Preliminary Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2026

The following information summarizes certain preliminary financial results of Athene Holding Ltd. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and as of June 30, 2026 and is not intended to be a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial results for these periods. The preliminary financial information set forth below represents management’s current estimates based on information available as of the date hereof. These estimates are preliminary and remain subject to change and the completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures and the preparation of, and its auditor’s review of, its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Additional items that could require adjustments to the preliminary estimates set forth below may be identified during that process, and any such adjustments could be material. Our actual unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not expected to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission until the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026.

Non-GAAP Measure Reconciliations

In addition to our results presented in accordance with US GAAP, we present certain financial information that includes non-GAAP measures. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures, together with the relevant US GAAP measures, provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our results of operations and the underlying profitability drivers of our business. The majority of these non-GAAP measures are intended to remove from the results of operations the impact of market volatility (other than with respect to alternative investments), which consists of

 

4


investment gains (losses), net of offsets, and non-operating change in insurance liabilities and related derivatives, as well as integration, restructuring, stock compensation and certain other items which are not part of our underlying profitability drivers, as such items fluctuate from period to period in a manner inconsistent with these drivers. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results in accordance with US GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for the corresponding US GAAP measures.

Spread Related Earnings:

Spread related earnings is a pre-tax non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance including the impact of any reinsurance transactions and excluding market volatility and expenses related to integration, restructuring and stock compensation as well as other one-time items. Our spread related earnings equals net income (loss) available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following:

 

   

Investment Gains (Losses), Net of Offsets— Consists of the realized gains and losses on the sale of AFS securities and mortgage loans, the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, unrealized gains and losses, changes in the provision for credit losses and other investment gains and losses. Unrealized, allowances and other investment gains and losses primarily includes the fair value adjustments of trading securities and mortgage loans, other investments held under the fair value option, derivative gains and losses not hedging annuity index credits, foreign exchange impacts and the change in provision for credit losses recognized in operations net of the change in AmerUs Closed Block fair value reserve related to the corresponding change in fair value of investments. Investment gains and losses are net of offsets related to the market value adjustments (MVAs) associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts.

 

   

Non-operating Change in Insurance Liabilities and Related Derivatives

 

   

Change in Fair Values of Derivatives and Embedded Derivatives – Indexed Annuities— Consists of impacts related to the fair value accounting for derivatives hedging the index credits on indexed annuities and the related embedded derivative liability fluctuations from period to period. The index reserve is measured at fair value for the current period and all periods beyond the current policyholder index term. However, the indexed annuity hedging derivatives are purchased to hedge only the current index period. Upon policyholder renewal at the end of the index period, new indexed annuity hedging derivatives are purchased to align with the new term. The difference in duration between the indexed annuity hedging derivatives and the index credit reserves creates a timing difference in earnings. This timing difference of the indexed annuity hedging derivatives and index credit reserves is included as a non-operating adjustment.

We primarily hedge with options that align with the index terms of our indexed annuity products (typically 1–2 years). On an economic basis, we believe this is suitable because policyholder accounts are credited with index performance at the end of each index term. However, because the term of an embedded derivative in an indexed annuity contract is longer-dated, there is a duration mismatch that may lead to mismatches for accounting purposes.

 

   

Non-operating Change in Funding Agreements—Consists of timing differences caused by changes to interest rates on variable funding agreements and funding agreement backed notes and the associated reserve accretion patterns of those contracts. Further included are adjustments for gains associated with our early repurchases of funding agreements, when applicable.

 

   

Change in Fair Value of Market Risk Benefits—Consists primarily of volatility in capital market inputs used in the measurement at fair value of our market risk benefits, including certain impacts from changes in interest rates, equity returns and implied equity volatilities.

 

   

Non-operating Change in Liability for Future Policy Benefits—Consists of the non-economic loss incurred at issuance for certain pension group annuities and other payout annuities with life contingencies when valuation interest rates prescribed by US GAAP are lower than the net investment earned rates, adjusted for profit, assumed in pricing. For such contracts with non-economic US GAAP losses, the SRE reserve accretes interest using an imputed discount rate that produces zero gain or loss at issuance.

 

   

Integration, Restructuring and Other Non-operating Items—Consists of restructuring and integration expenses related to acquisitions and block reinsurance costs, as well as certain other items, which are not predictable or related to our underlying profitability drivers.

 

   

Stock Compensation Expense—Consists of stock compensation expenses associated with our share incentive plans, including long-term incentive expenses, which are not related to our underlying profitability drivers and fluctuate from time to time due to the structure of our plans.

 

5


   

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)—Consists of the income tax effect of all income statement adjustments and is computed by applying the appropriate jurisdiction’s tax rate to all adjustments subject to income tax.

We consider these adjustments to be meaningful adjustments to net income (loss) available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder for the reasons discussed in greater detail above. Accordingly, we believe using a measure that excludes the impact of these items is useful in analyzing our business performance and the trends in our results of operations. Together with net income (loss) available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder, we believe spread related earnings provides a meaningful financial metric that helps investors understand our underlying results and profitability. Spread related earnings should not be used as a substitute for net income (loss) available to Athene Holding Ltd. common stockholder.

Net Investment Earned Rate

Net investment earned rate is a non-GAAP measure we use to evaluate the performance of our net invested assets. Net investment earned rate is computed as the income from our net invested assets divided by the average net invested assets, for the relevant period. To enhance the ability to analyze these measures across periods, interim periods are annualized. The primary adjustments to net investment income to arrive at our net investment earnings are (a) net VIE impacts (revenues, expenses and noncontrolling interests), (b) the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, (c) amortization of premium/discount on held-for-trading securities, (d) forward points gains and losses on foreign exchange derivative hedges, (e) an adjustment to the change in net asset value of our ADIP investments to recognize our proportionate share of spread related earnings based on our ownership in the investment funds and (f) the removal of the proportionate share of the ACRA net investment income associated with the noncontrolling interests. We include the income and assets supporting our change in fair value of reinsurance assets by evaluating the underlying investments of the funds withheld at interest receivables and we include the net investment income from those underlying investments which does not correspond to the US GAAP presentation of change in fair value of reinsurance assets. We exclude the income and assets on business related to ceded reinsurance transactions. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a net investment earned rate on the assets for which we have economic exposure. We believe a measure like net investment earned rate is useful in analyzing the trends of our core business operations, profitability and pricing discipline. While we believe net investment earned rate is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying profitability drivers of our business, it should not be used as a substitute for net investment income presented under US GAAP.

Net Invested Assets:

In managing our business, we analyze net invested assets, which does not correspond to total investments, including investments in related parties, as disclosed in our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Net invested assets represent the investments that directly back our net reserve liabilities, as well as surplus assets. Net invested assets is used in the computation of net investment earned rate, which allows us to analyze the profitability of our investment portfolio. Net invested assets include (a) total investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with AFS securities, trading securities and mortgage loans at cost or amortized cost, excluding derivatives, (b) cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, (c) investments in related parties, (d) accrued investment income, (e) VIE and VOE assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest adjustments, (f) net investment payables and receivables, (g) policy loans ceded (which offset the direct policy loans in total investments) and (h) an adjustment for the allowance for credit losses. Net invested assets exclude the derivative collateral offsetting the related cash positions. We include the underlying investments supporting our assumed funds withheld and modco agreements and exclude the underlying investments related to ceded reinsurance transactions in our net invested assets calculation to match the assets with the income received. We believe the adjustments for reinsurance provide a view of the assets for which we have economic exposure. Net invested assets include our proportionate share of ACRA investments, based on our economic ownership, but do not include the proportionate share of investments associated with the noncontrolling interests. Our net invested assets are averaged over the number of quarters in the relevant period to compute our net investment earned rate for such period. While we believe net invested assets is a meaningful financial metric and enhances our understanding of the underlying drivers of our investment portfolio, it should not be used as a substitute for total investments, including related parties, presented under US GAAP.
