Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This
Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) may include statements, which, to the extent they are not statements of historical or present fact, constitute “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seeks,” “aims,” “projects,” “is optimistic,” “intends,” “targets,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or other comparable terms. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this
Quarterly Report
and include, without limitation, statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, assumptions or current plans and expectations concerning, among other things, financial position and future financial condition; results of operations; expected operating and non-operating relationships; ability to meet debt service obligations and financing plans; product sales; distribution channels; retention of business; investment yields and spreads; investment portfolio and ability to manage asset-liability cash flows; financial goals and targets; prospects; growth strategies or expectations; laws and regulations; customer retention; the outcome (by judgment or settlement) and costs of legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings, investigations or inspections, including, without limitation, collective, representative or class action litigation; geopolitical events, including the ongoing armed conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East; and the impact of prevailing capital markets and economic conditions.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond our control. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes, including, without limitation, our actual results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows, and the development of the markets in which we operate, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this
Quarterly Report
. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows, and the development of the markets in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this
Quarterly Report
, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. A number of important factors, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed in
“Risk Factors”
and “
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, without limitation:
•
changes in interest rates and changes to credit spreads;
•
the deterioration of economic conditions, including an increase in the likelihood of an economic slowdown or recession, changes in market conditions, trade disputes with other countries, including the effect of sanctions and trade restrictions, such as tariffs and trade barriers imposed by the U.S. government and any countermeasures by other governments in response to such tariffs, weakening in capital markets in the U.S and globally, volatility in equity markets, inflationary pressures, the rise of pressures on the commercial real estate market, and geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing armed conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East;
•
the unpredictability of the amount and timing of insurance liability claims;
•
unavailable, uneconomical or inadequate reinsurance or recaptures of reinsured liabilities;
•
uncertainty and unpredictability related to our reinsurance agreements with
Fortitude Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“
Fortitude Re”) and its performance of its obligations under these agreements;
•
our limited ability to access funds from our subsidiaries;
•
our ability to incur indebtedness, our potential inability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness or our ability to obtain additional financing on favorable terms or at all;
•
our ability to maintain sufficient eligible collateral to support business and funding strategies requiring collateralization;
•
our inability to generate cash to meet our needs due to the illiquidity of some of our investments;
•
the inaccuracy of the methodologies, estimations and assumptions underlying our valuation of investments and derivatives;
•
a downgrade in our Insurer Financial Strength (“IFS”) ratings or credit ratings;
•
exposure to credit risk due to non-performance or defaults by our counterparties or our use of derivative instruments to hedge market risks associated with our liabilities;
•
our ability to adequately assess risks and estimate losses related to the pricing of our products;
•
the failure of third parties that we rely upon to provide and adequately perform certain business, operations, investment advisory, functional support and administrative services on our behalf;
•
the impact of risks associated with our arrangement with Blackstone ISG-I Advisors LLC (“Blackstone IM”), BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BlackRock”) or any other asset manager we retain, including their historical performance not being indicative of the future results of our investment portfolio and the exclusivity of certain arrangements with Blackstone IM;
Corebridge
| First Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q
2
•
our inability to maintain the availability of critical technology systems and the confidentiality of our data, including challenges associated with a variety of privacy and information security laws;
•
the ineffectiveness of our risk management policies and procedures;
•
significant legal, governmental or regulatory proceedings;
•
the intense competition we face in each of our business lines and the technological changes, including the use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), that may present new and intensified challenges to our business;
•
catastrophes, including those associated with climate change and pandemics;
•
business or asset acquisitions and dispositions that may expose us to certain risks;
•
our ability to protect our intellectual property;
•
our ability to operate efficiently and compete effectively in a heavily regulated industry in light of new domestic or international laws and regulations or new interpretations of current laws and regulations;
•
impact on sales of our products and taxation of our operations due to changes in U.S. federal income or other tax laws or the interpretation of tax laws;
•
the ineffectiveness of our productivity improvement initiatives in yielding our expected expense reductions and improvements in operational and organizational efficiency;
•
differences between actual experience and the estimates used in the preparation of financial statements and modeled results used in various areas of our business;
•
our inability to attract and retain key employees and highly skilled people needed to support our business;
•
our relationships with AIG, Nippon and Blackstone and conflicts of interests arising due to such relationships;
•
the indemnification obligations we have to AIG;
•
potentially higher U.S. federal income taxes due to our inability to file a single U.S. consolidated federal income tax return for five years following our initial public offering (“IPO”) and our separation from AIG causing an “ownership change” for U.S. federal income tax purposes caused by our separation from AIG;
•
risks associated with the Tax Matters Agreement with AIG and our potential liability for U.S. income taxes of the entire AIG Consolidated Tax Group for all taxable years or portions thereof in which we (or our subsidiaries) were members of such group;
•
the risk that anti-takeover provisions could discourage, delay, or prevent our change in control, even if the change in control would be beneficial to our shareholders; and
•
challenges related to compliance with applicable laws incident to being a public company, which is expensive and time-consuming.
Other risks, uncertainties and factors, including those discussed in “
Risk Factors”
in the 2024 Form 10-K could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. You should read carefully the factors described in “
Risk Factors”
in the 2024 Form 10-K to better understand the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business and underlying any forward-looking statements.
You should read this
Quarterly Report
completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from expectations. All forward-looking statements made in this
Quarterly Report
are qualified by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this
Quarterly Report
, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, other than as may be required by law.

1. Overview and Basis of Presentation
1. Overview and Basis of Presentation
OVERVIEW
Corebridge Financial, Inc. (“Corebridge Parent”) is a leading provider of retirement solutions and life insurance products in the United States. Our primary business operations consist of sales of individual and group annuities products, life insurance products to individuals and institutional markets products. Corebridge Parent common stock, par value $
0.01
per share, is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CRBG). The terms “Corebridge,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” mean Corebridge Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context refers to Corebridge Parent only. Subsidiaries of Corebridge Parent include: AGC Life Insurance Company (“AGC”), American General Life Insurance Company (“AGL”), The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (“VALIC”), The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (“USL”), Corebridge Insurance Company of Bermuda, Ltd. ("CRBG Bermuda") and SAFG Capital LLC and its subsidiaries. American International Group, Inc. (“AIG Parent”) is a publicly traded entity, listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AIG). The term “AIG” means AIG Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context refers to AIG Parent only.
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements present the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company.
On September 19, 2022, we completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) in which AIG Parent sold
80.0
million shares of Corebridge Parent common stock to the public. Since our IPO, AIG Parent has sold portions of its interest in Corebridge through secondary public offerings and other transactions. As of March 31, 2025, AIG Parent owned approximately
23.0
% of the outstanding Corebridge Parent common stock.
On December 9, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Nippon Life Insurance Company, a mutual company organized under the laws of Japan (“Nippon”), in accordance with that stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 16, 2024, completed its purchase of approximately
122
million shares of Corebridge Parent common stock, beneficially owned by AIG Parent, representing
21.6
% of the issued and outstanding Corebridge Parent common stock at signing (the “Nippon Transaction”). As of March 31, 2025, Nippon owned approximately
22.0
% of the outstanding Corebridge Parent common stock.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of Corebridge Parent, its controlled subsidiaries (generally through a greater than 50% ownership of voting rights and voting interests) and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which we are the primary beneficiary. Equity investments in entities that we do not consolidate, including corporate entities in which we have significant influence and partnership and partnership-like entities in which we have more than minor influence over the operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method unless we have elected the fair value option.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (‘‘GAAP’’) and reflect all normal recurring adjustments, including eliminations of material intercompany accounts and transactions, necessary in the opinion of management for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions are considered our critical accounting estimates and are related to the determination of:
•
fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities;
•
valuation of market risk benefits (“MRBs”) related to guaranteed benefit features of variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity products;
•
valuation of embedded derivative liabilities for fixed index annuity, registered index-linked annuity and index universal life products;
•
valuation of future policy benefit liabilities and recognition of remeasurement gains and losses;
•
reinsurance assets, including the allowance for credit losses;
•
allowance for credit losses primarily on loans and available-for-sale fixed maturity securities; and
•
income tax assets and liabilities, including recoverability of our net deferred tax asset and the predictability of future tax operating profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset.
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
|
||
Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASU”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.
FUTURE APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued an ASU to address improvements to income tax disclosures. The standard requires disaggregated information about a company’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of this standard.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued an ASU to improve the disclosures about a company’s business expenses. The standard requires disclosure about specific types of expenses, such as depreciation, intangible asset amortization and employee compensation, included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The standard is allowed to be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We are assessing the impact of this standard.

We report our results of operations consistent with the manner in which our Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews the business to assess performance and allocate resources.
We report our results of operations as
five
reportable segments:
•
Individual Retirement
– consists of fixed annuities, fixed index annuities, registered index-linked annuities and variable annuities.
•
Group Retirement
– consists of recordkeeping, plan administrative and compliance services, financial planning and advisory solutions offered in-plan, along with proprietary and limited non-proprietary annuities, advisory and brokerage products offered out-of-plan.
•
Life Insurance
– consists of term and universal life insurance products in the United States. The International Life business issued individual and group life insurance in the United Kingdom. On April 8, 2024, Corebridge completed the sale of AIG Life U.K.
•
Institutional Markets
– consists of stable value wrap (“SVW”) products, structured settlement and pension risk transfer (“PRT”) annuities, guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”) and Corporate Markets products that include corporate- and bank-owned life insurance (“COLI-BOLI”), private placement variable universal life and private placement variable annuity products.
•
Corporate and Other
–
consists primarily of:
–
corporate expenses not attributable to our other segments;
–
interest expense on financial debt;
–
results of our consolidated investment entities;
–
institutional asset management business, which includes managing assets for non-consolidated affiliates; and
–
results of our legacy insurance lines ceded to Fortitude Re.
The chief operating decision maker assesses segment performance and allocates capital and resources to the segments based on an evaluation of each segments’ adjusted revenues and adjusted pre-tax operating income (loss) (“APTOI”). Adjusted revenues are derived by excluding certain items from total revenues. APTOI is derived by excluding certain items from income from operations before income tax. These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and adjustments that we believe to be common to the industry. Legal entities are attributed to each segment based upon the predominance of activity in that legal entity.
Corebridge

ITEM 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
3. Segment Information
APTOI excludes the impact of the following items:
Fortitude Re related adjustments:
The modified coinsurance (“modco”) reinsurance agreements with Fortitude Re transfer the economics of the invested assets supporting the reinsurance agreements to Fortitude Re. Accordingly, the net investment income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and the net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets are excluded from APTOI. Similarly, changes in the Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative are also excluded from APTOI.
The ongoing results associated with the reinsurance agreement with Fortitude Re have been excluded from APTOI as these are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.
Investment-related adjustments:
APTOI excludes “Net realized gains (losses)”, except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments. Net realized gains (losses), except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments, are excluded as the timing of sales on invested assets or changes in allowances depend largely on market credit cycles and can vary considerably across periods. In addition, changes in interest rates may create opportunistic scenarios to buy or sell invested assets. Our derivative results, including those used to economically hedge insurance liabilities, or those recognized as embedded derivatives at fair value, are also included in Net realized gains (losses) and are similarly excluded from APTOI except earned income (periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedges or for asset replication. Earned income on such economic hedges is reclassified from Net realized gains and losses to specific APTOI line items based on the economic risk being hedged (e.g., Net investment income and Interest credited to policyholder account balances).
Market Risk Benefits adjustments:
Certain of our variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts contain guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWBs”) and/or guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDBs”) which are accounted for as MRBs. Changes in the fair value of these MRBs (excluding changes related to our own credit risk), including certain rider fees attributed to the MRBs, along with changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge MRBs are recorded through “Change in the fair value of MRBs, net” and are excluded from APTOI.
Changes in the fair value of securities used to economically hedge MRBs are excluded from APTOI.
Other adjustments:
Other adjustments represent all other adjustments that are excluded from APTOI and includes the net pre-tax operating income (losses) from noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment entities. The excluded adjustments include, as applicable:
•
restructuring and other costs related to initiatives designed to reduce operating expenses, improve efficiency and simplify our organization;
•
non-recurring costs associated with the implementation of non-ordinary course legal or regulatory changes or changes to accounting principles;
•
separation costs;
•
non-operating litigation reserves and settlements;
•
loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, if any;
•
losses from the impairment of goodwill, if any; and
•
income and loss from divested or run-off business, if any.

4. Fair Value Measurements
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ON A RECURRING BASIS
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of three “levels” based on the observability of valuation inputs:
•
Level 1:
Fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. We do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.
•
Level 2:
Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
•
Level 3:
Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Therefore, we must make certain assumptions about the inputs a hypothetical market participant would use to value that asset or liability.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

4. Fair Value Measurements
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair values of positions classified in Level 3 in the tables above. As a result, the unrealized gains (losses) on instruments held at March 31, 2025 and 2024 may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities).
Transfers of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities
We record transfers of assets and liabilities into or out of Level 3 at their fair values as of the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. The Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in net income (loss) or OCI as shown in the table above excludes $
4
million and $(
8
) million of net gains (losses) related to assets transferred into Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and includes $
14
million and $
4
million of net gains (losses) related to assets transferred out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Transfers of Level 3 Assets
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, transfers into Level 3 assets primarily included certain investments in private placement corporate debt, CMBS, CLO and ABS. Transfers of private placement corporate debt and certain ABS into Level 3 assets were primarily the result of limited market pricing information that required us to determine fair value for these securities based on inputs that are adjusted to better reflect our own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or associated market liquidity. The transfers of investments in CMBS, CLO and certain ABS into Level 3 assets were due to diminished market transparency and liquidity for individual security types.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, transfers out of Level 3 assets primarily included private placement and other corporate debt, CMBS, RMBS, CLO, ABS and certain investments in municipal securities. Transfers of certain investments in municipal securities, corporate debt, RMBS, CMBS and CLO and ABS out of Level 3 assets were based on consideration of market liquidity as well as related transparency of pricing and associated observable inputs for these investments. Transfers of certain investments in private placement corporate debt and certain ABS out of Level 3 assets were primarily the result of using observable pricing information that reflects the fair value of those securities without the need for adjustment based on our own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or the current liquidity in the market.

QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT LEVEL 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The table below presents information about the significant unobservable inputs used for recurring fair value measurements for certain Level 3 instruments, and includes only those instruments for which information about the inputs is reasonably available to us, such as data from independent third-party valuation service providers and from internal valuation models. Because input information from third parties with respect to certain Level 3 instruments (primarily CLO/ABS) may not be reasonably available to us, balances shown below may not equal total amounts reported for such Level 3 assets and liabilities:

(a)
Represents discount rates, estimates and assumptions that we believe would be used by market participants when valuing these assets and liabilities.
(b)
The weighted averaging for fixed maturity securities is based on the estimated fair value of the securities. Because the valuation methodology for embedded derivatives within policyholder contract deposits and MRBs uses a range of inputs that vary at the contract level over the cash flow projection period, management believes that presenting a range, rather than weighted average, is a more meaningful representation of the unobservable inputs used in the valuation.
(c)
Information received from third-party valuation service providers. The ranges of the unobservable inputs for constant prepayment rate, loss severity and constant default rate relate to each of the individual underlying mortgage loans that comprise the entire portfolio of securities in the RMBS and CLO securitization vehicles and not necessarily to the securitization vehicle bonds (tranches) purchased by us. The ranges of these inputs do not directly correlate to changes in the fair values of the tranches purchased by us because there are other factors relevant to the fair values of specific tranches owned by us, including, but not limited to, purchase price, position in the waterfall, senior versus subordinated position and attachment points.

(d)
The Fortitude Re funds withheld payable has been excluded from the above table.
As discussed in Note 7
, the Fortitude Re funds withheld payable is created through modco and funds withheld reinsurance arrangements where the investments supporting the reinsurance agreements are withheld by and continue to reside on Corebridge’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This embedded derivative is valued as a total return swap with reference to the fair value of the invested assets held by Corebridge. Accordingly, the unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation of the embedded derivative are a component of the invested assets supporting the reinsurance agreements that are held on Corebridge’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(e)
The ranges for these inputs vary due to the different GMWB product specification and policyholder characteristics across in-force policies. Policyholder characteristics that affect these ranges include age, policy duration, and gender.
(f)
Mortality inputs are shown as multipliers of the 2012 Individual Annuity Mortality Basic table.
(g)
The partial withdrawal utilization unobservable input range shown applies only to policies with GMWB riders.
(h)
The NPA applied as a spread over risk-free curve for discounting.
(i)
The fixed index annuities embedded derivative associated with index credits related to the contracts with guaranteed product features included in policyholder contract deposits was $
1.6
billion and $
1.8
billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The ranges of reported inputs for obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions, corporate debt, RMBS, CLO/ABS and CMBS valued using a discounted cash flow technique consist of one standard deviation in either direction from the value-weighted average. The preceding table does not give effect to our risk management practices that might offset risks inherent in these Level 3 assets and liabilities.
Interrelationships Between Unobservable Inputs
We consider unobservable inputs to be those for which market data is not available and that are developed using the best information available to us about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Relevant inputs vary depending on the nature of the instrument being measured at fair value. The following paragraphs provide a general description of significant unobservable inputs along with interrelationships between and among the significant unobservable inputs and their impact on the fair value measurements. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not always have a linear effect on the inputs discussed below. Interrelationships may also exist between observable and unobservable inputs. Such relationships have not been included in the discussion below. For each of the individual relationships described below, the inverse relationship would also generally apply.
Fixed Maturity Securities
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of fixed maturity securities is yield. The yield is affected by the market movements in credit spreads and U.S. Treasury yields. The yield may be affected by other factors, including constant prepayment rates, loss severity and constant default rates. In general, increases in the yield would decrease the fair value of investments, and conversely, decreases in the yield would increase the fair value of investments.
MRBs and Embedded Derivatives within Policyholder Contract Deposits
For MRBs and embedded derivatives, the assumptions for unobservable inputs vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected for valuation purposes. The following are applicable unobservable inputs:
•
Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period for which observable equity volatilities are available. Increases in assumed volatility will generally increase the fair value of both the projected cash flows from rider fees as well as the projected cash flows related to benefit payments. Therefore, the net change in the fair value of the liability may be either a decrease or an increase, depending on the relative changes in projected rider fees and projected benefit payments.
•
Equity and interest rate correlation estimates the relationship between changes in equity returns and interest rates in the economic scenario generator used to value our MRBs. In general, a higher positive correlation assumes that equity markets and interest rates move in a more correlated fashion, which generally increases the fair value of the liability. Only our fixed index annuities with a GMWB rider are subject to the equity and interest correlation assumption. Other policies such as accumulation fixed index annuity and life products do not use a correlation assumption.
•
Base lapse rate assumptions are determined by company experience and judgment and are adjusted at the contract level using a dynamic lapse function, which reduces the base lapse rate when the contract is in-the-money (when the contract holder’s guaranteed value, as estimated by the company, is worth more than their underlying account value). Lapse rates are also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. Increases in assumed lapse rates will generally decrease the fair value of the liability as fewer policyholders would persist to collect guaranteed benefit amounts.
•
Mortality rate assumptions, which vary by age and gender, are based on company experience and include a mortality improvement assumption. Increases in assumed mortality rates will decrease the fair value of the GMWB liability, while lower mortality rate assumptions will generally increase the fair value of the liability because guaranteed withdrawal payments will be made for a longer period of time and generally exceed any decrease in guaranteed death benefits.

4. Fair Value Measurements
•
Utilization assumptions estimate the timing when policyholders with a GMWB will elect to utilize their benefit and begin taking withdrawals. The assumptions may vary by the type of guarantee, tax-qualified status, the contract’s withdrawal history and the age of the policyholder. Utilization assumptions are based on company experience, which includes partial withdrawal behavior. Increases in assumed utilization rates will generally increase the fair value of the liability.
•
Non-performance or “own credit” risk adjustment used in the valuation of MRBs and embedded derivatives, which reflects a market participant’s view of our claims-paying ability by incorporating a different spread (the “NPA spread”) to the curve used to discount projected benefit cash flows. When corporate credit spreads widen, the change in the NPA spread generally reduces the fair value of the MRBs and embedded derivatives, resulting in a gain in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) or Net realized gains (losses), respectively, and when corporate credit spreads narrow or tighten, the change in the NPA spread generally increases the fair value of the MRBs and embedded derivatives, resulting in a loss in AOCI or Net realized gains (losses), respectively.
•
The projected cash flows incorporate best estimate assumptions for policyholder behavior (including mortality, lapses, withdrawals and benefit utilization), along with an explicit risk margin to reflect a market participant’s estimates of the fair value of projected cash flows and policyholder behavior. Estimates of future policyholder behavior assumptions are subjective and based primarily on our historical experience.
•
For embedded derivatives, option budgets estimate the expected long-term cost of options used to hedge exposures associated with index price changes. The level of option budgets determines future costs of the options, which impacts the growth in account value and the valuation of embedded derivatives.
Embedded Derivatives within Reinsurance Contracts
The fair value of embedded derivatives associated with funds withheld reinsurance contracts is determined based upon a total return swap technique with reference to the fair value of the investments held by Corebridge related to Corebridge’s funds withheld payable. The fair value of the underlying assets is generally based on market observable inputs using industry standard valuation techniques. The valuation also requires certain significant inputs, which are generally not observable, and accordingly, the valuation is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Private equity fund investments included above are not redeemable, because distributions from the funds will be received when underlying investments of the funds are liquidated. Private equity funds are generally expected to have
10
-year lives at their inception, but these lives may be extended at the fund manager’s discretion, typically in
one-year
or
two-year
increments.
The majority of our hedge fund investments are redeemable upon a single month or quarter’s notice, though redemption terms vary from single, immediate withdrawals, to withdrawals staggered up to eight quarters. Some of the portfolio consists of illiquid run-off or “side-pocket” positions whose liquidation horizons are uncertain and likely beyond a year after submission of the redemption notice.

dividual fixed maturity securities that were in an unrealized loss position and for which no allowance for credit losses has been recorded (including
10,157
individual fixed maturity securities that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more). At December 31, 2024, we held
14,190
individual fixed maturity securities that were in an unrealized loss position and for which no allowance for credit losses has been recorded (including
11,054
individual fixed maturity securities that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more). We did not recognize the unrealized losses in earnings on these fixed maturity securities at March 31, 2025 because it was determined that such losses were due to non-credit factors. Additionally, we neither intend to sell the securities nor do we believe that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. For fixed maturity securities with significant declines, we performed fundamental credit analyses on a security-by-security basis, which included consideration of credit enhancements, liquidity position, expected defaults, industry and sector analysis, forecasts and available market data.

Purchased Credit Deteriorated Securities
We purchase certain RMBS securities that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. These are referred to as purchased credit deteriorated assets. At the time of purchase an allowance is recognized for these purchased credit deteriorated assets by adding it to the purchase price to arrive at the initial amortized cost. There is no credit loss expense recognized upon acquisition of a purchased credit deteriorated asset. When determining the initial allowance for credit losses, management considers the historical performance of underlying assets and available market information as well as bond-specific structural considerations, such as credit enhancement and the priority of payment structure of the security. In addition, the process of estimating future cash flows includes, but is not limited to, the following critical inputs:
•
current delinquency rates;
•
expected default rates and the timing of such defaults;
•
loss severity and the timing of any recovery; and
•
expected prepayment speeds.
Subsequent to the acquisition date, the purchased credit deteriorated assets follow the same accounting as other structured securities that are not of high credit quality.
We did not purchase securities with more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since their origination during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

We enter into secured financing transactions whereby certain securities are sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements), in which we transfer securities in exchange for cash, with an agreement by us to repurchase the same or substantially similar securities. Our secured financing transactions also include those that involve the transfer of securities to financial institutions in exchange for cash (securities lending agreements). In all of these secured financing transactions, the securities transferred by us (pledged collateral) may be sold or repledged by the counterparties. These agreements are recorded at their contracted amounts plus accrued interest, other than those that are accounted for at fair value.
Pledged collateral levels are monitored daily and are generally maintained at an agreed-upon percentage of the fair value of the amounts borrowed during the life of the transactions. In the event of a decline in the fair value of the pledged collateral under these secured financing transactions, we may be required to transfer cash or additional securities as pledged collateral under these agreements. At the termination of the transactions, we and our counterparties are obligated to return the amounts borrowed and the securities transferred, respectively.
The following table presents the fair value of securities pledged to counterparties under secured financing transactions, including repurchase and securities lending agreements:

There were $

million of reverse repurchase agreements at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
We do not currently offset any secured financing transactions. All such transactions are collateralized and margined daily consistent with market standards and subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with rights of set off.
Insurance – Statutory and Other Deposits
The total carrying value of cash and securities deposited by our insurance subsidiaries under requirements of regulatory authorities or other insurance-related arrangements, including certain annuity-related obligations and certain reinsurance treaties, wa
s $
9.3
billion and $
9.5
billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Other Pledges and Restrictions
Certain of our subsidiaries are members of Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLB”) and such membership requires the members to own stock in these FHLBs. We owned an aggregate of $
298
million and $
279
million of stock in FHLBs at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, our subsidiaries have pledged securities available-for-sale and residential loans associated with borrowings and funding agreements from FHLBs, with a fair value of $
4.5
billion and $
4.9
billion, respectively, at March 31, 2025 and $
4.2
billion and $
3.2
billion, respectively, at December 31, 2024.
Certain GICs recorded in policyholder contract deposits with a carrying value of $
62
million and $
47
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, have provisions that require collateral to be posted or payments to be made by us upon a downgrade of our Insurer Financial Strength (“IFS”) ratings. The actual amount of collateral required to be posted to the counterparties in the event of such downgrades and the aggregate amount of payments that we could be required to make depend on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at and after the time of the downgrade. The fair value of securities pledged as collateral with respect to these obligations was approximately $
60
million and $
62
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. This collateral primarily consists of securities of the U.S. government and government-sponsored entities and generally cannot be repledged or resold by the counterparties.
As part of our collateralized reinsurance transactions, we pledge collateral to cedants as contractually required. The fair value of securities pledged as excess collateral with respect to these obligations was approximately $
540
million and $
546
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Additionally, assets supporting these transactions are held solely for the benefit of the cedants and insulated from obligations owed to our other policyholders and general creditors.
Reinsurance transactions between Corebridge and Fortitude Re were structured as modco with funds withheld.

Commercial mortgages primarily represent loans for apartments, offices and industrial properties, with exposures in New York and California representing the largest geographic concentrations (aggregating approximately
17
% and
10
%, respectively, at March 31, 2025, and
18
% and
10
%, respectively, at December 31, 2024). The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for NY and CA was
68
% and
55
% at March 31, 2025, respectively, and
65
% and
56
% at December 31, 2024, respectively. The debt service coverage ratio for NY and CA was
1.9
X and
2.1
X at March 31, 2025, respectively, and
1.9
X and
2.1
X at December 31, 2024, respectively.
(b)
There were no loans that were held for sale which are carried at lower of cost or market as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
(c)
Does not include allowance for credit losses of $
9
million and $
20
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, in relation to off-balance-sheet commitments to fund commercial mortgage loans, which is recorded in Other liabilities.
Interest income is not accrued when payment of contractual principal and interest is not expected. Any cash received on impaired loans is generally recorded as a reduction of the current carrying amount of the loan. Accrual of interest income is generally resumed when delinquent contractual principal and interest are repaid or when a portion of the delinquent contractual payments are made, and the ongoing required contractual payments have been made for an appropriate period. As of March 31, 2025, $
116
million and $
1.1
billion of residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, respectively, are in nonaccrual status. As of December 31, 2024, $
93
million and $
1.0
billion of residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, respectively, were placed on nonaccrual status.
Accrued interest is presented separately and is included in Accrued investment income on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2025, accrued interest receivable was $
78
million and $
165
million
associated with residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, accrued interest receivable was $
71
million and $
154
million associated with residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, respectively.
A significant majority of commercial mortgages in the portfolio are non-recourse loans and, accordingly, the only guarantees are for specific items that are exceptions to the non-recourse provisions. It is therefore extremely rare for us to have cause to enforce the provisions of a guarantee on a commercial real estate or mortgage loan.
Nonperforming loans are generally those loans where payment of contractual principal or interest is more than 90 days past due. Nonperforming loans were not significant for all periods presented.

Does not include allowance for credit losses of $
9
million and $
48
million at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in relation to the off-balance-sheet commitments to fund commercial mortgage loans, which is recorded in Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our expectations and models used to estimate the allowance for losses on commercial and residential mortgage loans are regularly updated to reflect the current economic environment.
LOAN MODIFICATIONS
The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. We use a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses for our commercial and residential mortgage loans. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.
Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses utilizing the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification.
When modifications are executed, they often will be in the form of principal forgiveness, term extensions, interest rate reductions, or some combination of any of these concessions. When principal is forgiven, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.

ITEM 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
6. Lending Activities
We assess whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on a variety of factors, including the borrower’s current default on any of its outstanding debt, the probability of a default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification, the insufficiency of the borrower’s forecasted cash flows to service any of its outstanding debt (including both principal and interest), and the borrower’s inability to access alternative third party financing at an interest rate that would be reflective of current market conditions for a non-troubled debtor.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Corebridge did not modify any loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
There were no loans that defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, that had been previously modified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.
Corebridge closely monitors the performance of the loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. All loans with borrowers with financial difficulty that have been modified in the previous 12 months are current and performing in conjunction with its modified terms.
In the ordinary course of business, our insurance companies may use ceded reinsurance to limit potential losses, provide additional capacity for growth, minimize exposure to significant risks or to provide greater diversification of our businesses. We may also use assumed reinsurance to diversify our business. Our reinsurance is principally under yearly renewable term (“YRT”) treaties, along with a large modco treaty reinsuring the majority of our legacy business to Fortitude Re. Reinsurance premiums ceded are recognized when due, along with corresponding benefits. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are presented as a component of Reinsurance assets.
Reinsurance assets include the balances due from reinsurance and insurance companies under the terms of our reinsurance agreements for ceded future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts and benefits paid and unpaid. We remain liable to the extent that our reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance contracts, and as such, we regularly evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentration of our credit risk. The estimation of the allowance for credit losses and disputes requires judgment for which key inputs typically include historical trends regarding uncollectible balances, disputes and credit events as well as specific reviews of balances in dispute or subject to credit impairment. Changes in the allowance for credit losses and disputes on reinsurance assets are reflected in policyholder benefits within the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Certain of our reinsurers have sought rate increases on certain YRT agreements. We have disputed, and expect to continue disputing, any requested rate increases under these agreements. Certain reinsurers may send rate increases in the future and those may result in arbitration. To the extent reinsurers seek retroactive premium increases, our practice is to assess and accrue our current estimate of probable loss with respect to these matters.
Reinsurance recoverables are recognized in a manner consistent with the liabilities relating to the underlying reinsured contracts.
FORTITUDE RE
AGL, and USL have modco agreements with Fortitude Re, a registered Class 4 and Class E reinsurer in Bermuda. VALIC’s modco agreement with Fortitude Re was recaptured effective January 1, 2025, resulting in a $
45
million charge to pre-tax earnings.
In the modco arrangement, the investments supporting the reinsurance agreements, which consist mostly of available-for-sale securities, and which reflect the majority of the consideration that would be paid to the reinsurer for entering into the transaction, are withheld by, and therefore continue to reside on the balance sheet of, the ceding company (i.e., Corebridge), thereby creating an obligation for the ceding company to pay the reinsurer (i.e., Fortitude Re) at a later date. Additionally, as Corebridge maintains ownership of these investments, Corebridge will maintain its existing accounting for these assets (e.g., the changes in fair value of available-for-sale securities will be recognized within OCI). Corebridge has established a funds withheld payable to Fortitude Re while simultaneously establishing a reinsurance asset representing liabilities for the insurance coverage that Fortitude Re has assumed. The funds withheld payable contains an embedded derivative and changes in fair value of the embedded derivative related to the funds withheld payable are recognized in earnings through realized gains (losses). This embedded derivative is considered a total return swap with contractual returns that are attributable to various assets and liabilities associated with these reinsurance agreements.

Various assets supporting the Fortitude Re funds withheld arrangements are reported at amortized cost, and as such, changes in the fair value of these assets are not reflected in the financial statements. However, changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the embedded derivative in the Fortitude Re funds withheld arrangement and the appreciation (depreciation) of the assets is the primary driver of the comprehensive income (loss) reflected above.
REINSURANCE – CREDIT LOSSES
The estimation of reinsurance recoverables involves a significant amount of judgment. Reinsurance assets include reinsurance recoverables on future policy benefits and policyholder contract deposits that are estimated as part of our insurance liability valuation process and, consequently, are subject to similar judgments and uncertainties as the estimation of gross benefit liabilities.
We assess the collectability of reinsurance recoverable balances in each reporting period, through either historical trends of disputes and credit events or financial analysis of the credit quality of the reinsurer. We record adjustments to reflect the results of these assessments through an allowance for credit losses and disputes on uncollectible reinsurance that reduces the carrying amount of reinsurance and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (collectively, the reinsurance recoverable balances). This estimate requires significant judgment for which key considerations include:
•
paid and unpaid amounts recoverable;
•
whether the balance is in dispute or subject to legal collection;
Corebridge

ITEM 1 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
7. Reinsurance
•
the relative financial health of the reinsurer as classified by the Obligor Risk Ratings (“ORRs”) we assign to each reinsurer based upon our financial reviews; insurers that are financially troubled (i.e., in run-off, have voluntarily or involuntarily been placed in receivership, are insolvent, are in the process of liquidation or otherwise subject to formal or informal regulatory restriction) are assigned ORRs that will generate a significant allowance; and
•
whether collateral and collateral arrangements exist.
An estimate of the reinsurance recoverable’s lifetime expected credit losses is established utilizing a probability of default and loss given default method, which reflects the reinsurer’s ORR. The allowance for credit losses excludes disputed amounts. An allowance for disputes is established for a reinsurance recoverable using the losses incurred model for contingencies.
T
he total reinsurance recoverables as of March 31, 2025 were $
26.3
billion. As of that date, utilizing Corebridge’s ORRs, (i) approximately
95
% of the reinsurance recoverables were investment grade, (ii) approximately
5
% were non-investment grade reinsurance recoverables and (iii) none of the reinsurance recoverables were related to entities t
hat were not rated by Corebridge.

Past-Due Status
A VIE is a legal entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or is structured such that equity investors lack the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights or do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE by its primary beneficiary is not based on majority voting interest but is based on other criteria discussed below.
We enter into various arrangements with VIEs in the normal course of business and consolidate the VIEs when we determine we are the primary beneficiary. This analysis includes a review of the VIE’s capital structure, related contractual relationships and terms, nature of the VIE’s operations and purpose, nature of the VIE’s interests issued and our involvement with the entity. When assessing the need to consolidate a VIE, we evaluate the design of the VIE as well as the related risks to which the entity was designed to expose the variable interest holders.
The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. While also considering these factors, the consolidation conclusion depends on the breadth of our decision-making ability and our ability to influence activities that significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE.

These amounts represent our unfunded commitments to invest in private equity funds and hedge funds.
We use derivatives and other financial instruments as part of our financial risk management programs and as part of our investment operations. Interest rate derivatives (such as interest rate futures, swaps and options), equity derivatives (such as equity futures, swaps and options) and fixed maturity securities are used to economically mitigate interest rate risk, equity risk and credit spread exposure associated with MRBs and embedded derivatives contained in insurance contract liabilities. Interest rate derivatives are used to manage interest rate risk associated with fixed maturity securities as well as other interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Equity derivatives are used to economically mitigate financial risk associated with embedded derivatives and MRBs in certain insurance liabilities. In addition, equity derivatives are used to economically hedge certain investments. Foreign exchange derivatives (principally foreign exchange forwards and swaps) are used to economically mitigate risk associated with foreign denominated investments, net capital exposures and foreign currency transactions. We use credit derivatives to manage our credit exposures. The derivatives are effective economic hedges of the exposures that they are meant to offset. As part of our strategy to enhance investment income, in addition to hedging activities, we also enter into derivative contracts with respect to investment operations, which may include, among other things, credit default swaps (“CDS”), total return swaps and purchases of investments with embedded derivatives, such as equity-linked notes and convertible bonds.

9. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
Interest rate, currency and equity swaps, credit contracts, swaptions, options and forward transactions are accounted for as derivatives, recorded on a trade-date basis and carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are generally reflected in income, except in certain situations in which hedge accounting is applied and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in AOCI. Aggregate asset or liability positions are netted on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets only to the extent permitted by qualifying master netting arrangements in place with each respective counterparty. Cash collateral posted with counterparties in conjunction with transactions supported by qualifying master netting arrangements is reported as a reduction of the corresponding net derivative liability, while cash collateral received in conjunction with transactions supported by qualifying master netting arrangements is reported as a reduction of the corresponding net derivative asset.
Derivatives, with the exception of embedded derivatives, are reported at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in
and
. Embedded derivatives are generally presented with the host contract in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A bifurcated embedded derivative is measured at fair value and accounted for in the same manner as a freestanding derivative contract. The corresponding host contract is accounted for according to the accounting guidance applicable for that instrument.
For additional information on embedded derivatives and MRBs, see Notes 4, 13 and 14.

COLLATERAL
We engage in derivative transactions that are not subject to a clearing requirement directly with related parties and unaffiliated third parties, in most cases under International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements. Many of the ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex provisions, which provide for collateral postings that may vary based on criteria such as ratings and threshold levels. We attempt to reduce our risk with certain counterparties by entering into agreements that enable collateral to be obtained from a counterparty on an up-front or contingent basis. We minimize the risk that counterparties might be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring counterparty credit exposure and collateral value and generally requiring additional collateral to be posted upon the occurrence of certain events or circumstances.
Collateral posted by us to third parties for derivative transactions was $
1.6
billion and $
1.4
billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
No
collateral was posted by us to related parties for derivative transactions at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In the case of collateral posted under derivative transactions that are not subject to clearing, this collateral can generally be repledged or resold by the counterparties. Collateral provided to us from third parties for derivative transactions was $
2.2
billion and $
2.7
billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Collateral provided to us from related parties for derivative transactions was $
16
million and $
21
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In the case of collateral provided to us under derivative transactions that are not subject to clearing, we generally can repledge or resell collateral.
OFFSETTING
We have elected to present all derivative receivables and derivative payables, and the related cash collateral received and paid, on a net basis on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when a legally enforceable ISDA Master Agreement exists between us and our derivative counterparty. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement governing multiple derivative transactions between two counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement generally provides for the net settlement of all, or a specified group, of these derivative transactions, as well as transferred collateral, through a single payment, and in a single currency, as applicable. The net settlement provisions apply in the event of a default on, or affecting any, one derivative transaction or a termination event affecting all, or a specified group of, derivative transactions governed by the ISDA Master Agreement

9. Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We designated certain derivatives entered into with related parties as fair value hedges of available-for-sale securities held by our insurance subsidiaries. The fair value hedges include foreign currency forwards and cross-currency swaps designated as hedges of the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated available-for-sale securities attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. We also designated certain interest rate swaps entered into with both third parties and related parties as fair value hedges of fixed rate GICs attributable to changes in benchmark interest rates.
In 2022, we designated certain interest rate swaps entered into with related parties as cash flow hedges of forecasted coupon payments associated with anticipated long-term debt issuances. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, $
7
million and $
7
million, respectively, has been reclassified into Interest expense. The remaining amount in AOCI, of $
139
million, will be reclassified into Interest expense over the life of the hedging relationship, which can extend up to
30
years. We expect $
28
million to be reclassified into Interest expense over the next 12 months. There are
no
amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness that are recognized in earnings.
For additional information related to the debt issuances, see Note
15
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We also designated certain interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of floating-rate investment assets. Related to such swaps, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized derivative gains (losses) of $
182
million in AOCI and $(

) million in net investment income. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized derivative gains (losses) of $(
18
) million in AOCI and $(
3
) million in net investment income. As it relates to such hedges, we do not expect any reclassifications into net investment income over the next 12 months and there are no amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness that are recognized in earnings.
We use cross-currency swaps as hedging instruments in net investment hedge relationships to mitigate the foreign exchange risk associated with our non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign subsidiaries. For net investment hedge relationships that use derivatives as hedging instruments, we assess hedge effectiveness and measure hedge ineffectiveness using changes in forward rates. We recognized gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 of $(
4
) million and $
2
million, respectively, included in Change in foreign currency translation adjustment in OCI related to the net investment hedge relationships. The gains (losses) recognized primarily include transactions with related parties. A qualitative methodology is utilized to assess hedge effectiveness for net investment hedges, while regression analysis is employed for all other hedges.

In addition to embedded derivatives within policyholder contract deposits, certain guaranteed benefits within insurance contracts are classified as MRBs. The change in the fair value of these benefits is disclosed in
Note 14
. The change in the fair value of MRBs and the derivative instruments that hedge those risks are recognized in “Change in the fair value of MRBs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
HYBRID SECURITIES WITH EMBEDDED CREDIT DERIVATIVES
W
e invest in hybrid securities (such as credit-linked notes) with the intent of generating income, and not specifically to acquire exposure to embedded derivative risk. As is the case with our other investments in RMBS, CMBS, CLOs, ABS and collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), our investments in these hybrid securities are exposed to losses only up to the amount of our initial investment in the hybrid security. Other than our initial investment in the hybrid securities, we have no further obligation to make payments on the embedded credit derivatives in the related hybrid securities.
We elect to account for our investments in these hybrid securities with embedded written credit derivatives at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in Net investment income. Our investments in these hybrid securities are reported as Other bond securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of these hybrid securities were both
zero
at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. These securities have par amounts of $
25
million and $
25
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and have remaining stated maturity dates that extend to 2052.

10. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
Deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) represent those costs that are incremental and directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal of existing insurance contracts. We defer incremental costs that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition or renewal of an insurance contract. Such DAC generally include agent or broker commissions and bonuses, and medical fees that would not have been incurred if the insurance contract had not been acquired or renewed. Each cost is analyzed to assess whether it is fully deferrable. We partially defer costs, including certain commissions, when we do not believe that the entire cost is directly related to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts. Commissions that are not deferred to DAC are recorded in Non-deferrable insurance commissions in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
We also defer a portion of employee total compensation and payroll-related fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing specific acquisition or renewal activities, including costs associated with the time spent on underwriting, policy issuance and processing, and sales force contract selling. The amounts deferred are derived based on successful efforts for each distribution channel and/or cost center from which the cost originates.
The following table presents a rollforward of deferred policy acquisition costs related to long-duration contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

11. Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
We report variable contracts within the separate accounts when investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder and the separate account meets additional accounting criteria to qualify for separate account treatment. The assets supporting the variable portion of variable annuity and variable universal life contracts that qualify for separate account treatment are carried at fair value and are reported as separate account assets, with an equivalent summary total reported as separate account liabilities. The assets of insulated accounts are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise from any of our other businesses.
Policy values for variable products and investment contracts are expressed in terms of investment units. Each unit is linked to an asset portfolio. The value of a unit increases or decreases based on the value of the linked asset portfolio. The current liability at any time is the sum of the current unit value of all investment units in the separate accounts, plus any liabilities for MRBs.
Amounts assessed against the policyholders for mortality, administrative and other services are included in policy fees. Investment performance (including investment income, net investment gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gains (losses)) and the corresponding amounts credited to policyholders of such separate accounts are offset within the same line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
For discussion of the fair value measurement of guaranteed benefits that are accounted for as MRBs, see Note 4.

The cash surrender value represents the amount of the contract holder’s account balance distributable at the balance sheet date less applicable surrender charges.
Separate account liabilities primarily represent the contract holder's account balance in separate account assets and will be equal and offsetting to total separate account assets.
12. Future Policy Benefits
Future policy benefits primarily include reserves for traditional life and annuity payout contracts, which represent an estimate of the present value of future benefits less the present value of future net premiums. Included in Future policy benefits are liabilities for annuities issued in structured settlement arrangements whereby a claimant receives life contingent payments over their lifetime.
Also included are pension risk transfer arrangements whereby an upfront premium is received in exchange for guaranteed retirement benefits.
All payments under these arrangements are fixed and determinable with respect to their amounts and dates. Structured settlement or other annuitization elections (e.g., certain single premium immediate annuities) that do not involve life contingent payments, but rather payments for a stated period are included in Policyholder contract deposits.

12. Future Policy Benefits
(a)
Effect of changes in cash flow assumptions and variances from actual experience are partially offset by changes in the deferred profit liability.
(b)
Additional details can be found in the table that presents the balances and changes in the liability for universal life policies.
(c)
Other reconciling items primarily include the Accident and Health as well as Group Benefits (short-duration) contracts.
(d)
The weighted average liability durations are calculated as the modified duration using projected future net liability cashflows that are aggregated at the segment level, utilizing the segment level weighted average interest rates and current discount rate, which can be found in the table below.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 in the traditional and term life insurance block, capping of net premium ratios at 100% caused a (credit)/charge to net income of $
0
million, and $(
1
) million, respectively. The discount rate was updated based on market observable information. Relative to the prior period, the increase in upper-medium-grade fixed income yields resulted in a decrease in the liability for future policy benefits.
The following table presents the amount of undiscounted expected future benefit payments and undiscounted and discounted expected gross premiums for future policy benefits for nonparticipating contracts:

12. Future Policy Benefits
Additional Liabilities:
For universal-life type products, insurance benefits in excess of the account balance are generally recognized as expenses in the period incurred unless the design of the product is such that future charges are insufficient to cover the benefits, in which case an “additional liability” is accrued over the life of the contract. These additional liabilities are included in Future policy benefits for life and accident and health insurance contracts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our additional liabilities include universal life policies with secondary guarantees and these additional liabilities are recognized in addition to the Policyholder account balances. For universal life policies with secondary guarantees, as well as other universal life policies for which profits followed by losses are expected at contract inception, a liability is recognized based on a benefit ratio of (a) the present value of total expected payments, in excess of the account value, over the life of the contract, divided by (b) the present value of total expected assessments over the life of the contract. For universal life policies without secondary guarantees, for which profits followed by losses are first expected after contract inception, we establish a liability, in addition to policyholder account balances, so that expected future losses are recognized in proportion to the emergence of profits in the earlier (profitable) years. Universal life account balances are reported within Policyholder contract deposits, while these additional liabilities are reported within the liability for future policy benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These additional liabilities are also adjusted to reflect the effect of unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale on accumulated assessments, with related changes recognized through OCI. The policyholder behavior assumptions for these liabilities include mortality, lapses and premium persistency. The capital market assumptions used for the liability for universal life policies include discount rates and net earned rates.
The following table presents the balances and changes in the liability for universal life policies:

13. Policyholder Contract Deposits and Other Policyholder Funds
POLICYHOLDER CONTRACT DEPOSITS
The liability for Policyholder contract deposits is primarily recorded at accumulated value (deposits received and net transfers from separate accounts, plus accrued interest credited, less withdrawals and assessed fees). Deposits collected on investment-oriented products are not reflected as revenues. They are recorded directly to Policyholder contract deposits upon receipt. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are included as Policy fees in revenues.
In addition to liabilities for universal life, fixed annuities, fixed options within variable annuities, annuities without life contingencies, funding agreements and GICs, policyholder contract deposits also include our liability for (i) index features accounted for as embedded derivatives at fair value, (ii) annuities issued in a structured settlement arrangement with no life contingency and (iii) certain contracts we have elected to account for at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives related to policy index features and the fair value of derivatives hedging these liabilities are recognized in realized gains and losses.
For additional information on index credits accounted for as embedded derivatives, see Note 4.

OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS
Other policyholder funds include unearned revenue reserve (“URR”), consisting of front-end loads on investment-oriented contracts, representing those policy loads that are non-level and typically higher in initial policy years than in later policy years. Amortization of URR is recorded in Policy fees.
URR for investment-oriented contracts are generally deferred and amortized into income using the same assumptions and factors used to amortize DAC (i.e., on a constant level basis).

MRBs are defined as contracts or contract features that both provide protection to the contract holder from other-than-nominal capital market risk and expose Corebridge to other-than nominal capital market risk. The MRB represents an amount that a policyholder receives in addition to the account balance upon the occurrence of a specific event or circumstance, such as death, annuitization, or periodic withdrawal that involves protection from other-than-nominal capital market risk. Certain contract features, such as GMWBs, GMDBs and guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIBs”) commonly found in variable annuities, fixed index annuities and fixed annuities, are MRBs. MRBs are assessed at contract inception using a non-option method involving attributed fees that results in an initial fair value of zero or an option method that results in a fair value greater than zero.
MRBs are recorded at fair value, and Corebridge applies a non-option attributed fee valuation method for variable annuity products, and an option-based valuation method (host offset) for fixed index a
nd fixed products.
Changes in the fair value of Market Risk Benefits, net
represents changes in the fair value of market risk benefit liabilities and assets (with the exception of our own credit risk changes), and includes attributed rider fees and benefits, net of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and fixed maturity securities that are used to economically hedge market risk from the variable annuity GMWB riders.

On May 12, 2022, Corebridge Parent entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2022 Revolving Credit Agreement”). At December 31, 2024 there were no loans outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement. On March 26, 2025 the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement was terminated without penalty.
On March 26, 2025, Corebridge Parent entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2025 Revolving Credit Agreement”). The 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement replaces the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement scheduled to mature in 2027. The 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a
five year
total commitment of $
3.0
billion revolving credit facility. Under circumstances described in the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement, the aggregate commitments may be increased by up to $
500
million, for a total commitment under the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement of $
3.5
billion. Loans under the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement will mature on March 26, 2030. Under the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement, the applicable rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee were determined by reference to the credit ratings of Corebridge Parent’s senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness. Borrowings bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to loans in US Dollars, an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin or the adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus an applicable margin, (ii) with respect to loans in Euros, the adjusted European Union Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus an applicable margin, (iii) with respect to loans in Pounds Sterling, the adjusted Daily Simple Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) Rate plus an applicable margin and (iv) with respect to loans in Japanese Yen, the adjusted Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (“TIBOR”) plus an applicable margin.
In the normal course of business, we enter into various contingent liabilities and commitments. Although we cannot currently quantify our ultimate liability for unresolved litigation and investigation matters, including those referred to below, it is possible that such liability could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period.
LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
Overview
In the normal course of business, we are subject to regulatory and government investigations and actions, and litigation and other forms of dispute resolution in a large number of proceedings pending in various domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Certain of these matters involve potentially significant risk of loss due to potential for significant jury awards and settlements, punitive damages or other penalties. Many of these matters are also highly complex and may seek recovery on behalf of a class or similarly large number of plaintiffs. It is therefore inherently difficult to predict the size or scope of potential future losses arising from these matters. In our insurance and reinsurance operations, litigation and arbitration concerning the scope of coverage under insurance and reinsurance contracts, and litigation and arbitration in which our subsidiaries defend or indemnify their insureds under insurance contracts, are generally considered in the establishment of our future policy benefits. Separate and apart from the foregoing matters involving insurance and reinsurance coverage, we and our respective officers and directors are subject to a variety of additional types of legal proceedings brought by holders of our securities, customers, employees and others, alleging, among other things, breach of contractual or fiduciary duties, bad faith, indemnification and violations of federal and state statutes and regulations. With respect to these other categories of matters not arising out of claims for insurance or reinsurance coverage, we establish reserves for loss contingencies when it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many instances, we are unable to determine whether a loss is probable or to reasonably estimate the amount of such a loss and, therefore, the potential future losses arising from legal proceedings may exceed the amount of liabilities that we have recorded in our financial statements covering these matters. While such potential future charges could be material, based on information currently known to management, management does not believe, other than as may be discussed below, that any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

16. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees
Additionally, from time to time, various regulatory and governmental agencies review our transactions and practices in connection with industry-wide and other inquiries or examinations into, among other matters, the business practices of current and former operating subsidiaries. Such investigations, inquiries or examinations could develop into administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or enforcement actions, in which remedies could include fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in our business practices, and could result in additional expenses, limitations on certain business activities and reputational damage.
Moriarty Litigation
AGL continues to defend against
Moriarty v. American General Life Insurance Co
. (S.D. Cal.), a putative class action involving Sections 10113.71 and 10113.72 of the California Insurance Code, which was instituted against AGL on July 18, 2017. In general, those statutes require that for life-insurance policies issued and delivered in California: (1) the policy must contain a 60-day grace period following non-payment of premium during which the policy remains in force; (2) the insurer must provide a 30-day pre-lapse notice; and (3) the insurer must notify policy owners of the right to designate a secondary recipient for lapse notices. The plaintiff contends AGL did not comply with these requirements for a policy issued before these statutes went into effect. The plaintiff seeks damages and other relief. AGL asserts various defenses to the plaintiff’s claims and to class certification. In 2022, the District Court held that a trial was necessary to determine whether AGL was liable on the plaintiff’s breach of contract claim, and it denied class certification. In May 2023, the case was reassigned to a new judge. On August 14, 2023, the District Court granted the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment on the plaintiff’s breach of contract claim. On September 26, 2023, the District Court decided that good cause exists to allow the plaintiff to file a third motion for class certification. At the same time, however, the District Court certified its August 14, 2023 order for interlocutory appeal to the Ninth Circuit and stayed trial court proceedings pending the outcome of AGL’s appeal. The Ninth Circuit granted AGL’s petition for interlocutory appeal on November 21, 2023. AGL filed its opening brief on April 15, 2024. Plaintiff filed its answering brief on July 22, 2024, and AGL filed its reply on September 11, 2024. On August 13, 2024, Plaintiff filed a motion with the Ninth Circuit to certify a question regarding the interpretation of the California statute – namely, whether an insured can terminate an insurance policy without having complied with the notice and grace period requirements of the California statute. AGL opposed Plaintiff’s motion on August 23, 2024, arguing that there was no basis for certification and disagreeing with Plaintiff’s claimed issue for review.
While the
Moriarty
appeal was pending, the Ninth Circuit issued a published decision in
Small v. Allianz Life Insurance Co. of North America
, a related case presenting a substantially identical issue. The Ninth Circuit’s decision in
Small
squarely rejected the theory that the plaintiffs had advanced in that case and in
Moriarty
and embraced the argument, made by insurers, that any policyholder or beneficiary suing based on supposed breaches of Sections 10113.71 and 10113.72 must prove that the breaches actually caused them harm, for instance by resulting in missed payments or the lapse of the policy. On January 6, 2025, the parties in
Moriarty
, at the Ninth Circuit’s request, submitted simultaneous supplemental briefing on
Small’s
effect on the litigation, with AGL taking the position that
Small
fully disposes of the appeal in its favor and requires vacatur of the summary-judgment order in Plaintiff’s favor. The plaintiff in
Small
filed a petition for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc on January 23, 2025. The Ninth Circuit denied the
Small
petition for rehearing on February 19, 2025, and the mandate in that case was issued on February 27, 2025. On March 4, 2025 the panel in
Moriarty
issued a memorandum disposition without hearing oral argument, vacating the district court’s summary-judgment order and remanding for further proceedings. The panel’s short opinion principally relies on the Ninth Circuit’s decision in
Small
. The panel also denied Plaintiff’s request to certify a question to the California Supreme Court. On April 8, 2025, Plaintiff filed a petition for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc. Like the plaintiff in
Small
, Plaintiff asked the full Ninth Circuit to grant rehearing in order to reconsider
Small
, or, alternatively, to certify a question to the California Supreme Court.
In addition, in
Pitt v. Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Co
., a case presenting a distinct question about whether the statutes apply to life insurance policies initially issued and delivered in a state other than California, the Ninth Circuit has certified that extraterritoriality question to the California Supreme Court. The Plaintiff in
Moriarty
filed an amicus letter in
Pitt
urging the California Supreme Court to accept review of that extraterritoriality question, as well as the distinct causation question at issue in
Moriarty
. The insurer in
Pitt
prepared a reply letter urging rejection of that proposal, which was filed on March 24, 2025.
AGL is also defending other actions in California involving similar issues.
Wong v. American General Life Insurance Co.
(C.D. Cal.) was filed in state court on July 31, 2024, and removed to federal court on September 4, 2024.
Gevorgyan v. American General Life Insurance Co.
(C.D. Cal.) was filed in state court on January 17, 2025, and removed to federal court on March 27, 2025.
Delgado v.
American General Life Insurance Co.
(C.D. Cal.) was filed in federal court on March 7, 2025.
People of the State of California v. American General Life Insurance Co.
, et al. (Cal. Superior Court, San Diego County) was filed on October 17, 2024, against AGL, Lincoln Benefit Life Co., Everlake Life Insurance Co., and Transamerica Life Insurance Co., seeking civil penalties and equitable relief under California Business & Professions Code §§ 17200 et seq. On January 27, 2025, AGL filed a demurrer to the complaint. That demurrer is set for a hearing on June 13, 2025.
These cases are in the early stages, and AGL expects their progress will be influenced by future developments in
Moriarty
and cases against other insurers involving the same insurance statutes. AGL has accrued its current estimate of probable loss with respect to these litigation matters.

16. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees
OTHER COMMITMENTS
In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments to invest in limited partnerships, private equity funds and hedge funds and to purchase and develop real estate in the United States and abroad. These commitments totaled
$
4.2
billion
at March 31, 2025.
GUARANTEES
Asset Dispositions
We are subject to guarantees and indemnity arrangements in connection with the completed sales of businesses. The various arrangements may be triggered by, among other things, declines in asset values; the occurrence of specified business contingencies; the realization of contingent liabilities; developments in litigation; or breaches of representations, warranties or covenants provided by us. These arrangements are typically subject to various time limitations, defined by the contract or by operation of law, such as statutes of limitations. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation is subject to contractual limitations, while in other cases such limitations are not specified or are not applicable.
We are unable to develop a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential payout under certain of these arrangements. Overall, we believe that it is unlikely we will have to make any material payments related to completed sales under these arrangements, and no material liabilities related to these arrangements have been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Guarantees provided by AIG
Prior to the IPO, AIG provided certain guarantees to us as described below. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement we will indemnify, defend and hold harmless AIG against or from any liability arising from or related to these guarantees.
Certain of our insurance subsidiaries benefit from General Guarantee Agreements under which American Home Assurance Company (“AHAC”) or National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA (“NUFIC”) has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed all present and future obligations arising from certain insurance policies issued by these subsidiaries (a “Guaranteed Policy” or the “Guaranteed Policies”). AHAC and NUFIC are required to perform under the agreements if one of the insurance subsidiaries fails to make payments due under a Guaranteed Policy. These General Guarantee Agreements have all been terminated as to insurance policies issued after the date of termination. AHAC and NUFIC have not been required to perform under any of the agreements but remain contingently liable for all policyholder obligations associated with the Guaranteed Policies. We did not pay any fees under these agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.
AIG Parent provides a full and unconditional guarantee of all outstanding notes and junior subordinated debentures of Corebridge Life Holdings, Inc. (“CRBGLH”). This includes:
•
a guarantee (the “CRBGLH External Debt Guarantee”) in connection with CRBGLH junior subordinated debentures and certain CRBGLH notes (the “CRBGLH External Debt”).
In addition to the Separation Agreement, we have entered into a guarantee reimbursement agreement with AIG Parent which provides that we will reimburse AIG Parent for the full amount of any payment made by or on behalf of AIG Parent pursuant to the CRBGLH External Debt Guarantee. We have also entered into a collateral agreement with AIG Parent which provides that in the event of: (i) a ratings downgrade of Corebridge Parent or CRBGLH long-term unsecured indebtedness below specified levels or (ii) the failure by CRBGLH to pay principal and interest on the External Debt when due, we must collateralize an amount equal to the sum of: (a)
100
% of the principal amount outstanding, (b) accrued and unpaid interest and (c)
100
% of the net present value of scheduled interest payments through the maturity dates of the CRBGLH External Debt.

Certain of our share repurchases have been and may from time to time be effected through the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plans. On May 4, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a $
1.0
billion share repurchase program. On April 30, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $
2.0
billion increase in the share repurchase amount under the share repurchase program. On February 11, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $
2.0

NON-REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
The activity in non-redeemable noncontrolling interest primarily relates to activities with consolidated investment entities.
The changes in non-redeemable noncontrolling interest due to divestitures and acquisitions primarily relate to the formation and funding of new consolidated investment entities. The majority of the funding for these consolidated investment entities comes from affiliated companies of Corebridge.
The changes in non-redeemable noncontrolling interest due to contributions from noncontrolling interests primarily relate to the additional capital calls related to consolidated investment entities.
The changes in non-redeemable noncontrolling interest due to distributions to noncontrolling interests primarily relate to dividends or other distributions related to consolidated investment entities.

RECENT TAX LAW CHANGES
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376), (the “Inflation Reduction Act”) includes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on adjusted financial statement income for corporations with average profits over $1 billion over a three-year period and a 1% stock buyback tax. In 2024, the U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) published the proposed regulations that would address the application of CAMT, which were open to public comment through January 16, 2025, and certain specifics of application of the CAMT remain subject to future guidance. Our estimated CAMT liability will continue to be refined based on future guidance.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Prior to the IPO, Corebridge Parent and certain U.S. subsidiaries were included in the consolidated federal income tax return of AIG as well as certain state tax returns where AIG files on a combined or unitary basis. Following the IPO, AIG owned less than
80
% interest in Corebridge, resulting in tax deconsolidation of Corebridge from the AIG Consolidated Tax Group. Under the tax law, AGC and its directly owned life insurance subsidiaries (the “AGC Group”) will not be permitted to join in the filing of a U.S. consolidated federal income tax return with our other subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Life Group”) for the five-year waiting period. Instead, the AGC Group is expected to file separately as members of the AGC Group consolidated U.S. federal income tax return during the five-year waiting period. Following the five-year waiting period, the AGC Group is expected to join the U.S. consolidated federal income tax return with the Non-Life Group for the 2028 tax year.
RECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN TAX EFFECTS FROM AOCI
We use an item-by-item approach to release the stranded or disproportionate income tax effects in AOCI related to our available-for-sale securities. Under this approach, a portion of the disproportionate tax effects is assigned to each individual security lot at the date the amount becomes lodged. When the individual securities are sold, mature or are otherwise impaired on an other-than-temporary basis, the assigned portion of the disproportionate tax effect is reclassified from AOCI to income (loss) from operations.
INTERIM TAX CALCULATION METHOD
We use the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing our interim tax provision. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual or infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit is reported in the same period as the related item. Certain tax effects are also not reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate, primarily reclassification of certain tax effects from AOCI and realizability of deferred tax assets, and are recorded in the period in which the change occurs.
INTERIM TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the effective tax rate on loss from operations was
23.8
%. The effective tax rate on loss from operations differs from the statutory tax rate of
21
% primarily due to tax benefits associated with dividends received deduction, non-controlling interest, reclassifications from AOCI to income from operations related to the disposal of available-for-sale securities, tax adjustments related to prior year returns including interest, and excess tax benefits related to share based compensation payments recorded through the income statement. These tax benefits were partially offset by tax charges associated with increase in U.S. federal and state valuation allowance and state and local income taxes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the effective tax rate on income from operations was
18.6
%. The effective tax rate on income from operations differs from the statutory tax rate of
21
% primarily due to tax benefits associated with dividends received deduction, excess tax benefits related to share based compensation payments recorded through the income statement, adjustments to deferred tax assets, tax adjustments related to prior year returns including interest, and reclassifications from AOCI to income from operations related to the disposal of available-for-sale securities. These tax benefits were partially offset by the net establishment of additional U.S. federal and foreign valuation allowance and tax charges associated with state and local income taxes.
ASSESSMENT OF DEFERRED TAX ASSET VALUATION ALLOWANCE
The evaluation of the recoverability of our deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance requires us to weigh all positive and negative evidence to reach a conclusion that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists, the more positive evidence is necessary and the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed.

19. Income Taxes
Recent events, including multiple changes in target interest rates by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and significant market volatility, impacted actual and projected results of our business operations as well as our views on potential effectiveness of certain prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In order to demonstrate the predictability and sufficiency of future taxable income necessary to support the realizability of the net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards, we have considered forecasts of future income for each of our businesses, including assumptions about future macroeconomic and Corebridge-specific conditions and events, and any impact these conditions and events may have on our prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
Estimates of future taxable income, including income generated from prudent and feasible actions and tax planning strategies, impact of settlements with taxing authorities, and any changes to interpretations and assumptions related to the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act or the Tax Act, could change in the near term, perhaps materially, which may require us to consider any potential impact to our assessment of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset. Such potential impact could be material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations for an individual reporting period. As discussed above, during the five-year waiting period following the IPO, the AGC Group will file separately from the Non-Life Group as members of the AGC consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Each separate U.S. federal tax filing group or separate U.S. tax filer is required to consider this five-year waiting period when assessing realization of their respective deferred tax assets including net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Our separation from AIG resulted in an “ownership change” for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 382 of the Code. As a result of the ownership change, a limitation has been imposed upon the utilization of our U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and certain built-in losses and deductions to offset future taxable income. Our utilization is limited to approximately $
648
million per year. These limitation amounts accumulate for future use to the extent they are not utilized in a given year during the five-year period following the ownership change. We consider the limitation when assessing realization of our deferred tax assets, and if we believe that deferred tax assets consisting of the pre-ownership change net operating losses and other built-in losses and deductions are no longer more-likely-than-not to be realized, a valuation allowance will be provided.
Based on management’s analysis, as of March 31, 2025, we have a U.S. federal valuation allowance of $
1.5
billion, of which $
159
million is related to NOLs and $
1.3
billion ($
1.2
billion reflected in AOCI) is related to realized and unrealized capital losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded an increase in valuation allowance of $
8
million related to NOLs and net $
42
million related to investment losses recorded through OCI.
TAX EXAMINATIONS AND LITIGATION
Corebridge Parent and certain U.S. subsidiaries are included in a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with AIG through the date of IPO (short-period tax year 2022), and income tax expense is recorded, based on applicable U.S. and foreign laws.
The AIG Consolidated Tax Group is currently under IRS examination for the tax years 2011 through 2019 and is continuing to engage in the appeals process for years 2007 through 2010.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We may enter into a significant number of transactions with related parties in the normal course of business. Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operating decisions, or if a party, directly or indirectly through one or more of its intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with an entity. Our material transactions with related parties are described below.
Related Party Transactions with AIG
We have historically entered into various transactions with AIG, some of which are continuing and are described below. In addition, on September 14, 2022, we entered into a Separation Agreement with AIG, which governs the relationship between AIG and us following the IPO, including matters related to the allocation of assets and liabilities between the parties, indemnification obligations, our corporate governance, information rights for each party and consent rights of AIG with respect to certain business activities that we may undertake. On May 16, 2024, in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement with AIG Parent and Nippon, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Separation Agreement, by and between the Company and AIG Parent, pursuant to which the Company and AIG Parent agreed to certain changes with respect to AIG’s board designation rights and AIG’s right to consent over certain actions by the Company, as set forth in the original Separation Agreement. Additionally, on June 9, 2024, AIG Parent waived its right under the Separation Agreement to include a majority of the director candidates on each slate of candidates recommended by the Corebridge Board of Directors.

For further information on the Nippon Transaction, the Separation Agreement and the amendment and waiver thereto, see Note 1
in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Advisory Transactions
Certain of our investment management subsidiaries provide advisory, management, allocation, structuring, planning, oversight, administration and similar services (collectively, “Investment Services”) with respect to the investment portfolios of AIG. Investment Services are provided primarily pursuant to investment management, investment advisory and similar agreements (“IMAs”), under which our subsidiaries are appointed as investment manager and are authorized to manage client investment portfolios on a fully discretionary basis, subject to agreed investment guidelines. Certain of our subsidiaries are also authorized under the IMAs to retain, oversee and direct third-party investment advisers and managers for and on behalf of these AIG clients. In some cases, Investment Services are provided through the clients’ participation in private investment funds and other pooled investment vehicles and investment products (collectively, “Funds”) sponsored or managed by us.
With respect to a minority of the AIG client portfolios, which relate to assets backing risks that have been transferred to third parties, our subsidiaries earn market-based fees. Management and advisory fee income for these Investment Services and related services reflected in Other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) were
$
2
million
and
$
7
million
for the
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Capital Markets Agreements
Historically, we received a suite of capital markets services, including securities lending, collateral management, repurchase transactions, derivatives execution and support, and operational support services, from AIG Markets, Inc. (“AIGM”), a subsidiary of AIG, for which we paid a fee. AIGM provided these services through various services agreements.
The suite of capital markets services previously provided by AIGM are now provided by our consolidated subsidiary Corebridge Markets, LLC (“CRBGM”).
In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we previously entered into over-the-counter derivative transactions with AIGM under standard ISDA Master Agreements. The majority of transactions previously outstanding with AIGM were legally transferred to CRBGM as of December 31, 2023.
For further details regarding derivatives, see Note 9.
General Services Agreements
Pursuant to the provisions of a Service and Expense Agreement (the “AIG Service and Expense Agreement”) effective February 1, 1974, as amended, we and AIG have provided various services to each other at cost, including, but not limited to, advertising, accounting, actuarial, tax, legal, data processing, claims adjustment, employee cafeteria, office space, payroll, information technology services, capital markets services, services that support financial transactions and budgeting, risk management and compliance services, human resources services, insurance, operations and other support services.
On September 14, 2022, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”) with AIG regarding the continued provision of services between the Company and AIG on a transitional basis. The TSA has generally replaced the AIG Service and Expense Agreement for services provided between the parties.
Total amounts due and expenses under these agreements were immaterial as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Reinsurance Transactions
From time to time, AIG Life U.K. entered into various coinsurance agreements with American International Reinsurance Company, Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of AIG (“AIRCO”). On April 8, 2024, Corebridge completed the sale of AIG Life U.K. to Aviva and AIG Life U.K. terminated its reinsurance agreements with AIRCO.
Ceded premiums related to these agreements were
$
9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Guarantees
Prior to the IPO, AIG provided certain guarantees to us. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, we will indemnify, defend and hold harmless AIG against or from any liability arising from or related to such guarantees.
For further details regarding guarantees previously provided by AIG, see Note 16.
Tax Sharing Agreements
On September 14, 2022, we entered into a tax matters agreement with AIG that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations with respect to taxes, including the allocation of current and historic tax liabilities (whether income or non-income consolidated or stand-alone) between us and AIG (the “Tax Matters Agreement”). The Tax Matters Agreement governs, among other things, procedural matters, such as filing of tax returns, tax elections, control and settlement of tax controversies and entitlement to tax refunds and tax attributes.

Executive Summary
OVERVIEW
We are one of the largest providers of retirement solutions and insurance products in the United States, committed to helping individuals plan, save for and achieve secure financial futures. We offer a broad set of products and services through our market leading Individual Retirement, Group Retirement, Life Insurance and Institutional Markets businesses, each of which features capabilities and industry experience we believe are difficult to replicate. These four businesses collectively seek to enhance stockholder returns while maintaining our attractive risk profile, which has historically resulted in consistent and strong cash flow generation.
REVENUES
Our revenues come from five principal sources:
•
Premiums
are principally derived from our traditional life insurance and certain annuity products including PRT transactions and structured settlements with life contingencies. Our premium income is driven by growth in new policies and contracts written and persistency of our in-force policies, both of which are influenced by a combination of factors including our efforts to attract and retain customers and market conditions that influence demand for our products;
•
Policy fees
are principally derived from our individual retirement, group retirement, universal life insurance, Corporate Markets and SVW products. Our policy fees typically vary directly with the underlying account value or benefit base of our annuities. Account value and benefit base are influenced by changes in economic conditions, including changes in levels of equity prices, and changes in levels of interest rates and credit spreads, as well as net flows;
•
Net investment income
from our investment portfolio varies as a result of the yield, allocation and size of our investment portfolio, which are, in turn, a function of capital market conditions and net flows into our total investments, as well as the expenses associated with managing our investment portfolio;
•
Net realized gains (losses), net
include changes in the Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative, risk management related derivative activities (excluding hedges of certain MRBs), changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives in certain of our insurance products and trading activity within our investment portfolio, including trading activity related to the Fortitude Re modco arrangement. Net realized gains (losses) vary due to the timing of sales of investments as well as changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives in certain of our insurance products and derivatives utilized to hedge certain embedded derivatives; and
•
Advisory fee income and other income
includes fees from registered investment advisory services, 12b-1 fees (marketing and distribution fees paid by mutual funds), other asset management fee income and commission-based broker-dealer services.
BENEFITS AND EXPENSES
Our benefits and expenses come from six principal sources:
•
Policyholder benefits
are driven primarily by customer withdrawals and surrenders from traditional products which change in response to changes in capital market conditions and changes in policy reserves, as well as life contingent benefit payments on life and annuity contracts and updates to assumptions related to future policyholder behavior, mortality and longevity;
•
Interest credited to policyholder account balances
varies in relation to the amount of the underlying account value or benefit base and also includes changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives related to our insurance products and amortization of deferred sales inducement assets;
•
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) and value of business acquired (“VOBA”)
for all contracts except for other investment contracts is amortized, on a constant level basis over the expected term of the related contracts, using assumptions consistent with those used in estimating the related liability for future policy benefits, or any other related balances, for those corresponding contracts, as applicable. VOBA is determined at the time of acquisition and is reported with DAC. This value is based on the present value of future pre-tax profits discounted at yields applicable at the time of purchase;
•
General operating expenses
include expenses associated with conducting our business, including salaries, other employee-related compensation and other operating expenses such as professional services or travel;
•
Change in the fair value of market risk benefits, net
represents the changes in fair value of MRBs contained within certain insurance contracts (excluding the impact of changes in our own credit risk), including attributed fees, along with the changes in the fair value of derivatives that economically hedge MRBs. Changes in our own credit risk are included in OCI; and

Executive Summary
•
Interest expense
represents the charges associated with our external debt obligations, including debt of consolidated investment entities. This expense varies based on the amount of debt on our balance sheet, as well as the rates of interest associated with those obligations. Interest expense related to consolidated investment entities principally relates to variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are the primary beneficiary; however, creditors or beneficial interest holders of VIEs generally only have recourse to the assets and cash flows of the VIEs and do not have recourse to us except in limited circumstances when we have provided a guarantee to the VIE’s interest holders.
SIGNIFICANT FACTORS IMPACTING OUR RESULTS
The following significant factors have impacted, and may in the future impact, our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Impact of Fortitude Re
In 2018, AIG established Fortitude Re, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortitude Group Holdings, LLC (“Fortitude Holdings”), in a series of reinsurance transactions related to certain of AIG’s legacy operations. In February 2018, AGL, VALIC and USL entered into modco agreements with Fortitude Re, a registered Class 4 and Class E reinsurer in Bermuda.
Following the sale of AIG’s majority ownership interest in Fortitude Holdings, AIG contributed its remaining ownership in Fortitude Re Bermuda and its one seat on its Board of Managers to us.
As of March 31, 2025, our ownership interest in Fortitude Re was 2.46%.
In the modco arrangement, the investments supporting the reinsurance agreements, which reflect the majority of the consideration that would be paid to the reinsurer for entering into the transaction, are withheld by, and therefore continue to reside on the balance sheet of, the ceding company (i.e., AGL, VALIC and USL) thereby creating an obligation for the ceding company to pay the reinsurer (i.e., Fortitude Re) at a later date. Additionally, since we maintain ownership of these investments, we reflect our existing accounting for these assets, which consist primarily of available-for-sale securities (e.g., the changes in fair value of available-for-sale securities are recognized within OCI) on our balance sheet. We have established a funds withheld payable to Fortitude Re while simultaneously establishing a reinsurance asset representing liabilities for the insurance coverage that Fortitude Re has assumed. The funds withheld payable contains an embedded derivative and changes in fair value of this derivative are recognized in Net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative. This embedded derivative is considered a total return swap with contractual returns that are attributable to various assets, primarily available-for-sale securities, associated with these reinsurance agreements. As the majority of the invested assets supporting the modco are fixed income securities that are available-for-sale, there is a mismatch between the accounting for the embedded derivative as its changes in fair value are recorded through net income while changes in the fair value of the fixed maturity securities available-for-sale are recorded through OCI.
Our net income experiences ongoing volatility as a result of the reinsurance agreements, which, as described above, give rise to a funds withheld payable that contains an embedded derivative. However, this net income volatility is almost entirely offset with a corresponding change in OCI, which reflects the fair value change from the investment portfolio supporting the funds withheld payable, which is primarily available-for-sale securities, resulting in minimal impact to our comprehensive income (loss) and equity attributable to Corebridge. The Company has also elected the fair value option on the acquisition of certain new fixed maturity securities, helping reduce the mismatch over time. VALIC’s modco agreement with Fortitude Re was recaptured effective January 1, 2025, resulting in a $45 million charge to pre-tax earnings. As of March 31, 2025, $24.6 billion of reserves had been ceded to Fortitude Re.
For additional information on our reinsurance agreements with Fortitude Re, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impact of Variable Annuity Guaranteed Benefit Riders and Hedging
Our Individual Retirement and Group Retirement businesses offer variable annuity products with riders that provide guaranteed benefits. The liabilities are accounted for as MRBs and measured at fair value. The fair value of the MRBs may fluctuate significantly based on market interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads, market volatility, policyholder behavior and other factors.
In addition to risk-mitigating features in our variable annuity product design, we have an economic hedging program designed to manage market risk from GMWBs, including exposures to changes in interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads and volatility. The hedging program includes all in-force GMWB policies and utilizes derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, equity options, futures contracts and interest rate swap and option contracts, as well as fixed maturity securities.
For additional information regarding Corebridge’s impact of Variable Annuity Guaranteed Benefit Riders and Hedging, see “Future Policy Benefits, Policyholder Contract Deposits and Market Risk Benefits and Update of Actuarial Assumptions and Models — Variable Annuity Guaranteed Benefits and Hedging Results.”

Executive Summary
Embedded Derivatives for Fixed Index Annuity, Registered Index-Linked Annuity and Index Universal Life Products
Fixed index annuity and registered index-linked annuity contracts contain index interest credits which are accounted for as embedded derivatives and our index universal life insurance products also contain embedded derivatives. In contrast to fixed index annuity contracts, registered index-linked annuity contract owners also accept limited exposure to negative index interest credits in return for higher potential positive index credits. Policyholders may elect to rebalance among the various crediting strategies within the product at specified renewal dates. At the end of each index term, we generally have the opportunity to re-price the index component by establishing different participation rates or caps on index credited rates. The index crediting feature of these products results in the recognition of an embedded derivative that is required to be bifurcated from the host contract and carried at fair value with changes in the fair value of the liabilities recorded in Net realized gains (losses). Option pricing models are used to estimate fair value, taking into account assumptions for future index growth rates, volatility of the index, future interest rates and our ability to adjust the participation rate and the cap on index credited rates in light of market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the embedded derivatives for fixed index annuity, registered index-linked annuity and index universal life products:

Our Investment Management Agreements with BlackRock
Since April 2022, we entered into investment management agreements with BlackRock and its investment advisory affiliates. As of March 31, 2025, BlackRock managed approximately $87.2 billion in book value of assets in our investment portfolio, consisting of liquid fixed income and certain private placement assets.

COREBRIDGE’S MACROECONOMIC, INDUSTRY AND REGULATORY TRENDS
Our business is affected by industry and economic factors such as changes in interest rates and credit spreads; geopolitical tensions (including the
ongoing armed conflicts
between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East
); credit and equity market conditions; currency exchange rates; regulation; tax policy; competition; and general economic, market and political conditions. We continued to operate under market conditions in 2025 and 2024 characterized by factors such as higher interest rates, inflationary pressures, an uneven global economic recovery and global trade tensions. Responses by central banks and monetary authorities with respect to inflation, growth concerns and other macroeconomic factors have also affected global exchange rates and volatility.

ITEM 2 |
Executive Summary
Below is a discussion of certain industry and economic factors impacting our business:
Equity Markets
Our financial results are impacted by the performance of equity markets, which impacts the performance of our alternative investment portfolio, fee income, MRBs and embedded derivatives. For instance, in our variable annuity separate accounts, mutual fund assets and brokerage and advisory assets, we generally earn fee income based on the account value, which fluctuates with the equity markets as a significant amount of these assets are invested in equity funds. The impact of equity market returns, both increases and decreases, is reflected in our results due to the impact on the account value and the fair values of equity-exposed securities in our investment portfolio.
Our hedging costs could also be significantly impacted by changes in the level of equity markets as rebalancing and option costs are tied to the equity market volatility. These hedging costs are partially offset by our rider fees that are tied to the level of the volatility index (“VIX”). As rebalancing and option costs increase or decrease, the rider fees will increase or decrease partially offsetting the hedging costs incurred.
For additional information see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Market Conditions—We are exposed to risk from equity market declines or volatility” in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Market and other economic factors may result in increased credit impairments, downgrades and losses across single or numerous asset classes due to lower collateral values or deteriorating cash flow and profitability by borrowers could lead to higher defaults on our investment portfolio, especially in geographic, industry or investment sectors where we have higher concentrations of exposure, such as real estate related borrowings. These factors can also cause widening of credit spreads which could reduce investment asset valuations, decrease fee income and increase statutory capital requirements, as well as reduce the availability of investments that are attractive from a risk-adjusted perspective.
For additional information see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Market Conditions—Our business is highly dependent on economic and capital market conditions” in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Alternative investments include private equity funds which are generally reported on a one-quarter lag. Accordingly, changes in valuations driven by equity market conditions during the first quarter of 2025 may impact the private equity investments in the alternative investments portfolio in the second quarter of 2025.
Impact of Changes in the Interest Rate Environment
A rising interest rate environment benefits our spread income as we reinvest cash flows from existing business at higher rates and should have a positive impact on sales of spread-based products.
As of March 31, 2025, new investments continue to have higher yields than the yield on maturities and redemptions that we are experiencing in our existing portfolios. We actively manage our exposure to the interest rate environment through portfolio construction and asset-liability management, including spread management strategies for our investment-oriented products and economic hedging of interest rate risk from guarantee features in our variable annuities, but we may not be able to fully mitigate our interest rate risk by matching exposure of our assets relative to our liabilities.
Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes to certain statutory reserve or capital requirements that are based on formulas or models that consider interest rates or prescribed interest rates, such as cash flow testing. Rising interest rates can have a mixed impact on statutory financials due to higher surrender activity, particularly for fixed annuities, offset by potentially lower reserves for other products under various statutory reserving frameworks.
Annuity Sales and Surrenders
Rising interest rates could create the potential for increased sales but could also drive higher surrenders relative to what we have historically experienced. Fixed annuities have surrender charge periods, generally in the three-to-seven-year range. Fixed index annuities have surrender charge periods, generally in the five-to-ten-year range, and within our Group Retirement segment, certain of our fixed investment options are subject to other withdrawal restrictions, which may help mitigate increased early surrenders in a rising rate environment. In addition, older contracts that have higher minimum interest rates and continue to be attractive to contract holders have driven better than expected persistency in fixed annuities, although the liabilities for such contracts have continued to decrease over time in amount and as a percentage of the total annuity portfolio. We closely monitor surrenders of fixed annuities as contracts with lower minimum interest rates come out of the surrender charge period.
Reinvestment and Spread Management
We actively monitor fixed income markets, including the level of interest rates, credit spreads and the shape of the yield curve. We also frequently review our interest rate assumptions and actively manage the crediting rates used for new and in-force business. Business strategies continue to evolve and we attempt to maintain profitability of the overall business in light of the interest rate environment. A rising interest rate environment results in improved yields on new investments and improves margins for our business while also making certain products, such as fixed annuities, more attractive to potential customers. However, the rising rate environment has resulted in lower values on general and separate account assets, mutual fund assets and brokerage and advisory assets that hold investments in fixed income assets.

For investment-oriented products, including universal life insurance, and variable, fixed, fixed index and registered index-linked annuities in each of our operating and reportable segments, our spread management strategies include disciplined pricing and product design for new business, modifying or limiting the sale of products that do not achieve targeted spreads, using asset-liability management to match assets to liabilities to the extent practicable and actively managing crediting rates to help mitigate some of the pressure on investment spreads. Renewal crediting rate management is guided by specific contract provisions designed to allow crediting rates to be reset at pre-established intervals and subject to minimum crediting rate guarantees. We expect to continue to adjust crediting rates on in-force business, as appropriate, to be responsive to changing rate environments. As interest rates rise, we may need to raise crediting rates on in-force business for competitive and other reasons, potentially offsetting a portion of the additional investment income resulting from investing in a higher interest rate environment.
Of the aggregate fixed account values of our Individual Retirement and Group Retirement annuity products, 46% and 47% were crediting at the contractual minimum guaranteed interest rate at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In the universal life insurance products in our Life Insurance business, 59% and 59% of the account values were crediting at the contractual minimum guaranteed interest rate at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These businesses continue to focus on pricing discipline and strategies to manage the minimum guaranteed interest crediting rates offered on new sales in the context of regulatory requirements and competitive positioning.
For additional information on our investment and asset-liability management strategies, see “Investments” below.
Regulatory Environment
The insurance and financial services industries are generally subject to close regulatory scrutiny and supervision. Our operations are subject to regulation by a number of different types of domestic and international regulatory authorities, including securities, derivatives and investment advisory regulators. Our insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulation and supervision by the states and jurisdictions in which they do business.
We expect that the domestic and international regulations applicable to us and our regulated entities will continue to evolve for the foreseeable future.
For example, on March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted final rules that require registrants, including Corebridge, to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. Numerous legal challenges were filed after the rule’s adoption, which lawsuits have been consolidated in the Eighth Circuit. On April 4, 2024, the SEC exercised its discretion to stay the final rules pending completion of judicial review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Corebridge is evaluating the potential impacts of these new requirements. On March 27, 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the final rules. However, if these requirements are implemented following completion of judicial review or otherwise, they may increase the complexity of Corebridge’s periodic reporting as a U.S. public company and are expected to result in additional compliance and reporting costs.
In addition, on April 25, 2024, the Department of Labor (“DOL”) published a final rule in the Federal Register updating the definition for when a person is an “investment advice fiduciary” for purposes of transactions with ERISA qualified plans, related plan participants and IRAs. The DOL also published changes with respect to existing prohibited transactions exemptions (“PTEs”) relating to such advice, including PTE 84-24 and PTE 2020-02. Orders staying the rule’s September 23, 2024 effective date were issued by the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern District of Texas and the Northern District of Texas on July 25, 2024 and July 26, 2024, respectively, in connection with separate lawsuits challenging the rule. On December 20, 2024, DOL filed a consolidated opening brief, appealing these two orders to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Since filing this appeal, DOL has asked the Fifth Circuit to hold the case in abeyance on two occasions. The matter is currently stayed until June 16, 2025. We are actively monitoring the progress of the litigation while continuing to evaluate potential impact of the DOL rule to our business.
In February 2025, the NAIC announced the creation of a new Risk-Based Capital Model Governance (EX) Task Force as part of its efforts to update and strengthen the governance framework around risk-based capital requirements. The task force will consider changes to risk-based capital formulas used by insurance companies as a measure of solvency and conduct a gap-analysis to identify areas for improvement. The work of the task force is ongoing and could result in changes to risk-based capital requirements and calculations in the future, which could affect our capital planning, investment strategies and reporting obligations. We are actively monitoring developments associated with this NAIC initiative and its potential impacts on our life insurance subsidiaries.
In March 2025, the NAIC exposed for comment proposed updates to actuarial guidelines intended to enhance asset adequacy analysis for asset-intensive, life insurance and annuity reinsurance treaties above certain thresholds. Specifically, the proposal would require the use of cash flow testing methodology in evaluating the adequacy of assets supporting ceded reserves. The updated actuarial guidelines will initially be designed as a testing and disclosure regime, but such disclosure could be used by regulators in their supervision of insurance companies. If approved, certain disclosure requirements are expected to be in effect for year-end 2025. In addition, the NAIC plans to review the disclosures following adoption of the guidelines to identify concerns with insurers’ approaches to asset adequacy testing, with the possibility of making additional changes that could lead to higher reserves for certain reinsurance agreements. We are actively monitoring developments associated with this NAIC initiative, which may be applicable to certain transactions that involve our life insurance subsidiaries acting as cedants.
For information regarding our regulation and supervision by different regulatory authorities in the United States and abroad, see “Business—Regulation—U.S. Regulation” and “Business—Regulation—International Regulation” in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Throughout this MD&A, we present our financial condition and results of operations in the way we believe will be most meaningful and representative of our business results. Some of the measurements we use are “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules and regulations. We believe presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures allows for a deeper understanding of the profitability drivers of our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results of operations and financial condition that are presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures for future periods are not provided as we do not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliations.
Adjusted revenues
exclude Net realized gains (losses) except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments, income from non-operating litigation settlements (included in Other income for GAAP purposes) and changes in fair value of securities used to hedge guaranteed living benefits (included in Net investment income for GAAP purposes).

Represents all Net realized gains and losses except gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments and earned income (periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedging or for asset replication. Earned income for non-qualifying (economic) hedging or for asset replication is reclassified from Net realized gains and losses to specific APTOI line items (e.g., net investment income and interest credited to policyholder account balances) based on the economic risk being hedged.
Adjusted pre-tax operating income (“APTOI”)
is derived by excluding the items set forth below from income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit). These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and recording adjustments to APTOI that we believe to be common in our industry. We believe the adjustments to pre-tax income are useful for gaining an understanding of our overall results of operations.
APTOI excludes the impact of the following items:
FORTITUDE RE RELATED ADJUSTMENTS:
The modified coinsurance (“modco”) reinsurance agreements with Fortitude Re transfer the economics of the invested assets supporting the reinsurance agreements to Fortitude Re. Accordingly, the net investment income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and the net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets are excluded from APTOI. Similarly, changes in the Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative are also excluded from APTOI.
The ongoing results associated with the reinsurance agreement with Fortitude Re have been excluded from APTOI as these are not indicative of our ongoing business operations.

INVESTMENT RELATED ADJUSTMENTS:
APTOI excludes “Net realized gains (losses)”, except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments. Net realized gains (losses), except for gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments, are excluded as the timing of sales on invested assets or changes in allowances depend largely on market credit cycles and can vary considerably across periods. In addition, changes in interest rates may create opportunistic scenarios to buy or sell invested assets. Our derivative results, including those used to economically hedge insurance liabilities, or those recognized as embedded derivatives at fair value, are also included in Net realized gains (losses) and are similarly excluded from APTOI except earned income (periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedges or for asset replication. Earned income on such economic hedges is reclassified from Net realized gains and losses to specific APTOI line items based on the economic risk being hedged (e.g., Net investment income and Interest credited to policyholder account balances).
MARKET RISK BENEFIT ADJUSTMENTS:
Certain of our variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity contracts contain GMWBs and/or GMDBs which are accounted for as MRBs. Changes in the fair value of these MRBs (excluding changes related to our own credit risk), including certain rider fees attributed to the MRBs, along with changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge MRBs are recorded through “Change in the fair value of MRBs, net” and are excluded from APTOI.
Changes in the fair value of securities used to economically hedge MRBs are excluded from APTOI.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:
Other adjustments represent all other adjustments that are excluded from APTOI and includes the net pre-tax operating income (losses) from noncontrolling interests related to consolidated investment entities. The excluded adjustments include, as applicable:
•
restructuring and other costs related to initiatives designed to reduce operating expenses, improve efficiency and simplify our organization;
•
non-recurring costs associated with the implementation of non-ordinary course legal or regulatory changes or changes to accounting principles;
•
separation costs;
•
non-operating litigation reserves and settlements;
•
loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, if any;
•
losses from the impairment of goodwill, if any; and
•
income and loss from divested or run-off business, if any.
Adjusted after-tax operating income attributable to our common shareholders (“Adjusted After-tax Operating Income” or “AATOI”)
is derived by excluding the tax effected APTOI adjustments described above, as well as the following tax items from net income attributable to us:
•
reclassifications of disproportionate tax effects from AOCI, changes in uncertain tax positions and other tax items related to legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; and
•
deferred income tax valuation allowance releases and charges.

Additionally, gains (losses) related to the disposition of real estate investments are also excluded from this adjustment.
Adjusted Book Value
is derived by excluding AOCI, adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re’s funds withheld assets. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio for which there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities that are not recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through OCI. It also eliminates asymmetrical impacts where our own credit non-performance risk is recorded through OCI. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re’s funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re.

Adjusted Return on Average Equity (“Adjusted ROAE”)
is derived by dividing AATOI by average Adjusted Book Value and is used by management to evaluate our recurring profitability and evaluate trends in our business. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio for which there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities that are not recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through OCI. It also eliminates asymmetrical impacts where our own credit non-performance risk is recorded through OCI.

Fee and Spread income and Underwriting Margin
Fee income
is defined as policy fees plus advisory fees plus other fee income. For our Institutional Markets segment, its SVW products generate fee income.
Spread income
is defined as net investment income less interest credited to policyholder account balances, exclusive of amortization of deferred sales inducement assets. Spread income is comprised of both base spread income and variable investment income. For our Institutional Markets segment, its structured settlements, PRT and GIC products generate spread income, which includes premiums, net investment income, less interest credited and policyholder benefits and excludes the annual assumption update.
Underwriting margin
for our Life Insurance segment includes premiums, policy fees, other income, net investment income, less interest credited to policyholder account balances and policyholder benefits and excludes the annual assumption update. For our Institutional Markets segment, its Corporate Markets products generate underwriting margin, which includes premiums, net investment income, policy and advisory fee income, less interest credited and policyholder benefits and excludes the annual assumption update.
Base portfolio income
includes interest, dividends and foreclosed real estate income, net of investment expenses and non-qualifying (economic) hedges.
Variable investment income
includes call and tender income from make-whole payments on commercial mortgage loan prepayments, changes in market value of investments accounted for under the fair value option, interest received on defaulted investments (other than foreclosed real estate), income from alternative investments and other miscellaneous investment income, including income of certain partnership entities that are required to be consolidated. Alternative investments include private equity funds which are generally reported on a one-quarter lag.
Base spread income
means base portfolio income less interest credited to policyholder account balances, excluding the amortization of deferred sales inducement assets.
Base net investment spread
means base yield less cost of funds, excluding the amortization of deferred sales inducement assets.
Base yield
means the returns from base portfolio income including accretion and impacts from holding cash and short-term investments.

Financial Highlights
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Net Income Comparison
We recorded a pre-tax loss of $862 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to pre-tax income of $1.0 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in pre-tax income was primarily due to:
•
lower premiums of $1.4 billion primarily on new pension risk transfer business;
•
higher net realized losses of $1.1 billion primarily driven by higher losses on the Fortitude Re balances, losses from derivatives and index-linked interest credited embedded derivatives, net of related hedges;
•
unfavorable change in the fair value of market risk benefits, net of $754 million primarily driven by the impacts of relative changes in interest rates and lower equity market performance compared to the comparable period in the prior year; and
•
higher interest credited to policyholder account balances of $218 million primarily due to higher interest rates and higher sales activity in fixed and fixed index annuities and higher interest rates on the growing GIC business.
Corebridge
| First Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

Partially offset by:
•
lower policyholder benefits of $1.4 billion primarily on new pension risk transfer business; and
•
higher net investment income of $265 million primarily driven by higher base portfolio income and higher variable investment income.
Income tax expense (benefit)
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was an income tax benefit of $205 million on loss from operations, resulting in an effective tax rate on income from operations of 23.8%.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 APTOI Comparison
APTOI decreased $27 million, primarily due to:
•
lower premiums of $1.4 billion primarily on new pension risk transfer business;
•
higher interest credited to policyholder account balances of $217 million primarily due to higher interest rates and higher sales activity in fixed and fixed index annuities and higher interest rates on the growing GIC business; and
•
higher income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $58 million.
Partially offset by:
•
lower policyholder benefits of $1.4 billion primarily on new pension risk transfer business; and
•
higher net investment income of $279 million primarily driven by higher base portfolio income partially offset by lower variable investment income.

Financial Highlights
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 APTOI Comparison
APTOI decreased $68 million, primarily due to:
•
lower spread income of $15 million driven by non-recurring items in 2024 and changes in short-term interest rates partially offset by higher income from alternative investments;
•
higher non-deferrable insurance commissions of $16 million primarily due to continued growth in the fixed index annuity business;
•
higher amortization of DAC and DSI of $14 million due to growth in fixed and fixed index annuity business and higher interest rates; and
•
higher general operating expenses of $12 million.

AUMA increased $316 million driven by an increase of $2.7 billion in the general account, offset by lower separate accounts asset values of $2.4 billion. The general account increased primarily due to positive general account net flows and lower interest rates resulting in unrealized gains from fixed maturities securities.

Business Segment Operations
Individual Retirement annuities are typically subject to a three- to ten-year surrender charge period, depending on the product. For fixed annuities, the proportion of account value subject to surrender charge at March 31, 2025 increased compared to December 31, 2024 primarily due to growth in the business. For fixed index annuities and registered index-linked annuities, the proportion of account value subject to surrender charge at March 31, 2025 was slightly lower compared to December 31, 2024 due to the aging of the business. The proportion of account value with no surrender charge for variable annuities as of March 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 was mostly flat.

Premiums and Deposits and Net Flows
For Group Retirement, premiums primarily represent amounts received on life-contingent payout annuities while deposits represent sales on investment-oriented products.

In addition, for annuity assets held within an employer defined contribution plan, participants can only withdraw funds in certain circumstances without incurring tax penalties (for example, separation from service), regardless of surrender charges. At March 31, 2025, Group Retirement annuity account values with no surrender charge decreased compared to December 31, 2024 primarily due to a decrease in assets under management from negative net flows and lower equity markets.

OVERVIEW
Our investment strategies are tailored to the specific business needs of each operating unit by targeting an asset allocation mix that supports estimated cash flows of our outstanding liabilities and provides diversification from asset class, sector, issuer and geographic perspectives. The primary objectives are generation of investment income, preservation of capital, liquidity management and growth of surplus. The majority of assets backing our insurance liabilities consist of fixed maturity securities, RMBS, CMBS, CLOs, other ABS and fixed maturity securities issued by government-sponsored entities and corporate entities. At March 31, 2025, of $223.1 billion of invested assets supporting our insurance operating companies, approximately 45% were in corporate debt securities. Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), ABS and CLOs represent 33% of our fixed income securities, and 99% were investment grade. At December 31, 2024, of $216.4 billion of invested assets supporting our insurance operating companies, approximately 45% were in corporate debt securities. MBS, ABS and CLOs represent 34% of our fixed income securities and 99% were investment grade.
See “Business - Investment Management” in the 2024 Form 10-K for further information, including current and future management of our investment portfolio.
Key Investment Strategies
Investment strategies are assessed at the segment level and involve considerations that include local and general market and economic conditions, duration and cash flow management, risk appetite and volatility constraints, rating agency and regulatory capital considerations, tax, regulatory and legal investment limitations, and, as applicable, environmental, social and governance considerations.
In 2021, we entered into a long-term asset management relationship with Blackstone IM. Blackstone IM initially managed $50 billion of our existing investment portfolio, with that amount to increase to an aggregate of $92.5 billion by the third quarter of 2027.
The investments underlying the original $50 billion mandate with Blackstone IM began to run-off in 2022 and are being reinvested over time.
As these assets run-off, we expect Blackstone to reinvest primarily in Blackstone-originated investments across a range of asset clas
ses, including private and structured credit, and commercial and residential real estate securitized and whole loans. Blackstone’s preferred credit and lending strategy is to seek to control all significant components of the underwriting and pricing processes with the goal of facilitating bespoke opportunities with historically strong credit protection and attractive risk-adjusted returns. Blackstone seeks to capture enhanced economics to those available in the traditional fixed income markets by going directly to the borrowers.
We believe that Blackstone’s ability to originate attractive and privately sourced, fixed-income oriented assets, is accretive to our businesses and provides us with an enhanced competitive advantage as we have been able to expand our investment capabilities, access new asset classes and improve our investment yields. We continue to manage asset allocation and portfolio-level risk management decisions with respect to any assets managed by Blackstone, ensuring that we maintain a consistent level of oversight across our entire investment portfolio considering our asset-liability matching needs, risk appetite and capital position.
As of March 31, 2025, Blackstone managed $69.7 billion in book value of assets in our investment portfolio.
Under the investment management agreements with BlackRock and its investment advisory affiliates, as of March 31, 2025, BlackRock managed approximately $87.2 billion in book value of assets in our investment portfolio, consisting of liquid fixed income and certain private placement assets. In addition, liquid fixed income assets associated with the Fortitude Re portfolio were separately transferred to BlackRock for management. The investment management agreements with BlackRock provide us with access to market-leading capabilities, including portfolio management, research and tactical strategies in addition to a larger pool of investment professionals. We believe BlackRock’s scale and fee structure make BlackRock an excellent outsourcing partner for certain asset classes and will allow us to further optimize our investment management operating model while improving overall performance. The investment management agreements contain detailed investment guidelines and reporting requirements.
Some of our key investment strategies are as follows:
•
our fundamental strategy across the portfolios is to seek investments with similar characteristics to the associated insurance liabilities to the extent practicable;
•
we seek to purchase investments that offer enhanced yield through illiquidity premiums, such as private placements and commercial mortgage and residential loans, which also add portfolio diversification. These assets typically afford credit protections through covenants, ability to customize structures that meet our insurance liability needs and deeper due diligence given information access;
•
we seek investments that provide diversification from assets available in local markets. To the extent we purchase these investments, we generally hedge any currency risk using derivatives, which could provide opportunities to earn higher risk-adjusted returns compared to investments in the functional currency;
Corebridge
| First Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q
100
ITEM 2 |
Investments
•
we actively manage our assets and liabilities, counterparties and duration. Our liquidity sources are held primarily in the form of cash, short-term investments and publicly traded, investment grade rated fixed maturity securities that can be readily monetized through sales or repurchase agreements. Certain of our subsidiaries are members of the FHLBs in their respective districts, and we borrow from the FHLB utilizing its funding agreement program. Borrowings from FHLBs are used to supplement liquidity or for other uses deemed appropriate by management. This strategy allows us to both diversify our sources of liquidity and reduce the cost of maintaining sufficient liquidity;
•
within the United States, investments are generally split between reserve-backing and surplus portfolios:
–
insurance liabilities are backed mainly by investment grade fixed maturity securities that meet our duration, risk-return, tax liquidity, credit quality and diversification objectives. We assess asset classes based on their fundamental underlying risk factors, including credit (public and private), commercial real estate and residential real estate, regardless of whether such investments are bonds, loans or structured products; and
–
surplus investments seek to enhance portfolio returns and are generally comprised of a mix of fixed maturity investment grade and below investment grade securities and various alternative asset classes, including private equity, real estate equity and hedge funds. Over the past few years, hedge fund investments have been reduced; and
•
we also utilize derivatives to manage our asset and liability duration as well as currency exposures.
Asset-Liability Management
Our investment strategy is to invest in assets that generate net investment income to back policyholder benefit and deposit liabilities that result in stable distributable earnings and enhance portfolio value, subject to asset-liability management, capital, liquidity and regulatory constraints.
We use asset-liability management as a primary tool to monitor and manage interest rate and duration risk in our businesses. We maintain a diversified, high quality portfolio of fixed maturity securities issued by corporations, municipalities and other governmental agencies; structured securities collateralized by, among other assets, residential and commercial real estate; and commercial mortgage loans that, to the extent practicable, match the duration characteristics of the liabilities. We seek to diversify the portfolio across asset classes, sectors and issuers to mitigate idiosyncratic portfolio risks. The investment portfolio of each product line is tailored to the specific characteristics of its insurance liabilities, and as a result, duration varies between distinct portfolios. The interest rate environment has a direct impact on the asset liability management profile of the businesses, and changes in the interest rate environment may result in the need to lengthen or shorten the duration of the portfolio. In a rising rate environment, we may shorten the duration of the investment portfolio.
In addition, we seek to enhance surplus portfolio returns through investments in a diversified portfolio of alternative investments. Although these alternative investments are subject to earnings fluctuations, they have historically achieved accumulative returns over time in excess of the fixed maturity portfolio returns.

NAIC Designations of Fixed Maturity Securities
The Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) of the NAIC evaluates the investments of U.S. insurers for statutory reporting purposes and assigns fixed maturity securities to one of six categories called ‘NAIC Designations.’ In general, NAIC Designations of ‘1,’ highest quality, or ‘2,’ high quality, include fixed maturity securities considered investment grade, while NAIC Designations of ‘3’ through ‘6’ generally include fixed maturity securities referred to as below investment grade. NAIC Designations for non-agency RMBS and CMBS are calculated using third-party modeling results provided through the NAIC. These methodologies result in an improved NAIC Designation for such securities compared to the rating typically assigned by the three major rating agencies. The following tables summarize the ratings distribution of our subsidiaries’ fixed maturity security portfolio by NAIC Designation, and the distribution by composite our credit rating, which is generally based on ratings of the three major rating agencies. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 95% and 95%, respectively, of our fixed maturity security portfolio, excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets, were investment grade. The fixed maturity security portfolio of our insurance operating subsidiaries, excluding the Fortitude Re funds withheld assets, was 95% and 95% investment grade as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The remaining below investment grade securities that are not included in consolidated investment entities relate to middle market and high yield bank loans securities.

Change in Unrealized Gains and Losses on Investments
The change in net unrealized gains and losses on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to increase in the fair value of fixed maturity securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net unrealized gains were $2.0 billion primarily due to narrowing of credit spreads.
The change in net unrealized gains and losses on investments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to decreases in the fair value of fixed maturity securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net unrealized losses were $1.1 billion due to higher interest rates, partially offset by narrowing of credit spreads.

Derivative activity related to hedging MRBs is recorded in Change in the fair value of MRBs, net.
For additional disclosures about MRBs, see Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Higher net realized losses excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to same period in the prior period were due primarily to losses on derivatives and foreign exchange transactions in the current period compared to gains on derivatives and and foreign exchange transactions in the same period in the prior year.
Index-linked interest credited embedded derivatives, net of related hedges, reflected losses in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to gains in the same period in the prior period. Fair value gains or losses in the hedging portfolio are typically not fully offset by increases or decreases in liabilities due to the non-performance or “own credit” risk adjustment used in the valuation of index-linked interest credited embedded derivatives, which are not hedged as part of our economic hedging program, and other risk margins used for valuation that cause the embedded derivatives to be less sensitive to changes in market rates than the hedge portfolio.
Net realized gains (losses) on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets primarily reflect changes in the valuation of the modified coinsurance and funds withheld assets. Increases in the valuation of these assets result in losses to Corebridge as the appreciation on the assets under those reinsurance arrangements must be transferred to Fortitude Re. Decreases in valuation of the assets result in gains to Corebridge as the depreciation on the assets under those reinsurance agreements must be transferred to Fortitude Re.

Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
We use derivatives and other financial instruments as part of our financial risk management programs and as part of our investment operations. Interest rate derivatives (such as interest rate swaps) are used to manage interest rate risk associated with both embedded derivatives and MRBs contained in insurance contract liabilities and fixed maturity securities as well as other interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Foreign exchange derivatives (principally foreign exchange forwards and swaps) are used to economically mitigate risk associated with foreign denominated investments, net capital exposures and foreign currency transactions. Equity derivatives are used to mitigate financial risk embedded in certain insurance liabilities and economically hedge certain investments. We use credit derivatives to manage our credit exposures. The derivatives are effective economic hedges of the exposures that they are meant to offset. In addition to hedging activities, we also enter into derivative instruments with respect to investment operations, which may include, among other things, credit default swaps (“CDS”) and purchases of investments with embedded derivatives, such as equity linked notes and convertible bonds.
We designated certain derivatives entered into with related parties as fair value hedges of available-for-sale investment securities held by our insurance subsidiaries. The fair value hedges include foreign currency forwards and cross-currency swaps designated as hedges of the change in fair value of foreign currency denominated available-for-sale securities attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates. We also designated certain interest rate swaps entered into with both third parties and related parties as fair value hedges of fixed rate GICs and commercial mortgage loans attributable to changes in benchmark interest rates.
Credit risk associated with derivative counterparties exists for a derivative contract when that contract has a positive fair value to us. The maximum potential exposure may increase or decrease during the life of the derivative commitments as a function of maturity and market conditions. All derivative transactions must be transacted within counterparty limits.
We utilize various credit enhancements, including guarantees, collateral, credit triggers and margin agreements, to reduce the credit risk related to outstanding financial derivative transactions. We require credit enhancements in connection with specific transactions based on, among other things, the creditworthiness of the counterparties and the transaction size and maturity. Furthermore, we enter into certain agreements that have the benefit of set-off and close-out netting provisions, such as ISDA Master Agreements. These provisions provide that, in the case of an early termination of a transaction, we can set off receivables from a counterparty against payables to the same counterparty arising out of all covered transactions. As a result, where a legally enforceable netting agreement exists, the fair value of the transaction with the counterparty represents the net sum of estimated fair values.
For additional information on embedded derivatives, see Notes 4 and 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

VARIABLE ANNUITY GUARANTEED BENEFITS AND HEDGING RESULTS AND ACTUARIAL UPDATES
The following section provides discussion of our significant reinsurance agreements, variable annuity guaranteed benefits and hedging results and actuarial updates regarding our business segments.
Variable Annuity Guaranteed Benefits and Hedging Results
Our Individual Retirement and Group Retirement businesses offer variable annuity products with riders that provide guaranteed benefits. The liabilities are accounted for as MRBs and measured at fair value. The fair value of the MRBs may fluctuate significantly based on market interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads, market volatility, policyholder behavior and other factors.
In addition to risk-mitigating features in our variable annuity product design, we have an economic hedging program designed to manage market risk from GMWBs, including exposures to changes in interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads and volatility. The hedging program includes all in-force GMWB policies and utilizes derivative instruments, including but not limited to equity options, futures contracts and interest rate swap and option contracts, as well as fixed maturity securities.
For additional discussion of market risk management related to these product features, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Future Policy Benefits, Policyholder Contract Deposits and Market Risk Benefit
Differences in Valuation of MRBs and Economic Hedge Target
Our variable annuity hedging program utilizes an economic hedge target, which represents an estimate of the underlying economic risks in our GMWB riders. The economic hedge target differs from the GAAP valuation of the MRBs, creating volatility in our net income (loss) primarily due to the following:
•
the MRBs include both the GMWB riders and the GMDB riders while the hedge program is targeting the economic risks of just the GMWB rider;
•
the hedge program is designed to offset moves in the GMWB economic liability and therefore has a lower sensitivity to equity market changes than the MRBs;
•
the economic hedge target includes 100% of the GMWB rider fees in present value calculations;
•
the GAAP valuation reflects those fees attributed to the MRBs such that the initial value at contract issue equals zero. Since the MRB includes GMWBs and GMDBs these attributed fees are typically larger than just the GMWB rider fees;
•
the economic hedge target uses best estimate actuarial assumptions and excludes explicit risk margins used for GAAP valuation, such as margins for policyholder behavior, mortality and volatility; and
•
the economic hedge target excludes our own credit risk changes (NPAs) used in the GAAP valuation, which are recognized in OCI. The GAAP valuation has different sensitivities to movements in interest rates and other market factors, and to changes from actuarial assumption updates, than the economic hedge target.
For additional information on our valuation methodology for MRBs, see Note
4
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The market value of the hedge portfolio compared to the economic hedge target at any point in time may be different and is not expected to be fully offsetting. In addition to the derivatives held in conjunction with the variable annuity hedging program, we generally have cash and invested assets available to cover future claims payable under these guarantees. The primary sources of difference between the change in the fair value of the hedging portfolio and the economic hedge target include:
•
basis risk due to the variance between expected and actual fund returns, which may be either positive or negative;
•
realized volatility versus implied volatility;
•
actual versus expected changes in the hedge target driven by assumptions not subject to hedging, particularly policyholder behavior; and
•
risk exposures that we have elected not to explicitly or fully hedge.

Impact on Pre-tax Income (Loss)
The impact on our pre-tax income (loss) of variable annuity guaranteed benefits and related hedging results includes changes in the fair value of MRBs and changes in the fair value of related derivative hedging instruments, and along with attributed rider fees and net of benefits associated with MRBs are together recognized in Change in the fair value of market risk benefits, net, with the exception of NPA changes, which are recognized in OCI. Changes in the fair value of market risk benefits, net are excluded from APTOI of Individual Retirement and Group Retirement.
The change in the fair value of the MRBs and the change in the value of the hedging portfolio are not expected to be fully offsetting, primarily due to the differences in valuation between the economic hedge target, the GAAP MRBs and the fair value of the hedging portfolio, as discussed above. When corporate credit spreads widen, the change in the NPA spread generally reduces the fair value of the MRBs liabilities, resulting in a gain in AOCI, and when corporate credit spreads tighten, the change in the NPA spread generally increases the fair value of the MRBs liabilities, resulting in a loss in AOCI. In addition to changes driven by credit market-related movements in the NPA spread, the NPA balance also reflects changes in business activity and in the net amount at risk from the underlying guaranteed living benefits.

MRB Liability is partially offset by MRB Assets.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Net impact on pre-tax loss of $50 million was primarily driven by decreases in equity markets.
On an economic basis, the changes in the fair value of the hedge portfolio were partially offset by the changes in the economic hedge target. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net mark-to-market gain of approximately $121 million from our hedging activities related to our economic hedge target partially due to widening credit spreads and higher equity volatility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Capital Resources
OVERVIEW
Liquidity
is defined as cash and unencumbered assets that can be monetized in a short period of time at a reasonable cost. In addition to the on-balance-sheet liquid assets, liquidity resources include availability under committed bank credit facilities.
Capital
refers to the long-term financial resources available to support the operation of our businesses, fund business growth, and cover financial and operational needs that arise from adverse circumstances.
We aim to manage our liquidity and capital resources prudently through a well-defined risk management framework that involves various target operating thresholds, as well as minimum requirements during periods of stress.
We believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to satisfy future requirements and meet our obligations to policyholders, customers, creditors and debt-holders, including those arising from reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events.
For a discussion regarding risks associated with liquidity and capital,
see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Investment Portfolio, Liquidity, Capital and Credit” in the 2024 Form 10-K.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF COREBRIDGE PARENT AND INTERMEDIATE HOLDING COMPANIES
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Corebridge Parent and its non-regulated intermediate holding companies (“Corebridge Hold Cos.”) had $5.4 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively, in liquidity sources. These liquidity sources were primarily held in the form of cash and short-term investments and included a $3.0 billion
and
$2.5 billion
co
mmitted revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Corebridge Hold Cos.’ primary sources of liquidity are dividends, loans and other payments from subsidiaries, sales of businesses and credit facilities. Corebridge Hold Cos.’ primary uses of liquidity are for debt service, capital and liability management, and operating expenses.
Corebridge Parent expects to maintain liquidity that is sufficient to at least cover one year of its expenses. We expect that the Corebridge Hold Cos. may access the debt and equity markets from time to time to meet funding requirements as needed.
We utilize our capital resources to support our businesses, with the majority of capital held by our insurance businesses. Corebridge Hold Cos. intend to manage capital between Corebridge Hold Cos. and our insurance companies through internal, Board-approved policies as well as management standards. Nevertheless, regulatory and other legal restrictions could limit our ability to transfer capital freely, either to or from our subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2025, Corebridge Parent and certain of our subsidiaries were parties to several letter of credit agreements with various financial institutions which issue letters of credit from time to time in support of our insurance companies. Letters of credit issued in support of our subsidiaries (primarily, insurance companies) totaled $226 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF COREBRIDGE INSURANCE SUBSIDIARIES
Insurance Companies
We believe that our insurance companies have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to satisfy reasonably foreseeable future liquidity requirements and meet their obligations, including those arising from reasonably foreseeable contingencies or events, through cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, monetization of invested assets. Our insurance companies’ liquidity resources are primarily held in the form of cash, short-term investments and publicly traded, investment grade-rated fixed maturity securities.
The liquidity of each of our material insurance companies is monitored through various internal liquidity risk measures. The primary sources of liquidity are premiums, deposits, fees, reinsurance recoverables, investment income and maturities. The primary uses of liquidity are paid losses, reinsurance payments, benefit claims, surrenders, withdrawals, interest payments, dividends, expenses, investment purchases and collateral requirements.
Certain of our U.S. insurance companies are members of the FHLBs in their respective districts. Our borrowings from FHLBs are non-puttable and are used to supplement liquidity or for other uses deemed appropriate by management. Our U.S. insurance companies
had
$5.9 billion
which were due to FHLBs in their respective districts at March 31, 2025, under funding agreements which were reported in policyholder contract deposits. These investment contracts do not have mortality or morbidity risk. Proceeds from funding agreements are generally invested in investments intended to generate spread income. In addition, our U.S. insurance companies ha
d no outstanding borrowings in the form of cash advances from FHLBs at March 31, 2025.
Certain of our U.S. insurance companies have securities lending programs that lend securities from their investment portfolios to supplement liquidity or for other uses deemed appropriate by management. Under these programs, these U.S. insurance companies lend securities to financial institutions and receive cash as collateral equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. Cash collateral received is kept in cash or invested in short-term investments or used for short-term liquidity purposes.
The aggregate amount of securities that a U.S. insurance company can lend under its program at any time is limited to 5% of its general account statutory-basis admitted assets. Our U.S. insurance companies had $3.1 billion and $2.4 billion of securities subject to these agreements at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and $3.0 billion and $2.2 billion liabilities to borrowers for collateral received at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
We manage the capital of our Life Fleet Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) ratio targeting above 400%. AGC serves as an affiliate reinsurance company. The surplus of AGC is comprised predominantly of the statutory surplus of the Life Fleet. Given that AGC has no primary operations outside of this internal reinsurance, we believe that excluding AGC from the Life Fleet RBC ratio calculation presents a more accurate view of the overall capital position of our U.S. operating entities. Our Life Fleet RBC ratio was above our minimum target Life Fleet RBC ratio of 400% as of December 31, 2024.
Dividend Restrictions
Payments of dividends to Corebridge Hold Cos. by our U.S. insurance subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions imposed by laws and regulations of their respective states of domicile. With respect to our domestic insurance subsidiaries, the payment of a dividend may require formal notice to the insurance department of the state in which the particular insurance subsidiary is domiciled, and prior approval of such insurance regulator is required when the amount of the dividend is above certain regulatory thresholds. See “
Business — Regulation — U.S. Regulation — State Insurance Regulation” in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Bermuda law also restricts the ability of CRBG Bermuda to pay dividends.
To our knowledge, no Corebridge insurance company is currently on any regulatory or similar “watch list” with regard to solvency.

REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT
On May 12, 2022, Corebridge Parent entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2022 Revolving Credit Agreement”). At December 31, 2024 there were no loans outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement. On March 26, 2025 the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement was terminated without penalty.
On March 26, 2025, Corebridge Parent entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “2025 Revolving Credit Agreement”). The 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement replaces the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement scheduled to mature in 2027. The 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a five year total commitment of $3.0 billion revolving credit facility. Under circumstances described in the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement, the aggregate commitments may be increased by up to $500 million, for a total commitment under the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement of $3.5 billion. Loans under the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement will mature on March 26, 2030. Under the 2025 Revolving Credit Agreement, the applicable rate, commitment fee and letter of credit fee were determined by reference to the credit ratings of Corebridge Parent’s senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness. Borrowings bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to loans in US Dollars, an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin or the adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus an applicable margin, (ii) with respect to loans in Euros, the adjusted European Union interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus an applicable margin, (iii) with respect to loans in Pounds Sterling, the adjusted Daily Simple Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) Rate plus an applicable margin and (iv) with respect to loans in Japanese Yen, the adjusted Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (“TIBOR”) plus an applicable margin.
For additional information on debt outstanding and revolving credit facilities, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 Form 10-K.
DEBT OF CONSOLIDATED INVESTMENT ENTITIES
Our non-financial debt includes debt of consolidated investment entities and such debt does not represent our contractual obligation and is non-recourse to Corebridge.

We are party to some agreements that contain “ratings triggers.” Depending on the ratings maintained by one or more rating agencies, these triggers could result in (i) the termination or limitation of credit availability or a requirement for accelerated repayment, (ii) the termination of business contracts or (iii) a requirement to post collateral for the benefit of counterparties.
In the event of a downgrade of our long-term debt ratings or our insurance subsidiaries’ Insurer Financial Strength (“IFS”) ratings, we would be required to post additional collateral under some derivative and other transactions, or certain of the counterparties of such other of our subsidiaries would be permitted to terminate such transactions early.
The actual amount of collateral that we or certain of our subsidiaries would be required to post to counterparties in the event of such downgrades, or the aggregate amount of payments that we could be required to make, depends on market conditions, the fair value of outstanding affected transactions and other factors prevailing at the time of the downgrade.

Accounting Policies and Pronouncements
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. On a regular basis, we review estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For a detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies and accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 in the 2024 Form 10-K.
|
The accounting policies that we believe are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions, which are critical accounting estimates, are related to the determination of:
|
||
•
fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities;
•
valuation of MRBs related to guaranteed benefit features of variable annuity, fixed annuity and fixed index annuity products;
•
valuation of embedded derivative liabilities for fixed index annuity, registered index-linked annuity and index universal life products;
•
valuation of future policy benefit liabilities and recognition of remeasurement gains and losses;
•
reinsurance assets, including the allowance for credit losses;
•
allowance for credit losses primarily on loans and available-for-sale fixed maturity securities; and
•
income tax assets and liabilities, including recoverability of our net deferred tax asset and the predictability of future tax operating profitability of the character necessary to realize the net deferred tax asset.
These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. To the extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be materially affected.
For a complete discussion of our critical accounting estimates,
see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Accounting Policies and Pronouncements” in the 2024 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4 | Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by Corebridge management, with the participation of Corebridge’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, Corebridge’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) that have occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A | Risk Factors
Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Our business is highly dependent on economic and capital market conditions.
Weakness in economic conditions and capital market volatility in the United States and globally, have in the past led to, and may in the future lead to, among other consequences, a poor operating environment, erosion of consumer and investor confidence, reduced business volumes, deteriorating liquidity of assets, declines in asset valuations, increased levels of credit losses and impairments, and impacts on policyholder behavior that could influence reserve valuations. Further, if our investment managers, including Blackstone IM and BlackRock, or any other asset managers we engage fail to react appropriately to difficult market or economic conditions, our investment portfolio could incur material losses.
Key ways in which we have in the past been, and could in the future be, negatively affected by economic conditions include:
•
increases in policy withdrawals, lapses, surrenders and cancellations and other impacts from changes in policyholder behavior as compared to that assumed in pricing;
•
increases in costs associated with third-party reinsurance, or decreased ability to obtain reinsurance at acceptable terms;
•
increased likelihood of, or increased magnitude of, asset impairments caused by market fluctuations, deterioration in collateral values, or credit deterioration of borrowers;
•
a downgrade in our IFS ratings or credit ratings; and
•
reduced premium and deposits.
Adverse economic conditions may result from a variety of factors, including domestic and global economic and political developments, including elevated interest rates, plateauing or decreasing economic growth and business activity, recessions, or the increased likelihood of recessions, trade disputes with other countries (including the effect of sanctions and trade restrictions, such as tariffs and trade barriers imposed by the United States government and any countermeasures imposed by other governments in response to such tariffs), social inflation, inflationary or deflationary pressures in developed economies, including the United States, pressures on the commercial real estate market, stress in the banking sector, civil unrest, geopolitical tensions or military action, such as the ongoing armed conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East, and new or evolving legal and regulatory requirements on business investment, hiring, migration, labor supply and global supply chains. These and other market, economic, regulatory and political factors, including the prolonged effects of elevated inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty in the United States and globally, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, capital and liquidity in many ways, including:
•
lower levels of consumer demand for and ability to afford our products that decrease revenues and profitability;
•
increased credit impairments, downgrades and losses across single or numerous asset classes due to lower collateral values or deteriorating cash flow and profitability by borrowers that could lead to higher defaults on the company’s investment portfolio, especially in geographic, industry or investment sectors where the company has higher concentrations of exposure, such as real estate related borrowings and widening of credit spreads that could reduce investment asset valuations, decrease fee income and increase statutory capital requirements;
•
increased market volatility and uncertainty that could decrease liquidity with respect to our assets and increase borrowing costs and limit access to capital markets;
•
the reduction of investment income generated by our investment portfolio;
•
the reduction in the availability of investments that are attractive from a risk-adjusted perspective;
•
increased likelihood of disruptions in one market or asset class spreading to other markets or asset classes;
•
the reduction in the availability and effectiveness of hedging instruments;
•
increased frequency of life insurance claims;
Corebridge
| First Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q
132
•
increased likelihood of customers choosing to defer paying premiums or stop paying premiums altogether and other impacts to policyholder behavior beyond what was contemplated in our historical pricing of our products;
•
increased policy withdrawals, surrenders and cancellations;
•
impediments to our ability to execute strategic transactions or fulfill contractual obligations, including those under ceded or assumed reinsurance contracts;
•
increased costs associated with third-party reinsurance, or in general, decreased ability to obtain reinsurance on acceptable terms or in a timely manner;
•
recaptures of liabilities covered by certain reinsurance contracts, including our reinsurance contracts with Fortitude Re;
•
increased costs related to our direct and third-party support services, labor and financing, increased credit risk and decreased sales as a result of inflationary pressures; and
•
limitations on business activities and increased compliance risks with respect to economic sanctions regulations relating to jurisdictions in which our businesses operate.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Excludes excise tax of $3.2 million due to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
On May 4, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program. On April 30, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $2.0 billion increase in the share repurchase amount under the share repurchase program. On February 12, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $2.0 billion increase in the share repurchase amount under the share repurchase program. Under this program, Corebridge Parent may, from time to time, purchase shares of Corebridge Parent common stock but is not obligated to purchase any particular number of shares. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors at any time.
Shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market, through private purchases, through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic repurchase transactions or otherwise. For instance, on August 7, 2024, we purchased an aggregate of approximately $200 million of shares from AIG in a privately negotiated transaction. In addition, certain of our share repurchases have been and may from time to time be effected through Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plans, including the share repurchase plan Corebridge Parent adopted on February 18, 2025, which, unless extended expires on May 7, 2025. The timing of any future share repurchases will depend on market conditions, our business and strategic plans, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and other factors.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Corebridge Parent repurchased approximately 9.9 million shares of Corebridge Parent common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $321 million, pursuant to the share repurchase program.
As of March 31, 2025, approximately $0.4 billion remained under the share repurchase program authorizations.
