We continually update loss reserve estimates as new information becomes known, new loss patterns emerge, or as other contributing factors are considered and incorporated into the analysis of reserve for claim losses. Estimating future title loss payments is difficult because of the complex nature of title claims, the long periods of time over which claims are paid, significantly varying dollar amounts of individual claims, and other factors.
Due to the uncertainty inherent in the process and to the judgment used by management, the ultimate liability may be greater or less than our current reserves. If actual claims loss development varies from what is currently expected and is not offset by other factors, additional reserve adjustments may be required in future periods to maintain our recorded reserve within a reasonable range of our actuary's central estimate.
F&G Insurance Subsidiary Financial Information and Regulatory Matters
Our U.S. insurance subsidiaries, FGL Insurance, FGL NY Insurance, Raven Re and Corbeau Re, file financial statements with state insurance regulatory authorities and, except for Raven Re, with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) that are prepared in accordance with Statutory Accounting Principles (“SAP”) prescribed or permitted by such authorities. Prescribed SAP includes the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual of the NAIC as well as state laws, regulations, and administrative rules. Permitted SAP encompasses all accounting practices not prescribed but approved by state regulators. The principal differences between SAP financial statements and financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are that SAP financial statements do not reflect VOBA, DAC, and DSI, some bond portfolios may be carried at amortized cost, assets and liabilities are presented net of reinsurance, contractholder liabilities are generally valued using more conservative assumptions, and certain assets are non-admitted. Accordingly, SAP operating results and SAP capital and surplus may differ substantially from amounts reported in the GAAP basis financial statements for comparable items.
Our non-U.S. insurance subsidiary, F&G Cayman Re Ltd (“F&G Cayman Re”), a Cayman Islands entity, files financial statements with its regulator the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (“CIMA”).
U.S. Companies
Our principal insurance subsidiaries' audited statutory financial statements are based on a December 31 year end. Statutory net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and statutory capital and surplus as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, of our wholly owned U.S. regulated insurance subsidiaries, were as follows:

Prescribed and permitted practices
FGL Insurance - FGL Insurance applies Iowa-prescribed accounting practices prescribed by Iowa Administrative Code 191 Chapter 97, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments Used to Hedge the Growth in Interest Credited for Indexed Insurance Products and Accounting for the Indexed Insurance Products Reserve,” for its indexed annuities and IUL products. Under these alternative accounting practices, the equity option derivative instruments that hedge the growth in interest credited on index products are accounted for at amortized cost with the corresponding amortization recorded as a decrease to net investment income and indexed annuity reserves are calculated based on Standard Valuation Law and Actuarial Guideline XXXV assuming the market value of the equity options associated with the current index term is zero regardless of the observable market value for such options.
In addition, based on a permitted practice received from the Iowa Insurance Division, FGL Insurance carries one of its limited partnership interests, which qualifies for accounting under SSAP No. 48, “Investments in Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies,” on a net asset value per share basis. This is a departure from SSAP No. 48, which requires such investments to be carried based on the investees underlying GAAP equity (prior to any impairment considerations). In addition, the financial statements of Raven Re and Corbeau Re include certain permitted practices approved by the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation. Without such permitted statutory accounting practices, Raven Re’s risk-based capital would have been above the minimum regulatory requirements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Without such permitted statutory accounting practices, Corbeau Re’s risk-based capital would have fallen below the minimum regulatory requirements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The prescribed and permitted practices resulted in increases to statutory capital and surplus of $249 million for both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Without such permitted statutory accounting practices, FGL Insurance’s risk-based capital would have been above the minimum regulatory requirements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
There have been no material changes to the prescribed and permitted practices for our U.S. insurance subsidiaries, which were detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and no other significant changes in the regulatory status of our insurance subsidiaries as of March 31, 2026.
Non-U.S. Company
F&G Cayman Re files financial statements that are prepared in accordance with SAP prescribed or permitted by its regulator, which may vary materially from GAAP. Accordingly, SAP operating results and SAP capital and surplus may differ substantially from amounts reported in the GAAP basis financial statements for comparable items.
F&G Cayman Re has two permitted practices, which have been approved by CIMA. F&G Cayman Re has a permitted practice approved by CIMA to include, as an admitted asset, the value of the letters of credit (“LOCs”) acquired to support reinsurance transactions. Also, F&G Cayman Re has a permitted practice, approved by CIMA, for PRT reinsurance transactions to use U.S. statutory book value adjusted for best estimate reserve calculations (consistent with GAAP prior to ASU 2018-12, Financial Services-Insurance (Topic 944), Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts). These reserve calculations will be subject to annual assumption reviews consistent with other GAAP liability balances. If F&G Cayman Re had not been permitted to calculate PRT assumed reserves using best estimate reserve calculations or include the value of the LOCs as an admitted asset, statutory surplus would be $13 million and $20 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Without such permitted statutory accounting practices, F&G Cayman Re’s risk-based capital would have fallen below the minimum regulatory requirements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Net income and capital and surplus of our wholly owned Cayman Islands insurance subsidiary under SAP were as follows:
