Business

Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company ("VRIAC") is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the State of Connecticut. VRIAC, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), provide financial products and services in the United States. VRIAC is authorized to conduct its insurance business in all states and in the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

VRIAC is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Holdings Inc. ("Parent"), which is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. ("Voya Financial").

The Company derives its revenue mainly from (a) Investment income earned on investments, (b) Fee income generated from separate account assets supporting variable options under variable annuity contract investments, as designated by contract owners, (c) Premiums, (d) Net gains (losses) on investments and changes in fair value of embedded derivatives on product guarantees, and (e) Other revenue which includes certain other fees. The Company's benefits and expenses primarily consist of (a) Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners/policyholders, (b) Operating expenses, which include expenses related to the selling and servicing of the various products offered by the Company and other general business expenses, and (c) Amortization of DAC and VOBA.

The Company offers annuity contracts that include a variety of funding and payout options for employer-sponsored retirement plans as well as some individual plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408, 457 and 501, as well as non-qualified deferred compensation plans and related services. The Company's products are offered primarily to small and mid-sized corporations, public and private school systems, higher education institutions, hospitals and healthcare facilities, religious and other not-for-profit organizations, state and local governments and individuals. The Company also provides stable value investment options, including separate account guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") and synthetic GICs, to institutional clients. The Company's products are generally distributed through third-party brokers and advisors, third-party administrators, pension consultants including national aggregators, and representatives associated with Voya Financial's owned broker-dealer and investment advisor, Voya Financial Advisors, Inc. ("VFA").

Products offered by the Company include deferred and immediate (i.e., payout) annuity contracts. The Company's products also include programs offered to qualified plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans that package administrative and record-keeping services, proprietary and non proprietary fixed and variable investment options, participant communications and education programs, and a broad suite of financial wellness and retirement income solutions including retirement and financial planning guidance and advisory products, tools and services. In addition, the Company offers wrapper agreements entered into with retirement plans, which contain certain benefit responsive guarantees (i.e., guarantees of principal and previously accrued interest for benefits paid under the terms of the plan) with respect to portfolios of plan-owned assets not invested with the Company. Stable value products are also provided to institutional plan sponsors where the Company may or may not be providing other employer sponsored products and services.

The Company has one operating segment. The Director and President of the Company is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM assesses performance and makes resource allocation decisions based upon Net income (loss) presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total assets. Significant expenses regularly provided to the CODM are consistent with those presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On January 2, 2025, the Company's ultimate parent, Voya Financial ("Voya"), acquired the full-service retirement plan business of OneAmerica Financial. This acquisition was accomplished through the purchase of legal entities and an indemnity reinsurance agreement through which the Company will administer group annuity contracts on behalf of American United Life Insurance Company, an affiliate of OneAmerica Financial. As a result of the application of pushdown accounting associated with the acquisition, the Company recognized Additional paid-in capital of $175 in the first quarter.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and are unaudited. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of VRIAC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Voya Financial Partners ("VFP"), Voya Institutional Plan Services, LLC ("VIPS"), and Voya Retirement Advisors, LLC ("VRA"). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and reflect adjustments (including normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance. These
unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires:
A tabular rate reconciliation of (1) reported income tax expense/benefit from continuing operations, to (2) the product of the income/loss from continuing operations before income taxes and the statutory federal income tax rate, using specific categories, as well as disclosure of certain reconciling items based on a 5% threshold.
Year-to-date net income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign, as well as disaggregated information on net income taxes paid to an individual jurisdiction based on a 5% threshold.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is in the process of finalizing the disclosures that will be required by the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2023-09, and will adopt these amendments for annual disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires the following disclosures:
Disclose the amounts of (a) employee compensation; (b) depreciation; and (c) intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption;
Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under U.S. GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements;
Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and
Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is in the process of determining the disclosures that may be required by the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2024-03.
