_______________________________________________
(1)Excludes fixed maturities classified as held for sale of $3,221 million of amortized cost and $3,243 million of fair value as of December 31, 2025.
Pre-refunded bonds of $241 million and $416 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were bonds for which U.S. states or municipalities have established irrevocable trusts that are almost exclusively comprised of U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government and government agencies and authorities. These trusts were created to fund the payment of principal and interest due under the bonds.
Proceeds from the sales of fixed maturities classified as available for sale were $917 million and $779 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Gross gains of $1 million were realized on those sales during both the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. Gross losses of $45 million and $29 million were realized on those sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Included in net realized investment gains (losses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were $15 million and $20 million, respectively, of losses resulting from the early redemption of fixed maturities by the issuer prior to the bonds’ maturity date.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $60 million and $41 million of net gains on equity securities still held as of September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Unrealized Investment Losses
The following tables summarize, for all fixed maturities classified as available for sale in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized loss by the length of time those securities have been continuously in an unrealized loss position. The fair value amounts reported in the tables are estimates that are prepared using the process described in note 4 herein and in note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. The Company also relies upon estimates of several factors in its review and evaluation of individual investments, using the process described in note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report to determine whether a credit loss impairment exists.

Increases in the applicable interest rates resulted in the gross unrealized investment losses disclosed in the tables above; however, the net unrealized loss is considered temporary in nature as the decrease in value is not due to credit impairments and there is no impact on expected contractual cash flows from fixed maturities.
Impairment Charges
The following tables present changes in the allowance for expected credit losses on fixed maturities classified as available for sale for the category of Corporate and All Other Bonds (no other categories of fixed maturities currently have an allowance for expected credit losses).

Total net impairment charges, including credit impairments, reported in net realized investment gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of income were $0 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and $11 million and $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Credit losses related to the fixed maturity portfolio for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 represented less than 1% of the fixed maturity portfolio on a pre-tax basis and less than 1% of shareholders’ equity on an after-tax basis.
Other Investments
Included in other investments are private equity, hedge fund and real estate partnerships that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and typically report their financial statement information to the Company one month to three months following the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, net investment income from these other investments is generally reflected in the Company’s financial statements on a quarter lag basis.
