy expiration date.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the admitted portion of accrued premiums related to the Company’s retrospectively rated contracts were $213 and $264, respectively, which will be billed in future periods based primarily on the payment of the underlying expected losses and LAE. Unsecured amounts associated with these accrued retrospective premiums were $29 and $28 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Ten percent of the amount of accrued retrospective premiums receivable not offset by retrospective return premiums or other liabilities to the same party, other than loss and LAE reserves, or collateral (collectively referred to as the unsecured amount) have been nonadmitted in the amount of $4 and $4 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

High Deductible

 

 

The Company establishes loss reserves for high deductible policies net of the insured’s contractual deductible (such deductibles are referred to as “reserve credits”). The Company establishes a nonadmitted asset for ten percent of paid losses recoverable in excess of collateral held on an individual insured basis, or for one hundred percent of paid losses recoverable where no collateral is held and amounts are outstanding for more than ninety days. Additionally, the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for such paid losses recoverable in excess of collateral and after nonadmitted assets. Similarly, the Company does not recognize reserve credit offsets to its estimate of loss reserves where such credits are deemed uncollectible, as the Company ultimately bears credit risk on the underlying policies’ insurance obligations.

The following table shows the counterparty exposure on unpaid claims and billed recoverable on paid claims for high deductibles by line of business as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:

To conform to the current year presentation, the December 31, 2022 Gross Loss Reserves include both the Company’s layer as well as the insured’s contractual layer.

As of December 31, 2022, both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet collateral pledged to the Company related to deductible and paid recoverables was $151 and $2,622, respectively. Unsecured high deductible amounts related to unpaid claims and for paid recoverables for 2022 were $1,107, or 28.52% of the total high deductible. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, the Company had recoverables on paid claims greater than 90 days overdue of $11, of which $4 have been nonadmitted.

*Actual counterparty is not named and may vary year over year. Additionally, a group of entities under common control is regarded as a single counterparty.

Deposit Accounting

 

 

Direct insurance transactions where management determines there is insufficient insurance risk transfer are recorded as deposits unless the policy was issued (i) in respect of the insured’s requirement for evidence of coverage pursuant to applicable statutes (insurance statutes or otherwise), contractual terms or normal business practices, (ii) in respect of an excess insurer’s requirement for an underlying primary insurance policy in lieu of self-insurance, or (iii) in compliance with filed forms, rates and/or rating plans.

Assumed and ceded reinsurance contracts, which do not transfer a sufficient amount of insurance risk are recorded as deposits with the net consideration paid or received recognized as a deposit asset or liability, respectively. Deposit assets are admitted if (i) the assuming company is licensed, accredited or qualified by the PA DOI, or (ii) the collateral (i.e., funds withheld, letters of credit or trusts) provided by the reinsurer meets all the requirements of the NY SAP, as applicable. The deposit asset or liability is adjusted by calculating the effective yield on the deposit to reflect the actual payments made or received to date and expected future payments with a corresponding credit or charge to Other Income (Expense) in the Statements of Operations.

Deposit assets are recorded to Other assets within the Statements of Admitted Assets, refer to Note 11A. Deposit liabilities are recorded to Other liabilities within the Statements of Liabilities, Capital and Surplus, refer to Note 11B.

Premium Deficiency

 

 

The Company periodically reviews its expected ultimate losses with respect to its unearned premium reserves. A premium deficiency loss and related liability are established if the unearned premium reserves and related future investment income are collectively not sufficient to cover the expected ultimate loss projection. For purposes of premium deficiency tests, contracts are grouped in a manner consistent with how policies are marketed, serviced, and measured for the profitability of such contracts. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not incur any premium deficiency losses.

Retroactive Reinsurance

 

 

Reinsurance transactions involving the transfer of loss and LAE reserves associated with loss events that occurred prior to the effective date of the transfer are recorded as retroactive reinsurance and reported separately from Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses in the Statements of Liabilities, Capital and Surplus. Initial pre-tax gains or losses are recorded in Retroactive reinsurance gain within the Statements of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus with surplus gains recorded as Special surplus funds from reinsurance, which is a component of Capital and Surplus that is restricted from dividend payment. Amounts recorded in Special surplus funds from reinsurance are considered to be earned surplus (i.e., transferred to Unassigned surplus) only when, and to the extent that, cash recoveries from the assuming entity exceed the consideration paid by the ceding entity. Special surplus funds from retroactive reinsurance are maintained separately for each respective retroactive reinsurance agreement; Special surplus funds from retroactive reinsurance account write-in entry on the balance sheet is adjusted, upward or downward, to reflect any subsequent increase or reduction in reserves ceded. The reduction in the special surplus funds is limited to the lesser of amounts recovered by the Company in excess of consideration paid or the surplus gain in relation to such agreement.

To the extent that the transfer of loss and LAE reserves associated with loss events that occurred prior to the effective date of the transfer is between affiliated entities and neither entity records a gain or loss in surplus, the transaction qualifies as an exception in the NAIC SAP accounting guidance and is accounted for as prospective reinsurance.

Insurance Related Acquisition Costs

 

 

Commissions, premium taxes, and certain underwriting costs are expensed as incurred and are included in Other underwriting expenses. The Company records an unearned ceding commission accrual equal to the excess of the ceding commissions received from reinsurers compared to the anticipated acquisition cost of the business ceded. This amount is amortized as an increase to income over the effective period of the reinsurance agreement in proportion to the amount of insurance coverage provided.

Provisions for Allowances and Unauthorized or Overdue Reinsurance

 

 

The recoverability of certain assets, including insurance receivables with counterparties, is reviewed periodically by management. A minimum reserve, as required under the NAIC Annual Statement Instructions for Property and Casualty Companies for Schedule F–Provision for Overdue Reinsurance for uncollectible reinsurance is recorded with an additional reserve required if an entity’s experience indicates that a higher amount should be provided. The minimum reserve is recorded as a liability and the change between years is recorded as a gain or loss directly to Unassigned fund (surplus) in the Statement of Liabilities, Capital and Surplus. Any reserve over the minimum amount is recorded on the statement of operations by reversing the accounts previously utilized to establish the reinsurance recoverable. Various factors are taken into consideration when assessing the recoverability of these asset balances including: the age of the related amounts due and the nature of the unpaid balance; disputed balances, historical recovery rates and any significant decline in the credit standing of the counterparty. PA SAP is applied in the determination of the Company’s Provision for reinsurance with concurrence from the NY DFS.

Reserves for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

 

 

Reserves for case IBNR and LAE losses are determined on the basis of actuarial specialists’ evaluations and other estimates, including historical loss experience. The methods of making such estimates and for establishing the resulting reserves are reviewed and updated based on available information, and any resulting adjustments are recorded in the current period. Accordingly, newly established reserves for losses and LAE, or subsequent changes, are charged to income as incurred. In the event of loss recoveries through reinsurance agreements, loss and LAE reserves are reported net of reinsurance amounts recoverable for unpaid losses and LAE. Losses and LAE ceded through reinsurance are netted against losses and LAE incurred. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsurance policy based upon the terms of the underlying contract. See Note 5 for further discussion of policies and methodologies for estimating the liabilities and losses.

Workers’ compensation reserves are discounted in accordance with NY DFS statutes; see Note 5 for further details.

Salvage and subrogation recoverables are estimated using past experience adjusted for current trends, and any other factors that would modify past experience. Estimated salvage and subrogation recoveries (net of associated expenses) are deducted from the liability for unpaid claims or losses.

Structured Settlements

 

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into structured settlements to settle certain claims. Structured settlements involve the purchase of an annuity to fund future claim obligations. In the event the life insurers providing the annuity, on certain structured settlements, are not able to meet their obligations, the Company would be liable for the payments of benefits. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has not incurred a loss and there has been no default by any of the life insurers included in the transactions. Management believes that based on the financial strength of the life insurers involved in these structured settlements (mostly affiliates) the likelihood of a loss is remote.

The estimated loss reserves eliminated by such structured settlement annuities and the unrecorded loss contingencies as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $1,082 and $1,104, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had annuities with aggregate statement values in excess of one percent of its policyholders’ surplus with life insurer affiliates as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

 

The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally inversely correlates with the level of observable valuation inputs. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments for which no quoted prices are available have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, liquidity and general market conditions.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three ‘levels’ based upon the observability of inputs available in the marketplace as discussed below:

 

 

Level 1: Fair value measurements that are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. The quoted price for such instruments is not subject to adjustment.

 

Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, we must make certain assumptions as to the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out at the end of the reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value (See Note 4 for the balance and activity of financial instruments). The valuation methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

 

 

The fair values of bonds, mortgage loans, unaffiliated common stocks and preferred stocks are based on fair values that reflect the price at which a security would sell in an arm’s length transaction between a willing buyer and seller. As such, sources of valuation include third party pricing sources, stock exchanges, brokers or custodians or the NAIC Capital Markets and Investment Analysis Office (“NAIC IAO”).

 

The fair value of derivatives is determined using quoted prices in active markets and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based updates, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources.

 

The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short term nature.

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

 

 

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments, with original maturities of three months or less, that are both; (a) readily convertible to known amounts of cash; and (b) so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Highly liquid debt securities with maturities of greater than three months but less than twelve months from the date of purchase are classified as short-term investments. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value.

Bonds and Loan Backed and Structured Securities (excluding non-rated residual tranches or interests)

 

 

Bonds include any securities representing a creditor relationship, whereby there is a fixed schedule for one or more future payments such as US government agency securities, municipal securities, corporate and convertible bonds, and fixed income instruments. Loan-backed and structured securities (“LBaSS”) include residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), asset-backed securities (“ABS”), pass-through securities, lease-backed securities, equipment trust certificates, loan-backed securities issued by special purpose corporations or trusts, and securities where there is not direct recourse to the issuer.

Bonds and LBaSS with an NAIC IAO designation of “1” or “2” (considered to be investment grade) are carried at amortized cost. Bonds and LBaSS with an NAIC designation of “3”, “4”, “5”, “5GI”, “6” or “6*” (considered to be non-investment grade) are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. LBaSS fair values are primarily determined using independent pricing services and broker quotes. Bonds and LBaSS that have not been filed with the NAIC IAO, and have not received a designation in over a year, are assigned a 5GI or 6* designation depending on if the obligor is current on contracted principal and interest. Bond and LBaSS securities are assigned a 5GI designation when the following conditions are met: a) the documentation required for a full credit analysis did not exist, b) the issuer/obligor has made all contractual interest and principal payments, and c) an expectation of repayment of interest and principal exists. Amortization of premium or discount on bonds and LBaSS is calculated using the effective yield method.

Additionally, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and ABS prepayment assumptions are obtained from an outside vendor or internal estimates. The retrospective adjustment method is used to account for the effect of unscheduled payments affecting high credit quality securities, while securities with less than high credit quality and securities for which the collection of all contractual cash flows is not probable are both accounted for using the prospective adjustment method.

Non-rated residual tranches or interests

 

 

Non-rated residual tranches or interests are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Changes in carrying value are record as Unrealized gains or (losses) in the Statement of Changes in Capital and Surplus.

Mortgage Loans

 

 

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at unpaid principal balances, net of unamortized premiums, discounts and impairments. Pre-payments of principal are recorded as a reduction in the mortgage loan balance. If a mortgage loan provides for a prepayment penalty or acceleration fee in the event the loan is liquidated prior to its scheduled termination date, such fees are reported as investment income when received. Interest income includes interest collected, the change in interest income due and accrued, the change in unearned interest income, and the amortization of premiums, discounts, and deferred fees.

Impaired loans are identified by management as loans in which it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The Company accrues income on impaired loans to the extent it is deemed collectible and the loan continues to perform under its original or restructured contractual terms. Non-performing loan interest income that is delinquent more than 90 days is generally recognized on a cash basis.

Mortgage loans are considered impaired when collection of all amounts due under contractual terms is not probable. Impairment is measured using either i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, ii) the loan’s observable market price, if available, or iii) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance is typically established for the difference between the impaired value of the loan and its current carrying amount. Additional allowance amounts are established for incurred but not specifically identified impairments, based on statistical models primarily driven by past due status, debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratio, property occupancy, profile of the borrower and of the major property tenants, and economic trends in the market where the property is located. When all or a portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion of the carrying amount of the loan is charged off against the allowance.

Preferred Stocks

 

 

Perpetual preferred stocks with an NAIC rating of “P1” or “P2”, having characteristics of equity securities are carried at fair value. Redeemable preferred stocks with an NAIC rating of “RP1” or “RP2”, which have characteristics of debt securities, are carried at book value. All preferred stocks with an NAIC rating of “3” through “6” are carried at the lower of book or fair value.

Unaffiliated Common Stock Securities

 

 

Unaffiliated common stock investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as Unrealized gains or (losses) in Unassigned funds (surplus), or as realized losses in the event a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary. For FHLB capital stock, which is only redeemable at par, the fair value shall be presumed to be par, unless considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Investments in subsidiaries and affiliated companies

 

 

Investments in non-publicly traded affiliates are recorded based on the underlying equity of the respective entity’s financial statements as presented on a basis consistent with the nature of the affiliates’ operations (including any nonadmitted amounts). The Company’s share of undistributed earnings and losses of affiliates is recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in Unassigned surplus.

Investments in joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies

 

 

Other invested assets include joint ventures and partnerships and are accounted for under the equity method, based on the most recent financial statements of the entity. Changes in carrying value are recorded as unrealized gains (losses). Additionally, other invested assets include investments in collateralized loans that are recorded at the lower of amortized cost and the fair value of the underlying collateral. Changes in carrying value resulting from adjustments where the fair value is less than amortized cost are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in Unassigned surplus, while changes resulting from amortization are recorded as Net investment income.

Derivatives

 

 

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value using quoted prices in active markets and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to valuation models, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources, reduced by the amount of collateral held or posted by the Company with respect to the derivative position. Changes in carrying value are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) in Unassigned surplus.

Net investment income and gain/loss

 

 

Investment income is recorded as earned and includes interest, dividends and earnings from subsidiaries, loans and joint ventures. Realized gains or losses on the disposition or impairment of investments are determined on the basis of specific identification.

Investment income due and accrued is assessed for collectability. The Company records a valuation allowance on investment income receivable when it is probable that an amount is uncollectible by recording a charge against investment income in the period such determination is made. Any amounts receivable over 90 days past due, or 180 days past due for mortgage loans, that do not have a valuation allowance are nonadmitted by the Company.

If a bond is determined to have an OTTI in value the cost basis is written down to fair value as its new cost basis, with the corresponding charge to Net realized capital gains (losses) as a realized loss.

For bonds, other than loan-backed and structured securities, an OTTI shall be considered to have occurred if it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due under the original contractual terms.

For loan-backed and structured securities, an OTTI shall be considered to have occurred if the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost and management intends to sell or does not have the ability and intent to retain the security until recovery of the amortized cost (i.e., intent based impairment). When assessing the intent to sell a security, management evaluates relevant facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, decisions to rebalance the investment portfolio, sales of securities to meet cash flow needs and sales of securities to take advantage of favorable pricing.

In general, a security is considered for OTTI if it meets any of the following criteria:

 

 

The Company may not realize a full recovery on their investment based on lack of ability or intent to hold a security to recovery;

 

Fundamental credit risk of the issuer exists; or

 

Other qualitative/quantitative factors exist indicating an OTTI has occurred.

When a credit-related OTTI is present, the amount of OTTI recognized as a realized capital loss is equal to the difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and the present value of cash flows expected to be collected regardless of management’s ability or intent to hold the security.

Common and preferred stock investments whose fair value is less than their carrying value or is at a significant discount to acquisition value are considered to be potentially impaired. For securities with unrealized losses, an analysis is performed. Factors include:

 

 

If management intends to sell a security that is in an unrealized loss position then an OTTI loss is considered to have occurred;

 

If the investments are trading at a significant (25 percent or more) discount to par, amortized cost (if lower) or cost for an extended period of time based on facts and circumstances of the investment; or

 

If a discrete credit event occurs resulting in: (i) the issuer defaulting on a material outstanding obligation; (ii) the issuer seeking protection from creditors under bankruptcy law or any similar laws intended for court supervised reorganization of insolvent enterprises; or, (iii) the issuer proposing a voluntary reorganization pursuant to which creditors are asked to exchange their claims for cash or securities having a fair value substantially lower than par value of their claims; or

 

If there are other factors precluding a full recovery of the investment.

Limited partnership investments whose fair value is less than its book value with a significant unrealized loss are considered for OTTI. OTTI factors that are periodically considered include:

 

 

If an order of liquidation or other fundamental credit issues with the partnership exists;

 

If there is a significant reduction in scheduled cash flow activities between the Company and the partnership or fund during the year;

 

If there is an intent to sell, or the Company may be required to sell, the investment prior to the recovery of cost of the investment; or

 

If other qualitative/quantitative factors indicating an OTTI exist based on facts and circumstances of the investment.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

 

Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange prevailing at the period end date. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses and surplus adjustments, of non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars based on weighted average exchange rate for the period. All gains or losses due to translation adjustments are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) within Unassigned surplus in the Statements of Liabilities, Capital and Surplus. All realized gains and losses due to exchange differences between settlement date and transaction date resulting from foreign currency transactions, not in support of foreign insurance operations, are included in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus.

Retirement Plans, Deferred Compensation, Postemployment Benefits and Compensated Absences and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

 

 

The Company’s employees participate in various AIG-sponsored defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. AIG, as sponsor, is ultimately responsible for the maintenance of these plans in compliance with applicable laws. The Company is not directly liable for obligations under these plans. AIG charges the Company and its insurance company affiliates pursuant to intercompany expense sharing agreements; the expenses are then shared by the pool participants in accordance with the pooling agreement.

The Company incurred employee related costs related to defined benefit and defined contribution plans during 2023, 2022 and 2021 of $11, $6 and $4, respectively.

Income Taxes

 

 

The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with AIG. AIG has more than 200 subsidiaries which form part of this tax return. A complete listing of the participating subsidiaries is included in Note 8.

The Company is allocated U.S. federal income taxes based upon an amended and restated tax sharing agreement (the “Tax Sharing Agreement”) with AIG, effective January 1, 2023, and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. This agreement provides that the Company shall incur tax results that would have been paid or received by such company if it had filed a separate federal income tax return, with limited exceptions.

Additionally, while the agreement described above governs the current and deferred income tax recorded in the income tax provision, the amount of cash that will be paid or received for U.S. federal income taxes may at times be different. The terms of this agreement are based on principles consistent with the allocation of income tax expense or benefit on a separate company basis, except that:

 

 

The sections of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the Base Erosion Anti-abuse Tax (“BEAT”) are applied, but only if the AIG consolidated group is subject to BEAT in the Consolidated Tax Liability,

 

The impact of Deferred Intercompany Transactions (as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.1502-13(b)(1), if the “intercompany items” from such transaction, as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.1502-13(b)(2), have not been taken into account pursuant to the “matching rule” of Treas. Reg. §1.1502-13(c)), are excluded from current taxation, provided however, that the Company records the appropriate deferred tax asset and/or deferred tax liability related to the gain or loss and includes such gain or loss in its separate return tax liability in the subsequent tax year when the deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset becomes current; and

 

Regarding the CAMT, the Company (i) is excluded from charges for any portion of AIG’s CAMT, (ii) is not allocated any portion of AIG’s CAMT credit carryover (if any), and (iii) reasonably expects that AIG (and/or other members of the consolidated tax group) is meeting any CAMT obligations.

The Company has an enforceable right to recoup federal income taxes in the event of future net losses that it may incur or to recoup its net losses carried forward as an offset to future net income subject to federal income taxes.

Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, income tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions and tax authority audit adjustments (“TAAAs”) shall remain with the Company for which the income tax liabilities relate. Furthermore, if and when such income tax liabilities are realized or determined to no longer be necessary, the responsibility for any additional income tax liabilities, benefits or rights to any refunds due, remains with the Company.

In accordance with Circular Letter 1979-33 issued by the NY DFS, AIG shall establish and maintain an escrow account for amounts where the Company’s separate return liability exceeds the AIG consolidated tax liability. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s separate return liability did not exceed the AIG consolidated tax liability and therefore no amounts were maintained in escrow.

Deferred Taxes

 

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized (“adjusted gross deferred tax asset”). The evaluation of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires management to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it would be to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.

The Company’s framework for assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires it to consider all available evidence, including:

 

 

the nature, frequency, and amount of cumulative financial reporting income and losses in recent years;

 

the sustainability of recent operating profitability of our subsidiaries;

 

the predictability of future operating profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset;

 

the carryforward periods for the net operating loss, capital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards, including the effect of reversing taxable temporary differences; and

 

prudent and feasible actions and tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to protect against the loss of the deferred tax asset.

The adjusted gross deferred tax asset is then assessed for statutory admissibility. The reversing amount eligible for loss carryback or the amount expected to be realized in three years is admissible, subject to the defined surplus limitation. The remaining adjusted gross deferred tax asset can be admitted to the extent of offsetting deferred tax liabilities.

Accounting Adjustments to Statutory Basis Financial Statements

 

 

 

A.  

Change in Accounting Principles

 

In 2023, 2022 and 2021, there were no significant changes or modifications in the Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”).

Prior to the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, certain of the Company’s foreign property and casualty affiliates for which the Company provides internal reinsurance reported on the basis of a fiscal year ending November 30. Effective with the first quarter of the year ending December 31, 2023, these foreign property and casualty affiliates now report on a calendar year ending December 31. The elimination of a one-month reporting lag of these affiliates is considered a change in accounting principle and requires an adjustment to beginning surplus to record the cumulative effect of such change. Accordingly, in the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an adjustment of $14 to surplus.

In 2021, the Company changed its method of accounting from insurance to deposit accounting with respect to a specific insurance program. As a result of the change in accounting, any previously established reserves associated with the program were reversed resulting in favorable development and a new deposit liability was established. However, whether accounted for as insurance or deposit, there is no net impact to the Company’s net income, surplus, total assets and total liabilities given the underlying nature and structure of the program. The Company assessed the impact of the change in accounting on prior years and has concluded that the cumulative effect of the change had no net effect on net income or surplus. Refer to Note 5 for additional details around prior year development.

 

B.  

Adjustments to Surplus

 

 

During 2023, 2022 and 2021 the Company identified corrections that resulted in after-tax statutory adjustments to beginning capital and surplus of $25, $(15) and $0, respectively. In accordance with SSAP No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors (“SSAP 3”), the corrections of errors have been reported in the 2023, 2022 and 2021 statutory financial statements as adjustments to Unassigned surplus. The impact of the 2023 corrections would have increased the 2022 pre-tax income by $21 and did not impact the 2021 pre-tax income.. Management has concluded that the effects of these errors on the previously issued financial statements were immaterial based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis. The impact to surplus, assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2023, 2022 and 2021 is presented in the following tables:

An explanation for each of the adjustments for prior period corrections is described below:

Liability corrections - The decrease in total liabilities is primarily due to (a) an overstatement of assumed Loss reserves and (b) an overstatement of Unearned premium reserve.

Income tax corrections - The decrease in the tax assets and increase in tax liability is primarily the result of (a) corrections to prior period balances for adjustments to the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities and (b) the tax effect of the corresponding change in asset realization and liability corrections.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

 

The Company holds currency derivatives, interest rate derivatives and credit default swaps. Derivative products include currency swaps, interest rate swaps, currency forwards and default swaps. The Company’s currency derivative were entered into to manage risk from currency exchange rate fluctuations, and the impact of such fluctuations to surplus and cash flows on investments or loss reserves. While not accounted for under hedge accounting, the currency derivatives are economic hedges of the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the value of receipts on certain investments held by the Company denominated in foreign currencies (primarily GBP and EUR), or of the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in recorded amounts of loss reserves denominated in foreign currencies (primarily JPY). Additionally, interest rate derivatives were entered into to manage risk from fluctuating interest rates in the market, and the impact of such fluctuations to surplus and cash flows on investments or loss reserves. The interest rate derivatives are cash flow hedges of the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on investments in collateralized loan obligations. The Company’s credit default swaps were entered into to manage credit risk exposure to reinsurance counterparties.

Market Risk

The Company is exposed under these types of contracts to fluctuations in value of the swaps and forwards and variability of cash flows due to changes in interest rates and exchange rates.

Credit Risk

The current credit exposure of the Company’s derivative contracts is limited to the fair value of such contracts. Credit risk is managed by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining collateral.

Cash Requirements

The Company is subject to collateral requirements on some of the Company’s derivative contracts. Additionally, the Company is required to make currency exchanges on fixed dates and fixed amounts or fixed exchange rates, or make a payment in the amount of foreign currency physically received on certain foreign denominated investments. For interest rate swaps, the Company is required to either make payments based on benchmark interest rates and in exchange receive fixed rate payments or make fixed rate payments and in exchange receive payments based on benchmark interest rates. For credit default swaps, the Company is required to make premium payments on a fixed payment date.

The Company has determined that the currency and interest rate derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting under the criteria set forth in SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Transactions (“SSAP 86”). As a result, the Company’s currency and interest rate contracts are accounted for at fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains (losses) within the Statements of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus until the contract expires, paid down or is redeemed early. In the event a contract is fully redeemed before its expiration, the related unrealized amounts will be recognized in Net realized capital gains (losses). Furthermore, if the contract has periodic payments or fully matures, any related unrealized amounts are recognized in Net investment income earned.

The Company did not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivatives for any period in these financial statements. The following tables summarize the outstanding notional amounts, the fair values and the realized and unrealized gains or losses of the derivative financial instruments held by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data or when the asset is no longer carried at fair value. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific event, one or more significant inputs becoming observable or when a long-term interest rate significant to a valuation becomes short-term and this observable. Transfers out of Level 3 can also occur due to favorable credit migration resulting in a higher NAIC designation. Securities are generally transferred into Level 3 due to a decrease in market transparency, downward credit migration and an overall increase in price disparity for certain individual security types. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out at the end of the reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value.

The table below presents information about the significant unobservable inputs used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments, and includes only those instruments for which information about the inputs is reasonably available to us, such as data from independent third-party valuation service providers and from internal valuation models. Because input information from third-parties with respect to certain Level 3 instruments may not be reasonably available to the Company, balances shown below may not equal total amounts reported for such Level 3 assets.

During 2023, after applying the impact of the ADC, the Company reported net favorable incurred loss and LAE of approximately $29. This favorable incurred includes $8 favorable due to changes in discount as a result of interest rate fluctuation. This results in a favorable prior year development (“PYD”) of $21.

The favorable PYD was mostly driven by favorable development in Workers Compensation and Personal Insurance, partially offset by adverse development in Other Liability Claims Made and Special Property.

During 2022, after applying the impact of the ADC, the Company reported net unfavorable incurred loss and LAE of approximately $23. This unfavorable incurred includes $50 unfavorable due to changes in discount as a result of interest rate fluctuation. This results in a favorable PYD of $27.

The favorable PYD was driven by favorable development in Personal Insurance, partially offset by adverse development in Commercial Insurance.

During 2021, after applying the impact of the ADC, the Company reported net favorable incurred loss and LAE of approximately $64. This favorable incurred includes $22 favorable due to changes in discount as a result of interest rate fluctuation. This results in a net favorable PYD of $42.

The favorable PYD is generally a result of the following:

 

   

Strong favorable development in Personal Insurance, primarily attributable to subrogation recovery related to the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires;

   

Favorable development on U.S. Workers Compensation and short-tailed commercial lines within Other Product Lines, reflecting lower frequency and severity in recent calendar years;

The above favorable development is partially offset by unfavorable development as a result of the following:

 

   

U.S. Property and Special Risk Commercial lines were adversely impacted by the impact of dropping below the attachment point of the 2018 catastrophe aggregate treaty;

   

Reserve strengthening within U.S. Financial Lines, reflecting higher severity of claims in Directors & Officers and cyber risk;

   

Unfavorable development primarily attributed to the Blackboard insurance portfolio due to increased severity on reported claims.

The Company’s reserves for losses and LAE have been reduced for anticipated salvage and subrogation of $202, $204 and $214 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company paid $8, $8 and $15 in the reporting period to settle 86, 98 and 112 claims related to extra contractual obligations or bad faith claims stemming from lawsuits for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

A.

Asbestos/Environmental Reserves

 

 

The Company has indemnity claims asserting injuries from toxic waste, hazardous substances, asbestos and other environmental pollutants and alleged damages to cover the clean-up costs of hazardous waste dump sites (environmental claims). Estimation of environmental claims loss reserves is a difficult process, as these claims, which emanate from policies written in 1986 and prior years, cannot be estimated by conventional reserving techniques. Environmental claims development is affected by factors such as inconsistent court resolutions, the broadening of the intent of policies and scope of coverage and increasing number of new claims. The Company and other industry members have and will continue to litigate the broadening judicial interpretation of policy coverage and the liability issues. If the courts continue in the future to expand the intent of the policies and the scope of the coverage, as they have in the past, additional liabilities would emerge for amounts in excess of reserves held. This emergence cannot now be reasonably estimated, but could have a material impact on the Company’s future operating results or financial position.

Discounting of Liabilities for Unpaid Losses or Unpaid Loss Adjustment Expenses

 

 

The Company discounts its workers’ compensation (both tabular and non-tabular) reserves.

The calculation of the Company’s tabular discount is based upon the mortality table used in the 2007 US Decennial Life Table, and applying a weighted average discount rate of 3.70 percent and 3.76 percent interest rate as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The tabular reserve is capped at 45% of total outstanding reserve discount. Only case basis reserves are subject to tabular discounting. The December 31, 2023 and 2022 liabilities include $538 and $616 of such discounted reserves, respectively.

The Company became a thirty two percent participant in the Combined Pool pursuant to the aforementioned amendment to the Combined Pooling Agreement. As a result, the special surplus of $69 on the gain from retroactive reinsurance ceded related to the decreased pool participation percentage reduced aggregate write-ins for special surplus funds with a corresponding increase in Unassigned surplus.

The Company did not change its methods of establishing terms regarding any transactions with its affiliates during the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.

D. Guarantees or Contingencies for Related Parties

 

 

The Company has issued guarantees whereby it unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees all present and future obligations and liabilities arising from the policies of insurance issued by certain insurers who, as of the guarantee issue date, were members of the AIG holding company group. The guarantees were provided in order to secure or maintain the guaranteed companies’ rating status issued by certain rating agencies, as disclosed in Note 10.

E. Management, Service Contract and Cost Sharing Arrangements

 

 

As an affiliated company of AIG, the Company utilizes centralized services from AIG and its affiliates. The Company is allocated a charge for these services, based on the amount of incremental expense associated with operating the Company as a separate legal entity. The amount of expense allocated to the Company each period was determined based on an analysis of services provided to the Company.

The following table summarizes fees incurred related to affiliates that exceeded one-half of one percent of the Company’s admitted assets during 2023, 2022 and 2021:

*AIG PC Global Services, Inc. is below one-half of one percent in 2021.

F. Borrowed Money

 

 

The Company (among other affiliates) is a borrower under a Loan Agreement, with AIG, as lender, pursuant to which the Company may borrow funds from AIG from time to time (the “Loan Facility”). The aggregate amount of all loans that may be outstanding under the Loan Facility at a given time is $500. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no outstanding liability pursuant to this Loan Facility.

Significant debt terms and covenants include the following:

 

   

The Company must preserve and maintain its legal existence while maintaining all rights, privileges and franchises necessary to the normal conduct of its business;

   

The Company must take, or cause to be taken, all other actions reasonably necessary or desirable to preserve and defend the rights of the Lender to payment hereunder, and to assure to the Lender the benefits hereof; and

   

The Company must not merge with or into or consolidate with any other person, sell, transfer or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or undergo any change in the control of its voting stock unless (a) such merger or consolidation is with or into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lender, (b) such sale or transfer is to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lender or (c) The Company receives the prior written authorization from the Lender.

There have been no violations of the terms and covenants associated with the debt issuance.

Refer to Note 11 E regarding funds borrowed from FHLB.

7. Reinsurance

 

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may use both treaty and facultative reinsurance to minimize its net loss exposure to a) any single catastrophic loss event; b) an accumulation of losses from a number of smaller events; or c) provide greater risk diversification. Based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts, a portion of expected IBNR losses will be recoverable in accordance with terms of the reinsurance protection purchased. This determination is necessarily based on the estimate of IBNR and accordingly, is subject to the same uncertainties as the estimate of IBNR. Ceded amounts related to paid and unpaid losses and loss expenses with respect to these reinsurance agreements are generally substantially collateralized. The Company remains liable to the extent that the reinsurers do not meet their obligation under the reinsurance contracts after any collateral is exhausted, and as such, the financial condition of the reinsurers is regularly evaluated and monitored for concentration of credit risk. In addition, the Company assumes reinsurance from other insurance companies.

** Hannover Re Group is below 3% threshold for 2022.

 

C.  

Reinsurance Recoverable in Dispute

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate of all disputed items did not exceed ten percent of capital and surplus and there were no amounts in dispute for any single reinsurer that exceeded five percent of capital and surplus. The total reinsurance recoverable balances in dispute are $35 and $16 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

D.  

Retroactive Reinsurance

 

On January 20, 2017, the Combined Pool entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement with NICO under which the Combined Pool ceded to NICO eighty percent of its reserve risk above an attachment point on substantially all of its U.S. Commercial long-tail exposures for accident years 2015 and prior. Under this agreement, the Combined Pool ceded to NICO eighty percent of net paid losses on subject business on or after January 1, 2016 in excess of $25,000 of net paid losses, up to an aggregate limit of $25,000. At NICO’s 80 percent share, NICO’s limit of liability under the contract is $20,000. The Combined Pool paid consideration of approximately $10,188 in February 2017, including interest at 4 percent per annum from January 1, 2016 through date of payment. American Home’s share of the consideration paid was $3,566. NICO placed the consideration received into a collateral trust account as security for NICO’s claim payment obligations, and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has provided a parental guarantee to secure NICO’s obligations under the agreement.

American Home accounted for this transaction as prospective reinsurance, except that the surplus gain associated with the ADC has been reported in a segregated surplus account and does not form a part of the Company’s Unassigned surplus.

The total surplus gain recognized by the Combined Pool as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $1,514, $1,522, and $1,996, respectively. American Home’s share of this gain as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $627, $664 and $685, respectively. The surplus gain is presented as segregated surplus and subject to the applicable dividend restrictions. This amount must be restricted in surplus until such time as the actual retroactive reinsurance recovered from NICO exceeds the consideration paid for the cession.

 

E.  

Reinsurance Agreements Qualifying for Reinsurer Aggregation

 

In 2011, the Combined Pool companies entered into a loss portfolio transfer reinsurance agreement with Eaglestone, an affiliate, which provides coverage up to a limit of $5,000 for the Pool’s net asbestos exposures. Effective the same date, Eaglestone retroceded the majority of this exposure to NICO, an unaffiliated company. NICO provides coverage up to a limit of $3,500 for subject business covered under the agreement. NICO administers claims and pursues amounts recoverable from the Combined Pool companies’ reinsurers with respect to paid losses and loss adjustment expenses. To the extent that the prior reinsurers pay, the amounts are collected and retained by NICO. NICO maintains funds in trust for the benefit of Eaglestone under the contract; as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the amount in trust was $4,764 and $4,282 , respectively. The amount of the unexhausted limit under the NICO agreement as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $990 and $1,004 , respectively. The Company has accounted for its cession to Eaglestone as prospective reinsurance.

Income Taxes

 

U.S. TAX LAW CHANGES

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) of 2022 (H.R. 5376), which finances climate and energy provisions and an extension of enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act. Key provisions include a 15 percent corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on adjusted financial statement income for corporations with average profits over $1 billion over a three-year period, a 1 percent stock buyback tax, increased IRS enforcement funding, and Medicare’s new ability to negotiate prescription drug prices. CAMT and the stock buyback tax are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2023, the Company is considered an applicable reporting entity with tax allocation agreement exclusions. Therefore, the Company is not required to calculate or recognize CAMT in its current or deferred tax computations, and there is no impact of the CAMT included in the fourth quarter 2023 financial statements.

The components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets/liabilities (“DTA”/“DTL”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

At December 31, 2023, the Company recorded gross deferred tax assets (“DTA”) of $586. A valuation allowance was established on deferred tax assets net of liabilities of $43 as it is management’s belief that certain assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Tax planning strategies had no impact on the determination of the net admitted DTA.

The following table shows the summary of the calculation for the net admitted DTA as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards

  

At December 31, 2023 the Company had foreign tax credits expiring through the year 2033 of:

   $     28  

There were no deposits reported as admitted assets under Section 6603 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code as of December 31, 2023. The Company does not believe that the liability related to any federal or foreign tax loss contingencies will significantly change within the next 12 months. A reasonable estimate of such change cannot be made at this time.

As of December 31, 2023, there was a $3 liability related to tax return errors and omissions and a $17 liability related to uncertain tax positions.

The U.S. is the only major tax jurisdiction of the Company. The Company is currently under examination by the IRS for the tax years 2011 through 2019 and are engaging in the Appeals process for certain disagreed issues related to tax years 2007 through 2010.

Capital and Surplus and Dividend Restrictions

 

 

A.

Dividend Restrictions

 

Under New York law, the Company may pay dividends only from Unassigned surplus determined on a statutory basis.

New York domiciled companies are restricted (on the basis of the lower of 10 percent of statutory earned surplus as defined in NY Insurance Law section 4105, adjusted for special surplus items, as of the last statement on file with the Superintendent, or 100 percent of adjusted net investment income for the preceding thirty-six month period ended as of the last statement on file with the Superintendent) as to the amount of ordinary dividends they may declare or pay in any twelve-month period without the prior approval of the NY DFS. The maximum dividend amount the Company can pay in 2023, as of December 31, 2023 is $483.

Other than the limitations above, there are no restrictions placed on the portion of Company profits that may be paid as ordinary dividends to the stockholders.

The Company paid the following dividends during 2023.

Contingencies

 

 

A.

Legal Proceedings

 

In the normal course of business, AIG and its subsidiaries are, like others in the insurance and financial services industries in general, subject to regulatory and government investigations and actions, and litigation and other forms of dispute resolution in a large number of proceedings pending in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Certain of these matters involve potentially significant risk of loss due to potential for significant jury awards and settlements, punitive damages or other penalties. Many of these matters are also highly complex and seek recovery on behalf of a class or similarly large number of plaintiffs. It is therefore inherently difficult to predict the size or scope of potential future losses arising from these matters. In AIG’s insurance and reinsurance operations, litigation and arbitration concerning the scope of coverage under insurance and reinsurance contracts, and litigation and arbitration in which its subsidiaries defend or indemnify their insureds under insurance contracts, are generally considered in the establishment of loss reserves. Separate and apart from the foregoing matters involving insurance and reinsurance coverage, AIG, its subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors are subject to a variety of additional types of legal proceedings brought by holders of AIG securities, customers, employees and others, alleging, among other things, breach of contractual or fiduciary duties, bad faith and violations of federal and state statutes and regulations. With respect to these other categories of matters not arising out of claims for insurance or reinsurance coverage, the Company establishes reserves for loss contingencies when it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many instances, the Company is unable to determine whether a loss is probable or to reasonably estimate the amount of such a loss and, therefore, the potential future losses arising from legal proceedings may exceed the amount of liabilities that has been recorded in its financial statements covering these matters. While such potential future charges could be material, based on information currently known to management, management does not

believe, other than may be discussed below, that any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

Additionally, from time to time, various regulatory and governmental agencies review the transactions and practices of AIG and its subsidiaries in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries into, among other matters, the business practices of current and former operating insurance subsidiaries. The Company has cooperated, and will continue to cooperate, in producing documents and other information in response to such requests.

B. Leases

 

 

Lease expenses are allocated to the Company based upon the percentage of space occupied with the final share of cost based upon its percentage participation in the Combined Pool.

C. Other Commitments

 

 

As part of its hedge fund, private equity and real estate equity portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2023, the Company may be called upon for additional capital investments of up to $486.

At December 31, 2023 the Company had $28 of outstanding commitments related to various funding obligations associated with investments in commercial and residential mortgage loans.

 

D.  

Guarantees

 

 

The Company had issued guarantees whereby it unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed all present and future obligations and liabilities arising from the policies of insurance issued by certain insurers who, as of the guarantee issue date, were members of the AIG holding company group. The guarantees were provided in order to secure or maintain the guaranteed companies’ rating status issued by certain rating agencies. The Company would be required to perform under the guarantee in the event that a guaranteed entity failed to make payments due under policies of insurance issued during the period of the guarantee. The Company has not been required to perform under any of the guarantees. The Company remains contingently liable for all policyholder obligations associated with insurance policies issued by the guaranteed entity during the period in which the guarantee was in force.

Each guaranteed entity has reported invested assets in excess of their direct (prior to reinsurance) policyholder liabilities. Additionally, the Company is party to an agreement with AIG whereby AIG has agreed to make any payments due under the guarantees in the Company’s place and stead. Furthermore, for any former affiliate that has been sold, the purchaser has provided the Company with hold harmless agreements relative to the guarantee of the divested affiliate. Accordingly, management believes that the likelihood of payment under any of the guarantees is remote.

* Current affiliates

**AIA was formerly as subsidiary of AIG, Inc. In previous years AIA provided the direct policyholder obligations as of each year end. However, starting in 2014 AIA declined to provide financial information related to these guarantees. The financial information reflects amounts as of December 31, 2012, at which time the guaranteed entities had invested assets in excess of direct policyholder obligations and were in a positive surplus position. Such amounts continue to remain the Company’s best estimate given available financial information. The guaranteed policyholder obligations will decline as the policies expire.

E. Joint and Several Liabilities

 

 

AIUI and the Company are jointly and severally obligated to the policyholders of their Japan branches, in connection with transfers of the business of those Japan branches to Japan-domiciled affiliates in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Under the terms of the transfer agreement, the Japan affiliates have agreed to be responsible for 100% of the obligations associated with such policies, and management expects such companies to satisfy their obligation. The Company carries no reserves with respect to such liabilities. The Japanese affiliates carried $4 and $7 of loss reserves in respect of such policies as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, if the Japan affiliates were to fail to satisfy their obligations, the Company’s share of the aggregate exposure under the pooling agreement is $2.

Each Pool member is also jointly and severally obligated to the other Pool members, in proportion to their pool share, in the event any other Pool member fails.
