The net MRB liability increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily as a result of collection of attributed fees, interest accrual, actual to expected policyholder behavior, and MRB reserves for contracts issued within the period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, notable changes made to the inputs to the fair value estimates of MRBs calculations included an increase in risk-free rates leading to a favorable change in the MRBs associated with indexed annuities offset by decreases in the equity market related projections which resulted in an increase in the net amount at risk associated with indexed annuities, leading to an unfavorable change in the value of the associated MRBs.
The net MRB liability increased for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily as a result of collection of attributed fees, interest accrual, MRB reserves for contracts issued within the period, and changes in actuarial assumptions. These increases were partially offset by the effects of market related movements, including the impacts of higher risk-free rates and increases in the equity market related projections.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, notable changes made to the inputs to the fair value estimates of MRBs calculations included an increase in risk-free rates leading to a favorable change in the MRBs associated with indexed annuities and decreases in the equity market related projections resulted in an increase in the net amount at risk associated with indexed annuities, leading to an unfavorable change in the value of the associated MRBs.
In addition, the cash flow assumptions used to calculate MRBs reflect the Company’s best estimates for policyholder behavior. F&G reviews cash flow assumptions annually, generally in the third quarter. In 2025, F&G undertook a review of all significant assumptions and revised several assumptions relating to their deferred annuities (indexed annuities and fixed rate annuities) with MRBs. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, F&G updated the option budget assumption. All updates to these assumptions brought F&G more in line with internal and overall industry experience since the prior assumption updates. These updates, in total, led to a decrease in the net MRB liability for the six months ended June 30, 2026. For the year ended December 31, 2025, F&G updated assumptions including surrender rates, mortality and mortality improvement, partial withdrawals, projected CPI, and option budgets. All updates to these assumptions brought F&G more in line with internal and overall industry experience since the prior assumption updates. These updates, in total, led to an increase in the net MRB liability for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(a) FABN and FHLB are considered funding agreements that are investment contracts, which follow the interest method of accounting, and therefore are not subject to ASU 2018-12 disclosure requirements. However, the Company has elected to present the liability for these agreements within the disaggregated roll forward as we believe it will provide meaningful information for users of the financials.
(b) Contracts included in the Contractholder funds are generally charged a premium and/or monthly assessments on the basis of the account balance.
(c) The reconciling items reconcile the account balance to the gross GAAP liability. For indexed annuities and universal life, the reconciling items represent embedded derivatives and include the combination of the host contracts and the fair value of the embedded derivatives. For FABN, the reconciling items represent basis adjustments due to the impact of fair value hedge accounting.
(d) For those guarantees of benefits that are payable in the event of death, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date.
(e) These amounts are gross of reinsurance.

Annually, typically in the third quarter, F&G reviews assumptions associated with reserves for policy benefits and product guarantees. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, based on policyholder behavior, experience and interest rate movements, F&G updated certain economic indexed annuities assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivative component within Contractholder funds. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2025, F&G reflected updates to surrender assumptions for recent and expected near term policyholder behavior. These changes resulted in decreases in Contractholder funds of approximately $2 million and $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
