HOUSTON – February 17, 2023 – Corebridge
Financial, Inc. (“Corebridge” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CRBG) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.
Kevin Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Corebridge, said, “2022 was a year of significant milestones for our company. We rebranded as Corebridge Financial
early in the year as our operational separation from AIG began, and in September, we became a New York Stock Exchange listed company when our initial public offering closed on September 19. We ended the year with strong momentum and remain focused
on our core mission of helping individuals plan, save for and achieve secure financial futures.
“In the fourth quarter and throughout the year, our diversified business platform and broad reach enabled robust sales and attractive margins in fixed and fixed index
annuities, in addition to strong performance realized across all our businesses. We achieved meaningful growth in base spread income and substantial improvement in underwriting margin, and we benefited from strong deposit flows. We have made
progress with Corebridge Forward, our modernization initiative, and are benefiting from our partnerships with Blackstone and BlackRock. We maintained a strong financial position throughout the year and delivered on our capital management goals for
2022.
“As we look ahead, the external environment remains uncertain, but we are steadfastly focused on executing our strategies and delivering on our financial goals. We have
a strong balance sheet and free cash flow profile, and we will stay disciplined in deploying capital to create value for our customers, distribution partners and other stakeholders.”

Fourth Quarter
Net loss was $0.6 billion, a 118% decrease compared to the prior year quarter. The change was largely driven by $3.0
billion of gains recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021 attributed to the sale of our affordable housing portfolio and $1.2 billion of net realized losses in the
fourth quarter of 2022 related to derivatives and foreign exchange movements.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|
Adjusted pre-tax operating income (“APTOI”) was $639 million, a 31% decrease compared to the prior year quarter, largely due to challenging macroeconomic conditions and structural changes in
our business profile, including implementation of the Company’s new capital structure and divestitures. Variable investment income was lower by $488 million, the largest
contributor to the year-over-year decline. Excluding variable investment income, APTOI was $616 million, a 48% increase compared to the prior year quarter, the result of higher base portfolio income, improved mortality experience and lower expenses, partially offset by lower fee income.
Premiums and deposits were $8.7 billion, a 2% increase compared to the prior year quarter. Excluding transactional activity (i.e., pension risk transfer, guaranteed investment contracts
and Group Retirement plan acquisitions), premiums and deposits grew 14% when compared to the prior
year quarter. These results mainly reflect higher fixed and fixed index annuity deposits partially offset by lower variable annuity deposits in Individual Retirement and Group Retirement.
Net investment income was $2.6 billion, a 13% decrease compared to the prior year quarter, while net investment income on an APTOI basis was $2.3 billion, a 7% decrease compared to the prior year quarter. This decline
largely was due to lower variable investment income – notably weaker private equity returns, lower bond call and tender income, and lower commercial mortgage loan prepayment activity – partially offset by higher base portfolio income. Base portfolio
income grew 19% when compared to fourth quarter of 2021.
Full Year
Net income was $8.1 billion, an 11% increase year-over-year, primarily the result of higher gains on the Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative and higher net realized gains, partially
offset by lower net investment income and a gain recorded in 2021 associated with the sale of our affordable housing portfolio.
APTOI was $2.2 billion, a 41% decrease compared to the prior year, largely related to the impact from structural changes in our business and challenging macroeconomic conditions driving higher base portfolio
income, lower variable investment income, lower fee income and higher deferred acquisition costs amortization. Improved mortality experience, as well as a comparatively less adverse result from the annual actuarial assumption review, also impacted
results. Variable investment income was lower by $1.6 billion, the largest contributor to the
year-over-year decline.
Premiums and deposits were $31.6 billion, a 3% increase compared to the prior year.3 Excluding transactional activity, premiums and
deposits grew 8% when compared to 2021. These results primarily reflect higher fixed and fixed index
annuity deposits partially offset by lower variable annuity deposits in Individual Retirement and Group Retirement.

Excludes deposits from the sale of our retail mutual fund business that were sold
to Touchstone on July 16, 2021, or otherwise liquidated in connection with the sale

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|
Net investment income was $9.6 billion, an 18% decrease compared to the prior year, while net investment income on an APTOI basis was $8.8 billion, a 12% decrease compared to the prior year. This decline
largely was due to lower variable investment income – notably weaker private equity returns, lower bond call and tender income, and lower commercial mortgage loan prepayment activity – partially offset by higher base portfolio income. Base portfolio
income grew 5% when compared to 2021.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|
Forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements, risks, uncertainties and other factors identified in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the
date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as otherwise may be required by law.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Throughout this release, 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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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.
Adjusted pre-tax operating income (“APTOI”) is derived by excluding the items set forth below 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 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 RELATED ADJUSTMENTS:
The 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.
As a result of entering into the reinsurance agreements with Fortitude Re we recorded a loss which was primarily attributed to
the write-off of DAC, VOBA and deferred cost of reinsurance assets. The total loss and 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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INVESTMENT RELATED ADJUSTMENTS:
APTOI excludes “Net realized gains (losses),” including changes in the allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale
securities and loans, as well as gains or losses from sales of securities, 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, also included in Net realized gains (losses) 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).
Our investment-oriented contracts, such as universal life insurance, and fixed, fixed index and variable annuities, are also
impacted by net realized gains (losses), and these secondary impacts are also excluded from APTOI. Specifically, the changes in benefit reserves and DAC, VOBA and DSI assets related to net realized gains (losses) are excluded from APTOI.
VARIABLE, FIXED INDEX ANNUITIES AND INDEX UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE PRODUCTS ADJUSTMENTS:
Certain of our variable annuity contracts contain guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWBs”) and are accounted for as
embedded derivatives. Additionally, certain fixed index annuity contracts contain GMWB or indexed interest credits which are accounted for as embedded derivatives, and our index universal life insurance products also contain embedded derivatives.
Changes in the fair value of these embedded derivatives, including rider fees attributed to the embedded derivatives, are recorded through “Net realized gains (losses)” and are excluded from APTOI.
Changes in the fair value of securities used to hedge guaranteed living benefits 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;
|
|
•
|
losses from the impairment of goodwill; and
|
|
•
|
income and loss from divested or run-off business.
|

|
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|
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:
|
•
|
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.
|
Book value, excluding AOCI, adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and
losses related to Fortitude Re’s funds withheld assets (“Adjusted Book Value”) is used to eliminate the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair
value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio where there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities that are not recorded at fair value. 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 Book Value per Common Share is
computed as adjusted book value divided by total common shares outstanding.
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 because it eliminates items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio and foreign currency translation
adjustments. This measure also 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. In
addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re.
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).
Net investment income (APTOI basis) is the sum of base portfolio income and variable investment income.
Normalized distributions are defined as dividends paid by the Life Fleet subsidiaries as well as the international insurance subsidiaries, less non-recurring dividends, plus dividend capacity that would have been available to Corebridge
absent strategies that resulted in utilization of tax attributes. We believe that presenting normalized distributions is useful in understanding a significant component of our liquidity as a stand-alone company.
Operating EPS is calculated by dividing
AATOI by weighted average diluted shares.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|
Premiums and deposits is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes direct and assumed premiums received and earned on traditional life insurance policies, group benefit policies and life-contingent payout annuities, as well as deposits
received on universal life insurance, investment-type annuity contracts and GICs. We believe the measure of premiums and deposits is useful in understanding customer demand for our products, evolving product trends and our sales performance period
over period.

Note: On September 6, 2022, Corebridge
Financial, Inc. effectuated a stock split and recapitalization of its 100,000 shares of common stock, of which 90,100 shares were Class A Common Stock and 9,900 shares were Class B Common Stock. Subsequent to September 6, 2022, there is a single class of Common Stock.
Accordingly, the two-class method for allocating net income will no longer be applicable. Corebridge Financial, Inc. split its 100,000 shares of Class A shares and Class B
shares in a 6,450 to 1 stock split for a total of 645,000,000 shares of a single class of Common
Stock.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|
The results of the stock split have been applied retroactively to the weighted average common shares outstanding for all periods prior to September 6, 2022. After
closing the sale of a 9.9% equity stake in Corebridge to Blackstone on November 2, 2021, Blackstone owned 63,855,000
shares of Class B Common Stock. Prior to the sale of the Class B shares to Blackstone on November 2, 2021, Class B shares did not exist. The Class B Common Stock was pari passu to the Class A Common Stock except for distributions associated with the
sale of the affordable housing portfolio.
Prior to September 6, 2022, we used the two-class method for allocating net income to each class of our common stock. Prior to November 1, 2021, the EPS calculation
allocates all net income ratably to Class A and Class B shares. After November 2, 2021, income was allocated ratably to the Class A and B shares, except for distributions associated with the sale of the affordable housing portfolio in 2021 in which
the Class B shareholder did not participate.
