The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“Apollo”), the parent company of Athene Holding Ltd. (the “Company”,“Athene”, “we”, and “our”), and the Company are reporting preliminary estimates for the Company’s alternative net investment income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025. This information is being reported prior to the availability of Apollo’s quarterly earnings release and quarterly financial supplement for the fourth quarter, scheduled for release on February 9, 2026.
The Company estimates that alternative net investment income will be approximately $325 million (pre-tax) for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, which equates to an estimated 10% annualized return on alternative net investments. Within these alternative net investments, the Company estimates that the annualized return on its investment in a pooled investment vehicle, through which it holds the large majority of its alternative investments portfolio, equates to an estimated 10% for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025 and the annualized return on its investments in other alternative investments including the Company’s investments in retirement services platforms equates to an estimated 7% for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025. Excluded from these figures is alternative investment income attributable to non-controlling interests. Alternative net investment income is a component of Spread Related Earnings. Spread Related Earnings is a pre-tax, non-GAAP measure used to assess our financial performance. Refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024, filed on February 24, 2025, and the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025, filed on November 10, 2025, which may be accessed at ir.athene.com, for detailed definitions and reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP performance measures.
The preliminary financial results presented above are the responsibility of management and have been prepared in good faith on a basis consistent with prior periods. However, we have not completed our financial closing procedures for the period ended December 31, 2025, and our actual results may differ, possibly materially, from these preliminary financial results due to a variety of factors. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to these preliminary financial results and does not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect to these preliminary financial results or their achievability. During the course of the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the period ended December 31, 2025, we may identify items that would require us to make material adjustments to the preliminary financial results presented above. As a result, investors should exercise caution in relying on this information and should not draw any inferences from this information regarding financial or operating data not provided. These preliminary financial results should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, these preliminary financial results should not be interpreted as indicative of future performance.
The foregoing information is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing or document, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing or document.
