“Our earnings this quarter did not meet our expectations and reflect that our progress will not always be linear, but I am confident in our path forward,” said Ellen Cooper, Chairman, President and CEO of Lincoln Financial Group. “Our group business, which produced notably strong performance in the first half of the year, delivered lower than anticipated results this quarter largely driven by higher severity in group life. Across the enterprise, expenses are elevated and are a critical area of focus and opportunity as we look forward. We achieved sequential sales growth in our Retail Solutions businesses and have strong sales pipelines in all four of our businesses heading into the fourth quarter.”



“Additionally, this year’s annual assumption review was comprehensive, and I feel confident in our go-forward assumptions. Our risk-based capital position was stable in the quarter as we continue to be focused on executing on our strategy to rebuild capital.”


The company reported net income available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2023 of $819 million, or $4.79 per diluted share, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2022 of $1.8 billion, or $10.47 per diluted share. Third quarter adjusted income from operations available to common stockholders was $39 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to adjusted loss from operations available to common stockholders of $2.0 billion, or $(11.49) per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022.

Third Quarter 2023 – Segment Results



Annuities

Annuities reported income from operations of $248 million, down 10% compared to the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to higher expenses.

Total annuity sales of $2.7 billion were down 16% from the prior-year quarter; however, sequentially, total annuity sales increased by 6% driven by higher fixed and traditional variable annuity sales. Net outflows were $874 million in the quarter compared to net inflows of $322 million in the prior-year quarter.



Average account balances, net of reinsurance, for the quarter of $151 billion were up 4% from the prior-year quarter. Variable annuities with living benefits represented 44% of total annuity account balances, net of reinsurance, a decrease of 3 percentage points compared to the prior-year quarter. RILA represented 17% of total annuity account balances, net of reinsurance, an increase of 4 percentage points compared to the prior-year quarter.

Total Life sales of $144 million were down 16% from the prior-year quarter; sequentially, total Life sales were up 17%, driven largely by executive benefits sales.



Group Protection

Group Protection reported income from operations of $68 million in the quarter compared to income from operations of $12 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by improved disability underwriting results. Current quarter income from operations included net favorable notable items of $24 million related to the company’s annual review of reserve assumptions, compared to an unfavorable $12 million in the prior year.




The total loss ratio was 75% in the current quarter compared to 81% in the prior-year quarter with the improvement driven by lower disability incidence.



Insurance premiums of $1.3 billion in the quarter were up 4% compared to the prior-year quarter. Group Protection sales for the quarter were $71 million, down 19% compared to the prior-year quarter, partially offset by 26% growth in supplemental health sales.



Retirement Plan Services

Retirement Plan Services reported income from operations of $43 million, down 9% compared to the prior-year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by higher expenses, partially offset by higher fee and spread income. The current quarter and prior-year quarter included no notable items related to the company’s annual review of reserve assumptions.

Third Quarter Highlights - Realized Gains, Losses, and Other / Impacts to Net Income

Realized gains/losses and other impacts to net income (after-tax) in the quarter were primarily driven by: | · | $1.0 billion gain from annuity product market risk benefits and the associated hedging programs, primarily driven by the rise in interest rates. | | --- | --- | | · | $369 million after-tax impairment of fixed maturity available-for-sale (AFS) securities in an unrealized loss position for the three months ended September 30, 2023, resulting from the company’s intent to sell these securities as part of the previously announced Fortitude Re reinsurance transaction. Within the investment portfolio anticipated to be sold in the transaction, there are additional fixed maturity AFS securities in an unrealized gain position of approximately $164 million, after-tax, as of September 30, 2023. Pursuant to the applicable accounting guidance, the Company impaired the securities in a loss position down to fair market value upon entry into the agreement with Fortitude Re in the second quarter of 2023 and will recognize a gain for any securities in an unrealized gain position at the time when the transaction closes. | | --- | --- | 


Unrealized Gains and Losses

The company reported a net unrealized loss of $14.2 billion, pre-tax, on its available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2023. This compares to a net unrealized loss of $13.5 billion, pre-tax, as of September 30, 2022, with the year-over-year decrease primarily driven by higher treasury rates.



Capital and Liquidity

Holding company available liquidity was $455 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $756 million in the prior-year quarter due to the payment of a $500 million debt maturity.



As of September 30, 2023, the estimated RBC ratio was in the 375-385% range.



Versus the prior-year period, as of September 30, 2023, book value per share, including AOCI, decreased 21% to $13.04, book value per share, excluding AOCI, increased 10% to $63.03, and adjusted book value per share decreased 7% to $63.53.

There was no negative impact to statutory capital related to the annual review of reserve assumptions.

Explanatory Notes on Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Management believes that adjusted income (loss) from operations (or adjusted operating income), adjusted income (loss) from operations available to common stockholders, adjusted income (loss) from operations available to common stockholders, excluding AOCI and preferred stock ROE, adjusted income (loss) from operations ROE, adjusted operating revenues, and adjusted income (loss) from operations per diluted share available to common stockholders better explain the results of the company’s ongoing businesses in a manner that allows for a better understanding of the underlying trends in the company’s current business as the excluded items are unpredictable and not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance of the business segments, and, in most instances, decisions regarding these items do not necessarily relate to the operations of the individual segments. Management also believes that using book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), and adjusted book value per share enables investors to analyze the amount of our net worth that is primarily attributable to our business operations. Book value per share, excluding AOCI is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that are unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates. Adjusted book value per share is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of items that are unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in equity markets and interest rates.



For the historical periods, reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure may be included in this Appendix to the press release and/or are included in the Statistical Reports for the corresponding periods contained in the Earnings section of the Investor Relations page on our website: www.lfg.com/investor.

(1) We exclude deferred units of LNC stock that are antidilutive from our diluted earnings per share calculation.
(2) Includes a 493 million and 369 million after-tax impairment of fixed maturity AFS securities in an unrealized loss position for the three
months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30,2023, respectively, resulting from the Company's intent to sell these securities as part of
the previously announced Fortitude Re reinsurance transaction.  Within the investment portfolio anticipated to be sold in the transaction,
there are additional fixed maturity AFS securities in an unrealized gain position of approximately 164 million after-tax as of September
30, 2023. Pursuant to the applicable accounting guidance, the Company impaired the securities in a loss position down to fair market
value upon entry into the agreement in the second quarter and recognized additional impairment of certain of these securities during
the third quarter due to market fluctuations.  The Company will recognize a gain for any securities in an unrealized gain position at the
time when the transaction closes.
(3) Includes costs pertaining to the Fortitude Re reinsurance transaction.

All values are in US Dollars.


(4) In periods where a net loss or adjusted loss from operations is presented, basic shares are used in the diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS
calculations, as the use of diluted shares would result in a lower loss per share.
(5) For periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, gains (losses) on our GLB and GDB hedge instruments are excluded from adjusted
stockholders’ equity to align to the updated hedge program.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS – CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE

Certain statements made in this press release and in other written or oral statements made by Lincoln or on Lincoln’s behalf are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”). A forward-looking statement is a statement that is not a historical fact and, without limitation, includes any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements. Forward-looking statements may contain words like: “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “shall,” “will” and other words or phrases with similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, trends in Lincoln’s businesses, prospective services or products, future performance or financial results and the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings. Lincoln claims the protection afforded by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the PSLRA.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including: | · | Weak general economic and business conditions that may affect demand for our products, account balances, investment results, guaranteed benefit liabilities, premium levels and claims experience; | | --- | --- | | · | Adverse global capital and credit market conditions that may affect our ability to raise capital, if necessary, and may cause us to realize impairments on investments and certain intangible assets, including goodwill and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, which may reduce future earnings and/or affect our financial condition and ability to raise additional capital or refinance existing debt as it matures; | | --- | --- | | · | The inability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to the holding company in sufficient amounts, which could harm the holding company’s ability to meet its obligations; | | --- | --- | | · | Legislative, regulatory or tax changes, both domestic and foreign, that affect: the cost of, or demand for, our subsidiaries’ products; the required amount of reserves and/or surplus; our ability to conduct business and our captive reinsurance arrangements as well as restrictions on the payment of revenue sharing and 12b-1 distribution fees; | | --- | --- | | · | The impact of U.S. federal tax reform legislation on our business, earnings and capital; | | --- | --- | | · | The impact of regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Department of Labor or other federal or state regulators or self-regulatory organizations relating to the standard of care owed by investment advisers and/or broker-dealers that could affect our distribution model; | | --- | --- | | · | The impact of new and emerging privacy regulations that may lead to increased compliance costs and reputation risk; | | --- | --- | | · | Increasing scrutiny and evolving expectations and regulations regarding ESG matters that may adversely affect our reputation and our investment portfolio; | | --- | --- | | · | Actions taken by reinsurers to raise rates on in-force business; | | --- | --- | | · | Declines in or sustained low interest rates causing a reduction in investment income, the interest margins of our businesses and demand for our products; | | --- | --- | | · | Rapidly increasing interest rates causing policyholders to surrender life insurance and annuity policies, thereby causing realized investment losses; | | --- | --- | | · | The impact of the implementation of the provisions of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation relating to the regulation of derivatives transactions; | | --- | --- | | · | The initiation of legal or regulatory proceedings against us, and the outcome of any legal or regulatory proceedings, such as: adverse actions related to present or past business practices common in businesses in which we compete; adverse decisions in significant actions including, but not limited to, actions brought by federal and state authorities and class action cases; new decisions that result in changes in law; and unexpected trial court rulings; | | --- | --- | | · | A decline or continued volatility in the equity markets causing a reduction in the sales of our subsidiaries’ products; a reduction of asset-based fees that our subsidiaries charge on various investment and insurance products; and an increase in liabilities related to guaranteed benefit riders, which are accounted for as market risk benefits, of our subsidiaries’ variable annuity products; | | --- | --- | | · | Ineffectiveness of our risk management policies and procedures, including our various hedging strategies; | | --- | --- | | · | A deviation in actual experience regarding future policyholder behavior, mortality, morbidity, interest rates or equity market returns from the assumptions used in pricing our subsidiaries’ products and in establishing related insurance reserves, which may reduce future earnings; | | --- | --- | | · | Changes in accounting principles that may affect our consolidated financial statements; | | --- | --- | | · | Lowering of one or more of our debt ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and the adverse effect such action may have on our ability to raise capital and on our liquidity and financial condition; | | --- | --- | | · | Lowering of one or more of the insurer financial strength ratings of our insurance subsidiaries and the adverse effect such action may have on the premium writings, policy retention, profitability of our insurance subsidiaries and liquidity; | | --- | --- | | · | Significant credit, accounting, fraud, corporate governance or other issues that may adversely affect the value of certain financial assets, as well as counterparties to which we are exposed to credit risk, requiring that we realize losses on financial assets; | | --- | --- | | · | Interruption in telecommunication, information technology or other operational systems or failure to safeguard the confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data on such systems, including from cyberattacks or other breaches of our data security systems; | | --- | --- |


| · | The effect of acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items; |

| --- | --- | | · | The inability to realize or sustain the benefits we expect from, greater than expected investments in, and the potential impact of efforts related to, our strategic initiatives, including the Spark Initiative; | | --- | --- | | · | The adequacy and collectability of reinsurance that we have obtained; | | --- | --- | | · | Pandemics, acts of terrorism, war or other human-caused and natural catastrophes that may adversely impact liabilities for policyholder claims, affect our businesses and increase the cost and availability of reinsurance; | | --- | --- | | · | Competitive conditions, including pricing pressures, new product offerings and the emergence of new competitors, that may affect the level of premiums and fees that our subsidiaries can charge for their products; | | --- | --- | | · | The unknown effect on our subsidiaries’ businesses resulting from evolving market preferences and the changing demographics of our client base; and | | --- | --- | | · | The unanticipated loss of key management, financial planners or wholesalers. | | --- | --- | The risks and uncertainties included here are not exhaustive. Our most recent Form 10-K, as well as other reports that we file with the SEC, include additional factors that could affect our businesses and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a rapidly changing and competitive environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors.

Further, it is not possible to assess the effect of all risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. In addition, Lincoln disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this press release.

The reporting of Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) measures is not intended for the purpose of ranking any insurance company or for use in connection with any marketing, advertising or promotional activities.

 Notes


 Non-GAAP Performance Measures
 Non-GAAP measures do not replace the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and we have included detailed reconciliations herein beginning on page 22.

 Adjusted Income (Loss) From Operations
 Adjusted income (loss) from operations is GAAP net income excluding the after-tax effects of the following items, as applicable:
 • Items related to annuity product features, which include changes in market risk benefits (“MRBs”), including gains and losses and benefit payments (“MRB-related impacts”), changes in the fair value
 of the derivative instruments we hold to hedge guaranteed living benefits (“GLB”) and guaranteed death benefits (“GDB”) riders, net of fee income allocated to support the cost of hedging them,
 and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of our indexed annuity contracts and the associated index options we hold to hedge them, including collateral expense associated with
 the hedge program (collectively, “net annuity product features”);
 • Items related to life insurance product features, which include changes in the fair value of derivatives we hold as part of variable universal life insurance (“VUL”) hedging, changes in reserves resulting
 from benefit ratio unlocking associated with the impact of capital markets, and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of our indexed universal life insurance (“IUL”) contracts
 and the associated index options we hold to hedge them (collectively, “net life insurance product features”);
 • Credit loss-related adjustments on fixed maturity available for sale (“AFS”) securities, mortgage loans on real estate and reinsurance-related assets (“credit loss-related adjustments”);
 • Changes in the fair value of equity securities, certain derivatives, certain other investments and realized gains (losses) on sales, disposals and impairments of financial assets (collectively, “investment
 gains (losses)”);
 • Changes in the fair value of reinsurance-related embedded derivatives, trading securities and mortgage loans on real estate electing the fair value option (“changes in the fair value of reinsurance-
 related embedded derivatives, trading securities and certain mortgage loans”);
 • Income (loss) from the initial adoption of new accounting standards, regulations and policy changes;
 • Income (loss) from reserve changes, net of related amortization, on business sold through reinsurance;
 • Transaction and integration costs related to mergers and acquisitions including the acquisition or divestiture, through reinsurance or other means, of businesses or blocks of business;
 • Gains (losses) on modification or early extinguishment of debt;
 • Losses from the impairment of intangible assets and gains (losses) on other non-financial assets; and
 • Income (loss) from discontinued operations.

 Adjusted income (loss) from operations available to common stockholders is defined as after-tax adjusted income (loss) from operations less preferred stock dividends and the adjustment for deferred
 units of LNC stock in our deferred compensation plans.

 Adjusted Operating Revenues
 Adjusted operating revenues represent GAAP revenues excluding the pre-tax effects of the following items, as applicable:
 • Changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments we hold to hedge GLB and GDB riders, net of fee income allocated to support the cost of hedging them, and changes in the fair value of the
 embedded derivative liabilities of our indexed annuity and indexed universal life insurance contracts and the associated index options we hold to hedge them (“revenue adjustments from annuity and
 life insurance product features”);
 • Credit loss-related adjustments;
 • Investment gains (losses);
 • Changes in the fair value of reinsurance-related embedded derivatives, trading securities and certain mortgage loans;
 • Revenue adjustments from the initial adoption of new accounting standards; and
 • Amortization of deferred gains arising from reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance.

 Management believes that the non-GAAP performance measures discussed above explain the results of our ongoing businesses in a manner that allows for a better understanding of the underlying trends
 in our current business as the excluded items are unpredictable and not necessarily indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance of the business segments, and, in many instances,
 decisions regarding these items do not necessarily relate to the operations of the individual segments.  In addition, we believe that our definitions of adjusted operating revenues and adjusted income (loss)
 from operations provide investors with more valuable measures of our performance as they better reveal trends in our business.

 Non-GAAP Performance Measures, Continued

 Stockholders’ Equity, Excluding AOCI and Preferred Stock
 Stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI is stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI and preferred stock.  Management believes this metric is useful to investors because it eliminates market movements that are
 unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily related to changes in interest rates.  Stockholders’ equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

 Adjusted Stockholders’ Equity
 For presented periods prior to January 1, 2023, adjusted stockholders’ equity is stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI, preferred stock and MRB-related impacts. For periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023,
 adjusted stockholders’ equity is stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI, preferred stock, MRB-related impacts and GLB and GDB hedged instruments gains (losses), to align to updates made to our variable
 annuity hedge program effective January 1, 2023. Management believes this metric is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of market movements that are unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly
 from period to period, primarily related to changes in equity markets and interest rates. Stockholders’ equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

 Book Value per Share, Excluding AOCI
 Book value per share, excluding AOCI, is calculated by dividing stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI and preferred stock, by common shares outstanding. We provide book value per share, excluding AOCI, to
 enable investors to analyze the amount of our net worth that is attributable primarily to our business operations. Management believes book value per share, excluding AOCI, is useful to investors because it
 eliminates the effect of items that are unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in interest rates. Book value per share is the most directly comparable GAAP
 measure.

 Adjusted Book Value per Share
 Adjusted book value per share is calculated by dividing stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI, preferred stock and MRB-related impacts, by common shares outstanding. We provide adjusted book value per share
 to enable investors to analyze the amount of our net worth that is attributable primarily to our business operations. Management believes adjusted book value per share is useful to investors because it eliminates
 the effect of items that are unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily based on changes in equity markets and interest rates.  Book value per share is the most directly
 comparable GAAP measure.

 Adjusted Income (Loss) From Operations Available to Common Stockholders, Excluding AOCI and Preferred Stock ROE
 Adjusted income (loss) from operations available to common stockholders, excluding AOCI and preferred stock ROE is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted income (loss) from operations available
 to common stockholders by average stockholders’ equity, excluding AOCI  and preferred stock.  Management believes this metric is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of market movements
 on ROE that are unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily related to changes in interest rates.  Net income (loss) ROE is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

 Adjusted Income (Loss) From Operations ROE
 Adjusted income (loss) from operations ROE is calculated by dividing annualized adjusted income (loss) from operations available to common stockholders by adjusted average stockholders’ equity.
 Management believes this metric is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of market movements on ROE that are unpredictable and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, primarily
 related to changes in equity markets and interest rates.  Net income (loss) ROE is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

 Management believes that the non-GAAP measures discussed above allow for a better understanding of the underlying trends in our current business as the excluded items are unpredictable and not necessarily
 indicative of current operating fundamentals or future performance of the business.

 Computations
 • The quarterly financial information for the current year may not sum to the corresponding year-to-date amount as both are rounded to millions.
 • The financial ratios reported herein are calculated using whole dollars instead of dollars rounded to millions.
 • We exclude deferred units of LNC stock that are antidilutive from our diluted earnings per share calculation.  In addition, for any period where a net loss or adjusted loss from operations is experienced, shares
 used in the diluted EPS calculation represent basic shares, as the use of diluted shares would result in a lower loss per share.
 • Pre-tax net margin is calculated by dividing adjusted income (loss) from operations before taxes by net revenue, which is defined as total adjusted operating revenues less interest credited.

 (1) Excludes obligations under finance leases and certain financing arrangements of 631 million that are reported in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 (2) We have categorized as operating debt the senior notes issued in October 2007 and June 2010 because the proceeds were used as a long-term structured solution to reduce
 the strain on increasing statutory reserves associated with secondary guarantee UL and term policies.
 (3) See reconciliation to stockholders’ equity on page 24.
 (4) The leverage ratio as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, was impacted by the denominator including a 493 million and 369 million after-tax impairment of fixed maturity AFS
 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively, resulting from the Company’s intent to sell these securities as part of the previously announced Fortitude Re reinsurance transaction.
 Within the investment portfolio anticipated to be sold in the transaction, there are additional fixed maturity AFS securities in an unrealized gain position of approximately 164 million,
 after-tax, as of September 30, 2023.  Pursuant to the applicable accounting guidance, the Company impaired the securities in a loss position down to fair market value upon entry into
 the agreement in the second quarter and recognized additional impairment of certain of these securities during the third quarter due to higher interest rates.  The Company will recognize
 a gain for any securities in an unrealized gain position at the time when the transaction closes.

 (1) Includes a 493 million and 369 million after-tax impairment of fixed maturity AFS securities in an unrealized loss position for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and
 September 30, 2023, respectively, resulting from the Company's intent to sell these securities as part of the previously announced Fortitude Re reinsurance transaction.  Within the
 investment portfolio anticipated to be sold in the transaction, there are additional fixed maturity AFS securities in an unrealized gain position of approximately 164 million, after-tax, as
 of September 30, 2023. Pursuant to the applicable accounting guidance, the Company impaired the securities in a loss position down to fair market value upon entry into the agreement
 in the second quarter and recognized additional impairment of certain of these securities during the third quarter due to higher interest rates.  The Company will recognize a gain for any
 securities in an unrealized gain position at the time when the transaction closes.
 (2) Includes costs pertaining to the Fortitude Re reinsurance transaction.

 diluted shares would result in a lower loss per share.  Due to reporting adjusted income (loss) from operations per common share on a different share basis than net income (loss) per
 common share, we have included an adjustment to reconcile the two metrics.
