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.

 

 

18


Table of Contents

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT FIVE

AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

An assumed interest rate between 3.50 percent and 5.0 percent is used in determining annuity payments for all products.

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, AGL 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 AGL, 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, AGL 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. AGL will periodically review changes in the tax law. AGL 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 AGL as follows:

Separate Account Annual Charges: Deductions for the mortality and expense risk charges and distribution 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 AGL. The mortality risk charge represents compensation to AGL 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 AGL for assuming the risk that the current contract administration charges will be insufficient to cover the cost of administering the contract in the future. The distribution expense charge covers all expenses associated with the distribution of the contract. These charges are included on the mortality and expense risk and administrative charges line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

*

The distribution charge is deducted at an annual rate of 0.15 percent of the net asset value of each portfolio and is included in the respective separate account annual charge rate.

Contract Maintenance Charge: During the accumulation phase, an annual contract maintenance charge is assessed by AGL 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 AGL 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.

The contract maintenance charge ranges from $30 to $35 for certain contracts. No contract maintenance charge is assessed under the Seasons Advisor and Seasons Advisor II contracts.

Withdrawal Charge: A withdrawal charge is applicable to certain contract withdrawals pursuant to the contract and is payable to AGL. 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.

Withdrawal charges may be assessed for withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount as defined in the contracts. Withdrawal amounts in excess of the free withdrawal amount are assessed withdrawal charges based on tables of charges applicable to specific contracts.

The maximum withdrawal charge of 9 percent is assessed on amount withdrawn in excess of free withdrawals. There are no withdrawal charges under the Seasons Advisor, Seasons Advisor II and Seasons Advisor III contracts.

Transfer Fee: A transfer fee may be assessed on each transfer of funds in excess of the maximum transactions allowed within a contract year depending on the contract provision. The transfer fee is included as part of the payments for contract benefits or terminations line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

A transfer fee of $25 ($10 in Pennsylvania and Texas) is assessed on each transfer in excess of the maximum transactions allowed for the product.

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, AGL 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.

Income Protector Fee: The optional Income Protector Program provides a guaranteed fixed minimum retirement income upon annuitization. The fee is calculated as a percentage of the income benefit base, as defined in the prospectus, and is deducted annually from the contract value. The income benefit base is calculated using the contract value on the effective date of the enrollment in the program and then each subsequent contract anniversary, adjusted for the applicable growth rates, purchase payments, proportional withdrawals, fees, and charges. The income protector fee is included as part of the payments for contract benefits or terminations line in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

The fee for the Income Protector Program is 0.10 percent and is offered under the Seasons Select, Seasons Select II and Seasons Triple Elite contracts.

(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 the 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 American General Life Insurance Company

Opinions

We have audited the accompanying statutory financial statements of American General 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.

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

 

 
2


Table of Contents

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.

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 Insurance Commissioner of the State of Texas has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

At December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company used the following permitted practices that resulted in reported statutory surplus or risk-based capital that is different from the statutory surplus or risk-based capital that would have been reported had NAIC statutory accounting practices or the prescribed regulatory accounting practices of the TDI been followed in all respects:

Effective December 31, 2020 and periods through September 30, 2023, the Company renewed a permitted statutory accounting practice to recognize an admitted asset related to the notional value of coverage defined in an excess of loss (“XOL”) reinsurance agreement with a 20-year term that provides coverage to the Company for aggregate claims incurred during the agreement term associated with guaranteed living benefits on certain fixed index annuities generally issued prior to April 2019 (“Block 1”) exceeding an attachment point as defined in the agreement. This permitted practice was previously expanded on October 1, 2020 to similarly recognize an additional admitted asset related to the net notional value of coverage as defined in a separate XOL reinsurance agreement with a 25-year term that provides coverage to the Company for aggregate XOL claims associated with guaranteed living benefits on a block of fixed index annuities generally issued in April 2019 or later, including certain new business issued after the effective date of October 1, 2020 (“Block 2”).

Effective September 30, 2023, the permitted practice for Block 1 and Block 2 was extended through September 30, 2026 and the maximum notional value of Block 2 was increased for certain new business. Effective October 1, 2022 and periods through September 30, 2023, this permitted practice was expanded to similarly recognize an additional admitted asset related to the net notional value of coverage as defined in a separate XOL agreement with a 25-year term that provides coverage to the Company for aggregate XOL claims associated with the base contract along with the guaranteed living benefits rider on a block of fixed annuities inforce on October 1, 2022, including certain new business issued after the effective date of October 1, 2022 (“Block 3”). Effective September 30, 2023, the permitted practice for Block 3 was extended through September 30, 2026 and the maximum notional value was increased for certain new business.

The value of the assets subject to the above permitted practices was approximately $1,742 million, $1,017 million and $584 million in total at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 respectively and are reported in Other assets.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s net income and capital and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Texas:

 Statutory capital and surplus, NAIC SAP

        $   7,187      $   8,733     $   7,948  

In the event the Company had not employed any or all of these permitted and prescribed practices, the Company’s risk-based capital (“RBC”) would not have triggered a regulatory event.

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 $6.3 billion, $(12.9) billion and $6.5 billion, respectively, while this report has $6.8 billion, $(13.5) billion and $6.7 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 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 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

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

 

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 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.

Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) 108, Derivatives Hedging Variable Annuity Guarantees, was used as allowed. SSAP 108 allows special accounting treatment for limited derivatives hedging variable annuity guarantee benefits subject to fluctuation as a result of interest rate sensitivity. Starting in 2022 the Company designated, under SSAP 86, Derivatives, certain foreign exchange derivatives as effective hedges of certain invested assets. During 2023, the Company also designated certain interest rate swaps as effective cash flow hedges of floating-rate investment assets.

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 $4.6 billion and $4.6 billion 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 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 $175 million and $175 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, Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (“VALIC”), 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, corporate alternative minimum tax (“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

The Company had no accounting changes during 2023 or 2022.

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 $8 million.

In 2022, three out-of-period errors were identified and corrected, which increased unassigned surplus by $72 million. This decreased claims reserved as a result of overstated claim reserves from 2019-2021.

In 2021, five out-of-period errors were identified and corrected, which decreased unassigned surplus by $161 million. The most significant of these 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 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 a 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 a 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

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

 

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

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

 

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, 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 and certain pension risk transfer annuities 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 7,290 and 8,092, respectively. Bonds comprised 7,288 of the total, of which 5,725 were in a continuous loss position greater than 12 months at December 31, 2023. Bonds comprised 8,010 of the total, of which 1,189 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:

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 $36 million, $114 million and $13 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.

During 2023, the Company derecognized $71 million of mortgage loans and recognized $71 million of 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.

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. SSAP 108 allows special accounting treatment for limited derivatives hedging variable annuity guarantee benefits subject to fluctuation as a result of interest rate sensitivity. The special accounting provision permits reporting entities to utilize a form of macro-hedging in which a portfolio of variable annuity policies are jointly designated as the host contracts containing the hedge item, in a fair value hedge, pursuant to a Clearly Defined Hedging Strategy defined within VM-21.

At inception and on an ongoing basis, the hedging relationship must be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value attributed to the hedged risk during the period that the hedge is designated. The term “highly effective” describes a fair value hedge relationship where the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is within 80 to 125 percent of the opposite change in fair value of the hedged item attributed to the hedged risk.

SSAP 108 requires the Company use the same fair value definition that is used for its economic hedge target, which enables the Company to leverage the existing modeling and attribution platform currently in place for hedging analysis. In addition, the Company uses the VM-21 interest rate sensitivities measured at the beginning of the quarter to estimate the reserve movement attributed to interest rate movement, which leverages the existing modeling and attribution platform in place for Statutory analysis. These approaches and the overall use of the special accounting provision of SSAP 108 in 2022 and 2023 have received the approval of the TDI.

The Company uses a portfolio of interest rates swaps and swaptions to hedge the interest rate risk associated with a portfolio of guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWB”) riders on its variable annuities. This hedging relationship was highly effective and complied with the Clearly Defined Hedging Strategy of VM-21.

Under SSAP 108 all derivatives are reported at fair value. Fair value change in hedge instruments attributable to the hedged risk that offset the change in reserve attributable to the hedged risk is recognized as realized gain/loss in the current period there were no excludable components.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, fair value of the derivatives was a liability of $455 million and $1.2 billion, full contract fair value was a liability of $1 billion and $1.7 billion and hedge target fair value was a liability of $963 million and $841 million. For the period ending December 31, 2023 and 2022, fair value change in hedge instruments attributable to the hedged risk that offset the change in reserve attributable to the hedged risk was a realized loss of $193 million and a realized gain $1 billion, respectively. Fair value change in hedge instruments attributable to the hedged risk that do not offset the change in reserve attributable to the hedged risk are recognized as deferred assets/liabilities in the current period and amortized over projected VA guarantees’ Macaulay Duration within the Standard Projection, but not more than 10 years. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value change in hedge instruments attributable to the hedged risk that do not offset the change in reserve attributable to the hedged risk was a deferred assets of $1.1 billion and deferred assets $739 million, respectively. For the periods ending December 31, 2023 and 2022, amortization was a realized loss of $93 million and a realized loss of $32 million, respectively. Fair value change in hedge instruments not attributable to the hedged risk are recognized as unrealized gain/loss, if any. All fair value changes in hedge instruments were attributable to the hedged risk for the period. Based on the currently liability profile, deferred asset/ liabilities are being amortized over 10 years.

Starting in 2022, the Company designated, under SSAP 86, certain foreign exchange derivatives as effective hedges of certain invested assets. During 2023, the Company also designated certain interest rate swaps as effective cash flow hedges of floating-rate investment assets. Derivatives not designated for hedge accounting are accounted for at fair value with the changes in 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 gain of $167 million in 2023, an unrealized capital gain of $478 million in 2022 and an unrealized capital gain of $139 million in 2021, related to derivatives that did not qualify for hedge accounting.

Net cash collateral received for derivative transactions increased in the year 2023, as a result of increases in fair values of derivatives covered by an International Swaps and Derivative Association Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) and Credit Support Annex provisions. At December 31, 2023, the Company held collateral for SSAP 86 and SSAP 108 derivatives of $1,861 million, which is invested in cash, cash equivalents and/or short-term investments.

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 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.

 

 
42


Table of Contents

AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

 

 

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, 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.

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.

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 life insurance policies and 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.

Certain other separate accounts relate to flexible premium adjustable life insurance and pension risk transfer annuities in which the assets are carried at amortized cost. These contracts provide the greater of guaranteed interest returns defined in the policy or interest in excess of the guaranteed rate as defined by the Company.

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.

General account reserves of $13 million and $7 million were established for the separate account reserve in excess of assets in subaccounts TFA1-B and TFA1-D, respectively.

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 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, GMIB and GMWB were included in the VACARVM reserves. Total reserves in excess of cash surrender value were $103.1 million and none at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

GMDB and GMIB

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. GMIB guarantees a minimum level of periodic income payments upon annuitization. GMDB is the Company’s most widely offered benefit; variable annuity contracts may also include GMIB to a lesser extent, which is no longer offered.

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. PARTICIPATING POLICY CONTRACTS

 

 

Participating policy contracts entitle a policyholder to share in earnings through dividend payments. These contracts represented less than 1.0 percent of gross insurance in-force at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Policyholder dividends for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $13 million, $10 million, and $13 million, respectively.

15. PREMIUM AND ANNUITY CONSIDERATIONS DEFERRED AND UNCOLLECTED

16. REINSURANCE

 

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company utilizes internal and third-party reinsurance transactions to manage insurance risks and to facilitate capital management strategies. Long-duration reinsurance is effected principally under yearly renewable term treaties. Pools of highly-rated third party reinsurers are utilized to manage net amounts at risk in excess of retention limits. Reinsurance agreements do not relieve the Company of its direct obligations to insureds and beneficiaries. Thus, a credit exposure exists with respect to reinsurance ceded to the extent that any reinsurer fails to meet the obligations assumed under any reinsurance agreement. In addition, the Company assumes reinsurance from other insurance companies.

Reinsurance premiums assumed in 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $4.9 billion, $24.5 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. Reinsurance premiums ceded in 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $2.5 billion, $2.7 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. Additionally, reserves on reinsurance assumed were $9.8 billion, $5.5 billion and $4.5 billion at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The reserve credit taken on reinsurance ceded was $26.0 billion, $24.4 billion and $24.6 billion at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amounts payable or recoverable for reinsurance on policy and contract liabilities are not subject to periodic or maximum limits. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s reinsurance recoverables were $251 million and $270 million, respectively.

The Company does not have any reinsurance agreements in effect under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel any reinsurance for reasons other than for nonpayment of premium or other similar credits. The Company has no reinsurance agreements in effect such that the amount of losses paid or accrued through the statement date may result in a payment to the reinsurer of amounts which, in aggregate and allowing for offset of mutual credits from other reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer, exceed the total revenue collected under the reinsured policies.

The Company previously entered into a reinsurance agreement with Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America (“Hannover”) effective July 1, 2016, under which the Company ceded blocks of whole life policies on a coinsurance with funds withheld basis and a block of current assumption universal life business on a yearly renewable term basis. Effective December 31, 2016, the Company recaptured certain term and universal life policies that had been ceded to AGC Life and concurrently amended and restated the July 1, 2016 reinsurance treaty (the “A&R Treaty”) with Hannover to add this in-force term and guaranteed universal life business on a coinsurance basis and additional current assumption universal life on a yearly renewable term basis.

Effective March 31, 2023, the Company recaptured term life business issued from 2017 through 2019 that had previously been ceded to AGC Life on a coinsurance/modified coinsurance basis and concurrently amended the A&R Treaty with Hannover to add this in-force term life business on a coinsurance with funds withheld basis. The Company recognized the net benefit of the recapture and simultaneous cession as a direct credit to surplus of $93 million at March 31, 2023. This increase in surplus will be amortized to income over the life of the treaty.

The coinsurance/modified coinsurance agreements with AGC Life increased the Company’s pre-tax earnings by $63 million in 2023 (excluding the impact of recaptures). In 2022 and 2021, the coinsurance/modified coinsurance agreements with AGC Life increased the Company’s pre-tax earnings by $91 million and $333 million, respectively.

The Company has a modified coinsurance reinsurance agreement with VALIC, pursuant to which certain blocks of VALIC’s VA business are ceded to the Company. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the liabilities resulting from the agreement and recorded in the accompanying financial statements were $19.9 billion and $22.4 billion, respectively. In 2023 and 2022, the agreement increased the Company’s pre-tax earnings by $319 million and $120 million (excluding initial accounting), respectively. Related to the agreement, included within Other income are assumed expense risk charges of $393 million and $88 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, $22.0 billion and $23.9 billion 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.

The Company has an annuity coinsurance/modified coinsurance agreement with Corebridge Bermuda in which Corebridge Bermuda reinsures certain deferred annuity contracts issued between 2003 and 2007. The agreement is such that the Company retains and controls assets held in relation to the related reserve. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the liabilities resulting from the agreement and recorded in the accompanying financial statements were $4.1 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively. In each of 2023, 2022 and 2021, the agreement decreased the Company’s pre-tax earnings by $1 million.

17. 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. The AGC Life 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. The Company’s 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 $5.5 billion and concluded that $183 million valuation allowance was required at December 31, 2023. The Company had concluded that $303 million valuation allowance was required on the DTAs of $5.8 billion 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:

Increases in tax position for prior years

             

Decreases in tax position for prior years

             

Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year

   $ 7      $ 7  

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate were $7 million & $7 million, respectively.

Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had accrued liabilities of $(0.1) million, respectively, for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. In 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any expense of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. In 2021, the Company recognized benefit of interest (net of the federal expense) and penalties of $7 million.

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, VALIC, USL and Corebridge Bermuda in filing a consolidated life company federal income tax return.

The Company has a written agreement 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).

18. 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, before considering the dividend test discussed below, that would qualify as an ordinary dividend, which would consequently be free from restriction and available for payment of dividends to AGC Life (as immediate parent company), by the Company in 2024 is $892 million. The estimated ordinary dividend capacity of the Company is further limited by the fact that the dividend test under Texas insurance law is based on dividends previously paid over a rolling twelve-month period. Consequently, depending on the actual payment dates during 2024, some or all of the dividends estimated to be ordinary in 2024 may require regulatory approval or non-disapproval. Dividend payments in excess of positive retained earnings are classified and reported as a return of capital.

19. 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:

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, $28 million and $27 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 $23 million, $31 million and $28 million for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, on the grant date of the awards.

20. 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.

Commitments

The Company had commitments to provide funding to various limited partnerships totaling $2.9 billion and at December 31, 2023 and $3.2 billion at December 31, 2022. 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, $1.4 billion 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 $2.8 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, of outstanding commitments related to various funding obligations associated with its investments in commercial mortgage loans. Of

Contingencies

Legal Matters

Certain reinsurers have sought rate increases on certain yearly renewable term agreements. The Company is disputing the requested rate increases under these agreements. Certain reinsurers with whom the Company has disputes have initiated arbitration proceedings against the Company, and others may initiate them in the future. To the extent reinsurers have sought retroactive premium increases, the Company has accrued its current estimate of probable loss with respect to these matters.

AGL continues to defend against Moriarty v. American General Life Insurance Co. (S.D. Cal.), a putative class action involving Sections 10113.71 and 10113.72 of the California Insurance Code which was instituted against AGL on July 18, 2017. In general, those statutes require that for life-insurance policies issued and delivered in California: (1) the policy must contain a 60-day grace period during which the policy remains in force; (2) the insurer must provide a 30-day pre-lapse notice; and (3) the insurer must notify policy owners of the right to designate a secondary recipient for lapse notices. The Moriarty plaintiff contends AGL did not comply with these requirements for a policy issued before these statutes went into effect. The plaintiff seeks damages and other relief. AGL asserts various defenses to the plaintiff’s claims and to class certification. In 2022, the District Court held a trial was necessary to determine whether AGL was liable, and it denied class certification. In May 2023, the case was reassigned to a new judge. On August 14, 2023, the District Court granted the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment on the plaintiff’s breach-of-contract claim. On September 26, 2023, the District Court decided that good cause exists to allow the plaintiff to file a third motion for class certification. At the same time, however, the District Court certified its August 14, 2013 order for interlocutory appeal to the Ninth Circuit and stayed trial-court proceedings pending the outcome of AGL’s appeal. The Ninth Circuit granted AGL’s petition for interlocutory appeal on November 21, 2023. Briefing in the Ninth Circuit appeal is expected to be complete in mid-2024, with a decision by the Ninth Circuit at some time after that.

AGL is defending other actions in California involving similar issues: Allen v. Protective Life Insurance Co. (E.D. Cal.), filed on June 6, 2022, in which the individual plaintiff filed a motion on August 11, 2023 seeking leave to amend the complaint to add class-action allegations against AGL; and Chuck v. American General Life Insurance Co. (C.D. Cal.), which was filed on September 6, 2023 as a putative class action. However, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 8, 2024 dropping the class action allegation against AGL and adding a sales agent as a defendant.

These cases are in the early stages, and AGL expects their progress will be influenced by future developments in Moriarty and cases against other insurers involving the same statutes.

AGL has accrued its current estimate of probable loss with respect to these litigation matters.

Various other 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.

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 $41 million and $39 million for GFA at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has recorded receivables of $31 million and $31 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for expected recoveries against the payment of future premium taxes.

During 1997 and 1998, the Company participated in a workers’ compensation underwriting pool with a third party insurance company. Both companies share equally in the pool. Collectively, the workers’ compensation business is assumed from over 50 ceding companies and retro-ceded to 15 programs. The business covers risks primarily from the 1997 and 1998 underwriting years but also includes risk from the 1996 underwriting year. There were no reinsurance recoverables on claim liabilities and reserves included in these financial statements related to the workers’ compensation business at both December 31, 2023 and 2022. While not included in these statutory financial statements, the Company is contingently liable for losses incurred by its 50 percent pool participant should that third party become insolvent or otherwise unable to meet its obligations under the pool agreement.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had admitted assets of $62 million and $153 million, respectively, in premiums receivable due from policyholders (or agents). The Company routinely evaluates the collectability of these receivables. Based upon Company experience, the potential for any loss is not believed to be material to the Company’s financial condition.

The Company did not receive any business interruption insurance recoveries during the periods covered by this report.

22. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Sale of Retail Mutual Funds Business

On February 8, 2021, Corebridge announced the execution of a definitive agreement with Touchstone Investments, Inc. (“Touchstone”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Western & Southern Financial Group, to sell certain assets of its retail mutual funds business. This sale consisted of the reorganization of twelve of the retail mutual funds managed by the Company’s subsidiary SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (“SAAMCo”) into certain Touchstone funds. Concurrently, the twelve retail mutual funds managed by SAAMCo, with $6.8 billion in assets, were reorganized into Touchstone funds. Additional consideration has been and may be earned over a three-year period based on asset levels in certain reorganized funds. Six retail mutual funds managed by SAAMCo and not included in the transaction were liquidated. Corebridge continues to retain its fund management platform and capabilities dedicated to its variable annuity insurance products.

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.

(“National Union”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AIG. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, National Union has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed insurance policies issued by AIG Life Holding, Inc. between July 13, 1998 and April 30, 2010.

Cut-Through Agreement

The Company and Corebridge Bermuda entered into a Cut-through Agreement in which insureds, their beneficiaries and owners were granted a direct right of action against the Company in the event Corebridge Bermuda becomes insolvent or otherwise cannot or refuses to perform its obligations under certain life insurance policies issued by Corebridge Bermuda. The Cut-through Agreement was approved by the TDI. The amount of the retained liability on Corebridge Bermuda’s books related to this agreement was approximately $320,000 and $330,000 for the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company believes the probability of loss under this agreement is remote. No liability has been recognized in relation to this guarantee due to immateriality.

Affiliate Transactions

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Reinsurance Agreement with AGC Life pursuant to which certain blocks of life business issued by the Company were ceded to AGC Life. The Reinsurance Agreement was non-disapproved by the TDI and Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance (“MDCI”). Amendment 29 to the reinsurance agreement was approved by the TDI and MDCI effective December 31, 2020 to add certain term and universal life policies issued by AGL on or after January 1, 2020 to the reinsurance agreement. Amendment 29 was closed to new business as of December 31, 2021. Effective March 31, 2023, the Company recaptured certain XXX business issued from 2017 through 2019 from the treaty and concurrently ceded the business to an external reinsurer. Effective September 30, 2023, the Company recaptured certain AXXX business from the treaty issued from 2017 through 2019 and concurrently ceded the business to an external reinsurer. Effective October 1, 2023, the Company recaptured certain term and universal life business issued from 2020 through 2021 from the treaty.

Effective October 1, 2022, the Company entered into a modified coinsurance reinsurance agreement with VALIC, pursuant to which certain blocks of VALIC’s VA business were ceded to the Company. The ceded reserves and assets supporting the reserves remain on VALIC’s balance sheet, pursuant to the modified coinsurance structure. The business covered by the agreement includes substantially all of VALIC’s VA contracts, excluding those issued by VALIC in the State of New York and those that have been previously assumed (through reinsurance) by VALIC. At inception, VALIC ceded $22.9 billion of reserves and received a ceding commission of $1.5 billion from the Company 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, the Company paid a ceding commission and expense allowance to reimburse VALIC for its commissions, related issue and policy administration expenses. The agreement was non-disapproved by the TDI. The agreement allows the Company and VALIC to more efficiently manage the reserve and capital requirements for their VA business.

In December 2022, the Company received capital contributions of $1.9 billion from AGC Life in connection with the Company and VALIC reinsurance transaction.

During 2023, the Company purchased $396 million and sold $10 million of securities, at fair market value, from or to one or more of its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

On January 2, 2020, the Company sold its Houston Campus properties to an affiliate, 2929 REH, a newly formed limited liability company incorporated in the state of Texas. 2929 REH is owned by AIG Life Holdings, Inc. and Knickerbocker Corporation, a Texas corporation wholly owned by Corebridge Life Holdings. The sale of the properties is treated as a sale and leaseback transaction pursuant to SSAP 22R. The gain on sale of $253 million was recognized directly to

Corebridge Life Holdings issued two senior promissory notes to the Company in the amount of $150,000,000 and $200,000,000 (“2019 Promissory Notes”) respectively in exchange for cash. Each of the promissory notes was supported by a guarantee issued by AIG for the benefit of the Company, with maturity dates of five and four years, respectively, and interest rates of 2.52% and 2.40% per year, respectively. On December 30, 2019, the TDI issued a letter allowing AGL to record the total amounts due under each promissory note as an admitted asset for the period ending March 31, 2020 and in each subsequent quarter thereafter subject to certain conditions and in accordance with applicable provisions of SSAP No. 25. On August 1, 2023, the guarantee of these promissory notes was novated from AIG to Corebridge. Effective January 2, 2024, Corebridge Life Holdings amended and restated the $200,000,000 promissory note to the Company, extending the note term for five years and updating the interest rate to 5.314%. The amended and restated promissory note was supported by an amended and restated guarantee issued by Corebridge for the benefit of the Company. On January 8, 2024, the TDI issued a letter allowing the Company to record the total amounts due under the amended and restated promissory note as an admitted asset for the period ending March 31, 2024, and in each subsequent quarter thereafter subject to certain conditions and in accordance with applicable provisions of SSAP No. 25.

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 $48 million, $69 million and $134 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 $119 million in 2023, $112 million in 2022 and $102 million in 2021.

The majority of the Company’s Swap agreements are entered into with an affiliated counterparty, AIG Markets, Inc. and Corebridge Markets, Inc. (See Note 8).

Other

The Company engages in structured settlement transactions, certain of which involve affiliated property and casualty insurance companies that are subsidiaries of AIG. In a structured settlement arrangement, a property and casualty insurance policy claimant has agreed to settle a casualty insurance claim in exchange for fixed payments over either a fixed determinable period of time or a life contingent period. In such claim settlement arrangements, a casualty insurance claim payment provides the funding for the purchase of a single premium immediate annuity issued by the Company for the ultimate benefit of the claimant. In certain structured settlement arrangements, the affiliated property and casualty insurance company remains contingently liable for the payments to the claimant.

23. 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.
